Item 1.   Business


Introduction


We were incorporated in California on February 1, 2000. We have conducted our operations since October 2003. We are a biopharmaceutical company that engages in the acquisition, licensing and commercialization of pharmaceutical products and technologies as well as homeopathic and ethical drugs for the management of pain, neurological disorders, cancer, autoimmune and infectious diseases. Homeopathic drugs are natural products that contain ingredients listed in the HPUS (Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States). An ethical drug is a licensed drug that has obtained Federal Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval after extensive pre-clinical and clinical testing. We seek strategic licensing partnerships to reduce the risks associated with the drug development process.


Our wholly owned subsidiary and drug discovery arm, ReceptoPharm, has carried out our homeopathic and drug discovery research and clinical development and has fully developed four homeopathic drugs for the treatmentrelief of pain:


·Nyloxin® and Nyloxin® Extra Strength
·Pet Pain-Away: an over-the-counter pain reliever designed to relieve pain in cats and dogs
·Luxury Feet: an over-the-counter pain reliever designed to relieve foot pain from high heels and stilettos

·

Cobroxin®, an over-the-counter pain reliever designed to treat moderate to severe (Stage 2) chronic pain; and

·

Nyloxin® and Nyloxin® Extra Strength: stronger versions of Cobroxin®

·

Pet Pain-Away: an over-the-counter pain reliever designed to treat pain in cats and dogs


Our business plan will continue its efforts to produce, market and distribute our CobroxinNyloxin®, Nyloxin®Pet Pain-Away and Pet Pain-AwayLuxury Feet branded products both domestically and internationally.


From October 2009 until December 31, 2015,2018, our operations centered on the marketing of Cobroxin® and(our discontinued product), Nyloxin® and Nyloxin® Extra Strength. In December of 2014, we launched Pet Pain-Away and began actively marketing the product. Through the sales of Cobroxin®, Nyloxin®, Nyloxin® Extra Strength and Pet Pain-Away we have earned accumulated net revenues of $291,302. During fiscal year 2015,2018, we earned revenues of $279,969$130,596, $89,166 of it was from sales of Nyloxin® and $11,333$41,430 of it was from sales of Pet Pain-Away. We have not yet marketed Luxury Feet.


Additionally, the Company has developed two drug candidates:


·RPI-78M, to treat neurological diseases and autoimmune diseases, including; Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Myasthenia Gravis; and
·RPI-MN, to treat viral diseases, including HIV/AIDS and Herpes.

The Company has developed proprietary therapeutic protein products primarily for the prevention and treatment of viral and neurological diseases, including Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and pain in humans. These potential products are subject to FDA approval.


We continue to identify biotechnology related intellectual property and companies with which we may potentially be able to enter into arrangements, agreements or to potentially acquire.


Industry Overview of the Pain Market


Pain is the most common symptom for patients seeking medical attention. Acute and chronic pain affects large numbers of Americans, with approximately 100 million U.S. adults burdened by chronic pain alone. The annual national economic cost associated with chronic pain is estimated to be $560-635 billion. (Institute of Medicine,Relieving Pain in America, 2011).


TheAccording to the American Academy of Pain Medicine (AAPM), chronic pain affects approximately 1.5 billion people worldwide, on account of the high prevalence of cardiovascular disorders, cancer, and diabetes. Algomedix estimated the global marketsales for the treatment of chronic pain management products, including prescription and nonprescription analgesics, reached over $50were $60 billion in 2009 according2015; and according to an August 2010 articlethe market research report published inby P&S Intelligence, the journalNature Reviews Drug Discovery.The currentglobal chronic pain treatment market for pain drugs is expected to continue to grow according to BCC Research, areach $105.9 billion by 2024. The market research firm that believesgrowth is primarily driven by the aging baby boomerrising prevalence of chronic conditions, surging geriatric population, will continue to trigger growth in this market resulting in a $44.3 billion US market size by 2020.and increasing government support toward chronic pain management.

Our Products


CobroxinNyloxin®/Nyloxin® Extra Strength


We offer CobroxinNyloxin®,/Nyloxin® Extra Strength as our over-the-counter (OTC) pain reliever that has been clinically proven to treat moderate to severe (Stage 2) chronic pain. Cobroxin

Nyloxin® is not currently being marketed. In August 2009, we completed an agreement with XenaCare Holdings (“XenaCare”) granting it the exclusive license to market and distribute CobroxinNyloxin® within the United States. In mid-October 2009, XenaCare began selling Cobroxin® online through its product website, www.Cobroxin.com.




3



In November 2009, XenaCare began selling Cobroxin® to brick-and-mortar retailers, including distribution to CVS in March 2010 and Walgreens in May 2010. On April 1, 2011, we notified our Cobroxin® Distributor, XenaCare that they were in breach of our agreement. As a result of this, the distribution agreement was terminated effective April 10, 2011. XenaCare had a large stock of the product that they had ordered from us and we had allowed them to continue to market their existing inventory of Cobroxin®. In October 2011 we discontinued their website at www.Cobroxin.com. All current traffic to that website is now redirected to www.Nyloxin.com. It is our plan to eventually re-launch Cobroxin®.


Cobroxin® wasExtra Strength are available as a two ounce topical gel for treating joint pain and pain associated with arthritis and repetitive stress, and as a one ounce oral spray for treating lower back pain, migraines, neck aches, shoulder pain, cramps, and neuropathic pain. Both the topical gel and oral spray are packaged and sold as a one-month supply.


CobroxinNyloxin® offersand Nyloxin® Extra Strength offer several benefits as a pain reliever. With increasing concern about consumers using opioid and acetaminophen-based pain relievers, Cobroxinthe Nyloxin® providesproducts provide an alternative that does not rely on opiates or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, otherwise known as NSAIDs, for itstheir pain relieving effects. CobroxinNyloxin® also has a well-defined safety profile. Since the early 1930s, the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) of CobroxinNyloxin®, Asian cobra venom, has been studied in more than 46 human clinical studies. The data from these studies provide clinical evidence that cobra venom provides an effective treatment for pain with few side effects and has the following benefits:


·safe and effective;
·all natural;
·long-acting;
·easy to use;
·non-narcotic;
·non-addictive; and
·analgesic and anti-inflammatory.

·

all natural;

·

long-acting;

·

easy to use;

Potential side effects from the use of CobroxinNyloxin® are rare, but may include headache, nausea, vomiting, sore throat, allergic rhinitis and coughing.


Nyloxin®/Nyloxin® Extra Strength


The primary difference between Nyloxin® and Nyloxin® Extra Strength are similar to Cobroxin® because they both contain the same active ingredient as Cobroxin®, Asian cobra venom. The primary difference between Nyloxin®, Nyloxin® Extra Strength and Cobroxin® is the dilution level of the venom. The approximate dilution levels for Nyloxin®, and Nyloxin® Extra Strength and Cobroxin® are:are as follows:


Nyloxin®


·Topical Gel: 30 mcg/mL
·Oral Spray: 70 mcg/mL

·

Topical Gel: 30 mcg/mL

In December 2009,2011, we began marketing Nyloxin®Nyloxin® and Nyloxin®Nyloxin® Extra Strength at www.nyloxin.com. Both Nyloxin®Nyloxin® and Nyloxin® Nyloxin®Extra Strength are packaged in a roll-on container, squeeze bottle and as an oral spray. Additionally, Nyloxin®Nyloxin® topical gel is available in an 8 ounce pump bottle.


In December of 2013, we announced an agreement with MyNyloxin.com for the exclusive rights to market and distribute Nyloxin® in the Network Marketing channel. In January of 2014, we announced the first product shipments to the MyNyloxin Independent Entrepreneurs (MIEs). In November of 2014, MyNyloxin.com changed their name to Lumaxa. Lumaxa provides a business opportunity to their Distributors to earn commissions on the sale of our products through their Distributor groups. Lumaxa conducts webinars, conference calls and live meetings to support recruitment of new distributors as well as to provide product and business education.

We are currently marketing Nyloxin® and Nyloxin® Extra Strength as treatments for moderate to severe chronic pain. Nyloxin® is available as an oral spray for treating back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint pain, migraines, and neuralgia and as a topical gel for treating joint pain, neck pain, arthritis pain, and pain associated with repetitive stress. Nyloxin® Extra Strength is available as an oral spray and gel application for treating the same physical indications, but is aimed at treating the most severe (Stage 3) pain that inhibits one’s ability to function fully.

Nyloxin® Military Strength


In December 2012, we announced the availability of Nyloxin® Military Strength for sale to the United States Military and Veteran's Administration. Over the past few years, the U.S. Department of Defense has been reporting an increase in the use and abuse of prescription medications, particularly opiates. In 2009, close to 3.8 million prescriptions for pain relievers were written in the military. This staggering number was more than a 400% increase from the number of prescriptions written in the military in 2001. But prescription drugs are not the only issue. The most common and seemingly harmless way to treat pain is with non non–steroidal, anti-inflammatoryanti–inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). But there are risks. Overuse can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn, ulcers and internal bleeding. In severe cases chest pain, heart failure, kidney dysfunction and life-threateninglife–threatening allergic reactions can occur. It is reported that approximately 7,600 people in America die from NSAID use and some 78,000 are hospitalized. Ibuprofen, also an NSAID has been of particular concern in the military. The terms “Ranger Candy” and “Military Candy” refer to the service men and women who are said to use 800mg doses of Ibuprofen to control their pain. But when taking anti-inflammatoryanti–inflammatory Ibuprofen in high doses for chronic pain, there is potential for critical health risks; abuse can lead to serious stomach problems, internal bleeding and even kidney failure. There are significantly greater health risks when abuse of this drug is combined with alcohol intake. Our goal is that with Nyloxin®, we can greatly reduce the instances of opiate abuse and overuse of NSAIDS in high risk groups like the US military. The Nyloxin®Military Strength represents the strongest version of Nyloxin® available and is approximately twice as strong as Nyloxin® Extra Strength. We are working with outside consultants to register Nyloxin® Military Strength and the other Nyloxin® products for sale to the US government and the various arms of the military as well as the Veteran's Administration. To date,In February of 2018, Nyloxin was added to the Federal Supply Schedule but was subsequently removed the following week without an adequate explanation. We have continued to work with our consultants to understand why our products were improperly removed the Federal Supply Schedule and when we have been unablemay be able to get our products ontore-listed on the Federal Supply Schedule for eventual sales to governmental agencies or to the US Military, but will continue these efforts. In February of 2016, we announced the addition of Thomas W. Northrop as the Company'sSenior Commercial Development Officer. Mr. Northrop, working with Tri-State Capital Partners, LLC, a New York-based management advisory & investment firm, will be spearheading our efforts to gain approval with the US government buying agencies and the Veterans Administration.Military.


International Sales

We are pursuing international drug registrations in Canada, Mexico, India, Australia, New Zealand, Central and South America and Europe. Since European rules for homeopathic drugs are different than the rules in the US, we cannot estimate when this process will be completed. On March 25, 2013 we announced the publication of our patent and trademark for Nyloxin® in India. We are currently working with potential Distributorsactively seeking new distribution partners in India. In February, 2015 we completed the first test shipments to India through our importer, S.Zhaveri Pharmakem. We plan to begin active sales and marketing in India by the end of 2016. On April 30, 2015 we announced that we had received notification of the acceptance of Nyloxin® by the China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Healthcare (CPAM). This process was successfully conducted by the Vancouver Commodities Group (VCG) that had been hired by Nutra Pharma to begin the process of identifying and vetting potential distributors in China. With this approval, we have been working with several groups to find a large distributor for our products in the People's Republic of China. We expect to announce a distribution partner by the third quarter of 2016.

On May 14, 2015 we announced that we had engaged the Nature's Clinic to begin the process of regulatory approval of our Company's Over-the-CounterOver–the–Counter pain drug, Nyloxin® for marketing and distribution in Canada. The Nature’s Clinic has already begun setting up their Chatham, Ontario warehouse and expectwarehouse. Due to lack of funding, we have waited to complete the approval process to begin distributing Nyloxin® by mid-2016. and expect to re-engage in the process in 2021.

On February 1, 2018 we announced a Distribution Agreement with the Australian company, Pharmachal PTY LTD to market and distribute Nyloxin® in Australia and New Zealand. Pharmachal has begun the registration process with the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration). At this time, we do not know if our products will qualify for TGA registration and cannot provide a timeline for the eventual distribution in Australia.

Additionally, we plan to complete several human clinical studies aimed at comparing the ability of Nyloxin® Extra Strength to replace prescription pain relievers. We have provided protocols to several hospitals and will provide details and timelines when those protocols have been accepted. We cannot provide any timeline for these studies until adequate financing is available.


To date, our marketing efforts have been limited due to lack of funding. As sales increase, we plan to begin marketing more aggressively to increase the sales and awareness of our products.


Pet Pain-AwayPain–Away™


During June of 2013, we announced the launch of our new homeopathic formula for the treatment of chronic pain in companion animals, Pet Pain-Away.Pain–Away™. Pet Pain-AwayPain–Away™ is a homeopathic, non-narcotic, non-addictive, over-the-counternon–narcotic, non–addictive, over–the–counter pain reliever, primarily aimed at treating moderate to severe chronic pain in companion animals. It is specifically indicated to treat pain from hip dysplasia, arthritis pain, joint pain, and general chronic pain in dogs and cats. The initial product run was completed in December of 2014 and launched through Lumaxa Distributors on December 19, 2014.




5



In May of 2016, we signed a license agreement to begin the process of creating an infomercial (Direct Response) campaign for Pet Pain–Away™. In November of 2016, we announced the license agreement with DEG Productions for the marketing and distribution of Pet Pain–Away globally. DEG has the ability to earn the exclusive distribution rights for the product by reaching certain sales milestones. DEG has created their own website (www.getpetpainaway.com) and began airing commercials in December of 2016.

In February of 2020, we took back the marketing of Pet Pain-Away and are currently selling the product on Amazon.com and through www.petpainaway.com

Luxury Feet

In June of 2017 we announced the creation of Luxury Feet; an over–the–counter pain reliever and anti–inflammatory product that is designed for women who experience pain or discomfort due to high heels and stilettos. We are currently seeking distributors for Luxury Feet and expect the sales rollout in mid 2021.

Equine Nyloxin®Pain-Away (Formerly Equine Nyloxin)


In October of 2013, we announced that we were in the process of launching the newest addition to our line of homeopathic treatments for chronic pain,Equine Nyloxin®Nyloxin, a topical therapy for horses that is packaged as a two piece kit:Nyloxin® Topical Gel comprises Step 1 and a solution of DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide) comprises Step 2.. We havehad been working with trainers and veterinarians in the equine industry and have already identified distributors for the product. TheEquine Nyloxin®represents the Company's first topical solution for the animal market. The productEquine Nyloxin was rebranded as Equine Pain-Away and officially rolled into the market in October of 2019. Equine Pain-Away is now undergoing market evaluationbeing marketed through several retailers and is expected to be commercially available by the end of 2016.online at www.EquinePainAway.com.


Regulation


The active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in Cobroxin®, Nyloxin® and Nyloxin® Extra Strength,our over the counter products, Asian cobra venom, has an approved United States monograph under the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS), which allowed us to register them with the FDA as homeopathic drugs. A United States monograph is a prescribed formulation for the production of any drug or product that is recognized by law for a specific application and that may be introduced into commerce. The FDA requires this registration process to maintain full compliance of companies marketing and selling medicines classified as homeopathic. In August 2009, we successfully completed submission of final packaging and labeling to the FDA to begin selling our over-the-counter pain reliever, Cobroxin®. In December 2009, we completed our submission of final packaging and labeling to the FDA of Nyloxin® and Nyloxin® Extra Strength. In December 2016 we completed our submission of final packaging and labeling to the FDA of Pet Pain-Away.


On March 11, 2019 the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sent us a warning letter regarding the claims and marketing materials of our Nyloxin line of products. On April 10, 2019 we responded to the warning letter; addressing their concerns and outlining the actions that we have taken and will take to comply with their requests for changes. The response goes on to commit to the FDA that the company will make the changes necessary to properly and legally continue to market and distribute our products.

Manufacturing


ReceptoPharm oversees Cobroxin®Nyloxin’s and Nyloxin®’sPet Pain-Away’s manufacturing activities, both at its Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) certified facility and at a third-party manufacturing and bottling facility. ReceptoPharm is also responsible for acquiring appropriate amounts of Asian cobra venom required to manufacture Cobroxin® and Nyloxin®.and Pet Pain-Away.


Subject to availability of funds, ReceptoPharm also plans to begin additional clinical studies for our pain relievers. These studies will be designed to compare the efficacy of Nyloxin® Extra Strength to other prescription strength pain relievers. A ReceptoPharm study published in Toxicon, which is the journal of the International Society of Toxinology, showed that ReceptoPharm’s leading drug product for the treatment of pain (RPI-78) had pain-reducing effects that lasted four times as long as morphine without the negative side effects associated with opioid-based pain relievers. Another study published in the journal Neuropharmacology showed a new mechanism on the use of Alpha-Cobratoxin as a treatment for pain. Alpha-Cobratoxin is the main component of the cobra venom used in Nyloxin® and Cobroxin®.Pet Pain-Away.


6

The FDA requires those companies manufacturing homeopathic medicines to have their facilities certified as GMP. As of October 2005, ReceptoPharm’s manufacturing and laboratory facility has been fully compliant with its GMP certification. In March 2009, ReceptoPharm received an ISO Class 5 certification for its clean room facility. An ISO Class 5 certification is a type of classification granted for a clean room facility according to the number and size of particles permitted per volume of air. An ISO Class 5 clean room has at most, 3,500 particles per square meter.


Manufacturing CobroxinNyloxin® and Nyloxin®Pet Pain-Away entails a two-step process, the first of which consists of ReceptoPharm manufacturing the bulk raw materials and completing the dilution levels of Cobroxin®’s and Nyloxin®’sthe active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) as provided for in the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States, which is a compilation of continuously updated statements of Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia standards and monographs as recognized by that organization. Once this process is completed, the second step entails transport of raw materials to a third-party manufacturer that completes the final mixing, bottling and shipping processes.


We began limited manufacturing of Nyloxin® in November 2010. We scaled up manufacturing in the first quarter of 2011. Our production level is contingent upon product demand level and we can scale up as sales demand increases. We began manufacturing Pet Pain-Away in late 2014 and completed the first run of products for distribution on December 19, 2014.


Marketing and Distribution


In August 2009, we completed an agreement with XenaCare granting them the exclusive license to market and distribute Cobroxin®within the United States. To maintain this market exclusivity, XenaCare was required to meet certain minimum performance requirements. On April 1, 2011, we notified our Cobroxin® Distributor, XenaCare Holdings that they were in breach of our agreement. As a result of this, the distribution agreement was terminated effective April 10, 2011. XenaCare had a large stock of the product that they had ordered from us and we have allowed them to continue to market their existing inventory of Cobroxin®. In October 2011 we discontinued their website at www.Cobroxin.com. All current traffic to that website is now redirected to www.Nyloxin.com. It is our plan to eventually re-launch Cobroxin® with an eventual return to retail stores.

In December of 2013, we announced an agreement with MyNyloxin.com for the exclusive rights to market and distribute Nyloxin® in the Network Marketing channel. In November of 2014, MyNyloxin.com changed their name to Lumaxa. They provide a business opportunity to their Distributors to earn commissions on the sale of our products through their Distributor groups. In January of 2014, we announced the first product shipments to the MyNyloxin Independent Entrepreneurs (MIEs). Lumaxa conducts webinars, conference calls and live meetings to support recruitment of new distributors as well as to provide product and business education.

We are continuing our efforts to find strategic partnerships for the promotion, marketing, registration, licensing and sales of our products domestically and internationally.


Dependence on one or a Few Major Customers


With respect to Nyloxin®, Nyloxin® Extra Strength and Pet Pain-Away, we have been distributing the products online and to various retailers. We are seeking both domestic and international distributors for these products. It may be that a larger distributor may require exclusivity in the US or any particular foreign market. If so, we would be dependent on that distributor for those Nyloxin® sales. Currently, Lumaxa is the exclusive global Nyloxin® and Pet Pain-Away Distributor in the Network Marketing channel.

International Drug Registrations


We are continuing our efforts to complete the registration process internationally. On March 25, 2013 we announced the publication of our patent and trademark for Nyloxin® in India.  We are currently working with potential Distributors in India. In February, 2015 we completed the first test shipments to India through our importer, S.Zhaveri Pharmakem. We plan to begin active sales and marketingare actively seeking new distribution partners in India by the end of 2016.India. In April of 2015 we announced the engagement of the Vancouver Commodity Group to identify potential distribution partners in China. Later that month, we announced the acceptance of Nyloxin® by the China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Healthcare (CPAM). With this approval, we have been working with several groups to find a large distributor for our products in the People's Republic of China. WeOn May 14, 2015 we announced that we had engaged the Nature's Clinic to begin the process of regulatory approval of our Company's Over-the-Counter pain drug, Nyloxin® for marketing and distribution in Canada. The Nature’s Clinic has already begun setting up their Chatham, Ontario warehouse. Due to lack of funding, we have waited to complete the approval process to begin distributing Nyloxin® and expect to announcere-engage in the process in 2021. On February 1, 2018 we announced a distribution partner byDistribution Agreement with the third quarter of 2016.Australian company, Pharmachal PTY LTD to market and distribute Nyloxin® in Australia and New Zealand. Pharmachal has begun the registration process with the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration).


While many countries adopt similar regulation to the United States for registering homeopathic drugs, the international application process is more complex and may be lengthier. We will continue to seek qualified, well-funded distributors for the international distribution of Cobroxin® and, Nyloxin®.and Pet Pain-Away. At this time, we have no way of knowing when we may begin the process of marketing and distributing our products internationally as we navigate the regulatory process and seek qualified distributors.

ReceptoPharm – Research and Development


ReceptoPharm was engaged in the research and development of novel anticholinergic therapeutic protein products for the treatment of autoimmune and neurologic disorders, including Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and pain.

Drug Applications


We have set forth below a summary of ReceptoPharm’s proposed drugs and their potential applications.


Drug

Potential Applications

RPI-78MMS, AMN, Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Myasthenia Gravis (MG) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

RPI-MN

HIV, Herpes, general anti-viral applications

RPI-78

Pain, Arthritis

RPI-70

Pain


We believe that ReceptoPharm’s pharmaceutical products have a wide range of applications in a number of chronic, inherited and/or life-threatening viral, autoimmune and neuromuscular degenerative diseases, even though none of these products have FDA or other approval for the treatment of such diseases. These disorders target nerve cells, especially one specific type of cell receptor that is sensitive to the neurotransmitter,acetylcholine, which plays an important role in the transmission of nerve impulses at synapses and myoneural (muscle-nerve) junctions.


Primary Disease Targets


Through ReceptoPharm’s research program, our goal is to obtain required regulatory approvals of ReceptoPharm’s HIV, MS, and AMN products, so that they can be marketed. In September of 2015 we were granted Orphan Designation by the US-FDA for the treatment of Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis. We have also applied for Orphan drug status for Myasthenia Gravis. The Orphan designation may greatly reduce the costs of clinical trials and shorten the timeline to potential drug approval. ReceptoPharm secures confidentiality agreements prior to initiating contract research in order to protect any patentable opportunities.


Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infection


The analytic firm GBI Research reported in November 2012April 2014 that the HIV/AIDS therapeutics market reached $13.5$14.3 billion in 20112012 in seven top markets: the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Japan. GBI Research predicts these markets will continue to grow to reach $21.8$16.3 billion by 2018.2019. According to UNAIDS, an estimated 35.336.9 million people were living with HIV in 20122017 with 69%52% of all HIV sufferers in sub-Saharan Africa. There were 2.31.8 million new infections in 20122017 and 1.6 million940,000 people died of AIDS-related illnesses. Since the beginning of the epidemic, more than 7577.3 million people have contracted HIV and nearly 36 million have died of HIV-related causes. Growth in the HIV therapy market will continue to be driven by the rapidly growing HIV and AIDS population. In the absence of therapeutic intervention, the vast majority of individuals infected with HIV will ultimately develop AIDS, on average in about 10 years, which has a mortality rate approaching 100%. Experts say that the drugs currently available may extend life as much as 40 years, but all of these therapies have negative side effects and fail over time as the virus mutates. These facts make new therapies a necessity. The foregoing information was obtained from the World Health Organization website at www.who.int and the UNAIDS website at www.unaids.org.


To cause infection, HIV needs to gain entry into cells through the attachment to receptors on the cell membrane. These receptors are calledchemokine receptors. There are two principal types, CCR5 and CXCR4. Different HIV strains use one of these types. A single drug that would block all of the chemokine receptors (“tropism-independent”) could be more useful, for several reasons, than a mixture of molecules that would have to be used to do the same.


HIV infection therapy currently uses antiviral drug therapies that are associated with the virus’s attachment, fusion with and entry into the host cell. At the present time, there are 35-licensed antiretroviral drugs employed to combat HIV-1 infection and two licensed by the FDA that act as binding/entry inhibitory drugs.


New drugs and adjunct therapies with novel mechanisms of action or unique resistance profiles are needed in the fight against HIV. Constant innovation, in terms of efficacy, side effect profile and dosing are occurring. Current research and development for HIV is focused on adjunctive therapy, which when combined with existing HAART (Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy) regimens reduce side effects, enhance the efficacy of existing treatments and delay the progression of the HIV virus.

Both of ReceptoPharm’s drugs inhibited HIV replication in MAGI cells by 50-60% and peripheral mononuclear cells by 90% in testing conducted by Dr. Juan Lama of the La Jolla Institute for Molecular Medicine in San Diego, California. Separate Phase I studies by Cure Aids Now of Miami, Florida, were conducted by Dr. Jamal with orally and parentally administered RPI-78M in HIV patients confirmed safety, tolerability and provided preliminary evidence of efficacy.


RPI-MN demonstrated the ability to inhibit the replication of highly drug-resistant strains of HIV isolates. Drug resistance has become a critical factor in long-term management of HIV infection with some viral strains developing resistance in as little as 3 weeks.


Multiple Sclerosis (MS)


Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is thought to be an autoimmune disease that primarily causes central nervous system problems. In MS, the insulating fatty material surrounding the nerve fibers, also known as myelin, which functions to speed signaling from one end of the nerve cell to the other, is attacked by cells of the immune system causing problems in signal transduction. MS is the most common of demyelinating disorders, having a prevalence of approximately 1 per 1,000 persons in most of the United States and Europe. According to the Accelerated Cure Project for Multiple Sclerosis, a national nonprofit organization, 400,000 people in the US are affected by MS and another 22.1 million globally, with 10,000 new cases diagnosed in the US every year. According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, although MS occurs most commonly in adults, it is also diagnosed in children and adolescents. Estimates suggest that 8,000-10,000 children (up to 18 years old) in the United States have MS, and another 10,000-15,000 have experienced at least one symptom suggestive of MS. Studies suggest that two to five percent of all people with MS have a history of symptom onset before age 18.


People with MS may experience diverse signs and symptoms. MS symptoms may include pain, fatigue, cognitive impairment, tremors, loss of coordination and muscle control, loss of touch sensation, slurred speech and vision impairment. The course of the disease is unpredictable and for most MS patients, the disease initially manifests a “relapsing-remitting” pattern. Periods of apparent stability are punctuated by acute exacerbations that are sudden unpredictable episodes that might involve impaired vision, diminished ability to control a limb, loss of bladder control, or a great variety of other possible neurologic deficits. In relapsing-remitting MS, some or all of the lost function returns, however, the patient sustains an unceasing, often insidious, accumulation of neuronal damage. As the burden of neural damage grows, new lesions are more likely to produce irreversible impairment of function. Typically, about eight to fifteen years after onset, MS patients enter the secondary-progressive phase. Eventually, progressive MS sufferers become wheelchair-bound, and may become blind and even incapable of speech. There is currently no FDA approved drug that reverses the course of the progressive form of MS.


RPI-78M has shown efficacy in animal models (EAE) for MS and ReceptoPharm is planning new animal studies to gain more insight into the levels of protection that the drugs afford. In one study conducted in August 2007, all members of an untreated animal control group developed signs of disease with different levels of paralysis/muscle weakness. A similar group in the August 2007 study treated with RPI-78M showed no disease in 90% of the animals in both acute and chronic applications of the test. Moreover, there were no toxicities reported though the animals which received doses the equivalent of 280 times a human dose.


Furthermore, we believe that the ability to modulate the host immunostimulatory environment could form the basis of an effective strategy for the long-term control of autoimmunity in diseases like MS and Myasthenia gravis (MG) and is being studied as a therapeutic model for other neuromuscular diseases. Also, we believe our data suggest that it is possible that our novel therapeutic proteins could have a general application in autoimmune diseases based on human studies in Rheumatoid Arthritis and anecdotal reports from patients with Multiple Sclerosis.


In August of 1984, Biogenix applied for and received an Intrastate Investigational Drug (FSDHRS Protocol RA-1 (002)) from the Department of Health and Rehabilitation (HRS) in Florida that permitted the 4-week study of RPI-MN in 13 patients with Rheumatoid arthritis ranging in age from 49 to 81. Patients were enrolled for a period of 4 weeks; the results showed 30% to 49% improvement in range of joint motion, early morning stiffness and stamina (this data, along with other supporting intellectual property was acquired by ReceptoPharm from Biogenix). We believe that the data obtained from the examination of clinical efficacy in these three diseases can augment information from prior clinical studies and lead to the future investigation of treatments for other chronic conditions.

Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN), Pediatric MS and other Orphan Indications


Adrenoleukodystrophy, or ALD, is a genetically determined neurological disorder that, according to the Adrenoleukodystrophy Foundation, affects 1 in every 17,900 boys worldwide. The presentation of symptoms occurs between the ages of 4 and 10, and affects the brain with demyelination, which is the stripping away of the fatty coating that keeps nerve pulses confined and maintains the integrity of nerve signals. This process inhibits the nerves’ ability to conduct properly, which causes neurological deficits, including visual disturbances, auditory discrimination, impaired coordination, dementia and seizures. Demyelination is an inflammatory response and nerve cells throughout the brain are destroyed.

Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) is the most common form of X-ALD, a maternally inherited type of ALD. AMN affects about 40-45% of X-ALD patients and usually presents itself in adolescence or adult life and may be preceded by hypoadrenalism. It is characterized by spastic paraplegia and a peripheral neuropathy, often being diagnosed as Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Nerve conduction studies in AMN show a predominant axonal neuropathy and show a loss of all axons. Lorenzo’s oil, a mixture of glyceryltrioleate and glyceryltrierucate, has been used for over a decade in an open, unblinded fashion with mixed results.


RPI-78M has been utilized in two clinical studies, which were completed at the Charles Dent Metabolic Unit located in London, England. The last trial was classified as a Phase IIb/IIIa study. These studies provided important safety data, showing RPI-78M to be well tolerated by the patients. Further study is warranted to provide data on the potential efficacy of RPI-78M to treat the symptoms of AMN.


In September of 2015 we were granted Orphan Designation by the US-FDA for the treatment of Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis. We are currently working with potential sites of care to conduct a Phase I/II in Pediatric MS. The designation of RPI-78M as an Orphan Drug provides Nutra Pharma with a 7-year period of market exclusivity in the U.S. once the drug is approved. Additional benefits over conventional drug applications include: tax credits for clinical research costs, the ability to apply for grant funding, clinical trial design assistance, plus assistance from the FDA in the drug development process and the waiver of Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) filing fees which could be in excess of $2.5 million. The granting of Orphan Drug Designation allows the Company to move forward with their preparation of an Investigative New Drug Application and proposal of clinical trials. The FDA grants Orphan Drug Designation status to products that treat rare diseases, providing incentives to sponsors developing drugs or biologics. According to the FDA, the Orphan Drug program has successfully enabled the development and marketing of more than 400 drugs and biologic products for rare diseases since 1983. Evaluate Ltd., in its 2014 EvaluatePharma Orphan Drug Report, estimated that orphan drug sales will constitute 19% of the total share of prescription drug sales by 2020, totaling $176bn.


In December of 2015, we announced that we had applied for an Orphan Drug designation from the US-FDA for the Company's RPI-78M drug candidate for the treatment of Myasthenia Gravis (MG). The application is still under review.was subsequently rejected with an offer to re-file in the future as more data becomes available.


Pain and Arthritis


Protein or peptide-based drugs are penetrating the pain market with neurotoxins taking the lead. Botox (Allergan) and Prialt (Elan) have the potential to substitute over the long-term for morphine and other opiates in chronic pain indications. Opiates, though potent painkillers, suffer from drawbacks because they are addictive, short acting, and drug-resistance inducing. We plan to assess the effects of several peptides in animal models of pain in association with Soochow University in China. Several peptides have demonstrated positive effects and the research and development continues.


August 2007 studies at Soochow University proved the potential of ReceptoPharm’s drug candidates, RPI-78 and RPI-70. When compared to Dolantin, an opiate-based drug subordinate to morphine, the effects were very encouraging. While Dolantin provided immediate pain relief it began wearing off just as RPI-70 began to take effect. The effects of RPI-70 do not seem dramatic in contrast to Dolantin, considering the quantity of drug employed in this animal model. The concentration of RPI-70 was approximately 100 times less than the opiate product. Also, RPI-70 showed real potential for combining with other pain killing medications. RPI-78 was calculated to be 150,000 times more potent than aspirin. This product can be injected systemically providing evidence of a more practical application than Prialt, which must be administered intrathecally (into the spinal cord). Opiate drugs induce tolerance and dependence. This problem is not encountered with RPI-70 and RPI-78.


11

In February 2009, ReceptoPharm filed a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the use of RPI-78 as a novel method for treating arthritis in humans. Also in February 2009, ReceptoPharm, in collaboration with Soochow University in China published positive data from its recent animal studies on the use of RPI-78 (Cobratoxin) as a method for treating arthritis. In March of 2011, ReceptoPharm was issued a patent for the use of cobratoxin as an analgesic (US patent #7,902,152). In February of 2012, ReceptoPharm, in collaboration with Soochow University published another study that demonstrated a novel mechanism of action for the use of RPI-78 as a treatment for pain.


Nerve Agent Countermeasures

In February of 2018, we announced that we had filed a new provisional patent to protect our intellectual property surrounding the development of nerve agent counter measures. In much the same way that our therapies protect the nerves of patients with disease, our findings indicate that we may protect against – or at least mitigate the damage caused by - nerve agents that are utilized as chemical weapons; such as sarin gas and VX. We will be working with experts in the field to have our products in testing shortly.

Nerve agents are identified as a class of phosphorus-containing organic chemicals (organophosphates) that may disrupt the transfer of messages to organs through the nerves. This disruption is caused by the over-stimulation of certain receptors on the surface of the neurons. These same receptors are the target of Nutra Pharma’s drugs, which may block the action of the nerve agents or minimize the damage that they may cause.

The company has very encouraging preclinical data, a demonstrated molecular mechanism of action and a robust scientific rational for the continued commercial development of its nerve agent counter measure. Organophosphate nerve agents such as VX and Sarin remain a troubling threat to American service people and civilians as evidenced by the recent attacks in Syria, Malaysia and London. Supply chain issues with existing counter measures and the safety and effectiveness of these drugs is a great concern. Based on our pre-clinical studies and experience in neurobiology products, we believe that we have a superior product ready for testing in the near term.

According to a recent BBC report, chemical weapons remain a real threat to the West. In the seven-year period since the beginning of the Syrian conflict there have been over a thousand documented uses of chemical weapons; making this issue a major topic of concern in the US department of Defense and the United Nations.

Market Values


Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)


The analytic firm GBI Research reported in November 2012April 2014 that the HIV/AIDS therapeutics market reached $13.5$14.3 billion in 20112012 in seven top markets: the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Japan. GBI Research predicts these markets will continue to grow to reach $21.8$16.3 billion by 2018.2019. According to UNAIDS, an estimated 35.3 million people were living with HIV in 2012 with 69% of all HIV sufferers in sub-Saharan Africa. There were 2.3 million new infections in 2012 and 1.6 million people died of AIDS-related illnesses. Since the beginning of the epidemic, more than 75 million people have contracted HIV and nearly 36 million have died of HIV-related causes. Growth in the HIV therapy market will continue to be driven by the rapidly growing HIV and AIDS population.

These facts make new therapies a necessity. The foregoing information was obtained from the World Health Organization website at www.who.int and the UNAIDS website at www.unaids.org.


According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in the United States alone, an estimated 1,144,5001.2 million people are infected with an estimated 50,00039,500 Americans becoming infected with HIV each year. The majority undergoes treatment for HIV-related conditions at an individual cost of $14,000 (HAART) to $34,000 (AIDS patients). According to DataMonitor; the HIV market was worth $9.3 billion in 2007. GBI Research predicts these markets will continue to grow to reach $21.8$16.3 billion by 2018,2019, driven by the increasing prevalence of HIV worldwide and the longer life expectancy of patients receiving treatment.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)


MS affects an estimated 2.5 million people globally with approximately 400,000 sufferers in the United States. There are 512 approved drugs for the treatment of this disease. TheAccording to an April 2015 article published in the journal Neurology, the average annual cost of these drugs is $12,000has increased to over $60,000 per person. In 2010,2013, sales by one manufacturer, Biogen-Idec,Teva, were reported to be $2.5$4.328 billion for its drug, Avonex. According to a report by Piribo (Pharmaceutical Market Research),Copaxone. Biogen has the total worldwidelargest market forshare in the MS disease-modifying therapiesdrug category; bringing in $8 billion from the sales of Avonex, Tysabri and Tecfidera. The global multiple sclerosis therapeutics market is expected to grow at an 8.1% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2010 through 2015, with sales reaching nearly $16.7reach USD 24.8 billion by the end of 2015 from $11.3 billion in 2010. ReceptoPharm’s MS drug, RPI-78M is considered2024 according to be a ‘Biologic’. Biologics represent the largest class of MS disease-modifying therapiesMay, 2016 report by sales and by number of approved therapies. This sector is valued at $7.8 billion in 2010 and is expected to increase at a 2.5% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to reach a value of $8.8 billion in 2015.Grand View Research, Inc.


Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN)


AMN/ALD affects an estimated 30,000 people in the US with some estimates exceeding this number.


Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis (pediatric-MS)


According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, although MS occurs most commonly in adults, it is also diagnosed in children and adolescents. Estimates suggest that 8,000-10,000 children (up to 18 years old) in the United States have MS, and another 10,000-15,000 have experienced at least one symptom suggestive of MS. Studies suggest that two to five percent of all people with MS have a history of symptom onset before age 18.


Myasthenia Gravis (MG)


According to the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America, the prevalence of MG in the United States is estimated to be about 64,000 patients. However, MG is probably under diagnosed and the prevalence may be higher.


Current Technologies


ReceptoPharm, operating in its capacity as a clinical stage biotechnology company, created a process that safely modifies proteins derived from cobra venom. ReceptoPharm also has rights to a drug delivery method that uses an aerosol formulation, which is administered under the tongue.Bytongue.By using this shared aerosol delivery technology, oral delivery is attainable, an important step for a biologic product.Theproduct.The system is 50% efficient and affects drug delivery in approximately 40% of patients in which it was tested. Topical preparations are being examined for future applications in treatment of such conditions as pain and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).


Business Strategy


Pending adequate financing or revenues, ReceptoPharm seeks to develop proprietary pharmaceutical products for human illnesses that qualify for “Fast-Track” or “Orphan Drug” status under FDA regulations, which can expedite regulatory review. For some conditions, the FDA has created the “two animal rule” which permits ReceptoPharm to collect data from ongoing animal research for human treatment applications.


We believe the results from ReceptoPharm’s research will assist in getting its applications processed through the FDA’s “Fast-Track” approval process and enable ReceptoPharm to plan the commercialization of each product independently and/or through joint ventures, partnerships and licensing arrangements.“Fast-Track” denotes life-threatening illnesses, while “Orphan” status refers to serious ailments affecting less than 200,000 individuals nationwide. AMN qualifies under both labels because it is considered an orphan disease and has no known cure. Pediatric MS and Myasthenia Gravis are also considered "Orphan" diseases because of the disease prevalence as well as the lack of effective therapies.




11



In the areas of HIV and MS, ReceptoPharm plans to conduct clinical studies of its HIV and MS drugs under development. These “Phase II” studies will either prove or disprove the preliminary efficacy of ReceptoPharm's HIV and MS drugs under development. ReceptoPharm is in the process of attempting to secure agreements with third parties to conduct such clinical studies.


13

We believe that ReceptoPharm’s proposed unique pharmaceutical products can be used alone or licensed for use in combination with other therapeutic products and may be of interest to other established pharmaceutical companies as a means of extending the patent life of their proprietary products.


Short-term Goal


Although we focused our drug development efforts from 2006 to 2008 on clinical trials for ReceptoPharm’s HIV drug, RPI-MN, our primary focus now is on RPI-78M for the treatment of MS and MG. With the recent Orphan designation for Pediatric MS, we expect to move into Phase I/II clinical studies inby the next 12 months.end of 2021.


Mid-term Goal


Our midterm strategy is to license ReceptoPharm’s AMN, MS and HIV technologies in our attempt to bring these technologies to market within 5 years, should we obtain adequate financing.


Long-Term Goal


Our long-term goal is the use of drugs developed by ReceptoPharm in the field of neurological diseases, infectious diseases and autoimmune disorders. Due to our limited financial and operational resources, this goal will require us to establish strategic partners or alliances with pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, biotechnology companies, and clinical diagnostic laboratories, which will: (a) complement ReceptoPharm’s research and development efforts; (b) reduce the risks associated with undertaking the entire process of drug development and marketing; and (c) generate licensing based revenue streams. Additionally, we plan to continue identifying intellectual property and companies in the biotechnology arena as potential acquisition candidates.


Compassionate Release Programs


Certain countries, such as Canada and the United Kingdom permit their citizens to have access to investigational medications without being approved for any applications by their respective “FDA type” agencies, and permit physicians to prescribe drugs they believe are of possible benefits to the patients. Through these “Compassionate Release Programs” ReceptoPharm has supplied RPI-78M, its drug under investigation for MS and AMN, to physicians in the United Kingdom. The FDA does not offer this program.


Clinical Trial Applications


ReceptoPharm has developed Common Technical Documents (CTD) for both RPI-78M and RPI-MN that are used to support any clinical trial application. The CTD is a complete history of the individual drug, including all of the in-vitro and in-vivo work accomplished to date, as well as pre-clinical development work on the drug. Having these completed documents allows for expedited due diligence from regulatory bodies reviewing ReceptoPharm’s applications for trials and approvals. With these documents, ReceptoPharm has successfully applied for approval to conduct a clinical investigation in the United Kingdom under the regulation of the Medicines Health and Regulatory Agency (MHRA), which is the British equivalent of the US-FDA.


Current Research and Development Projects


Neurological Studies


Pain Studies


In an effort to further support Nyloxin® Extra Strength, ReceptoPharm had planned to complete two human clinical studies aimed at comparing the ability of Nyloxin® Extra Strength to replace prescription pain relievers. ReceptoPharm originally estimated that these studies would begin during the second quarter of 2010; however, these studies have been delayed because of lack of funding. We have no way of knowing at this time, if or when we will have adequate funding to reinitiate these trials.


14

AMN Phase II


ReceptoPharm has been conducting research and development in this area since February 2006 with an original expected completion date of September 2010, which includes a 12-month patient trial period that has already been completed. We have thus far expended approximately $400,000, because ReceptoPharm has completed its AMN Phase II project, there is no further budget for this project.




12



AMN Phase III


ReceptoPharm had planned to continue research and development, with the ultimate goal of completing development of its future drug, RPI-78M. ReceptoPharm’s originally estimated start and completion dates are July 2010 and December 2011, respectively, which includes a 12-month patient trial period. ReceptoPharm has thus far incurred costs of $5,000. ReceptoPharm has an estimated budget of $500,000. We have no way of knowing at this time, if or when we will have adequate funding to reinitiate these trials.


MS Phase II (Pediatric MS Phase I/II)


We are working with our Chief Scientific Officer, Dale Vanderputten, PhD; along with consultants to begin our Phase I/Phase II studies in pediatric Multiple Sclerosis. Pending adequate financing or revenues, ReceptoPharm will continue its research and development, with the ultimate goal of completing development ofcommencing these trials with RPI-78M under its future drug, RPI-78M. ReceptoPharm’s originally estimated start and completion dates are October 2010 and October 2012, respectively, which includes a 12-month patient trial period.Orphan Designation. ReceptoPharm has thus far incurred costs of $40,000. ReceptoPharm has an estimated budget of $2,000,000. We have no way of knowing at this time, if or when we will have adequate fundingOur goal is to reinitiateinitiate these trials.trials in 2021.


Currently, ReceptoPharm’s total estimated costs for all of the above projects are approximately $3,000,000.


All of these studies have been delayed due to a lack of revenues and funding. Upon obtaining sufficient revenues, if ever, ReceptoPharm will provide updated estimates of start and completion dates.


Since receiving Orphan designation for the treatment of Pediatric MS, our plans have changed. We are now working with potential sites of care to initiate a Phase I/II clinical trial in Pediatric MS. Our next step is to have a pre-IND meeting with the FDA to go over the proposed trial protocols. It is our goal to begin these trials by the end of 2016.in 2021.


Research and Development


During 2015 and 2014, we had research and development costs of $0 and $341, respectively.


Dependence on one or a Few Major Customers


We have no customers with respect to our research and development projects since we have not received FDA approval for our drug candidates and have not licensed any of our technologies.


Marketing


We currently do not have a marketing program for our drug candidates because none of ReceptoPharm’s products have received FDA approval. Our lack of financing has hampered our efforts to navigate the regulatory process in a timely fashion; however, if and when we have FDA-approved drug treatments, we plan to develop a marketing strategy to market ReceptoPharm’s products through pharmaceutical companies, other biotechnology companies, and diagnostic laboratories. Our Chief Executive Officer will market the treatments to licensing and development officers of those companies and will otherwise direct our marketing program. Additionally, we will attempt to secure consulting agreements with marketing consultants who will actively market our products to such companies and/or provide our Chief Executive Officer with marketing guidance.


Potential Revenue Segments


Our potential revenue segments are composed of our attempt to generate revenues from license agreements, joint ventures in foreign countries and drug sales.


To date, we have not earned any revenues regarding any FDA drug candidate.

Product Liability


We maintain product liability insurance for our commercial products. Even so, product liability claims may result in significant legal costs related to our defense of such actions if damage amounts exceed our product liability insurance coverage. The design, development, and manufacture of drug products or diagnostic tests involves an inherent risk of product liability claims and corresponding damage to our brand name reputation, including claims of product failure or harm caused by the drug product.


Sources and Availability of Raw Materials


ReceptoPharm uses the raw material, cobra venom, for the drugs that it studies and in CobroxinNyloxin® and Nyloxin®Pet Pain-Away production. We currently have two US suppliers of cobra venom that we use according to product demand. In addition, there are other suppliers in



13



China, Thailand and India. ReceptoPharm’s management is responsible for locating cobra venom suppliers on an as-needed basis, which involves obtaining a small test amount from a supplier for scientific validation of that raw material prior to purchase. Apart from cobra venom, we do not currently use raw materials in our business.


Compliance with Government Regulations and Need for Government Approval


The production and marketing of potential drug products as well as research and development activities generally are subject to regulation by numerous governmental authorities in the United States and other countries. In the United States, vaccines, drugs and certain diagnostic products are subject to FDA review of safety and efficacy. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Public Health Service Act and other federal statutes and regulations govern or influence the testing, manufacture, safety, labeling, storage, record keeping, approval, advertising and promotion of such products. Noncompliance with applicable requirements can result in criminal prosecution and fines, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production, or refusal of the government to approve Biological License Applications (“BLAs”), Product License Applications (“PLAs”), New Drug Applications (“NDAs”) or refusal to allow a company to enter into supply contracts. The FDA also has the authority to revoke product licenses and establishment licenses previously granted.


In order to obtain FDA approval to market a new biological or pharmaceutical product, proof of product safety, purity, potency and efficacy, and reliable manufacturing capability must be submitted. This requires companies to conduct extensive laboratory, pre clinicalpre-clinical and clinical tests. This testing, as well as preparation and processing of necessary applications, is expensive, time-consuming and often takes several years to complete. There is no assurance that the FDA will act favorably in making such reviews. Our potential partners, or we, may encounter significant difficulties or costs in their efforts to obtain FDA approvals, which could delay or preclude from marketing any products that may be developed. The FDA may also require post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the effects of marketed products or place conditions on any approvals that could restrict the commercial applications of such products. Product approvals may be withdrawn if problems occur following initial marketing, such as, compliance with regulatory standards is not maintained. Delays imposed by governmental marketing approval processes may materially reduce the period during which a company will have the exclusive right to exploit patented products or technologies. Refusals or delays in the regulatory process in one country may make it more difficult and time consuming to obtain marketing approvals in other countries.


The FDA approval process for a new biological or pharmaceutical drug involves completion of preclinical studies and the submission of the results of these studies to the FDA in an Initial New Drug application, which must be approved before human clinical trials may be conducted. The results of preclinical and clinical studies on biological or pharmaceutical drugs are submitted to the FDA in the form of a BLA, PLA or NDA for product approval to commence commercial sales. In responding to a BLA, PLA or NDA, the FDA may require additional testing or information, or may deny the application. In addition to obtaining FDA approval for each biological or chemical product, an Establishment License Application (“ELA”) must be filed and the FDA must inspect and license the manufacturing facilities for each product. Product sales may commence only when both BLA/ PLA/ NDA and ELA are approved. In certain instances in which a treatment for a rare disease or condition is concerned, the manufacturer may request the FDA to grant the drug product Orphan Drug status for a particular use. “Orphan Drug” status refers to serious ailments affecting less than 250,000 individuals. In this event, the developer of the drug may request grants from the government to defray the costs of certain expenses related to the clinical testing of such drug and be entitled to marketing exclusivity and certain tax credits.

In order to gain broad acceptance in the marketplace of a medical device, our partners or we will need to receive approval from the FDA and other equivalent regulatory bodies outside of the United States. This approval will be based upon clinical testing programs at major medical centers. Data obtained from these institutions will enable us, or our partners, to apply to the FDA for acceptance of its technology as a “device” through a 510(k) application or exemption process. Once the data have been fully gleaned, it is expected that this process would take ninety days.


According to the FDA, a “device” is: “an instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, contrivance, implant, in vitro reagent, or other similar or related article, including a component part, or accessory which is recognized in the official National Formulary, or the United States Pharmacopoeia, or any supplement to them, intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, in man or other animals, or intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of man or other animals, and which does not achieve any of its primary intended purposes through chemical action within or on the body of man or other animals and which is not dependent upon being metabolized for the achievement of any of its primary intended purposes.”


The FDA classifies devices as either Class I/II-exempt, Class II, or Class III.


Class III: Pre-Marketing Approval, or PMA: A Pre-Marketing Approval or PMA is the most stringent type of device marketing application required by FDA. A PMA is an application submitted to FDA to request clearance to market, or to continue marketing of a Class III medical device. A PMA is usually required for products with which FDA has little previous experience and in such cases where the safety and efficacy must be fully demonstrated on the product. The level of documentation is more extensive than for a 510(k) application and the review timeline is usually longer. Under this level of FDA approval, the manufacturing facility will be



14



inspected as well as the clinical sites where the clinical trials are being or have been conducted. All the appropriate documents have to be compiled and available on demand by the FDA. The manufacturing facility is registered with the FDA and the product or device is registered with the FDA.


Class II: 510(k). This is one level down from the PMA and it is applied to devices with which the FDA has had previous experience. A 510(k) is a pre-marketing submission made to FDA to demonstrate that the device to be marketed is as safe and effective, that is, substantially equivalent, to a legally marketed device that is not subject to pre-market approval. Applicants must compare their 510(k) device to one or more similar devices currently on the U.S. market and make and support their substantial equivalency claims. The legally marketed device to which equivalence is drawn is known as the “predicate” device. Applicants must submit descriptive data and, when necessary, performance data to establish that their device is SE to a predicate device. Again, the data in a 510(k) is to show comparability, that is, substantial equivalency (SE) of a new device to a predicate device. Under this level of approval, the manufacturing facility is registered with the FDA and the product or device is registered with the FDA. Inspections under this classification are possible. All the appropriate cGMP and clinical data backing the claims made must be on file and available on demand by the FDA.


Class I/II Exemption: This is the lowest level of scrutiny. Most Class I devices and a few Class II devices are exempt from the pre-marketing notification requirements subject to the limitations on exemptions. However, these devices are not exempt from other general controls. All medical devices must be manufactured under a quality assurance program, be suitable for the intended use, be adequately packaged and properly labeled, and have establishment registration and device listing forms on file with the FDA. However, as described above, all the appropriate documentation including cGMP and clinical data supporting the claims being made has to be on hand and available on demand by the FDA. The data must be available to support all the product claims.


Sales of biological and pharmaceutical products and medical devices outside the United States are subject to foreign regulatory requirements that vary widely from country to country. Whether or not FDA approval has been obtained, approval of a product or a device by a comparable regulatory authority of a foreign country must generally be obtained prior to the commencement of marketing in that country.


17

Effect of Compliance with Federal, State, and Local Provisions for the Protection of the Environment


We have no present or anticipated direct future costs associated with environmental compliance, since we are not and will not be directly involved in manufacturing drug products as result of our research and development; however, we may be affected in the percentage licensing fees we receive, since a company may consider the environmental expense as an offset to a determination of the percentage amount we receive. ReceptoPharm produces a drug that has limited waste issues and related costs, but handles environmentally related matters through the FDA's Good Manufacturing Practices, the FDA mandated guidelines pertaining to the production of drugs in the United States.


Ability to Compete


The biotechnology research and development field is extremely competitive and is characterized by rapid change. Our competitors have substantially greater financial, scientific, and human resources, and as a result greater research and product development capabilities. Our competitors have competitive advantages with greater potential to develop revenue streams. Our competitors are located in the United States as well as around the world. We will attempt to compete by establishing strategic partners or alliances with pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, biotechnology companies, and clinical diagnostic laboratories, which will enter into joint ventures, emphasizing that the drugs RPI-MN and RPI-78M possess the following properties:

 

·They lack measurable toxicity but are still capable of attaching to and affecting the target site on the nerve cells. This means that patients cannot overdose.
·They display no significant adverse side effects following years of investigations in humans and animals.
·The products are stable and resistant to heat, which gives the drug a long shelf life. The drugs’ stability has been determined to be over 4 years at room temperature.

·

The products are stable and resistant to heat, which gives the drug a long shelf life. The drugs’ stability has been determined to be over 4 years at room temperature.


RPI-78M can be administered orally; however, ReceptoPharm has not yet developed an orally administered RPI-78M. RPI-78M has been routinely delivered by injection in a manner similar to insulin, but research over the past two years has given rise to administration by mouth. Oral delivery presents patients with additional “quality of life” benefits by eliminating or decreasing the requirements for routine injections. Should we receive adequate funding, ReceptoPharm plans to develop an orally administered RPI-78M by initiating new trials with an oral version of that drug.


Main Competitors (Biologics)


Competition is intense among companies that develop and market products based on advanced cellular and molecular biology. ReceptoPharm’s competitors, including Amgen, Sanofi-Aventis, Biogen-Idec, Cephalon, Genetech, Genzyme, Novartis, Regeneron



15



and Bayer, which have far superior financial, technological and operational resources. We face significant competition from these and other biotechnology and pharmaceutical firms in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. Certain specialized biotechnology firms have also entered into cooperative arrangements with major companies for development and commercialization of products, creating an additional source of competition.


Any products or technologies that successfully address viral or neurological indications could negatively impact the market potential for RPI-78M or RPI-MN. These include products that could receive approval for indications similar to those for which RPI-78M or RPI-MN seeks approval, development of biologic or pharmaceutical treatments that are more effective than existing treatments and the development of other modalities with reduced toxicity and side effects.


18

Interferon-based drugs and their indications represent target markets for ReceptoPharm. Sales of interferon-based drugs annually exceed $6$8 billion and have attracted the participation of several major drug companies, including Bayer and Roche. Currently, there are sixeight interferon-based drugs licensed in Canada and the U.S.; fourfive for the treatment of the milder Relapsing-Remitting form of MS, and twoone for Hepatitis C.C, one for granulomatous disease and one for genital warts. These interferons are also used in the treatment of other conditions where treatment options are limited. The interferons for MS are Betaseron (Bayer), Avonex (Biogen-Idec)(Biogen), Plegridy (Biogen), Extavia (Novartis) and Rebif (Serono and Pfizer)(EMD Serono). Since the launch of these drugs, the number of patients undergoing treatment has stabilized at current levels, indicating that there is a high turnover rate of patients in the administration of these individual drugs due to cost and side effects. Biogen developed Avonex in the early 1990’s and has been shipping the drug since late 1996. In the United Kingdom, the National Institute for Clinical Efficiency (NICE) has called for the withdrawal of Betaseron and another unrelated drug, Copaxone (Teva), from the market based on poor cost/effectiveness.


Gilead Sciences markets Harvoni as a 'cure' for Hepatitis C. It combines two drugs: Sovaldi (sofosbuvir) and ledipasvir. Harvoni is taking over the market as Gilead has turned Hepatitis C into a curable illness and has generated over $25B in sales.


Main Competitors (Venom-Based Drugs)


We view our main competitors as those who also engage in the development of protein-based neurotoxins as therapeutics. Employing venoms as therapeutics is not new. A large number of well-known pharmaceutical companies are developing novel therapies derived from snake venoms and other reptiles. Most of those using snake venoms employ the anticoagulant enzymes usually from viperids (adders and rattlesnakes) though elapids (cobra family) are also being investigated.


We have set forth below a summary of venom-based drugs and their potential applications.

Bio-Therapeutics, Inc.


On October 3, 2003, we entered into a non-assignable license agreement between Bio-Therapeutics, Inc. and us, which was then amended to make the license agreement assignable. This agreement was in settlement of a lawsuit that we filed against Bio-Therapeutics alleging that Bio-Therapeutics owed us $850,000 in connection with a merger agreement between Bio-Therapeutics and us that was cancelled.


The 2003 license agreement provides that for a non-exclusive license to certain intellectual property of Bio-Therapeutics, Inc., which consists of the following two distinct technology platforms:


·Alteration of Proteins and Peptides - These include patented methods for altering the 3-Dimensional structure of certain proteins and peptides. The natural peptides bind to receptors in the body with toxic effects. This technology allows us to alter the structure of these peptides, preserving their receptor-binding characteristics, while making them non-toxic and therapeutic. Different receptors have various functions in many disease states. By the peptides binding to these receptors in a controlled fashion, certain disease symptoms may be treated. In connection with MS, binding to the acetylcholine receptor on the nerves allows for more efficient nerve conduction. With HIV, binding to chemokine receptors may prevent the virus from entering and infecting new cells.

Non- Exclusive License for “Buccal Delivery System”(“Buccal”) – An innovative aerosolized drug delivery system that is patent pending. Many therapeutic agents cannot be effectively delivered by aerosol formulation due to their large size and/or irregular shapes. Since these therapeutic agents cannot be ingested orally without being degraded by the digestive system, patients have no alternative but to directly inject these drugs. We have a non-exclusive license to the Buccal patent pending proprietary aerosol formulation, which greatly enhances the permeability of the mucous membranes found on the roof of the mouth and the back of the throat. This allows for the easy and efficient systemic delivery into the bloodstream of a much wider variety of proteins and peptides. This non-exclusive license for “Buccal Delivery System” and patent pending application includes claims that identify the active mucosal enhancer, its combination with therapeutic agents and the mode of delivery through aerosol. This may allow for the effective and pain-free delivery of peptide and protein therapeutics for the treatment of HIV and MS.

Item 1A. Risk Factors


You should carefully consider the risks described below regarding our operations, financial condition, financing, our common stock and other matters. If any of the following or other material risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, or results or operations could be materially adversely affected.


Our ability to continue as a going concern is in doubt absent obtaining adequate new debt or equity financing and achieving sufficient sales levels.


We incurred net losses of $5,391,981$3,884,695 and $2,532,985$4,028,748 for the years ended December 31, 20152018 and 2014.2017. We anticipate that these losses will continue for the foreseeable future. We have a significant working capital deficiency, and have not reached a profitable level of operations, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our continued existence is dependent upon our achieving sufficient sales levels of our Cobroxin® , Nyloxin® and Pet Pain Away products and obtaining adequate financing. Unless we can begin to generate material revenue, we may not be able to remain in business. We cannot assure you that we will raise enough money or generate sufficient sales to meet our future working capital needs.


We have a limited revenue producing history with significant losses and expect losses to continue for the foreseeable future.


We have yet to establish any history of profitable operations. We have incurred annual losses of $5,391,981$3,884,695 and $2,532,985$4,028,748 during the fiscal years of operations ending December 31, 20152018 and 20142017 respectively. As a result, at December 31, 20152018 we had an accumulated deficit of $49,911,786.$61,272,842. Our revenues have been insufficient to sustain our operations and we expect our revenues will be insufficient to sustain our operations for the foreseeable future. Our potential profitability will require the successful commercialization of our Cobroxin®, Nyloxin® and Pet Pain-Away products; or a potential licensing of our therapies under development.


We will require additional financing to sustain our operations and without it will be unable to continue operations.


At December 31, 20152018 we had a working capital deficit of $3,404,497.$5,911,233. Our recurring losses from operations and working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have a negative cash flow from operations of approximately $1.02$1.00 million and $0.15$1.14 million for the years ended December 31, 20152018 and 2014,2017, respectively. We have insufficient financial resources to fund our operations.


As of December 31, 2015 we owe $146,770 to our Chief Executive Officer and the Companies owned by him.


Our Chief Executive Officer may be unwilling or unable to continue funding our operations.


Our Chief Executive Officer has historically funded our operations by providing loans to us. As of December 31, 2015, we owe $146,770 to Mr. Deitsch and the companies owned by him. Mr. Deitsch may be unwilling or unable to fund our operations in the future. If we have no other source of funding and we are unable to secure additional loans from Mr. Deitsch, our operations will be negatively affected.


24

We have a history of failed distributors, which has negatively affected our revenues and may continue to do so if we fail to locate a successful distributor.


Due to poor performance, we cancelled our distribution agreement with our Cobroxin® distributor, XenaCare in April, 2011. We plan to re-launch Cobroxin®, but we have not yet ordered product or provided planned sales. To date, we have only limited sales of Nyloxin® and Pet Pain-Away through outside distributors. Most of the current sales are through Lumaxa. If we fail to improve our own marketing and distribution or fail to find a competent outside distributor our operations and financial condition will be negatively affected.


If we cannot sell a sufficient volume of our products, we will be unable to continue in business.


To date, sales of Cobroxin® have been limited and inconsistent. Total sales of Cobroxin® have been $1,995,673 since the fourth quarter of 2009, with no significant sales since the second quarter of 2010.


To date, sales of Nyloxin® have been limited and inconsistent. During 2011, we sold $66,568 of Nyloxin®. During 2012, we sold $199,231 of Nyloxin®. During 2013, we sold $119,898 of Nyloxin®. During 2014, we sold $587,804 of Nyloxin®. During 2015, we sold $279,969 of Nyloxin®. During 2016, we sold $161,342 of Nyloxin®. During 2017, we sold $109,128 of Nyloxin®. During 2018, we sold $89,166 of Nyloxin®. We launched Pet Pain-Away in late December of 2014 and generated $6,701 in 2014. During 2015, we sold $11,333 of Pet Pain-Away. During 2016, we sold $7,014 of Pet Pain-Away. During 2017, we sold $11,851 of Pet Pain-Away. During 2018, we sold $41,430 of Pet Pain-Away. If we cannot achieve sufficient sales levels of our Cobroxin®, Nyloxin® and Pet Pain-Away products or we are unable to secure financing our operations will be negatively affected.




21



We have a limited history of generating revenues on which to evaluate our potential for future success and to determine if we will be able to execute our business plan; accordingly, it is difficult to evaluate our future prospects and the risk of success or failure of our business.


Our total sales of Cobroxin®from November 2009 until December 31, 20152017 are $1,995,673. Our total sales of Nyloxin® from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 20152018 are $1,253,470.$1,613,106. Our total sales of Pet Pain-Away from December 2014 to December 31, 2018 are $78,329. You must consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we will encounter as an early-stage revenue producing company. These risks include:


·our ability to effectively and efficiently market and distribute our products;
·our ability to obtain market acceptance of our current products and future products that may be developed by us; and
·our ability to sell our products at competitive prices which exceed our per unit costs.

·

our ability to effectively and efficiently market and distribute our products;

·

our ability to obtain market acceptance of our current products and future products that may be developed by us; and

·

our ability to sell our products at competitive prices which exceed our per unit costs.


We may be unable to address these risks and difficulties, which could materially and adversely affect our revenue, operating results and our ability to continue to operate our business.


Our growth strategy reflected in our business plan may be unachievable or may not result in profitability.


We may be unable to implement our growth strategy reflected in our business plan rapidly enough for us to achieve profitability. Our growth strategy is dependent on a number of factors, including market acceptance of our Cobroxin®, Nyloxin® and Pet Pain-Away products and the acceptance by the public of using these products as pain relievers. We cannot assure you that our products will be purchased in amounts sufficient to attain profitability.


Among other things, our efforts to expand our sales of Cobroxin®, Nyloxin® and Pet Pain-Away will be adversely affected if:


·we are unable to attract sufficient customers to the products we offer in light of the price and other terms required in order for us to attain the level of profitability that will enable us to continue to pursue our growth strategy;
·adequate penetration of new markets at reasonable cost becomes impossible limiting the future demand for our products below the level assumed by our business plan;
·we are unable to scale up manufacturing to meet product demand, which would negatively affect our revenues and brand name recognition;
·we are unable to meet regulatory requirements in the intellectual marketplace that would otherwise allow us for wider distribution; and
·we are unable to meet FDA regulatory requirements that would potentially expand our product base and potential revenues.

·

we are unable to meet regulatory requirements in the intellectual marketplace that would otherwise allow us for wider distribution; and

·

we are unable to meet FDA regulatory requirements that would potentially expand our product base and potential revenues.


If we cannot manage our growth effectively, we may not become profitable.


Businesses, which grow rapidly often, have difficulty managing their growth. If we grow rapidly, we will need to expand our management by recruiting and employing experienced executives and key employees capable of providing the necessary support. We cannot assure you that our management will be able to manage our growth effectively or successfully.


Among other things, implementation of our growth strategy would be adversely affected if we were not able to attract sufficient customers to the products and services we offer or plan to offer in light of the price and other terms required in order for us to attain the necessary profitability.


If we are unable to protect our proprietary technology, our business could be harmed.


Our intellectual property, including patents, is our key asset. We currently have 21 patents that we either own or have the rights to from third parties. 16 of these patents have been approved and 5 are pending. Competitors may be able to design around our patents for our Cobroxin®, Nyloxin® and Pet Pain-Away products and compete effectively with us. The cost to prosecute infringements of our intellectual property or the cost to defend our products against patent infringement or other intellectual property litigation by others could be substantial. We cannot assure you that:

 

·pending and future patent applications will result in issued patents,
·patents licensed by us will not be challenged by competitors,
·our patents, licensed and other proprietary rights from third parties will not result in costly litigation;
·pending and future patent applications will result in issued patents,
·the patents or our other intellectual property will be found to be valid or sufficiently broad to protect these technologies or provide us with a competitive advantage,
·if we are sued for patent infringement, whether we will have sufficient funds to defend our patents, and
·we will be successful in defending against future patent infringement claims asserted against our products.

·

pending and future patent applications will result in issued patents,

·

patents licensed by us will not be challenged by competitors,

·

our patents, licensed and other proprietary rights from third parties will not result in costly litigation;

·

if we are sued for patent infringement, whether we will have sufficient funds to defend our patents, and

·

we will be successful in defending against future patent infringement claims asserted against our products.




22



Should any risks pertaining to the foregoing occur, our brand name reputation, results of operation and revenues will be negatively affected.


We are subject to substantial FDA regulations pertaining to Cobroxin®, Nyloxin® and Pet Pain-Away, which may increase our costs or otherwise adversely affect our operations.


Our Cobroxin®, Nyloxin® and Pet Pain-Away products are subject to FDA regulations, including manufacturing and labeling, approval of ingredients, advertising and other claims made regarding Cobroxin®, Nyloxin® and Pet Pain-Away, and product ingredients disclosure. If we fail to comply with current or future regulations, the FDA could force us to stop selling Cobroxin®, Nyloxin® and Pet Pain-Away or require us to incur substantial costs from adopting measures to maintain FDA compliance.


The inability to provide scientific proof for product claims may adversely affect our sales.


The marketing of Cobroxin®, Nyloxin® and Pet Pain-Away involves claims that they assist in reducing Stage 2 chronic pain, while Nyloxin®Extra Strength and Nyloxin® Military Strength involves claims that they assist in reducing Stage 3 chronic pain. The marketing of Pet Pain-Away involves claims that they assist in relieving pain in dogs and cats. Under FDA and Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) rules, we are required to have adequate data to support any claims we make concerning Cobroxin®, Nyloxin® and Pet Pain-Away. We have scientific data for our Cobroxin®, Nyloxin® and Pet Pain-Away product claims; however, we cannot be certain that these scientific data will be deemed acceptable to the FDA or FTC. If the FDA or FTC requests supporting information and we are unable to provide support that it finds acceptable, the FDA or FTC could force us to stop making the claims in question or restrict us from selling the products.


None of our ethical drug candidates have received FDA approval.


Our non-homeopathic or ethical products require a complex and costly FDA regulation process that takes several years for drug approval, if ever. None of the drug applications we have submitted to the FDA have received FDA approval. If we do not receive FDA approval for our drug applications, our operations and financial condition will be negatively affected.


26

If we are unable to secure sufficient cobra venom from available suppliers, our operating results will be negatively affected.


We secure cobra venom on an as-needed basis. If we do not have an available supplier to fill customer orders, there will be distribution delays and/or our failure to fulfill purchase orders, either of which will negatively affect our brand name reputation and operating results.


Our Cobroxin®, Nyloxin® and Pet Pain-Away products may be unable to compete against our competitors in the pain relief market.


The pain relief market is highly competitive. We compete with companies that have already achieved product acceptance and brand recognition, including multi-billion dollar private label manufacturers and more established pharmaceutical and health products companies, or low cost generic drug manufacturers. Most such companies have far greater financial and technical resources and production and marketing capabilities than we do. Additionally, if consumers prefer our competitors’ products, or if these products have better safety, efficacy, or pricing characteristics, our results could be negatively impacted. If we fail to develop and actualize strategies to compete against our competitors we may fail to compete effectively, which will negatively affect our operations and operating results.


If we incur costs resulting from product liability claims, our operating results will be negatively affected.


If we become subject to product liability claims for Cobroxin®, Nyloxin® and Pet Pain-Away that exceed our product liability policy limits, we may be subject to substantial litigation costs or judgments against us, which will negatively impact upon our financial and operating results.


Loss of any of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results.


We are dependent upon a limited number of our employees: (a) our Chief Executive Officer who directs our operations; and (b) ReceptoPharm’s employeesour Chief Scientific Officer who conductconducts our research and development activities. Our success depends on the continued services of our senior management and key research and development employees as well as our ability to attract additional members to our management and research and development teams. The unexpected loss of the services of any of our management or other key personnel could have a material adverse effect upon our operations and financial results.




23



We may be unable to maintain and expand our business if we are not able to retain, hire and integrate key management and operating personnel.


Our success depends in large part on the continued services and efforts of key management personnel. Competition for such employees is intense and the process of locating key personnel with the combination of skills and attributes required to execute our business strategies may be lengthy. The loss of key personnel could have a material adverse impact on our ability to execute our business objectives. We do not have any key man life insurance on the lives of any of our executive officers.


Risks Related to Our Common Stock


Because the market for our common stock is limited, persons who purchase our common stock may not be able to resell their shares at or above the purchase price paid by them.


Our common stock trades on the OTC-Market, which is not a liquid market. There is currently only a limited public market for our common stock. We cannot assure you that an active public market for our common stock will develop or be sustained in the future. If an active market for our common stock does not develop or is not sustained, the price may decline.


Because we are subject to the “penny stock” rules, brokers cannot generally solicit the purchase of our common stock, which adversely affects its liquidity and market price.


The SEC has adopted regulations, which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our common stock on the OTCQBOTC has been substantially less than $5.00 per share and therefore we are currently considered a “penny stock” according to SEC rules. This designation requires any broker-dealer selling these securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities. These rules limit the ability of broker-dealers to solicit purchases of our common stock and therefore reduce the liquidity of the public market for our shares.


27

Because the majority of our outstanding shares are freely tradable, sales of these shares could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is performing well.


As of December 31, 2015,2018, we had 79,770,7824,046,746,110 outstanding shares that were subject to the limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. In general, Rule 144 provides that any our non-affiliates, who have held restricted common stock for at least six-months, are entitled to sell their restricted stock freely, provided that we stay current in our SEC filings. After one year, a non-affiliate may sell without any restrictions.


An affiliate may sell after one year with the following restrictions: (i) we are current in ours filings, (ii) certain manner of sale provisions, (iii) filing of Form 144, and (iv) volume limitations limiting the sale of shares within any three-month period to a number of shares that does not exceed 1% of the total number of outstanding shares. A person who has ceased to be an affiliate at least three months immediately preceding the sale and who has owned such shares of common stock for at least one year is entitled to sell the shares under Rule 144 without regard to any of the limitations described above.


An investment in our common stock may be diluted in the future as a result of the issuance of additional securities or the exercise of options or warrants.


In order to raise additional capital to fund our strategic plan, we may issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into common stock from time to time, which could result in substantial dilution to any person who purchases our common stock. Because we have a negative net tangible book value, purchasers will suffer substantial dilution. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in raising funds from the sale of common stock or other equity securities.


Since we intend to retain any earnings for development of our business for the foreseeable future, you will likely not receive any dividends for the foreseeable future.


We have not and do not intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future, as we intend to retain any earnings for development and expansion of our business operations. As a result, you will not receive any dividends on your investment for an indefinite period of time.




24



Due to factors beyond our control, our stock price may continue to be volatile.


The market price of our common stock has been and is expected to be highly volatile. Any of the following factors could affect the market price of our common stock:


·our failure to generate revenue,
·our failure to achieve and maintain profitability,
·short selling activities,
·the sale of a large amount of common stock by our shareholders including those who invested prior to commencement of trading,
·actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly results of operations,
·announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, new products, acquisitions, commercial relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments,
·the loss of major customers or product or component suppliers,
·the loss of significant business relationships,
·our failure to meet financial analysts’ performance expectations,
·changes in earnings estimates and recommendations by financial analysts, or
·changes in market valuations of similar companies.

·

our failure to generate revenue,

·

our failure to achieve and maintain profitability,

·

short selling activities,

·

the sale of a large amount of common stock by our shareholders including those who invested prior to commencement of trading,

·

actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly results of operations,

·

announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, new products, acquisitions, commercial relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments,

·

the loss of major customers or product or component suppliers,

·

the loss of significant business relationships,

·

our failure to meet financial analysts’ performance expectations,

·

changes in earnings estimates and recommendations by financial analysts, or

·

changes in market valuations of similar companies.


In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted. A securities class action suit against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s time and attention, which would otherwise be used to benefit our business.

Item 3.   Legal Proceedings


Patricia Meding, et. al. v. ReceptoPharm, Inc. f/k/a Receptogen, Inc.


On August 18, 2006,June 1, 2015, ReceptoPharm was named asentered into a defendant insettlement agreement with Patricia Meding, a former officer and shareholder of ReceptoPharm.  The settlement relates to a lawsuit filed by Ms. Meding against ReceptoPharm (Patricia Meding, et. al. v. ReceptoPharm, Inc. f/k/a Receptogen, Inc., Index No.: 18247/06, (NewNew York Supreme Court, Queens County). The original proceeding in which she claimed that ReceptoPharm owed the Plaintiffs, including Patricia Meding, a former ReceptoPharm officer and shareholder and several corporations that she claims to own the sumcertain shares of $118,928.15 plus interestReceptoPharm stock and counsel feesclaimed to be owed amounts on a series of promissory notes that were allegedly executed in 2001 and 2002. On August 23, 2007, the Queens County New York Supreme Court issued a decision denying Plaintiffs motion for summary judgment in lieu of a complaint, concluding that there were issues of fact concerning the enforceability of the promissory notes. On May 23, 2008, the Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in which they reasserted their original claims and asserted new claims seeking damages of no less than $768,506

The settlement agreement executed on their claims that in or about June 2004 ReceptoPharm breached its fiduciary duty to the Plaintiffs as shareholders of ReceptoPharm by wrongfully canceling certain of their purported ReceptoPharm share certificates. In late 2010, Plaintiffs further amended their complaint alleging that ReceptoPharm violated Plaintiffs contractual and statutory rights by cancelling an additional 30,370 share certificates and failing to permit the Plaintiffs to exercise dissenting shareholder rights with respect to those



25

Liquid Packaging Resources, Inc. v. Nutra Pharma Corp. and Erik “Rik” Deitsch


On April 21, 2011, Nutra Pharma Corp. and its CEO, Erik Deitsch, were named as defendants inLiquid Packaging Resources, Inc. v. Nutra Pharma Corp. and Erik “Rik” Deitsch,, Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, Civil Action No. 2011-CV-199562.2011–CV–199562. Liquid Packaging Resources, Inc. (“LPR”) claimed that Nutra Pharma Corp. and Mr. Deitsch, directly or through other companies, placed orders with LPR that required LPR to purchase components from third parties. LPR sought reimbursement for those third party expenses in the amount of not less than $359,826.85 plus interest. LPR also sought punitive damages in the amount of not less than $500,000 and attorney's fees.


Mr. Deitsch and Nutra Pharma Corp. then removed the action to the United States District Court, Northern District of Georgia, Civil Action No. 11-CV-01663-ODE.11–CV–01663–ODE. After removal, LPR amended the Complaint to assert that Nutra Pharma Corp. and Mr. Deitsch were the alter egos of the alleged other companies through whom the subject orders were placed and therefore should be considered one and the same. Mr. Deitsch and Nutra Pharma Corp.  moved to dismiss the Complaint on several grounds including statute of frauds, failure to state a claim, and jurisdiction (only for Mr. Deitsch).


After June 30, 2011, at

At LPR's request, the parties mediated the dispute before LPR responded to the Motion To Dismiss.dispute. At the mediation, the parties worked out an agreement whereby Nutra Pharma Corp. would purchase from LPR the components LPR purchased from third parties at an amount slightly less than the principal amount of the suit and on terms acceptable to us. The agreed price was $350,000 payable over 7 months in equal $50,000 amounts. This agreement was reached by us because it provided tangible value in exchange for the purchase price rather than incurring the expense of litigation, which would likely be substantial and not recouped. While Nutra Pharma Corp.  had counterclaims we could assert, we believe this was a practical resolution. The settlement allowed us to take possession of the components prior to full payment and, in exchange, provided security to LPR in the form of our stock valued at $400,000 at the time of issuance. The stock can only be sold in event of a default of the payment schedule. The litigation was dismissed in August of 2011.  We madeFollowing several payments under the August, September and November payments (totaling $150,000) in a timely fashion. We were late forparties’ agreement, the parties entered into two amended payment due October 15, 2011 and requested an accommodation from LPR, eventually paying an extra $5,000 towards that payment. At December 31, 2011,schedules as accommodations to Nutra Pharma Corp. had made total payments of $205,000 with an additional $150,000 owed. In order to allow us to skip the December payment, LPR agreed to another accommodation whereby we would pay both the December and January payment with an additional $10,000 on or before January 16, 2012. We were unableit to make thispayments that had been missed.  Nutra Pharma Corp. did not make a payment in March 2012 and on January 26, 2012 signed an amended payment schedule adding an additional $15,000 for a total of $175,000 owed. Our CEO, Rik Deitsch, added additional collateral stock in a separate company that he held personally. $25,000 was paid in January, with subsequent payments of $30,000 due monthly on the 15th of March through the 15th of July, 2012. We failed to make the March payment and wasLPR subsequently called Nutra Pharma Corp. in default of the Agreement. Under the original agreement, if we are in default of the agreement, LPR has the right to sell shares of our free trading stock held in escrow by their attorney and receive cash settlements for a total amount of $450,000 representing the new total cash amount due to LPR by the Company.parties’ agreement. 


On June 11, 2012, LPR sold theirits debt to Southridge Partners, LLP in an agreement to be paid out over time. In August 2013, LPR cancelled their agreement with Southridge Partners, LLP.  AsLPR filed a notice of September 30,intent to administratively dissolve in May 2015 LPR continues to hold(with the collateral stock. We are currently negotiating a settlement with LPR. Upon the settlement of the outstanding debt, LPR will return the collateral shares to the Company.dissolution becoming effective in December 2015) and has not pursued its claimed default against Nutra Pharma Corp. in any court or other formal proceeding since that date.


Involuntary Petition of BankruptcyPaul Reid et al. v. Nutra Pharma Corp. et al.


On August 31, 2012,26, 2016, certain of former ReceptoPharm employees and a former ReceptoPharm consultant filed a Petitionlawsuit in the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Involuntary BankruptcyBroward County, Florida (Case No. CACE16–015834) against usNutra Pharma and Receptopharm to recover $315,000 allegedly owing to them under a settlement agreement reached in an involuntary bankruptcy action that was brought by the same individuals in 2012 and for payment of unpaid wages/breach of written debt confirms.  

Nutra Pharma and Receptopharm believe that the lawsuit is without merit, especially in light of gross misconduct by these former employees that was discovered after execution of the aforementioned settlement agreement. On October 9, 2020, the Court entered an Order denying the plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment with respect to Count I of the Complaint (for alleged breach of the aforementioned settlement agreement), and the parties continue to engage in discovery regarding their respective claims and defenses. The case is currently set for trial during the period from May 10, 2021 to May 28, 2021, but it is unclear at this time with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic (and the resultant cessation of jury trials in Broward County) whether the trial will proceed at that time.

Get Credit Healthy, Inc. v. Nutra Pharma Corp. and Rik Deitsch, Case No. CACE 18-017055

On September 10, 2018, the Defendants filed their Answer and Affirmative Defenses to the Complaint. One of Defendants’ primary defenses to the Complaint was that the majority owner of Get Credit Healthy, Inc. violated the terms of a Binding Memorandum of Understanding by failing to invest in Nutra Pharma Corp. and fraudulently inducing Defendants to enter into the subject amended promissory note. Counsel for Get Credit Healthy, Inc. requested an early mediation conference in an attempt to resolve our dispute. We agreed to this request, and mediation took place on February 15, 2019.  At December 31, 2018, we owed principal balance of $101,818 and accrued interest of $21,023. At mediation, Get Credit Healthy, Inc. claimed that the individual that breached the binding memorandum of understanding with Nutra Pharma Corp. was never an owner of Get Credit Healthy, Inc., but rather, a close friend that encouraged Get Credit Healthy, Inc. to make the subject loan to Nutra Pharma Corp.  Ultimately, the parties were able to reach a Confidential Settlement Agreement to resolve the dispute, and an Agreed Order was entered dismissing the lawsuit. The lawsuit was settled on February 15, 2019 for $104,000 with scheduled payments through May 1, 2020. The repayments were made in full as of November 2020 (See Note 11).

On November 1, 2018, the Defendant filed its Answer and Affirmative Defenses to the Complaint. Defendant believes that this lawsuit is without merit. Moreover, Defendant believes that it has a number of valid defenses to this claim. Among other things, the owner of CSA 8411, LLC violated the terms of a Binding Memorandum of Understanding by failing to invest in Nutra Pharma Corp. and fraudulently inducing Defendant to enter into the subject amended promissory note (contrary to the Get Credit Healthy lawsuit discussed above, we are certain that this individual is the majority owner of CSA 8411, LLC). Opposing counsel reached out to schedule mediation, and mediation was set for June 21, 2019 in Plantation, FL however the mediation was unsuccessful.  At December 31, 2018, we owed principal balance of $91,156 and accrued interest of $19,010 (See Note 6) if the defenses and our new claims are deemed be of no merit.

Defendant also filed affirmative claims against the Plaintiff, its owner Dan Oran and several relate entities. The case has not been set for trial as of this date.

Securities and Exchange Commission v. Nutra Pharma Corporation, Erik Deitsch, and Sean Peter McManus

On September 28, 2018, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) filed a lawsuit in the United States BankruptcyDistrict Court Southernfor the Eastern District of Florida. The Petitioners originally claimed they were owed $990,927 fromNew York (Case No. 2:18-cv-05459) against Nutra Pharma, Mr. Deitsch, and Mr. McManus. The lawsuit alleges that, from July 2013 through June 2018, Nutra Pharma and the other defendants defrauded investors by making materially false and misleading statements about Nutra Pharma and violated anti-fraud and other securities laws.

The violations alleged against Nutra Pharma by the SEC include: (a) raising over $920,000.00 in at least two private placement offerings for which Nutra Pharma failed to file required registration statements with the formSEC; (b) issuing a series of accrued wagesmaterially false or misleading press releases; (c) making false statements in at least one Form 10-Q; and promissory notes,(d) failing to make required public filings with the SEC to disclose Nutra Pharma’s issuance of millions of shares of stock. The lawsuit makes additional allegations against Mr. McManus and Mr. Deitsch, including that Mr. McManus acted as a broker without SEC registration and defrauded at least one investor by making false statements about Nutra Pharma, that Mr. Deitsch engaged in manipulative trades of Nutra Pharma’s stock by offering to pay more for shares he was purchasing than the amount the seller was willing to take, and that Mr. Deitsch failed to make required public filings with the SEC. The lawsuit seeks both injunctive and monetary relief.

On May 29, 2019 (following each of the defendants filing motions to dismiss), the SEC filed a First Amended Complaint which generally alleged the same conduct as its original Complaint, but amended their claim to $816,662accounted for certain guidance provided by the United States Supreme Court in a subsequent filing. In response tocase that had been recently decided. Each of the Petition, we filed a motiondefendants then moved to dismiss the actionSEC’s First Amended Complaint. On March 31, 2020, the Court entered an Order granting in part and denying in part the various motions to dismiss. Following that Order, the SEC filed a Second Amended Complaint (the operative pleading) and the defendants have filed their answers which if successful, would avoidgenerally deny liability. At this time, discovery is closed and the case being converted intoSEC has indicated an actual bankruptcy action. On September 30, 2013,intent to file a summary judgment motion regarding certain non-fraud claims asserted in its Second Amended Complaint. The defendants have opposed the Company entered intoSEC’s request to file such motion(s), and a Settlement Agreement withhearing on that request is set for February 23, 2021. Nutra Pharma disputes the Petitioners, which is effective uponallegations in this lawsuit and continues to vigorously defend against the court dismissal ofSEC’s claims. Mr. Deitsch and Mr. McManus have similarly defended the action.  In fulllawsuit since its filing and final satisfaction of all claims, the Company settled the Agreement with the Petitioners for a total sum of $350,000.  $35,000 waseach contest liability. Nutra Pharma does not believe that it engaged in any fraudulent activity or made during the year ended December 31, 2013 and aany material misrepresentations concerning Nutra Pharma and/or its products.

second lump sum payment was due within 8 months from February 12, 2014, the date the court dismissed the action.  The Parties executed mutual releases exclusive of releases under the Settlement Agreement. On October 21, 2014 we received a Notice of Default from the Petitioners' counsel. We have responded to the notice and will be seeking remedies to the alleged default. As of December 31, 2015, the Petitioner's claims and accruals for a total of $1,085,468 that have passed the statute of limitation were written off, included in the amount was the accrued salary of $815,747, officer’s loan and accrued interest for $129,466, salary and payroll tax payable of $140,255. Since the Petitioners can only reinforce the settlement amount due to passing of statute of limitation, the Company has accrued the settlement for $315,000 and recorded the gain on settlement of $770,968 in other income.

Penny Stock Considerations


Our shares of common stock are “penny stocks” as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Our shares are subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.


Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or “accredited investor” must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt. Generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 individually or $300,000 together with his or her spouse is considered an accredited investor.


In addition, under the penny stock regulations the broker-dealer is required to:


·Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt;
·Disclose commission payable to the broker-dealer and its registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities;
·Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer's account, the account's value and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; and
·Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer's account.

·

Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt;

·

Disclose commission payable to the broker-dealer and its registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities;

·

Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer's account, the account's value and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; and

·

Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer's account.


Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may be adversely affected, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares are subject to such penny stock rules and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.

Item 6.   Selected Financial Data


As a Smaller Reporting Company, we are not required to provide information required by Item 6.


Item 7.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), we have adopted various accounting policies. Our most significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.


The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Our estimates and assumptions, including those related to the ability to continue as going concern, legal proceedings, the recoverability of inventory, long-lived assets, the fair value of stock-based compensation, the fair value of debt, and the fair value of warrant liabilities are updated as appropriate, which in most cases is at least quarterly. We base our estimates on historical experience, or various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and the results form the basis for making judgments about the reported values of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates.


Estimates are considered to be critical if they meet both of the following criteria: (1) the estimate requires assumptions about material matters that are uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made, and (2) other materially different estimates could have been reasonably made or material changes in the estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Our critical accounting estimates include the following:

Revenue Recognition: 

In general,May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, originally effective for public business entities with annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effective date of ASC 606 for one year. ASC 606 provides accounting guidance related to revenue from contracts with customers. For public business entities, ASC 606 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. This new revenue recognition standard (new guidance) has a five-step process: a) Determine whether a contract exists; b) Identify the performance obligations; c) Determine the transaction price; d) Allocate the transaction price; and e) Recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied. The Company has evaluated the impact of ASC 606 and determined that there is no change to the Company's accounting policies, except for the recording of certain product sales to a distributor, in which a portion of the cash proceeds received is remitted back to the distributor. Under ASC 606, the Company determined that these sales should be recorded on a gross basis.

Our revenues are primarily derived from customer orders for the purchase of our products. We recognize revenues as performance obligations are fulfilled when control passes to our customers. We record revenues net of promotions and discounts. For certain product sales to a distributor, we record revenue when persuasive evidenceincluding a portion of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales pricecash proceeds that is remitted back to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Provision for sales returns will be estimated based on the Company's historical return experience.distributor.


Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:Our accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value. Accounts receivable are comprised of balances due from customers net of estimated allowances for uncollectible accounts. In determining collectability, historical trends are evaluated and specific customer issues are reviewed to arrive at appropriate allowances.


37

Inventory Obsolescence: Inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or market value. We periodically perform an evaluation of inventory for excess, impairments and obsolete items. At December 31, 20142018, our inventory consisted entirely of raw materials and finished goods that are utilized in the manufacturing of finished goods. These raw materials generally have expiration dates in excess of 10 years. At December 31, 2015 our inventory consisted both raw materials and finished goods.


Long-Lived Assets: The carrying value of long-lived assets is reviewed annually and on a regular basis for the existence of facts and circumstances that may suggest impairment. If indicators of impairment are present, we determine whether the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the long-lived asset in question is less than its carrying amount. If less, we measure the amount of the impairment based on the amount that the carrying value of the impaired asset exceeds the discounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposal of the impaired assets.


Derivative Financial Instrument:We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. Management evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option-based simple derivative financial instruments, we usethe Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. For complex embedded derivatives, we use a Dilution-Adjusted Black-Scholes method to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.


We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.

Share-Based Compensation:We record share-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation. FASB ASC 718 requires that the cost resulting from all share-based transactions are recorded in the financial statements over the respective service periods. It establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value-based measurement in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. FASB ASC 718 also establishes fair value as the measurement objective for transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services from non-employees in share-based payment transactions.

On April 20, 2015, our stockholders voted at a special meeting of the shareholders held in Coral Springs, Florida to approve a one-for-forty reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock.   Under the adopted proposal, each forty shares of our presently issued and outstanding Common Stock as of the close of business on the effective dateTGA (Therapeutics Goods Administration), they will be converted automatically into one share of our post-Reverse Split Common Stock. Fractional sharesable to warehouse, market and "odd lots"distribute Nyloxin throughout their territories. We believe this will rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Reverse Split does not change the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock. The principal effect of the Reverse Split will be the reductionallow for broad distribution and marketing in the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, from 1,510,950,321 shares as of March 6, 2015 to 39,123,758 shares after the Reverse Split is deemed effective. The Reverse Split will affect all of our shareholders uniformly and will not affect any shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in Nutra or any shareholder’s proportionate voting power. Per share and weighted average amounts have been retroactively restated in the accompanying financial statements and related notes to reflect this stock split.

On May 26, 2015 we announced that we had engaged Medical Strategy Consultants, LLC to aid the company in the filing of Orphan Drug applications with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). The first application under development is for the treatment of Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis with the Company's lead drug candidate, RPI-78M. In order to create the application, RPI-78M needed to meet several key criteria. This included preclinical data in support of the drug that provided a reasonable rationale for the treatment of the disease based on its potential ability to treat the symptoms of multiple sclerosis. The FDA grants Orphan Drug Designation status to products that treat rare diseases, providing incentives to sponsors developing drugs or biologics. The Orphan Drug Act of 1983 is intended to assist and encourage companies to develop safe and effective therapies for the treatment of rare diseases and disorders, defined as those affecting fewer than 200,000 Americans at any given time. The designation of RPI-78M as an Orphan Drug would provide Nutra Pharma with a 7-year period of market exclusivity in the U.S. upon approval of the drug, as well as tax credits for clinical research costs, the ability to apply for grant funding, clinical trial design assistance, assistance from the FDA in the drug development process and the waiver of Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) filing fees which could be in excess of $2.5 million. The decision to proceed with an Orphan Drug Designation submission is part of Nutra Pharma's plan to move forward with the preparation of an Investigative New Drug Application.

On July 15, 2015February 21, 2018 we announced that we had filed an application witha new provisional patent to protect our intellectual property surrounding the FDA for orphan drug statusdevelopment of nerve agent counter measures. Nerve agents are identified as a class of phosphorus-containing organic chemicals (organophosphates) that may disrupt the transfer of messages to organs through the nerves. This disruption is caused by the over-stimulation of certain receptors on the surface of the Company's RPI-78M drug candidate forneurons. These same receptors are the treatmenttarget of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in children. This representsour drugs, which may block the first such filing foraction of the company.nerve agents or minimize the damage that they may cause.

Results of Operations


Status of Operations


In November, 2014 we announced the recertification of our laboratory facility as the first step in re-engaging our drug development activities. In September, 2015 we received Orphan designation from the FDA for our lead drug candidate, RPI-78M for the treatment of Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis. This will allow us to shorten the timeline on clinical studies and may allow an eventualFast Trackthrough the approval process. We are currently working with our consultants to prepare a pre-IND meeting with the FDA in order to gain approval of a protocol for a Phase I/II clinical study in Pediatric MS. Our goal is to begin the study by the end of 2016.2019.


We estimate that we will require approximately $600,000 to fund our existing operations and the operations of our subsidiary ReceptoPharm over the next twelve months. These costs include: (i) compensation for four (4) full-time employees; (ii) compensation for various consultants who we deem critical to our business; (iii) general office expenses including rent and utilities; (iv) product liability insurance; and (v) outside legal and accounting services. These costs reflected in (i) – (v) do not include research and development costs or other costs associated with clinical studies.


We began generating revenues from the sale of Cobroxin® in the fourth quarter of 2009 and from the sale of Nyloxin® and Nyloxin®Extra Strength in January of 2011. We began sales of Pet Pain-Away in December 2014. While sales have increaseddecreased year over year, they have been limited and inconsistent. Our ability to meet our future operating expenses is highly dependent on the amount of such future revenues. If future revenues from the sale of Cobroxin®, Nyloxin®and Pet Pain-Away are insufficient to cover our operating expenses we may need to raise additional equity capital, which could result in substantial dilution to existing shareholders. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient equity capital to fund our working capital requirements on terms acceptable to us, or at all. We may also seek additional loans from our officers and directors; however, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in securing such additional loans.


Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 20152018 and 20142017


Sales for the year ended December 31, 20152018 were $291,302$130,596 compared to $594,505$120,979 for the comparable period in 2014.2017. All of the sales in 20152018 and 20142017 were related to product sales. On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic revenue recognition methodology under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. The impact to revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017 would be an increase of $56,162 as a result of applying ASC 606 to certain revenues generated through online distributors which are now presented gross as we have control over providing the products related to such revenues. The decrease in sales is primarily attributable to an overall decrease in sales of Nyloxin®.


Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 20152018 and 20142017 was $65,805$68,777 and $114,300.$26,903. Cost of sales includes the direct costs associated with manufacturing, shipping and handling costs. Our gross profit margin for the year ended December 31, 20152018 was $225,497$61,819 or 77.4%47.3% compared to $480,205$94,076 or 80.8%77.8% for the year ended December 31, 2014.2017. The decrease in our profit margin is primarily due to increase in the credit card processing fees.fees and manufacturing cost. In addition, we had an impairment of prepaid inventory of $47,757 and $0 for the years ended December 31 2018 and 2017, respectively, due to slow-moving inventory.


Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased $3,309,151$416,908 or 123.4%28.3% from $2,682,479$1,476,016 for the year ended December 31, 20142017 to $5,991,630$1,892,924 for the year ended December 31, 2015.2018. The increase is generally due to the increase in bad debt expense - officer loans of stock based compensation of approximately $2,230,000, the increase of approximately $1,450,000 in selling expense related to distributors and loss on settlement of accounts payable, and the increase was$505,470, offset by the overall decrease of approximately $370,800$88,562 in consulting, investor relations, payroll, travel and professional fees.

Interest expense increased $306,443 or 239.2%, from $128,104 for the year ended December 31, 2014 to $434,547 for the year ended December 31, 2015.2018.  This increase was primarily due to amortization of loan discount for the short term and long term indebtedness in the year ended December 31, 20152018 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014.2017.


We carry certain of our debentures and common stock warrants at fair value. For the year ended December 31, 20152018 and 2014,2017, the liability related to these hybrid instruments fluctuated, resulting in a loss of $250,121$2,146,950 and $208,190,$2,273,968, respectively. Interest expense on these debentures is included in the fair value loss in the statements of operations.

 

Gain on settlement of debtdebts and accounts payable increased $1,025,673$919,947 or 18,371.4%6,483.5%, from a gainloss of $5,583$14,189 for the year ended December 31, 20142017 to a gain of $1,031,256$905,758 for the year ended December 31, 2015.2018.  This increase was due to anthe increase of approximately of $255,000 in gain on settlement of debts and accounts payable through debt sale and a gainissuance of approximately $770,000stocks.

Our net loss decreased by $14,053 or 3.58%, from $4,028,748 for the year ended December 31, 2017 to $3,884,695 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


During December 31, 20152018 and 2014,2017, respectively, we have negative cash from operations of approximately $1.02$1.00 million and $0.15$1.14 million. Our lack of cash, significant losses and working capital and stockholders’ deficits raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. For the years ended December 31, 20152018 and 2014,2017, we have experienced significant losses totaling $5,391,981$3,884,695 and $2,532,985,$4,028,748, respectively and had an accumulated deficit of $49,911,786for$61,272,842 for the period from our inception to December 31, 2015.2018. In addition, we had working capital and stockholders’ deficits at December 31, 20152018 of $3,404,497$5,911,233 and $3,574,396,$5,936,593, respectively.


Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon our ability to secure additional financing, increase ownership equity and attain profitable operations. In addition, our ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered in established markets and the competitive environment in which we operate.


As of December 31, 2015,2018, we had $6,890$0 in cash and as of April 14, 2016, we had approximately $8,000 in cash and we owed approximately $281,280$2.36 million in vendor payables.payables and accrued expenses. We currently do not have sufficient cash to sustain our operations for the next 12 months and will require additional financing or an increase in sales in order to execute our operating plan and continue as a going concern. Our plan is to continue to increase sales of our products and attempt to secure adequate funding to bridge the commercialization of our Cobroxin®, Nyloxin®and Pet Pain-Away products. We cannot predict whether additional financing will be in the form of equity, debt, or another form and we may be unable to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In the event that these financing sources do not materialize, or that we are unsuccessful in increasing our revenues and profits, we may be unable to implement our current plans for expansion, repay our obligations as they become due or continue as a going concern, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.


Historically, we have relied upon loans from our Chief Executive Officer Rik J Deitsch, to fund costs associated with our operations. These loans are unsecured, accrue interest at a rate of 4.0% per annum and are due on demand. At December 31, 2018, the balance due to our officer is $186,497. During the year ended December 31, 2015,2018, we borrowed $70,821advanced $162,775 to and repaid $351,583 tocollected $105,900 from Mr. Deitsch and the companiesCompanies owned by him. As of December 31, 2018, we recorded a bad debt expense of $505,470 which represents a full valuation allowance for amounts owed by these Companies.


During the year ended December 31, 2015,2018, we raised $588,289 and $441,500net cash proceeds of $1,101,800 through the issuance of convertible notesnotes.

Impact of COVID-19 on our Operations

The ramifications of the outbreak of the novel strain of COVID-19, reported to have started in December 2019 and promissory notes, respectively.spread globally, are filled with uncertainty and changing quickly. Our operations have continued during the COVID-19 pandemic and we have not had significant disruption. Beginning in June 2020, the Company experienced a delay in retail rollout as a downstream implication of the slowing economy. We also raised $786,300 through salesclosed our Coral Springs office in effort to save money. During May 2020, we received approval from SBA to fund our request for a PPP loan for $64,895. We intended to use the proceeds primarily for payroll costs. During April and June 2020, we obtained the loan in the amount of common stocks.$154,900 from SBA under its Economic Injury Disaster Loan assistance program. We intended to use the proceeds primarily for working capital purpose.


The Company is operating in a rapidly changing environment so the extent to which COVID-19 impacts its business, operations and financial results from this point forward will depend on numerous evolving factors that the Company cannot accurately predict. Those factors include the following: the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic; and the development of widespread testing or a vaccine.

Uncertainties and Trends


Our operations and possible revenues are dependent now and in the future upon the following factors:


·Whether we successfully develop and commercialize products from our research and development activities.
·If we fail to compete effectively in the intensely competitive biotechnology area, our operations and market position will be negatively impacted.
·If we fail to successfully execute our planned partnering and out-licensing of products or technologies, our future performance will be adversely affected.
·The recent economic downturn and related credit and financial market crisis may adversely affect our ability to obtain financing, conduct our operations and realize opportunities to successfully bring our technologies to market.
·Biotechnology industry related litigation is substantial and may continue to rise, leading to greater costs and unpredictable litigation.
·If we fail to comply with extensive legal/regulatory requirements affecting the healthcare industry, we will face increased costs, and possibly penalties and business losses.

Section 1.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:


As of December 31, 2015,2018, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and the participation of our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2015,2018, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting discussed in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, at a reasonable assurance level, as of December 31, 2015.2018. In light of this, we performed additional post-closing procedures and analyses in order to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. As a result of these procedures, we believe our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. A control system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, with the company have been detected.


Section 2.


Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting


During its evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015,2018, our management concluded that its material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting include matters pertaining to: (a) lack of qualified accounting personnel; (b) inadequate segregation of duties, and (b)(c) the need to enhance the supervision, monitoring and reviewing of financial statement preparation processes due to lack of qualified accounting personnel.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is the process designed by and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, or the persons performing similar functions, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)(COSO-2013) in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies. Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20152018 and concluded that it is ineffective because of the material weaknesses. These identified material weaknesses included (i) an insufficient accounting staff; (ii) inadequate segregation of duties; (iii) limited checks and balances in processing cash and other transactions; and (iv) lack of independent directors and an independent audit committee.

To remedy these weaknesses, when financially able, we plan to supplement our internal control overaccounting staff with additional experienced financial professionals, redefining and realigning responsibilities and by defining additional controls, reporting described above.processes and procedures to address the accounting requirements and disclosures, and engage independent directors and a qualified independent audit committee.


In addition, until we locate and engage appropriate accounting personnel, we will engage third party consultants to assist in accounting for complex transactions and disclosures.

The material weaknesses discussed above will not be considered remediated until the necessary personnel have been engaged and the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

NUTRA PHARMA CORP.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 20152018 and 20142017


1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Organization


Nutra Pharma Corp. (“Nutra Pharma”), is a holding company that owns intellectual property and operates in the biotechnology industry. Nutra Pharma was incorporated under the laws of the state of California on February 1, 2000, under the original name of Exotic-Bird.com.


Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, ReceptoPharm, Inc. (“ReceptoPharm”), Nutra Pharma conducts drug discovery research and development activities. In October 2009, Nutra Pharma launched its first consumer product called Cobroxin®, an over-the-counter pain reliever designed to treat moderate to severe chronic pain. In May 2010, Nutra Pharma launched its second consumer product called Nyloxin®, an over-the-counter pain reliever that is a stronger version of Cobroxin® and is designed to treat severe chronic pain. In December 2014, we launched Pet Pain-Away, an over-the-counter pain reliever designed to treat pain in cats and dogs.


Basis of Presentation and Consolidation


The accompanying consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements include the results of Nutra Pharma and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Designer Diagnostics Inc. and ReceptoPharm (collectively “the Company”, “us”, “we” or “our”). We operate as one reportable segment. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.


Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. Adjustments have been made to the Consolidated Balance sheets for the year ended December 31, 2017, to reclassify accrued interest to related parties, accrued payroll due to officers, and accrued payroll taxes. An adjustments has been made to Consolidated Statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017, to reclassify interest expense to related parties. These changes in classification also affected cash flows from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2017 in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Liquidity and Going Concern


Our Consolidated Financial Statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplate the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have experienced recurring, significant losses from operations, and have an accumulated deficit of $49,911,786$61,272,842 at December 31, 2015.2018. In addition, we had respectivehave a significant amount of indebtedness in default, a working capital deficit of $5,911,233 and a stockholders’ deficitsdeficit of $5,936,593 at December 31, 2015 of $3,404,497 and $3,574,396, respectively.  2018.


There is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern which is contingent upon our ability to secure additional financing, increase ownership equity and attain profitable operations. In addition, our ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered in established markets and the competitive environment in which we operate.


As of December 31, 2015, weWe do not have sufficient cash to sustain our operations for a period of twelve months from the next yearissuance date of this report and will require additional financing in order to execute our operating plan and continue as a going concern. Since our sales are not currently adequate to fund our operations, we continue to rely principally on debt and equity funding; however proceeds from such funding have not been sufficient to execute our business plan. Our plan is to attempt to secure adequate funding until sales of our pain products are adequate to fund our operations. We cannot predict whether additional financing will be available, and/or whether any such funding will be in the form of equity, debt, or another form. In the event that these financing sources do not materialize, or if we are unsuccessful in increasing our revenues and profits, we will be unable to implement our current plans for expansion, repay our obligations as they become due and continue as a going concern.


The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.


Impact of COVID-19 on our Operations 

The ramifications of the outbreak of the novel strain of COVID-19, reported to have started in December 2019 and spread globally, are filled with uncertainty and changing quickly. Our operations have continued during the COVID-19 pandemic and we have not had significant disruption. Beginning in June 2020, the Company experienced a delay in retail rollout as a downstream implication of the slowing economy. We also closed our Coral Springs office in effort to save money. During May 2020, we received approval from SBA to fund our request for a PPP loan for $64,895. We intended to use the proceeds primarily for payroll costs. During April and June 2020, we obtained the loan in the amount of $154,900 from SBA under its Economic Injury Disaster Loan assistance program. We intended to use the proceeds primarily for working capital purpose (See Note 13).

F-8

The Company is operating in a rapidly changing environment so the extent to which COVID-19 impacts its business, operations and financial results from this point forward will depend on numerous evolving factors that the Company cannot accurately predict. Those factors include the following: the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic; and the development of widespread testing or a vaccine.

Use of Estimates


The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions 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 expense. Significant estimates include our ability to continue as going concern, the recoverability of inventories and long-lived assets, andthe recoverability of amounts due from officer, the valuation of stock-based compensation and certain debt and warrant liabilities.liabilities, recognition of loss contingencies and deferred tax valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates, which would be recorded in the period in which they become known.




Revenue Recognition


In general, we recordMay 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, originally effective for public business entities with annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effective date of ASC 606 for one year. ASC 606 provides accounting guidance related to revenue from contracts with customers. For public business entities, ASC 606 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. This new revenue recognition standard (new guidance) has a five-step process: a) Determine whether a contract exists; b) Identify the performance obligations; c) Determine the transaction price; d) Allocate the transaction price; and e) Recognize revenue when persuasive evidence(or as) performance obligations are satisfied. The Company has evaluated the impact of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales priceASC 606 and determined that there is no change to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. ProvisionCompany's accounting policies, except for the recording of certain product sales returns is estimated based on our historical return experience. Revenue is presented net of returns and allowances for returns.


The Company collects 100% of the cash proceeds from the sale of its product by itsto a distributor, remitsin which a portion of the cash proceeds received is remitted back to the distributor and recordsdistributor. Under ASC 606, the saleCompany determined that these sales should be recorded on a gross basis.

Our revenues are primarily derived from customer orders for the purchase of our products. We recognize revenues as performance obligations are fulfilled upon delivery of products. We record revenues net basis. Inof promotions and discounts. For certain product sales to a distributor, we record revenue including a portion of the yearscash proceeds that is remitted back to the distributor.

Adoption of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic revenue recognition methodology under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition.

The cumulative impact of adopting ASC 606 resulted in no changes to retained earnings at January 1, 2018. The impact to revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014,2018 was an increase of $4,403 as a result of applying ASC 606 to certain revenues generated through online distributors which are now presented gross as we have control over providing the Company collected $862,661 and $1,558,124 in gross receipts and recorded $291,302 and $594,505products related to such revenues.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the revenue recognized from contracts with customers was $130,596. The impact of adoption of ASC 606 on our consolidated statement of operations was as net sales.follows:

Accounting for Shipping and Handling Costs


The Company recordsWe record shipping and handling costs incurred in cost of sales.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


F-9

We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts


The Company grantsWe grant credit without collateral to itsour customers based on the Company’sour evaluation of a particular customer’s credit worthiness. Accounts receivable are due 30 days after the issuance of the invoice. In addition, allowances for doubtful accounts are maintained for potential credit losses based on the age of the accounts receivable and the results of the Company’s periodic credit evaluations of itsour customers’ financial condition. Accounts receivable are written off after collection efforts have been deemed to be unsuccessful. Accounts written off as uncollectible are deducted from the allowance for doubtful accounts, while subsequent recoveries are netted against the provision for doubtful accounts expense. The CompanyWe generally doesdo not charge interest on accounts receivable. We use third party payment processors and are required to maintain reserve balances, which are included in accounts receivables.


Accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value. Accounts receivable are comprised of balances due from customers net of estimated allowances for uncollectible accounts. Management believes that the receivables are fully collectable. Therefore, no allowance for doubtful account is deemed to be required at December 31, 2018 and 2017.


Inventories


Inventories, which are stated at the lower of average cost or market, andnet realizable value, consist of packaging materials, finished products, and raw venom that is utilized to make the API (active pharmaceutical ingredient). The raw unprocessed venom has an indefinite life for use. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand. If necessary it records a provisionnet realizable value adjustment for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on its estimates of component obsolescence, product demand and production requirements. Write-downs are charged to cost of goods sold. We performed evaluationsan evaluation of our inventory during the years endedand related accounts at December 31, 20152018, and 2014increased the reserve on supplier advances for future venom purchases included in the prepaid expenses and determined no allowances need to be recorded.other current assets by $47,757. At December 31, 2018, the total valuation allowance for prepaid venom is $200,911.


Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk


Our financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, loans payable, due to officers and derivative financial instruments. Other than certain warrant and convertible instruments (derivative financial instruments) and liabilities to related parties (for which it was impracticable to estimate fair value due to uncertainty as to when they will be satisfied and a lack of similar type transactions in the marketplace), we believe the carrying values of our financial instruments approximate their fair values because they are short term in nature or payable on demand. Our derivative financial instruments are carried at a measured fair value.


Balances in various cash accounts may at times exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2018, there were two customers that accounted for 32% and 27% of the total revenues, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2017, there were two customers that accounted for 38% and 15% of the total revenues, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 20152018 and 2014, no customers accounted for more than 10%2017, 84% and 85% of the Company’s total revenues.accounts receivable balance are reserves due from two payment processors.


Derivative Financial Instruments


The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. Management evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option-based simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. For embedded derivatives, the Company uses a Dilution-Adjusted




Black-Scholes method to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.


We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.

Convertible Debt


The Company bifurcates theFor convertible debt that does not contain an embedded derivative element in convertiblethat requires bifurcation, the conversion feature is evaluated to determine if the rate of conversion is below market value and should be categorized as a beneficial conversion feature ("BCF"). A BCF related to debt which contain conversion features which are not consideredis recorded by the Company as a debt discount and with the offset recorded to be conventional convertible debt.equity. The related convertible debt is recorded atnet of the bifurcated amount after reducing the proceedsdiscount for the liability related to the embedded call provision which is accounted for separately in the accompanying balance sheets.  After recording the initial amount of the debt, theBCF. The discount related to the bifurcated embedded derivative is amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the debt with the resulting debt discount being accreted over the term of the note.


The Fair Value Measurement Option

We have elected the fair value measurement option for convertible debt with embedded derivatives that require bifurcation, and record the entire hybrid financing instrument at fair value under the guidance of ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC Topic 815"). The Company reports interest expense, including accrued interest, related to this convertible debt under the fair value option, within the change in fair value of convertible notes and derivatives in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Property and Equipment and Long-Lived Assets


Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Expenditures for major improvements and additions are added to property and equipment, while replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not extend the useful lives are expensed. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets of 3 – 7 years.

We review our long-lived assets for recoverability if events or changes in circumstances indicate the assets may be impaired. At December 31, 2015, we believe the carrying values of our long-lived assets are recoverable. Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $11,222 and $16,594, respectively.


Advertising


All advertising costs are expensed as incurred.  Advertising costs were approximately $2,138 and $6,156 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.


Income Taxes


We compute income taxes in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740,Income Taxes(“ASC Topic 740”). Under ASC Topic 740, deferred taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets also arise from net operating losses carried forward. Also, the effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Temporary differences between financial and tax reporting arise primarily from the use of different methods to record bad debts and /or sales returns, inventory reserves, and inventory reserves.accrued expense.


On an annual basis, we evaluate tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken in our tax returns to determine if they are more than likely to be sustained if the taxing authority examines the respective position. As ofAt December 31, 2015,2018 and 2017, we do not believe we have a need to record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions or provisions for interest or penalties related to such positions.


Since inception, we have been subject to tax by both federal and state taxing authorities. Until the respective statutes of limitations expire (which may be as much as 20 years while we have unused net operation losses), we are subject to income tax audits in the jurisdictions in which we operate. The Company’s 2012 to 2015 tax returns are subject to examination by Internal Revenue Services and State Taxing Agency’s.


On July 18, 2015, the Company received a notice of penalty charge of $35,296 from IRS for failure to file Forms W-2 for tax period ended at December 31, 2011. During February 2016, the Company signed a payment agreement to pay the penalty.

Stock-Based Compensation


We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718,Stock Compensation(ASC Topic 718)718”). ASC Topic 718, which requires that the cost resulting from all share-based transactions be recorded in the financial statements over the respective service periods. It establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value-based measurement in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. The statement also establishes fair value as the measurement objective for transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services from non-employees in share-based payment transactions.


Net Loss Per Share


Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260,Earnings per Share. Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During periods in which we incur losses, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered, as their effect would be anti-dilutive or have no effect on earnings per share. Any common shares issued as of a result of the exercise of stock options and warrants would come from newly issued common shares from our remaining authorized shares. As of December 31, 2015and 2014,2018 and 2017, the following items were not included in dilutive loss as the effect is anti-dilutive:

Thelease term. ASU 2016-02 does not affectsignificantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. For public companies, the ASUlessee accounting model. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. We have adopted the provisions of this ASU for the year ended December 31, 2015.


In May 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-07, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)” removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments also remove the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Rather, those disclosures are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using that practical expedient. This ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. A reporting entity should apply the amendments retrospectively to all periods presented. The retrospective approach requires that an investment for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient be removed from the fair value hierarchy in all periods presented in an entity’s financial statements. Earlier application is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.


In June 2015,FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-10, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” covers a wide range of Topics in the Codification.  The amendments represent changes to clarify the Codification, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. Additionally, some of the amendments will make the Codification easier to understand and easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies, providing needed clarifications, and improving the presentation of guidance in the Codification.Transition guidance varies based on the amendments in this ASU. The amendments in this ASU that require transition guidance are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015.

2.     FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS


Certain assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as ofat December 31, 2015are2018 are measured in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820-10-05,Fair Value Measurements. FASB ASC Topic 820-10-05 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities as well as for non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements.


The statement requires fair value measurement be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:


Level 1:

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2:

Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3:

Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity).


The following table summarizes our financial instruments measured at fair value as ofat December 31, 20152018 and 2014:December 31, 2017:

In the evaluation of these financing arrangements, the Company concluded that these conversion features did not meet the conditions set forth in current accounting standards for equity classification. Since equity classification is not available for the conversion feature, it requires bifurcation and liability classification, at fair value.

The holder of this convertible note has substantial rights and protections regarding dilution if certain events, including a default were to occur. There are a number of events that could trigger a default, including but not limited to failure to pay principal or interest, failure to issue shares under the conversion feature, breach of covenants, breach of representations and warranties, appointment of a receiver or trustee, judgments, bankruptcy, delisting of common stock, failure to comply with the exchange act, liquidation, cessation of operations, failure to maintain assets, material financial statement restatement, reverse split of borrowers stock, etc. In the event of these events the lender may be entitled to receive significant amounts of additional stock above the amounts for conversion.

Due to the uncertainty of the utilization and recoverability of the loss carry-forwards and other deferred tax assets, we have provided a valuation allowance to fully reserve such assets. The valuation allowances (decreased) increased by approximately ($3,748,000) and $803,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.


As of December 31, 2015,2017, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $32,270,000$35.4 million available to offset future taxable income in various years through December 31, 2034.  The significant difference between such2037. As of December 31, 2018, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards and our accumulated deficit of approximately $17,782,000$35.8 million available to offset future taxable income with no expiration date.

In December 2017, the United States Government passed new tax legislation that, among other provisions, lowered the corporate tax rate from 34% to 21%. In addition to applying the new lower corporate tax rate in 2018 and thereafter to any taxable income the Company may have, the legislation affects the way the Company can use and carryforward net operating losses previously accumulated and results primarilyin a revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities recorded on the balance sheet. Given that current deferred tax assets are offset by a full valuation allowance, these changes will have no net impact on the balance sheet. However, when the Company becomes profitable, the Company will receive a reduced benefit from stock based compensation and debt settlements which are considered to be permanent differences.such deferred tax assets.


The valuation allowances increased by approximately $207,000Company’s 2017 and $155,000 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company’s 2012 to 20152018 tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Services and State Taxing Agency’s.  various state authorities.

Litigation


Patricia Meding, et. al. v. ReceptoPharm, Inc. f/k/a Receptogen, Inc.


On August 18, 2006,June 1, 2015, ReceptoPharm was named asentered into a defendant insettlement agreement with Patricia Meding, a former officer and shareholder of ReceptoPharm.  The settlement relates to a lawsuit filed by Ms. Meding against ReceptoPharm (Patricia Meding, et. al. v. ReceptoPharm, Inc. f/k/a Receptogen, Inc., Index No.: 18247/06, (NewNew York Supreme Court, Queens County). The original proceeding in which she claimed that ReceptoPharm owed the Plaintiffs, including Patricia Meding, a former ReceptoPharm officer and shareholder and several corporations that she claims to own the sumcertain shares of $118,928.15 plus interestReceptoPharm stock and counsel feesclaimed to be owed amounts on a series of promissory notes that were allegedly executed in 2001 and 2002. On




August 23, 2007, the Queens County New York Supreme Court issued a decision denying Plaintiffs motion for summary judgment in lieu of a complaint, concluding that there were issues of fact concerning the enforceability of the promissory notes. On May 23, 2008, the Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in which they reasserted their original claims and asserted new claims seeking damages of no less than $768,506 on their claims that in or about June 2004 ReceptoPharm breached its fiduciary duty to the Plaintiffs as shareholders of ReceptoPharm by wrongfully canceling certain of their purported ReceptoPharm share certificates. In late 2010, Plaintiffs further amended their complaint alleging that ReceptoPharm violated Plaintiffs contractual and statutory rights by cancelling an additional 30,370 share certificates and failing to permit the Plaintiffs to exercise dissenting shareholder rights with respect to those share certificates. The damages associated with the Plaintiffs' claims could rise as the result of increases in our share price as the Receptopharm shares may be convertible into our common shares. The potential exposure may exceed $10,000,000 if the Plaintiffs are successful with all of their claims.


ReceptoPharm believes the suit is without merit and has filed an answer denying the material allegations of the amended complaint and asserted a series of counterclaims against the Plaintiffs alleging claims for declaratory judgment, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion and unjust enrichment as a result of the promissory notes. Plaintiffs have moved for partial summary judgmentsettlement agreement executed on their claims regarding the additional 30,370 shares, but not on their claims regarding the alleged promissory notes or the 43,750 alleged shares. In August of 2011, the Plaintiff's motion was partially granted. In September 2012, ReceptoPharm's attorneys filed a Motion to be removed as counsel. On October 10, 2014 their motion was granted.


On June 1, 2015 the parties executed a settlement agreement wherebyprovides that ReceptoPharm wouldwill pay the PlaintiffsMs. Meding a total of $360,000 over 35 months. The first payment of $20,000 was made on July 1, 2015. A second payment of $20,000 was made on August 17, 2015. The settlement requires2015 with 32 subsequent monthly $10,000 payments to be madedue on the 15th of every month. Payments weremonth thereafter. To date, ReceptoPharm has made in September through December, 2015.all monthly payments due under the agreement.  In the event of default on any of the payments due under the settlement agreement, the settlement amount would increase by an additional $200,000.  As of December 31, 2015,2018, all payments were made and the Company has accruedsettlement is concluded. We have recorded $200,000 in gain on settlement of debt on the legal settlement amount at present valueconsolidated statements of $243,164 and an additional contingency of $200,000.

Liquid Packaging Resources, Inc. v. Nutra Pharma Corp. and Erik “Rik” Deitsch 


On April 21, 2011, Nutra Pharma Corp. and its CEO, Erik Deitsch, were named as defendants inLiquid Packaging Resources, Inc. v. Nutra Pharma Corp. and Erik “Rik” Deitsch,, Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, Civil Action No. 2011-CV-199562.2011–CV–199562. Liquid Packaging Resources, Inc. (“LPR”) claimed that Nutra Pharma Corp. and Mr. Deitsch, directly or through other companies, placed orders with LPR that required LPR to purchase components from third parties. LPR sought reimbursement for those third party expenses in the amount of not less than $359,826.85 plus interest. LPR also sought punitive damages in the amount of not less than $500,000 and attorney's fees.


Mr. Deitsch and Nutra Pharma Corp. then removed the action to the United States District Court, Northern District of Georgia, Civil Action No. 11-CV-01663-ODE.11–CV–01663–ODE. After removal, LPR amended the Complaint to assert that Nutra Pharma Corp. and Mr. Deitsch were the alter egos of the alleged other companies through whom the subject orders were placed and therefore should be considered one and the same. Mr. Deitsch and Nutra Pharma Corp.  moved to dismiss the Complaint on several grounds including statute of frauds, failure to state a claim, and jurisdiction (only for Mr. Deitsch). Mr. Deitsch and Nutra Pharma Corp. believe the suit is without merit.


After June 30, 2011, atAt LPR's request, the parties mediated the dispute before LPR responded to the Motion To Dismiss.dispute. At the mediation, the parties worked out an agreement whereby Nutra Pharma Corp. would purchase from LPR the components LPR purchased from third parties at an amount slightly less than the principal amount of the suit and on terms acceptable to us. The agreed price was $350,000 payable over 7 months in equal $50,000 amounts. This agreement was reached by us because it provided tangible value in exchange for the purchase price rather than incurring the expense of litigation, which would likely be substantial and not recouped. While Nutra Pharma Corp.  had counterclaims we could assert, we believe this was a practical resolution. The settlement allowed us to take possession of the components prior to full payment and, in exchange, provided security to LPR in the form of our stock valued at $400,000 at the time of issuance. The stock can only be sold in event of a default of the payment schedule. The litigation was dismissed in August of 2011.  We madeFollowing several payments under the August, September and November payments (totaling $150,000) in a timely fashion. We were late forparties’ agreement, the parties entered into two amended payment due October 15, 2011 and requested an accommodation from LPR, eventually paying an extra $5,000 towards that payment. At December 31, 2011,schedules as accommodations to Nutra Pharma Corp. had made total payments of $205,000 with an additional $150,000 owed. In order to allow us to skip the December payment, LPR agreed to another accommodation whereby we would pay both the December and January payment with an additional $10,000 on or before January 16, 2012. We were unableit to make thispayments that had been missed.  Nutra Pharma Corp. did not make a payment in March 2012 and on January 26, 2012 signed an amended payment schedule adding an additional $15,000 for a total of $175,000 owed. Our CEO, Rik Deitsch, added additional collateral stock in a separate company that he held personally. $25,000 was paid in January, with subsequent payments of $30,000 due monthly on the 15th of March through the 15th of July, 2012. We failed to make the March payment and wasLPR subsequently called Nutra Pharma Corp. in default of the Agreement. Under the original agreement, if we are in default of the agreement, LPR has the right to sell shares of our free trading stock held in escrow by their attorney and receive cash settlements for a total amount of $450,000 representing the new total cash amount due to LPR by the Company.parties’ agreement. 





On June 11, 2012, LPR sold theirits debt to Southridge Partners, LLP in an agreement to be paid out over time. In August 2013, LPR cancelled their agreement with Southridge Partners, LLP.  AsLPR filed a notice of intent to administratively dissolve in May 2015 (with the dissolution becoming effective in December 31, 2015, LPR continues to hold the collateral stock. We are currently negotiating a settlement with LPR. Upon the settlement of the outstanding debt, LPR will return the collateral shares to the Company.2015) and has not pursued its claimed default against Nutra Pharma Corp. in any court or other formal proceeding since that date.


Involuntary Petition of BankruptcyPaul Reid et al. v. Nutra Pharma Corp. et al.


On August 31, 2012,26, 2016, certain of former ReceptoPharm employees and a former ReceptoPharm consultant filed a Petitionlawsuit in the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Involuntary BankruptcyBroward County, Florida (Case No. CACE16–015834) against usNutra Pharma and Receptopharm to recover $315,000 allegedly owing to them under a settlement agreement reached in an involuntary bankruptcy action that was brought by the same individuals in 2012 and for payment of unpaid wages/breach of written debt confirms.  

Nutra Pharma and Receptopharm believe that the lawsuit is without merit, especially in light of gross misconduct by these former employees that was discovered after execution of the aforementioned settlement agreement. On October 9, 2020, the Court entered an Order denying the plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment with respect to Count I of the Complaint (for alleged breach of the aforementioned settlement agreement), and the parties continue to engage in discovery regarding their respective claims and defenses. The case is currently set for trial during the period from May 10, 2021 to May 28, 2021, but it is unclear at this time with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic (and the resultant cessation of jury trials in Broward County) whether the trial will proceed at that time.

On September 10, 2018, the Defendants filed their Answer and Affirmative Defenses to the Complaint. One of Defendants’ primary defenses to the Complaint was that the majority owner of Get Credit Healthy, Inc. violated the terms of a Binding Memorandum of Understanding by failing to invest in Nutra Pharma Corp. and fraudulently inducing Defendants to enter into the subject amended promissory note. Counsel for Get Credit Healthy, Inc. requested an early mediation conference in an attempt to resolve our dispute. We agreed to this request, and mediation took place on February 15, 2019.  At December 31, 2018, we owed principal balance of $101,818 and accrued interest of $21,023 (See Note 6). At mediation, Get Credit Healthy, Inc. claimed that the individual that breached the binding memorandum of understanding with Nutra Pharma Corp. was never an owner of Get Credit Healthy, Inc., but rather, a close friend that encouraged Get Credit Healthy, Inc. to make the subject loan to Nutra Pharma Corp.  Ultimately, the parties were able to reach a Confidential Settlement Agreement to resolve the dispute, and an Agreed Order was entered dismissing the lawsuit. The lawsuit was settled on February 15, 2019 for $104,000 with scheduled payments. The repayments were made in full as of November 2020 (See Note 13).
