NUTRA PHARMA CORP.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2005
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2004, and for the two years then ended, including notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB.
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Nutra Pharma and its subsidiary ReceptoPharm, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”). In addition, the Company consolidated Nanologix, Inc. during the period from January 1, 2004 through June 30, 2004 (see Note 3). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Income (Loss) per Share
The Company calculates net income (loss) per share as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 128, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share, is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings(loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During periods in which the Company incurs losses common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered, as their effect would be anti dilutive.
2. BASIS OF REPORTING
The Company’s financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,125,181. At September 30, 2005, the Company had negative working capital of $473,340 and an accumulated deficit of $15,485,982.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to secure additional financing, increase ownership equity and attain profitable operations. In addition, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered in established markets and the competitive environment in which the Company operates.
The Company is pursuing financing for its operations and seeking additional investments. In addition, the Company is seeking to establish a revenue base. Failure to secure such financing or to raise additional equity capital and to establish a revenue base may result in the Company depleting its available funds and not being able to pay its obligations.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
3. NANOLOGIX, INC. (FORMERLY INFECTECH, INC.)
On September 19, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement (“Acquisition Agreement”) to acquire up to 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Nanologix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Nanologix”). Nanologix is a development stage company based in Sharon, Pennsylvania, which is engaged in the development of diagnostic test kits used for the rapid identification of infectious human and animal diseases. Nanologix owns patented technologies, which allow for the rapid detection of disease-causing pathogens. Nanologix also owns a patented technology designed for use in the bioremediation of contaminated soil and water.
The Acquisition Agreement provided for the acquisition by the Company of up to 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Nanologix, through an exchange of one (1) share of the Company’s common stock for every two (2) shares of Nanologix common stock. The Company recorded the acquisition of Nanologix as the purchase of assets, principally patents and other intangibles. The value of the Company’s common stock issued in connection with this transaction was $0.85 per share, which was the market value of the Company’s common stock on September 22, 2003, the date the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and announced.
Through December 31, 2003, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,502,549 shares of its common stock in exchange for 9,005,098 shares of Nanologix common stock. This initial exchange resulted in the Company owning approximately 58% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Nanologix. In January 2004, the Company issued an additional 426,275 shares of its common stock, in exchange for 852,550 shares of Nanologix common stock. In September 2004, the Company issued an additional 293,288 shares of its common stock in exchange for 586,576 shares of Nanologix common stock. These exchanges increased the Company’s ownership interest in Nanologix from 58% to 67%.
On September 28, 2004, the Company transferred 6,000,000 shares of Nanologix, Inc. common stock to a shareholder of Nutra Pharma, to discharge a $1,384,931 demand loan from such shareholder. After giving effect to this transfer, the Company owned a total of 4,444,224 shares or approximately 29% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Nanologix (which was 15,537,050 shares).
Subsequent to September 28, 2004, the Company owned a minority interest in Nanologix and accordingly, applied the equity method of accounting to its investment in Nanologix. The Company’s share of Nanologix’s earnings or losses is included in its statement of operations as a single amount. During the year ended December 31, 2004, Nanologix incurred a loss of $6,658,838. The Company’s portion of the loss using the equity method of accounting of $1,664,710 exceeded the carrying value of the Company’s investment which was $853,540 at December 31, 2004, and as such, the $853,540 was charged to operations at December 31, 2004. This charge reduced the carrying value of the Company’s investment in Nanologix to $0.
At December 31, 2004, the Company owned a total of 4,556,174 shares or approximately 25% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Nanologix. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, Nanologix issued additional shares of its common stock reducing the Company’s ownership to approximately 12% at September 30, 2005.

 


Table of Contents

The aggregate market value of the Company’s 4,556,174 shares of Nanologix common stock, based on the trading price of Nanologix common stock as quoted on the pink sheets of $0.17 and $0.13 per share at September 30, 2005, and November 11, 2005, was $774,550 and $592,303 respectively.
4. ACQUISITION OF RECEPTOPHARM, INC.
On December 12, 2003, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement (the “Agreement”), whereby it agreed to acquire a 49.5% interest in ReceptoPharm, Inc. (“ReceptoPharm”), a privately held biopharmaceutical company based in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. ReceptoPharm is a development stage company engaged in the research and development of proprietary therapeutic proteins for the treatment of several chronic viral, autoimmune and neuro-degenerative diseases.
The closing of this transaction was subject to the approval of ReceptoPharm’s board of directors, which was obtained on February 20, 2004. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company is acquiring up to 49.5% of ReceptoPharm’s common equity for $2,000,000 in cash. ReceptoPharm intends to use such funds to further research and development, which could significantly impact future results of operations.
The Company is purchasing its interest in a series of installments. At September 30, 2005, the Company had funded an aggregate of $1,860,000 to ReceptoPharm under the Agreement, which represented a 37% interest in ReceptoPharm.
For accounting purposes, the Company is treating its capital investment in ReceptoPharm as a vehicle for research and development. Because the Company is solely providing financial support to further the research and development of ReceptoPharm, such amounts are being charged to expense as incurred by ReceptoPharm. ReceptoPharm presently has no ability to fund these activities and is dependent on the Company to fund its operations. In these circumstances, ReceptoPharm is considered a variable interest entity and has been consolidated. The creditors of ReceptoPharm do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company.
5. CONVERTIBLE LOANS
In November 2004, in accordance with the terms of completed Subscription Agreements, the Company received total proceeds of $206,750 from four (4) investors. These agreements provide that upon the expiration of a 6 month term from the date of execution, each of the four investors has the option of: (a) being repaid the amount of their investment together with 15% interest per annum; (b) converting their investment into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.17 per share up to an aggregate of 1,216,176 shares, if all four investors convert; or (c) converting their investment into a number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the sum of the principal and accrued interest on the note, divided by the conversion price equal to a price which is 35% below (i) the average of the last reported sales prices for the shares of Common Stock on the NASDAQ National Market, the American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Small Cap Market or the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board for the 5 trading days immediately prior to such date or (ii) if there have been no sales on any such market on any applicable day, the average of the highest bid and lowest ask prices on such market at the end of any applicable day, or (iii) if the market value cannot be calculated as of such date on any of the foregoing bases, the Market Price will be at the fair market value as reasonably determined in good faith by our Board of Directors.
Each investor had piggyback registration rights that would have required the Company to register any shares held by them if the Company voluntarily filed a registration statement, or immediately if an investor decided to convert their investment into shares of common stock.
In May 2005, the loan holders amended their original agreements. The new agreements released the Company from its requirements to register the loan holders’ shares. Each loan holder received approximately ten percent in additional shares as part of the new agreement. In full settlement of the debt, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,458,000 shares of common stock to settle the debt. The fair value of these shares at the date of the settlement was $481,140. The Company recorded interest expense of $261,782 for the value of the shares in excess of the debt settled. (See Note 6.)

The option expires on May 31, 2010.

On April 4, 2005, a Motion to Enforce Settlement Agreement was filed against the Company in the Circuit Court of Broward County Florida by Bio Therapeutics, Inc. f/k/a Phylomed Corp. in Nutra Pharma Corp. v. Bio Therapeutics, Inc. (17th Judicial Circuit, Case No. 03-008928 (03). This proceeding results from the Company’s alleged breach of a settlement agreement that was entered into between Bio Therapeutics and the Company in resolution of a previous lawsuit between the Company and Bio Therapeutics that was resolved by entering into a Settlement Agreement. The Company also entered into a related License Agreement and Amendment to the License Agreement (“License Agreement”) with Bio Therapeutics. In the April 4, 2005 motion, Bio Therapeutics alleges that the Company breached certain provisions of the License Agreement and requests that the Court grant its motion to enforce the Settlement Agreement by declaring the License Agreement terminated, enjoining the Company from further use of license products that was granted to the Company by the License Agreement, and awarding attorneys fees and costs to Bio Therapeutics. This matter is set for a hearing to hear a motion to set a motion for an evidential hearing.
The Company intends to defend against this action. The Company does not believe that this action will have a material effect upon its operations; and if the license agreement is terminated does not believe there will be a material negative impact on the Company.

For purposes of this Plan of Operations, Nutra Pharma Corp. is referred to herein as “we,” “us,” or “our.” This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections overview. The words or phrases “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “should,” “anticipates” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements”. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of the following risks and uncertainties, including: (a) we have experienced recurring net losses and a working capital deficiency which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern; (b) our history of losses makes it difficult to evaluate our current and future business and our future financial results; (c) our continued operations are dependent upon obtaining equity or other financing and should we be unable to obtain such financing, we will be unable to continue our operations; (d) our inability to retain and attract key personnel could adversely affect our business; (e) we are subject to substantial Federal Drug Administration and other regulations and related costs which may adversely affect our operations; (f) a market for our potential products may never develop; (g) if we fail to adequately protect our patents, we may be unable to proceed with development of potential drug products; (h) we are dependent upon patents, licenses and other proprietary rights from third parties; should we lose such rights our operations will be negatively affected; (h) we may be unable to compete against our competitors in the medical device and biopharmaceutical markets since many of our competitors have superior financial and technical resources; (i) issuance of shares of our common stock to consultants has and may in the future have a dilutive effect on the value of our common stock and may negatively effect the trading price of our common stock; (j) our Plan of Operations has been substantially delayed due to lack of financing; (k) our management decisions are made by our Chief Executive Officer, Rik Deitsch and, if we lose his services, our operations will be negatively impacted; (l) we have entered into acquisition agreements which were later rescinded, which has delayed and otherwise negatively affected our operations; and (m) we are subject to a substantial funding commitment of $140,000 due to ReceptoPharm in connection with the ReceptoPharm acquisition agreement and should we fail to meet this commitment, we may lose a portion of our ownership interest in ReceptoPharm and become unable to enact a substantial part of our Plan of Operations.

OUR TWELVE-MONTH PLAN OF OPERATIONS
We intend to accomplish the following regarding our Plan of Operations over the next twelve months.
Clinical Studies
Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN)
Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) is a genetic disorder that affects the central nervous system. The disease causes neurological disability that is slowly progressive over several decades. Throughout our twelve month Plan of Operations and for 3 months thereafter, ReceptoPharm plans to conduct a Phase IIb/IIIa clinical study of its Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) drug, which is currently under development. ReceptoPharm have an agreement with the Charles Dent Metabolic Unit located in London, England to conduct a clinical study that consists of:
    Recruitment of 20 patients with AMN;
 
    Administering the ReceptoPharm’s AMN drug under development; and
 
    Monitoring patients throughout a 15-month protocol.
The clinical study is classified as a Phase III study and is the final step required for regulatory approval of the drug.
HIV and MS
ReceptoPharm also plans to conduct Phase II clinical studies of its HIV and MS drugs under development. These studies will provide data to demonstrate the preliminary efficacy of ReceptoPharms’s HIV/MS drugs under development. ReceptoPharm will seek to secure agreements with third parties to conduct such clinical studies.
ReceptoPharm
Completed Pre-Clinical Work

 


Table of Contents

The Company has completed pre-clinical studies with various companies that ReceptoPharm has agreements with pertaining to ReceptoPharm’s Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and HIV drugs, which consisted of the following:
    MS Drug under Development — ReceptoPharm conducted microarray and histoculture studies and related analysis of the cells of Multiple Sclerosis patients’ to ascertain how certain drugs affect the cells of these patients. Microarray analysis is the study of the gene expression of cells. Histoculture is the study of the entire cellular environment. ReceptoPharm continues to conduct these studies through our agreement with Eno Research and Development, a clinical research organization; and
 
    HIV Drug under Development — Viral isolates are common mutations of HIV.
We conducted these studies through our agreement with ReceptoPharm. ReceptoPharm has an agreement with the University of California, San Diego, to study the effect of ReceptoPharm’s drug under development on different viral isolates to determine the drug’s efficacy in mutated forms of the HIV virus.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have experienced a significant loss from operations. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to secure additional financing, increase ownership equity, and attain profitable operations. Additionally, our independent registered public accounting firm has issued a going concern opinion on our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 since we have experienced recurring net losses and at December 31, 2004, a working capital deficiency. We have estimated expenses of $970,000 pertaining to our twelve month Plan of Operations or $80,833 of monthly expenditures. Based upon our current cash position of approximately $15,000, we have sufficient funds to conduct our operations for only approximately 3 weeks. We intend to satisfy our estimated cash requirements of $970,000 for our twelve month Plan of Operations pending adequate financing through a private placement of our equity securities and through our agreement with SBI Brightline XII LLC that obligated SBI to purchase, upon our election, up to 24,000,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $9.6 million. However, the SBI Britghtline XII LLC transaction is subject to an effective registration statement and there is no guarantee that such registration statement will be declared effective by the SEC. Should the registration statement not be declared effective by the SEC, the Company will have to seek alternative financing.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out by our sole executive officer Rik Deitsch, who is our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, and a member of our board of directors. Based upon his evaluation, Mr. Deitsch concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There have been no changes in our system of internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On April 4, 2005, a Motion to Enforce Settlement Agreement was filed against us in the Circuit Court of Broward County Florida by Bio Therapeutics, Inc. f/k/a Phylomed Corp. in Nutra Pharma Corp. v. Bio Therapeutics, Inc. (17th Judicial Circuit, Case No. 03-008928 (03)). This proceeding results from our alleged breach of a settlement agreement that was entered into between Bio Therapeutics

In the motion, Bio Therapeutics alleges that we breached certain provisions of the License Agreement and requests that the Court grant its motion to enforce the Settlement Agreement by declaring the License Agreement terminated, enjoining us from further use of license products that were granted to us by the License Agreement, and awarding attorneys fees and costs to Bio Therapeutics.
