EXPLANATORY NOTE

Scio Diamond Technology Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Amendment No. 1”) for the Company’s quarterly period ended September 30, 2011, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 14, 2011 (the “Original Report”), to reflect the restatement of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011 and certain other matters. This Amendment No. 1 contains a revised Part I, Item 1. Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures, as well as Part II, Item 5. Other Information, certain material agreements, and updated certifications from the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

On August 31, 2011, the Company acquired certain assets of Apollo Diamond, Inc. (“ADI”) (the “ADI Asset Purchase”), consisting primarily of diamond growing machines and intellectual property related thereto. Also, on June 5, 2012, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of Apollo Diamond Gemstone Corporation (“ADGC”) (the “ADGC Asset Purchase”), consisting primarily of cultured diamond gemstone-related know-how, inventory, and various intellectual property.

As previously reported, each of ADI and ADGC had originally contracted in March 2011 to complete the ADI Asset Purchase and the ADGC Asset Purchase with a different, privately held, Nevada company which also had the name Scio Diamond Technology Corporation (“Private Scio”). In connection with obtaining the stockholder approvals for those transactions and the redemption of the outstanding ADI and ADGC shares for $0.01 per share, each of ADI and ADGC arranged for Private Scio to agree to issue warrants to purchase common stock of Private Scio, exercisable for $0.01 per share, to stockholders of ADI and ADGC that were accredited investors and that agreed to have their shares of ADI and ADGC redeemed by such companies. As previously disclosed, on August 5, 2011, Private Scio sold its name to the Company in exchange for 13 million shares of the Company’s common stock. On August 31, 2011, the Company completed the ADI Asset Purchase. In September 2011, the Company delivered a letter to certain former ADI and ADGC stockholders stating that, in connection with the Company’s acquisition of assets from ADI and ADGC, the Company would provide a right to buy Company common stock for $0.01 per share to such stockholders (the “ADI Shareholder Purchase Rights” or “ADI subscription rights” and the “ADGC Shareholder Purchase Rights,” respectively) that were accredited investors, provided certain information to the Company regarding their intentions to purchase such shares of Company common stock, and accepted payment from ADI or ADGC, as applicable, for the repurchase of such stockholders’ shares in ADI and ADGC, respectively. However, the Company did not have a definitive written agreement with ADGC with respect to the ADGC Asset Purchase at that time, and based on advice of its then counsel, the Company concluded that it did not have an obligation to issue the common stock purchase documents or an obligation to disclose the proposed sale of such common stock until the Company reached a definitive agreement with ADGC to complete the ADGC Asset Purchase.

The Company has reviewed and further analyzed its previously completed ADI Asset Purchase and the background of the ADGC Transaction, and the Company has concluded that it was obligated to complete the ADI Shareholder Purchase Rights offering at the time of the ADI Asset Purchase on August 31, 2011 and that it was obligated to complete the ADGC Shareholder Purchase Rights offering at the time of the ADGC Asset Purchase on June 5, 2012. After extensive review of the above events, the Company concluded that the ADI Shareholder Purchase Rights offering should have been treated as part of the purchase price of the ADI assets pursuant to the ADI Asset Purchase and that, as a result, the Company should restate its quarterly financial statements and related Form 10-Q filings for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011 as a result.

This Amendment No. 1 speaks as of the filing date of the Original Report and does not modify disclosures in the Original Report, including the nature and character of such disclosures, to reflect events occurring or items discovered after November 14, 2011, except for disclosures that reflect the restatements and that update certain disclosures affected by events related to the restatements and for disclosures related to certain material contracts for which disclosure was not previously provided. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to November 14, 2011, the filing date of the Original Report, including any amendments to those filings as described above.

Any reference to facts, circumstances or other matters at a “current” date refer to such facts and circumstances as of the filing date of the Original Filing.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business

Scio Diamond Technology Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada as Krossbow Holding Corp. on September 17, 2009. The original business plan of the Company was focused on offsetting C02 emissions through the creation and protection of forest-based carbon “sinks.” The Company has since abandoned its original business plan and restructured its business to focus on man-made diamond technology development and commercialization.

On July 13, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to authorize a 2-for-1 forward split of its issued and outstanding common shares, whereby every one (1) old share of common stock was to be exchanged for two new shares of the Company’s common stock, effective on August 5, 2011. As a result, once the forward split was declared effective by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the issued and outstanding shares of common stock increased from 3,200,000 prior to the forward split to 6,400,000 following the forward split. The forward split shares are payable upon surrender of certificates to the Company’s transfer agent. The accompanying financial statements and notes give retroactive effect to the forward split for all periods presented.

Going Concern

The Company has not generated any revenue to date and consequently its operations are subject to all risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. For the period from inception, September 17, 2009, through September 30, 2011, the Company has accumulated losses of ($568,464).

These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management has responded to these circumstances by taking the following actions:

·	Ongoing solicitation of investment in the Company in the form of a private placement of common shares to accredited investors.

In the opinion of management, these actions will be sufficient to provide the Company with the liquidity it needs to meet its obligations and continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will successfully implement these plans. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Accounting Basis

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Scio Diamond Technology Corporation (formerly Krossbow Holding Corp.) (referred to herein as “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and for the period September 17, 2009 (inception) through September 30, 2011. All interim amounts have not been audited, and the results of operations for the interim periods herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K Annual Report of Scio Diamond Technology Corporation (formerly Krossbow Holding Corp.) for the year ended March 31, 2011.

Development Stage Company

The financial statements have been prepared following the requirements of GAAP for development-stage companies. A development-stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there have been no significant revenues therefrom.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

Net loss per share is presented under two formats: basic net loss per common share, which is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and diluted net loss per common share, which is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and the weighted average dilutive potential common shares outstanding, computed using the treasury stock method. Currently, for all periods presented, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share as the inclusion of weighted average shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants would be anti-dilutive.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is on a straight line basis beginning at the time it is placed in service, based on the following estimated useful lives:

Years

Machinery and equipment 3–15

Furniture and fixtures 3–10

Engineering equipment 5–12

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease or the life of the asset (generally three to five years).

Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Equipment has not been placed into service as of September 30, 2011.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, such as acquired in-process research and development costs, are considered to have an indefinite useful life until such time as they are put into service at which time they will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their economic or legal useful life. Management evaluates indefinite life intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and on an interim basis if events or changes in circumstances between annual impairment tests indicate that the asset might be impaired. The ongoing evaluation for impairment of its indefinite life intangible assets requires significant management estimates and judgment. Management reviews definite life intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. There were no impairment charges in 2011.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prescribed by the accounting literature contains three levels as follows:

Level 1— Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2— Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3— Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

In addition, GAAP requires the Company to disclose the fair value for financial assets on both a recurring and non-recurring basis. At September 30, 2011, the Company has issued ADI subscription rights valued at $11,040,000 for the purchase of assets disclosed in Note 2 measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The fair value of the ADI subscription rights was determined based on an appraisal which used the Black-Scholes model whose assumptions were considered by management to be a level 3 input.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents including restricted cash, accounts receivable, other assets and trade accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Restatement

As previously reported, on August 31, 2011, the Company acquired certain assets of Apollo Diamond, Inc. (“ADI”) (the “ADI Asset Purchase”), consisting primarily of diamond growing machines and intellectual property related thereto. Also as previously announced, on June 5, 2012, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of Apollo Diamond Gemstone Corporation (“ADGC”) (the “ADGC Asset Purchase”), consisting primarily of cultured diamond gemstone-related know-how, inventory, and various intellectual property.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Guidance on Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08 gives entities testing goodwill for impairment the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of a reporting unit in Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required. Otherwise, further testing would not be needed. ASU 2011-08 will be effective for fiscal and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standard will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

In July 2012 the FASB issued new ASU No. 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (the revised standard). The revised standard is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of testing indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill for impairment. It allows companies to perform a "qualitative" assessment to determine whether further impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets is necessary, similar in approach to the goodwill impairment test. The revised standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this new standard in 2013.

There are currently no other accounting standards that have been issued that will have a significant impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.

NOTE 2 – ASSET PURCHASE

The Company purchased certain assets from Apollo Diamond Inc. (“ADI”) on August 31, 2011, consisting primarily of diamond growing machines and certain intellectual property related thereto. The purchase price consisted of an aggregate of $2,000,000 in a combination of cash and a promissory note bearing interest at 4.00% annually and due and owing in full on September 1, 2012, plus the right for certain current and former stockholders of ADI to acquire approximately 16 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share (the “ADI Offering”). The Company has estimated the fair value of these ADI subscription rights to acquire shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share to be $0.69 per right. At the date of the transaction, the fair value of these rights was $11,040,000, and this amount was credited to additional paid-in capital. The fair value of the ADI subscription rights was determined using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: estimated volatility of 100%, risk free interest rate of 0.1%, and an expected life of 1 year.

The following table reflects our purchase price allocation of the assets:

Machinery and Equipment	$	943,685
Reactors		2,311,818
In-Process Research and Development		9,784,497
Total	$	13,040,000

The Company completed a third-party valuation to determine the fair value of the assets acquired. The final amounts allocated to the assets acquired are based upon the results of that valuation appraisal.

NOTE 3 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets consist of the following:


	Life	September 30, 2011		March 31, 2011
In-process research and development	Indefinite	$	9,784,497	$ -

NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE

In conjunction with the purchase of certain assets from ADI on August 31, 2011, the Company entered into a promissory note bearing interest at 4.00% annually and due and payable in full on September 1, 2012. As of September 30, 2011, $1,000,000 of the promissory note to ADI remained unpaid.

NOTE 5 – CAPITAL STOCK

The authorized capital of the Company is 75,000,000 common shares with a par value of $ 0.001 per share.

In December 2009, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock, post 2-for-1 forward split, at a price of $0.002 per share for total cash proceeds of $4,000.

In January through March 2010, the Company issued 4,400,000 shares of common stock, post 2-for-1 forward split, at a price of $0.005 per share for total cash proceeds of $22,000.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company issued 18,717,570 shares of common stock. 3,200,000 shares were issued in a 2-for-1 forward split from Krossbow Holding Corp. shareholders. As part of a private placement, 2,517,570 shares were issued at a price of $0.70 per share for total cash proceeds, net of fees, of $1,679,064. 13,000,000 shares were issued at a market value price of $0.02 per share purchasing the name “Scio Diamond Technology Corporation” (“the Scio name”) for a total purchase price of $260,000. The Company purchased the Scio name from a privately-held Nevada corporation (“Private Scio”) that also had the Scio name. The Company and Private Scio are entities under common control. Accounting Standards Codification 805-50-30-5 states that when accounting for a transfer of assets between entities under common control, the entity that receives the asset shall initially measure the recognized asset at the carrying amount in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of the transfer. As the Scio name acquired had no carrying value, the value of the shares given to purchase the Scio name were recorded as a deemed distribution so that the accounting basis of the Scio name remained at zero. In addition, the Company issued 16 million subscription rights with an exercise price of $.01 per share to certain current and former stockholders of ADI as part of the asset purchase discussed in Note 2. The Company has 21,917,570 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2011.

NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTIES

The Company incurred expenses of $56,094 for professional and consulting services provided by AdamsMonahan, LLP, a firm in which our board members, Edward S. Adams and Michael R. Monahan, are partners, for the six months ended September 30, 2011 and for the period September 17, 2009 (inception) through September 30, 2011. For the six months ended September 30, 2011, the Company did not incur expenses for professional and consulting services provided by AdamsMonahan, LLP.

On August 5, 2011, the Company executed the Scio Asset Purchase Agreement with another privately-held Nevada corporation that also had the name “Scio Diamond Technology Corporation” (“Private Scio”). Under the terms of the Scio Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased the name “Scio Diamond Technology Corporation” and acquired other rights from Private Scio for 13,000,000 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company. Our directors Edward S. Adams and Michael R. Monahan were directors of Private Scio and Joseph D. Lancia was an officer of Private Scio, and they owned 31.5%, 31.5% and 15.4%, respectively, of Private Scio. At the time that the Scio Asset Purchase Agreement was executed, our directors Edward S. Adams and Michael R. Monahan had control of the Company. Edward S. Adams and Michael R. Monahan each acquired, directly or indirectly, 4,100,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the Scio Asset Purchase Agreement, and Joseph D. Lancia acquired 2,000,000 shares pursuant to the Scio Asset Purchase Agreement.

The Company purchased certain assets from ADI on August 31, 2011, consisting primarily of diamond growing machines and intellectual property related thereto. The purchase price consisted of an aggregate of $2,000,000 in a combination of cash and a promissory note bearing interest at 4.00% annually and due and owing in full on September 1, 2012, plus the right for certain current and former stockholders of ADI to acquire approximately 16 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share. These rights were valued at $11,040,000 in total using the Black-Scholes model. Both Mr. Adams, in an executive role, and Mr. Monahan previously served in various capacities with ADI through early 2011.

In January 2012, the Company issued 187,500 shares of common stock at a share price of $0.70 for total cash proceeds of approximately $94,499.

As of March 31, 2012, the Company had 370,014 warrants outstanding with exercise prices of $.70 per share. The warrants expire in 2016 and 2017. The warrants were issued by the Company as compensation for consulting work and are valued at $.52 per warrant using the Black-Scholes model.

Effective January 9, 2012, Charles G. Nichols was appointed Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

Beginning in April 2012 through June 30, 2012, the Company issued 2,538,750 units each consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant for the purchase of a share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.60 for a unit price of $0.80 for total net cash proceeds of approximately $1,999,920. As of the date of this filing, the total number of units issued is 4,453,750 for net cash proceeds of $3,522,760.

On May 7, 2012, the Company implemented equity compensation arrangements for our executive officers and several key employees. These included grant agreements with certain of its executive officers pursuant to which such executive officers were granted options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Under certain of the agreements, the Company granted options with each such option being subject to the achievement of certain performance milestones by the Company. Under certain of the agreements, the Company also granted options with each of these options vesting immediately upon execution of such agreements. The options are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code. The exercise price for each option is $0.70 per share. The options expire on the last business day preceding the three year anniversary of the grant date unless fully exercised or terminated earlier.

On June 5, 2012, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Apollo Diamond Gemstone Corporation (“ADGC”) (the “ADGC Asset Purchase”), consisting primarily of cultured diamond gemstone-related know-how, inventory, and various intellectual property, in exchange for $100,000 in cash and the opportunity for certain current and former stockholders of ADGC that are accredited investors to acquire up to approximately 1 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share (the “ADGC Offering”) with the intent that ADI Offering be conducted substantially concurrently with the ADGC Offering (collectively, the “ADI/ADGC Stockholder Offering”). The ADI/ADG Stockholder Offering began in June and is expected to close on or about August 30, 2012.

On July 24, 2012, the Company announced that it had signed a purchase order with an international supplier of precision diamond cutting tool products pursuant to which the Company will be providing CVD single crystal diamond in specified wafer sizes. The purchase order calls for near term Company sales of an estimated minimum of $1,000,000, with such sales to occur in the second and third fiscal quarters of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013, and under certain circumstances and depending upon, among other things, ongoing demand as estimated by the end product manufacturer, could produce aggregate sales by the Company of up to an estimated $5,000,000 during the first 24 months of the order.

On August 3, the Company entered into amended and restated employment agreements and change in control agreements with our executive officers. In addition, the Company authorized equity compensation arrangements for our executive officers and adopted an amended and restated Code of Ethics and Business Conduct.

The Company, certain directors and others were served with a complaint in August 2012 filed by a former shareholder of Apollo Diamond, Inc. (ADI). The complaint alleges certain security and other law violations in connection with the ADI Asset Purchase (see note2). The claimant seeks damages to be established at trial and has not specified monetary damages.

In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

On August 13, 2012, the Company named Bernard M. McPheely to the Board of Directors.

GENERAL

Restatements and Corporate History

We were incorporated on September 17, 2009 in the State of Nevada under the name Krossbow Holdings Corporation. Krossbow's original business plan was focused on offsetting CO2 emissions through the creation and protection of forest-based carbon “sinks.” Krossbow planned to assess carbon resource potentials, prescribe and implement ecosystem restorations to develop those resources, and thereby generate carbon offset products. However, we have since abandoned that original business plan and restructured our business to focus on man-made diamond technology development. We decided to acquire existing technology and to seek to efficiently and effectively produce man-made diamond. In connection with this change in business purpose, Krossbow changed its name to Scio Diamond Technology Corporation to reflect its new business direction.

On August 5, 2011, Edward S. Adams and Michael R. Monahan, both of whom now serve on the Company’s Board of Directors, acquired control of the Company through the purchase of two million (2,000,000) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock from Jason Kropp, Krossbow’s sole director and executive officer at that time, in accordance with a common stock purchase agreement among Mr. Kropp, Mr. Adams and Mr. Monahan. Concurrently with the execution of the stock purchase agreement, Mr. Kropp resigned from all positions with Krossbow, including, but not limited to, that of President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Secretary and Director.

On August 5, 2011, the Company executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Scio Asset Purchase Agreement”) with another privately-held Nevada corporation that also had the name “Scio Diamond Technology Corporation” (“Private Scio”). Under the terms of the Scio Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased the name “Scio Diamond Technology Corporation” and acquired other rights from Private Scio for 13,000,000 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company. Mr. Adams and Mr. Monahan were directors of Private Scio, and Mr. Lancia was an officer of Private Scio, and they owned 31.5%, 31.5% and 15.4%, respectively, of Private Scio. Edward S. Adams and Michael R. Monahan each acquired, directly or indirectly, 4,100,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the Scio Asset Purchase Agreement, Joseph D. Lancia, our Chief Executive Officer, acquired 2,000,000 shares pursuant to the Scio Asset Purchase Agreement.

Page - 16

On August 31, 2011, the Company acquired certain assets of Apollo Diamond, Inc. (“ADI”) (the “ADI Asset Purchase”), consisting primarily of diamond growing machines and intellectual property related thereto, for which the Company paid ADI an aggregate of $2,000,000 in a combination of cash and a promissory note to ADI with a September 1, 2012 maturity date (which promissory note had a remaining outstanding balance of $1,000,000 as of September 30, 2011). In connection with the ADI Asset Purchase, the Company also agreed to provide certain current and former stockholders of ADI that are accredited investors the right to acquire up to approximately 16 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share (the “ADI Offering”). After extensive review of the above events, the Company concluded that the ADI Offering should have been treated as part of the purchase price of the ADI assets pursuant to the ADI Asset Purchase and that, as a result, the Company should restate its quarterly financial statements and related Form 10-Q filings for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011 as a result. Accordingly, the purchase price for the ADI assets was an aggregate of $2,000,000, in a combination of cash and a promissory note, plus the ADI subscription rights.

As of the date of the Original Filing, the Company intended to acquire (and it subsequently did acquire on June 5, 2012) substantially all of the assets of Apollo Diamond Gemstone Corporation (“ADGC”), consisting primarily of cultured diamond gemstone-related know-how, inventory, and various intellectual property, in exchange for $100,000 in cash and the opportunity for certain current and former stockholders of ADGC that are accredited investors to acquire up to approximately 1 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share (the "ADGC Offering").

Business Overview

The Company's primary mission is the development of profitable and sustainable commercial applications for its planned mass production of high quality, single-crystal diamond in a laboratory environment using its Diamond Technology and patented Mosaic production approach. The Company intends to target both the commercial/industrial and gemstone markets and anticipates opportunities in areas including, but not limited to, diamond gemstone jewelry, power switches, optoelectronics, cutting devices, semi-conductors and life sciences.

As of the date of the Original Filing, the Company had not generated any revenue from the sale of diamond or diamond materials nor did it have firm orders placed by potential customers. However, if the Company is able to produce high-quality, relatively low-cost diamond and diamond materials in reliable quantities, then such products may be incorporated into existing applications and technologies and spur new technologies. In such case, the Company expects numerous product development and licensing opportunities for the Company. The unique physical properties of diamond combined with consistent availability made possible by our Diamond Technology and patented Mosaic production approach lead to potential market opportunities in electronics, optics, communications, and computing.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We have adopted various accounting policies that govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We describe our significant accounting policies in the notes to our audited financial statements filed with our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

Some of the accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by us that have a material impact on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities. We consider these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgment and assumptions we use are based on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions we make, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates and could materially affect the carrying values of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

The following is a summary of the more judgmental estimates and complex accounting principles, which represent our critical accounting policies.

Development Stage Company

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to development-stage companies. A development-stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there have been no significant revenues therefrom.

Asset Purchases

The Company purchased certain assets from ADI on August 31, 2011, consisting primarily of diamond growing machines and certain intellectual property related thereto. The purchase price consisted of an aggregate of $2,000,000 in a combination of cash and a promissory note bearing interest at 4.00% annually and due and owing in full on September 1, 2012, plus the right for certain current and former stockholders of ADI to acquire approximately 16 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share. The Company has estimated the fair value of these subscription rights to acquire shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share to be $0.69 per right for a total of $11,040,000 for these rights.

The following table reflects our purchase price allocation of the assets:

Machinery and Equipment	$	943,685
Reactors		2,311,818
In-Process Research and Development		9,784,497
Total	$	13,040,000

We believe that the acquisition of these assets from ADI was not the acquisition of a “business” within the definition set forth in GAAP or Rule 11-01(d).

Property, Plant and Equipment

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is on a straight line basis beginning at the time it is placed in service, based on the following estimated useful lives:

Years

Machinery and equipment 3–15

Furniture and fixtures 3–10

Engineering equipment 5–12

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease or the life of the asset (generally three to five years).

After initial recognition, tangible assets acquired that are used in commercialization activities are accounted for in accordance with their nature. FASB ASC 360 requires that these assets be classified as indefinite-lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated commercialization efforts, at which time the asset would be considered to be placed in service and the entity would determine the assets’ appropriate useful lives. In consideration thereof, we believe that the useful life of the reactors (the primary tangible assets) is indefinite until such time as the production and effective commercialization of the production of the reactors (lab-grown diamond) occurs or is more definite. The mechanical components of the reactors have relatively long lives, upwards of ten (10) years, but the capacity limitations of the reactors may render them obsolete from an efficiency perspective as technology in the industry continues to evolve. We, therefore, plan to reassess or redetermine the useful lives of such assets on an annual basis. The lives of the remainder of the tangible assets will be considered based on their technological and functional obsolescence and depreciated accordingly once they are placed in service.

Intangible Assets

Regarding intangible assets including the patents, the Company believes that, due to the inability to identify unique, specific commercialization potential with any degree of certainty, it is appropriate to consider the entire portfolio “In Process Research and Development,” or “IPRD.” The Company believes that the IPRD has alternative future uses. At such time that production begins and commercialization of separate components of the intellectual property portfolio are then marketed to varying distribution channels, segmentation and bifurcation of the IPRD asset to finite-lived commercialized intellectual property assets will be considered. Applicable accounting guidance requires an indefinite life for IPRD assets until such time as the commercialization can be reasonably estimated at which time the assets will be available for their intended use At such time as those requirements are met, we believe that consideration of the legal life of the intellectual property protection should be of considerable importance in determining the useful life. Upon commercialization and determination of the useful life of the intellectual property assets, consideration will be given to the eventual expiration of the intellectual property rights underlying certain critical aspects of our manufacturing process.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to the Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2010

Our net loss for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 was ($526,286), compared to net losses of $(2,110) during the three months ended September 30, 2010. Our cumulative net loss since inception (September 17, 2009) through September 30, 2011 was ($568,464). Through September 30, 2011, we had not generated any revenue since inception.

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2011, we incurred total expenses of $542,464, compared to total expenses of $2,100 during the three months ended September 30, 2010. Since inception (September 17, 2009) through September 30, 2011, we have incurred total expenses of $579,521, which have generally related to corporate overhead, marketing, financial and administrative contracted services, such as legal and accounting, developmental costs, and expenses associated with the filing of our registration statement and other SEC filings.

We have not had any revenue to offset our expenses, and so, we have incurred net losses. Our net loss per share for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 was ($0.04) per share, compared to a net loss per share of ($0.00) for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 13,617,487 and 6,400,000, respectively, for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Six Month Period Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to the Six Month Period Ended September 30, 2010

Our net loss for the six-month period ended September 30, 2011 was ($531,407), compared to net losses of $(21,680) during the six months ended September 30, 2010. Our cumulative net loss since inception (September 17, 2009) through September 30, 2011 was ($568,464). Through September 30, 2011, we had not generated any revenue since inception.

During the six-month period ended September 30, 2011, we incurred total expenses of $539,963, compared to total expenses of $21,680 during the three months ended September 30, 2010. Since inception (September 17, 2009) through September 30, 2011, we have incurred total expenses of $579,521, which have generally related to corporate overhead, marketing, financial and administrative contracted services, such as legal and accounting, developmental costs, and expenses associated with the filing of our registration statement and other SEC filings.

We have not had any revenue to offset our expenses, and so, we have incurred net losses. Our net loss per share for the six-month period ended September 30, 2011 was ($0.05) per share, compared to a net loss per share of ($0.00) for the six months ended September 30, 2010. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 10,008,743 and 6,400,000, respectively, for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

At September 30, 2011, we had total assets of $13,585,400, compared to total assets of $933 at March 31, 2011. This increase in assets was primarily related to the ADI Asset Purchase which included indefinite lived intangible assets of $9,784,497 and fixed assets of $3,255,503. We had cash of $545,400 at September 30, 2011.

Total liabilities at September 30, 2011 were $1,408,800, compared to total liabilities of $11,990 at March 31, 2011. Total liabilities at September 30, 2011 were comprised primarily of notes payable and accounts payable.

Total shareholders’ equity was $12,176,600 at September 30, 2011, compared to ($11,057) at March 31, 2011. Shareholders’ equity increased during the period primarily due to the issuance of subscription rights in connection with the ADI Asset Purchase. Other components of the change in shareholders’ equity related to sales and issuances of common stock and net losses during the period.

CASH FLOWS

Operating Activities

As of September 30, 2011, we had not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. For the six-month period ended September 30, 2011, net cash flows used in operating activities were ($393,597), consisting primarily of a net loss of ($531,407), offset by an increase in accrued expenses of $148,867, compared to net cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2010 of ($25,902). Since inception (September 17, 2009) through September 30, 2011, net cash flows used in operating activities were ($427,154).

Investing Activities

For the six-month period ended September 30, 2011, net cash flows used in investing activities were ($1,000,000), consisting solely of the ADI Asset Purchase. Net cash flows used in investing activities were $0 for the six months ended September 30, 2010 and ($1,000,000) for the period from inception (September 17, 2009) to September 30, 2011.

Financing Activities

We have financed our operations primarily through advancements or the issuance of equity or debt securities. For the six-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, we generated $1,938,064 and $2,000, respectively, from financing activities. For the period from inception (September 17, 2009) to September 30, 2011, net cash flows provided by financing activities was $1,972,554, consisting primarily of proceeds from the sale of our common stock.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a combination of our existing funds and further issuances of securities. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business.

Existing cash is expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next fiscal quarter through December 31, 2011. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of sales of our common stock and warrants to acquire common stock. In connection with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) manufacturing operations; (ii) developmental expenses associated with a start-up business; and (iii) marketing expenses. We intend to finance these expenses with further issuances of securities. Thereafter, we expect we will need to raise additional capital and generate revenues to meet long-term operating requirements.

Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations.

MATERIAL COMMITMENTS AND ARRANGEMENTS

On August 31, 2011, the Company acquired certain assets of ADI, consisting primarily of diamond growing machines and intellectual property related thereto, for which the Company paid ADI an aggregate of $2,000,000 in a combination of cash and a promissory note to ADI with a September 1, 2012 maturity date (which promissory note had a remaining outstanding balance of $1,000,000 as of September 30, 2011). In connection with the ADI Asset Purchase, the Company also agreed to provide certain current and former stockholders of ADI that are accredited investors the right to acquire up to approximately 16 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share. The Company has estimated the fair value of these subscription rights to acquire shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share to be $0.69 per right for a total of $11,040,000 for these rights.

As of the date of the Original Filing, the Company intended to acquire (and it subsequently did acquire on June 5, 2012) substantially all of the assets of ADGC, consisting primarily of cultured diamond gemstone-related know-how, inventory, and various intellectual property, in exchange for $100,000 in cash and the opportunity for certain current and former stockholders of ADGC that are accredited investors to acquire up to approximately 1 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share.

The Company understands that most of the outstanding shares of ADI and ADGC were redeemed prior to and in anticipation of the Company’s purchase of assets from ADI and ADGC. Mr. Adams and his spouse owned approximately 2% of the common stock of ADI and 11% of the common stock of ADGC (prior to the stock repurchases by such companies in 2011). Neither Mr. Adams nor his spouse will participate in the ADI Offering or the ADGC Offering. Mr. Monahan held no stock of ADI and approximately 4% of the stock of ADGC (prior to the stock repurchases by ADGC in 2011). Mr. Monahan will not participate in the ADI Offering or the ADGC Offering. Mr. Adams and Mr. Monahan and their law firm have provided legal services to each of ADI, ADGC and the Company. Robert C. Linares, the Chairman of the Board of each of ADI and ADGC, who is also the largest stockholder of each of ADI and ADGC, is the father-in-law of Mr. Adams. Mr. R. Linares may purchase up to 250,000 shares of common stock of the Company as a former ADI stockholder in connection with the ADI Offering and ADGC Offering. Bryant R. Linares, a former executive officer of both ADI and ADGC, and the second largest stockholder previously of both ADI and ADGC, may purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company as a former ADI stockholder in connection with the ADI Offering. Mr. B. Linares is the brother-in-law of Mr. Adams.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In connection with the Original Report, the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the management team at that time, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2011. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

Subsequent to the evaluation made in connection with the Original Report and in connection with the restatement and filing of this Amendment No. 1, our current management team, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, re-evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2011 and concluded that, because of weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which have required the restatement of our financial statements for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2011, and the amendment of the Original Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2011.

In connection with the evaluation described above, the current management team identified material weaknesses as of September 30, 2011, in the following areas:

·	Lack of written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures.

·	Lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and functioning of required internal controls and procedures.

·	Insufficient communication processes in connection with period end financial disclosure and reporting.

·	Due to our small size, limited segregation of duties in certain areas of our financial reporting and other accounting processes and procedures.

In March 2012, current management changed the Company’s outside counsel in an effort to improve the disclosure advice available to it.

Changes In Internal Control over Financial Reporting

After considerable effort, the current management of the Company was unable to determine the internal controls over financial reporting that were used prior to August 5, 2011, and, accordingly, is not able to assess whether there were changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2011 that have material affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Subsequent to September 30, 2011, the Company has been actively engaged in implementation and remediation efforts to address the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting as of September 30, 2011. These remediation efforts, outlined below, were specifically designed to address the material weaknesses identified by the Company’s management.

To further remediate such weaknesses, we hope to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending March 31, 2013:

·	Adding one or more independent directors and establishing an audit committee.

·	Refining our internal procedures, including our communication and data gathering processes in connection with period end financial disclosure and reporting.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On August 18, 2011, the Company filed a Form 8-K which stated that, as a result of the Scio Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company purchased the name “Scio Diamond Technology Corporation” and acquired other rights from Private Scio on August 5, 2011, the Company concluded that it was no longer a shell corporation as that term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company filed a Form 8-K/A on August 19, 2011 to update information provided in on our Form 8-K dated August 18, 2011, adding the footnote to the pro-forma. However, the Company has since determined that the August 5, 2011 transaction did not result in the Company ceasing to be a shell corporation as such term is defined under the applicable statutes and rules.

On August 31, 2011, the Company completed the ADI Asset Purchase, pursuant to which it acquired diamond growing machines and intellectual property related thereto from ADI, in exchange for an aggregate of $2,000,000 in a combination of cash and a promissory note to ADI with a September 1, 2012 maturity date, plus the ADI Shareholder Purchase Rights. Management has determined that, as a result of the ADI Asset Purchase, the Company was no longer a shell corporation as that term is defined under the applicable statutes and rules as of August 31, 2011. Disclosures required by Item 5.06 of Form 8-K as a result of the Company's August 31, 211 change in shell company status was previously reported in the 8-K filings on August 18 and 19, 2011, referenced above, which disclosures have been superseded contained in later SEC filings by the Company, and which disclosures are supplemented by the following disclosures.

As of August 31, 2011, the Company intended to acquire (and it subsequently did acquire on June 5, 2012) substantially all of the assets of ADGC, consisting primarily of cultured diamond gemstone-related know-how, inventory, and various intellectual property, in exchange for $100,000 in cash and the opportunity for certain current and former stockholders of ADGC that are accredited investors to acquire up to approximately 1 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in the event Seller receives an unsolicited bona fide offer or proposal for a Competing Transaction prior to the Closing and Seller’s Board of Directors concludes in good faith (after consultation with its outside financial and legal advisors) that such offer or proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal, then, Seller may, and may permit their subsidiaries and representatives to, take any Prohibited Transaction described in sub‐clauses (2) or (3) of clause (a) above (other than enter into any agreement); provided that (x) prior to providing any nonpublic information permitted to be provided pursuant to this sentence, Seller shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement with such third party on customary terms and which in any event is no less favorable to Seller than the confidentiality agreement entered into with Purchaser in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, and (y) concurrently with providing such information, Seller shall also furnish to Purchaser a copy of any confidential data or information being furnished to any third party pursuant to this Section to the extent not previously furnished to Purchaser.
