ITEM 1 - BUSINESS.
Corporate History/Overview
Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc. (TSI or 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.
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.
Activating ones immune system is now an accepted method to treat certain cancers, reduce recovery time from viral or bacterial infections and to prevent illness. Additionally, inhibiting ones immune system is vital for reducing inflammation, autoimmune disorders and allergic reactions.
TSI plans to develop a range of immune-modulatory agents to target certain cancers, improve maternal and fetal health, fight periodontal disease, and for daily health.
Nutraceutical Division TSI has been producing high quality nutraceuticals. Its flagship product, ProJuvenol®, is a proprietary mixture containing pterostilbene one of the most potent antioxidants known. TSI filed a patent application for ProJuvenol® on 07-08-2015 titled: Augmentation of Oncology Immunotherapies by Pterostilbene Containing Compositions. In addition we recently introduced a line of oncologist friendly nutraceuticals in liposome formula. These include CoQ10, Curcumin, Glutathione, and Vitamin-C in 16oz bottles.
OmniBiome, Inc., (Omni) - is a majority-owned subsidiary of TSI, incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 20, 2015. As of December 31, 2016 and June 7, 2017, TSI owns approximately 73.75% of the outstanding shares of OmniBiome. OMNI intends to focus on the use of probiotics to prevent pre-term labor and on using probiotics to reverse periodontal disease. Mr. Dixon and Mr. Berg, of the Company, are also officers and Directors of OMNI. As of June 7, 2017 formal operations have not commenced.
Emvolio, Inc. (EMVO) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TSI, incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 03, 2016. EMVO intends to focus on developing products that can be used together to attack cancer as different levels, as well as be used alone or in combination with existing therapies. Mr. Dixon and Mr. Berg, and Dr. Ichim, of the Company, are also officers and officers and/or directors of EMVO. As of June 7, 2017, formal operations have not commenced.
SandBox Dental Labs, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TSI, incorporated in the state of Delaware on December 2, 2016, consisting of a dental laboratory to manufacture and fill prescriptions from dentists who will use our proprietary Sleep Appliance to treat their patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. As of June 7, 2017, formal operations have not commenced.
TSI has experienced recurring losses over the past years which have resulted in accumulated deficits of approximately $4.3 million and a working capital deficit of approximately $612 thousand at December 31, 2016. These conditions raise significant doubt 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 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
CURRENT BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
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.
Activating ones immune system is now an accepted method to treat certain cancers, reduce recovery time from viral or bacterial infections and to prevent illness. Additionally, inhibiting ones immune system is vital for reducing inflammation, autoimmune disorders and allergic reactions.
TSI is developing a range of immune-modulatory agents to target certain cancers, improve maternal and fetal health, fight periodontal disease, and for daily health. The following outlines our relationships and divisions to focus on each of these programs:

Nutraceutical Division TSI has been producing high quality nutraceuticals. Its flagship product, ProJuvenol®, is a proprietary mixture containing pterostilbene one of the most potent antioxidants known. TSOI filed a patent application for ProJuvenol® on 07-08-2015 titled: Augmentation of Oncology Immunotherapies by Pterostilbene Containing Compositions. On April 28, 2016 the Company announced the filing of a patent application covering the use of ProJuvenol© and its active ingredient pterostilbene for augmentation of stem cell activity. In addition we recently launched 4 new products in Liposomal formulation. They are CoQ10, Curcumin, Glutathione, and Vitamin-C in 16oz bottles.
OmniBiome, Inc., (OMNI) - is a majority-owned subsidiary of TSI, incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 20, 2015, where the intellectual property surrounding probiotics is housed.
Emvolio, Inc., (EMVO) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TSI, incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 03, 2016, where the intellectual property surrounding immune-oncology is housed.
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 nature's 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 resveratrol's 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 body's natural detoxification enzymes that are required to help protect cells against potentially damaging compounds from the environment.
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 Year' 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 anticancer, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. 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 therapy. 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 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative diseases 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.
6
Studies have shown that patients who have higher levels of endogenous stem cell activity have reduced cardiovascular disease risk and undergo accelerated neurological recovery after stroke as compared to patients with lower numbers of such stem cells.
TSOI markets currently several other nutraceuticals, they include T-Rx®, a testosterone booster, and Vital® Female an estrogen enhancer, Liposomal CoQ10, Curcumin, and Vitamin-C, all powerful antioxidants.
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 nature's 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. | |
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a substance similar to a vitamin. It is found in every cell of the body. Your body makes CoQ10, and your cells use it to produce energy your body needs for cell growth and maintenance. It also functions as an antioxidant, which protects the body from damage caused by harmful molecules. | |
Curcumin is an anti-inflammatory molecule in the turmeric root, a relative of ginger. The properties of curcumin can best be summarized as protective of the integrity of bio molecules in the body by being both a fabulous antioxidant and anti-inflammatory all rolled up in one. | |
Glutathione is one of the most powerful antioxidants that the body produces and is used to bind and remove toxins, including heavy metals such as mercury and lead from the body. Levels may drop as result of oxidative stress due to disease, drugs, aging, toxic chemicals, inflammation and stress. Adequate levels of glutathione are necessary to provide important antioxidant protection. | |
Vitamin-C is absorbed at approximately 19%, the balance remains in the gastrointestinal tract to attract water and loosen the bowels. Liposomalized vitamin C is absorbed much more efficiently than traditional delivery methods. A huge advance in both efficiency and effectiveness of supplemental nutrients. |
On June 22, 2016 the Company announced the addition of four new consumer products to our nutraceutical division.
The four new products are 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 are Liposomal Vitamin-C, CoQ10, Curcumin, and Glutathione, sold in 16oz bottles.

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 pacK/Age, distribute, import, export, sell and store our products.
The FDA, in particular, regulates the formulation, manufacturing, pacK/Aging, 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, pacK/Aging, 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.

EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 2016, we had three full-time employees, all non-union. We believe that our relations with our employees are good.
COMPETITION
The bio-technology, bio-pharma, and nutraceutical industries are subject to rapid technological change. Competition from domestic and foreign companies, large pharmaceutical companies and other interested businesses are intense and expected to increase. A number of companies with significant more resources are pursuing the development of pharmaceuticals, biologics, and nutraceuticals in our targeted areas.
ITEM 1A - RISK FACTORS
As a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide a statement of risk factors. However, we believe this information may be valuable to our shareholders for this filing. We reserve the right to not provide risk factors in our future filings. Our primary risk factors and other considerations include:
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements concerning our future programs, expenses, revenue, liquidity and cash needs as well as our plans and strategies. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and we assume no obligation to update this information, except as required by applicable laws and regulations. Numerous factors could cause actual results to differ significantly from the results described in these forward-looking statements, including the following risk factors.
Internal Control
Our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. Material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and could lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.
Our management concluded that as of December 31, 2016 our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, and that material weaknesses existed in the following areas as of December 31, 2016:
(1)
we do not employ full time in-house personnel with the technical knowledge to identify and address the proper accounting for certain complex or non-routine transactions. With respect to material, complex and non-routine transactions, management has and will continue to seek guidance from third-party experts and/or consultants to gain a thorough understanding of these transactions;
(2)
we have inadequate segregation of duties consistent with the control objectives including but not limited to the disbursement process, transaction or account changes, and the performance of account reconciliations and approval ;
(3)
we have ineffective controls over the period end financial disclosure and reporting process caused by insufficient accounting staff; and
Our liquidity and capital resources are very limited.
The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 includes a going concern explanatory paragraph in which they state that based on current and accumulated losses and negative cash flows from operations, there is a substantial doubt regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
Our ability to fund operating activities is also dependent upon our ability to access external sources of financing and our ability to effectively manage our expenses in relation to revenues. Our ability to fund working capital and anticipated capital expenditures will depend on our future performance, which is subject to general economic conditions specific to the health, supplements and nutrition products industries, consumer demand for our products, competition and other factors that are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that our operations and access to external sources of financing will continue to provide resources sufficient to satisfy our liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business.
10
We will require significant additional external financing to implement our business plan.
We will require external financing to sustain our operations, support our expansion, achieve or maintain profitability, or, should we become subject to unforeseen events or circumstances, continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure any such external financing, or, if we are able to secure such external financing, that it will be on terms favorable, or even acceptable, to us. Any inability to achieve or sustain profitability or otherwise secure external financing would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations, raising substantial doubts as to our ability to continue as a going concern, and we may ultimately be forced to seek protection from creditors under the bankruptcy laws or cease operations, which may result in a substantial or complete loss of invested capital.
We may not be able to effectively manage our potential growth and the execution of our business plan.
Our potential growth and the execution of our business plan together are likely to place significant strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources. To effectively manage our potential growth and execute our business plan, we will need to, among other things:
·
retain additional personnel across several departments in the Company;
·
develop strong customer loyalty for new products in a crowded competitive marketplace;
·
continue to establish and continue to increase awareness of our brands;
·
price our products and services at points which will allow us to maximize sales while at the same time maximizing gross profit margins;
·
establish, maintain, expand and manage multiple relationships with various vendors, strategic partners, licensees and other third parties, including suppliers of the products we sell on our website and elsewhere, warehousing distributors, shipping companies and others;
·
rapidly respond to competitive developments, particularly when new high-demand products become available;
·
build an operations structure to support our business and provide efficient and effective customer service and support;
·
expand our IT infrastructure to respond to increasing customer traffic to our website, demand for content from site users and to manage growing e-commerce transactions;
·
establish and maintain effective financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures;
·
control our expenses;
·
provide competitive employee salaries and benefit packages; and,
·
avoid lawsuits and other adverse claims.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to accomplish any or all of the above goals. If we prove unable to effectively execute our business plan or manage our growth, it is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, including liquidity and profitability, and our results of operations.
If our proposed product sales model does not successfully operate at a profit our growth strategy may be impeded.
To effectively expand and meet our growth objectives our products sales model must be executed upon in a profitable manner. Profitability is dependent upon a variety of factors, some beyond our control, including, but not limited to the amount of traffic we can consistently attract to our brand, to retail sales in brick and mortar retailers, to our website, and our ability to stock or otherwise make available products that our customers purchase, our ability to stock or otherwise make available the best new products as they enter the market, our ability to provide consistent and superior customer service, the general economic conditions, particularly in the U.S., that could impact the amount of money customers spend collectively on the products we sell, and/or that could reduce the amount of money our average customer spends, and/or could reduce the number or frequency of repeat orders for products, and/or could result in customers finding products in other venues if they can find those products for a lower price. Other factors that could impact our ability to execute on our business model in a profitable manner include, but are not limited to, competition in our markets, recruiting, training and retaining qualified personnel and management, maintenance of required local, state and federal governmental approvals and permits, costs associated with principal component products and supplies, delivery shortages or interruptions, consumer trends, our ability to finance operations externally, changes in supply or prices of the products we sell and disruptions or business failures among our product suppliers, distributors, warehouses or shippers. Any failure to operate in a profitable manner could hurt our ability to meet our growth objectives by attracting licensees, and our business, financial condition, including liquidity and profitability, and our results of operations would be negatively affected.
11
We face significant competition for our products.
The markets in which we operate are intensely competitive, continually evolving and, in some cases, subject to rapid change. Our competitors include:
·
traditional and well established companies with recognized and well patronized brands in the nutritional supplements and health products industry segment;
·
entrenched nutritional supplements and health products companies with well known customer on-line services and portals and other high-traffic web sites that provide sales access to healthcare and nutritional supplements and related products; and
·
companies that focus on providing on-line and/or off-line healthcare related content, including some that promote competitor brands.
Many of our competitors have greater financial, technical, product development, marketing and other resources than we do. These companies may be better known than we are and have more customers than we do. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against these companies or any alliances they have formed or may form. If we are unable to compete with one or more of our competitors, our growth strategy may be impeded, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition, including liquidity and profitability, and our results of operations.
Government regulation could adversely affect our business.
Our products and their associated component ingredients are subject to existing and potential government regulation. Our failure, or the failure of our business partners or third party providers, to accurately anticipate the application of laws and regulations affecting our products and the manner in which we deliver them, or any failure to comply, could create liability for us, result in adverse publicity, or negatively affect our business. In addition, new laws and regulations, or new interpretations of existing laws and regulations, may be adopted with respect to consumer protection and other issues, including pricing, products liability, copyrights and patents, distribution and characteristics and quality of products and services. We cannot predict whether these laws or regulations will change or how such changes will affect our business. Any of this government regulation could impact our growth strategy, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition, including liquidity and profitability, and our results of operations.
Third parties may claim that we are infringing their intellectual property, and we could suffer significant litigation or licensing expense or be prevented from providing certain services, and which may otherwise harm our business.
We could be subject to claims that we are misappropriating or infringing intellectual property, trade secrets or other proprietary rights of others. These claims, even if not meritorious, could be expensive to defend and divert managements attention from our operations. If we become liable to third parties for infringing these rights, we could be required to pay substantial damage awards and to develop non-infringing products, obtain a license or cease selling the products that use or contain the infringing intellectual property. We may be unable to develop non-infringing products or obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any claims against our company for infringement could impede our growth strategy, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition, including liquidity and profitability, and our results of operations.
We may be subject to claims brought against us as a result of product associated content we provide.
Consumers are reasonably expected to access health-related information regarding our products through our on-line web site. If our content, or content we obtain from third parties, contains inaccuracies, it is possible that consumers or others may sue us for various causes of action. Although our planned web site contains terms and conditions, including disclaimers of liability, that are intended to reduce or eliminate our liability, the law governing the validity and enforceability of on-line agreements with consumers that provide the terms and conditions for use of our public or private portals are unenforceable. A finding by a court that these agreements are invalid and that we are subject to liability could harm our business and require costly changes to our business. We have planned editorial procedures in place to provide quality control of the information that we publish or provide. However, we cannot assure you that our editorial and other quality control procedures will be sufficient to ensure that there are no errors or omissions in particular content. Even if potential claims do not result in liability to us, the fact that we would need to investigate and defend against these claims could be expensive and time consuming and could divert managements attention away from our operations. In addition, our business is in part based on establishing a reputation amongst consumers that our portals as trustworthy and dependable sources of healthcare information. Allegations of impropriety or inaccuracy, even if unfounded, could therefore harm our reputation and business, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition, including liquidity and profitability, and our results of operations.
12
Changes in commodity and other operating costs or supply chain and business disruptions could adversely affect our results of operations.
Changes in product costs are a part of our business; any increase in the prices that suppliers charge for their products could adversely affect our operating results. We remain susceptible to increases in prices as a result of factors beyond our control, such as general economic conditions, seasonal fluctuations, weather conditions, demand, safety concerns, product recalls, labor disputes and government regulations. We rely on third-party distribution companies to deliver ingredients to our manufacturers and ultimately our products to customers. Interruption of distribution services due to financial distress or other issues could adversely affect our operations.
We face substantial competition in attracting and retaining qualified senior management and key personnel and may be unable to develop and grow our business if we cannot attract and retain such senior management and key personnel.
As an early stage company, our ability to develop and grow our business, to a large extent, depends upon our ability to attract, hire and retain highly qualified and knowledgeable senior management and key personnel who possess the skills and experience necessary to satisfy our business needs. Our ability to attract and retain such senior management and key personnel will depend on numerous factors, including our ability to offer salaries, benefits and professional growth opportunities that are comparable with and competitive to those offered by more established companies operating in our marketplace. We may be required to invest significant time and resources in attracting and retaining additional senior management and key personnel as needed. Moreover, many of the companies with which we will compete for any such individuals have greater financial and other resources, affording them the ability to undertake more extensive and aggressive hiring campaigns, than we can. The normal running of our operations may be interrupted, and our financial condition and results of operations negatively affected, as a result of any inability on our part to attract or retain the services of qualified and experienced senior management and key personnel, or should our prospective key personnel refuse to serve, or, once appointed, leave prior to a suitable replacement being found.
Risks Associated With Our Securities
Because there is currently a limited public trading market for our common stock, investor may not be able to resell stock.
Our stock is now traded in OTC Markets under the stock symbol TSOI, which results in a very illiquid and limited market for our common stock.
There is currently no liquid trading market for our common stock and we cannot ensure that one will ever develop or be sustained.
The trading market for our common stock is currently not liquid. We cannot predict how liquid the market for our common stock might become. Our common stock is quoted in OTC Markets under the symbol TSOI.
Our common stock may be deemed a penny stock, which would make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.
Our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules adopted under the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $4.00 per share, other than companies that have had average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years or that have tangible net worth of at least $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than established customers complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities and investors may find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.
Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
If our stockholders have the right to sell substantial amounts of common stock in the public market, e.g. upon the expiration of any statutory holding period under Rule 144, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an overhang and in anticipation of which the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future, at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate, more difficult.
13
The elimination of monetary liability against our directors and officers under the Companys Articles of Incorporation and Nevada law, and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees, may result in substantial expenditures by the Company.
Article 6 of our Articles of Incorporation exculpates our directors and officers from certain monetary liabilities. Article 7 of our Articles of Incorporation provides that we shall indemnify all directors (and all persons serving at our request as a director or officer of another corporation) to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.
Further pursuant to Article 7, the expenses of the indemnified person incurred in defending a civil suit or proceeding must be paid by us as incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding under receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified person to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by us.
The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in us incurring substantial expenditures, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage us from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders.
Public company compliance may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers and directors.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related rules implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public entity, these rules and regulations increase compliance costs and make certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public entity, these rules and regulations also make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve as directors or as executive officers.
We do not plan to pay any cash or stock dividends in the foreseeable future.
The payment of dividends upon our capital stock is solely within the discretion of our future board of directors and is dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions contained in our future financing instruments and any other factors our board of directors may deem relevant. We have never declared or paid any cash or stock dividends on our capital stock and we currently anticipate that we will retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business and, as such, do not intend on paying any cash or stock dividends in the foreseeable future.
ITEM 1B - UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None
ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES.
We do not own any real-estate property or manufacturing equipment. Our business is conducted in approximately 1,300 square feet of rented offices and warehouse space located at 4093 Oceanside Blvd., Suite B, Oceanside, CA 92056.
ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time to time, claims are made against us in the ordinary course of business, which could result in litigation. Claims and associated litigation are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur, such as monetary damages, fines, penalties or injunctions prohibiting us from selling one or more products or engaging in other activities. The occurrence of an unfavorable outcome in any specific period could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for that period or future periods.
However, as of the date of this report, management believes the outcome of currently identified potential claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 4 - MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES.
No disclosure required.

PART II
ITEM 5 - MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
Our stock is now traded in OTC Markets under the stock symbol TSOI, which results in a very illiquid and limited market for our common stock. As of the date of Annual Report on Form 10-K there are approximately 164 stockholders of record of our common stock.
The following table sets forth the quarterly high and low closing sales prices for our common stock from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2016.
Dividends
We did not declare or pay dividends during 2015 to 2016.

ITEM 6 - SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.
Not required for a smaller reporting company.
ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Overview
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.
Activating ones immune system is now an accepted method to cure certain cancers, reduce recovery time from viral or bacterial infections and to prevent illness. Additionally, inhibiting ones immune system is vital for reducing inflammation, autoimmune disorders and allergic reactions.
Nutraceutical Division TSI has been producing high quality nutraceuticals. Its flagship product, ProJuvenol®, is a proprietary mixture containing pterostilbene one of the most potent antioxidants known. TSI filed a patent application for ProJuvenol® on 07-08-2015 titled: Augmentation of Oncology Immunotherapies by Pterostilbene Containing Compositions. In addition we recently introduced a line of oncologist friendly nutraceuticals in liposome formula. These include CoQ10, Curcumin, Glutathione, and Vitamin-C in 16oz bottles.
We had a net loss of approximately $1.06 million in 2016 compared to a net loss of approximately $0.59 million in 2015.
Net sales increased $3,098, from $1,911 to $5,009, for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This increase was mainly due to the initial launch of the Companys new nutraceutical line of products.
Cost of goods sold decreased $1,587, from $3,193 to $1,606, for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This decrease was mainly due to increased costs related to the initial launch of the Companys new nutraceutical line of products.
Operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were approximately $1.05 million and $0.57 million, respectively, an increase of $0.48 million. This increase was mainly due a combination of increased general and administrative expenses, increased salaries, wages and related costs, an increase in consulting fees, and an increase in legal and accounting fees.
General and administrative expenses increased approximately $51 thousand, from $69 thousand to $121 thousand, for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. This increase was mainly due to an increase in bad debt expenses during the year.
Salaries, wages and related expenses increased approximately $89 thousand, from $266 thousand to $355 thousand, for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. This increase was mainly due to an increase in officers salaries.
Selling expenses decreased approximately $2.4 thousand, from $3.9 thousand to $1.5 thousand, for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. This decrease was mainly due to increased selling and marketing expenses related to the Companys new product in 2015.
Consulting fees increased approximately $170 thousand from $186 thousand to $356 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively, due to an increase in overall consulting services during 2016.
Legal and professional fees increased approximately $161 thousand, from $40 thousand to $201 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively, due to an increase in overall accounting, patent and general counsel services.
Research and Development costs increased approximately $11 thousand, from $0 to $11 thousand, for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. This increase was mainly due to research and development expenses related to the Companys new products in 2016.
17
Net interest expense increased approximately $14 thousand from $6 thousand to $20 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. These increases were mainly due to increased debt balances.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have experienced recurring losses over the past years which have resulted in accumulated deficits of approximately $4.3 million and a working capital deficit of approximately $612 thousand at December 31, 2016. These conditions raise significant doubt 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.
As of December 31, 2016, our cash and cash equivalents were $21,910 compared to $2,183 at December 31, 2015. Our current cash reserves are not adequate for our needs. Cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $385.7 thousand, compared to $372.1 thousand for the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily due to an increased net loss, decreased prepaid expenses and other current assets, and increased accounts payable and notes payable-related parties. For the year ended December 31, 2016 net cash provided in financing activities was $405.5 thousand, compared to $371.3 thousand for the same period in 2015. The increase was mainly due an increase in the issuance of common stock and a decrease in proceeds from notes payable-related parties. At December 31, 2016, we had negative working capital of $611.6 thousand, compared to negative working capital of $241.5 at December 31, 2015. This increase was mainly due to an overall increase in current liabilities. The Company plans to continue to reduce costs and seek additional funding for operations.
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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.
We currently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 9A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
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 Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed , summarized and reported , within the time periods specified in the SEC'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 Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
18
At the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation the CEO and the CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a- 15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by a company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. In making our assessment, we used the framework and criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") (2013) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on that assessment, our management has identified certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
Our management concluded that as of December 31, 2016 our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, and that material weaknesses existed in the following areas as of December 31, 2016:
(1)
We do not employ full time in-house personnel with the technical knowledge to identify the proper accounting for certain complex or non-routine transactions. With respect to material, complex and non-routine transactions, management has and will continue to seek guidance from third-party experts and/or consultants to gain a thorough understanding of these transactions;
(2)
We have inadequate segregation of duties consistent with the control objectives including but not limited to the disbursement process, transaction or account changes, and the performance of account reconciliations and approval ;
(3)
We have ineffective controls over the period end financial disclosure and reporting process caused by insufficient accounting staff; and
19
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No substantial changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except that we have increased our use of external accounting services, adopted policies to improve timely reviews by management and coordination with accounting consultants, and engaged corporate and securities legal counsel with better capabilities than our previous provider's.

Information with Respect to Our Board of Directors
The following is a brief description of the structure and certain functions of our Board of Directors. Each of the current directors is serving until his respective successor is duly elected, subject to earlier resignation. We do not have standing audit, compensation or nominating committees of our Board of Directors. However, the full Board of Directors performs all of the functions of a standing audit committee, compensation committee and nominating committee.
Audit Committee Related Function
We do not have a separately designated standing audit committee in place. Our full Board of Directors currently serves in that capacity. This is due to the small number of members of our Board of Directors, the small number of executive officers involved with our company, and the fact that we operate with few employees. Our Board of Directors will continue to evaluate, from time to time, whether a separately designated standing audit committee should be put in place. We do not have an audit committee charter.
The Board of Directors reviews with management and the Company's independent public accountants the Company's financial statements, the accounting principles applied in their preparation, the scope of the audit, any comments made by the independent accountants upon the financial condition of the Company and its accounting controls and procedures and such other matters as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. Because our common stock is traded on the OTC Markets Pink Sheet, we are not subject to the listing requirements of any securities exchange regarding audit committee related matters.
The Board of Directors consisted of two directors: Mr. Dixon and Mr. Berg, until January 22, 2016 when Thomas E. Ichim was elected to the Board of Directors. Because we do not have an audit committee at all, we disclose that we do not have any "audit committee financial expert" serving on an audit committee.
Compensation Committee Related Function
We do not currently have a standing compensation committee, and do not have a compensation committee charter. The full Board of Directors currently has the responsibility of reviewing and establishing compensation for executive officers and making policy decisions concerning salaries and incentive compensation for executive officers of the Company.
The Company's executive compensation program is administered by the Board of Directors, which determines the compensation of the Chief/Executive Officer/President and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. In reviewing the compensation of the individual executive officers, the Board of Directors considers the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer, other market information and current market conditions, as well as any existing employment agreements with them.
21
Nominating Committee Related Function
We do not currently have a standing nominating committee. We have not adopted procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to serve on our board of directors.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, during 2016 and 2015 the Company incurred a net loss and generated negative cash flows from operating activities and as of December 31, 2016 had an accumulated deficit of approximately $4.3 million. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Companys recurring losses over past years and working capital deficits raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

THERAPEUTIC SOLUTIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 Nature of Business
Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc. (TSI or 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.
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.
Activating ones immune system is now an accepted method to treat certain cancers, reduce recovery time from viral or bacterial infections and to prevent illness. Additionally, inhibiting ones immune system is vital for reducing inflammation, autoimmune disorders and allergic reactions.
Nutraceutical Division TSI has been producing high quality nutraceuticals. Its flagship product, ProJuvenol®, is a proprietary mixture containing pterostilbene one of the most potent antioxidants known. TSI filed a patent application for ProJuvenol® on 07-08-2015 titled: Augmentation of Oncology Immunotherapies by Pterostilbene Containing Compositions. In addition we recently introduced a line of oncologist friendly nutraceuticals in liposome formula. These include CoQ10, Curcumin, Glutathione, and Vitamin-C in 16oz bottles.
TSI has experienced recurring losses over the past years which have resulted in accumulated deficits of approximately $4,273 thousand and a working capital deficit of approximately $612 thousand. These conditions raise significant doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statement issuance date. 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 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
Estimates were made relating to valuation allowances, impairment of assets, share-based compensation expense and accruals. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss for the periods reported was comprised solely of the Companys net loss.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share when their effect is anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, common stock equivalents were not material.
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 nutraceutical formulations. Intellectual assets are capitalized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 350 Intangibles Goodwill and Other.
F-7
THERAPEUTIC SOLUTIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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.
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.
Stock-Based Compensation
Compensation expense for stock issued to employees is determined as the fair value of consideration or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets and eliminates certain real estate-specific provisions. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019 and will be adopted on a modified retrospective transition basis for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The new standard requires management to assess, at each annual and interim reporting period, an entitys ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued and to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2016. Based on its adoption of ASU 2014-15, management determined that there is substantial doubt regarding the companys ability to continue as a growing concern within one year after the issuance of the financial statements (see Note 1).
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The new standard is based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018 and allows for full retrospective or a modified retrospective adoption approach. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations
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.

THERAPEUTIC SOLUTIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The valuation allowance has been established to offset the Companys net deferred tax assets, as realization of such assets is not considered to be more likely than not due to Companys history of losses and uncertainties regarding the Companys ability to generate future taxable income sufficient to realize the benefit of these deferred tax assets.
Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), annual use of the Companys NOL carryforwards may be limited in the event a cumulative change in ownership of 50% of certain shareholders occurs within a three year period. An ownership change may limit the amount of NOL carryforwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax. In general, an ownership change as defined by Section 382 of the Code results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50 percentage points of the outstanding stock of a company by certain shareholders.
As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not anticipate a significant increase in the unrecognized tax benefits over the next 12 months. The Companys policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income matters as a component of the income tax provision. As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company did not have any tax related accrued interest and penalties on its balance sheet or on its statement of operations.
Note 9 Legal Proceedings
From time to time, claims are made against us in the ordinary course of business, which could result in litigation. Claims and associated litigation are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur, such as monetary damages, fines, penalties or injunctions prohibiting us from selling one or more products or engaging in other activities. The occurrence of an unfavorable outcome in any specific period could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for that period or future periods.
However, as of the date of this report, management believes the outcome of currently identified potential claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
