ITEM 1: BUSINESS

 

SUMMARY

 

Inergetics, Inc. (the “Company,” “Inergetics,” “we” or “us”), formerly Millennium Biotechnologies Group, Inc., is a holding company for its sole operating subsidiary, Millennium Biotechnologies, Inc. (“Millennium”). 

 

Millennium was incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 9, 2000, and is located in New Jersey.  Millennium is a research based bio-nutraceutical corporation involved in the field of nutritional science.  Millennium's principal source of revenue is from sales of its nutraceutical supplements.

 

On March 15, 2010 we changed our name to Inergetics, Inc.

 

Inergetics, through its subsidiary Millennium, engages in the research, development, and marketing of specialized nutritional supplements as an adjunct to medical treatments for select medical conditions, as well as for athletes seeking improved recovery and advanced performance. We currently market products which are targeted toward individuals. Millennium’s currently manufactures and markets the following four proprietary product lines and 36 SKU’s to 7 separate target markets:

 

·Surgex™;
·Bikini Ready™;
·SlimTrim;
·Martha Stewart™ Essentials;
·Om Essentials;
·Muscle Maker Grill 42;
·and
·Intrinsix. 

 

We believe that our products are unique in that they deliver healthy, whole food calories and do not contain high-fructose corn syrup or corn oil, which are not healthy or suitable forms of calories for Millennium’s targeted markets. These ingredients have also shown to correlate with an increase in obesity, a promotion of insulin resistance, and are implicated in inflammation and cancer. Additionally, the use of high levels of Omega-6 fats (corn oil) has been shown to promote tumor growth in animal models.

 

Millennium developed Surgex™ ( www.surgexsports.com ) sports nutritional formula in late 2007. Surgex™ was tested in two single-blind placebo controlled clinical trials conducted on the Division 1A Football and Soccer players at Rutgers University. Base on the results of these trials we believe that Surgex™ addresses the nutritional concerns of both professional and amateur elite athletes. These athletes often experience similar symptoms post-workout to those battling immuno-compromised conditions, such as fatigue, loss of lean muscle, oxidative stress, and reduced immune function.

Millennium acquired Bikini Ready™ and SlimTrim in January 2013. Both Bikini Ready and SlimTrim are sold into the diet category in retail stores. In addition, SlimTrim is also sold direct to consumer on its web site www.slimtrim1.com and Bikini Ready is sold direct to consumer on its web site www.bikinireadylifestyle.com.

 

In May 2013, Millennium acquired the license for Martha Stewart™ Essentials. Condition specific supplements were developed for women. The product is sold in retailers and on the web site www.marthastewartessentials.com.

 

In March 2015 the Company launched Nulief™, a branded nutritional supplement offering the holistic benefits associated with Cannabidiol (CBD). Inergetics and Terra Tech Corp. developed Nulief under the insightful guidance and extensive expertise of the Scientific/Medical Advisory Board the companies convened in early 2014.

 

We are headquartered in Newark, New Jersey, and our common stock currently trades on the Over-the-Counter (OTCQB) market under the symbol “NRTI.”

 

Distribution Channels

Generally, the products are shipped directly to the customer’s home within one business day and arrive within 2 to 5 business days depending on the customers’ geographic location.

 

PRODUCTS

  

Surgex™

 

Surgex™, is a nutritional support formula that aims to address the concerns of many elite athletes who suffer from symptoms such as (fatigue, lean muscle loss, lactic acid buildup, oxidative stress, and stressed immune systems). This formula is designed to improve recovery parameters in efforts to enhance the performance of professional and collegiate athletes.

 

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has specific rules about the use of certain amino acids, or anabolic agents. In fact, colleges and universities are prohibited from purchasing any product that contains amino acids or anabolic agents for athletes. This led to the development of the Surgex™ nutritional support formula.

 

Millennium has tested its sports nutrition formula products at Rutgers University in New Jersey, among both the Men’s Division I Soccer Team and the Men’s Division I Football Team in two separate single-blind placebo-controlled studies. Both studies illustrated the product’s beneficial effects as a post-workout recovery aid, assisting the athlete in maximizing training responses and optimal recovery and improving performance.

 

Surgex Meal is a Meal Replacement Shake from powder. Surgex Fix is a pre-work and recovery powder shake. Both the Meal Replacement and Fix are NCAA compliant. Surgex also has Surgex Pump and pre workout powder drink. Surgex Thermo is a thermogenic pill.

Bikini Ready™

 

Bikini Ready Yummy Shake from powder is a low calorie meal substitute. Bikini Ready Weight Loss Catalyst is a thermogenic supplement containing fat burning ingredients. Bikini Ready Cleanse is a multi-component formula to address weight loss and detox at the same time using a natural healthy gentle laxative effect. Bikini Ready Fashion Multi is a comprehensive multiple vitamin containing ingredients to block carbohydrates, stimulate metabolism and protect cells which blocks carbohydrates from being absorbed. Bikini Ready Gummies stimulate the body’s metabolism.

 

SlimTrim

 

SlimTrim is an inclusive weight loss formula at an affordable price.

 

Martha Stewart™ Essentials

 

Martha StewartEssentials is a complete line of whole-food based supplements created specifically for women. The line consists of six SKU’s which are condition specific. The line is comprised of a Women’s Multivitamin, Hair, Skin & Nails, Digestive Health, Graceful Aging, Menopause Support, Bone Support and Women’s Multivitamin Gummies.

 

Product Functionality Overview

 

Several health concerns must be addressed when it comes to effectively providing nutrition. While other “single magic bullet” products on the market largely only focus on one area while potentially neglecting others, Millennium’s products have been developed to address the major dietary concerns that may be influenced by nutritional support, when incorporated as an adjunct to a individual’s care.

 

We have focused on condition specific products with scientifically advanced formulas. Many of the products are whole food based and gluten free.

 

MARKETS

 

Size of the Nutritional supplement Market

 

The nutritional supplement market is expected to increase in excess of $32 billion by 2014 according to Nutritional Business Journal. This growth is likely to be attributed to several factors, including industry efforts to promote supplements as more essential than ever in weak economic times since they can help to avert the need for much costlier prescription drugs and medical treatments, bolstered product credibility as a result of the newly implemented federal GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and AER (adverse event report) requirements, increased industry self-regulation, and a steady stream of innovative new products targeting an ever broader range of increasingly specific conditions—especially the many age-related issues of aging Boomers and seniors.

 

Sports Nutrition Market

 

Based on historical acceptance by 10 NBA teams, PGA golfers, and NFL players with little or no marketing budget, management expects to significantly improve results with proper marketing and distribution strategies which cater to the mass market of sports nutrition consumers.

 

Products such as those listed below, as well as many other “high protein” drinks, are marketed as sports nutrition supplements and may be considered competitive products to our Surgex™ sports nutrition formula. It is important to note that as the high-protein drink market is expansive, these competitive products are not an exhaustive list of competitors. Rather, these products are representative of some of the high-protein drink products on the market today that may compete with Surgex™ sports nutrition formula. Surgex™ sports nutrition formula will likely provide athletes with the important calories they need while being competitively priced with other products.

·FRS, an antioxidant health drink, by New Sun Nutrition, Inc.
·Gatorade ® Performance Series

 

Target Markets

 

Millennium re-launched Surgex™ in the first quarter of 2013. Greater details on these markets are provided below.

 

Sports Recovery

 

Competitive athletes often suffer from similar symptoms to those battling cancer or immuno-compromised diseases, such as fatigue, oxidative stress, muscle wasting, and possibly lack of immune support due to the demands they put on their bodies daily. In order to compete effectively, these athletes need a solution to address some of the key concerns they face, described below.

 

·Fatigue and Mitochondrial Dysfunction. Damage done to the mitochondria is typically attributed to the buildup of free radicals and other noxious byproducts, such as lactic acid that accumulates during and after strenuous activity.

 

·Oxidative Stress. Oxygen consumption greatly increases during exercise, which leads to increased free radical production. Also, free radical formation within the muscle during exercise can easily damage muscle tissue and inhibit performance by the induction of fatigue.

 

·Muscle Wasting. A common problem during strenuous activity is lean muscle loss or wasting as muscle tends to breakdown after vigorous activity. This problem can have a serious impact on performance and recovery.

 

·Immune Support. Exercise has also been shown to have a positive effect on the immune system if one does not over train. Signs and signals of overtraining are a constant feeling of fatigue, loss of strength or endurance, and although still exercising, a feeling of burnout. Additionally, excessive exercise or periods of very heavy conditioning could lead to suppression of immunity for several hours to a week or longer, creating a brief period of vulnerability when the risk of upper respiratory tract infections is increased.

 

Effect of Banned Nutritionals

 

In recent years, professional athletes have come under considerable scrutiny for taking different substances or performance enhancers. Whether it is the Olympics, Tour de France, baseball, or other professional sports, organizations constantly test athletes for chemicals within their body that would indicate they have taken an illegal substance to boost their performance. Millennium’s Surgex™ sports nutritional formula product is devoid of any banned substances.

 

Rutgers Studies: Demonstrating the Effect of Surgex™ Sports Nutrition Formula vs. Placebo

 

Millennium has conducted two clinical trials at Rutgers University among the Men’s Division I Soccer and Football teams, comparing the effect of the Surgex™ sports nutrition formula versus a placebo. We believe that both studies showed the product’s beneficial effects as post-workout recovery aid, assisting the athlete in maximizing training responses and aiding in optimal recovery. Surgex was formerly called Resurgex.

 

Division I Men’s Soccer Team-Results of the Trial-Published in The Journal for Strength and Conditioning Research

 

Millennium conducted its first clinical trial among the Rutgers University Men’s Division I Soccer team during their preseason training regimen. The clinical trial was accepted for publication in The Journal for Strength and Conditioning Research (“JSCR”). The JCSR is the official research journal of the National Strength and Conditioning Association. This journal is recognized as the preeminent publication for strength and conditioning coaches worldwide. These thought leaders rely on this journal for the future of leading edge science as applied to their profession.

Preseason training often places a high demand on athletes, and requires them to engage in frequent, high-intensity workouts with limited time devoted to recovery. Soccer players spend a considerable portion of a match at an intensity close to 75% of VO2 max (the maximum amount of oxygen in milliliters that one can use in one minute per kilogram of body weight) and rely on anaerobic metabolism and power during brief bursts of sprinting, kicking, and jumping. These players must be able to perform near maximal capacity for extended periods, which may result in increased oxidative stress. With outside supplementation of protective nutraceuticals, it may be possible to reduce acute and chronic oxidative stress, as well as capitalize on gains from intense preseason training.

 

The purpose of this study was to examine changes in performance and oxidative stress in collegiate soccer players over the course of preseason preparation, and to determine the impact of a supplemental proprietary nutraceutical blend proposed to reduce oxidative stress and enhance recovery.

 

Results

 

A summary of the findings of the soccer trial is provided in Table 8.

NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTATION (RESURGEX ® ) IN MALE COLLEGE SOCCER PLAYERS:
EFFECTS ON PERFORMANCE AND OXIDATIVE STRESS
 
Improved Performance There were significant changes in performance capacity as reduced oxidative stress in the Resurgex ® group versus the control group (leading high-protein nutritional formula).
   
Improved Lactic Acid Response The Resurgex ® group had improved lactic acid responses to exercise and time to exhaustion versus the control group.
   
Reduced Oxidative Stress The Resurgex ® group had significantly lower oxidative stress markers (isoprostanes and LPOs) versus the control group.
   
Source: Inergetics, Inc.  

 

This single-blind, placebo-controlled trial found that our Surgex™ sports nutrition formula enhanced performance parameters and reduced oxidative stress levels (free radical damage caused by exercise) in players. Oxidative stress in the body is caused by imbalance or overload of oxidants (free radicals from air, food, metabolism, medications, stress, disease, etc.). Sustained oxidative stress disrupts the cells’ defenses, resulting in damage that contributes to the development of many diseases.

 

Results indicated a beneficial effect of the Surgex™ sports nutrition formula, including improvements in performance capacity, time to exhaustion, lactic acid response, and reduced oxidative stress. This data suggests an important role for Resurgex® in the sports fitness field in addition to its proven benefits for cancer and immuno-compromised medical patients. We believe that the fact that this trial is approved for publication in the JSCR confirms the results of this clinical trial have been reviewed and approved by an independent and accredited third party.

 

Rutgers’ Division I Football Team-Results of the Trial Published in the Journal of Comparative Exercise Physiology.

 

We also conducted a second clinical trial on the Rutgers University Division I Football team versus a placebo group. The study tested the recovery time, strength, and body composition of the players versus a placebo (a leading competitor sports formula). We believe that the results concluded that the Surgex™ sports nutrition formula significantly enhanced recovery parameters, strength, and body composition in the football players.

Results

 

Those receiving the Surgex™ sports nutrition formula showed significant increases in their peak power, as measured by Wingate testing (assessment for peak anaerobic power, anaerobic fatigue, and total anaerobic capacity through a combination of running, vertical jumping, and resistance training), better muscle to fat weight gains, and an improved testosterone:cortisol ratio, as well as reduction of interleukin 6 (IL6), creatine kinase, and isoprostanes versus the control group.

 

Testosterone and cortisol are the two hormones affected by training. The cortisol levels typically elevate and break down lean muscle. Testosterone, in contrast, which is the supporter of lean muscle, decreases, therefore causing lean muscle breakdown in the body after strenuous exercise. In this study, the Resurgex® group had significantly improved testosterone to cortisol ratios versus the control group. A summary of the findings of this study is provided in Table 9.

 

Table 9

NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTATION (RESURGEX ® ) IN MALE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYERS:
EFFECTS ON STRENGTH, BODY COMPOSITION, AND OXIDATIVE STRESS
   
Improved Body Composition While both groups gained weight, the Resurgex ® group gained muscle and lost a slight amount of body fat while a leading competitor sports formula (control) group gained ½ of their body weight as fat.
   
Improved Power and Strength Using Wingate testing, peak power was measured for each test and standardized by body weight. The increase in peak power in the Resurgex ® group was approximately 86% greater than the increase in the leading competitor sports formula group.
   
Improved Recovery Parameters The Resurgex ® group had a significant improvement in their testosterone:cortisol ratio, while a leading competitor sports formula group had a decrease in this ratio.

The practical application emerging from the study demonstrates the beneficial application of the Surgex™ sports nutrition formula as a post-workout recovery aid, assisting the athlete in maximizing training responses by helping to buffer the acute and chronic biochemical challenges to optimal recovery. The product also has the ability to reduce inflammatory and oxidative stress markers, as well as compounds that can break down muscle. Millennium believes that these findings can help us position the Surgex™ sports nutrition formula as an aid to help athletes increase their performance by improving recovery, strength, and energy parameters.

 

Millennium launched Bikini Ready™ in the first quarter of 2013. The Bikini Ready products are directed towards active women that want to live the healthy life style. The products are sold in the drug and grocery channels.

 

Millennium acquired SlimTrim in January 2013. The products are sold as affordable weight loss formulas. The products are sold in the drug and grocery channels.

Millennium entered into a licensing agreement with Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. in May 2013 for the Martha Stewart™ Essentials line. The products were launched September 2013. The line of supplements is condition specific, whole food based directed towards women. The line of supplements is all sold into the drug and grocery channels along with direct to consumer sales over the internet. Over the term of the agreement which expires in December 2018, we have a minimum licensing fee due in a total amount of $13,800,000. The Company has not paid the July 1, 2014 payment in the amount of $450,000, nor the January 1, 2015 payment of $525,000 or the April 1, 2015 payment of $525,000.

 

Intellectual Property

 

Millennium owns all rights to the formulations of Resurgex Select ®, Resurgex®, Resurgex Plus®, Resurgex Essential™, Resurgex Essential Plus™, Surgex™, Bikini Ready and SlimTrim and has filed compositional patent applications with respect to these formulations. Resurgex®, Resurgex Plus®, Resurgex Select ®, and Surgex™ are registered trademarks filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Additionally, we have patents pending for all product lines in 57 countries worldwide.

 

Millennium owns the Bikini Ready trademark.

 

On January 7, 2003, Resurgex® was issued a use and composition patent (U.S. Patent 6,503,506, Nutrient therapy for immuno-compromised patients). Millennium was granted a composition patent for Resurgex Select® in December of 2006. In addition, the Surgex™ line of products is patent pending in the United States and 57 countries worldwide. We rely on trade secrets and unpatented proprietary technology in addition to our patented technologies.

 

On March 20, 2006, Millennium received the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code for Resurgex Select ® . HCPCS is one of the formats in which nutritional formulas may be coded for Medicare reimbursement and is specifically required for Medicaid reimbursement in many states.

  

Growth Strategy and Distribution

 

Millennium has implemented a strategy that is intended to penetrate the Food Drug Mass (FDM) channels of distribution with its nutritional products. Our products are currently distributed in approximately 15,000 retail stores. We intend on growing distribution with more retailers through our internal sales force and utilization of our broker network. The FDM has in excess of 300,000 stores in the United States. We have numerous web sites where the products can be purchased directly by the consumer. Our products can also be purchased at various E-retailers.

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

 

During the year ended 2014 and 2013, we spent $23,944 and $44,090, respectively, on research and development of our products. The research and development expenses incurred in 2014 and 2013 are directly related to the development of the Bikini Ready and Martha Stewart Essentials product line.

 

COMPETITION

 

Our products target the nutritional supplement market. The products that most directly compete with our products in the adult nutrition market are produced by mainstream manufacturers, as well as generic (store branded) products that are marketed head-to-head against these products. We believe that our products can compete because:

 

·Many of the mass-market competitors manufacture their products using the least expensive ingredients, which ensures low retail price and high profitability. This means diminished bioavailability and low biological value, as well as less benefit to the end user.

 

·Millennium’s products were developed with the ingredients necessary in order to deliver optimal performance.

 

·Millennium’s products deliver therapeutic levels of active ingredients based on the scientific research.

 

10
 

 

·Millennium has a use and composition patent for the existing formulas. Ensure ® and Boost ® are composed of mostly corn syrup and provide “empty calories,” which could do more harm than good, especially in glucose-sensitive individuals.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the biotechnology and nutraceutical supplement industries are highly competitive and subject to significant and rapid technological change. Developments by our competitors may render our products obsolete or noncompetitive. Numerous companies compete in our market, many of which have greater size and financial, personnel, distribution and other resources greater than ours. Our principal competition in the distribution channels where we are marketing our current products and where we intend to market other products comes from a limited number of large nationally known manufacturers and many smaller manufacturers of nutraceutical supplements. In addition, large pharmaceutical companies compete with us on a limited basis in the nutraceutical supplement market. Increased competition from such companies could have a material adverse effect on us because such companies have greater financial and other resources available to them and possess distribution and marketing capabilities far greater than ours. We also face competition in mass market distribution channels from private label nutraceutical supplements offered by health and natural food store chains and drugstore chains. We cannot assure that we will be able to compete.

 

MANUFACTURING

 

Command Nutritionals, LLC is our outsourced manufacturer and co-packager for the powder products at their facility in Fairfield, New Jersey.

 

Dr. Vita is our outsourced manufacturer and co-packager for the tablet products at their facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.

 

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

 

The manufacturing, processing, formulation, packaging, labeling and advertising of all of Millennium’s product lines are subject to regulation by federal agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA"), the Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the United States Department of Agriculture, the United States Postal Service and the United States Environmental Protection Agency. These activities are also subject to regulation by various agencies of the states and localities in which we sell and plan to sell our products.

 

The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (the "Dietary Supplement Law") broadly regulates nutritional labeling, claims and manufacturing requirements for dietary supplements. The Dietary Supplement Law provides for regulation of Statements of Nutritional Support ("Statements"). These Statements may be made if they are truthful and not misleading and if "adequate" substantiation for the claims is available. Statements can describe claims of enhanced well-being from use of the dietary supplement or product statements that relate to affecting a structure or function of the body. However, statements cannot claim to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, regardless of the possible existence of scientific reports substantiating such claims.

 

Statements appearing in dietary supplement labeling must be accompanied by disclaimer stating that the FDA has not evaluated the Statements. Notification to the FDA of these Statements is not considered approval of the Statements. If the FDA determines in possible future proceedings that dietary supplement Statements fail to meet the requirements of the Dietary Supplement Law, a product may be subject to regulation as a drug. The FDA retains all enforcement means available to it (i.e. seizure, civil or criminal penalties, etc.), when investigating or enforcing labeling claims.

  

The Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") regulates advertising of dietary supplements which includes all of Millennium’s products. The Federal Trade Commission Act prohibits unfair or deceptive trade practices and false or misleading advertising. The FTC has recently been very active in its enforcement of advertising against manufacturers and distributors of nutritional dietary supplements having instituted several enforcement actions resulting in signed agreements and payment of large fines.  Although we have not been the target of a FTC investigation, there can be no assurance that the FTC will not investigate our advertising in the future.

 

11
 

 

We are unable to predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations, or applications,  nor can we predict what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative orders, when and if promulgated,  would have on our business in the future.  They could, however, require the reformulation of certain products not possible to be reformulated, imposition of additional record keeping requirements, and expanded documentation of the properties of certain products, expanded or different labeling and scientific substantiation regarding product ingredients, safety or usefulness.  Any or all such requirements could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

PRODUCT LIABILITY AND INSURANCE

 

The Company, like other producers and distributors of ingested products, faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that, among other things, the use of its products results in injury. We maintain insurance against product liability claims with respect to the products we manufactures. With respect to the retail and direct marketing distribution of products produced by others, our principal form of insurance consists of arrangements with each of our suppliers of those products to name us as beneficiary on each of such vendor’s product liability insurance policies. We do not buy products from suppliers who do not maintain such coverage.

 

SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, two significant customers (defined as contributing at least 10%) accounted for 36% (19%, and 17%) of net sales. For the year ended December 31, 2013, three significant customers (defined as contributing at least 10%) accounted for 55% (31%, 13%, and 11%) of net sales. The loss of any of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business. One of these customers discontinued selling one of the Company’s brands in January 2015.

 

EMPLOYEES

 

As of April 7, 2014, we employed 9 full time persons. Two are primarily engaged in overall managerial functions associated with operations and raising capital. Six are engaged in distribution partnerships and sales and marketing. One is primarily engaged in day to day managerial operations. We have no collective bargaining agreements with its employees.

ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our company involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information included in this Form 10-K, you should carefully consider the following risk factors described and the risk factors that may be described in any applicable supplement. You should consider these matters in conjunction with the other information included in this filing. The risks and uncertainties described in this filing and any applicable filing supplement are not the only ones facing us.

Our business, results of operations or financial condition could be seriously harmed, and the trading price of our common stock may decline due to any of these or other risks.

 

12
 

 

You should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and other factors described below, in addition to the other information set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto. Any of these risks, uncertainties and other factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects. In that case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. An investment in our securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You should not invest in our securities if you cannot bear the economic risk of your investment for an indefinite period of time and cannot afford to lose your entire investment. There may be additional risks that we do not presently know of or that we currently believe are immaterial which could also impair our business and financial position. See also “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

 

We have operated at a loss and cannot assure that we will be able to attain profitable operations.

 

Although we are generating revenues, we continue to operate at a loss. During the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we generated revenues of $1,991,688 and $847,834, respectively, from sales of our products. However, during these periods we realized net losses of $8,118,016 and $4,187,892, of which, respectively, $2,668,621 and $1,761,810 were non-cash items. We expect to continue incurring operating losses until we are able to derive meaningful revenues from marketing our four product lines and other products we intend to bring to market. We cannot assure that we will be able to attain profitable operations.

 

We require additional funding to maintain our operations and to further develop our business. Our inability to obtain additional financing would have an adverse effect on our business.

 

Our success depends on our ability to develop a market for our products and other nutraceutical supplements we intend to bring to market. This means having an adequate advertising and marketing budget and adequate funds to continue to promote our products, including making minimum royalty payments to Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. (please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations’ Liquidity and Capital Resources”). Although our revenues have increased, our operating expenses are significantly greater than our revenues. During 2014 we obtained new capital in the form of debt resulting in the receipt by us of $3,060,030. These funds in conjunction with ongoing operating revenues provided adequate capital for our operating needs for these periods. We need to continue to raise funds to cover working capital and for other financial requirements until we are able to raise revenues to a point of positive cash flow. In this regard, we note that we were not able to make the payment that was due July 1, 2014 to Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia pursuant to our license agreement. While we are in discussions to work out terms of payment, we most likely will need to raise additional funds to meet our obligations under the license agreement. We plan to raise additional funds, as before, through additional equity or debt financings. We may not be able to raise such funds on terms acceptable to us or at all. Financings may be on terms that are dilutive or potentially dilutive to our stockholders. If sources of financing are insufficient or unavailable, we will be required to modify our operating plans to the extent of available funding or curtail or suspend operations.

 

13
 

 

The Note and other debt instruments to which we are a party contain certain restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness, the raising funds through the sale of securities or engaging in certain major transactions without the consent of the holders of these instruments. These restrictions could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

The Note and other debt instruments to which we are a party place restrictions on our ability to incur indebtedness, raise funds through the sale of securities or engage in certain major transactions without the consent of the holders of such instruments. Our inability to raise needed funds from borrowings or the sale of securities, or our inability to effect certain major business transactions could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Our year end audited financial statements contain a “going concern” explanatory paragraph. Our inability to continue as a going concern would require a restatement of assets and liabilities on a liquidation basis, which would differ materially and adversely from the going concern basis on which our financial statements included in this report have been prepared.

 

Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 included herein have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. Our auditors’ report on the consolidated financial statements contained herein includes an additional explanatory paragraph following the opinion paragraph on our ability to continue as a going concern. A note to these consolidated financial statements describes the reasons why there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and our plans to address this issue. Our December 31, 2014 and 2013 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our inability to continue as a going concern would require a restatement of assets and liabilities on a liquidation basis, which would differ materially and adversely from the going concern basis on which our consolidated financial statements have been prepared.

 

We are subject to significant government regulation.

 

The packaging, labeling, advertising, promotion, distribution and sale of Surgex™, Bikini Ready™, SlimTrim and Martha Stewart™ Essentials and other products we plan to produce and market are subject to regulation by numerous governmental agencies, the most active of which is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which regulates our products under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and regulations promulgated thereunder. Our products are also subject to regulation by, among other regulatory entities, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency. Advertising and other forms of promotion and methods of marketing of our products are subject to regulation by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, which regulates these activities under the Federal Trade Commission Act. The manufacture, labeling and advertising of our products are also regulated by various state and local agencies. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements may result in, among other things, injunctions, product withdrawals, recalls, product seizures, and fines. In addition, we are unable to predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations, or applications,  nor can we predict what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative orders, when and if promulgated,  would have on our business in the future.  They could, however, require the reformulation of certain products not possible to be reformulated, imposition of additional record keeping requirements, and expanded documentation of the properties of certain products, expanded or different labeling and scientific substantiation regarding product ingredients, safety or usefulness.  Our inability to comply with any or all such current or future requirements could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Please see “Business; Government Regulation”.

 

We have been dependent on a few major customers. If we are unable to develop more customers our business most likely will be adversely affected

For the year ended December 31, 2014, two significant customers (defined as contributing at least 10%) accounted for 36% (19% and 17%) of net sales. For the year ended December 31, 2013, three significant customers accounted for 55% (31%, 13% and 11%) of net sales. The loss of any of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

14
 

 

Our involvement in defending product liability claims could have a detrimental effect on our operations.

 

Like other retailers and distributors of products designed for human consumption, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of our products results in injury. We may be subjected to various product liability claims, including, among others, that our products include inadequate instructions for use or inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects and interactions with other substances. We carry $25,000,000 of product liability insurance. Thus, any product liabilities exceeding our coverage relating to our products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We face significant competition.

 

The biotechnology and nutraceutical supplement industries are highly competitive and subject to significant and rapid technological change. Developments by our competitors may render our products obsolete or noncompetitive. Numerous companies compete in our market, many of which have greater size and financial, personnel, distribution and other resources greater than ours. Our principal competition in the distribution channels where we are marketing our current products and where we intend to market other products comes from a limited number of large nationally known manufacturers and many smaller manufacturers of nutraceutical supplements. In addition, large pharmaceutical companies compete with us on a limited basis in the nutraceutical supplement market. Increased competition from such companies could have a material adverse effect on us because such companies have greater financial and other resources available to them and possess distribution and marketing capabilities far greater than ours. We also face competition in mass market distribution channels from private label nutraceutical supplements offered by health and natural food store chains and drugstore chains. We cannot assure that we will be able to compete.

 

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property or we infringe on intellectual property of others, our business and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

 

We own all rights to the formulation of Resurgex®, Resurgex Plus®, Resurgex Select®, Surgex™, Bikini Ready™ and SlimTrim and have a use and compositional patent with respect to Resurgex® (which covers Resurgex Plus®), and Resurgex Select®. Surgex™ is patent pending. We also have registered trademarks for the names "Resurgex", “Resurgex Plus” and “Resurgex Select”. “Surgex” has preliminary Trade mark reservation status. We have filed patent applications internationally with regards to all patents and patents pending. No assurance can be given that patents will be issued from pending applications or that there right, if issued and the rights from our existing patents and registered name will afford us adequate protections. In addition, we rely on trade secrets and unpatented proprietary technology. There is no assurance that others may not independently develop the same or similar technology or produce products which provide the same benefits as the current product lines.

 

Although we will seek to ensure that our products do not infringe the intellectual property rights of others, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert intellectual property infringement claims against us. Any infringement claims by third parties against us may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

 

Because our Board can issue common stock and convertible preferred without stockholder approval and because certain of our convertible securities have conversion prices that could drop due to anti-dilution provisions, you could experience substantial dilution.

 

Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock, shares of preferred stock that can be converted into common stock at high ratios and options and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock without stockholder approval. In addition, we have issued convertible securities, including the Note, that contain anti-dilution provisions that could result in lower conversion prices. As of December 31, 2014, there were 713,674,451 shares issued and outstanding or reserved for issuance on a fully-diluted basis. Future issuance of additional shares of common stock could be at values substantially below the current market price of our common stock and, therefore, could represent substantial dilution to investors in this offering. In addition, our Board could issue large blocks of our common stock to fend off unwanted tender offers or hostile takeovers without further stockholder approval.

 

15
 

 

Anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and our ability to issue preferred stock could discourage a merger or other type of corporate reorganization or a change in control even if they could be favorable to the interests of our stockholders.

 

The Delaware General Corporation Law contains provisions which may enable our management to retain control and resist a takeover of us. These provisions generally prevent us from engaging in a broad range of business combinations with an owner of 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock for a period of three years from the date that this person acquires his stock. In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation allows us to issue shares of preferred stock without any vote or further action by our stockholders. Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors also has the authority to issue preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of our common stock. Accordingly, these provisions could discourage or make more difficult a change in control or a merger or other type of corporate reorganization even if they could be favorable to the interests of our stockholders.

 

We do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

We have not declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock in many decades. We currently intend to retain all of our earnings, if any, for use in its business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including future earnings, the success of our business activities, our general financial condition and future prospects, general business conditions and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant. In addition, no cash dividends may be declared or paid on our common stock if, and as long as, the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding or there are unpaid dividends on outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock. No dividends may be declared on the Series C Preferred Stock if, and as long as, the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding. Accordingly, it is unlikely that we will declare any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Series G Preferred Stock does not pay a cash dividend, but does pay a quarterly payment in kind dividend.

 

The rights of the holders of our common stock will be subordinate to our creditors and to the holders of our preferred stock in a liquidation. No assurance can be given as to the amount of assets, if any, that would be available for common stockholders in the event of a liquidation.

 

In liquidation, the rights of equity security holders like our common stockholders are subordinate to holders of our debt obligations. As of December 31, 2014, we owe $12,172,729 to our creditors. In addition, the holders of our Series G Preferred Stock have a preference in liquidation over the holders of our common stock. Accordingly, in the event of liquidation, no assurance can be given as to the amount of remaining assets, if any, available for payment to common stockholder.

 

We cannot assure that there will be a sustained public market for our common stock.

 

At present, our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and tradable in the over-the-counter market. Our common stock is not traded on a sustained basis or with significant volume. In addition, we currently do not meet the requirements for listing our common stock on NASDAQ or a national securities exchange and we cannot assure if or when our common stock will be listed on such an exchange. For the foregoing reasons, we cannot assure that there will be a significant and sustained public market for the sale of our common stock. Accordingly, if you purchase our common stock, you may be unable to resell it. In the absence of any readily available secondary market for our common stock, you may experience great difficulty in selling your shares at or near the price that you originally paid.

 

16
 

 

The market price of our common stock may be volatile.

 

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate and be affected by a number of factors, including, without limitation:

 

·Fluctuations in our operating results;
·our announcements of significant contracts, milestones, acquisitions;
·Announcements of innovations, new products or new patents by us or by our competitors;
·Governmental regulation;
·additions or departures of key personnel;
·significant sales of common stock or common stock equivalents or termination of stock transfer restrictions;
·changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;
·fluctuations in stock market price and volume;
·Patent or proprietary rights developments; and
·Proxy contests or litigation.

.

Our stock price may be adversely affected if a significant amount of shares are sold in the public market.

 

As of April 7, 2015, approximately 28,456,839 shares of our common stock constituted "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Generally, pursuant to Rule 144, stockholders who are not affiliates of our company can resell their restricted securities after they have held them for at least six months. In addition, as of April 7, 2015, approximately 33,800,000 shares of common stock are issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants, and approximately 1,253,160 shares of common stock are issuable upon conversion of other debt and of preferred stock, which debt and preferred stock has been held for at least six months. Consequently, most of our restricted securities and securities issuable upon conversion of convertible debt and convertible preferred stock are or soon will be eligible for public sale. As of April 7, 2015, in addition to the Warrant, we had warrants outstanding for the purchase of an aggregate of 21,292,144 shares of our common stock. To the extent the exercise price of these warrants is less than the market price of the common stock, the holders of the warrants are likely to exercise them and, eventually, sell the underlying shares of common stock and to the extent that the exercise price of the warrants are adjusted pursuant to anti-dilution protection, the warrants could be exercisable or convertible for even more shares of common stock. Moreover, we most likely will issue additional shares of common stock and/or instruments convertible into or exercisable for common stock to raise funding or compensate employees, consultants and/or directors. We are unable to estimate the amount, timing or nature of future sales of outstanding common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market could cause the market price for our common stock to decrease. Furthermore, a decline in the price of our common stock would likely impede our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional shares of common stock or other equity securities.

 

Our common stock is considered a “penny stock”. The application of the “penny stock” rules to our common stock could limit the trading and liquidity of our common stock, adversely affect the market price of our common stock and increase the transaction costs to sell shares of our common stock.

 

Our common stock is a “low-priced” security or “penny stock” under rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In accordance with these rules, broker-dealers participating in transactions in low-priced securities must first deliver a risk disclosure document which describes the risks associated with such stocks, the broker-dealers duties in selling the stock, the customer’s rights and remedies and certain market and other information. Furthermore, the broker-dealer must make a suitability determination approving the customer for low- priced stock transactions based on the customer’s financial situation, investment experience and objectives. Broker-dealers must also disclose these restrictions in writing to the customer, obtain specific written consent from the customer, and provide monthly account statements to the customer. The effect of these restrictions will likely decrease the willingness of broker-dealers to make a market in our common stock, will decrease liquidity of our common stock and will increase transaction costs for sales and purchases of our common stock as compared to other securities.

 

17
 

 

If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately and timely or to prevent fraud. In this regard, primarily due to our small size, our management has reported certain material weaknesses and significant deficiencies. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.

 

Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. In our recent periodic reports, our management identified the following material weakness and significant deficiency in its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting: Material weakness: we did not maintain effective controls over certain aspects of the financial reporting process because we lacked a sufficient complement of personnel with a level of accounting expertise and an adequate supervisory review structure that is commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. Significant deficiency: Given our limited personnel, inadequate segregation of duties. Our small size and any future internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operation and access to capital. We have not performed an in-depth analysis to determine if historical un-discovered failures of internal controls exist, and may in the future discover areas of our internal control that need improvement.

 

Because the risk factors referred to above could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Our common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCQB) under the ticker symbol “NRTI”.  The following table shows, for the periods indicated, the high and low bid prices per share of our common stock as by OTC Bulletin Board.  Over-the-counter market quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. The market for the common stock has been sporadic and there have been long periods during which there were few, if any, transactions in the common stock and no reported quotations. Accordingly, reliance should not be placed on the quotes listed below, as the trades and depth of the market may be limited, and therefore, such quotes may not be a true indication of the current market value of our common stock.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read with the financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K and the information described under the captions “Business”, “Risk Factors ” and “Forward-Looking Statements ” above. The following discussion is intended to assist the reader in understanding and evaluating our financial position.

 

Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013:

 

Total revenues generated from the sales of Surgex™, Bikini Ready™, SlimTrim and Martha Stewart™ Essentials for the year ended December 31, 2014 totaled $1,991,688 an increase of 135% from the year ended December 31, 2013 which totaled $847,834.

 

At this stage in our development, revenues are not yet sufficient to cover ongoing operating expenses.

 

Gross profits for the year ended December 31, 2014 amounted to $520,354 for a 26% gross margin. Gross profits increased $275,526 or 113% for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $244,828 for the year ended December 31, 2013 with a 29% gross profit margin in 2013. The increase in gross profits and gross margin is a result of higher revenue from more brands with more retail distribution.

 

After deducting research and development costs of $23,944 and selling, general and administrative expenses of $7,419,867, which included an increase of $972,882 in non-cash outlays in the form of restricted stock issued for compensation, we realized an operating loss of $6,923,457. Operating losses for 2014 of $6,923,457 were up $632,524 or 10% as compared to the 2013 operating loss of $6,290,933. The overall increase was offset by approximately $323,139 decrease due to lower outside consulting fees for pro athletes and $263,314 for other experts in mass market distribution. The license expense increased approximately $379,104 compared to 2013, since 2014 was the first full year of a license agreement with minimum royalty payments. Promotion and marketing expense for the brands increased approximately $331,898 due to increase awareness. Warrant expense decreased approximately $175,000.

 

Other income and expense, net totaled $1,568,704 for the year ended December 31, 2014 an increase of 26% or $320,100 as compared to $1,248,604 for the year ended December 31, 2013. A net gain of $46,978 was realized in connection with debt restructuring which occurred in 2013 versus zero in 2014. In 2014 there was a gain on the fair market valuation of the derivatives in the amount of $1,167,000 versus a loss of $91,000 in 2013. These income items are offset by losses and expenses in regards to the amortization of debt discount which is $1,373,143 in 2014 an increase of $928,693 from $444,450 in 2013 due to the additional debt issued in 2014 with associated origination fees. There was a loss from the extinguishment of debt in the amount of $176,496 in 2014 versus zero in 2013. There was a loss from warrants and derivatives issued with debt greater than the carrying value in the amount of $185,000 in 2014 versus zero in 2013. Interest and financing expense was $1,001,065 in 2014 increased by $240,933 from $760,132 in 2013 due to the addition debt issued in 2014. 

 

We sold the net operating loss carry forward for the State of New Jersey in the Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program. We were approved to sell $375,645 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The proceeds were collected in January 2015 net of fees. We were approved to sell $3,357,144 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The proceeds were collected in January 2014 net of fees.

 

Preferred dividends of $1,371,006 for the year ended December 31, 2014 decreased 12% or $189,194 as compared to $1,560,200 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease was due to the lower price of the common stock which the preferred shares are convertible into.

 

The net result for the year ended December 31, 2014 was a loss of $9,489,022 or $0.11 per share, compared to a loss of $5,748,092 or $0.10 per share for the prior year. Management will continue to make an effort to lower operating expenses and increase revenue. We will continue to invest in further expanding our operations and a comprehensive marketing campaign with the goal of accelerating the education of potential clients and promoting our name and products. Given the fact that most of the operating expenses are fixed or have quasi-fixed character management expects them to significantly decrease as a percentage of revenues as revenues increase.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our consolidated condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this filing.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our future success is dependent upon our ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities, and upon additional financing.  Management believes, but cannot assure, that they can raise the appropriate funds needed to support our business plan and develop an operating, cash flow positive company. We have been operating with negative cash flows for over 12 years.

 

We incurred substantial net losses for the year ended December 31, 2014 and have accumulated a deficit of $92,855,018 at December 31, 2014. We have not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund our ongoing operations. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support our operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have never reported Net Income.

 

The consolidated financial statements included herein do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Our business operations generally have been financed by debt investments through promissory notes with accredited investors.  During the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we obtained new debt from the issuance of promissory notes that supplied the funds that were needed to finance operations during the reporting period. The new issuance of debt requires conversion of existing debt which may not be able to convert on favorable terms. Such new borrowings resulted in the receipt by us of $3,060,030 and $3,331,688, respectively.  While these funds sufficed to compensate for the negative cash flow from operations they were not sufficient to build up a liquidity reserve.  As a result, our financial position at December 31, 2014 showed a working capital deficit of $10,628,954.  During the first three months of 2015, we obtained new financing sufficient to fund ongoing working capital requirements.  We need to continue to raise funds to cover working capital requirements until we are able to raise revenues to a point of positive cash flow. For the period January 1, 2015 through April 7, 2015, we obtained new debt from the issuance of promissory notes that supplied the funds that were needed to finance operations during the that period. The recent issuance of the Debentures to Union Capital, LLC, 31 Group, LLC and Macallan Partners, LLC requires conversion of existing debt which may not be able to convert on favorable terms. Such new borrowings resulted in the receipt by us of approximately $335,000.

Pursuant to our license agreement with Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. (“MSLO”), we are required to make minimum royalty payments totaling $2,100,000, $2,700,000, $3,200,000 and $3,800,000 for each of the years ended 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively. We have made all requisite royalties payments through June 2014. We were not able to make the payment that was due July 1, 2014 in the amount of $450,000 nor payment due January 1, 2015 in the amount of $525,000 or the payment due April 1, 2015 in the amount of $525,000. We are in discussions with MSLO to work out terms of payment. If we are unable to come to acceptable terms, we would be in default of the terms of the license agreement.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Management of the Company has evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as a result of the material weakness and significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, as of the December 31, 2014, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that the information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 based on the 1992 framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based on the evaluation, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

 

A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, that adversely affects the entity’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the entity’s financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal control. A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Management identified the following material weakness and significant deficiency in its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014:

 

·Material weakness: The Company did not maintain effective controls over certain aspects of the financial reporting process because we lacked a sufficient complement of personnel with a level of accounting expertise and an adequate supervisory review structure that is commensurate with the Company’s financial reporting requirements.
·Significant deficiency: Inadequate segregation of duties

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

Management of the Company has evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, any change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2014. There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in that evaluation that occurred during the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting, other than what has been reported above.

Report Of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Inergetics, Inc. and Subsidiary

 

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Inergetics, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2014. Inergetics, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audits 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 company’s 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Inergetics, Inc. as of December 31, 2014, and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements for December 31, 2014 have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred substantial accumulated deficits and operating losses and has a working capital deficiency of $10,628,954. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also discussed in Note 2. The consolidated 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 might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization and business

 

Millennium was incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 9, 2000 and is located in New Jersey. Millennium is a research based bio-nutraceutical corporation involved in the field of nutritional science. Millennium’s principal source of revenue is from sales of its nutraceutical supplements.

 

On March 15, 2010 the Company changed its name to Inergetics, Inc. Inergetics, Inc. (the “Company” or "Inergetics"), formerly Millennium Biotechnologies Group, Inc., which is the holding company for its subsidiary Millennium Biotechnologies, Inc. (the “Subsidiary” or "Millennium").

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2013 financial statements to conform to the consolidated 2014 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net losses or cash flows as previously reported.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with 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 as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates and judgments on our experience and on various assumptions we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase, including money market mutual funds, short-term time deposits, and government agency and corporate obligations, are classified as cash and cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from our customers and regularly adjusts credit limits of customers based upon payment history and a customer’s current credit worthiness, as judged by us. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Receivable from Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program

 

The receivable is from the Company selling the New Jersey State net operating loss carry forwards. The Company was able to transfer $375,645 of total available tax benefits of $375,645 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The receivable was collected on January 16, 2015. The Company was able to transfer $3,357,144 of total available tax benefits of $3,357,144 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The receivable was collected on January 23, 2014. The Company paid a fee of $33,808 and $302,143 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, in connection with the approval of the Tax Certificate Transfer Program.

Goodwill

 

Goodwill and other acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually and when an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is more likely than not that an impairment may exist. Our annual testing date is December 31. We test goodwill for impairment by first comparing the carrying value of net assets to the fair value of the related operations. If the fair value is determined to be less than carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment. In this process, a fair value for goodwill is estimated, based in part on the fair value of the operations, and is compared to its carrying value. The shortfall of the fair value below carrying value represents the amount of goodwill impairment. Intangibles consist of brand and trade names acquired in business combinations. We test these intangibles for impairment by comparing their carrying value to current projections of discounted cash flows attributable to the brand and trade names. Any excess carrying value over the amount of discounted cash flows represents the amount of the impairment. At the conclusion of our test the Company has realized that there has not been any impairment.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation, which includes amortization of assets under capital leases, is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: 3-8 years for machinery and equipment, leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the underlying lease term. Repairs and maintenance expenditures which do not extend the useful lives of related assets are expensed as incurred. As of December 31 2014 and 2013, all property and equipment has been fully depreciated.

 

Patents

 

Patents are capitalized and amortized over 240 months. Amortization expense was $1,576 and $1,551 for 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are assessed for recoverability on an ongoing basis as impairment indicators arise. In evaluating the fair value and future benefits of long-lived assets, their carrying value would be reduced by the excess, if any, of the long-lived asset over management’s estimate of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows of the related long-lived asset.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized net of discounts, rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments and estimated returns and upon transfer of title and risk to the customer which generally occurs at shipping (F.O.B. terms). Upon shipment, the Company has no further performance obligations and collection is reasonably assured as the majority of sales are paid for prior to shipping.

 

Discounts are reductions to invoiced amounts offered to customers for payment within a specified period and are estimated upon sale utilizing historic customer payment experience.

 

Consistent with industry practice, the Company maintains a return policy that allows customers to return product within a specified period prior and subsequent to the expiration date. The Company’s estimate of the provision for returns is generally based upon historic experience with actual returns.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued

 

Price adjustments, which include shelf stock adjustments, are credits issued to reflect decreases in the selling prices of products. Shelf stock adjustments are based upon the amount of product which the customer has remaining in its inventory at the time of the price reduction. Decreases in selling prices are discretionary decisions made by the Company to reflect market conditions. Amounts recorded for estimated price adjustments are based upon specified terms with direct customers, estimated launch dates of competing products, estimated declines in market price and, in the case of shelf stock adjustments, estimates of inventory held by the customer.

 

Certain retailers require guaranteed sales. Revenue is recognized as sales are made to the retail consumer.

 

Advertising costs

 

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising expense was $31,243 and $8,157 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Shipping costs of $130,581 and $43,299 are included in cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Handling costs of $112,005 and $44,467 are included in general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Stock and Warrant Based Compensation

 

Stock and warrant based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period of the grant). Compensation expense is recognized based on the estimated grant date fair value method using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company account for the issuance of stock and warrants for services based on the estimated fair value of options and warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model. This model’s calculations include the exercise price, the market price of shares on grant date, weighted average assumptions for risk-free interest rates, expected life of the warrant, expected volatility of our stock and expected dividend yield. The amounts recorded in the financial statements for share-based expense could vary significantly based on the subjective assumptions used in the pricing model.

 

We account for the issuance of stock and warrants for services from non-employees based on an estimate of the fair value of warrants issued using the Black-Scholes pricing model. This model’s calculations include the exercise price, the market price of shares on grant date, weighted average assumptions for risk-free interest rates, expected life of the warrant, expected volatility of our stock and expected dividend yield. The amounts recorded in the financial statements for share-based expense could vary significantly if we were to use different assumptions.

 

The Company issued 2,500,000 warrants, during the year ended December 31, 2014 for an expense of $25,000 and 1,140,000 warrants, that vested over three years, for an expense of $206,700 during the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company did not issue any stock options during the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Income Taxes

 

The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expenses are expected to be settled in the Company’s income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating losses for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax assets for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic and diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Potential common shares used in computing diluted earnings per share related to stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible debt which, if exercised, would have an anti- dilutive effect on earnings per share, and there for have not been included, Anti-dilutive securities not included in net loss per share calculations for the years presented include:

 

   December 31, 
   2014   2013 
Potentially dilutive securities:          
Convertible debt and accrued interest   390,211,843    10,751,345 
Liability of shares to be issued   4,314,380    3,330,000 
Convertible Preferred stock   154,555,045    49,713,545 
Outstanding time-based warrants   21,292,144    19,323,406 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures and discloses the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy prescribed by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy has three levels, which are based on reliable available inputs of observable data. The hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

 

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

 

Level 3 – fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

For financial instruments including cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, short-term debt, accounts payable and accrued expenses, it was assumed that the carrying values approximated fair value because of their short-term maturities.

 

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial statement. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

2. GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities, and upon additional financing.  Management believes they can raise the appropriate funds needed to support their business plan and develop an operating, cash flow positive company.

 

However the Company has incurred substantial net losses for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and has accumulated a deficit of approximately $93 million at December 31, 2014 and $85 million at December 31, 2013. The Company has not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund its ongoing operations. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support its operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

3. BUSINESS ACQUISITION

 

On January 9, 2013 (the “Acquisition date”), the Company entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which it acquired, through its Millennium Biotechnologies, Inc. wholly-owned subsidiary, the trademark of Bikini Ready® and the brand SlimTrim™. Under the agreement the Company acquired the URL’s, formula and customer list. Under the terms of this agreement the Company paid $100,000 cash and 8,000 shares of Series G preferred stock valued at $140,000.

 

The transaction was accounted for as a purchase business combination. We account for business combinations in accordance with the acquisition method. The acquisition method of accounting requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at their fair values on the date of a business acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. Certain adjustments to the assessed fair values of the assets and liabilities made subsequent to the acquisition date, but with the measurement period, which is up to one year, are recorded as adjustments to goodwill. Any adjustments subsequent to the measurement period are recorded in income. Our consolidated financial statements and results of operations reflect an acquired business from the completion date of an acquisition. The results from operations for the period from acquisition date to December 31, 2013 have been included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Pro forma information with respect to the acquisition are not included in these financial statements as the information is not material.

 

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, intangible assets are recorded at fair values as of the date of the transaction. The Company’s allocation to identifiable intangible assets and liabilities according to their respective fair values, is as follows:

 

Intangible assets, trademarks  $100,000 
Intangible assets, customer list   5,000 
Goodwill   135,000 
Purchase Price  $240,000

Inergetics, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Intangible assets with estimated useful lives are amortized over a 5 year period. The goodwill is not amortized for financial statement purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

4. CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK

 

The Company maintains cash balances in several financial institutions which currently are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Balances in these accounts may, at times, exceed the federally insured limits.

 

The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to customers and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, two significant customers (defined as contributing at least 10%) accounted for 36% (19%, and 17%) of net sales. For the year ended December 31, 2013, three significant customers (defined as contributing at least 10%) accounted for 55% (31%, 13%, and 11%) of net sales. The loss of any of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

5. INVENTORIES

9. INCOME TAX

 

The Company has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company does not believe it has any tax positions that should not be recognized under FASB ASC 740-10.

 

The reconciliation of the effective income tax rate to the Federal statutory rate is as follows:

 

   2014   2013 
Federal Income Tax Rate   (34.0)%   (34.0)%
State Income Tax, Net of Federal Benefit   (5.94)%   (5.94)%
Change in valuation allowance   39.94%   39.94%
Sale of New Jersey NOL   (4.40)%   (46.0)%
Effective Income Tax Rate   (4.40)%   (46.0)%

 

As of December 31, 2014, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $65,000,000 that can be utilized to offset future taxable income for Federal income tax purposes through 2031. Net operating loss carry forwards expire starting in 2024 through 2032. Utilization of these net loss carry forwards is subject to the limitations of Internal Revenue Code Section 382.  Because of the current uncertainty of realizing the benefit of the tax carry forward, a valuation allowance equal to the tax benefit for deferred taxes has been established.

 

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequence of such temporary differences at the enacted tax rate expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. Because of the current uncertainty of realizing the benefit of the tax carry forward, a valuation allowance equal to the tax benefit for deferred taxes has been established. The full realization of the tax benefit associated with the carry forward depends predominantly upon the Company's ability to generate taxable income during the carry forward period.

Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are summarized as follows:

 

   December 31, 
   2014   2013 
Deferred tax assets   26,899,000    23,165,000 
Less: Valuation Allowance   (26,899,000)   (23,165,000)

The Company’s deferred income tax valuation allowance increased by $3,734,000 to $26,899,000 as of December 31 2014.

(a)         Holders of G Preferred (“Holders”) shall be entitled to receive in shares of G Preferred, and the Company shall pay in G Preferred, cumulative dividends on the G Preferred at the rate per share (as a percentage of the Stated Value per share) of 10% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears commencing on September 30, 2011 and thereafter on each December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30, except if such date is not a Business Day, in which case such dividend shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day (each, a “Dividend Payment Date”). A Business Day as used herein shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which national banks in New Jersey are not open for business. Dividends on the G Preferred shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, shall accrue daily commencing on the date of issuance of the G Preferred, and shall be deemed to accrue from such date whether or not earned or declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Company legally available for the payment of dividends.

 

 
 

 

(b)         The number of shares of G Preferred to be issued for such dividend shall be equal to the following: the number of Series G shares owned by such holder on the Dividend Payment Date multiplied by a fraction (x) the numerator of which is 2.5% of the quotient obtained from dividing the Stated Value by 90% of the arithmetic average of the closing prices for the Company’s Common Stock (“Common Stock”) for each of the 10 Trading Days ending immediately preceding the applicable Dividend Payment Date and (y) the denominator of which is the quotient obtained from dividing the Stated Value by the Conversion Rate. A Trading Day as used herein means any day during which the Principal Trading Market shall be open for business and the Principal Trading Market means the OTC Bulletin Board or such other market on which the Common Stock is principally traded at the relevant time. Such shares shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and free and clear of all encumbrances.

 

(2)         Distribution of Assets Upon Liquidation. In the event the Company shall be liquidated, dissolved or wound up (each, a “Liquidation Event”), whether voluntarily or involuntarily, each Holder of shares of G Preferred, shall be entitled to receive and to be paid out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment or distribution shall be made on the Common Stock or on any other class of stock ranking junior to the G Preferred upon a Liquidation Event, an amount equal to the Stated Value per share and, thereafter, to share ratably in the proceeds available along with the holders of shares of Common Stock and any other share of stock entitled to payment upon a Liquidation Event.

 

(3)         Voting Rights. Each Holder of outstanding shares of G Preferred shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of G Preferred held by such Holder would then be convertible (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section I.B(4) hereof), at each meeting of the stockholders of the Company (and written actions of stockholders in lieu of meetings) with respect to any and all matters presented to the stockholders of the Company for their action or consideration (including without limitation, any matter voted on together with the holders of Common Stock). Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares of G Preferred will not have voting rights unless and to the extent that the holdings of G Preferred results in the Holder thereof and its Affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Act) and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), having greater than 9.99% of the voting power of the Company’s voting securities. For purposes of this subsection, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Holder may waive the voting limitation described in this Section I.B (3), in whole or in part, upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice to the Company. Except as provided by law, by any of the provisions contained herein or by the provisions establishing any other series of stock, Holders of G Preferred shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class.

(4)         Conversion of G Preferred.

 

(a) At the option of the Holder, at any time after issuance, each share of G Preferred may be converted into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as follows (the “Conversion Rate”): $50.00 divided by the VWAP (as defined below) of the Company’s Common Stock for the ten trading day period commencing on the fifth trading day after the date of the public announcement of the “Transactions” (as defined below) in a Current Report on Form 8-K (or other applicable form). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Conversion Rate shall not result in the issuance of more than 625 shares of Common Stock or less than 250 shares of Common Stock per share of Series G, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section I.B(4). “VWAP” (volume weighted average price) means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (i) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a National Securities Exchange (an “Exchange”) as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Exchange as reported by Bloomberg L.P., (ii) if the Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the OTC Bulletin Board, (iii) if the Common Stock is not then quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by Pink OTC Markets, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (iv) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by holders of a majority of principal amount of the outstanding 30 month Secured Promissory Notes of the Company initially issued effective February 3, 2011 and reasonably acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares of G Preferred may not be converted unless and to the extent that, as a result of such conversion the Holder thereof and its Affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Act) and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act would (i) own in excess of 9.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock or (ii) have greater than 9.99% of the voting power of the Company’s voting securities. For purposes of this subsection, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Holder may waive the conversion limitation described in this Section I.B (4), in whole or in part, upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice to the Company.

 

(b)         No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of shares of G Preferred; instead, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole number.

 

3
 

 

(c)         Adjustments of Conversion Rate for Stock Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidation of Common Stock, Consolidations and Mergers, and upon Issuance of Common Stock.

 

(i)          If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or by a subdivision or split-up of shares of Common Stock, then on the date such payment is made or such change is effective, the Conversion Rate of the G Preferred shall be increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of any shares of the G Preferred shall be increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares.

 

(ii)         If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then on the effective date of such combination, the Conversion Rate for each share of G Preferred shall be decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of shares of the G Preferred shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

 

(iii)        In the case of the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another person (other than a consolidation or merger pursuant to which the holders of the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation or merger hold equity securities representing a majority of the voting power of the Company or surviving entity immediately following such consolidation or merger), on the effective date of such consolidation or merger (the “Effective Date”), the Conversion Rate and/or the securities to be received upon conversion of each share of G Preferred shall be adjusted so the number of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such Holder of G Preferred would have been entitled upon the Effective Date as if the Holder had converted the G Preferred immediately prior thereto.

 

4
 

 

(iv)        If at any time, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section I.B(4)(c)(iv) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock, with the exception of Excluded Stock (as defined below), for a consideration per share (the “New Securities Issuance Price”) less than the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such time (each such sale or issuance, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then concurrent with such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Rate then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Securities Issuance Price. “Excluded Stock” means the issuance of Common Stock (a) upon exercise or conversion of any options or other securities outstanding or pursuant to written contracts or agreements as of July 14, 2011 (provided that such exercise, conversion or issuance occurs in accordance with the terms thereof, without amendment or modification), (b) the issuance of Common Stock or grant of options to employees, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to a stock option plan or other stock plan duly approved by the Company’s stockholder and adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors, (c) the issuance of Common Stock or grant of options in exchange for the fair value of services provided to the Company by sales or marketing consultants pursuant to written agreements duly approved by the Company’s Board of Directors including a majority of the Company’s independent directors, (d) the issuance of any securities pursuant to the transactions (the “Transactions”) described in a “July 14, 2011 Summary of Debt Reorganization and Financing”, a copy of which is available from the Company, including, but not limited to, Common Stock as interest under certain Notes, dividends payable on G Preferred, equity securities (including preferred stock) and other securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock or other securities (that are convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock) (e) pursuant to a Strategic Financing (as defined below), or (f) the issuance of any G Preferred (or the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion thereof or dividends thereon). A “Strategic Financing" means the issuance of Common Stock or any right to acquire Common Stock in connection with any acquisition by the Company or its subsidiary, Millennium Biotechnologies, Inc. (“MBI”), by whatever means, of any business, assets or technologies, or, with regard to the Company or MBI, to any vendor, customer, lease or similar arrangement, the primary purpose of which is not to raise funds. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Rate under this Section I.B(4)(c)(iv), the following shall be applicable:

 

(x)          If the Company in any manner issues or sells any securities or instruments of debt or equity convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock or any combination thereof other than Excluded Stock (“Convertible Securities”) and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance of sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section I.B(4)(c)(iv), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Securities and upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment of the Conversion Rate shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.

 

(y)          If any Common Stock or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the gross amount received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the arithmetic average of the closing price of such securities during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date of receipt of such securities. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined by the Company in good faith.

(d)         In the event any shares of G Preferred shall be converted pursuant to this Section I.B(4) or otherwise reacquired by the Company, the shares so converted or reacquired shall, absent a determination to the contrary by the Board, be canceled, may not be reissued as G Preferred and shall revert to the status of authorized but unissued and undesignated shares of Preferred Stock and may be redesignated and reissued.

 

(5)         Reservation of Shares. The Company shall, so long as any of shares of G Preferred are outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, a sufficient number of shares for the purpose of effecting conversion of such shares of G Preferred.

 

(6)         Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate representing the shares of G Preferred and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the certificate, the Company shall execute and deliver a new preferred stock certificate of like tenor and date.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock to be duly executed by its Chief Executive Officer and attested to by its Secretary on this 10th day of February, 2014.

Exhibit 4.1

 

No. ___

 

NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SHARES INTO WHICH THEY MAY BE CONVERTED HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE, AND ARE ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT (i) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND (ii) IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Inergetics, Inc., (“Debtor”) hereby promises to pay to the order of ______________________ (Holder), at ________________ (or such other place as Holder may direct from time to time), whose fax no. is _____________________, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal amount of ______________________ ($___________) and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon on December 31, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

This Note is one of a series of Secured Convertible Promissory Notes DUE December 31, 2013 (the “Notes”) being issued pursuant to a plan of financing and debt restructuring (the “Transactions”) as set forth in the Summary Of Debt Reorganization and Financing dated July 14, 2011 (the “Summary”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex B. All of the Notes are secured by a first lien and security interest in substantially all of the assets of Debtor and Millennium Biotechnologies, Inc. (“Guarantor”), pari passu with certain other secured debt set forth in the Security Agreement among Debtor, Guarantor and the Collateral Agent (as defined below) (“Security Agreement”). Holder of this Note, by acceptance of this Note, and the holders of the other Notes, by their acceptance of such Notes, have designated Ken Sadowsky, Leon Frenkel and Seahorse Enterprises LLC (i) as their representative (the “Noteholder Representative”), for purposes of declaring a default (and enforcement of all rights) under this Note and the other Notes; and (ii) as Collateral Agent under the terms of the Security Agreement.

 

1.            Interest. Interest shall be computed on the unpaid principal amount at the per annum rate of ten percent (10%); provided, in the event of the Declaration of Default as defined hereunder, the principal balance shall bear interest from the date of such Declaration until the date of actual payment at the per annum rate of fifteen percent (15%). All interest payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed and a year of 360 days.

 

2.            Installment Payments. Installment payments of interest on the outstanding principal shall be paid as follows: semi-annually in shares of common stock of Debtor (the “Common Stock”) valued at 90% of the average of the last ten Trading Day closing price per share prior to the interest due date (each, an “Interest Due Date”). Installment interest payments are payable commencing November 1, 2011 and on May 1 and November 1 of each year thereafter. Once Debtor achieves $1,000,000 in “Net Income” in any 12 month period, it will start to repay outstanding principal at the rate of 2.5% per quarter. “Net Income” means Sales, less (i) Cost of Goods Sold, (ii) Selling, General and Administrative Expenses and (iii) Interest Expense. All unpaid principal and accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.

 

 
 

 

3.            Prepayment. Debtor may, from time to time, prepay all or any portion of this Note without the prior consent of Holder upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice.

 

4.            Guaranty. Payment in full of this Note in accordance with its terms is guaranteed by Guarantor.

 

5.            Conversion.

 

(a) Conversion. At any time after the Original Issue Date until this Note is no longer outstanding, the outstanding principal amount of this Note and any accrued but unpaid interest shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the option of Holder, at any time and from time to time. Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to Debtor a notice of conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the amount of principal and accrued but unpaid interest of this Note to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. To effect conversions hereunder, Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to Debtor unless the entire principal amount of this Note has been so converted. Conversions of principal hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. Holder and Debtor shall maintain records showing the principal and interest amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s), which records shall be reconciled by Debtor and Holder in writing (by facsimile, e-mail or other written form) after each such conversion. Debtor may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within one (1) Business Day of delivery of such Notice of Conversion. Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of the principal of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

2
 

 

(b) Conversion Price. The conversion price for conversion of principal in effect on any Conversion Date (the “Conversion Price”) per share, subject to adjustment as provided below, shall be the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock for the ten Trading Day period commencing on the fifth trading day after the date of the first public announcement of the Transactions described in the Summary in a Current Report on Form 8-K (or other applicable form). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Conversion Price (after taking into account the one-for-eighty reverse-split of the Common Stock approved in May 2011) shall not be greater than $0.2 nor less than $0.08. “VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a National Securities Exchange (an “Exchange”) as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Exchange as reported by Bloomberg L.P., (b) if the Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the OTC Bulletin Board, (c) if the Common Stock is not then quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by Pink OTC Markets, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by holders of a majority of principal amount of the outstanding Notes and reasonably acceptable to the Company. Computation of the amount of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of any accrued but unpaid interest shall be made in the same manner as installment payments of interest are calculated in Section 2 above utilizing the most recently passed Interest Due Date.

 

(c) Mechanics of Conversion.

 

(i)             Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Principal hereunder shall equal the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Note to be converted by (x) the Conversion Price. Such number, plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of accrued but unpaid interest in accordance with Section 5(b) above, the “Conversion Shares”.

 

(ii)            Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than ten (10) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), Debtor shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Note. “Trading Day” means a day on which the principal Trading Market is open for business, and, if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on a Trading Market, Trading Day shall mean a Business Day. “Trading Market” means the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the NYSE Amex, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the New York Stock Exchange, the OTC Bulletin Board or the Pink Sheets. “Business Day” means any day except Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in the City of New York are authorized or required by law to remain closed.

 

(iii)           Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. Debtor covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than Holder, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 6) upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note. Debtor covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

3
 

 

(iv)          Fractional Shares. Debtor shall not be required to issue fractions of shares upon conversion hereunder. If any fraction of a share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable upon conversion hereunder, Debtor shall issue one whole share in lieu of such fraction.

 

(v)            Transfer Taxes. Debtor will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of this Note; provided, however, that Debtor shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates for Conversion Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder of this Note in respect of which such shares are issued. Holder shall be responsible for income taxes due under federal or state law, if any such tax is due.

 

(d) Certain Conversion Restrictions. The number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by Holder upon any conversion of the principal amount of the Note shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such conversion, the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by Holder and its Affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act, does not exceed 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion) or provide Holder with greater than 9.99% of the voting power of Debtor’s voting securities. For such purposes, the beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of a Conversion Notice hereunder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it has evaluated the limitations set forth in this Section 5(d) and has determined that issuance of the full number of the Conversion Shares issuable in respect of such Conversion Notice does not violate the restrictions contained in this Section 5(d). Holder may waive the conversion limitation described in this Section 5(d), in whole or in part, upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice to Debtor.

 

6.            Conversion Price Adjustments. The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 6.

 

(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If Debtor, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 6(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this Section 6(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

 

4
 

 

(b)         Antidilution Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. If at any time this Note is outstanding, Debtor issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 6(b) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock, with the exception of Excluded Stock (as defined below), for a consideration per share (the “New Securities Issuance Price”) less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such time (each such sale or issuance, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then concurrent with such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Securities Issuance Price. “Excluded Stock” means the issuance of Common Stock (a) upon exercise or conversion of any options, warrants or other securities outstanding or pursuant to written contracts or agreements as of the date of this Note (provided that such exercise, conversion or issuance occurs in accordance with the terms thereof, without amendment or modification), (b) the issuance of Common Stock or grant of options to employees, officers or directors of Debtor pursuant to a stock option plan or other stock plan duly approved by Debtor’s stockholders and adopted by Debtor’s Board of Directors, (c) the issuance of Common Stock or grant of options in exchange for the fair value of services provided to Debtor by sales or marketing consultants pursuant to written agreements duly approved by Debtor’s Board of Directors including a majority of Debtor’s independent directors (d) the issuance any securities pursuant to the Transactions as set forth in the Summary, including, but not limited to, the issuance of the Notes, Common Stock as interest under the Notes or dividends under preferred stock, equity securities (including preferred stock) and other securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock or other securities (that are convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock) or (e) pursuant to a Strategic Financing (as defined below). A “Strategic Financing" means the issuance of Common Stock or any right to acquire Common Stock in connection with any acquisition by Debtor or Guarantor, by whatever means, of any business, assets or technologies, or, with regard to Debtor or Guarantor, to any vendor, customer, lease or similar arrangement, the primary purpose of which is not to raise funds. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 6(b), the following shall be applicable:

 

(i)             Issuance of Convertible Securities. If Debtor in any manner issues or sells any securities or instruments of debt or equity convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock other than Excluded Stock (“Convertible Securities”) and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by Debtor at the time of the issuance of sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 6(b)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by Debtor with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.

 

5
 

 

(ii)            Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the gross amount received by Debtor therefor. If any Common Stock or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by Debtor will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by Debtor will be the arithmetic average of the closing price of such securities during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date of receipt of such securities. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by Debtor and Collateral Agent (the “Required Holders”) in good faith. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser selected by Debtor and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne equally by Debtor and the Required Holders.

 

7.            Default.

 

  (a)        Events of Default. The occurrence or existence of any one or more of the following events are referred to herein individually as an “Event of Default”, and collectively as “Events of Default”:

 

(i)       Debtor fails to pay any amount due hereunder which default continues uncured for more than five (5) business days following the due date thereof;

 

(ii)      Debtor or Guarantor dissolves or suspends or discontinues doing business or becomes unable, or admits in writing its inability, to pay its debts as they mature;

Summary Of Debt Reorganization and Financing

 

Inergetics, Inc.

 

July 14, 2011

 

Introduction: As of June 30, 2011, Inergetics, Inc. including its wholly-owned subsidiary, Millennium Biotechnologies, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”) had approximately $6,253,5241 in secured debt, including principal, interest and penalties, all of which is in default, and approximately $2,054,000 in unsecured debt, including principal, interest and penalties, most of which is in default. The Company needs to substantially reduce or eliminate this debt and raise new capital to move forward with its business plan, sustain day to day business operations and fund revenue growth. As discussed below in “Funding Commitment”, the Company has obtained a commitment for up to $2,000,000 in new capital (the “Funding Commitment”) from Seahorse Enterprises LLC (the “Principal Investor”). The Funding Commitment is subject to the terms and conditions described below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as discussed below, the Company already has received an advance of $700,000 of the Funding Commitment and may receive additional advances of the Funding Commitment at the sole discretion of the Principal Investor (the foregoing advances collectively, the “Commitment Advance”).

 

A summary of the details and requirements to complete the various aspects of the debt conversion and new funding to be effective (the “Transactions”) are as follows:

 

Bridge Financing And Prior Debt Exchange:

 

The Company has issued Secured Promissory Notes due December 31, 2013 (the “First Position Bridge Notes”) effective as of February 3, 2011 to a group of investors consisting of Kenneth Sadowsky, one of the Company’s directors, the Principal Investor and the Primary Creditors (as defined below) (collectively, the “Investor Group”) for $450,000 received on February 3, 2011. The Company also has issued an additional First Position Bridge Note in the amount of $700,000 to the Principal Investor representing the aggregate amount of the Commitment Advance as of July 7, 2011.

 

 

1 All references to debt are as of a specified date. As interest and any other obligations under the debt will continue to accrue, the actual amount of any debt will increase with the passage of time unless and until such debt is converted to equity or paid off.

 

 
 

 

The First Position Bridge Notes bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum and are secured by a first priority lien and security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets including the assets of the Company’s subsidiary with the exception of accounts receivable which may be factored, subject to the approval of the Investor Group. The only debt that is pari passu to this first priority lien and security interest with regard to substantially all of the Company’s assets is debt pursuant to the Unit Notes (as defined below), debt in the original principal amount of $69,571 as of June 30, 2011 owed to the Primary Creditor. Debt in the original principal amount of $100,000 as of June 30, 2011 owed to the Principal Investor is pari passu with regard to one purchase order from May 2010. See the discussion below about Purchase Order/Payables Notes. Interest on the outstanding principal of the First Position Bridge Notes is payable semi-annually in shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) valued at 90% of the average of the last ten trading day closing price per share prior to the interest due date. All principal and unpaid accrued interest thereon will be due and payable on December 31, 2013. Notwithstanding the foregoing, once the Company achieves $1,000,000 in “Net Income” (as defined below in the “First Equity Offering”) in any consecutive 12 month period, the Company will start to repay outstanding principal at the rate of 2.5% per quarter. In addition, the holders have the right to convert the principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest under the First Position Bridge Notes into shares of Common Stock at the following rate (the “Conversion Price”) per share: the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s Common Stock for the ten trading day period commencing on the fifth trading day after the date of the first public announcement of the Transactions in a Current Report on Form 8-K (or other applicable form) (the “Transaction 8-K”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Conversion Price shall not be greater than $0.2 or less than $0.08. “VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a National Securities Exchange (an “Exchange”) as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Exchange as reported by Bloomberg L.P., (b) if the Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the OTC Bulletin Board, (c) if the Common Stock is not then quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by Pink OTC Markets, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by holders of a majority of principal amount of the outstanding First Position Bridge Notes and reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment for certain corporate events such as stock splits, dividend issuances and, subject to certain exceptions, issuances of shares of Common Stock (or instruments convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock) at a price below the then Conversion Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no conversion of the First Position Bridge Notes into shares of Common Stock can occur to the extent that, upon such conversion, the holder thereof and its affiliates would (i) own in excess of 9.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock or (ii) have greater than 9.99% of the voting power of the Company’s voting securities. For the purposes of this limitation on conversion, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

The Company also has issued First Position Bridge Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $825,000 to the Investor Group and an additional holder in exchange for all of the outstanding 24 month Secured Promissory Notes (the “August 2010 Secured Notes”) issued to them in August 2010, including all accrued but unpaid interest and any other sums due thereunder.

 

As a result of the foregoing, as of July 7, 2011, there are outstanding First Position Bridge Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,975,000 (plus accrued interest and other obligations thereon). In addition, the Company will be issuing additional First Position Bridge Notes in the event the Principal Investor makes any Commitment Advance in the future.

Issuance Of Equity In Exchange For Other Debt And Fund Raising:

 

The Company has designated 200,000 shares of its authorized but unissued and undesignated preferred stock as Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (the “G Preferred”). The G Preferred has a per share stated value of $50.00 (the “Stated Value”) and is convertible into Common Stock at the following rate (the “Conversion Rate”) per share of G Preferred: $50.00 divided by the VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock for the ten trading day period commencing on the fifth trading day after the date of the filing of the Transaction 8-K. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Conversion Rate shall not result in the issuance of more than 625 shares of Common Stock or less than 250 shares of Common Stock per share of Series G. The G Preferred pays a dividend, quarterly, at an annual rate of 10% (as a percentage of the Stated Value per share) payable in G Preferred based on the equivalent of 90% of the average of the last ten trading day closing price of the Common Stock prior to the dividend payment date. In other words, the holders of Series G will receive on September 30, 2011 and thereafter on each December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30 as dividend such number of shares of Series G as equal to the number of Series G shares owned by such holder multiplied by a fraction (x) the numerator of which is 2.5% of the quotient obtained from dividing the Stated Value by 90% of the arithmetic average of the closing prices for the Common Stock for each of the 10 Trading Days ending immediately preceding the applicable Dividend Payment Date Value and (y) the denominator of which is the quotient obtained from dividing Stated Value by the Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate is subject to adjustment for certain corporate events such as stock splits, dividend issuances and, subject to certain exceptions, issuances of shares of Common Stock (or instruments convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock) at a price below the then Conversion Rate. The G Preferred has a liquidation preference before any payment or distribution on the Common Stock or on any other class of stock ranking junior to the G Preferred up to the Stated Value and, thereafter, shares ratably in the proceeds available along with the holders of shares of Common Stock and any other share of stock entitled to payment upon liquidation. The holders of G Preferred vote along with the holders of Common Stock, and are entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the G Preferred would then be convertible. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) shares of G Preferred will not have voting rights to the extent that the beneficial ownership of G Preferred results in the holder thereof and its affiliates, having greater than 9.99% of the voting power of the Company’s voting securities and (ii) shares of G Preferred will not be convertible if, upon such conversion, the holder thereof and its affiliates would (x) own in excess of 9.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock or (y) have greater than 9.99% of the voting power of the Company’s voting securities. For the purposes of this limitation on voting and conversion, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

First Equity Offering:

 

The Company was going to raise up to $700,000 from the sale of G Preferred at $50.00 per share from “Accredited Investors” as that term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “First Equity Offering”). To the extent that the Company was unable to raise $700,000, the Principal Investor agreed to purchase the balance of the G Preferred in the First Equity Offering out of the Funding Commitment, which amount would include $700,000 of the Commitment Advance made as of the date hereof, including Commitment Advance which have been converted into the First Position Bridge Notes. The Principal Investor has advanced all $700,000, so there will not be a First Equity Offering. However, the Principal Investor will convert this $700,000 of Commitment Advances into G Preferred in accordance with the terms of the First Equity Offering once the following conditions (the “First Equity Offering Conditions”) have been met:

 

3
 

 

(i)Unsecured Debt Exchange For Common Stock: The holders of at least 80% of the Company’s unsecured debt (excluding (a) trade payables and (b) an aggregate, as of June 30, 2011, of approximately $645,711 of unsecured debt owed to Ventiv Commercial Services, LLC and four other debt holders) shall exchange their debt for shares of Common Stock at a rate equal to 176% of the Conversion Price of the First Position Bridge Notes (the “Unsecured Debt Exchange”). As of June 30, 2011, such unsecured debt (exclusive of the trade payables and the $645,711 of excluded unsecured debt) totaled approximately $1,407,668.

 

(ii)Secured Unit Note Debt Exchange for G Preferred: The holders of at least 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding Secured Unit Notes issued in late 2009 and early 2010 (the “Unit Notes”), excluding the debt under Unit Notes owned by the Primary Creditors (as defined below) who together are the holders of the largest amount of the Unit Notes, shall have irrevocably committed to exchange their Unit Notes for shares of G Preferred on the terms set forth below (the “Unit Note Debt Exchange”). Such exchanges would occur as follows: 35% of a holder’s Unit Notes would be exchanged and extinguished if and when all of the First Equity Offering Conditions have been met. If and when the Company raises an aggregate of at least $1,300,000 from the Second Equity Offering (discussed below), the balance (65%) of the Unit Notes debt would be exchanged and extinguished. In the event that the Company does not raise at least $1,300,000 in the Second Equity Offering on or prior to October 31, 2011, the balance of such Unit Notes debt would not be exchanged or extinguished and the Unit Notes representing such amount would be returned to the holders thereof. The Unit Note Debt Exchange will be at a rate of one share of G Preferred per $73.50 of principal and accrued interest being exchanged. However, any holder of Unit Notes that separately participates and invests in the Second Equity Offering an amount equal to at least 25% of the principal amount of such holder’s Unit Notes, shall be entitled to a reduced exchange rate for such holder’s Unit Notes of one share of G Preferred per $50.00 of debt. As of June 30, 2011, all amounts due under such outstanding Unit Notes (other than those held by the Primary Creditors) was approximately $1,969,429. For information on the conversion of Unit Notes owned by the Primary Creditors, see Conversion of Remaining Secured Debt below.

 

(iii)CEO Mark Mirken shall agree to forgive accrued salary as of December 31, 2010 in the amount of $165,882.

 

 

4
 

 

(iv)CEO Mark Mirken’s employment agreement shall have been amended (a) to reduce his salary to $175,000 per annum until the Company reaches three consecutive fiscal quarters of positive “Net Income” (defined as Sales less Cost of Goods Sold less Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, less Interest Expense) (the “First Net Income Milestone”), at which point his annual salary will increase to $240,000, (b) to eliminate the gross-up provisions with regards to any issuances to Mr. Mirken under the Management Warrant Grant Program (discussed below), (c) to provide for a bonus in the amount of $32,500 upon the Company achieving the First Net Income Milestone, and (d) to provide for an increase in his annual salary to $306,000 upon the Company achieving $1,000,000 of Net Income in any twelve consecutive calendar month period (the “Second Net Income Milestone”).

 

(v)CFO Michael James shall agree to convert his accrued salary of $100,000 into Common Stock at the Conversion Price.

 

(vi)CFO Michael James’ employment agreement shall have been amended (a) to reduce his salary to $150,000 per annum until the Company achieves the First Net Income Milestone, at which point his annual salary will increase to $200,000, (b) to provide for a bonus in the amount of $25,000 upon the Company achieving the First Net Income Milestone, (c) to eliminate the gross-up provisions with regards to any issuances to Mr. James under the Management Warrant Grant Program (discussed below), and (d) to provide for a bonus in the amount of $25,000 in Common Stock at the Conversion Price upon the consummation of the Unsecured Debt Exchange and the Unit Note Debt Exchange.

 

5
 

 

(vii)COO Frank Guarino’s employment agreement shall have been amended (a) to reduce his salary to $100,000 per annum until the Company achieves the First net Income Milestone, at which point his annual salary will increase to $150,000, (b) to provide for a bonus in the amount of $25,000 upon the Company achieving the First Net Income Milestone, and (c) to provide for an increase in his annual salary to $200,000 upon the Company achieving the Second Net Income Milestone.

 

(viii)The Principal Investor and the Primary Creditor shall have each been granted the right at any time after the later of January 15, 2012 or the date that the First Equity Offering Conditions have been met and for so long as any of the First Position Bridge Notes are outstanding, to: (a) require the Board of Directors to increase its number of members by one, and (b) select a nominee to fill such vacancy created by such increase; provided, each such nominee will be required to be vetted and approved by the Board of Directors in the Board’s sole discretion. As each of the Principal Investor and Primary Creditor have this right, it could mean the addition of two members of the Board of Directors.

 

(ix)The Company shall have entered into a consulting agreement with the Investor Group for their assistance in structuring the Transactions and providing for a fee of $360,000 upon consummation of the Transactions, payable in Common Stock based on the VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock for the ten trading day period commencing on the thirtieth calendar day after the Company effects the one-for-eighty Reverse Split approved by the Company’s Stockholders in March 2010 and announced to the public in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 7, 20112. This fee will be distributed as agreed among the Investor Group.

 

(x)Each of the members of the Investor Group shall have agreed that, after issuance of the First Position Bridge Notes and for as long as any First Position Bridge Notes are outstanding, such member (including any affiliates of such member) will not acquire or control more than forty percent (40%) of the outstanding voting power of the Company.

 

Second Equity Offering:

 

The Company will seek to raise up to an additional $2,300,000 from the sale of G Preferred at $50.00 per share from Accredited Investors in an equity offering of two tranches, the first of which will be for up to $650,000 and the second of which will be for up to an additional $1,650,000 (collectively, the “Second Equity Offering”). To the extent that the Company is unable to raise at least $650,000 in either tranche of the Second Equity Offering, the Principal Investor has agreed to purchase the balance of the G Preferred in such tranches of the Second Equity Offering from the Funding Commitment representing, in each instance, the difference between $650,000 and the amount raised.

 

 

2 In March 2010, the Company’s Stockholders empowered the Company’s Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of Common Stock to be at a ratio of not less than one-for-forty and not more than one-for-eighty. All references to shares of Common Stock in this Summary give retroactive effect to this reverse split

 

6
 

 

The Second Equity Offering will commence after the First Equity Offering Conditions have been met. However, closing of each tranche of the Second Equity Offering (and release of funds to the Company) is contingent upon at least one of the following conditions (each, an “Additional Equity Offering Condition”) being met: (a) the Company entering into new contracts for the Surgex and Resurgex products that are projected to generate revenues of at least $2,000,000 in a consecutive twenty-four month period, $750,000 of which is projected to be generated in the first twelve months, (b) the Company completing the development of the RTD (ready to drink), bars and pouches for Surgex for commercial sale, or (c) the Company completing the development of the RTD (ready to drink) for Surgex Active (low calorie version). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Principal Investor has the right to waive the occurrence of a second Additional Equity Offering Condition with regard to the closing of any part of the second tranche of the Second Equity Offering. For purposes of clarity, the closing of the first tranche of the Second Equity Offering is contingent upon one of the above three events occurring, and the closing of the second tranche is contingent upon the happening of at least one of the remaining two events (unless waived by the Principal Investor).

 

Funding Commitment:

 

The Company has obtained the Funding Commitment for up to $2,000,000 in new capital from the Principal Investor. As of July 7, 2011, the Principal Investor beneficially owned approximately 9% of the Company’s outstanding shares and approximately $1,366,670 of its debt. The Funding Commitment is subject to the terms and conditions described herein, including conversion of the Company’s debt in to equity as described above. Notwithstanding the foregoing conditions, the Company already received Commitment Advances of $700,000 and may receive additional Commitment Advances at the sole option of the Principal Investor. The Company issued First Position Bridge Notes as payment for the $700,000 of Commitment Advances, and the Principal Investor has agreed to exchange these Bridge Notes and any Bridge Notes issued for additional Commitment Advances for shares of Series G in the Equity Offerings. However, if all of the First Equity Offering Conditions are not met, the Principal Investor has no further obligation under the Funding Commitment, and all funds advanced thereunder will remain secured debt of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Funding Commitment, the Principal Investor will exchange the $700,000 principal amount Bridge Notes in the First Equity Offering within three business days of the First Equity Offering Conditions being met. In addition, the Principal Investor is required to invest from the Funding Commitment the difference between $650,000 and the amount raised from other investors in each tranche of the Second Equity Offering within three business days of the condition to closing that tranche of the Second Equity Offering being met (up to $1,300,000 in the aggregate). Failure to meet this requirement would require the Principal Investor to immediately provide the balance of the Funding Commitment. The Principal Investor is required to deposit a check for $650,000 with Silverman Sclar Shin & Byrne PLLC, counsel to the Company (“Silverman”) if and when it delivers $650,000 to the Company upon the conditions for closing of the first tranche of the Second Equity Offering being met. Silverman is to deliver that check to the Company if the conditions for closing of the second tranche of the Second Equity Offering have been met (or waived by the Principal Investor) on or before October 31, 2011. Otherwise, Silverman is to return the check to the Principal Investor.

 

7
 

 

To the extent that the Company raises funds from sources other than the Principal Investor (“Other Funds”) in the Second Equity Offering, such Other Funds shall reduce the balance of the remaining $1,300,000 of the Funding Commitment on a dollar–for-dollar basis.

 

Conversion of Remaining Secured Debt:

 

As of June 30, 2011, Leon Frenkel (the “Primary Creditor”) and his affiliates (with the Primary Creditor, the “Primary Creditors”), hold approximately $2,107,454 of principal, accrued interest, penalties and all other sums due under Unit Notes. Upon all the provisions of the First Equity Offering Conditions being met, the Primary Creditors will exchange 35% of such debt for G Preferred at a rate of one share of G Preferred for $50.00 of Unit Note debt. If and when the Company raises an aggregate of at least $1,300,000 from the Second Equity Offering, the balance (65%) of such Unit Notes debt would be exchanged and extinguished. In the event that the Company does not raise at least $1,300,000 in the Second Equity Offering on or prior to October 31, 2011, the balance of such Unit Notes debt will not be exchanged and extinguished and the Unit Notes representing such amount will be returned to the Primary Creditors.

 

In addition, the Principal Investor and the Primary Creditor hold notes in the principal amounts of $100,000 and $49,600, respectively. The note held by the Principal Investor is secured by a specific purchase order, and the notes held by the Primary Creditor are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets (the “Purchase Order/Payables Notes”). As of June 30, 2011, there was approximately $172,724 of principal, accrued interest, penalties and all other sums due under the Purchase Order/Payables Notes. The Principal Investor and Primary Creditors will have the option in their sole discretion to exchange their Purchase Order/Payables Notes and all amounts due thereunder for shares of G Preferred at a rate of one share of G Preferred for $50.00 of debt.

 

Related Party Disclosure:

 

The granting of the lien and security interest for the First Position Bridge Notes required the consent of the representatives of the Unit Notes and the August 2010 Secured Notes. The members of the Investor Group are the collateral agents and representative of the holders of the Unit Notes and the August 2010 Secured Notes and also are the collateral agents and representatives of the holders of the First Position Bridge Notes. In addition, all of the members of the Investor Group are significant equity holders and creditors of the Company.

 

Management Warrant Grant Program:

 

The Company’s Board of Directors has approved a Management Warrant Grant pursuant to which it has reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to issue Common Stock Purchase Warrants (“Management Warrants”) to management. Upon the earlier of November 1, 2011 or the date upon which the First and Second Equity Offerings have been completed or terminated (such date, the “Determination Date”), the Company’s management shall be granted Management Warrants exercisable for such number of shares of Common Stock equal, in the aggregate, to 11% of the “fully diluted” shares of the Company’s Common Stock as of the Determination Date, less 2,189,050 shares. Fully diluted means, in addition to the shares issued and outstanding as of the Determination Date, all shares of Common Stock that would be issued as of that date if all instruments providing for the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock upon exercise, conversion or other contract right (other than the Management Warrants) were so exercised or converted as of that date. The Management Warrants will be exercisable for a period of ten years at an exercise price as to not cause a taxable event to management or the Company (subject to adjustment as provided therein). The holders of the Management Warrants will be restricted from selling the shares issuable upon exercise of the Management Warrants for 15 months from the date of the grant of the Management Warrants.
