NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Xpention
Genetics, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-QSB and Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. These financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes
included thereto for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, for Xpention Genetics,
Inc. on Form 10KSB, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the periods shown.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires 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
that effect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Organization
Xpention Genetics, Inc. (the "Company") is a Nevada corporation that resulted
from the business combination between Xpention, Inc. and Bayview Corporation
that occurred in March, 2005. For accounting purposes, the date of inception for
the Company is October 13, 2004, the date that Xpention, Inc. was incorporated.
The Company has been in the development stage since its formation and has not
yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is engaged in the
biotechnology industry to develop both immunological and molecular tests for
cancer detection in animals and humans as well as therapeutic vaccines and other
treatment methods for both canine and human cancers. The Company has chosen May
31st as its fiscal year-end.
Basis of Presentation
Xpention Genetics, Inc. represents the result of a merger between Bayview
Corporation ("Bayview"), a public company, and Xpention, Inc., a private
company. During March 2005, Bayview issued 14,300,000 shares of its common stock
to the sole shareholder of Xpention, Inc. in exchange for all of the issued and
outstanding common shares of Xpention, Inc. pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the "Merger"). In addition, concurrent with the exchange of
shares, Bayview changed its name to Xpention Genetics, Inc.
For accounting purposes, this acquisition of Xpention, Inc. by Bayview, a
non-operating entity, represents a reverse acquisition under which Xpention,
Inc. is recognized as the accounting acquirer. In substance, the Merger was
recorded as a capital transaction by the issuance of 42,542,500 shares of common
F-4

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
stock by the Company for all of the issued and outstanding common shares of
Bayview. No goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded and the historical
financial statements as of and prior to the acquisition date represent the
operations of Xpention, Inc.
Xpention, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) was incorporated in
the State of Colorado on October 13, 2004. Since its inception, Xpention, Inc.
has participated in the biotechnology industry to develop both immunological and
molecular tests for cancer detection in animals and humans as well as
therapeutic vaccines and other treatment methods for both canine and human
cancers.
Bayview was incorporated in the State of Nevada, on September 5, 2002. From
inception until February 28, 2005, Bayview was primarily engaged in the
acquisition and exploration of mining properties, but had ceased operations by
February 28, 2005. As of the date of the Merger, Bayview had no assets and no
operations and has been treated as the acquired company for accounting purposes.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Xpention, Inc. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
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 amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. On a periodic basis, management reviews those estimates, including
those related to allowances for doubtful accounts, loss contingencies for
litigation, income taxes, and projection of future cash flows used to assess the
recoverability of long-lived assets.
Development Stage Company
The Company presents its financial statements in conformity with the accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America that apply to
enterprises that are establishing their operations. As a development stage
enterprise, the Company must utilize accounting principles consistent with those
required of an established enterprise, and, in addition, discloses the deficit
accumulated during the development stage and the cumulative statements of
operations and cash flows from commencement of development stage to the current
balance sheet date.

Net (Loss) Per Common Share
The Company follows SFAS 128, "Earnings Per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per
common share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings (loss) per common share calculations are determined by dividing
net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive
common share equivalents outstanding. During the periods when they are
anti-dilutive, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered in the
computation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("SFAS 159"). Under this standard, an
entity is required to provide additional information that will assist investors
and other users of financial information to more easily understand the effect of
the company's choice to use fair value on its earnings. Further, the entity is
required to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the
company has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. This
standard does not eliminate the disclosure requirements about fair value
measurements included in SFAS 157 and SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS
159 and has not yet determined the impact on its financial statements.
In December 2007 the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business
Combinations ("SFAS 141R"). This statement replaces SFAS 141, Business
Combinations. The statement provides guidance for how the acquirer recognizes
and measures the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any
non-controlling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141R provides for how the
acquirer recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business
combination or a gain from a bargain purchase. The statement determines what
information to disclose to enable users to be able to evaluate the nature and
financial effects of the business combination. The provisions of SFAS 141R are
effective as of January 1, 2009 and do not allow early adoption. Management is
currently evaluating the impact of adopting this statement.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements (SFAS 160), which becomes effective on January
1, 2009. This standard establishes accounting and reporting standards for
ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the
amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the
noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent's ownership interest and the
valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is
deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that
provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the
interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners.
Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this statement.
There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued during
2007 and 2006, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on the
Company's financial position, operations or cash flows.

NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern.
The Company is in its development stage and has not yet generated revenues from
operations. It has experienced losses from operations as a result of its
investment necessary to achieve its operating plan, which is long-range in
nature. For the nine months ended February 29, 2008, the Company incurred a net
loss of $273,067, and has incurred a cumulative net loss since inception of
$1,611,742. At February 29, 2008, the Company had a working capital and
stockholders' (deficit) of $(630,642). These conditions raise substantial doubt
about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Management does not believe that the Company's current capital resources will be
sufficient to fund its operating activity and other capital resource demands
during fiscal year 2008. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is
contingent upon its ability to obtain capital through the sale of equity or
issuance of debt, joint venture or sale of its assets, and ultimately attaining
profitable operations.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible
future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts
and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of
the Company to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3. NOTES PAYABLE, RELATED PARTY
In November 2004, an unrelated third party lent the Company $100,000 to pay
operating expenses pursuant to a note. This note was originally due on the
earlier of (i) the Company successfully receiving financing in excess of
$1,000,000; or (ii) November 12, 2005. The due date was subsequently extended to
December 31, 2006.
During 2006, the note was acquired by The Regency Group, LLC ("Regency Group")
and additional funds totaling $8,000 were advanced under the terms of a bridge
loan payable on October 9, 2007 or an earlier date if financing of $500,000 was
obtained. Certain owners of Regency Group are also stockholders of the Company.
In October 2007, additional funds totaling $5,600 were advanced to the Company
by Regency Group under the terms of a convertible bridge loan. As additional
consideration, the terms of the two earlier borrowings were modified to coincide
with the terms and conditions of the new borrowing. The loan was originally
payable on December 1, 2007 or an earlier date if financing of $1,000,000 was
obtained. The due dates of all the notes payable to Regency Group were
subsequently extended to January 31, 2008 and then again to April 30, 2008. In
connection with the extension of the due dates, all of the loans were amended to
include conversion terms that allow the loans to be converted into common stock
of the Company at a rate of $0.0035 per share.
The Company is required to recognize the value of conversion rights attached to
the notes payable. These rights give the holders the ability to convert the
notes payable into shares of common stock at a price less than the quoted market

value of the common stock. For accounting purposes, the Company allocated
$113,600 to the value of the beneficial conversion feature based on its
intrinsic value and recorded that amount as a debt discount and an addition to
paid in capital. The debt discount must be recorded as interest expense at the
date the conversion feature became effective. Accordingly, the Company recorded
$113,600 of interest expense related to the beneficial conversion feature during
the nine months ended February 29, 2008.
Interest on all notes accrues at the rate of 5% per annum and aggregated $4,157
during the nine months ended February 29, 2008.
NOTE 4. CONVERTIBLE DEBT
Effective January 5, 2007, the Company issued convertible debentures in the
aggregate principal amount of $30,000. The debentures bear interest at 8% per
annum and were originally due on January 5, 2008. The due date was extended to
April 30, 2008. The debenture holders may convert the principal and accrued
interest into the Company's common stock at a rate of $0.01 per share. The
Regency Group, an entity affiliated through common ownership interests, holds
$15,000 of the convertible debt.
In accordance with EITFs No. 98-5 and No. 00-27, the Company is required to
recognize the value of conversion rights attached to the convertible debentures.
These rights give the holders the ability to convert the convertible debentures
into shares of common stock at a price of $0.01 per share, which was less than
the quoted market value of the common stock on January 5, 2007 of $0.017 per
share. For accounting purposes, the Company allocated $21,000 to the value of
the beneficial conversion feature based on its intrinsic value and recorded that
amount as a debt discount and an addition to paid in capital. The debt discount
has been amortized as interest expense over the one year life of the debentures.
During the nine months ended February 29, 2008, the Company recorded $12,600 of
amortization expense related to the debentures.
At February 29, 2008, the balance of these convertible debentures is as follows:
Convertible debt, principal amount $ 30,000
Less debt discount (21,000)
----------
Subtotal 9,000
Accumulated amortization 21,000

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. We use words such as anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future,
intend and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. You
should not place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our
actual results are likely to differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced by us
described in the Risk Factors section included in our Annual Report on Form
10-KSB.
Plan of Operation
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, holds the exclusive worldwide
license for patented technology for the detection of cancer based on a tumor
marker known as "p65" which has been demonstrated to have elevated levels in the
blood of canine and human cancer conditions. The tumor marker "p65" is believed
to be a protein required in the early development of numerous cancers and
appears from early research to provide a strong indication of tumor growth in
both canines and humans. It also appears to have a direct correlation to tumor
size/mass making it a promising marker for both early detection of malignant
tumor formation as well as a useful tool for monitoring therapy and remission.
Initially, the Company plans to develop an immunological test as well as a
molecular assay for detection of cancer in canines. The Company also plans to
develop both immunological and molecular tests for detection of human cancers as
well as therapeutic treatments and vaccines.
The Company contracts with third party research organizations to conduct its
research activities. During June 2007, the Company entered into an Assay
Revalidation / Redevelopment Proposal with Future Focus, an independent testing
organization. The project calls for third party validation of the research
results presented in the final report from the University of Texas Health
Science Center at San Antonio ("UTHSCSA") and technology transfer of the current
assay plus assay reformatting and sample analysis. On August 15, 2007, the
Company announced that the researchers had been unable to replicate the results
obtained at UTHSCSA, as anticipated.
As a result of the initial results, the Company is reviewing its planned
research activities for the development of an immunological canine cancer
detection test. The Company also continues to evaluate various options for
commercialization of its products; however, it is not anticipated the Company
will generate any revenues from commercialization of its technology during the
next twelve months.
Management does not believe that the Company's current capital resources will be
sufficient to fund its operating activity and other capital resource demands
during fiscal year 2008. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is
contingent upon its ability to obtain capital through the sale of equity or
issuance of debt, joint venture or sale of its assets, and ultimately attaining
profitable operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to
complete any one of these activities.
3
The Company is presently seeking additional debt and equity financing to provide
sufficient funds for payment of amounts due under research contracts as well as
accrued but unpaid professional fees and administrative expenses and to fund
ongoing research and operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have never received revenue from our operations. We have historically relied
on equity and debt financings to fund our capital resource requirements. We have
experienced net losses since inception. We do not believe that we are a
candidate for conventional debt financing and we have not made arrangements to
borrow funds under a working capital line of credit. We will be dependent on
additional financing to continue our research and development efforts.
The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial
statements at May 31, 2007 contains a qualification about our ability to
continue as a going concern. This qualification is based on our lack of
operating revenue and limited working capital, among other things. We remain
dependent on receipt of capital from outside sources, and ultimately, generating
revenue from operations, to continue as a going concern.
All of our investment in research and development activities has been expensed,
and does not appear as an asset on our balance sheet. From inception to February
29, 2008, we have spent $937,601 on our research and development efforts to
commercialize the "p65" technology.
As of February 29, 2008, our working capital deficit of $(630,642) was comprised
of current assets of $4,918 and current liabilities of $635,560. This represents
a decrease in working capital of $159,467 compared to the deficit of $(471,175)
at fiscal year end May 31, 2007.
All of our capital resources to date have been provided through the sale of our
equity securities, proceeds from notes payable and convertible debentures, and
advances from stockholders. From inception to February 29, 2008, we received
$475,100 in cash through issuance of our common stock. Since we have not
generated any cash from operations, we have relied on sale of equity and
borrowings to fund all of our capital needs.
The Company's ability to pay its accounts payable and accrued expenses and repay
its borrowings is dependent upon receipt of new funding from related parties,
private placements or debt financing. Certain related parties have periodically
advanced funds to us to meet our working capital needs. The related parties are
under no obligation to continue these advances. During the nine months ended
February 29, 2008, the related parties advanced $15,000 to us. These funds are
due on demand and do not accrue interest.
Net cash used in operating activities was $45,170 during the nine months ended
February 29, 2008, compared to $61,303 during the corresponding period of the
prior fiscal year. Historically, we have reported significant fluctuations in
cash usage, as the timing of our cash payments is typically dependant upon cash
provided by financing activities.
4
Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended February
29, 2008, was $20,600, compared to $48,000 during the comparable period of the
prior fiscal year. We received advances of $15,000 from stockholders during the
nine months ended February 29, 2008, as compared to $10,000 during the nine
months ended February 28, 2007. In addition, we received proceeds of $5,600 from
a convertible bridge loan from The Regency Group LLC, a related party, during
the nine months ended February 29, 2008. In the comparable period in 2007, we
received proceeds of $8,000 from The Regency Group, LLC. During the nine months
ended February 28, 2007, we received proceeds of $30,000 from convertible debt.
There was no corresponding transaction during the nine months ended February 29,
2008.
During the nine months ended February 29, 2008, we modified the terms and
conditions of previous borrowings from The Regency Group LLC. All of the bridge
loans from The Regency Group LLC were payable on December 1, 2007, or an earlier
date if financing of $1,000,000 is obtained. The borrowings are convertible into
common stock of the Company at a rate of $0.0035 per share. The due dates of the
borrowings were extended to the earlier of April 30, 2008, or the date on which
financing of at least $1,000,000 is obtained.
Results of Operations - Three Months Ended February 29, 2008 Compared to the
Three Months Ended February 28, 2007
We are considered a development stage company for accounting purposes, since we
have not received any revenues from operations. We are unable to predict with
any degree of accuracy when that situation will change. We expect to incur
losses until such time, if ever, as we begin generating revenue from operations.
For the three months ended February 29, 2008, we recorded a net loss of $37,709
compared to a loss for the corresponding period of 2007 of $34,777, an increase
of $2,932. During both periods, the loss per share was less than $0.01.
General and administrative expenses increased to $33,610 for the three months
ended February 29, 2008 compared to $27,165 during the same period of 2007. The
increase of $6,445 was primarily caused by a timing difference in the
recognition of expense for directors and officers insurance premiums. While we
do not expect a significant change in insurance premiums for the year,
additional expenses of $4,781 were allocated to the 2008 quarterly period
compared to the 2007 quarterly period. There were no material changes in any
other general or administrative expenses, which continue to consist primarily of
the accrual for compensation costs, professional fees associated with our status
as a public company, and the premium costs of D&O insurance.
Results of Operations - Nine Months Ended February 29, 2008 Compared to the Nine
Months Ended February 28, 2007
We are considered a development stage company for accounting purposes, since we
have not received any revenues from operations. We are unable to predict with
any degree of accuracy when that situation will change. We expect to incur
losses until such time, if ever, as we begin generating revenue from operations.

For the nine months ended February 29, 2008, we recorded a net loss of $273,067
compared to a loss for the corresponding period of 2007 of $136,086, a
difference of $136,981. During both periods, the loss per share was less than
$0.01. During the nine months ended February 29, 2008, we restructured our debt
such that we recognized additional interest expense, as discussed above.
Research and development costs increased to $28,065 during the nine months ended
February 29, 2008, compared to $3,285 incurred during the nine months ended
February 28, 2007. The increase of $24,780 represents third party testing costs
incurred to validate the results of the research report from UTHSCSA. Our use of
third party research and testing partners can result in significant variations
in the expenses reported in each quarterly period.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $112,845 for the nine months
ended February 29, 2008, compared to $125,440 during the corresponding period of
2007. The overall decrease of $12,595 includes small decreases in multiple
expenses, none of which are expected to represent a material change in expenses
for the year. The largest decrease was caused by a timing difference in the
recognition of expense for directors and officers insurance premiums. We expect
that timing difference to reverse during the fourth quarter. The primary
components of general and administrative expense are costs accrued for
compensation, professional fees associated with our status as a public company,
and the premium costs of D&O insurance.
Interest expense, including the amortization of debt discount, increased to
$132,157 for the nine months ended February 29, 2008 compared to $7,361 for the
comparable period in the prior year. The increase of $124,796 includes the
amortization of debt discount of $126,200 related to the beneficial conversion
feature included in the restructuring of the convertible debentures and
convertible notes payable. In the debt restructuring, we granted conversion
rights at $0.0035 per share. For accounting purposes, the rights are assigned a
cost and additional interest expense is recorded to recognize that cost. The
calculation assumes that the debt will be converted into common stock and the
cost is our estimate of the value of the additional common stock to be issued.
As the additional costs are a non-cash item, they do not impact our liquidity.
