JUMPSTART OUR BUSINESS STARTUPS ACT
The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 101 of the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) as we do not have more than $1,000,000,000 in annual gross revenue and did not have such amount as of December 31, 2012, our last fiscal year. We are electing to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act.
We may lose our status as an emerging growth company on the last day of our fiscal year during which (i) our annual gross revenue exceeds $1,000,000,000 or (ii) we issue more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt in a three-year period. We will lose our status as an emerging growth company (i) if at any time we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer. We will lose our status as an emerging growth company on the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement.
As an emerging growth company we are exempt from Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such sections are provided below:
Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires a public company’s auditor to attest to, and report on, management’s assessment of its internal controls.
Sections 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities and Exchange Act, implemented by Section 951 of the Dodd-Frank Act, require companies to hold shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation and golden parachute compensation.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This following information specifies certain forward-looking statements of management of the Company. Forward-looking statements are statements that estimate the happening of future events and are not based on historical fact. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as may, shall, could, expect, estimate, anticipate, predict, probable, possible, should, continue, or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. The forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements.
The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements
September 30, 2013
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Description of Business
TNI BioTech, Inc. (the “Company” or “TNIB”) was initially incorporated in Florida on December 2, 1993 as Resorts Clubs International, Inc. (“Resorts Club”). It was formed to manage and market golf course properties in resort markets throughout the United States. Galliano International Ltd. (“Galliano”) was incorporated in Delaware on June 27, 1998. The Company began trading in November 1999 through the filing of a 15C-211. On November 3, 2004, Galliano merged with Resorts Club International, Inc. Resorts Club was the surviving corporation. On August 10, 2010, Resorts Club changed its name to pH Environmental Inc (“pH Environmental”). On April 23, 2012, pH Environmental completed a name change to TNI BioTech, Inc., and on April 24, 2012 pH Environmental executed a share exchange agreement for the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of TNI BioTech, Inc.
TNI BioTech is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutics to treat cancer, HIV/AIDS and autoimmune diseases by combating these chronic and often life-threatening diseases through the activation and rebalancing of the body’s immune system. The Company has been developing active and adoptive forms of immunotherapies through the acquisition of patents, INDs (investigational new drug) and clinical data and all proprietary technical information, know-how, procedures, protocols, methods, prototypes, designs, data and reports, which are not readily available to others through public means, and which are owned, generated or developed through experiments or testing by Dr. Plotnikoff, Professor Shan, Dr. Bernard Bihari, Dr. Ian Zagon, Dr. Jill Smith, Dr. Patricia J. McLaughlin and Moshe Rogosnitzky. The Company currently has offices in Frederick, Maryland and Orlando, Florida.
Going Concern
The Company has incurred significant net losses since inception and has relied on its ability to fund its operations through private equity financings and short-term debt. Management expects operating losses and negative cash flows to continue at more significant levels in the future. As the Company continues to incur losses, transition to profitability is dependent upon the successful development, approval, and commercialization of its products and achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. The Company may never achieve profitability, and unless and until it does, the Company will continue to need to raise additional cash. Management intends to fund future operations through additional private or public debt or equity offerings, and may seek additional capital through arrangements with strategic partners or from other sources. Based on the Company’s operating plan, existing working capital at September 30, 2013 was not sufficient to meet the cash requirements to fund planned operations through September 30, 2014 without additional sources of cash. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has experienced a net loss from operations of $59,313,594 and has used cash and cash equivalents for operations in the amount of $4,456,111 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, resulting in stockholders’ equity of $17,016,002.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as amended for interim financial information. The financial information as of December 31, 2012 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Form 10 Registration Statement filed with the Commission on April 22, 2013 and the Amended Registration Statements on Form 10-/A filed on June 7, 2013, July 18, 2013, August 23, 2013, September 25, 2013, and October 11, 2013 for the year ended December 31, 2012. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10 Registration Statement, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
8
Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The interim results for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include bank demand deposits, marketable securities with maturities of three months or less at purchase, and money market funds that invest primarily in certificates of deposits, commercial paper and U.S. government and U.S. government agency obligations. Cash equivalents are reported at fair value.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents. The Company is exposed to credit risk, subject to federal deposit insurance, in the event of a default by the financial institutions holding its cash and cash equivalents to the extent of amounts recorded on the balance sheets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In accordance with the reporting requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” the Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under this standard and includes this additional information in the notes to the financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. Cash, accounts payable, payable to officer, and patent liability are accounted for at cost which approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of notes payable to a related party also approximate fair value since they bear market rates of interest and other terms. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.
Computer Equipment
Computer equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is determined on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally range from three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged against expense as incurred. Depreciation expense from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 2013 and 2012 was $682 and $327, respectively.
9
Intangible Assets
Costs incurred to acquire and/or develop the Company’s product licenses and patents are capitalized and amortized by straight-line methods over estimated useful lives of seven to sixteen years. Intangible assets are stated at the lower of cost or estimated fair market value. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company capitalized $2,710,539 of such costs incurred for the acquisition of the Company’s patents. (See Note 10 of the Company’s Form 10 Registration Statement). Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $2,133,549 and $10,685, respectively. The Company estimates its amortization expense related to these assets will approximate $2,800,000 each year for the next five years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable as prescribed by ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment.” If the carrying amount of the asset, including any intangible assets associated with that asset, exceeds its estimated undiscounted net cash flow, before interest, the Company will recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between its carrying amount and its estimated fair value. No impairment losses were recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 or for the corresponding period in 2012.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred and are typically comprised of salaries and benefits, pre-clinical studies, clinical trial activities, drug development and manufacturing, fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf and third-party service fees, including clinical research organizations and investigative sites. Costs for certain development activities, such as clinical trials are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data such as patient enrollment, clinical site activations, or information provided by vendors on their actual costs incurred. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual arrangements, which may differ from the pattern of costs incurred, and are reflected in the financial statements as operating expenses.
Income Taxes
The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2013, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
Share-Based Compensation and Issuance of Stock for Non-Cash Consideration
The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values equaling either the market value of the shares issued or the value of consideration received, whichever is more readily determinable.
10
The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of ASC Topic 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.” The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete.
Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method and the if-converted method. Dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of common stock purchase warrants and options outstanding. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.
Recent Accounting Standards
The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 101 of the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) as we do not have more than $1,000,000,000 in annual gross revenue and did not have such amount as of December 31, 2012, our last fiscal year. We are electing to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act.
Any new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, as applicable, have been or will be adopted by the Company upon or before the expiration of the extended transition period provided under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act.

7. Licenses and Supply Agreements
Patent and Subsidiary Acquisition
The Company entered into a share exchange agreement April 24, 2012 to acquire all of the outstanding shares of TNI BioTech IP, Inc., (“TNI IP”) a biotechnology firm incorporated in Florida formed to acquire patents related to the treatment of cancer and HIV/AIDS and autoimmune diseases, using Met-enkephalin (“MENK”) and Naltrexone (“LDN”). The goal of TNI IP’s management is to enable mankind and civilization to combat fatal diseases by activating and mobilizing the body’s own immune system using TNI IP’s patented use of MENK.
The first patents acquired by TNI IP were acquired from Dr. Nicholas P. Plotnikoff and Professor Fengping Shan in 2012. Dr. Plotnikoff and Dr. Shan have been specializing in research activities directed toward the study of cytokines, which are hormones naturally produced by the immune system. The primary cytokine, among many others currently being studied by TNI IP, is MENK. The Company is focused on the treatment of cancer, HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases through the use of our lead compounds.
TNI IP changed its name from TNI BioTech, Inc., to TNI BioTech IP, Inc. on April 23, 2012. TNI BioTech IP, Inc., is the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. TNI IP was acquired in exchange for 20,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock of which 8,000,000 shares were issued for the acquisition of the patent and the remaining 12,250,000 shares were issued to the founders of TNI IP in exchange for all of their right, title and interest in their TNI IP shares. The goodwill arising on the acquisition of TNI BioTech IP, Inc. was valued at $98,000,000 and license agreements arising from the acquisition of TNI BioTech IP, Inc. was valued at $16,006,000.
13
At the time of the acquisition, the valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets were determined using the fair market price for the Company’s common stock which were exchanged for shares of TNI BioTech IP, Inc. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company performed an annual valuation to determine whether any goodwill or intangible assets that had been acquired by the Company were impaired. The result of this valuation was that material impairments were identified. The Company recognized an impairment of the goodwill arising on the acquisition of TNI BioTech IP, Inc. of $98,000,000.
Patent License Agreements
On August 13, 2012, the Company signed a License Agreement with Ms. Jacqueline Young for the intellectual property developed by Dr. Bernard Bihari relating to treatments with opioid antagonists such as naltrexone and Met-enkephalin for a variety of diseases and conditions including malignant lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, chronic herpes virus infections, chronic herpes viral infections such as chronic genital herpes caused by the herpes simplex virus Type 2 and chronic infections due to the Epstein-Barr virus and a treatment method for humans infected with HTLV-III (AIDS) virus including patients clinically diagnosed as suffering from AIDS and those suffering from AIDS-related complex (ARC).

The Company will pay a sublicense fee between 10-20% calculated on the payments the Company receives from any such sublicense.
As part of the Patent License Agreement, TNI BioTech has the right to apply to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the transfer of the orphan drug status, the investigational new drug applications (INDs), and the right to acquire the relevant clinical data set from Dr. Smith. The FDA has designated orphan drug status for the use of low dose naltrexone in the treatment of pediatric patients with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
The Patent License Agreement calls for the formation of a Development Committee to monitor the clinical progress of the Licensed Products and will consist of independent scientific and technical leaders who are highly regarded by the scientific community in the Field of Use of each Licensed Product. The development committee consists of at least one representative from the Licensor Parties and one representative from the Company in addition to outside experts in the field.
Naltrexone in low dose is a platform immunomodulatory technology that the Company expects to clinically test in the treatment of other immune-mediated or immune-deficient diseases for which it has previously acquired additional patents.
The Company signed an exclusive licensing agreement with The Penn State Research Foundation on January 18, 2013 to license all of the intellectual property developed by Dr. Ian S. Zagon, Dr. Patricia J. McLaughlin and Dr. Jill P. Smith for the treatment of cancer titled “Opioid Growth Factor and Cancer” and “Combination Therapy with Opioid Growth Factor and Taxanes for the Treatment of Cancer” (the “Licensing Agreement”). These licenses were acquired in exchange for 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $2,550,000 and expenses of $160,539, which totaled $2,710,539.
The patent covers methods and formulations related to the treatment and prevention of different cancers. More specifically, the present inventions describe the use of drugs that interact with opioid receptors (naltrexone, naloxone and the pentapeptide growth factor Met-enkephalin) to inhibit and arrest the growth of cancer. Endogenous opioids and opioid antagonists have been shown to play a role in stimulating and rebalancing the immune system and the healing and repair of tissues. Such efficacy has been discovered to be partially due to the functional manipulation of the zeta opioid receptor through exogenous and endogenous Met-enkephalin. This receptor has been determined to be present in a variety of cancers, including pancreatic and colon cancer.
As part of the Licensing Agreement, TNI BioTech is working to acquire the orphan drug designation (IND) and clinical data set from Dr. Jill Smith.
The Licensing Agreement calls for TNI BioTech to (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to develop, commercialize, market and sell Licensed Products in a manner consistent with the Business Plan; (b) expend a minimum of $110,000 (per annum) to develop and commercialize Licensed Products as soon as practicable, consistent with sound business practices and judgment; (c) be responsible for obtaining all requisite regulatory approvals needed to use or sell Licensed Products in the Field of Use; and (d) make the first commercial sale of a Licensed Product by December 31, 2016.
The Licensing Agreement provides that the Company must make an initial license fee of $100,000 and the issuance of 300,000 shares and an annual license maintenance fee in the low ten thousand dollar amount range. The Company will also make payments to licensor upon the achievement of certain milestone events such as initiations of Phase II or Phase III clinical trials in a low hundred thousand dollar amount, acceptance of the NDA by the FDA in a low hundred thousand amount and FDA approvals in a high hundred thousand dollar amount. The Company will issue shares upon reaching certain milestones including the issuance of a mid ten thousand amount of shares upon the first dosing of patients in clinical trials, the issuances of a low hundred thousand number of shares upon the initial sale of a licensed product and a milestone fee of a low hundred thousand share amount upon reaching sales of $20 million in cumulative sales. If the Company achieves all of the milestones, an additional $1,350,000 will be paid and an additional 375,000 shares will be issued.
15
The Company will also pay the licensor a percentage of net sales in the mid single digit range of the licensed products each quarter subject to a minimum royalty payment in the low hundred thousand dollar range. The Company must also pay the licensor a low double-digit percentage of any payments received from any sublicenses.
The Licensing Agreement calls for the formation of a Development Committee to monitor the clinical progress of the Licensed Products, which will consist of independent scientific and technical leaders who are highly regarded by the scientific community in the Field of Use of each Licensed Product.
The Licensing Agreement terminates on the expiration or abandonment of the last patent to expire or become abandoned. The Company may terminate the Licensing Agreement at any time upon 60 days’ prior written notice and ceasing to make and sell all licensed products, the termination of all sublicenses and payment of all monies owed under the Licensing Agreement. The licensor may terminate the agreement 30 days after notice to the Company if the Company is 30 days late in payment or a breach that remains uncured for 45 days after written notice of such breach.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those set forth on the forward looking statements as a result of the risks set forth in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, general economic conditions, and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward looking statements.
General
TNI BioTech, Inc. (the “Company”) was initially incorporated in Florida on December 2, 1993 as Resorts Clubs International, Inc. (“Resorts Club”). It was formed to manage and market golf course properties in resort markets throughout the United States. Galliano International Ltd. (“Galliano”) was incorporated in Delaware on June 27, 1998. The Company began trading in November 1999 through the filing of a 15C-211. On November 3, 2004, Galliano merged with Resorts Club International, Inc. Resorts Club was the surviving corporation. On August 10, 2010, Resorts Club changed its name to pH Environmental, Inc. (“pH Environmental”). On April 23, 2012, pH Environmental completed a name change to TNI BioTech, Inc., and on April 24, 2012 pH Environmental executed a share exchange agreement for the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of TNI BioTech, Inc. (“TNI”).
TNI BioTech is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutics to treat cancer, HIV/AIDS and autoimmune diseases by combating these chronic and often life-threatening diseases through the activation and rebalancing of the body’s immune system. The Company has been developing active and adoptive forms of immunotherapies through the acquisition of patents, INDs (investigational new drug) and clinical data and all proprietary technical information, know-how, procedures, protocols, methods, prototypes, designs, data and reports, which are not readily available to others through public means, and which are owned, generated or developed through experiments or testing by Dr. Plotnikoff, Professor Shan, Dr. Bernard Bihari, Dr. Ian Zagon, Dr. Jill Smith, Dr. Patricia J. McLaughlin and Moshe Rogosnitzky. The Company currently has offices in Frederick, Maryland and Orlando, Florida.
We have invested a significant portion of our time and financial resources in the acquisition and development of our most advanced drug candidate, IRT-103 low-dose naltrexone (“LDN”). While we currently have 3 other drug candidates in clinical trials, we anticipate that our ability to generate significant product revenues in the near term will depend primarily on the successful development, regulatory approval, marketing and commercialization of IRT-103 (LDN) by us or by one of our potential partners. It is uncertain whether IRT-103 (LDN) will have successful results in its development, regulatory approval, marketing and commercialization.
The Company has incurred significant net losses since inception and has relied on its ability to fund its operations through private equity financings. Management expects operating losses and negative cash flows to continue at more significant levels in the future. As the Company continues to incur losses, the transition to profitability is dependent upon the successful development, approval, and commercialization of its product candidate and achieving a level of revenue adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. The Company may never achieve profitability, and unless and until it does, the Company will continue to need to raise additional funds. Management intends to fund future operations through additional private or public debt or equity offerings, and may seek additional capital through arrangements with strategic partners or from other sources.
18
Business Strategy
The Company’s business strategy focuses on several key areas:
●
|
The establishment of treatment facilities throughout Africa, the Caribbean and South America for cancer, HIV/AIDS and other autoimmune diseases that can benefit from IRT-101, IRT-102 and IRT-103 patented technology and therapies;
|
●
|
The large scale treatment in emerging nations for HIV/AIDS as an immune-enhancing therapy using IRT-103 LDN;
|
●
|
The large scale (outsourced) manufacturing and distribution of IRT-103 LDN, either in pill form, or cream for those unable to handle the medication in pill form, throughout Africa and expanding to other developing nations; and
|
●
|
The Joint Venture with the Hubei Qianjiang Pharmaceutical Company that will provide the funding required for the Phase III trials in China in exchange for TNIB providing exclusive licensing rights in China. TNIB will also receive a percentage of the gross revenue from sales in China.
|
The Company has entered into a relationship with a number of groups including: GB Oncology & Imaging Group, LLC, the Brewer Group, AHAR Pharma, as well as a number of United States doctors that own and operate clinics in the United States and Nigeria. We are also working with large employers who operate on-site clinics.
In November 2012, TNI signed an exclusive distributor agreement with G-Ex Technologies/St. Maris Pharma and GB Pharma Holdings LLC for the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Under the terms of the agreement, G-Ex Technologies/St. Maris Pharma & GB Pharma Holdings LLC will have exclusive marketing and distribution rights to IRT-103 LDN and LDN cream in Nigeria.
The Government of Malawi has been remodeling a section of the Queens's Hospital as an oncology center. Once it is complete, TNI BioTech, with the assistance of GB Oncology & Imaging Group, LLC and the other groups, is ready to ship the equipment to the oncology center within the next 90 to 120 days. Once the facility is operational, American Hospital Resort has agreed to assist in the operation of the clinic in Malawi and the implementation of TNI BioTech therapies. In the case of Malawi, a number of not-for-profits are funding the project through donations. There is no need to build a facility as we are currently working with known operators.
Operations in Nigeria will be operational within 90 days and operations in Malawi should be operational by 2014.
TNI, in conjunction with GB Energie LLC, under the leadership of Dr. Gloria B. Herndon, established GB Oncology and Imaging Group LTD (“GBOIB”) to meet the demands for oncological and infectious diseases expertise. Dr. Herndon has been involved in healthcare related issues in Africa since the mid 1990s and is a consulting resource for the National Institute of Health (“NIH”) regarding the impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic on the insurance industry and the dissemination of AIDS-related information to the United States Department of State. The goal of TNI/GBOIG, together with the ministries of health across Africa, is to provide better access to and public awareness of the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer and chronic infectious diseases. TNI plans to work with onsite clinics which will permit TNI to complete patient assessments at little or no cost and prescribe treatments used to modulate the immune system of the patients with various chronic diseases, especially HIV/AIDS and/or cancer so that it decreases the inflammatory attack on normal cells and allows an improvement in normal functions of the nerves or gastrointestinal cells. As a result, treatment with LDN is potentially synergistic in combination with current drugs for autoimmune diseases such as Crohn’s disease. In advanced cases, the patients can be transferred to TNI’s offsite treatment facility for further evaluation and treatment, where they can benefit from TNI’s patented technology and therapies.
19
Through these clinics, TNI intends to begin delivery of Lodonal IRT-103, the Company’s proprietary LDN, for the treatment of HIV/AIDS and/or cancer in 2013. The contract with the Republic of Malawi calls for 25,000 pills a day, increasing to 500,000 pills a day within 24 months. TNI anticipates people will take IRT-103 365 days a year. The contracts with Equatorial Guinea will begin with about 10,000 people per day growing to about 125,000 people per day over the next two years.
TNI is focused on our lead therapies designed for the treatment of cancer, HIV/AIDS, Crohn’s disease, fibromyalgia and MS. Management believes there are clear market opportunities with a significant amount of unmet needs and a robust potential for partnering activities.
Distribution and Production
On April 23, 2013, TNI has entered into a contract for the supervision and inspection of manufacturing processes with ViPharma. The supervision and manufacturing agreement provides ViPharma with exclusive rights to supervise and inspect all manufacturing processes of LDN in Latin America. The initial term of the agreement is ten years with automatic five-year renewal terms provided neither party is in breach. The agreement may be terminated by (i) mutual agreement, (ii) in the event of a breach after a 45 day cure period or (iii) by either party upon provision of written notice at least 90 days before the end of the agreement, provided however that if TNI terminates the contract without cause it will be required to pay ViPharma a penalty.
TNI executed a manufacturing agreement with Laboratorios Ramos, S.A. (“Laboratorios Ramos”), a current good manufacturing practice (“cGMP”) facility, for IRT-103 LDN effective August 16, 2013. Under the agreement, Laboratorios Ramos will produce LDN tablets, capsules and cream in accordance with the technical specifications provided by TNI, the FDA’s good manufacturing practices and the practices of Nicaragua and of any other regulatory body governing the countries where the products will be exported. Laboratorios Ramos must obtain all permits and licenses necessary to carry out the manufacturing and packaging of LDN. The manufacturing agreement has a one-year term, renewable by a signed agreement by the parties at least 60 days before the expiration of the agreement. The agreement may be terminated earlier through mutual agreement or upon expiration of a 30-day cure period following notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party of a material failure of the obligations under the agreement. Additionally, TNI may terminate the agreement upon at least 30 days written notice if Laboratorios Ramos does not act in strict accordance with the technical specifications provided by TNI and with the FDA’s good manufacturing practices or those of any regulatory body of the importing countries.
Meeting with FDA Regarding LDN
In May 2013, the Company received confirmation of a Type C meeting with the FDA to discuss the Phase 3 clinical development program for a proposed 505(b)(2) application for Low Dose Naltrexone (“LDN”) in the treatment of adults and pediatric patients with Crohn’s disease. The meeting was held on June 26, 2013 and the Company received the minutes from the meeting on July 17, 2013. The Company presented its development plan to the FDA that supports its Phase III clinical studies and NDA filing. After conclusion of the Type C meeting, the Company plans to move into Phase III clinical studies in early 2014.
Meeting with FDA Regarding MENK
The Company received confirmation of a Type B meeting with the FDA on August 20, 2013 to discuss the Phase 3 clinical development program and CMC plans for Met-enkephalin in combination with gemcitabine in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
Subsidiaries
TNI, a Florida corporation, formed its United Kingdom subsidiary, TNI BioTech, LTD (the “Subsidiary”) on August 6, 2013. TNI BioTech, LTD received approval to be considered an enterprise micro, small or medium-sized enterprise (“SME”) with the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) on August 21, 2013. The designation provides the Company with significant discounts when holding meetings or submitting filings to the EMA. On September 19, 2013, TNI BioTech, LTD submitted a pre-submission package to the EMA regarding Crohn’s Disease. The EMA granted the Company a meeting that took place on September 27, 2013. The Company is eligible to benefit from the provisions for administrative and financial assistance for SMEs set out in Regulation (EC) No 2049/2005.
20
Agreements
TNI BioTech International, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of TNI executed a Distribution Agreement effective September 17, 2013 with AHAR Pharma, a company formed under the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (the “Distributer”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Distributer will distribute the Company’s low-dose naltrexone under the name Lodonal™ throughout Nigeria on an exclusive basis.
Results of Operations – Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
Revenues
We had no revenues from operations for the period ending September 30, 2013 and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. We do not anticipate having any significant future revenues until we have sufficiently funded operations.
Operating Expenses
Selling, general and administrative
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $33,461,690 for the nine months ended September 2013, compared to $565,891 for the corresponding period in 2012.
In the nine months ended 2013, total cash spent on SG&A was $3,371,286, compared to $565,891 for the corresponding period in 2012. Significant cash items included consulting services ($1,003,133 in 2013, compared to $76,745 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012), professional fees ($827,282 in 2013, compared to $54,816 in 2012), payroll ($795,308 in 2013, compared to $283,253 in 2012), and travel ($315,710 in 2013, compared to $290 in 2012). In addition, the Company recorded non-cash SG&A expenses of $30,087,174 in the nine months ended September 2013 ($4,230 in 2012), comprised mainly of costs of issuance of shares for services ($22,388,033 in 2013, compared to $0 in 2012) and stock warrants ($6,950,655 in 2013, compared to $0 in 2012). The increase year over year in SG&A expense was attributable primarily to increased sales and marketing activities to promote the sale of the Company's products in South America and Africa, and the cost of raising additional equity to fund ongoing operations and business development.
Research and development
Research and development ("R&D") expenses were $15,510,310 for the nine months ended September 2013, compared to $26,514 for the corresponding period in 2012.
In the nine months ended 2013, total cash spent on R&D was $1,460,816, compared to $26,514 for the corresponding period in 2012. Significant cash items included contracted technical services ($823,984 in 2013, compared to $22,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012), professional fees ($71,592 in 2013, compared to $0 in 2012), payroll ($327,335 in 2013, compared to $0 in 2012), and travel ($40,931 in 2013, compared to $1,503 in 2012). In addition, the Company recorded non-cash R&D expenses of $14,049,394 in the nine months ended September 2013 ($0 in 2012), comprised mainly of costs of issuance of shares for services. The increase year over year in R&D expense was attributable primarily to the increase in R&D required to launch new clinical trials and implement the Company's product development program.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $2,134,231 for the nine months ended September 2013, compared to $11,012 for the corresponding period in 2012. The Company amortizes the costs incurred to acquire patents and licenses over the period of the related agreements. The increase year over year in depreciation and amortization expense reflects the fact that most of the Company's patents and licenses were acquired after October 1, 2012.
Interest Expense
Interest expenses are comprised of loan origination fees and interest owed by the Company. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $1,098,868 compared to $0 for the corresponding period in 2012. Higher interest expense in 2013 reflects the increase in the amount of interest-bearing notes payable outstanding in 2013.
Loss on settlement of debt
In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, certain lenders to the Company exercised their rights to convert all or a portion of their notes payable to equity. The Company recorded an expense of $7,108,495, reflecting the fair value of the stock issued in exchange for the notes. There was no expense in the corresponding period in 2012.
21
Liquidity
Liquidity is measured by our ability to secure enough cash to meet our contractual and operating needs as they arise. We do not anticipate generating sufficient net positive cash flows from our operations to fund the next twelve months. We had cash of $207,709 at September 30, 2013, compared to $313,095 at December 31, 2012.
Our cash reserves will not be sufficient to meet our operational needs and we need to raise additional capital to pay for our operational expenses and provide for capital expenditures. In addition to the Company's operational expenses, which are estimated at $400,000 per month, we estimate that we need approximately $7-15 Million in the next twelve months to fully develop our products and for Phase III clinical trials for Crohn’s disease. If we are not able to raise additional working capital, we may have to cease operations altogether.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations of $4,456,111 and $305,464, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, net cash used in investing activities from continued operations of $164,889 and $1,062, respectively. The change in 2013 is due to the purchase of computer equipment and payment for the Penn State License.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 proceeds from the exercise of stock warrants totalled $3,640,363 compared to $0 for the corresponding period in 2012. Proceeds from stock sales were $531,250 in 2013 compared to $212,680 in 2012. We also generated $449,001 from the sale of notes payable for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $250,400 for the same period in 2012.
Research Operations
We continue to build our research and development (“R&D”) organization and capabilities focusing primarily on new uses for opioid-related immunomodulatory therapies, such as low-dose naltrexone (“LDN”) and Met-enkephalin (“MENK”). These therapies stimulate and otherwise alter the immune system in such a way that provide the potential to treat a variety of diseases that have abnormalities in the immune system.
Our R&D priorities include development of methionine-enkephalin (MENK, IRT-101), a small synthetic peptide that is naturally occurring in the body, and low dose naltrexone (LDN, IRT-103), an opioid receptor antagonist. Our pipeline provides two therapies with an extremely wide range of indications that can be pursued. Both molecules have the ability to balance and/or correct the immune system in order to treat a variety of autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis, immune disorders such as Crohn’s disease, cancer, and viral infections such as HIV/AIDS.
Our R&D is overseen and managed internally, working with individuals, universities, and Contract Research Organizations (CROs) in order to utilize patents that we have licensed or acquired since our inception. We continue to seek to expand our pipeline by reviewing other compounds, technologies or capabilities. We also seek out promising compounds and innovative technologies developed by third parties to incorporate into our discovery and development processes or projects.
Drug discovery and development is time-consuming, expensive and unpredictable. According to the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), out of 5,000-10,000 screened compounds, only 250 enter preclinical testing, five enter human clinical trials and one is approved by the FDA. The process from early discovery or design to development to regulatory approval can take more than 10 years. Drug candidates can fail at any stage of the process, and candidates may not receive regulatory approval even after many years of research.
As of June 30, 2013, we had two compounds (IRT-101 and IRT-103) in research and development. We currently have two active development programs in oncology and Crohn’s disease; both moving into Phase 3 clinical trials in early 2014.

The Company's R&D activities commenced in the third quarter of 2012, the Company having only completed the initial acquisition of MENK-related patents required for research in the second quarter of that year.
The Company's R&D efforts were focused in the first nine months of 2013 on the development of two products - LDN and MENK - for use in opioid-related immunomodulatory therapies. In the first nine months of 2013, the Company reported R&D expenditures of $15,510,310. Approximately 75% of that amount was spent on the development of LDN, the balance on MENK.

Summary
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent entirely on raising funds through the sale of equity or debt. We anticipate that we will continue our attempt to raise capital through private equity and debt transactions, develop a credit facility with a lender, or the exercise of options and warrants; however, such additional capital may not be available to us at acceptable terms or available at all. In the event that we are unable to obtain additional capital, we would be forced to cease operations altogether.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we did not engage in any off balance sheet arrangements as defined in item 303(a)(4) of the SEC’s Regulation S-K.
Not Applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“the Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting as of September 30, 2013, using the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based upon this assessment, our management concluded that, as of September 30, 2013, the internal controls over financial reporting were not effective. The reportable conditions and material weakness relate to a limited segregation of duties and lack of an audit committee. The limited segregation of duties within our company and the lack of an audit committee are due to the small number of employees. Management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. This material weakness could result in material misstatements of significant accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. In addition, due to limited staffing, we are not always able to detect minor errors or omissions in reporting.
Going forward, management anticipates that additional staff will be necessary to mitigate these weaknesses, as well as to implement other planned improvements. Additional staff will enable us to document and apply transactional and periodic controls procedures, permit a better review and approval process and improve quality of financial reporting. However, the potential addition of new staff is contingent on obtaining additional financing, and there is no assurance that we will be able to do so.

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Between July 1, 2013 and September 30, 2013, various warrant holders purchased an aggregate total of 1,652,500 shares of TNI BioTech, Inc. (the “Company”) at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. In addition, the Company sold an aggregate sum of 465,000 shares of its common stock at $1.25 and $1.00 per share pursuant to a private placement (the “Private Placement”). In total, the Company received $826,250 as consideration for the exercise of the previously-issued warrants (the “Warrants”) and $531,250 for the purchase of common stock under the Private Placement, for an aggregate sum of $1,357,500.
The issuance of the Company’s common stock in connection with the Warrants and Private Placement was completed in a private transaction by the Company not involving any public offering pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The shares purchased under the Warrants and Private Placement were issued bearing restrictive legend and may not be resold by the purchasers unless such shares are registered or an exemption from registration is available. The Company determined, based on representations of the investors, that the investors were “accredited investors” as defined under Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act.
