IMPORTANT PREFATORY NOTE
On April 28, 2014, we received a letter from Mr. J. Christopher Jaczko, a lawyer with the Procopio law firm in San Diego who represents Boyd Research, Inc. and related parties. In his letter, Mr. Jaczko notified us that our license to use the international patents for our AMPSA device, pursuant to our license agreement with his clients effective January 1, 2013, was terminated. The ostensible reason given was our failure to make certain unspecified payments due under the license agreement to his clients. We disputed the termination, but believed that the costs involved with litigating the termination of the license was not in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. Therefore, the Company decided to move in a new direction.

THERAPEUTIC SOLUTIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2015
(Unaudited)
These unaudited Financial Statements and Notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes of Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc. as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Note 1 Organization and Presentation Basis
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc. (the Company), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In the opinion of the management of the Company, these interim Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys financial position as of June 30, 2015 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or for any future period.
The consolidated financial statements and notes included herein are presented as required by Form 10-Q, and do not contain certain information included in our audited financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 pursuant to the rules and regulation of the SEC. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, and included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K on file with the SEC.
Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc. (the Company) was organized August 6, 2007 under the name Friendly Auto Dealers, Inc., under the laws of the State of Nevada. In the first quarter of 2011 the Company changed its name from Friendly Auto Dealers, Inc. to Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc., and acquired Splint Decisions, Inc., a California corporation organized September 21, 2010 (Splint). Splint is treated as the accounting acquirer in the accompanying financial statements.
Until April 28, 2014 the Company sold (directly and through distributors and sublicensees), in non-US countries, plastic intraoral devices known as Anterior Midpoint Stop Appliances (AMPSA Products). Our customers were dentists and doctors. The AMPSA Products, which are used for the treatment and prevention of common neurological and temporomandibular disorders including migraine headaches, migraine pain and bruxism.
On April 28, 2014, we received a letter from Mr. J. Christopher Jaczko, a lawyer with the Procopio law firm in San Diego who represents Boyd Research, Inc. and related parties. In his letter, Mr. Jaczko notified us that our license to use the international patents for our AMPSA device, pursuant to our license agreement with his clients effective January 1, 2013, was terminated. The ostensible reason given was our failure to make certain unspecified payments due under the license agreement to his clients. We disputed the termination, but believed that the costs involved with litigating the termination of the New License was not in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. Therefore, the Company moved in a new direction.
Currently the Company is focused on immune modulation for the treatment of several specific diseases. Immune modulation refers to the ability to upregulate (make more active) or downregulate (make less active) ones immune system.

Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
For the Statements of Cash Flows, all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2015 and 2014. Other assets include restricted cash of $10,000 that is used to secure a company credit card.
Inventory
Inventory consists of finished goods, and is stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company records cost of sales using the moving average cost method. There was no excess or obsolete inventory reserve at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Amortization is computed using the straight line method over the term of the agreement.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consisted primarily of intellectual properties such as proprietary nutrasecutal formulations. Intellectual assets are capitalized in accordance with ASC Topic 350 Intangibles Goodwill and Other.
Long-lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $210,000 for intangible assets.
10
Income Taxes
The Company accounts 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 the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
Going Concern
The Companys financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced recurring losses over the past years which have resulted in accumulated deficits of approximately $2,822 thousand and a working capital deficit of approximately $184 thousand at June 30, 2015. These conditions raise uncertainty about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
The Companys ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to secure additional financing, increase sales of its products and attain profitable operations. It is the intent of management to continue to raise additional capital.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure such additional funds or obtain such on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Share Based Expenses
ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation, which codified SFAS 123, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based payments awarded to employees, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights. Such payments may be classified as either equity or liabilities. The Company should determine if a present obligation to settle the share-based payment transaction in cash or other assets exists. A present obligation to settle in cash or other assets exists if: (a) the option to settle by issuing equity instruments lacks commercial substance or (b) the present obligation is implied because of an entitys past practices or stated policies. If a present obligation exists, the transaction should be recognized as a liability; otherwise, the transaction should be recognized as equity. See also Note 6 Equity Transactions.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50 Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, which codified SFAS 123, and the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus in Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction should be determined at the earlier of the performance commitment date or performance completion date. See also Note 6 Equity Transactions.
Recently Implemented Standards
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial statements.
Note 3 Restricted Cash
Other non-current asset is a $10,000 certificate of deposit with an annual interest rate of 0.6%. This certificate matures on June 17, 2017, and is used as collateral for a Company credit card, pursuant to a security agreement dated June 20, 2011.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Description of Business until April 28, 2014
Until April 28, 2014 the Company sold (directly and through distributors and sublicensees), in non-US countries, plastic intraoral devices known as Anterior Midpoint Stop Appliances (AMPSA Products). Our customers were dentists and doctors. The AMPSA Products, which are used for the treatment and prevention of common neurological and temporomandibular disorders including migraine headaches, migraine pain and bruxism.
On April 28, 2014, we received a letter from Mr. J. Christopher Jaczko, a lawyer with the Procopio law firm in San Diego who represents Boyd Research, Inc. and related parties. In his letter, Mr. Jaczko notified us that our license to use the international patents for our AMPSA device, pursuant to our license agreement with his clients effective January 1, 2013, was terminated. The ostensible reason given was our failure to make certain unspecified payments due under the license agreement to his clients. We disputed the termination, but believed that the costs involved with litigating the termination of the New License was not in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. Therefore, the Company decided to move in a new direction.

Principle Products and Services
Clinical Stage Dexosome
TSOI recently licensed in 2016 a Dexosome Clinical Stage Cancer Immunotherapy Product from Gustave Roussy European Cancer Centre. Planning is still underway as to next steps.
Dexosomes are exosome nanoparticles generated by dendritic cells, which have previously been used by investigators at Anosys, Inc., in collaboration with researchers at Duke University, for treatment of cancer patients as part of an FDA-cleared Phase I clinical trial1. The licensed patent was invented by internationally-renowned immunologists Sebastian Amigorena, Doctor at the Curie Institute, and Laurence Zitvogel, Professor at Gustave Roussy. The patent covers means of generating therapeutically-effective dexosomes, which can act as a platform for loading any tumor antigen desired.
In the area of drug development, much of the risk is taking the technology from the lab to the patient. We are fortunate that the current technology has already been utilized in patients under FDA jurisdiction, and has demonstrated safety with signs of efficacy.
19
The in-licensing of the current patent augments previously filed patent applications by TSOI, including one filed in November 2015, covering uses of exosomes to stimulate both innate and adaptive arms of the immune response2. The Company plans to leverage the experience of its newest Board Member, Dr. Thomas Ichim, to lead the Dexosome program back into clinical trials. Dr. Ichim has previously patented the manipulation of exosomes in the area of cancer therapy for alleviation of immune suppression3, as well as being published in the peer-reviewed literature in this area4,5.

Nutraceutical Division (TSOI)
ProJuvenol® is a powerful synergistic blend of complex anti-aging ingredients inspired by nature to help promote cellular rejuvenation and healthy functionality for everyday living, based upon pterostilbene, one of natures unique and intelligent antioxidants/anti-inflammatories. ProJuvenol includes a scientifically valid blend of interactive ingredients with anti-aging and cellular protective properties to help support optimal health and provide the benefits of mental alertness and physical well-being.
Pterostilbene (pronounced tero-STILL-bean) has created a buzz in the world of nutrition research. Scientists discovered this powerful antioxidant several decades ago and have since found that it rivals its cousin resveratrols multi-functional abilities, and may actually exceed its anti-aging and health promoting potential. Found naturally in blueberries, pterostilbene has been shown in emerging experimental studies to exhibit up to 7 times greater bioavailability than resveratrol as well as better metabolic stability. This translates to potentially higher levels of pterostilbene in the blood upon ingestion, and longer lasting effects in the body compared to resveratrol. More simply put, it remains active in your body for a much greater period of time and during this enhanced bio-available period your body has the opportunity to allow it to utilize this powerful antioxidant molecule.
A large body of experimental research has now documented a wide range of potential health effects associated with pterostilbene. In fact, the more researchers study pterostilbene, the greater its human health potential becomes. In addition to being a powerful antioxidant, emerging experimental research suggests this plant compound may also help regulate cell growth, promote fat metabolism, support glucose utilization, influence brain function, and improve the bodys natural detoxification enzymes that are required to help protect cells against potentially damaging compounds from the environment.
ProJuvenol© includes:
Pterostilbene (trans-3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxystilbene) is a natural dietary compound and the primary antioxidant component of blueberries. It has increased bioavailability in comparison to other stilbene compounds, which may enhance its dietary benefit and possibly contribute to a valuable clinical effect. Multiple studies have demonstrated the antioxidant activity of pterostilbene in both in vitro and in vivo models illustrating both preventative and therapeutic benefits. The antioxidant activity of pterostilbene has been implicated in anticarcinogenesis, modulation of neurological disease, anti-inflammation, attenuation of vascular disease, and amelioration of diabetes.
Alpha lipoic acid (ALA), a coenzyme that is essential for producing cellular energy, assists in deactivating cell-damaging free radicals and renewing the bodys antioxidant defense system. ALA supports a healthy liver function and enhanced insulin sensitivities.
Superoxide dismutase (SOD), an essential enzyme found in all living cells, it is a powerful cellular protector which helps break down potentially harmful oxygen molecules in cells, assisting in the prevention of damage to tissues. Green coffee bean extract, which contains antioxidant polyphenols and plant compounds that help support a variety of biological processes including fat and glucose metabolism. Projuvenol uses the only known, patented coated source of Superoxide dismutase, to ensure that your body has the ability to absorb and utilize this ingredient. Uncoated versions of SOD have not been shown to be effective when taken orally.
DMAE, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, an ingredient known to help promote choline production, which is required for healthy neurological and cognitive function. DMAE has been shown to have the ability to scavenge specific types of free radicals, it is also has been shown to assist in improving memory and mood; boosting thinking skills and intelligence; and increasing physical energy, oxygen efficiency, athletic performance, and muscle reflexes.
20
Piperine for bio-enhanced nutrient absorption. Piperine has been clinically tested in the United States. Piperine significantly enhances the bioavailability of various supplement nutrients through increased absorption. We have included this in ProJuvenol because we believe that it significantly increases the absorption of the amazing active ingredients found in ProJuvenol.
Curcumin is an anti-inflammatory molecule in the turmeric root, a relative of ginger.
Patents:
TSOI filed a patent covering the use of its ProJuvenol® product, as well as various pterostilbene compositions, for use in augmenting efficacy of existing immuno-oncology drugs that are currently on the market. The patent is based on the ability of pterostilbene, one of the major ingredients of ProJuvenol®, to reduce oxidative stress produced by cancer cells, which in turn protects the immune system from cancer mediated immune suppression.
Immuno-Oncology, described by Science Magazine as Breakthrough of the Year1 offers the possibility of not only killing tumor cells in a non-toxic manner, but also establishing immunological memory, which patrols the body and destroys recurrent tumor cells. While great progress has been made in developing drugs that stimulate the immune system to recognize and kill tumors, a major pitfall of current approaches is that tumors produce chemicals and oxidative stress that suppresses the immune system, thus limiting efficacy of immune therapies.
Pterostilbene, which is chemically related to resveratrol, has been published to possess anticancer2,3, antioxidant4, and anti-inflammatory activities5. Through the filing of the recent patent, the company is exploring whether its lead product, ProJuvenol®, may be useful as a nutraceutical adjuvant to conventional cancer immunotherapies.
The importance of proper nutrition in the context of immunotherapy cannot be overstated. Studies on one of the original cancer immunotherapies, interleukin-2, demonstrated that efficacy was related to anti-oxidant content in the patients at time of therapy6. Accordingly, we are seeking through the current work to identify whether our currently marketed product, ProJuvenol®, may be utilized as part of an integrative approach to building up the immune response of cancer patients.

In addition, on April 28, 2016 the Company filed a patent application covering the use of ProJuvenol© and its active ingredient pterostilbene for augmentation of stem cell activity. Diseases such as diabetes1, cardiovascular disease2, and neurodegenerative diseases3 are characterized by deficient stem cell activity. The patent covers the stimulation of stem cells that already exist in the patients body, as well as stem cells that are administered therapeutically.
Studies have shown that patients who have higher levels of endogenous stem cell activity have reduced cardiovascular disease risk4 and undergo accelerated neurological recovery after stroke5 as compared to patients with lower numbers of such stem cells.

TSOI markets currently two other nutraceuticals, T-Rx®, a testosterone booster, and Vital® Female.
ProJuvenol® - Is a powerful synergistic blend of complex anti-aging ingredients inspired by nature to help promote cellular rejuvenation and healthy functionality for everyday living. Based upon one of natures unique and intelligent anti- oxidants/anti-inflammatories. | |
T-Rx® - Is specifically designed just for men and is formulated to assist in increasing testosterone levels and keeping them high. The result is a significant increase in testosterone levels, which assist in adding lean muscle mass, bone density, increased energy and the reduction of fat. | |
VITAL® - Is specifically formulated for women and is designed to increase energy, increase bone density, reduce fat and improve muscle tone. Additionally this supplement will also optimize hormone levels, increase libido, and decrease symptoms of stress and anxiety. |
On June 22, 2016 the Company announced the addition of four new consumer products to our nutraceutical division.
The four new products will all be in Liposome formulas. Many orally consumed nutrients are absorbed from 4% to 19%! Those same nutrients in a Liposomal Delivery System are absorbed at a much higher level in the bloodstream. Liposomes have layers that can encapsulate an ingredient and serve to protect the ingredient from the environment as well as act as a slow release mechanism. A liposome is a microscopic, fluid-filled pouch whose walls are made of layers of phospholipids identical in makeup to the phospholipids that make up cell membranes.
Liposomes represent a versatile and advanced nanodelivery system for a wide range of biologically active compounds. Liposomes have been used to improve the therapeutic index of new or established ingredients by modifying their absorption, reducing metabolism, and prolonging biological half-life.
Liposomes can be used to deliver substances to the blood stream and even target cells much more efficiently than normal. The liposomes offer a unique delivery system for nutrients because these microscopic spheres are so tiny that absorption becomes almost perfect.
The four new high absorption formulas will be Liposomal Vitamin-C, CoQ10, Curcumin, and Glutathione, sold in 16oz bottles.
Fetal-Maternal Health
OmniBiome, Inc.
OmniBiome, Inc. (OMNI), a partially-subsidiary of TSI, is focused on therapeutic / Rx approaches to either utilize or intervene with the systemic effects of the vaginal, lactal-duct and oral microbiomes for improving maternal healthcare and resulting birth outcomes. The Officers and Directors of the Company are also officers and Directors of OMNI. As of July 20, 2016 TSI owns approximately 73.75% of the outstanding shares of OMNI.
The Company will focus initially on developing CLIA Dx services for both pre-pregnancy-associated and pregnancy-associated conditions or diseases where there is a substantive link with microbiome dysbiosis (disruption or imbalance), as well as on restoring eubiosis (proper balance).
In parallel OmniBiome will build a database of aggregated patient data that will later inform development of Rx / therapeutic and medical device & drug-device combination approaches for treating the same conditions or diseases.
MicroBiome Targets
Certain microbiome target markets offer immediate revenue-generating business opportunities such as vaginal and lactal-duct microbiome banking & transplants from mother to child in the case of C-section-born babies, babies of non-nursing mothers, and children under 5 years of age receiving broad-spectrum antibiotics
22
OmniBiomes main focus will be on developing Dx / Rx products & services for pregnancy-associated conditions or diseases where there is a documented or substantive putative link with microbiome dysbiosis and resulting inflammatory cascades
In parallel the Company will look to create alliances and/or out-license its Medical Device / Drug Device Combinations patent portfolio.
The Company also plans to in-license microbiome - and pregnancy-related Rx & Dx innovations from universities and research institutes with several having been identified.
The Human Microbiome Link
The following microbiomes combined recapitulate approximately 75 - 80 % of the gut microbiome, hence OmniBiome sees no need to focus on the gut microbiome
The Vaginal Microbiome comprises approximately 300 - 600 species of bacteria. 100s of species are transferred to the newborn child orally as the baby passes thru the birth canal. C-section-born children miss this important microbiome transfer
The Breast Milk Microbiome contains between 200 - 700 species of bacteria and is transferred to the child via nursing. Babies of non-nursing mothers miss this equally important transfer.
The Oral Microbiome diversity spectrum also covers 600 species shared with the baby via kissing and sharing eating utensils with both the mother & the father.

On February 08, 2016 TSOI licensed its exosome patent filed on 11-20-2015 to MolecuVax titled Exosome Mediated Innate and Adaptive Immune Stimulation for Treatment of Cancer as part of a future generation of immune cell derived nanoparticles, as a means of selectively stimulating the bodys own natural defense mechanisms to seek and destroy cancer cells by company collaborators. The patent is focused on a means of manufacturing exosomes that possess high concentrations of proteins found on tumors, which are specifically optimized to stimulate the immune system of cancer patients as a new form of immunotherapy.
This patent was collaboration between Dr. Michael Agadjanyan, Head of the Department of Immunology at the Institute for Molecular Medicine, and Dr. Santosh Kesari, Head of Neuro-Oncology at the John Wayne Cancer Center, both of whom are members of the Scientific Advisory Board of TSOI.
23
Exosomes are one of the means by which immune system cells communicate with each other. In the current patent we disclose means of generating exosomes in the laboratory, which can be utilized as a nanoparticle-based cancer vaccine to stimulate immune response to tumors in patients suffering from cancer.
Immunotherapy of cancer offers the possibility of selectively treating cancer without the side effects of radiation and chemotherapy. The recent FDA approval of immune stimulatory drugs such as checkpoint inhibitors strongly supports the advancement of this natural means of using the bodys own immune system to treat the cancer. Immunotherapy offers possibility to help patients in which chemotherapy and radiotherapy no longer work, without the side effects of these approaches.
On April 11, 2016 the Company announced the signing of an agreement between its subsidiary, MolecuVax, Inc., (MVAX) and the Pan Am Cancer Treatment Center covering production and clinical implementation of a novel cancer immunotherapy based around MVAXs proprietary BORISome (Brother of the Regulator of Imprinted Sites (BORIS)) peptide/exosome technology.
In November of last year, the Company filed a patent on technologies covering novel means of stimulating the immune system to kill cancer using naturally made nanoparticles termed exosomes1, which was subsequently licensed to MVAX2. In contrast to previous exosome-based cancer therapeutic approaches, the strategy being pursued by MVAX involves focusing the immune system to attack the protein BORIS, which is selectively found on cancer stem cells3.
BORIS represents a unique target in the fight against cancer because it is only found on cancer cells and not healthy tissues. Additionally, because it is selectively found on cancer stem cells, we possess the possibility of inducing an immune response that would strike cancer at its roots, which are the cancer stem cells. By leveraging dendritic cell technology to generate BORIS-expressing exosomes in vivo, we believe the current therapeutic approach possesses a possibility of inducing a potent and selective immune response against cancer.
The Pan Am Cancer Treatment Center is a clinical research and treatment facility, which has been offering dendritic cell therapy for treatment of cancer patients. The current collaboration will leverage existing cellular therapy manufacturing expertise to develop, and clinically apply, the BORIS-peptide loaded dendritic cell therapy to patients.
Thomas Ichim, Ph.D, Board Member of TSOI co-authored three of the scientific peer reviewed papers demonstrating efficacy of BORIS-targeting immunotherapy in animal models, some of the papers together with scientists from the National Institutes of Health4,5,6.
The importance of BORIS is difficult to overstate, not only is it a marker that is found on cancer stem cells, but when the protein is blocked from expressing by using gene silencing, we have previously published that cancer cells die7. Accordingly, there is a possibility that it will be difficult for tumors to become resistant to BORIS-based immunotherapies.

On May 09, 2016 the Company announced the signing of an exclusive license agreement between its subsidiary, MolecuVax, Inc., (MVAX) and UniVax, LLC covering composition of matter of a new cancer vaccine that targets a molecule found in cancer stem cells of a variety of types of cancers. The vaccine target, termed CTCFL or Brother of the Regulator of Imprinted Sites (BORIS), was discovered by researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH)1, and has been shown in numerous peer-reviewed studies to be essential for cancer survival and progression2,3,4.
The patent covers vaccines that stimulate the immune system to selectively kill tumor cells that are expressing this universal cancer specific protein. In contrast to other vaccines, our vaccine is targeting BORIS protein that is critical for the growth of histologically different cancers. This possesses important implications in that if a cancer cell mutates to lose expression of the target, then the cancer cell will no longer be cancerous.
The technology licensed positions MolecuVax in an ideal situation given the rapidly expanding interest in cancer immunotherapy clinical trials. The great successes of CAR-T cells and checkpoint inhibitors have already saved many lives and are testimony to the efficacy of this approach to cancer. We aim to utilize the licensed technology to enter clinical trials, in part through our existing collaboration with the Pan Am Cancer Treatment Center5, as well as our planned FDA Investigational New Drug (IND) submission.
24
This vaccine was developed at the Institute for Molecular Medicine in Huntington Beach, California by Michael Agadjanyan, Ph.D. D.Sc., Head of the Cancer Vaccines Laboratory and member of TSIs Scientific Advisory Board, and Anahit Ghochikyan, Ph.D., Head of the Alzheimers Disease Vaccines Laboratory. The vaccine is important because it not only prevents onset of cancer, but can also be used in patients that have cancer, thus it is termed a therapeutic vaccine. Additionally, the vaccine can be used as part of dendritic cell immunotherapy, which the inventors previously published as being extremely effective against breast cancer in animal models6.
Our collaborators have been working on the concept of selectively killing cancer by immunologically targeting BORIS / CTCFL for over a decade. This work is now translated from a scientific hypothesis, to issued US and International patents, and now on the road to commercialization and to patients. Thomas Ichim, Ph.D., Board Member of TSOI has co-authored publications on BORIS / CTCFL with Dr. Agadjanyan and researchers at the NIH on this technology7,8,9.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The Companys business is subject to varying degrees of regulation by a number of government authorities in the United States, including the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The Company will be subject to additional agencies and regulations if it enters the manufacturing business. Various agencies of the state and localities in which we operate and in which our products are sold also regulate our business, such as the California Department of Health Services, Food and Drug Branch. The areas of our business that these and other authorities regulate include, among others:
·
product claims and advertising;
·
product labels;
·
product ingredients; and
·
How we package, distribute, import, export, sell and store our products.
The FDA, in particular, regulates the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, storage, labeling, promotion, distribution and sale of vitamins and other nutritional supplements in the United States, while the FTC regulates marketing and advertising claims. The FDA issued a final rule called Statements Made for Dietary Supplements Concerning the Effect of the Product on the Structure or Function of the Body, which includes regulations requiring companies, their suppliers and manufacturers to meet Good Manufacturing Practices in the preparation, packaging, storage and shipment of their products. Management is committed to meeting or exceeding the standards set by the FDA.
The FDA has also issued regulations governing the labeling and marketing of dietary and nutritional supplement products. They include:
·
the identification of dietary or nutritional supplements and their nutrition and ingredient labeling;
·
requirements related to the wording used for claims about nutrients, health claims, and statements of nutritional support;
·
labeling requirements for dietary or nutritional supplements for which high potency and antioxidant claims are made;
·
notification procedures for statements on dietary and nutritional supplements; and
·
Pre-market notification procedures for new dietary ingredients in nutritional supplements.
The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) revised the existing provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act concerning the composition and labeling of dietary supplements and defined dietary supplements to include vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids and other dietary substances used to supplement diets. DSHEA generally provides a regulatory framework to help ensure safe, quality dietary supplements and the dissemination of accurate information about such products. The FDA is generally prohibited from regulating active ingredients in dietary supplements as drugs unless product claims, such as claims that a product may heal, mitigate, cure or prevent an illness, disease or malady, trigger drug status.
The Company is also subject to a variety of other regulations in the United States, including those relating to taxes, labor and employment, import and export, and intellectual property.
Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with the unaudited financial statements and the notes to the unaudited financial statements included in this quarterly report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014
On April 28, 2014, we received a letter from Mr. J. Christopher Jack, a lawyer with the Procopius law firm in San Diego who represents Boyd Research, Inc. and related parties. In his letter, Mr. Jack notified us that our license to use the international patents for our AMPSA device, pursuant to our license agreement with his clients effective January 1, 2013, was terminated. See Note 7, Discontinued Operation in Notes to the Financial Statements.
Operating expenses for the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $113,586 and $127,468, a decrease of $13,882. Operating expenses for the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $188,466 and $247,774, a decrease of $59,308. This decrease was mainly due to decreased legal expenses.
26
General and Administrative costs increased $7,982, from $12,315 to $20,297, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015, respectively. General and Administrative costs increased $6,355, from $26,791 to $33,146, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015, respectively. This increase was mainly due to increased rent and insurance costs.
Salaries, wages and related costs decreased $1,067, from $74,790 to $73,723 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Salaries, wages and related costs increased $20,748, from $101,418 to $122,166 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015, respectively. This increase for the six months was mainly due to an increase in officers salary accruals.
Selling expenses increased $328, from $0 to $328, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Selling expenses increased $482, from $0 to $482, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015, respectively. This increase was mainly due to increased selling and marketing expenses.
Amortization and depreciation decreased $5,283 from $5,283 to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Amortization and depreciation decreased $10,566 from $10,566 to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015, respectively.
Consulting fees increased $24,933 from $2,567 to $27,500 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015, due to an increase in overall consulting services. Consulting fees decreased $5,537 from $33,870 to $28,333 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015, due to a reduction in overall consulting services.
Legal and professional fees decreased $40,775, from $32,513 to $(8,262) for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015. Legal and professional fees decreased $70,790, from $75,128 to $4,338 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015. This decrease was mainly due to a reduction of overall legal services from 2015 vs 2014.
Net other income/expense decreased $2,691 from $4,171 to $1,480 for the three months ended June 30, 2104 and 2015, respectively. Net other income/expense increased $2,462 from $(780) to $1,682 for the six months ended June 30, 2104 and 2015, respectively. These changes were mainly due to fluctuations in quarterly seminar tuition and related expenses.
Net interest expense decreased $1,599 from $2,895 to $1,296 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015. Net interest expense decreased $2,239 from $5,078 to $2,839 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015. This decrease was mainly due to a reduction is note payables.
Net income from discontinued operation for the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $(8,722) and $65,219, a decrease of $73,941. Net income from discontinued operation for the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $(8,722) and $148,570, a decrease of $157,292. This decrease was primarily due to the final sales of inventory from the notification that our license to use the international patents for our AMPSA device, pursuant to our license agreement, that was terminated on April 28, 2014 and the write off of accounts receivable.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash used in operating activities totaled $68,104 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. We had no material commitments for capital expenditures at June 30, 2015.
As of June 30, 2015, we had $37,290 cash. We had no cash equivalents at the end of the quarter. Clearly, such a cash level is untenable. We believe we will need outside financing to execute our business plan in 2015 and beyond. There is no guarantee we will receive the required financing to complete our business strategies, and it is uncertain whether future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Our auditor has stated in their opinion on our 2014 annual financial statements that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
No disclosure required.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
A.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2015. Based on this evaluation, these officers concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, these disclosure controls and procedures were adequate to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
B. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2015 that materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
