NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business
Nutrafuels is the producer of nutritional supplements that uses micro molecular formulae and a utilization of an oral spray to provide faster and more efficient absorption.
Basis of presentation
The financial statements have been prepared by Nutrafuels, Inc. in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the financial position and operating results for the respective periods.
Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal period, as reported in the Companys most recent annual report on Form 10-K, have been omitted.
NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we have incurred losses from inception, including net losses of $1,317,331 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. In response to these conditions, we may raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, through an offering of debt securities or through borrowings from financial institutions or individuals. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 NOTES PAYABLE
During February 2014, an investor loaned the Company $50,000 with a maturity date of May 1, 2014. The investor also received 50,000 shares of common stock in conjunction with the loan. The proceeds were allocated using relative fair value to the stock and loan as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Relative fair value of stock |
| $ | 25,000 |
|
Relative fair value of note payable |
| $ | 25,000 |
|
The discount on the note, $25,000, will be recognized as additional interest over the life of the note. As of September 30, 2014, the notes discount has been fully amortized.
The note became due on May 1, 2014 and has not been paid in full as of September 30, 2014. An informal extension has been granted by the investor.
NOTE 4 CONVERTIBLE DEBT
On March 26, 2014, the Company borrowed $290,000 under a convertible note agreement with an investor. The note bears an interest rate of 10%, matures on March 26, 2015, and is convertible at $1.00 per share. The investor received warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share with a two year exercise term.
6
We evaluated the warrants for derivative accounting consideration under ASC Topic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entitys own stock. We concluded that the warrants meet the criteria for classification in stockholders' equity. Therefore, derivative accounting is not applicable for the warrants. Accordingly, we allocated the proceeds from the transaction to the debt, stock, and warrants based on their relative fair value. We determined the fair value of the warrants using a Black-Sholes option pricing model with the following inputs:
|
|
|
|
|
Risk-free interest rate |
|
| 0.45 | % |
Dividend yield |
|
| - | % |
Volatility factor |
|
| 145 | % |
Expected life (years) |
|
| 2 |
|
The volatility was determined by referring to the average historical volatility of a peer group of public companies because we do not have a trading history from which to determine historical volatility.
The fair value of the investment was allocated between the note and warrant as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Relative fair value of warrants |
|
| $167,447 |
|
Relative fair value of note payable |
|
| $122,553 |
|
Because the price for recent sales of common stock exceeded the effective conversion price, we also recognized a beneficial conversion feature of $122,553. The total discount on the note, $290,000, will be recognized as additional interest over the life of the note. As of September 30, 2014, the remaining amount of the discount is $221,346.
On June 7, 2013, we entered into a convertible note in the principal amount of 100,000 which bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum. At the option of the investor, the outstanding principal and interest due under the note may be converted into shares of our common stock at the price of $1.00 per share. The note had originally had a due date of June 1, 2014 and was convertible at the most recent price we offered or sold common in an offering registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On September 7, 2013, the note was amended to allow the amounts outstanding to be converted into our common stock at the price of $1.00 per share.
The note became due on June 1, 2014 and has not been paid as of September 30, 2014. Subsequent to September 30, 2014, the note was amended and granted new due date of June 1, 2015.
On August 26, 2013, we entered into a note agreement with an investor with a principal amount of $200,000. The note bears interest at the rate of 15% per annum and is due on August 26, 2014. Under the terms of the note, the investor received 250,000 common shares and 500,000 common stock purchase warrants. The warrants are exercisable at the price of $.75 per share at any time prior to August 26, 2015.
The note became due August 26, 2014 and has not been paid as of September 30, 2014. Subsequent to September 30, 2014, the note was amended and granted new due date of August 26, 2015.
On June 23, 2014, the Company borrowed $30,000 under a convertible note agreement with an investor. The note bears an interest rate of 10%, matures on June 23, 2015, and is convertible at $1.00 per share. Because the market price for our common stock on the date of the note exceeded the notes conversion price, $1.00 per share, we recognized a beneficial conversion feature of $21,600 as a discount on the note. The discount will be recognized as additional interest over the life of the note. As of September 30, 2014, the remaining amount of the discount is $18,382.
7
On August 27, 2014, the Company borrowed $50,000 under a convertible note agreement with an investor. The note bears an interest rate of 10%, matures on January 2 2015, and is convertible at $1.00 per share. The investor also received 50,000 shares of common stock with the issuance of the note.
The fair value of the investment was allocated among the shares, note payable, and beneficial conversion feature:
Relative fair value of shares |
|
| $27,778 |
|
Relative fair value of conversion feature |
|
| $22,222 |
|
Relative fair value of note payable |
|
| $ - |
|
The note is fully discounted in the amount of $50,000 will be amortized over the life of the note. As of September 30, 2014, the remaining balance on the debt discount is $42,622.
We evaluated the conversion features embedded in the notes payable described above for derivative accounting in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging embedded in the modified notes payable for derivative accounting in accordance with the criteria for classification in stockholders' equity. Therefore, derivative accounting is not applicable.
NOTE 5 SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
During April 2014, an investor purchased 500,000 shares for $1.00 per share. The investor also received warrants to purchase 500,000 shares at exercise price of $0.50 per share. The warrants have a one-year term.
During September 2014, an investor purchased 150,000 shares for $1.00 per share. The investor also received warrants to purchase 150,000 shares at exercise price of $0.20 per share. The warrants have a one-year term.
For the three months ended September 30, 2014, there were 10,000 shares of stock issued for services, resulting in stock based compensation expense of $29,314.
NOTE 6 COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES
During January 2014, we were granted a license to market nutritional supplements under the TapouT XT name to retail locations worldwide. Under the license agreement, we are required to pay a royalty fee to Nutra Evolution of 12.5% of net sales. The agreement provides us with an initial test period of four years, until January 31, 2018, to distribute the product. We paid $85,000 in conjunction with the license. At the expiration of this four year period, we may extend the license for three (3) consecutive three (3) year terms. We are required to pay minimum royalties of $400,000 during the first contract year; $750,000 during the second contract year and $1,000,000 each year thereafter.
In late April 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with Sullivan Media Group, a Nevada corporation, to conduct market research in regards to promotion of the NutraFuels brand at a cost of $104,500.
On May 26, 2014, we entered into an agreement with SRC Sales Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (SRC Sales) to be the exclusive distributor of our products to certain retailers (the Retailer Accounts) in the United States and Canada. We agreed to pay 7% of sales derived from any Retailer Account obtained from the efforts of SRC Sales. The agreement has a term of 36 months. We agreed to issue 50,000 restricted shares of our common stock to SRC Sales for each Retailer Account, and 50,000 shares for each order of $500,000. For purposes of the agreement, Retailer Account means a retailer with more than 200 locations. The terms of the Agreement do not apply to any of our prior or existing customers.
NOTE 7 NOTES PAYABLE - RELATED PARTY
As of September 30 2014, the Company is indebted to Neil Catania, vice president, for $305,000. From time to time, Mr. Catania has advanced funds to the Company with no formal note agreement. During 2013, Mr. Catania advanced $405,000 to the Company and the Company repaid $310,000, resulting a net balance due to him of $95,000. The remaining $210,000 relates to two convertible notes payable, which are described below.
8
On November 15, 2012, the Company borrowed $135,000 under a convertible note agreement with Neil Catania, vice president. Under the original terms of the note, it was convertible at the most recent price of shares sold in an offering registered with SEC. The note bears interest at 10% and is due on November 15, 2014. As of December 31, 2012, $160,000 in principal was outstanding. During September 2013, the note was modified to establish a set conversion price of $1.00 per share. Because no registered offering of our common stock has occurred, the notes did not have an effective conversion feature before the modification occurred and thus derivative treatment could not be determined. Additionally, there was no beneficial conversion feature associated with the notes prior to their modification.
Subsequent to September 30, 2014, the note was amended and granted new due date of November 15, 2015.
We evaluated the modification using the criteria set forth in ASC Topic 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments and we determined that the modification was an extinguishment because there was a substantial modification of terms. However, we did not experience a gain or loss on extinguishment because the fair value of the extinguished note was the same as the fair value of the modified note. There was no beneficial conversion feature associated with the modified note because the conversion price equaled or exceeded the cash sales prices of common stock ($.35 per share) that had occurred before the modification.
On February 15, 2013 Mr. Catania lent the Company an additional $50,000. The note is convertible into common stock at a price of $1.00 per share. The note bears interest at 10% and is due on May 15, 2014. The conversion feature was not beneficial at the time of issuance because the conversion price equaled or exceeded the cash sales prices of common stock ($.35 per share) that had occurred before the modification.
The note became due on May 15, 2014 and has not been paid as of September 30, 2014. Subsequent to September 30, 2014, the note was amended and granted new due date of November 15, 2015.
We evaluated the conversion features embedded in the modified November Note and the February Note for derivative accounting in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entitys own stock and concluded that the conversion features meet the criteria for classification in stockholders' equity. Therefore, derivative accounting is not applicable.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
OVERVIEW
NutraFuels, Inc. (NutraFuels, us, we, or our) is the producer of nutritional oral spray supplements that provide faster and more efficient absorption than traditional methods of delivery.
We were founded as NutraFuels, LLC in 2010. We have progressively added the needed equipment to expand our operations to meet the demand of consumption on a national level.
We have continually invested for the long term, adding larger facilities, purchasing necessary equipment, and other application development to expand sales and marketing. This has increased our costs on an absolute basis in the near-term. Many of these investments had and will continue to occur in advance of experiencing any immediate near term benefit.
Upon making significant investments in market research and brand development, the Company plans to start distributing new products. Pending additional capital investment, the Company is aiming to nationally expand into the retail and grocery markets.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenues
We derive our revenues from sales of our products. We recognize our revenues from the point of sale and shipment. For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, and September 30, 2013, our revenues were $5,337 and $192,243, respectively. Our revenues declined during the period ending September 30, 2014 because of significantly lower purchases from wholesale and distribution customers and the loss of one of our primary distributors.
Should we not have sufficient revenues to meet operating costs, we will require additional capital. We have no commitments or assurances that it will ever be successful in obtaining adequate future financing. We have incurred net losses and losses from operations and we expect that we will continue to have negative cash flows as we implement our business plan. There can be no assurance that our continuing efforts to execute our business plan will be successful and that we will be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern. As of September 30, 2014, we did not have sufficient cash to sustain us for the next twelve months and we will require additional capital to continue as a going concern. In the event that future financing does not materialize, we may be unable to pay our obligations as they become due or continue as a going concern, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Costs and Expenses
The Cost of Goods Sold was heavily concentrated in labor and overhead costs.
Advertising costs continued to be some of our largest operational expenses. As 2014 progresses, we are anticipating more marketing expenditures to research, promote, and enhance our brand.
This past quarter the Company also established an inventory valuation allowance of nearly $70,000 to account for expiring product.
The remaining significant expenses related to professional fees associated with our SEC filings and accrued interest as it relates to debt securities issued from current and prior years.
Results of Operations
In comparison to the prior year, sales have decreased significantly by 88%. As of the nine months ending September 30, 2014, weve experienced a decline in repeat business from prior year wholesale and distribution customers and we no longer sold our product to one of our primary distributors.
To address the loss of our primary distributor, we entered into a distribution agreement on May 26, 2014, with SRC Sales Inc., a Massachusetts corporation in the United States and Canada. We agreed to pay 7% of sales derived from any Retailer Account obtained from the efforts of SRC Sales. The agreement has a term of 36 months. We agreed to issue 50,000 restricted shares of our common stock to SRC Sales for each Retailer Account, and 50,000 shares for each order of $500,000. For purposes of the agreement, Retailer Account means a retailer with more than 200 locations. The terms of the Agreement do not apply to any of our prior or existing customers. During the three month period ending September 30, 2014, we did not receive additional sales from the agreement.
Advertising costs have nearly doubled due to marketing research and brand promotion.
Selling, General, and Administrative Costs are significantly lower than the prior year, as theres been relatively no stock compensation issued for services performed by employees or outside parties.
Finally, interest expense is higher due to the issuance of debt securities to finance operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In addition to revenue, our primary source of cash stems from issuance of equity and debt securities. We are dependent upon the proceeds from the offer and sale of securities to fund our operations.

Investing

Our cash inflow from financing related to the issuance of debt and equity securities. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, we received an aggregate of $1,070,000 from the sale of securities and as proceeds from notes payable as follows:
♦ the sale of 150,000 common shares at a price of $1.00 per share, on September 2, 2014,

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We report revenues and expenses using the accrual method of accounting for financial and tax reporting purposes.
USE OF ESTIMATES
Management uses estimates and assumption in preparing these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.
INCOME TAXES
We account for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes which codified SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes and FIN 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that we will not realize tax assets through future operations.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires us to disclose, when reasonably attainable, the fair market values of our assets and liabilities, which are deemed to be financial instruments. Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash.
PER SHARE INFORMATION
We compute net loss per share accordance with FASB ASC 205 Earnings per Share. FASB ASC 205 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement.
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS excludes all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
12
STOCK OPTION GRANTS
We have not granted any stock options to our officers and directors since our inception. Upon the further development of our business, we will likely grant options to directors and officers consistent with industry standards for nutritional and dietary supplement companies.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Director, of the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Companys CEO and CFO concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including the Companys CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure for the reasons discussed below.
Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors. In addition, the Company currently has limited accounting personnel. Management plans to take action and implementing improvements to our controls and procedures when our financial position permits.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting during the three month period ending September 30, 2014, or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. We are not involved in any pending legal proceeding or litigation and, to the best of our knowledge, no governmental authority is contemplating any proceeding to which we are a party or to which any of our properties is subject, which would reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.
