NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 BACKGROUND, ACQUISITION AND LIQUIDITY
This summary of accounting policies for Nuvilex, Inc. and its subsidiaries is presented to assist in understanding the Companys consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Background
The Company was founded as DJH International, Inc., a Nevada corporation, on October 28, 1996, and changed its name to eFoodSafety.com, Inc. following its October 16, 2000 acquisition of Global Procurement Systems, Inc. The Company acquired Ozone Safe Food, Inc. for Common Stock on October 29, 2003. The Companys early mission was to provide methods and products to ensure the safety of marketed fruits and vegetables worldwide. On February 4, 2004, the Company registered shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission and its Common Stock began publicly trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the trading symbol EFSF. The Company did not issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to an initial public offering. With less than projected demand for its produce sterilization methods and software tracking products, the Company changed its strategy and acquired Knock-Out Technologies, Ltd. and MedElite, Inc. in May 2004 and August 2005, respectively. Knock-Out Technologies, Ltd. is a developer of products using organic, non-toxic food based substances. MedElite, Inc. is the exclusive U.S. distributor of TalsynTM-CI Scar Cream (Talsyn), a topical scar reducing cream. The Companys new strategy was to bring to market scientifically derived products designed to improve the health and well-being of those who use them. The Company sold its Ozone Safe Food, Inc. operations in August 2005. In November 2006, the Company formed Cinnergen, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, to manufacture and market a non-prescription liquid nutritional supplement designed to promote healthy glucose metabolism, and purEffect, Inc., another wholly-owned subsidiary, to manufacture and market purEffectTM, a four-step non-prescription acne treatment. On March 10, 2006, the Company licensed the marketing rights for purEffectTM to Charlston Kentrist 41 Direct, Inc. (CK41). In July 2007, the Company formed I-Boost, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, to manufacture and market a food bar designed to improve the effectiveness of the human immune system. In March 2008, the Company formed Cinnechol, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, to manufacture and market a non-prescription nutritional supplement designed to promote cardiovascular health. In February 2009, the Company sold its remaining rights in the purEffectTM product to CK41 for an equity position in CK41 and future royalty compensation. In March 2009, the Company acquired Freedom2 Holdings, Inc., the manufacturer and marketer of Infinitink®, a permanent tattoo ink designed to be removed more easily using conventional laser removal methods. On March 18, 2009, the Company changed its name to Nuvilex, Inc.
Acquisition Purchase Price
On March 2, 2009, The Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Freedom-2 Holdings, Inc. whereby the Company issued 48,205,000 shares of its common stock to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of F2Holdings at $0.047 per share for a total purchase price of $2,265,634. Freedom-2 Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Freedom-2, Inc. were formed on January 30, 2007. At the time of Freedom-2Holdings formation, all of its outstanding common stock was owned by Freedom-2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. On January 31, 2007, all of the aforementioned entities entered into an agreement and plan of merger under which Freedom-2, LLC was merged with and into Freedom-2 Holdings, Inc. and, as of that date, Freedom-2, LLC ceased to exist and Freedom-2 Holdings, Inc. continued as the surviving corporation. The Companys share exchange agreement transaction with Freedom-2 Holdings, Inc. has been accounted for as a purchase. Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of acquiree are recorded as of the completion of the merger, at their respective fair values, and then consolidated with the values of the acquirer.
As presented in the Companys April 30, 2009 restated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of Freedom-2 Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Freedom-2, Inc. were transferred at fair value.
F-4
Generally accepted accounting principles require that under the purchase method of accounting assets and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recorded at their respective fair values. An independent appraisal of assets and liabilities was not undertaken at the time of the share exchange and thus assets and liabilities assumed were not recorded at fair value. In 2010 an independent third party appraisal was obtained resulting in the restatement of the April 30, 2009 financial statements. The result of the Company restatement of its share exchange is as follows:
| Original Accounting using Acquiree's Net Book Value |
| Restated Accounting using GAAP Fair Value |

Common Stock issued for acquisition | $ 2,265,634 |

Goodwill | $ 2,113,412 |
| $ 2,146,553 |
As of part of the Companys reexamination of its fiscal 2009 financial statements, a fair market assessment of the Companys goodwill asset for the year ended April 30, 2010 found that the goodwill and intangible asset did not provide any current or future value to the Company. Current market conditions have materially impacted the Companys ability to make market or sell its Infinitink® product line, the principle product acquired in the Companys acquisition of Freedom-2 Holdings, Inc. The Company believes that the goodwill, building and the intangible assets acquired in this transaction are impaired. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a $2,309,842 charge to impairment loss recognized for acquired and intangible assets in its April 30, 2010 Statement of Operations.
NOTE 2 - Going Concern and Managements Plans
The Companys financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. In addition, as of January 31, 2011, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $36,855,157, has incurred a net loss for the nine months ended January 31, 2011 of $304,180 and has a working capital deficit of $3,375,585. The Companys current business plan requires additional funding beyond its anticipated cash flows from operations. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
With an overall goal of long-term growth, the Company has been working to stabilize its financial condition. The Companys financial stability efforts include three primary components:
1.
The reduction of the Company cash burn rate to breakeven or better,
2.
The sale or lease of its Cherry Hill, New Jersey property,
3.
The establishment of a workout plan with the Companys lenders and creditors that will resolve, over time, the amounts owed without actions or litigation that would disrupt the Companys ability to operate, and
4.
The pursuit of a product sales and growth strategy that will augment the Companys cash position and that will ultimately lead to profitability.
Management believes that its multi-part strategy will strengthen the Companys position and both the short and long term viability of the Company.
NOTE 3 Significant Accounting Policies
Unaudited Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending April 30, 2011. The balance sheet at April 30, 2010, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2010.
F-5
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nuvilex, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Knock-Out Technologies, Ltd., MedElite, Inc., Cinnergen, Inc., I-Boost, Inc., Cinnechol Inc., Freedom-2 Holdings, Inc, Freedom-2, Inc. and Exceptional Equipment and Ink Supply Company, Inc. With respect to the latter three subsidiaries the financials include the profit and loss activity from the date of purchase March 2, 2009 to January 31, 2011 as the acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Restatement of Prior Year Financial Statements
In conjunction with the Companys change of registered certified public accountants, a re-examination of the Companys financial statements for the year ending April 30, 2009 and the application of generally accepted accounting principles for the application of the purchase method of accounting it was necessary for the Company to restate its April 30, 2009 balance sheet and results of operations for the year then ended. The restatement of the Companys April 30, 2009 balance sheet and results of operations for the year then ended also triggered a restatement of the Companys January 31, 2010 results of operations for the quarter then ended. An analysis of the restated January 31, 2010 results of operations for the three and nine months ending are included in Note 11 Restated Financial Statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed on a weighted-average basis, which approximates the first-in, first-out method, and market is based upon estimated replacement costs. Costs included in inventory primarily include finished product and packaging.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures that increase the useful lives or capacities of the plant and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to income as incurred. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:
Computer equipment/software
3 years
Furniture and fixtures
7 years
Machinery and equipment
7 years
Building improvements
15 years
Building
40 years
Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles
The Company records the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired as goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles. The FASB standard on goodwill and other intangible assets, prescribes a two-step process for impairment testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, which is performed annually, as well as when an event triggering impairment may have occurred. The first step tests for impairment, while the second step, if necessary, measures the impairment. The Company has elected to perform its annual analysis at the end of its reporting year.

The Company accounts for the valuation of long-lived assets under the FASB standard for accounting for the impairment or disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The FASB standard requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future undiscounted net cash flows generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period without consideration of the dilutive effect of stock warrants, convertible notes and convertible preferred shares.
Fair value of financial instruments
For certain of the Companys non-derivative financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities, the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based primarily on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for similar debt issues. The fair value approximates the carrying value of long-term debt.
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
| · | Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; |
| · | Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and |
| · | Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
The following presents the gross value of assets and liabilities that were measured and recognized at fair value.
| · | Level 1: none |
| · | Level 2: none |
| · | Level 3: none |
F-7
Effective October 1, 2008, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820-10") and Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments ("ASC 825-10"), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Neither of these statements had an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
As of January 31, 2011 the Company has recorded several of its assets and liabilities at fair value. The building held for sale was written down in the last quarter of fiscal 2010 to its fair value based upon a sale agreement. Although the agreement was not finalized it established the current market value for the property (refer to Note 7). In March of 2009 through the acquisition of another company the Company acquired certain debt. As part of the acquisition these liabilities were evaluated by a third party and valued at fair value at which they were recorded. As a result of this the Company is amortizing the associated discount and premium for two of the liabilities (refer to Note 8).
Recent accounting pronouncements
In December 2010, the FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-29 Business Combinations Topic 805, which requires a public entity to disclose pro forma information for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period. The disclosures include pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting period. If comparative financial statements are presented, the pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the comparable prior reporting period should be reported as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the current year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. Effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption did not have an impact on the Companys financial position and results of operations.
In March 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-11 (ASU 2010-11), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives. The amendments in this Update are effective for each reporting entity at the beginning of its first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of each entitys first fiscal quarter beginning after issuance of this Update. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-11 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In February 2010, the FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-10 (ASU 2010-10), Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments for Certain Investment Funds. The amendments in this Update are effective as of the beginning of a reporting entitys first annual period that begins after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Companys adoption of provisions of ASU 2010-10 did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 Subsequent Events (ASC Topic 855) Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements (ASU No. 2010-09). ASU No. 2010-09 requires an entity that is an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued and removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date, in both issued and revised financial statements, through which the filer had evaluated subsequent events. The adoption did not have an impact on the Companys financial position and results of operations.
In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, to require reporting entities to separately disclose the amounts and business rationale for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and separately present information regarding purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures on a gross basis. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 with the exception of disclosures regarding the purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.
In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 505, Equity, where entities that declare dividends to shareholders that may be paid in cash or shares at the election of the shareholders are considered to be a share issuance that is reflected prospectively in EPS, and is not accounted for as a stock dividend. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009 and is to be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. This standard clarifies the existing accounting guidance such that tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the products essential functionality, shall be excluded from the scope of the software revenue recognition accounting standards. Accordingly, sales of these products may fall within the scope of other revenue recognition standards or may now be within the scope of this standard and may require an allocation of the arrangement consideration for each element of the arrangement. This standard will become effective on January 1, 2011.
In October 2009, FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the accounting for revenue in arrangements with multiple deliverables including how the arrangement consideration is allocated among delivered and undelivered items of the arrangement. Among the amendments, this standard eliminated the use of the residual method for allocating arrangement considerations and requires an entity to allocate the overall consideration to each deliverable based on an estimated selling price of each individual deliverable in the arrangement in the absence of having vendor-specific objective evidence or other third party evidence of fair value of the undelivered items. This standard also provides further guidance on how to determine a separate unit of accounting in a multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement and expands the disclosure requirements about the judgments made in applying the estimated selling price method and how those judgments affect the timing or amount of revenue recognition. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, will become effective on January 1, 2011.
F-8
In August 2009, FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the measurement of liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. This standard clarifies how a company should measure the fair value of liabilities and that restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as a factor in the measurement of liabilities within the scope of this standard. This standard is effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
On September 30, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to the authoritative hierarchy of GAAP. These changes establish the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be authoritative in their own right as they will only serve to update the Codification. These changes and the Codification itself do not change GAAP. Other than the manner in which new accounting guidance is referenced, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Companys financial statements.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Revenue Recognition
Sales of products and related costs of products sold are recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. These terms are typically met upon the prepayment and shipment of Cinnechol, the prepayment or invoicing and shipment Cinnergen, the prepayment or invoicing and shipment of inks and tattoo equipment, the invoicing and shipment of Talsyn scar cream to the customer.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company provides an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable balances based on historical experience and the aging of the related accounts receivable.
Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are calculated using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
In June 2006, the FASB interpreted its standard for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, an interpretation of accounting for income taxes. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entitys financial statements in accordance the minimum recognition threshold and measurement attributable to a tax position taken on a tax return is required to be met before being recognized in the financial statements. The FASBs interpretation had no material impact on the Companys financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2010. As of April 30, 2010 and January 31, 2011, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $37,500,000 and $37,768,122, respectively that may be offset against future taxable income through 2025. Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements, because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carry forwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carry forwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
F-9
Research and Development Costs
Expenditures for research and development are expensed as incurred. Such costs are required to be expensed until the point that technological feasibility is established. For the nine months ended January 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred research and development costs of $9,272 and $483,114, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with one financial institution in the form of demand deposits.
NOTE 4 ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company recognizes receivables predominately on sales of its Cinnergen and private label ink products. At January 31, 2011, the Company has not established an allowance for doubtful accounts as the Company currently deems all of its receivables as collectable.
NOTE 5 - INVENTORY
At January 31, 2011 and April 30, 2010, inventory consisted of $883 and $2,528, respectively of finished goods inventory for Cinnergen products. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed on a weighted-average basis, which approximates the first-in, first-out method; market is based upon estimated replacement costs.
NOTE 6 - FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets consisted of the following:

| $ 107,538 |
Depreciation expense for the nine months ended January 31, 2011 and 2010 was $32,220 and $88,800, respectively.
NOTE 7 - ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
In accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financing Accounting Standards Board, assets held for sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell and the recognition of depreciation expense is discontinued. On February 16, 2010, the Company entered into a $1,150,000 Sale Agreement for its Cherry Hill facility. Although the Sale Agreement was never finalized, the Sale Agreement establishes a fair market value less than the book value for the Companys building and building improvements. Generally accepted accounting principles require the Company to adjust the value of its fixed asset to fair market value. The Company has adjusted and reclassified the value of its building and building improvements to fixed assets held for sale in the amount of $1,081,000 ($1,150,000 less $69,000 in estimated real estate commission) as of April 30, 2010 and January 31, 2011.

In July 2009, the mortgage agreement with Cornerstone bank was modified whereby the principle of $43,572 paid to date on the note was re-advanced to the borrower returning the principle balance to $1,600,000. Payments under the modified agreement commenced on September 1, 2009. The pending sale of the Companys building accelerates the potential payment of the Cornerstone bank mortgage to the current year. Accordingly, although the maturity date of the mortgage extends to February 1, 2013, the Company recognizes the entire outstanding mortgage value as a current liability. At the date of acquisition the mortgage and license fee payable were recorded at fair value on the Companys balance sheet. The above schedule adjusts the book value of those liabilities to their fair value, net of applicable amortization of the discount and premium as of January 31, 2011 and April 30, 2010.
May 2010 to present, the Company in cooperation with its major secured and unsecured creditors have formed an ad hoc committee of creditor to collaborate toward a resolution of its outstanding debt and trade payable obligations. The ad hoc committee is overseeing the sale of the Companys real estate holdings and the liquidation of idle furniture and fixtures, manufacturing and research and development assets. Additionally, the Company and the ad hoc committee are evaluating the sale of certain product lines and collection of past due royalties from Charlston Kentrist 41 Direct, Inc. (CK-41) the proceeds of which would be used to extinguish debt and trade payable obligations. The ad hoc committee is chaired by Cornerstone Bank, the Company mortgage lender and largest creditor.
NOTE 9 - PREFERRED STOCK
In December 2007, the Company issued 5,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock to a single shareholder for cash of $500,000.
In April 2008, the Company issued an additional 5,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock to the same shareholder for cash of $500,000.
From August 1, 2009 through October 31, 2009, the shareholder converted 5,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock to 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
Series E Preferred Stock has, among others, the following features:
·
Series E Preferred Shares will not bear any dividends.
·
Each share of Series E Preferred Stock is entitled to receive its share of assets distributable upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company. The holders of the Series E Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Company before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any capital stock of the Company of any class junior in rank to the Series E Preferred Shares.
·
Each share of Series E Preferred Stock is convertible, at the holders option, into shares of Common Stock, at the average Closing Bid Price of the Companys common stock for five (5) trading days prior to the Conversion Date.
·
At every meeting of stockholders, every holder of Series E Preferred Stock is entitled to 50,000 votes for each share of Series E Preferred Stock in his name, with the same and identical voting rights as a holder of a share of Common Stock.
The average Closing Bid Price at January 31, 2011 was $0.02. Based on the Series E Preferred Stock provisions, if converted on January 31, 2011, the outstanding Series E Preferred Shares would have converted into 25,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock. The full value for the convertible Preferred Stock was recorded outside of stockholders equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 11 RESTATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In conjunction with the Companys change of registered certified public accountants, a re-examination of the Companys financial statements for the year ending April 30, 2009 and the application of generally accepted accounting principles for the application of the purchase method of accounting, it was necessary to restate the Companys April 30, 2009 balance sheet and results of operations for the year then ended. This restatement in turn triggered a restatement of the Companys January 31, 2010 balance sheet and results of operations for the quarter then ended.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2011 AND 2010
The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed here. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, any factors discussed in this section as well as factors described in Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2011 AND 2010
SALES
Revenues from operations for the three months ended January 31, 2011 and 2010 were $32,022 and $75,150, respectively. The decrease in quarterly revenue is primarily attributable to a decline in Cinnergen retail wholesale orders.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
During the three months ended January 31, 2011, the Company incurred research and development expenses of $3,913 compared with $41,686 during the three months ended January 31, 2010. The Companys research and development costs decreased with available resources. In the prior year research and development expenses were concentrated toward the advancement of the Companys supplement products.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
A summary of the Companys selling, general and administrative costs is as follows:
During the three months ended January 31, 2011, the Company incurred sales and marketing expenses of $1,005 compared to sales and marketing expenses of $58,157 during the three months ended January 31, 2010. Current period sales and marketing expenses decreased as a result of the decrease in available financial resources.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $73,898 from $560,421 for the three months ended January 31, 2011 as compared to the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in personnel and related facilities operating costs.
In the third quarter of 2010 the Company adjusted the value of its fixed assets to market value and recorded a loss for impairment of assets of $1,153,779. There were no such impairments in the current period.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2011 AND 2010
SALES
Revenues from operations for the nine months ended January 31, 2011 and 2010 were $74,851 and $213,267, respectively. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to a decline in Cinnergen retail wholesale orders.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
During the nine months ended January 31, 2011, the Company incurred research and development expenses of $9,272 compared with $483,114 during the nine months ended January 31, 2010. The Companys research and development costs decreased with available resources. Research and development expenses in the prior year were concentrated toward the advancement of the Companys supplement products.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
A summary of the Companys selling, general and administrative costs is as follows:
During the nine months ended January 31, 2011, the Company incurred sales and marketing expenses of $8,005 compared to sales and marketing expenses of $299,517 during the nine months ended January 31, 2010. Current period sales and marketing expenses decreased as a result of the decrease in available financial resources.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $193,100 from $1,113,514 for the nine months ended January 31, 2011 as compared to the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in personnel and related facilities operating costs.
In the third quarter of 2010 the Company adjusted the value of its fixed assets to market value and recorded a loss for impairment of assets of $1,153,779. There were no such impairments in the current period.
4
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of January 31, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3,375,585.
By adjusting the Companys operations, including a decrease in ongoing salary, benefits, facilities, research and development expenses, and through bridge financing to be provided by existing shareholders, management believes it has sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow deficits. Any failure by the Company to generate sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources on terms acceptable to it would have a materially adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.
The Companys independent certified public accountants have stated in their reports, which are included as part of the Companys audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, that the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, which raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, special purpose entities, financing partnerships or guarantees.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of and Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of Nuvilex, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the companys principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the companys board of directors, management and other personnel, 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 of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
·
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
·
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
·
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2011. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of January 31, 2011, the Companys internal control over financial reporting is ineffective based on those criteria as they relate to timely and accurate filing.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDING
NONE.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In evaluating the business of the Company and making investment decisions, you should carefully consider the risks described below, which may affect future results, together with all of the other information included or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q, the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended April, 30, 2010 and the other filings of the Company made from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The risks and uncertainties described below are those that the Company currently believes may materially affect its business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flow, future prospects, ability to pay liabilities and trading price of the Companys shares of common stock. The below description includes any material changes to and supersedes the description of risk factors associated with the business previously disclosed in Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors of the Companys Annual Report on form 10K for the twelve months ended April 30, 2010. Additional risks and uncertainties that Nuvilex is unaware of or that it currently deems immaterial also may become important factors that affect its business, result of operations, financial condition, cash flow, future prospects, ability to pay liabilities and trading price of the Companys shares of common stock. Nuvilexs common shares involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by investors who can afford a loss of their entire investment. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors concerning the Companys business before making an investment.
6
Doubt Regarding Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
Nuvilexs financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is and will remain a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had minimal revenues and incurred net operating losses for the period October 1999 (inception) to January 31, 2011. As the Companys independent auditors have concluded, these factors create an uncertainty about Nuvilexs ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent, among other factors, on its success in marketing its products, containing costs, establishing a credit facility, and/or raising additional equity capital. The financial statements of Nuvilex do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Early Revenue Stage Company: Generation of Revenues
Nuvilex is an early revenue stage company and an investor cannot reasonably determine if the Company will ever be profitable. Nuvilex is likely to continue to experience financial difficulties during its early revenue stage and beyond. The Company may be unable to operate profitably, even if it generates additional revenues. Nuvilex may not obtain the necessary working capital to continue developing and marketing its products. Furthermore, Nuvilexs products may not receive sufficient interest to generate revenues or achieve profitability.
Need for Future Capital: Long-Term Viability of Company
Nuvilex will need additional capital to continue its operations.
There can be no assurance that the Company will generate revenues from operations or obtain sufficient capital on acceptable terms, if at all. Failure to obtain such capital or generate such operating revenues would have an adverse impact on the Companys financial position, operations and ability to continue as a going concern. Nuvilexs operating and capital requirements during the next fiscal year and thereafter will vary based on a number of factors, including the level of sales and marketing activities for its services and products. There can be no assurance that additional private or public financing, including debt or equity financing, will be available as needed or if available, on terms favorable to the Company. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders and such additional equity securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges that are senior to those of Nuvilexs existing common stock.
Furthermore, debt financing, if available, will require payment of interest and may involve restrictive covenants that could impose limitations on the flexibility of the Company to operate. Nuvilexs failure to successfully obtain additional funding may jeopardize its ability to continue the business and its operations.
If the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, existing stockholders may experience a dilution in their ownership. In addition, as a condition to giving additional funds to the Company, future investors may demand, and be granted, rights superior to those of existing shareholders.
Unpredictability of Future Revenues: Potential Fluctuations in Operating Results
The Company is currently unable to accurately forecast its revenues. Typically, current and future expense levels are based largely on marketing and development plans and estimates of future revenues. Sales and operating results will generally depend on the volume and timing of orders and on the Companys ability to fulfill such orders, both of which are difficult to forecast at this stage. Nuvilex may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. Accordingly, any significant shortfall in revenues in relation to planned expenditures could have an immediate adverse effect on the Companys business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Further, as a strategic response to changes in the competitive environment, Nuvilex may from time to time make certain pricing, service or marketing decisions that could have a materially adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Nuvilex may experience significant fluctuations in future operating results due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside the Companys control. Factors that may affect operating results include: (i) the ability to obtain and retain customers, attract new customers at a steady rate and maintain customer satisfaction with products, (ii) the announcement or introduction of new services by Nuvilex or its competitors, (iii) price competition, (iv) the level of use and consumer acceptance of its products, (v) the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to expansion of the business, operations and infrastructure, (vi) governmental regulations, and (vii) general economic conditions.
7
Flaws and Defects in Products
Products offered by Nuvilex may contain undetected flaws or defects when first introduced or as new versions are released. Any inaccuracy or defects may result in adverse product reviews and a loss or delay in market acceptance. There can be no assurance that flaws or defects will not be found in Nuvilex products. Flaws and defects, if found, could have a materially adverse effect upon the business operations and financial condition of the Company. Marketing of any of the Companys potential products may expose the Company to liability claims resulting from the use of the Companys products. These claims might be made by consumers, health care providers, sellers of the Companys products or others. A claim, particularly resulting from a clinical trial, or a product recall could harm the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flow and future prospects.
Stock Price Volatility
The market price of the Companys stock has fluctuated significantly in the past and may continue to fluctuate in the future. The Company believes that such fluctuations will continue as a result of many factors, including financing plans, future announcements concerning the Company, the Companys competitors or principal customers regarding financial results or expectations, industry supply or demand dynamics, new product introductions, governmental regulations, the commencement or results of litigation or changes in earnings estimates by analysts. In addition, in recent years the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations often for reasons outside the control of the particular companies. These fluctuations as well as general economic, political and market conditions may have an adverse affect on the market price of the Companys common stock.
Worldwide Economic Conditions
The Companys financial performance is significantly affected by worldwide economic conditions and the related impact on levels of consumer spending, which has recently deteriorated significantly in many countries and regions, including the U.S., and may remain depressed for the foreseeable future. Demand for the Companys products is adversely affected by negative macroeconomic factors affecting consumer spending. The severe tightening of consumer credit, low level of consumer liquidity, and extreme volatility in credit and equity markets have weakened consumer confidence and decreased consumer spending. These and other economic factors have reduced demand for the Companys products and harmed the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations, and to the extent such economic conditions continue, they could cause further harm to the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations.
Dependence on Sales through Retailers and Distributors
The Companys business depends significantly upon sales through retailers and distributors, and if the Companys retailers and distributors are not successful, the Company could experience reduced sales, substantial product returns or increased price protection, any of which would negatively impact the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations. A significant portion of the Companys sales are made through retailers, either directly or through distributors. If the Companys retailers and distributors are not successful due to weak consumer retail demand caused by the current worldwide economic downturn, decline in consumer confidence, or other factors, the Company could continue to experience reduced sales as well as substantial product returns or price protection claims, which would harm the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations.
Limited Senior Management Personnel: Management of Potential Growth; New Management Team
Under Nuvilexs business plan, it intends to rapidly and significantly expand its operations to address potential growth in its customer base and market opportunities. This expansion is expected to place a significant strain on the Companys management, operations and financial resources.
To manage the expected growth of its operations and personnel, the Company may be required to implement new, transaction processing, operating and financial systems, procedures and controls, and to expand, train and manage a growing employee base. Nuvilex may also deem it prudent to expand its finance, administrative and operations staff.
There can be no assurance that Nuvilexs planned personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support its future operations, that management will be able to hire, train, retain, motivate and manage personnel or that management will be able to successfully identify, manage and exploit existing and potential market opportunities. If Nuvilex is unable to manage growth effectively, the Companys business, prospects, financial condition, results and operations could be materially adversely affected.
8
Competition
The market in which Nuvilex competes is highly competitive, and the Company has no assurance that it will be able to compete effectively, especially against established industry competitors with significantly greater financial resources. The Company expects to face competition from a few competitors with significantly greater financial resources, well-established brand names and large, existing customer bases. Nuvilex expects the level of competition to intensify in the future.
Dependence on Management
Nuvilexs performance will be substantially dependent on the continued services and on the performance of the current senior management and other key personnel of the Company. Nuvilexs performance will also depend on the Companys ability to retain and motivate its other officers and key employees. The loss of Nuvilexs chief executive officer or other key employees could have a materially adverse effect on the Companys business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Nuvilexs future success will depend on its ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate other highly skilled technical, managerial, merchandising, and marketing and customer service personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense and there can be no assurance that Nuvilex will be able to successfully attract, assimilate and retain sufficiently qualified personnel. The failure to retain and attract the necessary technical and managerial personnel could have a materially adverse effect on the Companys business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Development of Brand Awareness
For certain market segments that Nuvilex plans to pursue, the development of its brand awareness is essential for it to reduce its marketing expenditures over time and realize greater benefits from marketing expenditures. If the Companys brand-marketing efforts are unsuccessful, growth prospects, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected. Nuvilexs brand awareness efforts have required, and will continue to require, incurrence of significant expenses.
Intellectual Property Protection: Uncertainty of Protection of Proprietary Rights
Nuvilex currently relies on a combination of patents, trademarks, trade secret protection, non-disclosure agreements and licensing arrangements to establish and protect its proprietary rights. Despite efforts to safeguard and maintain Nuvilexs proprietary rights, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in doing so or that its competitors will not independently develop products that are substantially equivalent or superior to Nuvilexs products.
Nuvilex also relies on trade secrets and proprietary know-how, which the Company seeks to protect by confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with its employees, consultants, and third parties. There can be no assurance that these agreements will not be breached, that the Company will have adequate remedies for any breach, or that certain of Nuvilexs trade secrets and proprietary know-how will not otherwise become known or be discovered by competitors.
Litigation may become necessary to enforce Nuvilexs intellectual property rights, to protect trade secrets, to determine the validity or scope of the proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Such litigation, whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and diversions of management resources, either of which could have a materially adverse effect on Nuvilexs business, prospects, financial condition, or operating results.
Availability and Coverage of Insurance
For certain risks, the Company does not maintain insurance coverage because of cost and/or availability. Because the Company retains some portion of its insurable risks, and in some cases self-insures completely, unforeseen or catastrophic losses in excess of insured limits could have a materially adverse effect on the Companys financial condition and operating results.
Federal, State, Local and Foreign Laws and Regulations
The Companys past research, product development and manufacturing activities have involved the controlled use of hazardous materials, and the Company may incur significant costs as a result of the need to comply with numerous laws and regulations. The Company is subject to laws and regulations enforced by the FDA, the DEA, the CDHS, foreign health authorities and other regulatory statutes including the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Environmental Protection Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and other current and potential federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of the Companys products, materials used to develop the Companys products, and resulting waste products.
9
Penny Stock Regulation
The Companys securities may be subject to penny stock rules that impose additional sales requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchasers written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Companys securities. The foregoing required penny stock restrictions will not apply to the Companys common stock if such securities maintain a market price of $5.00 or greater. The market price of the Companys common stock may not reach or remain at such a level.
Nuvilex anticipates that it will expend significant financial and management resources in its efforts to comply with the internal control attestation provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2011.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the rules and regulations promulgated there under, require Nuvilex to have management attest to the adequacy of its internal controls in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending April 30, 2011. The Companys internal controls did not meet such requirements on April 30, 2010 or January 31, 2011 and the Company will be required to make substantial changes to its internal controls in order for management to be able to make the required attestations by the end of the fiscal year ending April 30, 2011. Larger public companies that are currently required to comply with Section 404 have incurred significant monetary and other expenses from diversion of management time and attention, the acquisition of new computer software, the employment of additional personnel and training and third party internal controls consultants. In light of Nuvilexs current capital position, the Company anticipates that it will be time-consuming, costly and difficult for it to develop and implement the internal controls necessary for management to make the required attestations. Nuvilex intends to hire additional financial reporting and internal controls personnel, acquire software and retain a third party consultant during year ended 2011
