PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
This summary does not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should read the entire prospectus, including the Risk Factors and our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus before making an investment decision.
 
Our Business
 
We are a Puerto Rico based company established by Elizabeth Plaza in 1997 to offer consulting services to the pharmaceutical industry. We have successfully grown our business operation by providing quality, value-added consulting services to the major pharmaceutical, biotechnology and chemical manufacturing companies principally in Puerto Rico.
 
Our mission is to provide high quality services to the pharmaceutical and related industries to maintain or improve their quality standards and competitive value. We assist our clients in complying with government regulations by offering a full range of consulting services in the areas relating to compliance with the regulations of the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) and matters relating to the introduction of new pharmaceutical products, environmental safety and occupational health, project management, training services and computer systems. We provide validation, regulatory compliance and value-added consulting services as problem solving solutions to its customers in the pharmaceutical, chemical (bulk manufacturing), biotechnology and medical devices industries in Puerto Rico.
 
Our engineering and life science professionals include former quality assurance managers or directors from pharmaceutical companies, and experienced and well-trained professionals with masters and doctorates in health sciences and engineering. Our objective is to offer a flexible, common sense and cost effective approach to meet our clients’ needs, strategies and budget objectives.
 
Prior to its acquisition of Plaza, Lawrence offered consulting and business advisory services to companies to help them provide business solutions for interacting with their customers. In this connection, Lawrence worked with companies to develop business and information technology strategies, technology solutions and integrated marketing programs. As of December 31, 2005, Lawrence had entered into consulting agreements with three clients. We are no longer engaged in this business and we have no continuing obligations under any contracts to which Lawrence is a party.
 
Organization; Merger
 
Plaza Consulting Group, Inc. (“Plaza”) is a Puerto Rico corporation founded in 1997. Pharm-Bio Serv, Inc. is a Delaware corporation, organized in 2004 under the name Lawrence Consulting Group, Inc. The corporate name was changed to Pharma-Bio Serv, Inc. in February 2006. Our executive offices are located at Sardinera Beach Building Suite 2, Marginal Costa de Oro, Dorado, Puerto Rico 00646, (787) 278-2709. Our website is www.pharmaservpr.com. Information on our website or any other website is not part of this prospectus.
 
On January 25, 2006, pursuant to the an agreement and plan of merger among Lawrence, Plaza Acquisition Corp., Plaza, and Elizabeth Plaza, the sole stockholder of Plaza, Plaza Acquisition Corp. was merged into Plaza, with the result that Plaza became our wholly-owned subsidiary and our sole business became the business of Plaza. The acquisition of Plaza is accounted for as a reverse acquisition, with Plaza being the accounting acquiring party. The accounting rules for reverse acquisitions require that beginning with the date of the merger, January 25, 2006, our balance sheet includes the assets and liabilities of Plaza and our equity accounts were recapitalized to reflect the net equity of Pharma-Bio. In addition, our historical operating results will be the operating results of Plaza.
 
Plaza Acquistion Corp. was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary for the purpose of acquiring Plaza. Pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger, Plaza Acquisition Corp. was merged into Plaza and the outstanding stock in Plaza, which was held by Elizabeth Plaza, became converted into:
 
 
·
$10,000,000;
 
 
-3-
 
 
·
1,150,000 shares of common stock; and
 
 
·
deferred payments totaling $8,250,000, payable in three equal installments of $2,750,000 on each of the first three anniversaries of the closing date.
 
The $10,000,000 payment made at closing to Ms. Plaza was funded by the sale of the shares of series A preferred stock and warrants issued in the private placement under “Sale of Securities to the Selling Stockholders.”
 
In connection with the acquisition of Plaza, we entered into employment agreements with Elizabeth Plaza, who was president, chief executive officer and sole stockholder of Plaza, and Nélida Plaza, who was vice president of Plaza, and a consulting agreement with Dov Perlysky, who was the sole director and officer of Lawrence prior to the acquisition of Plaza. See “Management - Employment Agreements” and “Management - Consulting Agreement” for information concerning these agreements.
 
References to “we,” “us,” “our” and similar words refer to Pharma-Bio Serv, commencing with the acquisition of Plaza and the consummation of the private placement which occurred contemporaneously with the acquisition, and, with respect to historical information, these terms refer solely to Plaza.
 
Stock Distribution
 
On January 24, 2006, Pharma-Bio Serv effected a share distribution with respect to our common stock pursuant to which we issued one additional share of common stock for each share of common stock outstanding on the record date, January 24, 2006. All share and per share information in this prospectus retroactively reflects such stock distribution.
 
Sale of Securities to the Selling Stockholders
 
On January 25, 2006, contemporaneously with the consummation of the acquisition of Plaza, we sold, in a private placement, 47 units, each unit consisting of 25,000 shares of series A preferred stock, warrants to purchase 85,100 shares of common stock at $1.10 per share and warrants to purchase 85,100 shares of common stock at $1.65 per share. In the private placement, we issued an aggregate of 1,175,000 shares of series A preferred stock, warrants to purchase 3,999,700 shares of common stock at $1.10 per share, and warrants to purchase 3,999,700 shares of common stock at $1.65 per share, to 42 accredited investors. The warrants issued to the investors in the private placement are sometimes referred to as the “investor warrants”
 
We paid brokerage commissions of 10% of the gross purchase price and an aggregate non-accountable expense allowance of 3% of the gross purchase price with respect to the units sold. In certain cases, the broker waived the commission and non-accountable expense allowance, and the investor paid the purchase price less the commission and non-accountable expense allowance. The purchase price for the 47 units sold was $11,750,000. Broker-dealers waived commission and non-accountable expense allowance with respect to $628,750, we paid commissions and non-accountable expense allowances totaling $898,750, and we issued to the brokers in the private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,439,892 shares of common stock. These warrants, which constitute compensation to the brokers, have an exercise price of $.7344 per share and a term of three years.
 
The certificate of designation setting forth the rights of the holders of the series A preferred stock provides that at such time as our certificate of incorporation is amended to increase the authorized capital stock to 10,000,000 of preferred stock and 50,000,000 shares of common stock, the series A preferred stock is automatically converted into common stock at the conversion ratio of 13.616 shares of common stock for each share of series A preferred stock. The warrants provide that they become exercisable upon the filing of such an amendment to our certificate of incorporation. On April 25, 2006, we amended and restated our certificate of incorporation to increase our authorized capital stock to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 50,000,000 shares of common stock, at which time all of the outstanding shares of series A preferred stock were automatically converted into a total of 15,998,800 shares of common stock and the warrants became exercisable. The subscription agreement pursuant to which the series A preferred stock and warrants were issued required us to file a registration statement within 60 days after the effective date of the merger between Plaza and Plaza
 
-4-

Acquisition Corp., which was January 25, 2006, which was March 26, 2006. If we failed to file the registration statement by that date, we were required to issue .0003 shares of common stock for each share of common stock issued upon conversion of the series A preferred stock for each day we are late. Since we were three days late, we issued 14,401 shares of common stock to the former holders of the series A preferred stock.
 
The warrants issued in the private placement expire five years from the closing date and are callable by us if the closing price of the common stock is at least twice the exercise price of the warrants for twenty (20) consecutive trading days.

Because we were treated as an N Corporation under the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code during the years ended October 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from November 1, 2005 through January 24, 2006, our income was taxed to our stockholder during those periods, and we did not pay income tax. If income tax were paid at the statutory rate, our net income would have been $1,363, or $0.17 per share (basic) and $0.08 per share (diluted), for the nine months ended July 31, 2006; $3,038, or $1.74 per share (basic) and $0.75 per share (diluted), for the nine months ended July 31, 2005; $3,898, or $2.23 per share (basic) and $0.96 per share (diluted), for the year ended October 31, 2005; and $3,503, or $2.00 per share (basic) and $0.87 per share (diluted), for the year ended October 31, 2004.

RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. In determining whether to purchase our securities, you should carefully consider all of the material risks described below, together with the other information contained in this prospectus before making a decision to purchase our securities. You should only purchase our securities if you can afford to suffer the loss of your entire investment.
 
Risks That Relate to our Business
 
Because our business is concentrated in the pharmaceutical industry in Puerto Rico, any changes in that industry could impair our ability to generate business.
 
Since substantially all of our business is performed in Puerto Rico for pharmaceutical, biotechnology and chemical manufacturing companies, our ability to generate revenue and profit would be impaired by such factors as changes in taxes in Puerto Rico, or regulatory, tax or economic conditions which discourage these businesses from operating in Puerto Rico and changes in U.S. government regulations which affect the need for services such as those provided by Plaza.
 
-6-

Because our business is dependent upon a small number of clients, the loss of a major client could impair our ability to operate profitably.
 
Our business has been dependent upon a small number of clients. During the nine months ended July 31, 2006 and the years ended October 31, 2005 and 2004, a very small number of clients accounted for a disproportionately large percentage of our revenue. For the nine months ended July 31, 2006, four customers accounted for approximately 76.3% of revenue. For the year ended October 31, 2005, two of these four customers accounted for approximately 62.2% of revenue, and for the year ended October 31, 2004, these two customers accounted for approximately 64.9% of revenue. The loss of or significant reduction in the scope of work performed for any major customer could impair our ability to operate profitably. The scope of work for our largest customer has declined significantly in the nine months ended July 31, 2006, and we cannot assure we will not sustain significant decreases in revenue from our major customers or that we will be able to replace any decline in revenue. In June 2006, our largest customer announced that it is closing one of its two facilities in Puerto Rico and reducing the personnel level at the second facility. As a result, we expect that our revenue from this client will continue to decline.
 
We may be unable to pass on increased labor cost to our clients.
 
The principal components of our costs of revenue are employee compensation (salaries, wages, taxes and benefits) and expenses relating to the performance of the services. We face increasing labor costs which we seek to pass on to our customers through increases in our rates. We may not be able to pass these cost increases to our clients, and, to the extent that we are not able to pass these increases to our clients, our gross margin will be reduced.
 
Our cash requirements include payments totaling $8.25 million due to Elizabeth Plaza, which may impair our ability to develop our business.
 
Pursuant to the merger agreement, we are required to make three payments, each in the amount of $2.75 million, on January 25, 2007, 2008 and 2009. These payments are not contingent upon our earnings, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization or any other financial criteria. We may not have resources other than our operations from which to make the payments. We cannot assure you that we will have available cash from which we can make these payments and, even if we do have the available cash, our growth may be impaired if we use our cash for that purpose.
 
Because the pharmaceutical industry is subject to government regulations, changes in government regulations relating to this industry may affect the need for our services.
 
Because government regulations affect all aspects of the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and chemical manufacturing industries, including regulations relating to the testing and manufacturing of pharmaceutical products and the disposal of materials which are or may be considered toxic, any change in government regulations could have a profound effect upon not only these companies but companies, such as us, that provide services to these industries. If we are not able to adapt and provide necessary services to meet the requirements of these companies in response to changes in government regulations, our ability to generate business may be impaired.
 
The willingness of companies in the pharmaceutical and related industries to conduct business in Puerto Rico could significantly impair our business by reducing the need for our services.
 
Since our business is presently conducted almost exclusively in Puerto Rico, our ability to generate revenue and income is dependent upon the willingness of our clients and potential clients to maintain or increase their operations in Puerto Rico. Our clients may consider factors such as tax benefits, Puerto Rico’s economy and other economic factors.
 
-7-
 
Changes in tax benefits may affect the willingness of companies to continue or expand their operations in Puerto Rico.
 
Until 1996, the Internal Revenue Code provided certain tax benefits to pharmaceutical companies operating in Puerto Rico by enabling their Puerto Rico operations to operate free from federal income taxes. Partly as a result of the tax benefits, numerous pharmaceutical companies established facilities in Puerto Rico. In 1996, this tax benefit was eliminated, although companies that had facilities in Puerto Rico could continue to receive these benefits for ten years, at which time the benefits expire. Although some tax benefits remain, the change in the tax law may affect the willingness of pharmaceutical companies to continue or to expand their Puerto Rico operations, and we are aware of one pharmaceutical company that has decided to close its Puerto Rico operations as a result of the change in the tax laws. To the extent that pharmaceutical companies choose to develop and manufacture products outside of Puerto Rico, our ability to generate new business may be impaired.
 
Puerto Rico’s economy, including its recent governmental financial crisis, may affect the willingness of businesses to commence or expand operations in Puerto Rico.
 
As a result of Puerto Rico’s recent governmental financial crisis, which resulted in the closing of government offices, businesses may be reluctant to commence or expand their operations in Puerto Rico. Further, since Puerto Rico’s economy is petroleum-based, the high price of oil, combined with Puerto Rico’s high level of debt, may make Puerto Rico a less attractive place to expand existing operations or commence new business activities. To the extent that companies in the pharmaceutical and related industries decide not to commence new operations or contract or not to expand their existing operations in Puerto Rico, the market for our services may decline.
 
Other factors, including economic factors, may affect the decision of businesses to continue or expand their operations in Puerto Rico.
 
Companies in the pharmaceutical and related industries for which we perform service are subject to economic pressures which affect their global operations and which may influence the decision to reduce or increase the scope of their operations in Puerto Rico. These companies consider a wide range of factors in making such a decision, and may be influences by a need to consolidate operations, to reduce expenses, to increase their business in geographical regions where there are large customer bases, to tax, regulatory and political considerations and many other factors. In June 2006, the client that was our largest client in the year ended October 31, 2005 announced that it is significantly reducing the scope of its operations in Puerto Rico by closing one of its two facilities in Puerto Rico and reducing its staff at the remaining facility. As a result, our revenue from this client has significantly declined in the nine months ended July 31, 2006 from the comparable period of 2005, and we anticipate that another major pharmaceutical company may reduce its operations in Puerto Rico. We can not assure you that other customers and potential customers will not make similar or more extensive reductions or terminate their operations in Puerto Rico entirely, which could significantly impair our ability to generate revenue.
 
If we are unable to protect our clients’ intellectual property, our ability to generate business will be impaired.
 
Our services either require us to develop intellectual property for clients or provide our personnel with access to our clients’ intellectual property. Because of the highly competitive nature of the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and chemical manufacturing industries and the sensitivity of our clients’ intellectual property rights, our ability to generate business would be impaired if we fail to protect those rights. Although all of our employees are required to sign non-disclosure agreements, any disclosure of a client’s intellectual property by an employee may subject us to litigation and may impair our ability to generate business either from the affected client or other potential clients.
 
 
We may be subject to liability if our services or solutions for our clients infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others.
 
It is possible that in performing services for our clients, we may inadvertently infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others. In such event, the owner of the intellectual property may commence
 
-8-

litigation seeking damages and an injunction against both us and our client, and the client may bring a claim against us. Any infringement litigation would be costly, regardless of whether we ultimately prevail. Even if we prevail, we will incur significant expenses and our reputation would be hurt, which would affect our ability to generate business and the terms on which we would be engaged, if at all.
 
We may be held liable for the actions of our employees when on assignment.
 
We may be exposed to liability for actions taken by our employees while on assignment, such as damages caused by their errors, misuse of client proprietary information or theft of client property. Due to the nature of our assignments, we cannot assure you that we will not be exposed to liability as a result of our employees being on assignment.
 
To the extent that we perform services pursuant to fixed-price or incentive-based contracts, our cost of services may exceed our revenue on the contract.
 
Some of our revenue is derived from fixed price contracts. Our costs of services may exceed revenue of these contracts if we do not accurately estimate the time and complexity of an engagement. Further, we are seeking contracts by which our compensation is based on specified performance objectives, such as the realization of cost savings or specified performance objectives. Our failure to achieve these objectives would reduce our revenue and could impair our ability to operate profitable.
 
Our profit margin is largely a function of the rates we are able to recover for our services and the utilization rate of our professionals. Accordingly, if we are not able to maintain our pricing for our services or an appropriate utilization rate for our professionals without corresponding cost reductions, our profit margin and profitability will suffer. The rates we are able to recover for our services are affected by a number of factors, including:
 
 
·
Our clients’ perception of our ability to add value through our services;
 
 
·
Our ability to complete projects on time;
 
 
·
Pricing policies of competitors;
 
 
·
Our ability to accurately estimate, attain and sustain engagement revenues, margins and cash flows over increasingly longer contract periods; and
 
 
·
General economic and political conditions.
 
Our utilization rates are also affected by a number of factors, including:
 
 
·
Seasonal trends, primarily as a result of our hiring cycle;
 
 
·
Our ability to move employees from completed projects to new engagements; and
 
 
·
Our ability to manage attrition of our employees.
 
Because most of our contracts may be terminated on little or no advance notice, our failure to generate new business could impair our ability to operate profitably.
 
Our contracts can be terminated by our clients with short notice. Our clients typically retain us on a non-exclusive, engagement-by-engagement basis, and the client may terminate, cancel or delay any engagement or the project for which we are engaged, at any time and on short notice. As a result, we need to develop new business on an ongoing basis. Since our operations are generally limited to companies operating in Puerto Rico and, to a lesser extent, Puerto Rico businesses that operate elsewhere, the termination, cancellation, expiration or delay of contracts could have a significant impact on our ability to operate profitable.
 
-9-

Because of the competitive nature of the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and chemical manufacturing consulting market, we may not be able to compete effectively if we cannot efficiently respond to changes in the structure of the market and developments in technology.
 
Because of recent consolidations in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and chemical manufacturing consulting business, we are faced with an increasing number of larger companies that offer a wider range of services and have better access to capital than we have. We believe that larger and better-capitalized competitors have enhanced abilities to compete for both clients and skilled professionals. In addition, one or more of our competitors may develop and implement methodologies that result in superior productivity and price reductions without adversely affecting their profit margins. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete effectively in an increasingly competitive market.
 
Because we are dependent upon our management, our ability to develop our business may be impaired if we are not able to engage skilled personnel.
 
Our success to date has depended in large part on the skills and efforts of Elizabeth Plaza, our president, chief executive officer and founder. The loss of the services of Ms. Plaza could have a material adverse effect on the development and success of our business. Although we entered into a three-year contract with Ms. Plaza, the agreement only requires her to continue as an employee for 18 months and as a consultant for the remaining 18 months, and it does not guarantee that she will continue to be employed by us. During the term of her employment, we will have to identify and hire a person to serve as president and chief executive officer upon Ms. Plaza’s retirement. Our failure to hire a qualified person in a timely manner will impair our ability to grow. In addition, because of the highly technical nature of the work that we perform for our clients in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and chemical manufacturing industries, we need to hire highly skilled personnel who are familiar with the needs of these companies in order to perform the services which we provide. Our future success will depend in part upon our ability to attract and retain additional qualified management and technical personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense and we compete for qualified personnel with numerous other employers, including consulting firms, some of which have greater resources than we have, as well as pharmaceutical companies, all of which have significantly greater financial and other resources than we. We may experience increased costs in order to retain and attract skilled employees. Our failure to attract additional personnel or to retain the services of key personnel and independent contractors could have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate profitably.
 
We may not be able to continue to grow unless we consummate acquisitions or enter markets outside of Puerto Rico.
 
An important part of our growth strategy is both to acquire other businesses which can increase the range of services and products that we can offer and to establish offices in countries where we do not presently operate, either by acquisition or by internal growth. If we fail to make any acquisitions or otherwise expand our business, our future growth may be limited. As of the date of this prospectus, we do not have any agreement or understanding, either formal or informal, as to any acquisition.
 
Because we are now required to pay income tax, our past operations, which do not reflect income tax, may not be indicative of our future results.

Prior to January 25, 2006, we operated as an N Corporation under the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code. An N corporation is similar to an S corporation under the Internal Revenue Code in that the corporation itself is not subject to tax and all taxable income is taxed to the stockholder. Upon the completion of the reverse acquisition on January 25, 2006, we became subject to Puerto Rico income tax, which provides for corporate income tax at our tax bracket at the rates ranging from 39% to 41.5%. If we had been subject to income tax for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005 and the years ended October 31, 2005 and 2004, our net income would have been approximately $1.4 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2006; $3.0 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2005; $4.0 million for the year ended October 31, 2005; and $3.5 million for the year ended October 31, 2004.
 
If we identify a proposed acquisition, we may require substantial cash to fund the cost of the acquisition.
 
Any acquisitions we make may be made with cash or our securities or a combination of cash and securities. To the extent that we require cash, we may have to borrow the funds or sell equity securities. We have no commitments from any financing source and we may not be able to raise any cash necessary to complete an acquisition. If we seek to expand our business internally, we will incur significant start-up expenses without any assurance of our ability to penetrate the market.
 
The issuance of securities, whether in connection with an acquisition or otherwise, may result in significant dilution to our stockholders.
 
If we are required to issue securities either as payment of all or a portion of the purchase price of an acquisition or in order to obtain financing for the acquisition or for other corporate purposes could result in dilution to our stockholders. The amount of such dilution will be
 
-10-
 
dependent upon the terms on which we issue securities. The issuance of securities at a price which is less than the exercise price of warrants or the conversion price of securities could result in additional dilution if we are required to reduce the exercise price or conversion price of the then outstanding options or warrants or other convertible securities.
 
If we make any acquisitions, they may disrupt or have a negative impact on our business.
 
If we make acquisitions or establish operations in countries outside of Puerto Rico, we could have difficulty integrating the acquired companies’ personnel and operations with our own. In addition, the key personnel of the acquired business may not be willing to work for us. We cannot predict the effect expansion may have on our core business. Regardless of whether we are successful in making an acquisition, the negotiations could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses. In addition to the risks described above, acquisitions are accompanied by a number of inherent risks, including, without limitation, the following:
 
 
·
the difficulty of integrating acquired products, services or operations;
 
 
·
the potential disruption of the ongoing businesses and distraction of our management and the management of acquired companies;
 
 
·
the potential loss of contracts from clients of acquired companies.
 
 
·
the difficulty of maintaining profitability due to increased labor and expenses from acquired company.
 
 
·
difficulties in complying with regulations in other countries that relate to both the pharmaceutical or other industry to which we provide services as well as our own operations;
 
 
·
difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;
 
 
·
the potential impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of any integration of new management personnel;
 
 
·
the potential inability or failure to achieve additional sales and enhance our customer base through cross-marketing of the products to new and existing customers;
 
 
·
the effect of any government regulations which relate to the business acquired;
 
 
·
potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses or product lines, or the need to spend significant amounts to retool, reposition or modify the marketing and sales of acquired products or the defense of any litigation, whether of not successful, resulting from actions of the acquired company prior to our acquisition;
 
 
·
difficulties in disposing of the excess or idle facilities of an acquired company or business and expenses in maintaining such facilities; and
 
 
·
potential expenses under the labor, environmental and other laws of other countries.
 
Our business could be severely impaired if and to the extent that we are unable to succeed in addressing any of these risks or other problems encountered in connection with an acquisition, many of which cannot be presently identified. Further, the commencement of business in other countries may be subject to significant risks in areas which we are not able to prepare for in advance.
 
Our quarterly revenues, operating results and profitability will vary from quarter to quarter, which may result in increased volatility of our stock price.
 
-11-
 
Our quarterly revenues, operating results and profitability have varied in the past and are likely to vary significantly from quarter to quarter, making them difficult to predict. This may lead to volatility in our share price. The factors that are likely to cause these variations are:
 
 
·
Seasonality, including number of workdays and holiday and summer vacations;
 
 
·
The business decisions of clients regarding the use of our services;
 
 
·
Periodic differences between clients’ estimated and actual levels of business activity associated with ongoing engagements, including the delay, reduction in scope and cancellation of projects;
 
 
·
The stage of completion of existing projects and/or their termination;
 
 
·
Our ability to move employees quickly from completed projects to new engagements and our ability to replace completed contracts with new contracts with the same clients or other clients.
 
 
·
The introduction of new services by us or our competitors;
 
 
·
Changes in pricing policies by us or our competitors;
 
 
·
Our ability to manage costs, including personnel costs, support-services costs and severance costs;
 
 
·
Acquisition and integration costs related to possible acquisitions of other businesses.
 
 
·
Changes in estimates, accruals and payments of variable compensation to our employees; and
 
 
·
Global economic and political conditions and related risks, including acts of terrorism.
 
If we are unable to raise additional funds that we require may impair our ability to grow.
 
We may, in the future, require funds to expand our business or to make acquisitions. We have no commitment by any person to provide us with funds if we require funds. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise any funds that we may require, and, if we are able to raise funds, the terms on which we raise funds may result in significant dilution to you.
 
Because of our cash requirements, we may be unable to pay dividends.
 
Except for payments to Elizabeth Plaza during the period when she was our sole stockholder, including $8.0 million paid in the year ended October 31, 2005, we have not paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain any earnings to finance the growth of our business and to pay the deferred payments of $8.25 million owed to Elizabeth Plaza, and we may never pay cash dividends.
 
Risks Concerning our Securities.
 
Because our stock is not currently traded, we cannot predict when or whether an active market for our common stock will develop.
 
Our common stock is not traded on any trading market, and we do not have a significant public float. If our common stock were to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board or the Pink Sheets, we cannot assure you that any significant market for our stock would develop. In the absence of an active trading market, you may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations for our stock; the market visibility for our stock may be limited, and the lack of visibility for our common stock may have a depressive effect on the market price for our common stock.
 
-12-
 
Our stock price may be affected by our failure to meet projections and estimates of earnings developed either by us or by independent securities analysts.
 
Our operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors as well as our own projections. In this event, the market price of our common stock would likely be materially adversely affected.
 
The registration and sales of common stock being sold pursuant to this prospectus may have a depressive effect upon the market for our common stock.
 
We have a nominal public float, and the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus constitute substantially all of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If the selling stockholders sell a significant number of shares of common stock, the market price of our common stock may decline. Accordingly, the mere filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus is part could have a significant depressive effect on our stock price which could make it difficult both for us to raise funds from other sources and for the public stockholders to sell their shares.
 
Because we may be subject to the “penny stock” rules, you may have difficulty in selling our common stock.
 
If a public market develops for our common stock and if our stock price is less than $5.00 per share, our stock may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements and restrictions on broker-dealers that sell our stock to persons other than established customers and institutional accredited investors. The application of these rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to sell any common stock you may own.
 
According to the SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
 
 
•
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
 
 
•
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
 
 
•
“Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;
 
 
•
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
 
 
•
The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
 
As an issuer of “penny stock” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us.
 
Although the federal securities law provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, if we are a penny stock we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any based upon a claim that the material provided by us, including this prospectus, contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading.
 
-13-
 
The exercise of outstanding options and warrants may have a dilutive effect on the price of our common stock.
 
To the extent that outstanding stock options and warrants are exercised, dilution to our stockholders will occur. Moreover, the terms upon which we will be able to obtain additional equity capital may be adversely affected, since the holders of the outstanding options and warrants can be expected to exercise them at a time when we would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable to us than the exercise terms provided by the outstanding options and warrants.
 
Because we are not subject to compliance with rules requiring the adoption of certain corporate governance measures, our stockholders have limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.
 
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rule changes proposed and enacted by the Commission, the New York and American Stock Exchanges and the Nasdaq Stock Market as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley, require the implementation of various measures relating to corporate governance. These measures are designed to enhance the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to securities which are listed on those exchanges or the Nasdaq Stock Market. Because we are not presently required to comply with many of the corporate governance provisions and because we chose to avoid incurring the substantial additional costs associated with such compliance any sooner than necessary, we have not yet adopted all of these measures. As of the date of this prospectus, we are not in compliance with requirements relating to the distribution of annual and interim reports, the holding of stockholders meetings and solicitation of proxies for such meeting and requirements for stockholder approval for certain corporate actions. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.
 
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
Statements in this prospectus may be “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those described above and those risks discussed from time to time in this prospectus, including the risks described under “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this prospectus and in other documents which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, such statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to demand for our services, our ability to diversify our client base and enter new markets for our services, market and customer acceptance, our ability to raise any financing which we may require for our operations, competition, government regulations and requirements, pricing and development difficulties, our ability to make acquisitions and successfully integrate those acquisitions with our business, as well as general industry and market conditions and growth rates, and general economic conditions. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this prospectus.
 
USE OF PROCEEDS
 
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of their common stock. If the selling stockholders exercise any warrants, we will receive the amount of the exercise price. The maximum total exercise price is approximately $11 million, which we would receive only if all of the warrants were exercised at their present exercise price. Any proceeds which we receive from the exercise of the warrants would be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
 
The following table sets forth the names of the selling stockholders, the number of shares of common stock owned beneficially by the selling stockholders as of June 30, 2006, the number of shares of our common stock that may be offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus, the number of shares owned by the selling stockholders after completion of the offering. Except for San Juan Holdings, Inc., which will beneficially own 3,375,724 shares after completion of this offering (representing 600,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 2,757,724 shares of common stock), no selling stockholder will own more than 1% of our outstanding common stock after the sale of shares owned by such selling stockholder. After completion of the sale of the shares owned by San Juan Holdings and offered by this prospectus, San Juan Holdings would beneficially own 3,375,724 shares of common stock, representing 15.6% of our outstanding common stock, assuming no warrants are exercised by the selling stockholders, and 11.4% of the common stock, assuming all of the warrants held by the selling stockholders are exercised. The table and the other information contained under the captions “Selling Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution” has been prepared based upon information furnished to us by or on behalf of the selling stockholders.

None of the selling stockholders has, or within the past three years has had, any position, office or material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates except as follows:

In consideration for investment banking services rendered by San Juan Holdings, as advisor to Plaza and Elizabeth Plaza, we issued to San Juan Holdings 600,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.06 per share. The services rendered by San Juan Holdings included advice to Plaza and to Ms. Plaza, and negotiation with us on behalf of Plaza and Ms. Plaza, as to the structure of the transaction and the consideration payable to Ms. Plaza for her stock in Plaza, including the amount paid at closing, the equity to be issued to Ms. Plaza and the amount, timing and conditions of the deferred payment. In connection with the January 2006 private placement in which we issued the shares of series A preferred stock to the selling stockholders, we paid RD Capital Group, an affiliate of San Juan Holdings, $195,000 for commissions and non-accountable expense allowance and we issued to RD Capital Group warrants to purchase 275,724 shares of common stock. RD Capital Group waived its commission and non-accountable expense allowance on the securities purchased by San Juan Holdings, and, as a result, the purchase price of the securities purchased by San Juan Holdings was $652,500 rather than $750,000. The warrants have an exercise price of $.7344 per share and a term of three years, and the holders of the warrants have piggyback registration rights commencing six months after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
 
Dov Perlysky is a director and, prior to the acquisition of Plaza, Mr. Perlysky was the sole director and our sole executive officer.
 
Kirk Michel is a director. Mr. Michel was elected as a director at the time of the closing of the acquisition of Plaza.
 
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions or by gift. These sales may be made at fixed or negotiated prices. Because there is no trading market in our common stock as of the date of this prospectus, the selling stockholders intend to sell any shares in the public market at prices ranging from $.75 to $1.50 per share until a public market develops for the common stock. Once a public market develops for the common stock, the selling stockholders may sell their shares of common stock in the public market based on the market price at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. Subject to the foregoing, the selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling or otherwise transferring shares:
 
 
•
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 
 
•
block trades in which a broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
 
-17-
 
 
•
sales to a broker-dealer as principal and the resale by the broker-dealer of the shares for its account;
 
 
•
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
 
•
privately negotiated transactions, including gifts;
 
 
•
covering short sales made after the date of this prospectus.
 
 
•
pursuant to an arrangement or agreement with a broker-dealer to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
 
•
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
 
 
•
any other method of sale permitted pursuant to applicable: law.
 
The selling stockholders may also sell shares pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act, if available, rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
 
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
 
A selling stockholder may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares or common stock or warrant owned by them and, if the selling stockholder defaults in the performance of the secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
 
In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which may in turn engage in short sales of our common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may, after the date of this prospectus, also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge their common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
 
The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
 
In the event of a transfer by a selling stockholder of the warrants or the common stock other than a transfer pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 of the SEC, we may be required to amend or supplement this prospectus in order to name the transferee as a selling stockholder.
 
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The selling stockholders have informed us that they do not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock.
 
-18-
 
Because the selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Federal securities laws, including Regulation M, may restrict the timing of purchases and sales of our common stock by the selling stockholders and any other persons who are involved in the distribution of the shares of common stock pursuant to this prospectus. To our knowledge, none of the selling stockholders have an agreement or understanding with any broker-dealer with respect to the sale of their shares except as set forth below.
 
One of the selling stockholders, San Juan Holdings, is an affiliate of RD Capital Group, a broker-dealer, and may sell shares through RD Capital Group. Two other stockholders are employees, but not affiliates of broker-dealers. David Jordan is an employee of Axiom Capital, and Wilfredo Ortiz is an employee of RD Capital Group. Although they do not have a ownership or control relationship with, and are not officers, directors or partners of, the broker-dealers, they may, nonetheless, be deemed affiliates of the broker-dealers. Selling stockholders who are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers will be deemed underwriters in connection with their sales. The selling stockholders who are affiliates and employees of broker-dealers purchased their shares in the ordinary course and, at the time of purchasing the securities they had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
 
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK AND STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
 
There is no market for our common stock.

As of August 31, 2006, we had 105 stockholders of record. At that date, we had 18,315,001 shares of common stock outstanding, of which 16,013,201 shares were held by the selling stockholders for sale pursuant to this prospectus, 1,150,000 were held by Elizabeth Plaza, and 600,000 shares were held by San Juan Holdings. Of the remaining 551,800 shares of common stock, 487,600 shares are subject to an escrow agreement and cannot be released from escrow until the earlier of September 1, 2007 or the date on which the closing price of a share of our common stock is at least $.50 for ten consecutive trading days on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Nasdaq Stock Market or the American or New York Stock Exchange. The remaining 64,200 shares of common stock were eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144.
 
In addition to the warrants held by the selling stockholders, warrants to purchase 5,539,892 shares of common stock were outstanding as of August 31, 2006. The holders of all of such warrants have registration rights with respect to the underlying shares of common stock. We intend to register the 2,500,000 shares issuable pursuant to the 2006 long-term incentive plan on a Form S-8.
 
Prior to the reverse acquisition, we were taxed as an N Corporation under the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code, which is similar to that of an S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, all of our income was taxed to our then sole stockholder, Elizabeth Plaza. We made distributions to Ms. Plaza of approximately $834,000 during the nine months ended July 31, 2006, approximately $8.0 million during the year ended October 31, 2005 and approximately $5.1 million during the year ended October 31, 2004. Other than the distributions to Ms. Plaza which were made during the period that we were an N Corporation, we did not pay dividends on our common stock. We plan to retain future earnings, if any, for use in our business. We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. The following discussion includes forward-looking statements. For a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ from results discussed in the forward-looking statements, see “Forward Looking Statements.”
 
As a result of the reverse acquisition that closed on January 25, 2006, Plaza is treated as the accounting acquirer and the results of operations for periods prior to January 25, 2006 reflect only the operations of Plaza.
 
Overview
 
We are a validation and compliance consulting service firm in Puerto Rico. The validation and compliance consulting service market in Puerto Rico consists of local validation and compliance consulting firms, United States dedicated validation and compliance consulting firms and large publicly traded and private domestic and foreign engineering and consulting firms. We provide a broad range of compliance and validation consulting services. We market our services to pharmaceutical, chemical, biotechnology and medical devices and allied products companies in Puerto Rico, the United States and Europe through their Puerto Rico operations. Our staff includes more than 140 experienced engineering and life science professionals, and includes former quality assurance managers or directors, and experienced and well-trained professionals with masters and doctorates in health sciences and engineering.
 
Our revenue is derived from time and materials contracts (representing approximately 90% of total revenues), where the clients are charged for the time, materials and expenses incurred on a particular project, and to a lesser extent (approximately 10% of total revenues) from fixed-fee contracts or from “not to exceed” contracts, which are generally short-term contracts, in which the value of the contract to us cannot exceed a stated amount. For time and materials contracts, our revenue is principally a function of the number of its compliance and validation professional employees and the volume of hours billed per professional. To the extent that our revenue is based on fixed-fee or “not to exceed” contracts, our ability to operate profitably is dependent upon our ability to estimate accurately the costs that we will incur on a project and to the management and monitoring of the project progress. If we underestimate our costs on any contract, we would sustain a loss on the contract.
 
We believe the most significant factors to achieving future business growth are our ability to (a) continue to provide quality value-added validation and compliance services to our clients in the Puerto Rico marketplace; (b) recruit and retain highly educated and experienced validation and compliance professionals; (c) further expand our products and services to address the expanding compliance needs of the its clients; and (d) expand our market presence into the United States, Latin America and Europe in order to respond to the international validation and compliance demands of our clients.
 

Our business has been dependent upon a small number of clients. During the nine months ended July 31, 2006 and the years ended October 31, 2005 and 2004, a very small number of clients accounted for a disproportionately large percentage of our revenue. For the nine months ended July 31, 2006, four customers accounted for approximately 76.3% of revenue. For the year ended October 31, 2005, two of
 
-20-
 
these four customers accounted for approximately 62.2% of revenue, and for the year ended October 31, 2004, these two customers accounted for approximately 64.9% of revenue. The loss of or significant reduction in the scope of work performed for any major customer could impair our ability to operate profitably. In particular, we had a contract with our largest customer which expired on December 31, 2005. Although this contract was divided in a number of smaller contracts and extended with termination dates varying through December 2006, the level of business has significantly declined from the prior year. In June 2006, this customer announced the closing of one of its two facilities located in Puerto Rico and a reduction of staff in the second facility. The revenues from this major customer were as follows:

Although our business is affected by seasonal factors such as vacation and holiday work policies, we do not believe that our business is seasonal. However, because our business is based on performing services under contracts which relate to specific projects, there may be a lag between the completion of one project and the commencement of the following project. This lag may cause some decline in revenues and a related decline in gross margin.
 
On January 9, 2006, we acquired, for $300,000, from the individual who was our executive vice president and chief operating officer during February and March 2006, certain assets of Integrated Validation Service, a United States-based business that performs consulting services for the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. These assets include a client list and the validation compliance service business that was operated by that individual. The purchase price was paid in three installments, each in the amount of $100,000. We also hired nine former employees of the business. This acquisition was made pursuant to our strategy to expand our operations beyond Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico businesses with a view to lessening our dependence upon a small number of Puerto Rico pharmaceutical companies. Revenues from these operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 were approximately $538,000. We cannot give assurance that any significant revenues will be derived from these operations.
 
The principal components of our costs of revenue are employee compensation (salaries, wages, taxes and benefits) and expenses relating to the performance of the services. We face increasing labor costs which we seek to pass on to our customers through increases in our rates. However, there is often a delay between the increase in our costs and the increases in our billing rate, which may result in a reduced gross margin during that period. Although we have has been successful in the past in being able to increase our billing rates to reflect our increased labor costs, we cannot give any assurance that we will continue to be able to do so.

On January 25, 2006, we acquired Plaza in a transaction which is accounted for as a reverse acquisition, with Plaza being deemed the accounting acquirer. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, we paid Elizabeth Plaza, the sole stockholder of Plaza, $10,000,000 plus 1,150,000 shares of our common stock. In addition, Ms. Plaza will receive three payments, each in the amount of $2,750,000, payable on January 25, 2007, 2008 and 2009. The first payment, net of imputed interest, is a current liability at July 31, 2006, and, together with the costs incurred by Pharma-Bio in connection with the acquisition of Plaza and the additional cash payment due Ms. Plaza, is a significant factor in the reduction in the Company's working capital at July 31, 2006, as discussed under "Liquidity and Capital Resources."
 
As a condition to closing, Plaza was required to have a net tangible book value of not less than $5,500,000, of which at least $2,000,000 was in cash, as of November 30, 2005, with the excess to be paid to Ms. Plaza, the selling stockholder. As a result, we owed Ms. Plaza an additional $88,161 pursuant to this provision.
 
The agreement relating to the acquisition of Plaza also provides that we, rather than Ms. Plaza, are responsible for the income tax from December 1, 2005 through the closing date, which was January 25, 2006. Because of the status of Plaza as an N Corporation under the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code, Plaza’s net income from December 1, 2005 to January 24, 2006 is taxed to Ms. Plaza. The income tax payable by Ms. Plaza for Plaza’s taxable income for said period amounts to $125,227. On June 15, 2005, we paid Ms. Plaza the $88,161 payable described in the preceding paragraph and the $125,227 tax reimbursement. Both of these payments are treated as additional payments on account of the purchase price of Ms. Plaza’s stock.
Prior to January 25, 2006, we operated as an N Corporation under the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code. An N corporation is similar to an S corporation under the Internal Revenue Code in that the corporation itself is not subject to tax and all taxable income is taxed to Ms. Plaza, as the sole stockholder. Upon the completion of the reverse acquisition on January 25, 2006, we became subject to Puerto Rico income tax, which provides for corporate income tax at our tax bracket at rates ranging from 39% to 41.5%. The table under “Results of Operations” shows the pro forma results of operations if we had been subject to Puerto Rico income tax since November 1, 2003.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The 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 (“GAAP”) in the United States. We believe the following are the critical accounting policies that impact the financial statements, some of which are based on management’s best estimates available at the time of preparation. Actual experience may differ from these estimates.
 
Cash and cash equivalents - For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
 
Revenue Recognition - We recognize revenues when services are rendered to our clients for time and materials contracts. In the case of fixed-fee or “not to exceed” contracts, which are generally short-term contracts, revenue is recognized based on the percentage that the services rendered bears to the estimated services to be performed over the contract.
 
Bad Debt - Bad debts are accounted for using the direct write-off method whereby an expense is recognized only when a specific account is determined to be uncollectible. The effect of using this method approximates that of the allowance method.
 
Property and Equipment -- Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Major renewals and betterments that extend the life of the assets are capitalized, while expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred.
 
Income Taxes -- We elected from our inception until January 25, 2006, to be covered under the provisions of Subchapter N of Subtitle A of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code (the “Puerto Rico Code”), which is similar to Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code in that we pay no income taxes since the taxable income is taxed to our stockholder. Under the provisions of the Puerto Rico Code, we pay the Puerto Rico Secretary of Treasury, on behalf of its stockholder, an amount equal to 33% of our taxable income. These payments, and any income tax withheld, are included in the amount of distributions to stockholder in our financial statements.
 
Commencing with the acquisition of Plaza on January 25, 2006, we will be tax based on our taxable income under the applicable provisions of the Puerto Rico Code and the Internal Revenue Code. The financial statements for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 reflect a provision for income taxes based on the applicable provisions of the Puerto Rico Code, since the income was earned in Puerto Rico, and, pursuant to the Puerto Rico Code, we did not pay income tax for periods prior to January 25, 2006.
 
Concentration of credit risk -- Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits and trade accounts receivable. We maintain our bank account in a high quality financial institution. While we attempt to limit any financial exposure, our deposit balances frequently exceed federally insured limits; however, no losses have been experienced on this account.
 
Our revenues are concentrated in the pharmaceutical industry in Puerto Rico. Approximately $8.0 million, or 76.3%, of the revenues in the nine months ended July 31, 2006 were generated by four customers. The same customers had an outstanding balance at July 31, 2006 representing 81.4% of the total receivables. Approximately $10.8 million, or 62.2% of revenue, for the year ended October 31, 2005 and $11.0 million, or 64.9% of the revenues, in year ended October 31, 2004, was generated by two of these customers. These two customers had outstanding balances at October 31, 2005 and 2004 representing 63% and 60% of the total receivables, respectively. We assess the financial strength of our clients and, as a consequence, believe that our trade accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited.
 
Retirement Plan -- We adopted a qualified profit sharing plan in January 2002 (amended on November 30, 2003) in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Puerto Rico Code, for employees who meet certain age and service period requirements. We make contributions to this plan as required by the provisions of the plan

document, amounting to $30,926 for the nine months ended July 31, 2006, $35,908 for the year ended October 31, 2005 and $29,467 for the year ended October 31, 2004.
 
Stock Option Plan --During the year ended October 31, 2004, we granted stock options with an exercise price equal to the book value of the common stock as of October 31, 2003, which we deemed to be the fair value of our common stock. The options expired ten years from the date of grant and generally vested over a three-year period. In connection with our acquisition of Plaza, these options were cancelled and we granted the option holders options to purchase an aggregate of 776,186 shares of common stock in respect of the cancelled options and we issued options to purchase an additional 623,814 shares of common stock to employees of Plaza, including those whose options were cancelled. In addition, options to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock were granted to our directors pursuant to a provision of the plan that provided for the automatic grant of an option to purchase 25,000 shares upon the initial election of an independent director. All of our outstanding options have an exercise price of $.7344, a term of five years and are exercisable in installments.
 
Fair value of financial instruments - The carrying value of our financial instruments (excluding obligations under capital leases): cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, are considered reasonable estimates of fair value due to the short period to maturity. We believe, based on current rates, that the fair value of its obligations under capital leases approximates the carrying amount.
 
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 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, The FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Earlier application of the provisions of this Interpretation is encouraged if the enterprise has not yet issued financial statements, including interim financial statements, in the period this Interpretation is adopted. We do not expect that the application of this standard will have any effect on the Company's results of operations or its financial condition.
 
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47 “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 clarifies that the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in FASB Statement No. 143 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and (or) method of settlement. Thus, the timing and (or) method of settlement may be conditional on a future event. Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The fair value of a liability for the conditional asset retirement obligation should be recognized when incurred, generally upon acquisition, construction or development and (or) through the normal operation of the asset. Uncertainty about the timing and (or) method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. FASB Statement No. 143 acknowledges that in some cases, sufficient information may not be available to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset obligation. This interpretation also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. We do not expect that the application of this standard will have any effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 153 “Exchanges of Non-Monetary Transactions - an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29.” The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions,” is based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however included certain exceptions to that principle. This Statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. We do not expect that the adoption of FASB Statement No. 153 will have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.
 
-23-
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision of FASB Statement No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” This Statement, No. 123R, supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and its related implementation guide. This Statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges instruments for goods and services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs in liabilities in exchange of goods and services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employees services in share-based payment transactions. We are required to comply with Statement 123R beginning with the first interim or annual reporting period of the first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2005. As a result of the implementation of Statement 123R, the grant of options will be treated as compensation based on the value of the option, which will increase our selling, general and administrative expenses.
 
In May 2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 154 “Accounting for Changes and Errors Corrections.” This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20 “Accounting Changes” and FASB Statement No. 3 “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When its is impracticable to determine the period specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retroactive application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in statement of financial position) for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. We do not expect that the adoption of FASB Statement No. 154 will have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

We were treated as an N Corporation under the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code, which is similar to an S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, prior to the reverse acquisition. As a result, we did not pay any income tax. Since January 25, 2006, we have been subject to income tax in Puerto Rice. If we had not been treated as an N Corporation during the nine months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005 or the fiscal years ended October 31, 2005 and 2004, our income before income taxes would have been taxed at rates ranging from 39% to 41.5%.

Nine Months Ended July 31, 2006 and 2005
 
Revenues. Revenues for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 were $10.4 million, a decrease of $3.2 million, or 23%, from the revenue of $13.6 million in the comparable nine-month period of the prior year. The decrease reflected a decline in revenue of $5.1 million from two of our largest customers, following completion of contract with these customers. One of these customers has announced that it is significantly reducing the scope of its operations by closing one of its two facilities in Puerto Rico and reducing personnel at the second. The decrease in revenue from these two customers was partially offset by an increase of $3.4 million from two other customers that generated revenues of $0.9 million in the nine-month period ended July 31, 2005.
 
Cost of Revenues; Gross Margin. Our gross margin decreased from 46.8% to 41.5% during the nine months ended July 31, 2006 as compared to the nine months ended July 31, 2005. The reduction of gross margin was attributable to increased labor costs, which is the main component of our cost of revenues. Although we try to pass on the increased costs, we are not always able to do so in a timely manner, and there are often delays between the time we incur increased labor costs and the time we are able to increases our charges to customers. The increased labor costs are the result of the limited supply of available, qualified professionals and the constant demand for such persons from competing consulting firms and their customers.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Total expenses were approximately $1.5 million during the nine months ended July 31, 2006, an increase of approximately $186,000, or 14.1%, from the comparable period of the prior year. Such increase resulted mainly from expenses incurred since the completion of the reverse acquisition on January 25, 2006. The expenses related to executive salaries not previously incurred, as well as to legal and related expenses associated with SEC filings.

Interest Expense. Since January 25, 2006, we have been recognizing approximately $125,000 quarterly corresponding to imputed interest expense incurred in connection with the long-term obligations to Ms. Plaza which originated as a result of the reverse acquisition.
 
Income Tax Expense. The increase in the income tax expense results from a change in our tax status. We became a regular corporation taxpayer effective January 25, 2006. Prior to that, we were covered under the provisions of Subchapter N of Subtitle A of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code which are similar to Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code in that our taxable income was taxed to the stockholders. The statutory tax rate in Puerto Rico is 39% or 41.5%, depending on the period.
 
 Net Income . As a result of our decline in revenues, combined with a lower gross margin resulting from the increase in labor costs, the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, the recognition of imputed interest and the change of our tax status, our net income for the nine-month period ended on July 31, 2006 decreased to approximately $1.7 million, or $0.22 per share (basic) and $0.10 per share (diluted), a decline of approximately $3.3 million, or 65%, from $5.0 million net income, or $2.85 per share (basic) and $1.23 per share (diluted), for the nine-month period ended July 31, 2005.

The basic and diluted income per share are also affected by the securities issued in connection with the private placement that was completed contemporaneously with the reverse acquisition. At that time, the Company issued shares of series A preferred stock which were convertible into 15,998,800 shares of common stock. The series A preferred stock was automatically converted into the 15,998,800 shares on April 25, 2005, when the Company increased its authorized capital stock. As a result, the shares of common stock that were issued upon conversion of the series A preferred stock are included in determining diluted earnings per share from January 25, 2006 until April 24, 2006 and in determining basic earnings per share thereafter.

Years Ended October 31, 2005 and 2004
 
Revenues. Revenues for 2005 were $17.4 million, an increase of $500,000, or 2.8%, compared to 2004 revenues. The increase in revenue is attributable to continued demand from existing customers and business from new customers.
 
Cost of Revenues; Gross Margin. Cost of revenues was $9.4 million in 2005, an increase of $38,941, or 0.4%, from 2004. Our gross profit and gross margin increased to $8.0 million and 46.0% for 2005 from $7.6 million and 44.7% in 2004. The increase in our gross margin is attributable to better management and negotiation with respect to our fixed-rate service contracts and the more efficient utilization of our professional staff.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.5 million in 2005, a decrease of $243,773, or 13.7%, from 2004. The decrease in these expenses was due to a reduction in our administrative staff in 2004, which affected the results of our operations in 2005, and efficiencies in our corporate and administrative management, including a reduction in turnover.
 
Net Income. As a result of foregoing, our net income increased to $6.4 million, or $3.65 per share (basic) and $1.58 per share (diluted), for the year ended October 31, 2005, as compared with net income of $5.7 million, or $3.28 per share (basic) and $1.42 per share (diluted) for the year ended October 31, 2004. During the years ended October 31, 2005 and 2004, we were taxed as an N Corporation under the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code, which is similar to the treatment of an S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, there is no provision for income tax for either period.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including planned capital expenditures. At July 31, 2006, we had working capital of approximately $4.2 million, a decrease of approximately $1.6 million from the working capital at October 31, 2005 of approximately $5.8 million. Although we generated approximately $0.6 million from operations during the nine months ended July 31, 2006, this increase was offset by the current obligation of approximately $2.3 million payable to Elizabeth Plaza in connection with the acquisition of Plaza. We also have long-term obligations to Ms. Plaza for the payments of $2.75 million due in each of January 2008 and 2009.

We raised gross proceeds of $11.75 million from the sale of series A preferred stock and warrants, and used $10 million to pay Ms. Plaza the cash portion of the purchase price of the Plaza stock and most of the balance to pay offering expenses and closing expenses.
 
Pursuant to the merger agreement we were required to pay Ms. Plaza the amount by which our tangible net worth exceeded $5.5 million at November 30, 2005. Pursuant to this provision, we paid Ms. Plaza $88,161 on June 15, 2006. Prior to the closing under the merger agreement, we were taxed as an N Corporation under the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code, which, like an S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, provides that the corporation is not subject to corporate income tax and income is taxed to the stockholders. Ms. Plaza, as sole stockholder, was taxed on our income during the period from December 1, 2005 to January 24, 2006, and the merger agreement required us to reimburse Ms. Plaza for the amount of the tax. This amount was $125,227, which was paid on June 15, 2006.
 
For the nine months ended July 31, 2006 and the year ended October 31, 2005, we made distributions of approximately $834,000 and approximately $8.0 million, respectively, to or on behalf of Elizabeth Plaza. These amounts include cash distributions ($750,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 and $7.3 million for the year ended October 31, 2005) and income tax withheld by clients which was treated as a payment of taxes on behalf of Ms. Plaza and used as a credit by Ms. Plaza on her income taxes ($85,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 and $649,000 for the year ended October 31, 2005).
 
Our primary cash needs consist of payment of compensation to its professional employees, overhead expenses and payments due to Ms. Plaza pursuant to the terms of the acquisition of Plaza. In addition, since January 25, 2006, we have been subject to income tax in Puerto Rico. Our taxable income in Puerto Rico is taxed at rates ranging from 39% to 41.5% of taxable income. We have a line of credit of $250,000, which bears interest at 2.00% over the prime rate and was unused at July 31, 2006.
 
-26-

Management believes that based on current levels of operations and anticipated growth, cash flows from operations, high quality customer receivables will be sufficient to fund anticipated expenses and satisfy other possible long-term contractual commitments, including our obligations to pay Ms. Plaza $2.75 million in January 2007 pursuant to the agreement relating to the acquisition of Plaza, for the next twelve months.

While uncertainties relating to competition, the industries and geographical regions served by us and other regulatory matters exist within the consulting services industry, management is not aware of any trends or events likely to have a material adverse effect on liquidity or its financial statements. However, as stated above, one of our largest clients has significantly reduced the scope of its operations in Puerto Rico and other companies in the industries which we serve may take similar actions. To the extent that these factors result in a continued decline in our revenue, our liquidity may be affected if we are not able to expand our potential customer base both in and outside of Puerto Rico.
 
BUSINESS
 
We are a Puerto Rico-based company established in 1997 to offer consulting services to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and chemical manufacturing industries. We were founded by Elizabeth Plaza after many years of hands on experience in technical services, process validation programs, cleaning procedures, validation, product and process transfers, process optimization, and quality and regulatory compliance programs. We have successfully grown our business operation by providing quality, value-added consulting services to the major pharmaceutical manufacturing companies located throughout the island of Puerto Rico. To a lesser extent, we also provide consulting services to Puerto Rico companies operating in the United States and in Europe. We have a team of more than 140 qualified professionals with in-depth experience, and we have been designated as a preferred supplier by our major clients.
 
Our mission is to provide high quality services to the pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device and related industries to maintain or improve their quality standards and competitive value.  A drug is considered to be adulterated if the method used in, or the facilities or controls used for, its manufacture, processing, packing or holding do not conform to or are not operated or administered in conformity with current good manufacturing practice of the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). These practice are designed to assure that the drug meets the requirements the regulations as to safety and meets the quality, strength and purity characteristics which the manufacturer claims. We assist our clients in complying with the government regulations by offering a full range of consulting services in the areas relating to compliance with the regulations.  In addition, we provide resources to support the introduction of new pharmaceutical products, environmental safety and occupational health, project management, training services and computer systems.  When the FDA finds that company is not in compliance with these practices, it may issue a list of observations, warning letter or require the company to enter into a consent decree by which the company agrees to take steps to correct its failure.  A company may be required to hire additional personnel or engage a non-affiliated third party to monitor its compliance with the consent decree.  The failure of the company to comply with good manufacturing practices, correct matters set forth in a warning letter or comply with the terms of a consent decree could result in penalties.  We provide experienced resources to assist our clients in complying with these requirements and meeting their compliance commitments with the FDA.
 
Our highly-trained and experienced engineering and life science professionals include former FDA investigators, former quality assurance managers or directors, and experienced and well-trained professionals with masters and doctorates in health sciences and engineering. Its professional staff is committed to our objective to provide a flexible, common sense and cost effective approach to meet our client’s needs, strategies and budget objectives.

We have established quality systems for our employees which include:
 
•
Training Programs - including a Current Good Manufacturing Practices exam prior to recruitment and quarterly refreshers;
 
 
•
Recruitment Full Training Program - including employee manual, dress code, time sheets and good projects management and control procedures, job descriptions, and firm operating and administration procedures;

•
Code of Ethics - A code of ethics and business conduct is used and enforced as one of the most significant company controls on personal ethics.
 
In addition, we have implemented procedures to respond to client complaints and customer satisfaction survey procedures. As part of our employee performance appraisal annual process, our clients receive an evaluation form for employee project performance feedback.
 
In January 2006, we acquired certain assets for a purchase price of $300,000, from Mr. Mark Fazio. The acquired assets include a client list and a validation compliance service business. The purchase price was paid in three installments of $100,000. We have also hired nine former employees of the business.
 
Business Strategy and Objectives
 
We have a well-established and consistent relationship with the major pharmaceutical, biotechnology and chemical manufacturing companies in Puerto Rico. Our business strategy is based on a commitment to provide premium quality and professional consulting services and reliable customer service to our customer base. Our business strategy and objectives are as follows:
 
 
•
Continue growth in consulting services in each technical service, quality assurance, regulatory compliance, validation, engineering, safety and environmental and manufacturing departments by achieving greater market penetration from our marketing and sales efforts;
 
 
•

We conduct our marketing activities primarily within the local Puerto Rico marketplace. We actively utilizes our project managers and leaders who are currently managing consulting service contracts at various client locations to also market consulting services to their existing and past client relationships. Our senior management is also actively involved in the marketing process, especially in marketing to major accounts. Our senior management and staff also concentrate on developing new business opportunities and focus on the larger customer accounts (by number of professionals or dollar volume) and responding to prospective customers’ requests for proposals.
 
Principal Customers

Four customers accounted for 10% or more of our revenue during the nine months ended July 31, 2006, two of which also accounted for more than 10% of our revenue during the nine months ended July 31, 2005 and the years ended October 31, 2005 and 2004. The following table sets forth information as to revenue and percentage of revenue for these periods (dollars in thousands) for our principal clients, all of which are major pharmaceutical companies:

Competition
 
We are engaged in a highly competitive and fragmented industry. Some of our competitors are, on an overall basis, larger than we or are subsidiaries of larger companies, and therefore may possess greater resources than we. Furthermore, because the technical professional aspects of our business do not usually require large amounts of capital, there is relative ease of market entry for a new entrant possessing acceptable professional qualifications. Accordingly, we compete with regional, national, and international firms. Within the Puerto Rico marketplace, certain competitors, including local competitors, may possess greater resources than we do as well as better access to clients and potential clients.
 
Our competitors for validation and compliance consulting services consist of large public and private companies such as Fluor Corporation, Foster Wheeler Corp., Siemens, Skanska Pharmaceutical, and Washington Group International, as well as smaller validation companies located in Puerto Rico and mainland United States.  Although we are the largest consulting firm in Puerto Rico, as measured by number of professionals dedicated to providing validation and compliance consulting services in Puerto Rico, these companies, which offer consulting services similar to those we offer, have significantly more resources than we have and may have relationships with pharmaceutical, biotechnology and chemical manufacturing companies in the United State or in other parts of the world.
 
Competition for validation and consulting services is based primarily on reputation, track record, experience, quality of service and price. We believe that we enjoy significant competitive advantages over other consulting service firms because of our historical market share within Puerto Rico, brand name, reputation and track record with many of the major pharmaceutical, biotechnology and chemical manufacturing companies in Puerto Rico.
 
Because of recent consolidations in the pharmaceutical consulting business in Puerto Rico, we are faced with an increasing number of larger companies that offer a wider range of services than we and which also have better access to capital. We believe that larger and better-capitalized competitors have enhanced abilities to
 
-29-

compete for both clients and skilled professionals. In addition, one or more of our competitors may develop and implement methodologies that result in affecting their, and thus, potentially, our profit.
 
The market of qualified and/or experienced professionals that are capable of providing technical consulting services is very competitive and consists primarily of our competitors as well as companies in the pharmaceutical, chemical, biotechnology and medical devices industries who are our clients and potential clients. In seeking qualified personnel we market our name recognition in the Puerto Rico market, our reputation with our client, salary and benefits, quality training and a low turnover of professional employees.
 
Intellectual Property Rights
 
We have no proprietary software or products. We rely on non-disclosure agreements with our employees to protect the proprietary software and other proprietary information of our clients. Any unauthorized use or disclosure of this information could harm our business.
 
Personnel
 
We currently employ twelve administrative and technical staff employees and approximately 140 technical consultants who provide consulting services to several of our clients. Most of our technical consultants are employees, although we do engage independent consultants on a contract basis. In general, when we hire independent consultants, it is for specific projects where we do not expect to require their services on a long-term basis. We may replace the independent consultants with our own employees or hire them if we see a longer term requirement. None of our employees are represented by a labor union, and we consider our employee relations to be good.
 
Property
 
In November 2004, we entered into a three-year lease with Plaza Professional Center, Inc., a company controlled by Elizabeth Plaza, for facilities used as our main offices. The rent is $38,400 per annum.

We also lease office space in Limerick, Pennsylvania, at a monthly rental of $1,000. This lease expires on July 31, 2007, but the agreement may be terminated earlier by giving a prior 90 days written notice. The lease may be renewed for an additional term of three years at monthly rental of $1,050 during the first year, $1,100 during the second year, and $1,150 during the third year of the lease renewal term.
 
We believe that our present facilities are adequate to meet our needs and that, if we require additional space, it is available on commercially reasonable terms.

No bonuses were paid to any of the officers and no stock or other equity compensation was provided to any of the officers during the year ended October 31, 2005.
 
Other compensation for Elizabeth Plaza represents payment of personal expenses which we paid on behalf of Ms. Plaza, who was, during the year ended October 31, 2005, the sole stockholder of Plaza.
 
Other compensation for Nélida Plaza includes $25,175 for housing, $11,280 of tuition for her child, $12,034 for reimbursement of her life insurance/savings plan and a $6,000 automobile allowance.
 
Prior to the reverse acquisition, Plaza was taxed as a Subchapter N corporation under the Puerto Rico tax law, which is similar to treatment as an S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, Elizabeth Plaza was taxed on Plaza’s income. We did not pay Elizabeth Plaza any salary during the year ended October 31, 2005, since we distributed approximately $8.0 million to Ms. Plaza with respect to that year.
 
As a result of our acquisition of Plaza, Plaza’s status as a Subchapter N corporation terminated on January 25, 2006, the date of our acquisition of Plaza. Ms. Plaza is responsible for any taxes which are payable as a result of the Plaza’s loss of its Subchapter N status under the Puerto Rico tax laws. However, we, and not Ms. Plaza, are responsible for any taxes on the Plaza’s taxable income during the period from the December 1, 2005 to January 24, 2006, which amounted to $125,227, and was paid on June 15, 2006.
 
Employment Agreements
 
On January 25, 2006, we entered into employment agreements with Elizabeth Plaza and Nélida Plaza. Our agreement with Elizabeth Plaza provides that Ms. Plaza will serve as our president and chief executive officer for a period of 18 months, for which she will receive a salary at the annual rate of $250,000. For 18 months thereafter, Ms. Plaza will serve as a consultant for which she will receive compensation at the annual rate of $75,000. During the term of her employment, we will also provide Ms. Plaza with an automobile allowance at the annual rate of $24,828, discretionary bonuses and stock options or other equity-based incentives as shall be
 
-32-

determined by our compensation committee, except that her bonus shall not be less than 4% nor more than 50% of her salary. If we terminate Ms. Plaza’s employment other than for cause or as a result of her death or disability, we are required to pay Ms. Plaza the balance of her compensation for her employment terms and her consulting term and other benefits, including a pro rata portion of the bonus that would have been paid to her, and her obligations under her non-competition provision terminate. Since the bonus is discretionary, with a minimum bonus of 4% of Ms. Plaza’s salary, unless the compensation committee shall have provided for a greater bonus prior to the termination of Ms. Plaza’s employment without cause, Ms. Plaza would not be entitled to a bonus greater than $10,000, which is 4% of $250,000, the amount of the bonus to be based on the remaining employment term.
 
Our agreement with Nélida Plaza provides that Ms. Plaza will serve as vice president for a term of three years for which she will receive annual compensation at the annual rate of $150,000. She is also entitled to such bonus compensation as is determined by the compensation committee, not to exceed 50% of her salary. We also agreed to make the lease payments on the automobile she currently leases. Such payments are at the annual rate of approximately $11,600. If we terminate Ms. Plaza’s employment other than for cause or as a result of her death or disability, we are required to pay Ms. Plaza her compensation for the balance of the term and other benefits, including a pro rata portion of the bonus that would have been paid to her, and her obligations under her non-competition provision terminate. Since Ms. Plaza’s employment contract provides for a discretionary bonus, unless the compensation committee shall have provided for a bonus to Ms. Plaza prior to the termination of her employment without cause, Ms. Plaza would not be entitled to any bonus payment.
 
The employment agreements with both Elizabeth Plaza and Nélida Plaza provide that during the term of the agreement and for two years thereafter, the executive will not, directly or indirectly engage in a competing business or solicit any customer or seek to persuade any customer to reduce the amount of business it does with us or seek to persuade any employee to leave our employ.
 
We entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Morera pursuant to which we pay Mr. Morera an annual salary of $80,000. The agreement has a one-year term, which we may extend for up to two years. We granted Mr. Morera stock options to purchase 90,000 shares of common stock at the fair market value on the date of grant. Mr. Morera’s employment agreement has a non-competition provision pursuant to which he agrees that during the term of the agreement and for one year thereafter, Mr. Morera will not, directly or indirectly engage in a competing business or solicit any customer or seek to persuade any customer to reduce the amount of business it does with us or seek to persuade any employee to leave our employ.
 
Consulting Agreement
 
On January 26, 2006, we entered into a one-year consulting agreement with Dov Perlysky, pursuant to which we agreed to pay Mr. Perlysky a 5% commission on business generated by Mr. Perlysky’s efforts.
 
2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan
 
In October 2005, our board of directors adopted, and in April 2006, our stockholders approved, the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, covering 2,500,000 shares of common stock. The 2005 plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-qualified options, stock grants, stock appreciation rights and other equity-based incentives to employees, including officers, and consultants. The 2005 Plan is to be administered by a committee of independent directors. In the absence of a committee, the plan is administered by the board of directors. Independent directors are not eligible for discretionary options. However, each newly elected independent director receives at the time of his or her election, a five-year option to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock at the market price on the date of his or her election. In addition, the plan provides for the annual grant of an option to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock on the first trading day of January in each year, commencing January 2007. The options to directors have a term of five years and become exercisable cumulatively as to 50% of the shares subject to the option six months from the date of grant and, as to the remaining 50%, 18 months from the date of grant. Pursuant to this provision, on January 25, 2006, options to purchase 25,000 shares at $.7344 per
 
-33-

share, being the fair market value on the date of grant, were automatically granted to Messrs. Kirk Michel, Howard Spindel and Irving Wiesen.
 
Options intended to be incentive stock options must be granted at an exercise price per share which is not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and may have a term which is not longer than ten years. If the option holder holds 10% of our common stock, the exercise price must be at least 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant and the term of the option cannot exceed five years. As of October 31, 2006, there were options to purchase 1,348,090 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.7344 per share, including options to purchase 90,000 shares of common stock which we granted to Manuel O. Morera, our chief financial officer.
 
Option holders do not recognize taxable income upon the grant of either incentive or non-qualified stock options under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. When employees exercise incentive stock options, they will not recognize taxable income upon exercise of the option, although the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the common stock on the date of exercise is included in income for purposes of computing their alternative minimum tax liability, if any. If certain holding period requirements are met, their gain or loss on a subsequent sale of the stock will be taxed at capital gain rates. Generally, long-term capital gains rates will apply to their full gain at the time of the sale of the stock, provided that they do not dispose of the stock made within two years from the date of grant of the option or within one year after your acquisition of such stock, and the option is exercised while they are employed by us or within three months of the termination of their employment or one year in the event of death or disability, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. Employees who are residents of Puerto Rico are subject to the Puerto Rico Code, which may be different from tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code.
 
In general, upon the exercise a non-qualified option, the option holder will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price of the option and the fair market value of the shares on the date he or she exercises the option. Subject to certain limitations, we may deduct that amount as an expense for federal income tax purposes. In general, when the holders of shares issued on exercise of a nonqualified stock option sell their shares, any profit or loss is short-term or long-term capital gain or loss, depending upon the holding period for the shares and their basis in the shares will be the fair market value on the date of exercise.

Except as otherwise indicated each person has the sole power to vote and dispose of all shares of common stock listed opposite his name. Each person is deemed to own beneficially shares of common stock which are issuable upon exercise or conversion of currently convertible securities. Currently convertible securities are warrants or options or convertible securities which are exercisable or convertible within 60 days of June 30, 2006. The beneficial ownership of each person named is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under these rules, a person is deemed to beneficially own the total number of shares of common stock which he or she owns plus the number of shares of common stock which are issuable upon exercise of currently exercisable securities. The percentage ownership of each person is the percentage that the number of shares beneficially owned by that person bears to the sum of (a) the outstanding common stock plus (b) the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of those currently convertible securities that are owned by that stockholder.
 
The shares owned by San Juan Holdings, Inc. include (a) 3,010,600 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants and (b) 275,724 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of a warrant held by RD Capital Group, Inc., a broker-dealer and an affiliate of San Juan Holdings.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
On January 25, 2006, we acquired Plaza from Elizabeth Plaza, as the sole stockholder of Plaza. At the closing, we paid Ms. Plaza $10,000,000 and issued to Ms. Plaza 1,150,000 shares of common stock. In addition, we will pay Ms. Plaza three payments, each in the amount of $2,750,000, on January 25, 2007, 2008 and 2009. As a condition to closing, Plaza was required to have a net tangible book value of not less than $5,500,000, of which at least $2,000,000 was to be in cash, as of November 30, 2005, with the excess to be paid to Ms. Plaza. The amount due to Ms. Plaza under this provision was $88,161 and was paid on June 15, 2006. Pursuant to the merger agreement, we were required to reimburse Ms. Plaza for income tax which she paid on our income from December 1, 2005 until January 24, 2006. This amounted to $125,227 and was paid on June 15, 2006.
 
San Juan Holdings represented Plaza and Elizabeth Plaza in connection with the reverse acquisition. For such services, we issued 600,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock, with an exercise price of $.06 per share, to San Juan Holdings. In our private placement of series A preferred stock and warrants, San Juan Holdings purchased three units. The purchase price for the three units was $750,000. The broker, which is an affiliate of San Juan Holdings, waived the commission and the non-accountable expense allowance with respect to such sales, and as a result, San Juan Holdings purchased the three units for a net payment of $652,500. The three units were comprised of 75,000 shares of series A preferred stock and warrants to purchase 510,600 shares of common stock. The shares of series A preferred stock became converted into 1,021,200 shares of common stock. We also issued 919 shares of common stock to San Juan Holdings as a result of our failure to filing the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part in a timely manner. We also paid an affiliate of San Juan Holdings a broker’s commission and non-accountable expense allowance of $195,000 for sales made to other purchasers in the private placement, and we issued to the affiliate three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 275,724 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.7344 per share.
 
KEMA Advisors, Inc., of which Kirk Michel, a director, is managing director, purchased one unit, consisting of 25,000 shares of series A preferred stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 170,200 shares of common stock for $250,000. The shares of series A preferred stock became converted into 340,400 shares of common stock. We also issued 306 shares of common stock to KEMA Advisors for our failure to file the registration statement in a timely manner. KEMA Advisors is a selling stockholder.
 
In January 2006, we acquired certain assets of a United States based company that performs consulting services for the pharmaceutical and biotech industries from Mark Fazio for $300,000. The acquired assets include a client list and a validation compliance service business. The purchase price was paid in three installments, each in the amount of $100,000. At the time of the purchase we had no relationship with Mr. Fazio, and he was subsequently elected as executive vice president and chief operating officer. He served in those capacities until March 31, 2006.
 
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
Our authorized capitalization consists of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001 per share, and 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share.
 
Common Stock
 
Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and are entitled to share in such dividends as the board of directors, in its discretion, may
 
-36-

declare from funds legally available. In the event of liquidation, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate ratably in the assets remaining after payment of liabilities.
 
Our directors are elected by a plurality vote. Because holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, holders or a single holder of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock present and voting at an annual stockholders meeting at which a quorum is present can elect all of our directors. Our stockholders have no preemptive or other rights to subscribe for or purchase additional shares of any class of stock or of any other securities.
 
The transfer agent for our common stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company.
 
Preferred Stock
 
The board of directors is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, which may be issued in series from time to time with such designations, rights, preferences and limitations as the board of directors may declare by resolution. The rights, preferences and limitations of separate series of preferred stock may differ with respect to such matters as may be determined by the board of directors, including, without limitation, the rate of dividends, method and nature of payment of dividends, terms of redemption, amounts payable on liquidation, sinking fund provisions (if any), conversion rights (if any) and voting rights. The potential exists, therefore, that additional shares of preferred stock might be issued which would grant dividend preferences and liquidation preferences to preferred stockholders over common stockholders. Unless the nature of a particular transaction and applicable statute require such approval, the board of directors has the authority to issue shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control without any further action by stockholders.
 
Investor Warrants
 
In connection with our January 2006 private placement, we issued warrants to purchase 3,999,700 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.10 per share and warrants to purchase an additional 3,999,700 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.65 per shares. These warrants have a term which expires five years from the closing date and are callable by us if the closing price of our common stock is at least twice the exercise price of the warrants for 20 consecutive trading days. The warrants became exercisable when we filed our restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
 
Other Warrants
 
As of December 31, 2005, warrants to purchase 1,600,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.06 per share were outstanding. These warrants are exercisable until January 16, 2014, and the holders have cashless exercise rights. The holders of these warrants have the same registration rights as are granted to Elizabeth Plaza with respect to the 1,150,000 shares of common stock issued to her pursuant to the merger agreement.
 
At the closing of the acquisition of Plaza we issued to San Juan Holdings warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.06 per shares. The warrants are exercisable until January 16, 2014. San Juan Holding has the same registration rights as are granted to Elizabeth Plaza with respect to the 1,150,000 shares of common stock issued to her pursuant to the merger agreement.
 
Broker-Dealer Warrants
 
At the closing of the reverse acquisition we issued to broker-dealers who assisted us in our January 2006 private placement, three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,439,892 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.7344 per shares. The holders of the warrants have piggyback registration rights for the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, which will include a standard underwriters’ right to exclude shares, commencing six months after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Delaware Law Provisions
 
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law statute. Section 203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A “business combination” includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within the prior three years did own, 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock.
 
Our certificate of incorporation contains certain provisions permitted under Delaware General Corporation Law relating to the liability of directors. The provisions eliminate a director’s liability for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty, except in certain circumstances where such liability may not be eliminated under applicable law. Further, our certificate of incorporation contains provisions to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law.
 
Penny-Stock Rules
 
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions, and is not listed on the a registered stock exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market (although the $5.00 per share requirement may apply to Nasdaq listed securities) or has net tangible assets in excess of $2,000,000, if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years, or $5,000,000, if the issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years; or has average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years.
 
As a result, our common stock is subject to rules that impose additional sales practice 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 purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also disclose the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect your ability to sell our securities in the secondary market and the price at which you can sell our common stock.
 
According to the SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
 
 
•
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
 
 
•
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
 
 
•
“Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;
 
 
•
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
 
 
-38-

 
•
The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
 
Purchasers of penny stocks may have certain legal remedies available to them in the event the obligations of the broker-dealer from whom the penny stock was purchased violates or fails to comply with the above obligations or in the event that other state or federal securities laws are violated in connection with the purchase and sale of such securities. Such rights include the right to rescind the purchase of such securities and recover the purchase price paid for them.
 
Because our stock is a “penny stock” we do not have the safe harbor protection under federal securities laws with respect to forward-looking statement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholder of
Plaza Consulting Group, Inc.:
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of PLAZA CONSULTING GROUP, INC. as of October 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholder’s equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards as established by the Auditing Standards Board (United States) and in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over the financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant use of estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Plaza Consulting Group, Inc. as of October 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations, and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

PHARMA-BIO SERV, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Nine-Month Periods Ended July 31, 2006 and 2005
And the Years Ended October 31, 2005 and 2004
(Information for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005 is unaudited)

 
NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation
 
Pharma-Bio Serv, Inc. (“Pharma-Bio”) is a Delaware corporation organized on January 14, 2004 under the name Lawrence Consulting Group, Inc. (“Lawrence”). Pharma-Bio is the parent company of Plaza Consulting Group, Inc. (“Plaza”), a Puerto Rico corporation, which operates in Puerto Rico under the name of Pharma Serv and is engaged in providing technical compliance consulting services primarily to the pharmaceutical, chemical and biotechnology industries. Pharma-Bio and Plaza are collectively referred to as the “Company.”

On January 25, 2006, Pharma-Bio acquired Plaza in a transaction which is accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Although Pharma-Bio, then known as Lawrence, is the company that made the acquisition, for accounting purposes, Plaza is treated as the acquiring company. As a result, the financial statements reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Plaza prior to January 25, 2006 and the combined operations of Pharma-Bio and Plaza from and after January 25, 2006.
 
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
On February 22, 2006, Pharma-Bio changed its fiscal year to the fiscal year ended October 31 which is Plaza’s fiscal year. The change in fiscal year is reflected in the Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended January 31, 2006. The change of fiscal year results from the acquisition of Plaza, which was accounted for as a reverse acquisition.
 
The unaudited interim financial statements for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005 presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Regulation S-B pertaining to interim financial statements and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals which, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows . Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
 
Share Distribution
 
On January 24, 2006, Pharma-Bio effected a two-for-one share distribution with respect to its common stock pursuant to which Pharma-Bio issued one share of common stock for each share outstanding on the record date, January 24, 2006. All share and per share information gives retroactive effect to this share distribution.
 
Reverse Acquisition
 
On January 25, 2006, pursuant to a plan and agreement of merger (the “Plaza Agreement”) dated as of October 31, 2005, among Pharma-Bio, Plaza Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pharma-Bio (“Acquisition Company”), Plaza and Elizabeth Plaza, the sole stockholder of Plaza, Pharma-Bio acquired Plaza. The acquisition was effected by the merger of Acquisition Company into Plaza. Pursuant to the Plaza Agreement, Ms. Plaza, as the sole stockholder of Plaza, received at the closing $10,000,000 plus 1,150,000 shares of Pharma-Bio’s common stock. In addition, Ms. Plaza will receive three payments, each in the amount of $2,750,000, payable on January 25, 2007, 2008 and 2009.
 
At the closing, all of the present officers and directors of Pharma-Bio resigned from their respective positions, except that Mr. Dov Perlysky, who was president and a director of Pharma-Bio, resigned as an officer, but continued as a director. At the closing, Pharma-Bio elected four directors, including Ms. Plaza. The other three are independent directors.

PHARMA-BIO SERV, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Nine-Month Periods Ended July 31, 2006 and 2005
And the Years Ended October 31, 2005 and 2004
(Information for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005 is unaudited)
 
Pursuant to the Plaza Agreement, at the closing, Pharma-Bio issued 600,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $.06 per share to San Juan Holdings, Inc., the investment banker for Plaza and Ms. Plaza. Pharma-Bio provided certain demand and piggyback registration rights to Ms. Plaza and San Juan Holdings covering the shares of common stock issued to them at the closing and the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued to San Juan Holdings.
 
As a condition to closing, Plaza was required to have a net tangible book value of not less than $5,500,000, of which at least $2,000,000 was in cash, as of November 30, 2005. Subject to the requirement that Plaza have at least $2,000,000 in cash as of November 30, 2005, the purchase price was to be adjusted upward or downward depending on the net tangible book value, determined as provided in the Plaza agreement. This provision resulted in an additional payment to Ms. Plaza in the amount of $88,161, which was paid during the third quarter of 2006.
 
The Plaza Agreement provides that Plaza, rather than Ms. Plaza, is responsible for the income tax from December 1, 2005 through the closing date, which was January 25, 2006. Because of the status of Plaza as an N Corporation under the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code, Plaza’s net income from December 1, 2005 to January 24, 2006 is taxed to Ms. Plaza. The income tax payable by Ms. Plaza for Plaza’s taxable income for said period amounts to $125,227. Plaza reimbursed Ms. Plaza the $125,227 during the third quarter 2006. The $88,161 payment described in the preceding paragraph and the $125,227 payment described in this paragraph are treated as additional payments on account of the purchase price of the Plaza stock from Ms. Plaza.
 
Pharma-Bio raised the funds necessary to make the $10,000,000 payment due to Ms. Plaza through the private placement of units consisting of shares of a series A preferred stock and warrants to purchase 7,999,400 common stock. The series A preferred stock was automatically converted into 15,998,800 shares of common stock upon an increase in Pharma-Bio’s authorized common stock. See Note C.
 
The acquisition of Plaza and the private placement resulted in a change of control of Pharma-Bio. As a result of the reverse acquisition accounting treatment, Plaza is deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition because former owners of Plaza, together with the purchasers in the private placement who purchased the series A preferred stock and warrants in connection with the acquisition of Plaza, gained control of Pharma-Bio. Effective on the acquisition date, Pharma-Bio’s balance sheet includes the assets and liabilities of Plaza and its equity accounts have been recapitalized to reflect the equity of Pharma-Bio. The financial statements of the Company for periods prior to January 25, 2006, reflect only the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Plaza.
 
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
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 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 these estimates.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding obligations under capital leases and amounts due affiliate): cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, are considered reasonable estimates of fair value due to the short period to maturity.
 
F-8

PHARMA-BIO SERV, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Nine-Month Periods Ended July 31, 2006 and 2005
And the Years Ended October 31, 2005 and 2004
(Information for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005 is unaudited)

 
Management believes, based on current rates, that the fair value of its obligations under capital leases and amounts due to affiliate approximates the carrying amount.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenues in the month when services are rendered to customers. Revenue is primarily derived from time and materials contracts (representing approximately 90% of total revenues), where the clients are charged for the time, materials and expenses incurred on a particular project, and to a lesser extent, from fixed-fee contracts or from “not to exceed” contracts (approximately 10% of total revenues). In the case of fixed-fee contracts, which mostly are short-term contracts, revenue is recognized based on the percentage that the services rendered bears to the estimated services to be performed over the contract. If the Company determines that a fixed-fee or “not to exceed” contract will result in a loss, the Company recognizes the estimated loss in the period in which such determination is made.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable are recorded at their estimated realizable value. Accounts are deemed past due when payment has not been received within the stated time period. The Company’s policy is to review individual past due amounts periodically and write off amounts for which all collection efforts are deemed to have been exhausted. Bad debts are accounted for using the direct write-off method whereby an expense is recognized only when a specific account is determined to be uncollectible. The effect of using this method approximates that of the allowance method.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach method of accounting for income taxes. This method measures deferred income taxes by applying enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts on the financial statements. The resulting deferred tax assets or liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in tax laws as they occur. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
 
Plaza, from its inception until January 24, 2006, was covered under the provisions of Subchapter N of Subtitle A of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code (the “Puerto Rico Code”), which is similar to Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code in that its taxable income is taxed to the stockholders and therefore there is no income tax liability for that period. As a result of the completion of the reverse acquisition, Plaza and Pharma-Bio are no longer eligible for treatment as a Subchapter N corporation. See Note F.
 
Although Ms. Plaza is responsible for the taxes on the Plaza's taxable income for the period from December 1, 2005 to January 24, 2006, pursuant to the Plaza Agreement, the Company agreed to reimburse Ms. Plaza for the income taxes applicable to said taxable income. The reimbursement amounts to $125,227 and was paid on June 15, 2006.

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Major renewals and betterments that extend the life of the assets are capitalized, while expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred

Stock-based Compensation
 
Through the nine-month period ended July 31, 2006, the Company has elected to use the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock options issued to employees under its stock option plans in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations whereby the amount of stock-based compensation expense is calculated as the difference between the fair market value and the exercise price on the date of issuance. For purposes of pro forma disclosures the amount of stock-based compensation is calculated using the fair value method of accounting for stock options issued to employees. The Company’s pro forma information is as follows:

The options to purchase 4,125 shares of Plaza’s common stock are equivalent options to purchase 776,186 shares of Pharma-Bio stock options based on the following:

There were no additional Plaza options issued subsequent to October 31, 2004. None of the Plaza options were exercised prior to the reverse acquisition transaction.
 
Income Per Share of Common Stock
 
Basic income per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted income per share includes the dilution of common stock equivalents. Pursuant to reverse acquisition accounting treatment, the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the computation of basic income per share was derived by weighting (i) for the period prior to the reverse acquisition transaction, the number of shares outstanding represented the 1,150,000 shares received by the former stockholder of Plaza and the 600,000 shares received by San Juan Holdings, Inc., and (ii) for the period after the transaction, the number of shares outstanding represented the shares of Pharma-Bio that are outstanding. Diluted income per share includes the dilution of common equivalents. Accordingly, the convertible preferred stock and the stock warrants were deemed to be outstanding from the date of issuance to the end of the reporting period, except for stock warrants issued to the investment banker for Plaza and Ms. Plaza as a result of the reverse acquisition, which were deemed to be outstanding through all periods prior to the reverse acquisition.
 
The weighted average common shares outstanding (basic and diluted) were calculated using the treasury stock method for the respective periods.
 
NOTE B - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

1. In June 2006, The FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Earlier application of the provisions of this Interpretation is encouraged if the enterprise has not yet issued financial statements, including interim financial statements, in the period this Interpretation is adopted. Management does not expect that the application of this standard will have any effect on the Company's results of operations or its financial condition.
 
2. In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47 “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 clarifies that the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in FASB Statement No. 143 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and (or) method of settlement. Thus, the timing and (or) method of settlement may be conditional on a future event. Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The fair value of a liability for the conditional asset retirement obligation should be recognized when incurred, generally upon acquisition, construction or development and (or) through the normal operation of the asset. Uncertainty about the timing and (or) method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. FASB Statement 143 acknowledges that in some cases, sufficient information may not be available to a reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset obligation. This interpretation also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The provisions of this interpretation are effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005 Management does not expect that the application of this standard will have any effect on the Company’s results of operations or its financial condition.
 
3. In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 153 “Exchanges of Non-Monetary Transactions - an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29.” The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions,” is based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured based on the

fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however included certain exceptions to that principle. This Statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of this Statement are effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after December 16, 2004. The provisions of this Statement should be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect that the adoption of FASB Statement No. 153 will have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.
 
4. In December 2004, the FASB published Statement No. 123R requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transaction be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Statement No. 123R covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements, including share option restricted plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. Statement No. 123(R) replaces FASB Statement No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Statement No. 123, as originally issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, that Statement permitted entities the option of continuing to apply the guidance in Opinion No. 25, as long as the footnotes to the financial statements disclosed what net income would have been had the preferable fair-value-based method been used.
 
This Statement is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period of the first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2005. One of the effects of the application of FASB123R is to treat the value (as properly determined) of the options as compensation to the grantees, thus increasing the Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses.
 
5. In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154 “Accounting for Changes and Errors Corrections.” This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20 “Accounting Changes” and FASB Statement No. 3 “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle.
 
This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When its is impracticable to determine the period specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retroactive application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in statement of financial position) for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. This Statement shall be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect that the adoption of FASB Statement No. 154 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
NOTE C - CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS
 
On January 25, 2006, contemporaneously with the consummation of the acquisition, Pharma-Bio sold, in a private placement, 47 units, each unit consisting of 25,000 shares of series A preferred stock, warrants to purchase 85,100

shares of common stock at $1.10 per share and warrants to purchase 85,100 shares of common stock at $1.65 per share. In the private placement, Pharma-Bio issued an aggregate of 1,175,000 shares of series A preferred stock (which were convertible into an aggregate of 15,998,800 shares of common stock), warrants to purchase 3,999,700 shares of common stock at $1.10 per share, and warrants to purchase 3,999,700 shares of common stock at $1.65 per share, to 42 accredited investors. Pharma-Bio paid brokerage commissions of 10% of the gross purchase price and an aggregate non-accountable expense allowance of 3% of the gross purchase price with respect to the units sold. In certain cases, the broker waived the commission and non-accountable expense allowance, and the investor paid the purchase price less the commission and non-accountable expense allowance. The purchase price for the 47 units sold was $11,750,000. Broker-dealers waived commission and non-accountable expense allowance with respect to $628,750, Pharma-Bio paid commissions and non-accountable expense allowances totaling $898,750, and Pharma-Bio issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,439,892 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $.7344 per share and a term of three years.
 
Each share of series A preferred stock was automatically converted into 13.616 shares of common stock upon the filing of a certificate of amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation which increased the authorized capital stock to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 50,000,000 shares of common stock. Pharma-Bio amended and restated its certificate of incorporation on April 25, 2006, and the series A preferred stock was converted into 15,998,800 shares of common stock on that date.
 
The subscription agreement pursuant to which the series A preferred stock and warrants were issued required Pharma-Bio to file a registration statement within 60 days after the effective date of the merger between Plaza and Plaza Acquisition Corp. The effective date of the merger was January 25, 2006, therefore, the 60-day term expired on March 26, 2006. Since Pharma-Bio failed to file the registration statement by that date, Pharma-Bio was required to issue .0003 shares of common stock for each share of common stock issued upon conversion of the series A preferred stock for each day of delay. Pharma-Bio was three days late, therefore, 14,401 shares of common stock were issued to the former holders of the series A preferred stock.
 
The warrants issued in the private placement expire five years from the closing date and are callable by Pharma-Bio if the closing price of the common stock is at least twice the exercise price of the warrants for twenty (20) consecutive trading days.

NOTE E - OTHER ASSETS
 
At July 31, 2006, non-current other assets include the following:
     
Intangible assets:
      
Covenant not to compete, net of accumulated amortization of $13,333

Covenant not to compete represents the portion of the payment made in connection with the purchase of the Plaza stock that was allocated to a non-competition covenant. Under this agreement, the sole stockholder of Plaza agreed not to compete with the Company for a period of five years. This amount is amortized on the straight-line method over the term of the non-competition covenant (5 years).
 
Customer-related intangible assets consist mainly of a customer list which Plaza acquired on January 9, 2006 along with certain other assets from a business which performs in the United States consulting services similar to those performed by the Company in Puerto Rico. The business was owned by an individual who was the Company’s executive vice president and chief operating officer during February and March 2006. The total assets were acquired for $300,000, of which $150,000 were allocated to the customer-related intangible assets. The purchase price was paid in three installments, each in the amount of $100,000. The value of the customer list is being amortized on the straight-line method over its estimated useful life of 3 years.
 
All of the intangibles assets were originated during the nine-month period ended July 31, 2006, therefore, there was no amortization of intangible assets in prior periods. The amortization expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 amounted to $42,500.
 
NOTE F - INCOME TAXES
 
The Company’s taxable income is subject to the Puerto Rico income tax at the 20% to 39% rates provided by the 1994 Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code, as amended. However, on August 1, 2005, Puerto Rico Act No. 41 was approved, which imposes an additional 2.5% special tax to all corporations and partnerships having a net taxable income over $20,000. The Act is effective for taxable years commencing after December 31, 2004 and ending on or before December 31, 2006, therefore, the Company’s maximum effective tax rate will be 41.5% for its fiscal year ending on October 31, 2006.  The maximum effective tax rate for all other years will be 39%.
 
Provision for income tax is computed at statutory rates applied to income calculated in accordance with the accounting practices described herein and as shown in the financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.

Because Plaza was treated as an N Corporation under the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code during the years ended October 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from November 1, 2005 through January 24, 2006, its income was taxed to its stockholder during those periods, and Plaza did not pay income tax. If income tax were paid at the statutory rate, Plaza’s net income would have been $1,363,642, or $0.17 per share (basic) and $0.08 per share (diluted), for the nine months ended July 31, 2006; $3,038,242, or $1.74 per share (basic) and $0.75 per share (diluted), for the nine months ended July 31, 2005; $3,897,993, or $2.23 per share (basic) and $0.96 per share (diluted), for the year ended October 31, 2005; and $3,503,142, or $2.00 per share (basic) and $0.87 per share (diluted), for the year ended October 31, 2004.

San Juan Holdings represented Plaza and Ms. Elizabeth Plaza in connection with the reverse acquisition. For such services, Pharma-Bio issued 600,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock, with an exercise price of $.06 per share, to San Juan Holdings. In Pharma-Bio’s private placement of series A preferred stock and warrants, San Juan Holdings purchased three units. The purchase price for the three units was $750,000. The broker, which is an affiliate of San Juan Holdings, waived the commission and non-accountable expense allowance with respect to such sales, and as a result, San Juan Holdings purchased the three units for a net payment of $652,500. Pharma-Bio also paid an affiliate of San Juan Holdings a broker’s commission and non-accountable expense allowance of $195,000 for sales made to other purchasers in the private placement, and Pharma-Bio issued to the affiliate three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 275,724 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.7344 per share.

Pursuant to the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code, the Company’s clients are required to withhold a percentage of its fees (usually 3%, but sometimes 7%) as withheld income tax and remit such amount to the Puerto Rico Department of the Treasury.  Such payment is treated as a payment on account to the Company’s income tax obligations.  Prior to January 25, 2006, Plaza was an N Corporation, and the Company’s taxable income was taxed to Ms. Plaza, as sole stockholder.  Accordingly, such withheld taxes were treated as a distribution to the Company’s stockholder since Ms. Plaza was the one entitled to take the credit for the income tax withheld by the Company’s clients in her personal income tax return.  The amounts withheld prior to January 25, 2006 are recognized in the financial statements as noncash distribution.
 
NOTE H - COMMITMENTS
 
1. Contracts
 
On January 25, 2006, the Company entered into employment agreements with Elizabeth Plaza and Nélida Plaza. The agreement with Elizabeth Plaza provides that Ms. Plaza will serve as president and chief executive officer of the Company for a period of 18 months, for which she will receive a salary at the annual rate of $250,000.

NOTE I - STOCK OPTIONS
 
In October 2005, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and on April 25, 2006, the Company’s stockholders approved, the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, covering 2,500,000 shares of common stock. The 2005 plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-qualified options, stock grants, stock appreciation rights and other equity-based incentives to employees, including officers, and consultants. The 2005 plan is to be administered by a committee of independent directors. In the absence of a committee, the plan is administered by the board of directors. Independent directors are not eligible of discretionary options. The plan provides that each newly elected independent director automatically receives at the time of his or her election, a five-year option to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock at the market price on the date of his or her election. In addition, the plan provides for the annual grant of an option to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock on the first trading day of January of each year, commencing January 2007. The options to directors have a term of five years and become exercisable cumulatively as to 50% of the shares subject to the option six months from the date of grant and as to the remaining 50% 18 months from the date of grant. Pursuant to this provision, on January 25, 2006, options to purchase 25,000 shares at $.7344 per share, being the fair market value on the date of grant, were automatically granted to each of the three independent directors. Options intended to be incentive stock options must be granted at an exercise price per share which is not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and may have a term which is not longer than ten years. If the option holder holds 10% of our common stock, the exercise price must be at least 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant and the term of the option cannot exceed five years.
 
Pursuant to the Plaza Agreement, all outstanding options issued by Plaza were terminated, and the Company granted incentive stock options to purchase an aggregate of 1,400,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.7344 per share to the holders of such terminated Plaza options pursuant to the Company’s 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Of the total options to purchase 1,400,000 shares of common stock, options to purchase 776,186 shares of common stock were granted to 18 employees whose options to purchase Plaza common stock were cancelled. The options to purchase the remaining 623,814 shares of common stock were granted both to the 18 former holders of Plaza options and to 23 additional Plaza employees.

NOTE J - CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
 
The Company’s cash balances are maintained in a high quality bank checking account. Management deems all its accounts receivables to be fully collectible, and, as such, does not maintain any allowances for uncollectible receivables.

The Company’s revenues are concentrated in the pharmaceutical industry in the island of Puerto Rico, and a small number of customers have accounted for a significant percentage of its revenue. Four customers accounted for 10% or more of revenues during the nine-month period ended July 31, 2006, two of which also accounted for more than 10% of revenues during the nine-month period ended July 31, 2005 and the years ended October 31, 2005 and 2004. The following table sets forth information as to revenues and percentage of revenues for these periods (dollars in thousands) for the Company’s principal customers, all of which are pharmaceutical companies:

Schering-Plough, Lilly Del Caribe, GlazoSmithKline and Johnson & Johnson had outstanding balances at July 31, 2006 representing 21%, 12%, 40% and 9%, respectively, of the total receivables.
 
The Company assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its trade accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. However, the loss or significant decline in business from any of its major customers could have a material effect upon its revenue and income.
 
In June 2006, one of the Company’s largest customers announced the closing of one of its two facilities in Puerto Rico and the reduction of staff in the second. The accompanying statements of operations include revenues from the closed facility as follows:

The receivables at July 31, 2006, from the closed facility amounted to approximately $760,000. The Company does not anticipate any problem in connection with the collection of said outstanding balance.
 
NOTE K - RETIREMENT PLAN
 
The Company has a qualified profit sharing plan in accordance with the provision of Section l165(a)(3)(A) of the Puerto Rico Code, for employees who meet certain age and service period requirements. The Company makes contributions to this plan as required by the provisions of the plan document. Contributions for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005 were $30,926 and $28,108, respectively. Contributions for the years ended October 31, 2005 and 2004 were $35,908 and $29,467, respectively.
