NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
NOTE1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Scio Diamond Technology Corporation (the “Company”) 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 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.
On July 13, 2011 the Board of Directors of the Scio Diamond Technology Corporation, a Nevada Corporation (the “Company”), (formerly Krossbow Holding Corporation) 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 will be exchanged for two (2) new shares of the Company's common stock, to become effective on August 5, 2011. As a result, once the forward split is declared effective by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the issued and outstanding shares of common stock will increase 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.
GOING CONCERN
The Company has not generated any 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 September 30, 2011 the Company has accumulated losses of $318,464.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of asset 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.
Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The results for the interim period are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. The interim results for the six months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.
ACCOUNTING BASIS
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting). The Company has adopted a March 31 fiscal year end.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and notes payable approximate their fair value due to the short period of these instruments.
DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to development-stage companies. A development-stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company will recognize revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.
INCOME TAXES
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recognized, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.
Any deferred tax asset is considered immaterial and has been fully offset by a valuation allowance because at this time the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the future tax benefit will not be realized as the Company has no current operations.
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each reporting period. The Company does not have any potentially dilutive instruments.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and 123 (R) (ASC 718). To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.
As of September 30, 2011, the Company has not issued any stock-based payments to its employees.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) entitled "Subsequent Events". Companies are now required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated by management. Public entities (as defined) must conduct the evaluation as of the date the financial statements are issued, and provide disclosure that such date was used for this evaluation. SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) provides that financial statements are considered "issued" when they are widely distributed for general use and reliance in a form and format that complies with GAAP. SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and must be applied prospectively
June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. ("SFAS 168" or ASC 105-10) SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) establishes the Codification as the sole source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by all nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) was prospectively effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending on or after September 15, 2009 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) on July 1, 2009 did not impact the Company's results of operations or financial condition. The Codification did not change GAAP, however, it did change the way GAAP is organized
and presented.)
As a result, these changes impact how companies reference GAAP in their financial statements and in their significant accounting policies. The Company implemented the Codification in this Report by providing references to the Codification topics alongside references to the corresponding standards.
With the exception of the pronouncements noted above, no other accounting standards or interpretations issued or recently adopted are expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, operations or cash flows.
NOTE 2 – ASSET PURCHASE
On August 31, 2011 the Company completed a purchase of certain assets from ADI. The assets included certain Intellectual Property, Diamond Growers and Related Equipment. The purchase price was $2,000,000 and secured by a note.
The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired at the acquisition date:
Property, Plant and Equipment |
$1,750,000 |
Patents |
250,000 |
|
|
Total identifiable Assets Acquired |
$2,000,000 |
The purchase price allocation is preliminary. The preliminary estimates of fair values recorded are determined by management on various market and asset appraisals. The final determination of the purchase price will be based on fair values of the assets acquired. The purchase price allocation will remain preliminary until the Company completes a third-party valuation and determines the fair value of the assets acquired. The final amounts allocated to the assets acquired could differ significantly from the preliminary recorded amounts.
NOTE 3 - NOTE PAYABLE
On August 31, 2011, the Company executed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Apollo Diamond, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company shall pay $1,000,000 as stipulated between the Parties and a $1,000,000 promissory note bearing interest at 4.00% annually and due and owing in full on September 1, 2012 in consideration for ADI’s Diamond Growing Machines and Intellectual Property related thereto.
On August 3, 2011 the Company entered into a Loan Agreement in the amount of $250,000 for services rendered. This promissory note bears interest of 6% annually and is due and owing in full on February 2, 2012 in the amount of $257,500 including interest of $7,500.
NOTE 4 - CAPITAL STOCK

NOTE 5 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to June 30, 2011 to July 5, 2011, the date these financial statements were issued, and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements made in this Form 10-Q that are not historical or current facts are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements often can be identified by the use of terms such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "approximate" or "continue," or the negative thereof. We intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors for such statements. We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Any forward-looking statements represent
management's best judgment as to what may occur in the future. However, forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and important factors beyond our control that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from historical results of operations and events and those presently anticipated or projected. We disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statement or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
At September 30, 2011, our current assets were $545,400 and our total liabilities were $1,408,800, which resulted in a working capital deficit of ($863,400). At September 30, 2011, current assets were comprised of $545,400 in cash and current liabilities were comprised of $1,377,500 in short-term notes payable and $31,300 in accounts payable. Stockholders' deficit increased from a deficit of ($11,057) for fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 to ($863,400) at September 30, 2011.
CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES
We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. For the six-month period ended September 30, 2011, net cash flows used in operating activities was ($9,597) consisting primarily of a net loss of ($281,407) and increase in accrued expenses $271,810. Net cash flows used in operating activities was ($25,905) and ($34,664) for the six months ended September 30, 2010 and the period from inception (September 17, 2009) to September 30, 2011, respectively.
CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES
We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. For the six-month period ended September 30, 2011, net cash flows used in operating activities was ($9,597) consisting primarily of a net loss of ($281,407) and increase in accrued expenses $271,810. Net cash flows used in operating activities was ($25,905) and ($34,664) for the six months ended September 30, 2010 and the period from inception (September 17, 2009) to September 30, 2011, respectively.
CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES
For the six-month period ended September 30, 2011, net cash flows used in investing activities was ($2,000,000) consisting solely of purchasing the assets of Apollo Diamond Inc. Net cash flows used in investing activities was $0 and ($2,000,000) for the six-months ended September 30, 2010 and the period from inception (September 17, 2009) to September 30, 2011, respectively.
CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES
We have financed our operations primarily from either advancements or the issuance of equity and debt instruments. For the six-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, we generated $2,554,064 and $2,000 cash from financing activities. For the period from inception (September 17, 2009) to September 30, 2011, net cash provided by financing activities was $2,580,064 consisting primarily from sale of common stock.
PLAN OF OPERATION AND FUNDING
We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a combination of our existing funds and further issuances of securities. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business.
Existing working capital, further advances and debt instruments, and anticipated cash flow are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next three months. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the private placement of equity and debt instruments. In connection with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) acquisition of inventory; (ii) developmental expenses associated with a start-up business; and (iii) marketing expenses. We intend to finance these expenses with further
issuances of securities, and debt issuances. Thereafter, we expect we will need to raise additional capital and generate revenues to meet long-term operating requirements. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, 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.

QUARTERLY EVENTS
On August 31, 2011, Scio Diamond Technology Corporation, a Nevada Corporation (the "Company"), executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with Apollo Diamond, Inc. (“ADI”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company shall pay $1,000,000 as stipulated between the Parties (the “Cash Payment”) and a $1,000,000 promissory note bearing interest at 4.00% annually and due and owing in full on September 1, 2012 (the “Note Payment”) in consideration for ADI’s Diamond Growing Machines and Intellectual Property related thereto
On September 28, 2011 Scio Diamond announced that Scio Diamond will utilize its equipment along with its proven patented technology to grow diamonds in their new facility. These diamonds will be manufactured in the USA, and will be sold to both the Jewelry and the Industrial markets Worldwide. Scio's focus is in maximizing production capabilities to generate revenue in both the industrial products division and consumer gemstone division. This will help provide
the Company with long term growth potential within multiple business sectors. Our lab-grown stones provide key benefits to industrial products that natural stones just cannot compete with. Scio will have an ability to deliver high-grade diamonds, precisely built for specific uses.
Each of Scio Diamond's machines can produce a little less than 1,000 carats per year.The company also plans to laser inscribe the stones. Scio's machines have produced up to 2 ct. stones, however, the sweet spot will be half-carat to three-quarter-carat stones at this time.
The company plans to begin wholesaling gemstones from its new home base manufacturing facility to be located in South Carolina to the jewelry market in summer 2012.
On October 3, 2011 Scio Diamond announced that the Editorial Board of Standard and Poor's ("S&P") has approved Scio Diamond Technology Corporation for their Corporation Records Market Access Program. Standard & Poor's Corporation Records is considered the premier source for information on U.S. and international public companies by investors and compliance professionals. As part of the approval, SCIO's corporate profile has recently been published in the Daily News Section of S&P's Corporation Records, a recognized securities manual for secondary trading
in 38 States under the Blue Sky Laws.
Now that Scio has met the state-level "Blue Sky" statutes, its securities can be recommended to investors in those jurisdictions. Through Standard and Poor's program, Scio's company information, including its business operations, share price, dividend history, shares outstanding, financial position, and earnings, will be broadly disseminated through S&P's MarketScope, Advisor Insight and Stock Guide Database distribution channels."
On October 5, 2011 the Company announced commitment to advancing its Patented Diamond Technology in the Healthcare Industry by shifting its Surgical Blade Project from R&D to now presenting its technology for future sales in medical devices. Scio Diamond will now begin to explore, identify, and provide diamond products to potential customers who will customize the diamonds to meet the needs of their device products specifically for the medical industry.
Scio Diamond grows real diamonds in the labs with patented technology, and have the ability to not only produce high grade gemstone products for the jewelry market, but also develop products to client specification for industries such as the medical industry."
According to our research, diamond is the only substance known that can maintain a cold-contact surface while effectively transmitting laser energy. The density of its molecular structure permits it to sharpen to an astonishingly fine edge of 25 Nanometer. The diamond blade, which is forty times (40x) sharper than a traditional steel scalpel and durable enough to last up to 200 full surgical procedures, offers surgeons the ability to operate cost-effectively with great precision and improved surgical outcomes. Clinical studies have shown that when the Diamond Laser Surgical System is used, surgery time is significantly reduced and wounds heal faster and with less
exuberance and discomfort due to reduced swelling and bruising. The Scio Diamond Blade product, which will be ready for market will initially benefit Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery, Dermatology, ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat), Neurosurgery, Pediatric Surgery, and Orthopedic Surgery.
The company will initially target approximately 33,000 office-based surgery practices in the US that perform cosmetic surgery as well as expand to other emerging markets worldwide.
On October 19, 2011 Scio Diamond introduced cultivated laboratory diamonds. SCIO Diamonds are an important component of the diamond jewelry market. In the technology area, we anticipate that diamonds will become the optimal operating system platform for future technology applications and as an industrial material will become the wear resistant material of choice. The
diamond jewel market is already at $70B with demand growing dramatically over the next five years, without the natural resources to support it. We hold 13 patents and have over 40 pending regarding our technology. Our diamond has been rated by renowned gemologist as having all the characteristics inherent to a natural diamond. Therefore, it is diamond.
The SCIO Diamond Difference The uniqueness of the Scio Diamond lies in our superior technology for growing the highest quality diamond, in mass quantities, at lower production costs and with lower capital intensity. Scio Diamond stones share identical optical, chemical, and physical properties of natural diamonds. They have the same brilliance, luster, hardness, and toughness. Diamond testing confirms these are real diamonds. A full grading certificate is available for stones. This certificate is issued by an authoritative, independent Gemological Lab, GSI (Gemological Science International New York). The certificate confirms the weight, cut, clarity, color, symmetry
as well as the polish quality of the diamond. These attributes will allow the long awaited use of diamond in critical industrial uses, such as semiconductor, water purification, medical devices and laser technology to name a few. Our focused R&D efforts in these fields, coupled with strategic partnerships, within these industries, government and higher education will, in a reasonably short time period, allow these usages to become a reality at acceptable commercial and quality levels.
The SCIO Process We employ a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process to produce high quality single crystal diamond in a controlled environment. SCIO Diamond has industrialized this process. Our Diamond Technology production process is scalable to the quality and quantity based on demand. It allows for concurrent production of multiple diamond crystals. Most importantly, unlike the linear technology production augmentation processes that increase capital and operational costs, our processes decrease costs with increased production.
Industrial Applications
The Company believes a number of previously identified "critical market needs" will translate into $1 billion-plus market opportunities for our materials. In addition to the existing opportunity for our cultivated diamond gemstones, development of various prototype technology devices has already begun and it is expected that high volume introduction in technology applications will occur during the next two to five years.
Some examples of current development projects utilizing the Company's diamond materials: Lasers,Quantum Communication and Computing and High-Voltage Power Switching
Water Treatment and Purification
With one of our partners we have created a diamond laser scalpel. The cutting edge is made of diamond giving the scalpel an ability to transfer laser technology to the point of incision, creating an immediate cauterization. Previously we used a .5 carat diamond to give you an idea of production rates for the next couple of years and beyond. In that example we used a 20 day average growing period for 8-24 diamonds. In the case of the laser scalpel, the grow time for the required diamond size and quality is reduced to 4 days allowing 70 plus reactor turns per year. Therefore the yield from one machine is 1500-2000 useable scalpel diamonds.
On October 25, 2011 the Company announced that it retained ICR, LLC, as its investor relations firm. Founded in 1998, ICR is a leading financial communications consulting firm that sets a new standard for financial communications with a business model driven by deep capital markets expertise provided by a team of former Wall Street and corporate professionals, including senior sell-side analysts, portfolio managers and investment bankers. The firm represents approximately 300 corporate clients.
On October 31, 2011 the Company announced plans to establish its new corporate headquarters and manufacturing operations in Greenville County. The new operations are expected to generate 70 new jobs over the next five years. We are pleased to move forward with plans to establish our home here in Greenville County. It was right here that we found the ideal balance of business-friendly climate, access to talent, entrepreneurial drive and exceptional quality of life. We expect that Greenville County will provide us with the perfect mix of ingredients
for success.
Scio is in process of upfitting a 9,300-square-foot section of the NEXT Innovation Center development, at the corner of Church Street and University Ridge, which already houses a variety of entrepreneurial organizations and technology companies. More than 6,000 square feet will be dedicated to a secure manufacturing facility, providing sufficient space for 18 to 20 diamond growing reactors, supporting equipment, plus laser and polishing operations
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.
GOING CONCERN
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
INTEREST RATE
Any future loans will relate mainly to trade payables and will be mainly short-term. However our debt may be likely to rise in connection with expansion and if interest rates were to rise at the same time, this could become a significant impact on our operating and financing activities. We have not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks of for speculative purposes.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2011. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Such officer also confirmed that there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Changes In Internal Control and Financial Reporting
On August 5, 2011, Edward S. Adams and Michael R. Monahan acquired control of two million (2,000,000) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, which at the time, represented approximately 31.25% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding common stock, from Jason Kropp in accordance with a common stock purchase agreement among Mr. Kropp, Mr. Adams and Mr. Monahan (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Mr. Adams and Mr. Monohan paid an aggregate purchase price of one hundred and sixty-five thousand six hundred and fourteen dollars ($165,614) in exchange for the shares.
As part of the acquisition, the following changes to the Company's directors and officers have occurred:
