PROTON LABORATORIES, INC
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 -BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The condensed consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Proton Laboratories, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary
("Proton" or the "Company"). All significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
In April 2004, the Company changed its name from BentleyCapitalCorp.com, Inc. to
Proton Laboratories, Inc. The Company's subsidiary also changed its name from
Proton Laboratorie-s, Inc. to Water Science, Inc.
CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - The accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements are condensed and, therefore, do not include
all disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. These statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's annual financial statements included in the Company's
December 31, 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. In particular, the Company's
significant accounting principles were presented as Note 1 to the consolidated
financial statements in that report. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and consist of only
normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations presented in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months
ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the full year ending December 31, 2004.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS - The Company's operations are located in Alameda,
California. The core business of the Company consists of the sales and marketing
of the Company's industrial, environmental and residential systems throughout
the United States of America which alter the properties of water to produce
functional water. The Company acts as an exclusive importer and master
distributor of these products to various companies in which uses for the product
range from food processing to retail water sales. Additionally, the Company
formulates intellectual properties under licensing agreements, supplies consumer
products, consults on projects utilizing functional water, facilitates between
manufacturer and industry and acts as educators on the benefits of functional
water.
NOTE 2 - BUSINESS CONDITION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The
company has incurred net losses of $39,053 and $40,091 for the three months
ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company had a working capital
deficit of $73,976 and $156,505 at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003,
respectively. Loans from the Company's president were required to fund
operations.
The Company is working towards raising public funds to expand its marketing and
revenues. The Company has spent considerable time in contracting with several
major overseas corporations for the co-development of enhanced antioxidant
beverages for distribution into the overseas markets. In addition, the Company
is working with its Canadian business associates to identify institutional
businesses to market various disinfection applications based upon functional
water, pending government approval.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its
ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations on a timely
basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and

ultimately to attain profitable operations. However, there is no assurance that
profitable operations or sufficient cash flows will occur in the future.
NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company's president and
majority shareholder advanced the Company $125,000. At March 31, 2004 and
December 31, 2003, the balance in the shareholder loans was $209,000 and
$84,000, respectively. These advances bear interest at 7% with principal and
accrued interest due November 2005. At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the
accrued interest was $2,570 and $735.
During the three months ended, the Company accrued $15,000 as salaries payable
to the president resulting in $30,000 of salaries payable at March 31, 2004.
During the three months ended March 31, 2003, the president did not receive any
amounts related to his salary. The Company determined that the fair value of
these services was $15,000. Thus the Company recorded a salary expense and
contributed capital for the fair value of the president's services.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT
Certain statements contained in this report, including, without limitation,
statements containing the words, "believes," "anticipates," "expects," and other
words of similar meaning, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, of to be
materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given these
uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
forward-looking statements. We disclaim any obligation to update any such
factors or to announce publicly the results of any revision of the
forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference herein to
reflect future events or developments. In addition to the forward-looking
statements contained in this Form 10-QSB, the following forward-looking factors
could cause our future results to differ materially our forward-looking
statements: competition, funding, government compliance and market acceptance of
our products.
INTRODUCTION
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and
results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial
statements and accompanying notes and the other financial information appearing
elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as
a going concern.
Our operations are located in Alameda, California. Our business consists
of the sales and marketing of the industrial, environmental and residential
systems throughout the United States of America which alter the properties of
water to produce functional water. We act as an exclusive importer and master
distributor of these products to various companies in which uses for the product
range from food processing to retail water sales. We formulate intellectual
properties under licensing agreements, supply consumer products, consult on
projects utilizing functional water, facilitate between manufacturer and
industry and act as educators on the benefits of functional water.
Our independent auditors made a going concern qualification in their report
dated March 12, 2004, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. Our revenue decreased during 2003. During the
quarter ended March 31, 2004, our revenue increased compared to the quarter
ended March 31, 2003. During 2003 our president contributed funds to us to fund
operations. There is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a
going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating
to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts
and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to
continue in existence. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations on a
timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately
to attain profitable operations. However, there is no assurance that profitable
operations or sufficient cash flows will occur in the future.
We are working towards raising funds to expand our marketing and revenues.
We have spent considerable time in contracting with several major overseas
corporations for the co-development of enhanced antioxidant beverages for
distribution into the overseas markets. We are working with our Canadian
business associates to identify institutional businesses to market various
disinfection applications based upon functional water, pending government
approval.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to
generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to
obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain
profitable operations. However, there is no assurance that profitable operations
or sufficient cash flows will occur in the future.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and
expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an
ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions provide a basis for us
to make judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from
these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and these differences
may be material.
We recognize revenue when all four of the following criteria are met: (i)
persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery of the products
and/or services has occurred; (iii) the selling price is both fixed and
determinable and; (iv) collectibility is reasonably probable. Our revenues are
derived from sales of our industrial, environmental and residential systems
which alter the properties of water to produce functional water. We believe
that this critical accounting policy affects our more significant judgments and
estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
During the period from March 14, 2000 through November 15, 2002, prior to
our acquisition of Proton Laboratories LLC in November 2002, we did not engage
in significant operations other than organizational activities, acquisition of
the rights to market the products of Vitamineralherb.com, the preparation for
registration of our securities under the Securities Act and capital raising. No
revenues were received by us during that period. However, Vitamineralherb.com
has ceased operating a Web site which makes it unlikely that we will ever do any
business with Vitamineralherb.com.
We operate through our own name, Proton Laboratories, Inc. and through the
name of our wholly-owned subsidiary Water Science, Inc. In November 2002, we
acquired Proton Laboratories, LLC, which is active in the functional water
business. This acquisition was reported in detail on our Form 8-K for the event
dated November 15, 2002 as filed with the Commission on November 25, 2002.
Proton Laboratories, LLC is now know as Water Science, Inc., our wholly-owned
subsidiary. Since our acquisition of Proton Laboratories LLC in November 2002,
our business has been focused on marketing functional water equipment and
systems. Alkaline-concentrated functional water may have health-beneficial
properties and may be used for drinking and cooking purposes.
Acidic-concentrated functional water may be used as a topical, astringent
medium.
Our fiscal year end is December 31.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-Quarter ended March 31, 2004 and 2003.
We had revenue of $76,020 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, compared
to revenue of $63,726 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
We had a net loss of $39,053 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, compared
to a net loss of $40,091 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
Net cash used by operating activities was $115,432 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2004, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $387 for
the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
We are currently seeking funds to expand our marketing and revenues. We
have spent considerable time in contracting with several major overseas
corporations for the co-development of enhanced antioxidant beverages for
distribution into the overseas markets. We are working with Canadian business
associates to identify institutional businesses to market various disinfection
applications based upon functional water, pending government approval. Our
business is focused on marketing functional water equipment and systems.
Alkaline-concentrated functional water may have health-beneficial properties and
may be used for drinking and cooking purposes. Acidic-concentrated functional
water may be used as a topical, astringent medium.
LIQUIDITY
As of March 31, 2004, we had cash on hand of $8,180. Our growth is
dependent on attaining profit from our operations, or our raising additional
capital either through the sale of stock or borrowing. There is no assurance
that we will be able to raise any equity financing or sell any our products at a
profit.
During the year ended December 31, 2003, our president advanced to us the
amount of $84,000 in cash. This advance accrues interest at the rate of 7% per
annum and is due in November 2005.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, our president advanced to us the
amount of $125,000 in cash. This advance accrues interest at the rate of 7% per
annum and is due in November 2005.
FUTURE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
Our growth is dependent on attaining profit from our operations, or our
raising additional capital either through the sale of stock or borrowing. There
is no assurance that we will be able to raise any equity financing or sell any
of our products at a profit.
Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including
the following:
- The cost to acquire equipment to resell.
- The cost of sales and marketing our products.
- The rate at which we expand our operations.
- The results of our consulting business.
- The response of competitors.
OUR CUSTOMERS AND VENDORS
Major Customer. During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, sales to our
biggest customer accounted for 17% of our total sales during the quarter. As of
March 31, 2004, this customer owed us $9,698. While the loss of this customer
might have an adverse impact on us, our next five biggest customers each
represented between 5% and 14% of sales during the quarter.
Major Vendor. During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, our inventory
purchases from our biggest vendor accounted for 91% of our total inventory
purchases during the quarter. As of March 31, 2004, we did not owe any money to
this vendor.
Related Party Transaction
During the three months ended March 31, 2004, Edward Alexander, our
president and majority shareholder, advanced us the amount of $125,000. At
March 31, 2004 the balance of loans to us by Mr. Alexander was $209,000. At
December 31, 2003, the balance of loans to us by Mr. Alexander $84,000. These
advances bear interest at 7% with principal and accrued interest due November
2005. At March 31, 2004, , the accrued interest was $2,570. At December 31,
2003, the accrued interest was $735.
During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we accrued $15,000 as
salaries payable to Mr. Alexander resulting in an aggregate of $30,000 of
salaries payable to Mr. Alexander at March 31, 2004. During the three months
ended March 31, 2003, Mr. Alexander did not receive or accrue any amounts
related to his salary. The Company determined that the fair value of these
services was $15,000. Thus the Company recorded a salary expense and
contributed capital for the fair value of the president's services.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Based on their evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "Exchange Act")), the Company's principal executive officer and
principal financial officer have concluded that as of the end of the period
covered by this annual report on Form 10-QSB such disclosure controls and
procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
During the quarter under report, there was no change in the Company's
internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over
financial reporting.
