ARAX HOLDINGS CORP.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 2016 AND 2015
April 30, 2016 NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Arax Holdings Corp. (the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 23, 2012 with a business plan to sell hot dogs from mobile hot dog stands throughout the major cities in Mexico. As of the filing of the 10K for last year, the Company stated that Management believes that the best business model for our investors is to pursue business activity in the Life Sciences sector of the United States and internationally. We will continue to assess these opportunities and structures as well as the various pre-requisite actions needed to finalize and implement any new business model.
This new business model could entail a capital restructuring of the Company in order to provide new capital and a broader base of shareholders. Such a capital restructuring of the Company could involve a merger or acquisition of assets through various techniques, including a possible reverse-merger. Additional asset acquisitions and transfers may occur.
The Company is a majority-owned subsidiary of Thru Pharma, LLC, and these financials are presented on a stand-alone basis. All transactions with Thru Pharma have been identified in Note 4: Stockholders' Deficit and Note 5: Related party transactions.
Pursuant to a revision to a certain Consulting Agreement dated as of October 8, 2013, by and between Thru Pharma and Strategic Universal Advisors, LLC (“Strategic”), as amended effective January 17, 2014, on or about February 9, 2015, and most recently on October 20, 2015, with full effect as of April 1, 2015 (the “Consulting Agreement”), Thru Pharma and Strategic agreed that the intent of the Consulting Agreement ab initio was to provide Strategic with a 3% equity ownership of Thru Pharma n the event that a PUBCO M&A transaction did not occur prior to the end of the Consulting Agreement. Thru Pharma and Strategic agreed and stipulated that 753,504 shares of Arax Holdings would equal 3% of Thru Pharma as the equity payment under the Consulting Agreement, with transfer subject to the further provisions stated below. As Thru Pharma was the sole beneficiary of the services provided by Strategic under the Consulting Agreement, no part of the value of the consideration for services provided under the Consulting Agreement has been recognized as an expense by the Company.
In connection with earlier amendments to the Consulting Agreement, Strategic granted to Mr. Keough, a control person of the Company and Thru Pharma, an irrevocable proxy (the “Irrevocable Proxy”), to vote all of the common stock in the Company under certain conditions. That proxy no longer exists under the terms of the most recent amendment.
As part of the currently amended Consulting Agreement, Thru Pharma agreed to transfer 753,504 Company shares to Strategic upon the closing of a merger or acquisition (an “M&A Transaction”) of a public entity, resulting in Thru Pharma being the controlling owner of the entity that was the subject of the M&A Transaction, and Thru Pharma would cause such entity to also issue to Strategic a stock warrant to purchase 600,000 (six hundred thousand) shares of common stock of the entity that was the subject of the M&A Transaction. Such warrant will be of five-year duration, exercisable at $0.10 per share, and shall vest in four equal amounts of 150,000 shares with the first annual vesting to occur 60 (sixty) days following the completion of the PUBCO M&A Transaction, as well as other routine terms.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in the Consulting Agreement or elsewhere, in no event would Thru Pharma be directly and/or indirectly obligated to enter into or complete any particular M&A Transaction, including, but not limited to, any M&A Transaction with the Company.
Effective July 1, 2015, Arax and Catalyst Funding, LLC, entered into an Original Issue Discount Revolving Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Catalyst Note”) and a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Catalyst SPA”). The transaction is secured by a grant of security interest to 100% of the Company stock held by or for Thru Pharma. The Catalyst Note and Catalyst SPA are intended to facilitate funding essential work relating to multi-year auditing of Thru Pharma financials. The total available funds are $200,000, and the Company has only drawn $75,000, and for which the Company is obligor. A Commitment Fee of Company stock in the amount of 35,294 shares was authorized for issue to Catalyst as part of the transaction recorded as an initial debt discount of $14,118. In the event that the Company is unable to timely make payments under this Agreement, Catalyst has the option of gaining control of the Thru Pharma shares in the Company.
The Company’s status as a “shell company” as of the date of this report remains unchanged.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has not generated any revenues as of April 30, 2016. The Company has incurred losses since Inception (February 23, 2012) resulting in an accumulated deficit of $531,948 as of April 30, 2016 and stockholders’ deficit of $189,303. The Company currently has a working capital deficit, and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time.
Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses. The Company intends to position itself so that it can be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of management’s efforts, there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company has adopted an October 31 fiscal year end.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions from Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. All adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim period, and to make the financial statements not misleading, have been made and are of a recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein. The results of operations for such interim period are not necessarily indicative of operations for a full year.
Development Stage Company
The Company is in the development stage as defined under the then current Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915-205 “Development-Stage Entities” and among the additional disclosures required as a development stage company that its financial statements were identified as those of a development stage company, and that the statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows disclosed activity since the date of its Inception (February 23, 2012) as a development stage company. Effective June 10, 2014 FASB changed its regulations with respect to Development Stage Entities and these additional disclosures are no longer required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 with the option for entities to early adopt these new provisions. The Company has elected to early adopt these provisions and consequently these additional disclosures are not included in these financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
8 |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.
The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:
• | Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
• | Level 2 - Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. | |
• | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available. |
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable & accrued expenses, certain notes payable and notes payable - related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
The Company accounts for its derivative liabilities, at fair value, on a recurring basis under level 2.
Embedded Conversion Features
The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature.
Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount
The Company may record debt issue costs and/or debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt. These costs may be paid in the form of cash, or equity (such as warrants). These costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.
Original Issue Discount
For certain convertible debt issued, the Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount would be recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As a result, the Company has applied a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. The guidance only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the various taxing authorities. The Company is subject to taxation in the United States. All of the Company’s tax years are subject to examination by Federal and State jurisdictions.
9 |
The Company classifies penalties and interest related to income taxes as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification No. 605, “Revenue Recognition” (“ASC- 605”), ASC-605 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company will defer any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.
Advertising
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expenses incurred. The Company incurred $0 in advertising costs during the six months ended April 30, 2016.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments. There were no such potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments issued or outstanding during the three and nine month periods ending April 30, 2016.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all the recent accounting pronouncements issued to date of the issuance of these financial statements, and does not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the company.
NOTE 4 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. 35,294 shares of common stock were issued during the six month period ended April 30, 2016. The shares were issued as part of an incentive to enter into convertible notes that were owed as of October 31, 2015 with a relative fair value of $11,881.
The Company had 10,335,294 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of April 30, 2016.
Additional Paid in Capital
During the six months ended April 30, 2016, the Company owed 40,000 stock subscription payable for compensation to a consultant for work performed with ThruPharma, a related party, for a value of $23,500 and recorded as a related party expense.
10 |
NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In support of the Company’s efforts and cash requirements, it may rely on advances from related parties until such time that the Company can support its operations or attains adequate financing through sales of its equity or traditional debt financing. There is no formal written commitment for continued support by shareholders or directors. Amounts represent advances or amounts paid in satisfaction of liabilities. The advances are considered temporary in nature and have not been formalized by a promissory note.
The Company is owed by its principal shareholder, Thru Pharma, a total of $54,872 as of April 30, 2016, in the form of a related party payable. It is due on demand and is non-interest bearing.
NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
As of April 30, 2016, the Company had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $531,948 that may be used to offset future taxable income and begins to expire in 2031. Because of the change in ownership that occurred on January 16, 2014, net operating loss carry forwards could be limited as to use in future years.
NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On June 4, 2014, we were named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by AMERIFINANCIAL, INC. (“AMERIFINANCIAL”), of Houston, Texas. The action related primarily to a contract dispute between AMERIFINANCIAL and our majority shareholder, Thru Pharma, LLC. The dispute did not allege any actions or inactions by our officers or representatives acting on our behalf. Counsel for Thru Pharma, LLC, requested that we be dismissed from this lawsuit, as we were not party to the disputed contract, and there was no legal basis for the Company being a part of the lawsuit. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize a liability in connection with the claim.
On August 31, 2015, the Judge in this Harris County, Texas, case ruled that the only remaining Defendant was Thru Pharma, LLC. On January 8, 2016, Thru Pharma and AMERIFINANCIAL, INC. reached settlement of the dispute. Subsequently this case was dismissed.
NOTE 8 – CONVERTIBLE DEBT AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
The Company has financial instruments that are considered derivatives or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting related to a revolving convertible note in which the Company can borrow up to $200,000, which includes a 10% OID. The Company issued the first tranche of the convertible note totaling $75,000, of which $65,000 was paid in cash, $2,500 was paid for legal fees, and the OID of $7,500, which included a ratchet provision in the conversion price of $.95 or a price equal to 60% of the last equity transaction completed by the Company as part of a subscription agreement, whichever is lower. The note has a maturity date of nine months after funding and also includes a fifty percent premium which is added on 90 days after funding. The note is to be paid off in installments of $19,453 for the six months after the ninety day period. Embedded derivatives are valued separately from the host instrument and are recognized as derivative liabilities in the Company’s balance sheet. The Company measures these instruments at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change. The Company has estimated the fair value of these embedded derivatives for convertible debentures using a multinomial lattice model as of April 30, 2016 and October 31, 2015.
The fair values of the derivative instruments are measured each quarter, which resulted in a loss of $10,344 and derivative expense of $0 during the six months ended April 30, 2016. As of April 30, 2016, the fair market value of the derivatives aggregated $15,844 using the following assumptions: estimated 0.18 to 1-year term, estimated volatility of 162.21% to 164.20%, and a discount rate of 0.22% to 0.56%.

Overview
Arax Holdings Corp. (the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 23, 2012 with a business plan to sell hot dogs from mobile hot dog stands throughout the major cities in Mexico. That has now changed and is discussed further below.
Effective January 16, 2014, Vladimir Leonov, the Chief Executive Officer, majority shareholder and sole director of the Company sold 8,000,000 shares of our common stock (approximately 77% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company) owned by him to Thru Pharma, LLC (d/b/a PharmaCline), a Delaware limited liability company (“Thru Pharma”), for total cash consideration of $275,000 in a private transaction (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition resulted in a change in control of the Company. Simultaneous with the closing of the Acquisition, Mr. Leonov resigned as a director and from all offices he held with us, and Steven J. Keough, was elected as our director and appointed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, Secretary and Treasurer.
Following the changes in control and management of the Company related to the Acquisition, we have been reevaluating our business plan. As of the filing of the 10K for last year, the Company stated that Management believes that the best business model for our investors is to pursue business activity in the Life Sciences sector of the United States and internationally. We will continue to assess these opportunities and structures as well as the various pre-requisite actions needed to finalize and implement any new business model.
This new business model could entail restructuring of the Company in order to provide new capital and a broader base of shareholders. Such a capital restructuring of the Company could involve a merger or acquisition of assets through various techniques, including a possible reverse-merger. Additional asset acquisitions and transfers may occur. The Company may establish a presence on other markets as part of the restructuring.

During the three and six month period ended April 30, 2016, our other income (expenses) comprised of interest expense of $19,912 and $47,352 from accrued interest on convertible notes and from the amortization of debt discount and OID, and $14,010 and $10,344 in change in fair value of derivative.

Net Loss
Our net loss for the three and six month period ended April 30, 2016 was $55,812 and $98,386 compared to $28,870 and $58,777 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2015, is due to the factors discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At April 30, 2016 we had $0 in total assets and $189,303 of current liabilities compared to $0 in total assets and $114,417 of current liabilities at October 31, 2015. The increase in our working capital deficit for the six months ended April 30, 2016 is principally due to the operating losses we incurred in the period.
Cash Flow for the Six month Period Ended April 30, 2016 Compared to Six month Period Ended April 30, 2015
Operating Activities
During the six months ended April 30, 2016 we used $16,940 for operating activities compared to $14,677 used in operating activities during the six months ended April 30, 2015. The increase in funds used in operating activities between the two periods was due primarily to an increase in legal fees.

Investing Activities
We neither used nor generated cash flows from investing activities during the six month periods ended April 30, 2016 or 2015.
Financing Activities
During the six months ended April 30, 2016 we received $16,940 in loans from Thru Pharma to fund our working capital requirements for a total balance of $54,872 from related parties. In the six months ended April 30, 2015, Thru Pharma advanced the Company $14,677.
Historically, we have funded working capital requirements primarily through the proceeds of the private placement of equity instruments and loans from related parties. We expect that working capital requirements will be funded through advances from Thru Pharma, and through further issuances of our securities. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Additional issuances of equity or issuances of convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to implement our business plan.
Going Concern Qualification
The independent auditors’ review report accompanying the Company’s October 31, 2015 financial statements contained an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon generating profitable operations in the future or obtaining the necessary financing to meet obligations and repay liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of the date of this report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and its Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2016. Based upon this evaluation, our management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of April 30, 2016.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our board of directors and management; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2016, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.
1. | We do not have an Audit Committee – While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over the Company’s financial statement. Currently the Board of Directors acts in the capacity of the Audit Committee, and does not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management’s activities. |
2. | We improved cash controls – As of April 30, 2016, the Company has segregated cash handling and accounting functions. Management also requires segregated review of all disbursements. Any effects of previous period poor cash controls were mitigated by the fact the Company had limited transactions in their bank accounts. |
Accordingly, the Company concluded these control deficiencies resulted in a possibility that a material misstatement of the unaudited financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the Company’s internal controls.
As a result of the weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2016 based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
This Form 10-Q does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Form 10-Q.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been improvement in our internal control over financial reporting. Management plans to routinely assess its internal control over financial reporting against appropriate standards, and to make changes as determined necessary and according to the scope of business operations.

PART II. | OTHER INFORMATION |
ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
On June 4, 2014, we were named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by AMERIFINANCIAL, INC. (“AMERIFINANCIAL”), of Houston, Texas. The action related primarily to a contract dispute between AMERIFINANCIAL and our majority shareholder, Thru Pharma, LLC. The dispute did not allege any actions or inactions by our officers or representatives acting on our behalf. Counsel for Thru Pharma, LLC, requested that we be dismissed from this lawsuit, as we were not party to the disputed contract, and there was no legal basis for the Company being a part of the lawsuit. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize a liability in connection with the claim.
On August 31, 2015, the Judge in this Harris County, Texas, case ruled that the only remaining Defendant was Thru Pharma, LLC. On January 8, 2016, Thru Pharma and AMERIFINANCIAL, INC. reached settlement of the dispute. Subsequently this case was dismissed.
