NUTRA PHARMA CORP.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements

June 30, 2013

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization

 

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

 

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

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

The Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Therefore, the interim Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

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

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

Our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplate the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have experienced recurring, significant losses from operations, and have an accumulated deficit of $38,726,304 at June 30, 2013. In addition, we had respective working capital and stockholders’ deficits at June 30, 2013 of $3,768,198 and $3,710,802.

 

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

 

As of June 30, 2013, we do not have sufficient cash to sustain our operations for the next year and will require additional financing in order to execute our operating plan and continue as a going concern. Since our sales are not currently adequate to fund our operations, we continue to rely principally on debt and equity funding; however proceeds from such funding have not been sufficient to execute our business plan. Our plan is to attempt to secure adequate funding until sales of our pain products are adequate to fund our operations. We cannot predict whether additional financing will be available, and/or whether any such funding will be in the form of equity, debt, or another form. In the event that these financing sources do not materialize, or if we are unsuccessful in increasing our revenues and profits, we will be unable to implement our current plans for expansion, repay our obligations as they become due and continue as a going concern.

 

F-4
 

 

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

 

Use of Estimates

 

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense. Significant estimates include our ability to continue as going concern, the recoverability of inventories and long-lived assets, and the valuation of stock-based compensation and certain debt and warrant liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates, which would be recorded in the period in which they become known.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In general, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Provision for sales returns is estimated based on our historical return experience. Revenue is presented net of returns and allowances for returns. In 2011, the Company recorded a return allowance of $503,958 representing products sold to Nutritional Alliance during 2011 and returned in March of 2012. The products were subsequently written off as worthless.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

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

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company grants credit without collateral to its customers based on the Company’s evaluation of a particular customer’s credit worthiness. In addition, allowances for doubtful accounts are maintained for potential credit losses based on the age of the accounts receivable and the results of the Company’s periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. Accounts receivable are written off after collection efforts have been deemed to be unsuccessful. Accounts written off as uncollectible are deducted from the allowance for doubtful accounts, while subsequent recoveries are netted against the provision for doubtful accounts expense. The Company generally does not charge interest on accounts receivable.

 

Accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value. Accounts receivable are comprised of balances due from customers net of estimated allowances for uncollectible accounts. There were no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded as of June 30, 2013.

 

Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk

 

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

 

Balances in various cash accounts may at times exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. There were no sales concentrations at June 30, 2013.

 

F-5
 

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

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

 

Property and Equipment and Long-Lived Assets

 

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

 

Property and equipment consists of the following at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

 

   June 30,
2013
   December 31,
2012
 
         
Computer equipment  $21,918   $21,918 
Furniture and fixtures   34,757    34,757 
Lab equipment   42,129    42,129 
Telephone equipment   12,421    12,421 
Office equipment – other   2,629    2,629 
Leasehold improvements   67,417    67,417 
Total   181,271    181,271 
Less: Accumulated depreciation and amortization   (149,247)   (141,756)
           
Property and equipment, net  $32,024   $39,515 

 

We review our long-lived assets for recoverability if events or changes in circumstances indicate the assets may be impaired. At June 30, 2013, we believe the carrying values of our long-lived assets are recoverable. Depreciation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $3,745 and $7,491, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

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

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During periods in which we incur losses, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered, as their effect would be anti-dilutive or have no effect on earnings per share. As of June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the following items were not included in dilutive loss as the effect is anti-dilutive:

 

F-6
 

 

   June 30, 2013   June 30, 2012 
Options and warrants   84,856,667    47,921,667 
Convertible notes payable   100,000,000    19,793,996 
Total   184,856,667    67,715,663 

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the 2012 Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

We have determined that all recently issued accounting standards have not and will not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Financial statements.

 

2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Certain assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2013 are measured in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820-10-05, Fair Value Measurements. FASB ASC Topic 820-10-05 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities as well as for non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements.

 

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

 

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

 

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

 

The following table summarizes our financial instruments measured at fair value as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

 

   Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2013 
Liabilities:  Total   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
                 
Warrant liability  $17,193   $-   $-   $17,193 
Convertible notes at fair value  $472,586   $-   $-   $472,586

Ending balance  $17,193 

 

(1) The gain or loss related to the revaluation of our warrant liability is included in “Change in fair value of derivatives” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

The Company values its warrants using a Dilution-Adjusted Black-Scholes Model. Assumptions used include (1) 0.36% to 0.80% risk-free rate, (2) warrant life is the remaining contractual life of the warrants, (3) expected volatility of 124% to 236% (4) zero expected dividends (5) exercise price set forth in the agreements (6) common stock price of the underlying share on the valuation date, and (7) number of shares to be issued if the instrument is converted (See note 5).

Following the agreements with Coventry, Coventry made the conversions for a total of 31,416,845 shares of the company’s restricted stock during the second quarter of 2013 satisfying the notes in full at the fair value of $186,646.

 

In June, 2013, $57,800 of the debt was assigned to Coventry for a consideration of $60,000 from Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz, PC. in the form of Convertible Redeemable Notes bearing interest of 8% annum.

Following the agreements, Coventry made the conversions for a total of 27,272,727 shares of the company’s restricted stock satisfying the notes in full at the fair value of $167,495.

 

As a result of the debt assignments and conversions with Coventry, the remaining balance of the debt at June 30, 2013 is $337,182 which consisted of the following loans:

 

i.On August 2, 2011 under a settlement agreement with Liquid Packaging Resources, Inc. (“LPR”), the Company agreed to pay LPR a total of $350,000 in monthly installments of $50,000 beginning August 15, 2011 and ending on February 15, 2012. This settlement amount was recorded as general and administrative expenses on the date of the settlement. We did not make the December 2011 or January 2012 payments and on January 26, 2012, we signed the first amendment to the settlement agreement whereunder we agreed to pay $175,000 which was the balance outstanding at December 31, 2011(this includes a $25,000 penalty for non-payment).

 

The Company repaid $25,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company did not make all of the payments under such amendment and as a result pursuant to the original settlement agreement, LPR had the right to sell 5,714,326 shares of the Company’s free trading stock held in escrow by their attorney and receive cash settlements for a total amount of $450,000 (the initial $350,000 plus total default penalties of $100,000). The $100,000 default was expensed during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The balance due to LPR at September 30, 2012 was $250,000. LPR sold the note to Southridge Partners, LLP (“Southridge”) for consideration of $281,772 in October 2012. The debt was reverted back to the Company (See note 3).

 

ii.At September 30, 2012, the Company owed University Centre West Ltd. approximately $55,410, which was assigned and sold to Southridge and subsequently reverted back to the Company (See note 3).

 

(3)At June 30, 2013, the balance of $472,586 consisted of the following convertible loans:

 

In September and October 2011, the Company borrowed $250,000 each (aggregating $500,000) from two non-related parties. The principal of these loans were to be repaid with a balloon payment on or before October 1, 2012. On October 19, 2012 the parties amended the notes to extend the due date to May 1, 2013 and include a conversion feature that would allow the holders to convert some or all of their outstanding notes into restricted Company stock at a 15% discount to the average closing market price of the Company's stock traded over the previous 10 days. Interest on these loans is payable monthly beginning in November 2011 with interest calculated at 20% and 12%, each, respectively. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2013, the accrued interest payable was $6,664 and $10,833, respectively.

 

F-11
 

 

On April 30, 2013, the parties amended the notes to further extend the maturity date to November 3, 2013. The Company issued a total of 4,000,000 restricted shares to the note holders in connection with the amendment at a fair value of $20,800 (See note 6).

 

During June 2013, one of the Notes holders made the conversion of 22,058,882 shares of the company’s restricted stock satisfying the note in the amount of $75,000 with a fair value of $188,352 on the date of conversion. At June 30, 2013, the remaining balance of this convertible note payable, at fair value, was recorded at $430,438.

 

·On March 22, 2013, the Company issued a Convertible Debenture in the amount of $20,000 to Coventry Enterprises, LLC (“Coventry”). The note carries interest at 10% and is due on March 22, 2014, unless previously converted into shares of restricted common stock. Coventry has the right to convert the note, until is no longer outstanding into shares of Common Stock at a price lesser of $.0075, or (ii) fifty-five percent (55%) of the average of the three lowest VWAP prices of the Company’s Common Stock for the twenty trading days preceding the conversion date.

 

In connection with the issuance of this convertible note payable, the Company encountered a day-one derivative loss of $24,931 and change in fair value of derivative in the amount of $5,952, respectively. At June 30, 2013, this convertible note payable, at fair value, was recorded at $42,148.

 

In connection with the issuances of the Note, the Company also granted five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Company classified embedded conversion features in these warrants as a derivative liability. The warrants were valued at their fair value of $21,226 and $11,390, respectively using the Black-Scholes method at the commitment and re-measurement dates of March 22, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively.

 

In the evaluation of these financing arrangements, the Company concluded that these conversion features did not meet the conditions set forth in current accounting standards for equity classification. Since equity classification is not available for the conversion feature, it requires bifurcation and liability classification, at fair value. The Company also concluded that the Default Put required bifurcation because, while puts on debt instruments are generally considered clearly and closely related to the host, the Default Put is indexed to certain events that are not associated with the convertible note payable.

 

The Company elected to account for these hybrid contracts under the guidance of ASC 815-15-25-4. The fair value has been defined as the common stock equivalent value, enhanced by the fair value of the default put plus the present value of the coupon.

 

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

 

Furthermore, there are additional events that could cause the lender to be due additional shares of common stock above and beyond the shares due from a conversion. Some of these events include, but are not limited to a merger or consolidation of the Company, dividend distribution or spin off, dilutive issuances of the Company’s stock, etc. If the lender receives additional shares of the Company’s commons stock due to any of the foregoing events or for other reasons, then this may have an extremely dilutive effect on the shareholders of the Company. Such dilution would likely result in a significant drop in the per share price of the Company’s common stock. The potential dilutive nature of this note presents a very high degree of risk to the Company and its shareholders

During March, 2013, the Company issued a total of 2,600,000 warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share in connection with issuance of a convertible note payable to Coventry. The warrants expire on March 22, 2018 (See note 5).

   Number of shares   Weighted average exercise price 
Balance December 31, 2012   57,256,667   $0.10

Issued   27,600,000   $0.01 – 0.10 
Forfeited   -    - 
Balance June 30, 2013   84,856,667   $0.0967

As of June 30, 2013, the aggregate intrinsic value of all stock options and warrants outstanding and expected to vest was $0. The intrinsic value of each option share is the difference between the fair market value of our common stock and the exercise price of such option share to the extent it is “in-the-money”. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the value that would have been received by the holders of in-the-money options had they exercised their options on the last trading day of the year and sold the underlying shares at the closing stock price on such day. The intrinsic value calculation is based on the $0.0045 closing stock price of our common stock on June 28, 2013, the last trading day of second quarter of 2013. There were no in-the-money warrants at June 30, 2013.

Litigation

 

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

 

On August 18, 2006, ReceptoPharm was named as a defendant in Patricia Meding, et. al. v. ReceptoPharm, Inc. f/k/a Receptogen, Inc., Index No.: 18247/06 (New York Supreme Court, Queens County). The original proceeding claimed that ReceptoPharm owed the Plaintiffs, including Patricia Meding, a former ReceptoPharm officer and shareholder and several corporations that she claims to own, the sum of $118,928.15 plus interest and counsel fees on a series of promissory notes that were allegedly executed in 2001 and 2002. On August 23, 2007, the Queens County, New York Supreme Court issued a decision denying Plaintiffs motion for summary judgment in lieu of a complaint, concluding that there were issues of fact concerning the enforceability of the promissory notes. On May 23, 2008, the Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in which they reasserted their original claims and asserted new claims seeking damages of no less than $768,506 on their claims that in or about June 2004 ReceptoPharm breached its fiduciary duty to the Plaintiffs as shareholders of ReceptoPharm by wrongfully canceling certain of their purported ReceptoPharm share certificates. In late 2010, Plaintiffs further amended their complaint alleging that ReceptoPharm violated Plaintiffs contractual and statutory rights by cancelling an additional 1,214,800 share certificates and failing to permit the Plaintiffs to exercise dissenting shareholder rights with respect to those share certificates. The damages associated with the Plaintiff’s claims could rise as the result of any increases in the Company’s share price as the ReceptoPharm shares may be convertible into the Company’s common shares. The potential exposure may exceed $10,000,000 if the Plaintiffs are successful with all of their claims.

 

ReceptoPharm believes the suit is without merit and has filed an answer denying the material allegations of the amended complaint and asserted a series of counterclaims against the Plaintiffs alleging claims for declaratory judgment, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and conversion and unjust enrichment as a result of the promissory notes. Plaintiffs have moved for partial summary judgment on their claims regarding the additional 1,214,800 shares, but not on their claims regarding the alleged promissory notes or the additional 1,750,000 shares they alledge they are owed. In August of 2011, the Plaintiff's motion was partially granted. In September 2012, Recepto Pharm's attorneys filed a Motion to be removed as counsel. Their motion was denied on April 26, 2013 due to the current Involuntary Bankruptcy action filed against Nutra Pharma. The court has issued a stay in the proceedings pending the outcome of the Bankruptcy action. ReceptoPharm is seeking new counsel to oppose the partial summary judgment. We intend to vigorously contest this matter and accordingly no effect has been given to any loss that may result from the resolution of this matter in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Financial statements.

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

On June 11, 2012, LPR sold their debt to Southridge Partners, LLP in an agreement to be paid out over time. We had expected them to complete those payments by the end of 2012 to satisfy the obligation in its entirety. The action from Southridge was removed pending the outcome of the Bankruptcy action against us. The Company is currently negotiating with Southridge to arrange a settlement of the debt. We expect a rapid settlement once the Bankruptcy action is completed. Once satisfied, LPR will return all of the Company's collateral shares currently held by LPR's attorney.

 

Laurence N. Raymond v. Receptopharm, Inc. et al.

 

On December 30, 2011 Laurence N. Raymond ("Raymond") brought the case against Receptopharm, Inc. ("Receptopharm") and Nutra Pharma to recover approximately $300,000 that was allegedly either loaned to Receptopharm or owing to Raymond pursuant to an oral employment agreement. The Complaint alleges that Nutra Pharma is jointly liable for Raymond's damages because Receptopharm was allegedly merged into Nutra Pharma. The parties have engaged in settlement discussions. The outcome of this matter is uncertain, no range of potential loss can be estimated and accordingly no effect has been given to any loss above what has already been accrued that may result from the resolution of this matter in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Financial statements.

 

Paul F. Reid v, Harold H. Rumph et al.

 

On December 28, 2011 Paul F. Reid ("Reid") brought the case against Harold H. Rumph ("Rumph"), Receptopharm, and Nutra Pharma to recover approximately $330,000 that was allegedly either loaned to Receptopharm or owing to Reid pursuant to an oral employment agreement, The Complaint alleges that Nutra Pharma is jointly liable for Reid's damages because Receptopharm was allegedly merged into Nutra Pharma. Nutra Pharma has answered the Complaint and specifically denied the validity of several promissory notes that form the basis of Reid's damages. According to Nutra Pharma, Reid may have a claim for approximately $140,000 (which is included in accruals for disputed services), but any amounts above that are not supported by the record. The parties have engaged in limited discovery to date, including the June 2012 deposition of Rumph. The Company will vigorously defend against this action and, in so doing, will attempt to settle this case favorably and accordingly no effect has been given to any loss above what has already been accrued that may result from the resolution of this matter in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Financial statements

Involuntary Petition of Bankruptcy

 

On August 31, 2012 a Petition for Involuntary Bankruptcy was filed against us by former ReceptoPharm employees and a former consultant to ReceptoPharm in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Florida. The Petitioners are claiming a total of $990,927.75 due them in the form of accrued wages and a Note Payable. On October 12, 2012 the Plaintiffs filed an amended Petition, in effect lowering their claims to $816,662.39. We believe that the petition is frivolous and that their claims lack merit. The Company will vigorously defend against this action and accordingly no effect has been given to any loss above what has already been accrued that may result from the resolution of this matter in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Financial statements.

 

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

  

Introduction 

 

During the second quarter of 2013, our business has focused upon marketing our fully developed three homeopathic drugs for the treatment of pain: 

 

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

  · Nyloxin™ (Stage 2 Pain) and Nyloxin™ Extra Strength (Stage 3 Pain).

 

We will continue this focus during the remainder of 2013. 

 

During our second quarter of 2013 and thereafter, the following has occurred: 

 

On June 24, we announced the launch of our new homeopathic formula for the treatment of chronic pain in companion animals, Pet Pain-Away. Pet Pain-Away is a homeopathic, non-narcotic, non-addictive, over-the-counter pain reliever, primarily aimed at treating moderate to severe chronic pain in companion animals. It is specifically indicated to treat pain from hip dysplasia, arthritis pain, joint pain, and general chronic pain in dogs, cats and horses.

 

On June 18, we announced that New Vitality, a marketing and distribution company, had begun a test radio campaign to gauge the market acceptance of Nyloxin™. The 60-second ads ran for several weeks on radio stations throughout the United States. As a result of positive testing, New Vitality will be adding Nyloxin to their e-commerce website as they continue to advertize the product.

 

On June 10, we announced a Licensing Agreement for the marketing and distribution of our original product, Cobroxin® with Cobra Pharmaceuticals. The terms of the licensing agreement state that Cobra Pharmaceuticals will be responsible for marketing, distribution, inventory control and customer service of Cobroxin®. They will maintain exclusive rights in perpetuity provided that they maintain minimum quarterly sales that increase over time.

 

Cobroxin® 

 

We offer Cobroxin®, our over-the-counter pain reliever that has been clinically proven to treat moderate to severe (Stage 2) chronic pain. Cobroxin® was developed by ReceptoPharm, our drug discovery arm and wholly owned subsidiary. Cobroxin® is not currently being marketed. In August 2009, we completed an agreement with XenaCare Holdings (“XenaCare”) granting it the exclusive license to market and distribute Cobroxin® within the United States. In mid-October 2009, XenaCare began selling Cobroxin® online through its product website, www.Cobroxin.com.

In November 2009, XenaCare began selling Cobroxin® to brick-and-mortar retailers, including distribution to CVS in March 2010 and Walgreens in May 2010. On April 1, 2011, we notified our Cobroxin® Distributor, XenaCare that they were in breach of our agreement. As a result of this, the distribution agreement was terminated effective April 10, 2011. XenaCare had a large stock of the product that they had ordered from us and we have allowed them to continue to market their existing inventory of Cobroxin®. In October, 2011 we discontinued their website at www.Cobroxin.com. All current traffic to that website is now redirected to www.Nyloxin.com. On June 10, 2013, we announced a new licensing agreement for the distribution of Cobroxin® with Cobra Pharmaceuticals, LLC. The new distributors expect to begin a direct response campaign by the fourth quarter of 2013 with the return to retail in 2014.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Nyloxin™/Nyloxin™ Extra Strength

 

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

 

 Nyloxin™

 

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

 

Nyloxin™ Extra Strength

 

·Topical Gel: 60 mcg/mL
·Oral Spray: 140 mcg/mL

 

Cobroxin®

 

·Topical Gel: 20 mcg/mL

 

5
 

 

·Oral Spray: 35 mcg/mL

 

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

 

In September of 2012 we began distributing Nyloxin™ through TCN International, a Network Marketing Company. TCN distributes products and software applications to approximately 400,000 independent agents in more than 30 countries, including more than 40,000 agents in the United States.

 

In April of 2013, we created a portal website for Nyloxin™ Distribution to a buyer's club, Freedom 10. The Freedom 10 group is able to buy our products at a discount based on the volume of products sold.

 

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

 

During June of 2013, we announced that New Vitality, a marketing and distribution company, had begun a test radio campaign to gauge the market acceptance of Nyloxin™. The 60-second ads ran for several weeks on radio stations throughout the United States. As a result of positive testing, New Vitality will be adding Nyloxin™ to their e-commerce website as they continue to advertize the product.

 

We are pursuing international drug registrations in India, Canada, Mexico, Central and South America and Europe. Since European rules for homeopathic drugs are different than the rules in the US, we cannot estimate when this process will be completed. Additionally, we plan to complete two human clinical studies aimed at comparing the ability of Nyloxin™ Extra Strength to replace prescription pain relievers. We originally believed that these studies would begin during the second quarter of 2010; however, these studies have been delayed because of lack of funding. We cannot provide any timeline for these studies until adequate financing is available.

 

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

  

Pet Pain-Away

 

During June of 2013, we announced the launch of our new homeopathic formula for the treatment of chronic pain in companion animals, Pet Pain-Away. Pet Pain-Away is a homeopathic, non-narcotic, non-addictive, over-the-counter pain reliever, primarily aimed at treating moderate to severe chronic pain in companion animals. It is specifically indicated to treat pain from hip dysplasia, arthritis pain, joint pain, and general chronic pain in dogs, cats and horses. We are seeking distributors for the product now as we begin manufacturing for eventual sales in the fourth quarter of 2013.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our consolidated financial statements.  In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, information from third party professionals, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management under different and/or future circumstances.

 

6
 

 

We believe that our critical accounting policies and estimates include our ability to continue as a going concern, revenue recognition, accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, accounting for long-lived assets and accounting for stock based compensation.

  

Ability to Continue as a Going Concern:  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. At June 30, 2013, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Revenue Recognition: In general, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Provision for sales returns will be estimated based on the Company's historical return experience.

 

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

 

Inventory Obsolescence: Inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or market value. We periodically perform an evaluation of inventory for excess, impairments and obsolete items.

 

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

 

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

 

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

Results of Operations – Comparison of Three Months Periods Ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012

 

Net sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 are $22,080 compared to $16,301 for the three months period ended June 30, 2012.  The increase in net sales is primarily attributable to the increase in Nyloxin sales.

 

Cost of sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 is $16,352 compared to $3,356 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012.  Our cost of sales includes the direct costs associated with Nyloxin™  manufacturing. Our gross profit margin for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 is $5,728 or 25.9% compared to $12,945 or 79.4% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in our profit margin is due primarily to the increase in the shipping cost and fulfillment services.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased $168,185 or 85.8% from $195,982 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 to $364,167 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, generally due to the increase in consulting, legal and professional fees.  Our SG&A expenses include office expenses such as rent and utilities, product liability insurance and outside legal and accounting services. Also included in SG&A expenses is stock based compensation expense, which increased $89,141 or 100% from $0 for the three months period ending June 30, 2012 to $89,141 for the three months period ending June 30, 2013.

 

Interest expense increased $3,199 or 8.5%, from $37,747 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 to $40,946 for the comparable 2013 period.  This increase was due to an overall increase in short term indebtedness in the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

 

We carry certain of our debentures and common stock warrants at fair value. For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the liability related to these hybrid instruments fluctuated, resulting in a loss of $212,869 and a gain of $86,519, respectively.  

 

As a result of the foregoing, our net loss increased by $474,884 or 353.7%, from $134,265 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 to $609,149 for the comparable 2013 period.

 

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012

 

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013 are $59,861 compared to $31,235 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  The increase in sales is primarily attributable to an overall increase in sales of Nyloxin™.

 

Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013 is $23,606 compared to $6,366 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  Our cost of sales includes the direct costs associated with Cobroxin® and Nyloxin™ manufacturing. Our gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2013 is $36,255 or 60.6% compared to $24,869 or 79.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in our profit margin is due primarily to increase in the shipping cost and fulfillment services.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased  $107,265 or 12.9% from $833,807 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $726,542 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, generally due to a decrease in advertising, consulting, legal and professional fees.  Our SG&A expenses include office expenses such as rent and utilities, product liability insurance and outside legal and accounting services. Also included in SG&A expenses is stock based compensation expense, which decreased $128,553 or 31.1% from $413,021 for the six months  ended June 30, 2012 to $284,468 for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

Interest expense increased $4,968 or 6.61%, from $75,191 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $80,159 for the comparable 2013 period.  This increase was due to an overall increase in short term indebtedness for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the comparable period in 2012.

 

We carry certain of our debentures and common stock warrants at fair value. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the liability related to these hybrid instruments fluctuated, resulting in a loss of $250,068 and $25,461, respectively.

 

Our net loss decreased by $40,232 or 3.6%, from $1,122,680 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $1,082,448 for the comparable 2013 period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have incurred significant losses from operations and working capital and stockholders’ deficits raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Further, as stated in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2013, we have an accumulated deficit of $38,726,304 and working capital and stockholders’ deficits of $3,768,198 and $3,710,802, respectively.

 

Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon our ability to secure additional financing, increase ownership equity, and attain profitable operations.  In addition, our ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered in established markets and the competitive environment in which we operate. As of June 30, 2013, we do not believe that our source of cash is adequate for the next 12 months of operation and there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Historically, we have relied upon loans from our Chief Executive Officer, Rik Deitsch, to fund our operations.  These loans are unsecured, accrue interest at a rate of 4.0% per annum and are due on demand.   During the six month period ended June 30, 2013, we borrowed an additional $103,664 from Mr. Deitsch and repaid him $2,100. Mr. Deitsch accepted a total of 25,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock as a repayment to discharge $100,000 of his outstanding loan the Company in June 2013. As of June 30, 2013, we owe Mr. Deitsch $620,378. Included in this amount is $337,501 of accrued interest.

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2013 and through August 14, 2013, the Company received additional advances from its President, Rik Deitsch in the amount of $9,613 and repaid $5,600.  The amount owed to Mr. Deitsch at August 15, 2013 was $627,503, which includes $340,613 of accrued interest.

 

As of August 15, 2013, we raised $75,000 through issuance of convertible notes.

 

We expect to utilize the proceeds from these funds and additional capital to manufacture Cobroxin® and Nyloxin™, and reduce our debt level.  We estimate that we will require approximately $200,000 to fund our existing operations and ReceptoPharm’s operations through December 31st.  These costs include: (i) compensation for three (3) full-time employees; (ii) compensation for various consultants who we deem critical to our business; (iii) general office expenses including rent and utilities; (iv) product liability insurance; and (v) outside legal and accounting services.  These costs reflected in (i) – (v) do not include research and development costs or other costs associated with clinical studies.

 

We began generating revenues from the sale of Cobroxin® in the fourth quarter of 2009 and from the sale of Nyloxin™ during the first quarter of 2011.  Our ability to meet our future operating expenses is highly dependent on the amount of such future revenues.  To the extent that future revenues from the sales of Cobroxin® and Nyloxin™ are insufficient to cover our operating expenses we may need to raise additional equity capital, which could result in substantial dilution to existing shareholders.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient equity capital to fund our working capital requirements on terms acceptable to us, or at all.  We may also seek additional loans from our officers and directors; however, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in securing such additional loans.

 

Uncertainties and Trends

 

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

 

¨whether Cobroxin®, Nyloxin™, and Nyloxin™ Extra Strength will be accepted by retail establishments where they are sold;

 

¨because Cobroxin® is a novel approach to the over-the-counter pain market, whether it will be accepted by consumers over conventional over-the-counter pain products;

 

¨whether our international drug applications will be approved and in how many countries;

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

10
 

 

As of June 30, 2013, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and the participation of our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2013, as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”).  Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting discussed in Section 9A of our annual report on Form 10-K, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, at a reasonable assurance level, as of June 30, 2013. In light of this, we performed additional post-closing procedures and analyses in order to prepare the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. As a result of these procedures, we believe our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.  A control system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, with the company have been detected.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who also acted as our Principal Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the second quarter we continued the enhancement of our internal controls. Otherwise, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

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

 

On August 18, 2006, ReceptoPharm was named as a defendant in Patricia Meding, et. al. v. ReceptoPharm, Inc. f/k/a Receptogen, Inc., Index No.: 18247/06 (New York Supreme Court, Queens County). The original proceeding claimed that ReceptoPharm owed the Plaintiffs, including Patricia Meding, a former ReceptoPharm officer and shareholder and several corporations that she claims to own, the sum of $118,928.15 plus interest and counsel fees on a series promissory notes that were allegedly executed in 2001 and 2002. On August 23, 2007, the Queens County New York Supreme Court issued a decision denying Plaintiffs motion for summary judgment in lieu of a complaint, concluding that there were issues of fact concerning the enforceability of the promissory notes. On May 23, 2008, the Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in which they reasserted their original claims and asserted new claims seeking damages of no less than $768,506 on their claims that in or about June 2004 ReceptoPharm breached its fiduciary duty to the Plaintiffs as shareholders of ReceptoPharm by wrongfully canceling certain of their purported ReceptoPharm share certificates. In late 2010, Plaintiffs further amended their complaint alleging that ReceptoPharm violated Plaintiffs contractual and statutory rights by cancelling and additional 1,214,800 share certificates and failing to permit the Plaintiffs to exercise dissenting shareholder rights with respect to those share certificates. The damages associated with the Plaintiff’s claims could rise as the result of increases in our share price as the Receptopharm shares may be convertible into our common shares. The potential exposure may exceed $10,000,000 if the Plaintiffs are successful with all of their claims.

ReceptoPharm believes the suit is without merit and has filed an answer denying the material allegations of the amended complaint and asserted a series of counterclaims against the Plaintiffs alleging claims for declaratory judgment, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion and unjust enrichment as a result of the promissory notes. Plaintiffs have moved for partial summary judgment on their claims regarding the additional 1,214,800 shares, but not on their claims regarding the alleged promissory notes or the 1,750,000 alleged shares. In August of 2011, the Plaintiff's motion was partially granted. In September 2012, ReceptoPharm's attorneys filed a Motion to be removed as counsel. Their motion was denied on April 26, 2013 due to the current Involuntary Bankruptcy action filed against Nutra Pharma. The court has issued a stay in the proceedings pending the outcome of the Bankruptcy action. ReceptoPharm is seeking new counsel to oppose the partial summary judgment. We intend to vigorously contest this matter.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

After June 30, 2011, at LPR's request, the parties mediated the dispute before LPR responded to the Motion To Dismiss. At the mediation, the parties worked out an agreement whereby we would purchase from LPR the components LPR purchased from third parties at an amount slightly less than the principal amount of the suit and on terms acceptable to us. The agreed price was $350,000.00 payable over 7 months in equal $50,000.00 amounts. This agreement was reached by us because it provided tangible value in exchange for the purchase price rather than incurring the expense of litigation, which would likely be substantial and not recouped. While we had counterclaims we could assert, we believe this was a practical resolution. The settlement allowed us to take possession of the components prior to full payment and, in exchange, provided security to LPR in the form of our stock valued at $400,000 at the time of issuance. The stock can only be sold in event of a default of the payment schedule. The litigation was dismissed in August of 2011. We made the August, September and November payments (totaling $150,000) in a timely fashion. We were late for the payment due October 15, 2011 and requested an accommodation from LPR, eventually paying an extra $5,000 towards that payment. At December 31, 2011, we had made total payments of $205,000 with an additional $150,000 owed. In order to allow us to skip the December payment, LPR agreed to another accommodation whereby we would pay both the December and January payment with an additional $10,000 on or before January 16, 2012. We were unable to make this payment and on January 26, 2012 signed an amended payment schedule adding an additional $15,000 for a total of $175,000 owed. Our CEO, Rik Deitsch, added additional collateral stock in a separate company that he held personally. $25,000 was paid in January, with subsequent payments of $30,000 due monthly on the 15th of March through the 15th of July, 2012. We failed to make the March payment and was subsequently called in default of the Agreement. Under the original agreement, if we are in default of the agreement, LPR has the right to sell shares of our free trading stock held in escrow by their attorney and receive cash settlements for a total amount of $450,000 representing the new total cash amount due to LPR by the Company.

 

On June 11, 2012, LPR sold their debt to Southridge Partners, LLP in an agreement to be paid out over time. In August, 2013, LPR cancelled their agreement with Southridge Partners, LLP. We are currently negotiating a settlement with LPR.
