Nutra
Pharma Corp.
Notes
to
Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements
June

2008
1.
BASIS
OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial
information and Rule 8.03 of Regulation SX. They do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further
information, refer to the financial statements of the Company as of
December 31, 2007, and for the two years then ended, including notes
thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB.
The
accompanying 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. Actual results may differ from
these estimates.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of
Nutra
Pharma and its subsidiaries, Designer Diagnostics Inc. and Receptopharm Inc.
(collectively, the “Company”).
Income
(Loss) per Share
The
Company calculates net income (loss) per share as required by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 128, “Earnings per Share.” Basic
earnings (loss) per share, is calculated by dividing net income
(loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share, is calculated by dividing net
income
(loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common
stock equivalents outstanding. During periods in which the Company incurs
losses, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered, as their effect
would be anti dilutive.
2.
BASIS
OF REPORTING
The
Company’s financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in
the
normal course of business. At June 30, 2008, the Company had negative working
capital of $2,211,571 and an accumulated deficit of $21,083,602. In addition,
the Company has no revenue generating operations.
The
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability
to secure additional financing, increase ownership equity, and attain profitable
operations. In addition, the Company’s 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 the Company operates.
The
Company is pursuing financing for its operations and seeking additional
investments. In addition, the Company is seeking to establish a revenue base.
Failure to secure such financing or to raise additional equity capital and
to
establish a revenue base may result in the Company depleting its available
funds
and not being able to pay its obligations.

Nutra
Pharma Corp.
Notes
to
Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements
June
30,
2008
The
financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible
future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the
amounts
and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability
of
the Company to continue as a going concern.
3.
ACQUISITION OF RECEPTOPHARM, INC.
On
April
10, 2008, the Company completed a transaction pursuant to which it acquired
the
remaining sixty-two percent (62%) of Receptopharm’s issued and outstanding
common shares in exchange for a maximum of 30,000,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock. Prior to April 10, 2008, the Company owned 4,444,445 shares
or approximately 38% of Receptopharm’s common stock. As a result of this
transaction, the Company now owns 100% of the issued and outstanding common
stock of Receptopharm.
The
exchange ratio in this transaction was four (4) Nutra Pharma shares for each
Receptopharm share.
The
Company accounted for this acquisition under the purchase method of accounting.
The calculation of the total purchase cost is as follows:

The
purchase cost in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded
as
an goodwill.
As
of
June 30, 2008, the Company had issued a total of 19,000,000 shares of its
common
stock in exchange for 4,750,000 shares of Receptopharm. The Company expects
to
issue the remaining 11,000,000 shares to the Receptopharm shareholders during
the quarter ending September 30, 2008.
On
December 12, 2003, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement (the
“Agreement”), whereby it agreed to acquire up to a 49.5% interest in
ReceptoPharm, Inc. (“ReceptoPharm”), a privately held biopharmaceutical company
based in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. ReceptoPharm is a development stage company
engaged in the research and development of proprietary therapeutic proteins
for
the treatment of several chronic viral, autoimmune and neuro-degenerative
diseases.
Pursuant
to the Agreement, the Company acquired its interest in ReceptoPharm’s common
equity for $2,000,000 in cash, which equates to a purchase price of $.45
per
share. ReceptoPharm intended to use such funds to further research and
development, which could significantly impact future results of
operations.
At
March
31, 2006, the Company had funded the $2,000,000 to ReceptoPharm under the
Agreement, which equated to a 37% ownership interest in ReceptoPharm. As
of
March 31, 2007, the Company owned 4,444,445 shares or 38% of the issued and
outstanding common equity of ReceptoPharm. In addition to its ownership
interest, as of March 31, 2007, the Company had loaned ReceptoPharm $975,000 for
working capital purposes.
For
accounting purposes, the Company through March 31, 2007, had been treating
its
capital investment in ReceptoPharm as a vehicle for research and development.
Because the Company is solely providing financial support to further the
research and development of ReceptoPharm, such amounts are being charged
to
expense as incurred by
ReceptoPharm.

Nutra
Pharma Corp.
Notes
to
Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements
June
30,
2008
ReceptoPharm
presently has no ability to fund these activities and is dependent on the
Company to fund its operations. In these circumstances, ReceptoPharm is
considered a variable interest entity and has been consolidated. The creditors
of ReceptoPharm do not have recourse to the general credit of the
Company.
Effective
in April 2007 the Company ceased advancing funds to Receptopharm and had
no
further commitment to fund them. As such, the Company deconsolidated
Receptopharm from its financial statements at June 30, 2007. This
deconsolidation resulted in a gain of $1,081,095. This gain resulted from
the
Company reversing the net losses of Receptopharm included in its consolidated
financial statements and including the net losses as if the equity method
had
been applied. In addition, the Company wrote off the balance of its investment
in ($2,000,000) and advances to ($975,000) Receptopharm as discussed above
as
they were deemed to be impaired at June 30, 2007.
The
gain
was computed as follows:

DUE TO
OFFICERS
During
the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company borrowed an additional $210,000
from its President, Rik Deitsch, increasing the total amount owed under to
Mr.
Deitsch to $979,877. This demand loan is unsecured and bears interest at
a rate
of 4.0%. Included in the amount owed to Mr. Deitsch is $130,502 of accrued
interest.
On
March
14, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an offer made by Mr.
Deitsch, to discharge $1,200,000 of Mr. Deitsch’s outstanding loan to the
Company in exchange for 48,000,000 shares of restricted common stock. The
price
per share in this loan conversion was the fair market value of the common
shares
of $0.025.
5.
STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
From
January 1 through June 30, 2008, the Company completed private placements
of

CONTINGENCIES
On
April 4, 2005, a Motion to Enforce Settlement Agreement was filed against
the Company in the Circuit Court of Broward County Florida by Bio Therapeutics,
Inc. f/k/a Phylomed Corp. in Nutra
Pharma Corp. v. Bio Therapeutics, Inc. (17th
Judicial Circuit, Case No. 03-008928 (03). This proceeding results from the
Company’s alleged breach of a settlement agreement that was entered into between
Bio Therapeutics and the Company in resolution of a previous lawsuit between
the
Company and Bio Therapeutics that was resolved by entering into a Settlement
Agreement. In conjunction with the settlement agreement, the Company also
entered into a related License Agreement and Amendment to the License Agreement
(“License Agreement”) with Bio Therapeutics regarding certain pieces of
intellectual property owned by Bio Therapeutics. In the April 4, 2005
motion, Bio Therapeutics alleges that the Company breached certain provisions of
the License Agreement and requested that the Court grant its motion to enforce
the Settlement Agreement by declaring the License Agreement terminated,
enjoining the Company from further use of license products that was granted
to
it by the License Agreement, and awarding attorneys’ fees and costs to Bio
Therapeutics.
During
the last quarter of 2007, the Company moved for summary judgment regarding
Bio
Therapeutics’ Motion to Enforce Settlement Agreement and the Court and on April
28, 2008, the Court (i) granted the Company’s Cross Motion for Summary Judgment;
(ii) declared Bio Therapeutics Amended Motion for Summary Judgment moot;
and
(iii) denied Bio Therapeutics Motion to Enforce Settlement Agreement.

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations/Plan
of
Operations
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Our
independent registered public accounting firm issued a going concern opinion
on
our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
We
have experienced recurring net losses and at June 30, 2008, we had an
accumulated deficit of $21,083,602, and negative working capital of $2,211,571.
Additionally, we have no revenue generating operations. 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. Should
we fail to secure adequate financing or establish a revenue base for our
operations, we may deplete our available funds and be unable to pay our
obligations.
We
have
estimated expenses of $2,575,000 pertaining to our twelve month Plan of
Operations or $214,583 of monthly expenditures. Based on our current cash
position, we only have enough funds to accomplish our operational plan for
a
period of three months. Our ability to meet these expenses is dependent upon
our
ability to raise additional capital or our management loaning us sufficient
funds to meet our expenses.
We
will
attempt to satisfy our estimated cash requirements for our twelve month Plan
of
Operations through the sale of Designer Diagnostics’ test kits; however, if
sales do not achieve adequate levels to provide for our operations, we will
have
to raise additional capital through a divestiture of assets, a private
placement of our equity securities or, if necessary, possibly through
shareholder loans or traditional bank financing or a debt offering; however,
because we are a development stage company with a limited operating history
and
a poor financial condition, we may be unsuccessful in obtaining shareholder
loans, conducting a private placement of equity securities, or in obtaining
bank
financing. In addition, if we only have nominal funds by which to conduct our
operations, which will negatively impact development of our possible
products.
We
have
no alternative Plan of Operations. In the event that we do not obtain adequate
financing to complete our Plan of Operations or if we do not adequately
implement an alternative plan of operations that enables us to conduct
operations without having received adequate financing, we may have to liquidate
our business and undertake any or all of the following actions:
·
|
Sell
or dispose of our assets, if any;
|
·
|
Pay
our liabilities in order of priority, if we have available cash to
pay
such liabilities;
|
·
|
If
any cash remains after we satisfy amounts due to our creditors, distribute
any remaining cash to our shareholders in an amount equal to the
net
market value of our net assets;
|
·
|
File
a Certificate of Dissolution with the State of California to dissolve
our
corporation and close our business;
|
·
|
Make
the appropriate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
so
that we will no longer be required to file periodic and other required
reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, if, in fact,
we are a
reporting company at that time; and
|
·
|
Make
the appropriate filings with the National Association of Security
Dealers
to effect a delisting of our common stock, if, in fact, our common
stock
is trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at that
time.
|
Based
upon our current assets, however, we will not have the ability to distribute
any
cash to our shareholders. If we have any liabilities that we are unable to
satisfy and we qualify for protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, we may
voluntarily file for reorganization under Chapter 11 or liquidation under
Chapter 7. Our creditors may also file a Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 bankruptcy
action against us. If our creditors or we file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 11
bankruptcy, our creditors will take priority over our shareholders. If we fail
to file for bankruptcy under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 and we have creditors,
such
creditors may institute proceedings against us seeking forfeiture of our assets,
if any.
10
We
do not
know and cannot determine which, if any, of these actions we will be forced
to
take. If any of these foregoing events occur, you could lose your entire
investment in our shares.
Results
of Operations – Comparison
of
Three Month Periods ending June 30, 2007 and June 30,
2008
We
did
not recognize any revenues in the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and
2007.
General
and administrative expenses increased by $340,072 or 15736% from $2,161 for
the
quarter ended June 30, 2007 to $342,233 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008;
this increase is due primarily to ReceptoPharm’s operations being
consolidated into our operations during the quarter ending June 30, 2008,
which was not so consolidated as of June 30, 2007.
We
incurred a net loss of $356,535 during the 3 month period ending June 30,
2008
compared to net income of $1,107,990 for the comparable period in 2007. During
the 3 month period ending June 30, 2007, we recognized a gain related to
the
deconsolidation of ReceptoPharm of $1,081,095. Excluding this gain our net
income for the 3 months ended June 30, 2007 would have been
$26,895.
Results
of Operations – Comparison of Six Month Periods ending June 30, 2007 and June
30, 2008
We
did
not recognize any revenues during the six month periods ended June 30, 2008
and
June 30, 2007.
General
and administrative expenses increased by $204,386 or 39% from $315,131 for
the
six months ended June 30, 2007 to $519,517 for the six months ended June 30,
2008; this increase is due primarily to ReceptoPharm’s operations being
consolidated into
our operations during
the quarter ending June 30, 2008, which was not so consolidated as of June
30,
2007.
We
incurred a net loss of $974,508 during the 6 month period ending June 30,
2008
compared to net income of $731,829 for the comparable period in 2007. During
the
6 month period ending June 30, 2007, we recognized a gain related to the
deconsolidation of ReceptoPharm of $1,081,095. Excluding this gain our net
income for the 6 months ended June 30, 2007 would have been
$349,266.

OUR
PLAN
OF OPERATIONS TO DATE:
To
date,
we have accomplished the following in our Plan of Operations:
In
approximately October 2005, we completed pre-clinical studies with various
companies that ReceptoPharm has agreements with pertaining to ReceptoPharm’s
Multiple Scherosis (MS) and HIV drugs, which consist of (a) and (b)
below:
(a)
MS
Drug under Development (RPI-78M) - ReceptoPharm conducted microarray and
histoculture studies and related analysis of the cells of Multiple Sclerosis
patients to ascertain how RPI-78M affected the cells of these patients.
Microarray analysis is the study of the gene expression of cells. Histoculture
is the study of the entire cellular environment. We measured the effect of
RPI-78M on gene expression using cDNA microarray technology to identify any
potentially unique changes in gene expression that may be caused by RPI-78M.
After statistical evaluation of the data, the researchers found more than sixty
genes with significant changes in expression as compared to the control. In
analyzing the affected genes, at least thirty of them may have a specific role
in the progression of the disease and symptoms of MS; and
(b)
HIV
Drug under Development (RPI-MN) - Viral isolates are common mutations of HIV.
ReceptoPharm, through an agreement with the University of California, San Diego,
conducted research to study the effect of ReceptoPharm’s drug under development
on different viral isolates to determine the drug’s efficacy in mutated forms of
the HIV virus. The ability of the HIV virus to establish resistance to
therapeutic drugs through genetic mutation is a major concern in the treatment
of HIV/AIDS. HIV does not always make perfect copies of itself. With billions
of
viruses being made every day, lots of small, random differences can occur.
The
differences are called mutations and these mutations can prevent drugs from
working effectively. When a drug no longer works against HIV, this is called
drug resistance and the virus with the mutation is considered to be ‘resistant’
to the drug. With the increasing number of drug-resistant patients, it is of
great importance in the development of new HIV/AIDS therapeutics that they
will
be effective against HIV of known resistance characteristics. The inhibition
of
multi-resistant HIV-1 strains by RPI-MN preparations was investigated at the
La
Jolla Institute of Molecular Medicine. The results from these trials indicate
that the drug is effective against drug-resistant strains of HIV.
|
·
|
On
January 24, 2006, we obtained NanoLogix’s intellectual property pertaining
to the manufacture of test kits for the rapid isolation, detection
and
antibiotic sensitivity testing of certain microbacteria, which includes
reassignment to us of 11 key patents protecting the diagnostics test
kit
technology and NanoLogix licensing to us, and the remaining 18 patents
that protect the diagnostics test kit
technology.
|
|
·
|
In
February 2006, we completed the initial funding of ReceptoPharm in
the
amount of $2,000,000.
|
|
·
|
In
January 2006, we established Designer Diagnostics to sell NonTuberculois
Mycobacterium test kits.
|
|
·
|
Designer
Diagnostics held a Continuing Medical Education Seminar at the Mahatma
Gandhi Institute in India on March 24, 2006 during the World Stop
TB Day.
At that meeting, Designer Diagnostics officially began marketing
their
test kits for the rapid isolation, detection and antibiotic-sensitivity
testing of microbacteria. In March 2006, we made our first sales
of
Designer Diagnostics’ test kits.
|
|
·
|
In
May 2006, ReceptoPharm received approval from the Medicines Health
and
Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for its application of human clinical trials
for
the treatment of Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN). The MHRA is the medical
regulatory agency within the British Department of
Health.
|
13
|
·
|
From
March and April of 2006, ReceptoPharm published two clinical trials
on the
use of their technology for the treatment of
pain.
|
|
·
|
In
June 2006, ReceptoPharm published the results of their EAE rat model
of MS, which showed that their drug, RPI-78M, had promising results
in an accepted animal model of the
disease.
|
|
·
|
In
October of 2006, ReceptoPharm received Ethics Committee approval
in the
United Kingdom to begin its Phase IIb human clinical trial for the
treatment of AMN. This approval allows for the late Phase II/early
Phase
III (Iib/IIIa) trial to begin.
|
|
·
|
From
November 29, 2006 to December 2, 2006, ReceptoPharm presented their
analgesic research on RPI-78M at the International Conference on
Neurotoxins (ICoN) in Hollywood, Florida.
|
|
·
|
In
January of 2007, we completed a series of microarray studies with
various
companies that ReceptoPharm has agreements with pertaining to
ReceptoPharm’s anti-viral drug. The microarray studies indicated that the
exposure of healthy immune T-cells to our antiviral drugs activates
the
primary immune mechanisms. The expression of one such immune trigger,
interferon gamma, is increased by as much as 20 times, acting as
an
effective antiviral agent, but without the significant negative clinical
side effects of other interferon-based therapies. This may explain
the
broad antiviral activity observed with these types of agents. Based
upon
this data, these products could conceivably be used to substitute
for the
flu shot in winter or protect against other contagious viral diseases
when
vaccines are not readily available.
|
|
·
|
In
January of 2007, Designer Diagnostics received positive results from
its
in-vitro analysis of its Tuberculosis (TB) test kit. Normal culturing
methods can take as long as 10 weeks to produce results, where Designer
Diagnostics test kits have shown similar results within 10
days.
|

|
·
|
In
March of 2007, ReceptoPharm published an article in the Critical
Reviews
in Immunology special conference issue. The article, entitled
“Alpha-Cobratoxin”, discussed Alpha-Cobratoxin as a possible therapy for
Multiple Sclerosis, reviews the literature leading to the development
for
this application, and discusses the background and reasoning behind
ReceptoPharm’s research on its treatment for Multiple Sclerosis
(MS).
|
|
·
|
On
March 27, 2007, we completed our first licensing payment on behalf
of

OUR
TWELVE-MONTH PLAN OF OPERATIONS PENDING ADEQUATE FINANCING
We
intend
to accomplish the following regarding our Plan of Operations over the next
twelve months.
Designer
Diagnostics, Inc.
Designer
Diagnostics’ NTM Test Kits are now being marketed and we will attempt to market
to a global audience, including:
·
|
Hospitals;
|
·
|
Pharmaceutical
companies;
|
·
|
Biotechnology
companies;
|
·
|
Medical
device distributors;
|
·
|
Governmental
organizations;
|
|
|
·
|
Environmental
testing facilities; and
|
|
|
·
|
Government
water and soil testing facilities at the local, state and federal
levels.
|
Over
the
next twelve months, Designer Diagnostics will attempt to distribute the test
kits to the above companies and organizations. Additionally, Designer
Diagnostics will seek to create Joint Ventures and other partnerships for the
efficient global distribution of the test kits. Our first sales occurred during
our second quarter of 2006. When and if sales of the test kits exceed our
operating budget, we will use the test kit proceeds to fund drug research and
clinical studies in the area of MS and HIV.
Third-party
researchers are currently validating Designer Diagnostics’ TB Test Kit and we
anticipate research completion some time in 2008. Additionally, the test kits
are now utilized for environmental analysis for the presence of NTM in the
water
and/or soil. This allows investigators to easily find the source of
contamination and may greatly reduce NTM infections and outbreaks.
16
Designer
Diagnostics’ President will attempt to develop a distribution network and
actively market the test kits to supply administrators of companies and/or
governmental organizations in the following markets: hospitals; pharmaceutical;
biotechnology; medical device distributors. Designer Diagnostics will also
attempt to acquire other medical diagnostic products to develop that same
distribution market. Designer Diagnostic’s President will also seek license
agreements to develop revenue streams consisting of drug discovery, drug
development, and new medical device technologies.
ReceptoPharm
Clinical
Studies
In
January of 2007, ReceptoPharm began their clinical study in AMN. AMN is a
genetic disorder that affects the central nervous system. The disease causes
neurological disability that is slowly progressive over several decades.
Throughout our twelve month Plan of Operations and for 3 months thereafter,
ReceptoPharm plans to conduct clinical studies of its AMN drug. The study is
underway and completed its patient recruitment process and is being conducted
by
the Charles Dent Metabolic Unit located in London, England to conduct a clinical
study that provides for:
·
|
Recruitment
of 20 patients with AMN;
|
·
|
Administering
ReceptoPharm’s AMN drug under development;
and
|
·
|
Monitoring
patients throughout a 15-month
protocol.
|
The
clinical study is classified as a Phase IIb/IIIa study. We announced the
completion of the trial in July 2008. The data is being analyzed for
presentation and publication. On August 14, 2008 we announced initial positive
safety data from the trial. Final data analysis should be completed and released
by the end of September 2008. We will be seeking a licensing partner to complete
clinical trials and allow for Regulatory approval of the drug in the United
Kingdom and the United States.
In
the
areas of HIV and MS, ReceptoPharm plans to complete preclinical studies of
its
MS drug under development over the next 12 months. These include toxicology
studies as well as pharmacokinetic studies required for regulatory approval.
ReceptoPharm also 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/MS drugs under development.
ReceptoPharm is in the process of attempting to secure agreements with third
parties to conduct such clinical studies.

the

of
the Acquisition and ReceptoPharm will, by reason of the Merger, be converted
as

into one (1) share of ReceptoPharm’s common stock; and (ii) each share of
ReceptoPharm common stock (apart from shares of ReceptoPharm common stock that
