Business
Overview
We
were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 9, 2010 under the name “Nepia Inc.” From August
9, 2010 to July 18, 2013, the Company was in the business of developing, manufacturing, and selling small boilers aimed at farmers
primarily in Southeast Asia. Beginning on July 19, 2013, the Company acquired bio-pharmaceutical intellectual property for the
treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is entering into Phase II clinical trials. The goal is to perfect this indication
for marketing purposes for distribution world-wide. On August 26, 2013, as a consequence of our new business direction, the
Company changed its name to Rich Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Rich” or “the Company”).
Investment
Agreement with LG
On June 10, 2015, we entered into an amended
and restated investment agreement with LG Capital Funding, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“LG”). Pursuant
to the terms of the LG Investment Agreement, LG committed to purchase up to the first to occur of $2,000,000 of our common stock
or 625,000,000 shares of our common stock over a period of up to twenty-four (24) months. From time to time during the twenty-four
(24) months period commencing from the effectiveness of the registration statement, we may deliver a drawdown notice (“Drawdown
Notice”) to LG which states the dollar amount that we intend to sell to LG on a date specified in the drawdown notice (“Drawdown
Amount”). The maximum amount that the Company shall be entitled to drawdown to LG shall be two hundred percent (200%) of
average daily trading volume (U.S. market only) of the Common Stock during the ten (10) days preceding the Drawdown Notice, so
long as such amount does render the Investor a holder of more than 4.99% of the outstanding Shares of the Company. The purchase
price per share to be paid by LG shall be calculated as a thirty percent (30%) discount to the lesser of: (1) the lowest traded
price of the Company Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading days prior to the date the Drawdown Notice was submitted
or (2) the closing bid price on the day before the Drawdown Notice is submitted. We reserved 625,000,000 shares of our common
stock for issuance under the LG Investment Agreement.
In connection with the LG Investment Agreement,
we are obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) covering
625,000,000 shares of our common stock underlying the LG Investment Agreement within 21 days after the closing of the transaction.
In addition, we are obligated to use all commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective
by the SEC and maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until termination of the LG Investment Agreement.
The
LG Investment Agreement is not transferable and any benefits attached thereto may not be assigned.
The 625,000,000 shares to be registered herein
represent 27.59% of the shares then issued and outstanding, assuming that the selling stockholder will sell all of the shares
offered for sale. The 625,000,000 shares to be registered herein represent 33.16% of the shares issued and outstanding held by
non-affiliates of the Company.
At an assumed purchase price of $0.00021 (equal
to 70% of the closing price of our common stock of $0.0003 on June 9, 2015), we will be able to receive up to $131,250 in gross
proceeds, assuming the sale of the entire 625,000,000 shares being registered hereunder pursuant to the LG Investment Agreement.
LG has agreed to refrain from holding an amount of shares which would result in LG owning more than 4.99% of the then-outstanding
shares of our common stock at any one time.
There
are substantial risks to investors as a result of the issuance of shares of our common stock under the LG Investment Agreement.
These risks include dilution of stockholders’ percentage ownership, significant decline in our stock price and our inability
to draw sufficient funds when needed.
LG
will periodically purchase our common stock under the LG Investment Agreement and will, in turn, sell such shares to investors
in the market at the market price. This may cause our stock price to decline, which will require us to issue increasing numbers
of common shares to LG to raise the same amount of funds, as our stock price declines.
Because
our ability to draw down any amounts under the LG Investment Agreement is subject to a number of conditions, there is no guarantee
that we will be able to draw down any portion or all of the proceeds under the LG Investment Agreement. As such, we cannot make
any guarantee that we will be successful in accessing the full amount under the LG Investment Agreement.

RISK
FACTORS
You
should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this Prospectus before
making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in or incorporated into this Prospectus
that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks actually
occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common
stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks
Related To Our Business
We
are a development stage company and may never commercialize any of our products or services or earn a profit.
Prior
to July 19, 2013, we were a “shell” company with no or nominal operations. We recently received funding and commenced
operations. We are a development stage company in the business of developing treatments for Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML).
We currently have no products ready for commercialization, have not generated any revenue from operations and expect to incur
substantial net losses for the foreseeable future to further develop and commercialize our technology. We cannot predict the extent
of these future net losses, or when we may attain profitability, if at all. If we are unable to generate significant revenue from
our technology or attain profitability, we will not be able to sustain operations. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties
associated with developing and commercializing our technology, we are unable to predict the extent of any future losses or when
we will become profitable, if ever. We may never become profitable and you may never receive a return on an investment in our
common stock. An investor in our common stock must carefully consider the substantial challenges, risks and uncertainties inherent
in the attempted development and commercialization of medical treatments. We may never successfully commercialize our technology,
and our business may fail.
We
will need to raise substantial additional capital to commercialize our technology, and our failure to obtain funding when needed
may force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development programs or collaboration efforts.
As
of the date of this Prospectus, we have limited cash resources. Due to our expectation that we will continue to incur losses
in the future, we will be required to raise additional capital to complete the development and commercialization of our technology.
During the next 12 months and potentially thereafter, we will have to raise additional funds to continue the development
and commercialization of our technology. When we seek additional capital, we may seek to sell additional equity and/or debt securities
or to obtain a credit facility, which we may not be able to do on favorable terms, or at all. Our ability to obtain additional
financing will be subject to a number of factors, including market conditions, our operating performance and investor sentiment.
If we are unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, we may have to significantly delay, scale back
or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of one or more of our technologies, restrict our operations or obtain
funds by entering into agreements on unattractive terms.
Our
ability to successfully commercialize our technology will depend largely upon the extent to which third-party payors reimburse
the costs for our treatment in the future. Physicians and patients may decide not to order our products unless third-party payors,
such as managed care organizations as well as government payors such as Medicare and Medicaid pay a substantial portion of the
price of the treatment. Reimbursement by a third-party payor may depend on a number of factors, including a payor’s determination
that our product candidates are:
•
not experimental or investigational;
•
effective;
•
medically necessary;
•
appropriate for the specific patient;
•
cost-effective;
•
supported by peer-reviewed publications; and
•
included in clinical practice guidelines.
Market
acceptance, sales of products based upon our technology, and our profitability may depend on reimbursement policies and health
care reform measures. Several entities conduct technology assessments of medical treatments and provide the results of their assessments
for informational purposes to other parties. These assessments may be used by third-party payors and health care providers as
grounds to deny coverage for a treatment or procedure. The levels at which government authorities and third-party payors, such
as private health insurers and health maintenance organizations, may reimburse the price patients pay for such products could
affect whether we are able to commercialize our products. Our technology may receive negative assessments that may impact our
ability to receive reimbursement of the treatment. Since each payor makes its own decision as to whether to establish a policy
to reimburse a treatment, seeking these approvals may be a time-consuming and costly process. We cannot be sure that reimbursement
in the U.S. or elsewhere will be available for any of our products in the future. If reimbursement is not available or is limited,
we may not be able to commercialize our products.
If
we are unable to obtain reimbursement approval from private payors and Medicare and Medicaid programs for our product candidates,
or if the amount reimbursed is inadequate, our ability to generate revenues could be limited. Even if we are being reimbursed,
insurers may withdraw their coverage policies or cancel their contracts with us at any time, stop paying for our treatment or
reduce the payment rate for our treatment, which would reduce our revenue.
Even
if approved, our product candidates may not achieve broad market acceptance among physicians, patients and healthcare payors,
and as a result our revenues generated from their sales may be limited.
The
commercial success of our products will depend upon its acceptance among the medical community, including physicians, health care
payors and patients. The degree of market acceptance of our current or future product candidates will depend on a number of factors,
including:
•
limitations or warnings contained in our product candidates’ FDA-approved labeling;
•
changes in the standard of care or availability of alternative therapies at similar or lower costs for the targeted indications
for any of our product candidates;
•
limitations in the approved clinical indications for our product candidates;
•
demonstrated clinical safety and efficacy compared to other products;
•
lack of significant adverse side effects;
•
sales, marketing and distribution support;
•
availability of reimbursement from managed care plans and other third-party payors;
•
timing of market introduction and perceived effectiveness of competitive products;
•
the degree of cost-effectiveness;
•
availability of alternative therapies at similar or lower cost, including generics and over-the-counter products;
•
the extent to which our product candidates are approved for inclusion on formularies of hospitals and managed care organizations;
•
whether our product candidates are designated under physician treatment guidelines for the treatment of the indications for which
we have received regulatory approval;
•
adverse publicity about our product candidates or favorable publicity about competitive products;
•
convenience and ease of administration of our product candidates; and
•
potential product liability claims.
If
our product candidates are approved, but do not achieve an adequate level of acceptance by physicians, patients, the medical community
and healthcare payors, sufficient revenue may not be generated from these products and we may not become or remain profitable.
In addition, efforts to educate the medical community and third-party payors on the benefits of our product candidates may require
significant resources and may never be successful.
If
our potential treatments are unable to compete effectively with current and future treatments targeting similar markets as our
potential products, our commercial opportunities will be reduced or eliminated.
The
medical treatment industry for AML and stroke is intensely competitive and characterized by rapid technological progress. In each
of our potential product areas, we face significant competition from large biotechnology, medical diagnostic and other companies.
The technologies associated with the medical industry are evolving rapidly and there is intense competition within such industry.
Certain companies have established technologies that may be competitive to our technology and any future products that we develop.
Some of these competing companies may use different approaches or means to obtain results, which could be more effective or less
expensive than our treatments. Moreover, these and other future competitors have or may have considerably greater resources than
we do in terms of technology, sales, marketing, commercialization and capital resources. These competitors may have substantial
advantages over us in terms of research and development expertise, experience in clinical studies, experience in regulatory issues,
brand name exposure and expertise in sales and marketing as well as in operating central laboratory services. Many of these organizations
have financial, marketing and human resources greater than ours; therefore, there can be no assurance that we can successfully
compete with present or potential competitors or that such competition will not have a materially adverse effect on our business,
financial position or results of operations.
Since
our technology is under development, we cannot predict the relative competitive position of any product based upon the technology.
However, we expect that the following factors will determine our ability to compete effectively: safety and efficacy; product
price; turnaround time; ease of administration; performance; reimbursement; and marketing and sales capability.
If
our clinical studies do not prove the superiority of our technologies, we may never sell our products and services.
The
results of our clinical studies may not show that treatment results using our technology are superior to existing treatment. In
that event, we will have to devote significant financial and other resources to further research and development, and commercialization
of products using our technologies will be delayed or may never occur.
At
present, our success depends solely on the successful development and commercialization of our compound in development, which
cannot be assured.
We
are focused on the development of the RP-323 compound, a naturally occurring compound that has a number of properties that are
uniquely suited for the treatment of patients with AML and in stimulating white blood cells. The successful commercialization
of this product candidate, either by us or by strategic partners, is crucial for our success. Our proposed products and their
potential applications are in an early stage of clinical and manufacturing/process development and face a variety of risks and
uncertainties. Principally, these risks include the following:
•
clinical trial results may show that our product candidates are not well tolerated by recipients at its effective doses or are
not efficacious;
•
future clinical trial results may be inconsistent with testing results obtained to-date;
•
even if our product candidates are shown to be safe and effective for their intended purposes, we may face significant or unforeseen
difficulties in obtaining or manufacturing sufficient quantities at reasonable prices or at all;
•
even if our product candidates are successfully developed, commercially produced and receive all necessary regulatory approvals,
there is no guarantee that there will be market acceptance of our products; and
•
our ability to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidates for their intended use is substantially
dependent upon our ability to raise sufficient capital or to obtain and maintain experienced and committed partners to assist
us with
•
obtaining clinical and regulatory approvals for, and the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of, our products;
•
our competitors may develop therapeutics or other treatments which are superior or less costly than our own with the result that
our product candidates, even if they are successfully developed, manufactured and approved, may not generate sufficient revenues
to offset the development and manufacturing costs of our product candidates.
If
we are unsuccessful in dealing with any of these risks, or if we are unable to successfully commercialize our cancer-targeting
technologies for some other reason, our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected.
The
failure to complete development of our technology, to obtain government approvals, including required FDA approvals, or to comply
with ongoing governmental regulations could prevent, delay or limit introduction or sale of proposed products and result in failure
to achieve revenues or maintain our ongoing business.
Our
research and development activities and the manufacture and marketing of our intended products are subject to extensive regulation
for safety, efficacy and quality by numerous government authorities in the U.S. and abroad. Before receiving clearance to market
our proposed products by the FDA, we will have to demonstrate that our products are safe and effective for the patient population
for the diseases that are to be treated. Clinical trials, manufacturing and marketing of drugs are subject to the rigorous testing
and approval process of the FDA and equivalent foreign regulatory authorities. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and other
federal, state and foreign statutes and regulations govern and influence the testing, manufacturing, labeling, advertising, distribution
and promotion of drugs and medical devices. As a result, clinical trials and regulatory approval can take many years to accomplish
and require the expenditure of substantial financial, managerial and other resources.
In
order to be commercially viable, we must successfully research, develop, obtain regulatory approval for, manufacture, introduce,
market and distribute our technologies. This includes meeting a number of critical developmental milestones including:
•
demonstrating benefit from delivery of each specific drug for specific medical indications;
•
demonstrating through clinical trials that each drug is safe and effective; and
•
demonstrating that we have established viable Good Manufacturing Practices capable of potential scale-up.
The
timeframe necessary to achieve these developmental milestones may be long and uncertain, and we may not successfully complete
these milestones for any of our intended products in development.
In
addition to the risks previously discussed, our technology is subject to developmental risks that include the following:
•
uncertainties arising from the rapidly growing scientific aspects of drug therapies and potential treatments;
•
uncertainties arising as a result of the broad array of alternative potential; and
•
expense and time associated with the development and regulatory approval of treatments for AML and other conditions.
In
order to conduct the clinical trials that are necessary to obtain approval by the FDA to market a product, it is necessary to
receive clearance from the FDA to conduct such clinical trials. The FDA can halt clinical trials at any time for safety reasons
or because we or our clinical investigators do not follow the FDA’s requirements for conducting clinical trials. If any
of our trials are halted, we will not be able to obtain FDA approval until and unless we can address the FDA’s concerns.
If we are unable to receive clearance to conduct clinical trials for a product, we will not be able to achieve any commercial
revenue from such product in the U.S. as it is illegal to sell any drug for use in humans in the U.S. without FDA approval. Even
if we do ultimately receive FDA approval for any of our products, these products will be subject to extensive ongoing regulation,
including regulations governing manufacturing, labeling, packaging, testing, dispensing, prescription and procurement quotas,
record keeping, reporting, handling, shipment and disposal of any such drug. Failure to obtain and maintain required registrations
or to comply with any applicable regulations could further delay or preclude development and commercialization of our drugs and
subject us to enforcement action.
Clinical
trials involve a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome, and results of earlier studies and trials may not be
predictive of future trial results.
In
order to receive regulatory approval for the commercialization of our products, we must conduct, at our own expense, extensive
clinical trials to demonstrate safety and efficacy of these product candidates. Clinical testing is expensive, it can take many
years to complete and its outcome is uncertain. Failure can occur at any time during the clinical trial process. The Company estimates
the budget for reaching market approval for the treatment of AML to be $20 million if our products are conferred “orphan
drug” status by the FDA or $40 million or more in the absence of such “orphan drug” status. We may experience
delays in clinical testing of our product candidates. We do not know whether planned clinical trials will begin on time, will
need to be redesigned or will be completed on schedule, if at all. Clinical trials can be delayed for a variety of reasons, including
delays in obtaining regulatory approval to commence a trial, in reaching agreement on acceptable clinical trial terms with prospective
sites, in obtaining institutional review board approval to conduct a trial at a prospective site, in recruiting patients to participate
in a trial or in obtaining sufficient supplies of clinical trial materials. Many factors affect patient enrollment, including
the size of the patient population, the proximity of patients to clinical sites, the eligibility criteria for the trial, competing
clinical trials and new drugs approved for the conditions we are investigating. Prescribing physicians will also have to decide
to use our product candidates over existing drugs that have established safety and efficacy profiles. Any delays in completing
our clinical trials will increase our costs, slow down our product development and approval process and delay our ability to generate
revenue.
In
addition, prior results of Phase I clinical trials of our product candidates do not necessarily predict the results of later-stage
clinical trials. Product candidates in later stages of clinical trials may fail to show the desired safety and efficacy traits
despite having progressed through initial clinical testing. The data collected from clinical trials of our product candidates
may not be sufficient to support the submission of a new drug application or to obtain regulatory approval in the United States
or elsewhere. Because of the uncertainties associated with drug development and regulatory approval, we cannot determine if or
when we will have an approved product for commercialization or achieve sales or profits. Our clinical trials may not demonstrate
sufficient levels of efficacy necessary to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals for our drugs, and our proposed drugs may
not be approved for marketing.
We
expect to rely heavily on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but our orphan drug designations
may not confer marketing exclusivity or other expected commercial benefits.
We
expect to rely on “orphan drug” exclusivity for our product candidates. Orphan drug status confers seven years of
marketing exclusivity under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and up to ten years of marketing exclusivity in Europe for
a particular product in a specified indication. For any product candidate for which we have been or will be granted orphan drug
designation in a particular indication, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same
product candidate will receive marketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications
for that indication may not be approved until the competing company’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the
first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under which a competing product
may be approved for the same indication during the seven-year period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is
shown to be clinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further,
the seven-year marketing exclusivity would not prevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours
for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drug designation, or for the use of other types of products
in the same indications as our orphan product, or during such seven-year period for other indications.
We
may be required to suspend or discontinue clinical trials due to unexpected side effects or other safety risks that could preclude
approval of our product candidates.
Our
clinical trials may be suspended at any time for a number of reasons. For example, we may voluntarily suspend or terminate our
clinical trials if at any time we believe that they present an unacceptable risk to the clinical trial patients. In addition,
regulatory agencies may order the temporary or permanent discontinuation of our clinical trials at any time if they believe that
the clinical trials are not being conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements or that they present an unacceptable
safety risk to the clinical trial patients. Administering any product candidates to humans may produce undesirable side effects.
These side effects could interrupt, delay or halt clinical trials of our product candidates and could result in the FDA or other
regulatory authorities denying further development or approval of our product candidates for any or all targeted indications.
Ultimately, some or all of our product candidates may prove to be unsafe for human use. Moreover, we could be subject to significant
liability if any volunteer or patient suffers, or appears to suffer, adverse health effects as a result of participating in our
clinical trials.
We
depend on third-party contractors for a substantial portion of our operations and may not be able to control their work as effectively
as if we performed these functions ourselves.
We
outsource substantial portions of our operations to third-party service providers, including the conduct clinical trials, collection
and analysis of data, and manufacturing. Our agreements with third-party service providers and contract research organizations
are on a study-by-study and project-by-project basis. Any contractor that we retain will be subject to FDA and foreign regulatory
requirements and similar standards outside of the United States and Europe and we do not have control over compliance with these
regulations by these providers. Consequently, if these providers do not adhere to applicable governing practices and standards,
the development and commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed or stopped, which could severely harm our business
and financial condition.
Because
we have relied on third parties, our internal capacity to perform these functions is limited to management oversight. Outsourcing
these functions involves the risk that third parties may not perform to our standards, may not produce results in a timely manner
or may fail to perform at all. Although we have not experienced any significant difficulties with our third-party contractors,
it is possible that we could experience difficulties in the future. In addition, the use of third-party service providers requires
us to disclose our proprietary information to these parties, which could increase the risk that this information will be misappropriated.
There are a limited number of third-party service providers that specialize or have the expertise required to achieve our business
objectives. Identifying, qualifying and managing performance of third-party service providers can be difficult, time consuming
and cause delays in our development programs. We currently have a small number of employees, which limits the internal resources
we have available to identify and monitor third-party service providers. To the extent we are unable to identify, retain and successfully
manage the performance of third-party service providers in the future, our business may be adversely affected, and we may be subject
to the imposition of civil or criminal penalties if their conduct of clinical trials violates applicable law.
We
are exposed to product and clinical liability risks that could create a substantial financial burden should we be sued.
Our
business exposes us to potential product liability and other liability risks that are inherent in the testing, manufacturing and
marketing of pharmaceutical products. In addition, the use, in our clinical trials, of pharmaceutical products that we or our
current or potential collaborators may develop and then subsequently sell may cause us to bear a portion of or all product liability
risks. While we intend to carry an insurance policy covering liability incurred in connection with such claims should they arise,
there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain insurance or that our insurance will be adequate to cover all situations.
Moreover, there can be no assurance that such insurance if obtained, or additional insurance, if required, will be available in
the future or, if available, will be available on commercially reasonable terms. A successful product liability claim or series
of claims brought against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results
of operations.
Due
to our limited marketing, sales and distribution experience, we may be unsuccessful in our efforts to sell our proposed products,
enter into relationships with third parties or develop a direct sales organization.
We
have not established marketing, sales or distribution capabilities for our proposed products. Until such time as our proposed
products are further along in the development process, we will not devote any meaningful time and resources to this effort. At
the appropriate time, we will determine whether we will develop our own sales and marketing capabilities or enter into agreements
with third parties to sell our products. We have limited experience in developing, training or managing a sales force. If we choose
to establish a direct sales force, we may incur substantial additional expenses in developing, training and managing such an organization.
We may be unable to build a sales force on a cost-effective basis or at all. Any such direct marketing and sales efforts may prove
to be unsuccessful. In addition, we will compete with many other companies that currently have extensive marketing and sales operations.
Our marketing and sales efforts may be unable to compete against these other companies. We may be unable to establish a sufficient
sales and marketing organization on a timely basis, if at all.
If
we choose to enter into agreements with third parties to sell our proposed products, we may be unable to establish or maintain
third-party relationships on a commercially reasonable basis, if at all. In addition, these third parties may have similar or
more established relationships with our competitors.
We
may be unable to engage qualified distributors. Even if engaged, these distributors may:
•
fail to adequately market our products;
•
fail to satisfy financial or contractual obligations to us;
•
offer, design, manufacture or promote competing products; or
•
cease operations with little or no notice.
If
we fail to develop sales, marketing and distribution channels, we would experience delays in product sales and incur increased
costs, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operation.
If
we are unable to protect our intellectual property effectively, we may be unable to prevent third parties from using our technologies,
which would impair our competitive advantage.
We
will rely on patent protection as well as a combination of copyright and trade secret protection, and other contractual restrictions
to protect our proprietary technologies, all of which provide limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights or
permit us to gain or keep any competitive advantage. If we fail to protect our intellectual property, we will be unable to prevent
third parties from using our technologies and they will be able to compete more effectively against us. We cannot assure you that
the patent issued to us will not be challenged, invalidated or held unenforceable. We cannot guarantee you that we will be successful
in defending challenges made in connection with our patent and any future patent applications. In addition to our patent and any
future patent applications, we will rely on contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary technology. We will require our
employees and third parties to sign confidentiality agreements and employees to also sign agreements assigning to us all intellectual
property arising from their work for us. Nevertheless, we cannot guarantee that these measures will be effective in protecting
our intellectual property rights.
The
inventor of the intellectual property which was assigned to the Company in July 2013 by Imagic, LLC and Richard L. Chang’s
Holdings, LLC is presently in declaratory relief litigation with Biosuccess Biotech, Co. LTD. (“Biosuccess”), a company
who was previously assigned licensing rights in the intellectual property. In connection with this litigation, on January 17,
2014, the Company received notice of a complaint filed by Biosuccess against the Company, Imagic, LLC, Richard L. Chang’s
Holdings, LLC, and Ben Chang (our CEO and a director) in the United States District Court, Central District of California Western
Division (the “District Court”). The Complaint includes allegations of patent and copyright infringement, misappropriation
of trade secrets, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition and other causes of actions against the Company, Imagic, LLC, Richard
L. Chang’s Holdings, LLC, and Ben Chang (the “Litigation”). The Complaint seeks relief which includes compensatory
damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, an award of treble damages, and such other relief as the court may deem just and proper.
The trial for the Litigation involving the Company is scheduled for July 2015. The Company believes the allegations in the complaint
are without merit and that it will prevail in the Litigation. However, we have incurred expenses and the diversion of financial
resources and management personnel in responding to the complaint. Additionally, an adverse determination against us in the Litigation
may subject us to significant liabilities or require us to seek licenses that may not be available from third parties on commercially
favorable terms, if at all. Further, an adverse determination against us in the Litigation may require us to pay substantial financial
damages, which can be tripled if the infringement is deemed willful, or be required to discontinue or significantly delay development,
marketing, selling and licensing of the Company’s affected products and intellectual property rights.
Also,
our competitors may have filed, and may in the future file, patent applications covering technology similar to ours. Any such
patent application may have priority over our patent applications and could further require us to obtain rights to issued patents
covering such technologies. There may be third-party patents, patent applications and other intellectual property relevant to
our potential products that may block or compete with our products or processes. If another party has filed a United States patent
application on inventions similar to ours, we may have to participate in an interference proceeding declared by the United States
Patent and Trademark Office to determine priority of invention in the United States. The costs of these proceedings could be substantial,
and it is possible that such efforts would be unsuccessful, resulting in a loss of our United States patent position with respect
to such inventions. In addition, we cannot assure you that we would prevail in any of these suits or that the damages or other
remedies if any, awarded against us would not be substantial. Claims of intellectual property infringement may require us to enter
into royalty or license agreements with third parties that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. We may also become
subject to injunctions against the further development and use of our technology, which would have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex
patent litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. In addition, any uncertainties
resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise
the funds necessary to continue our operations.
Our
financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
We
have generated losses to date and have limited working capital. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty. The report
of our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern in their audit report included herein. If we cannot generate the required revenues and
gross margin to achieve profitability or obtain additional capital on acceptable terms, we will need to substantially revise our
business plan or cease operations and an investor could suffer the loss of a significant portion or all of his investment in our
Company.
We
have had operating losses since inception, and we currently are not profitable; and we may never achieve profitability.
For
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, we had a net loss of $31,350 and an accumulated deficit of $81,930. For the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2014, we had a net loss of $3,004,937 and an accumulated deficit of $3,301,404. We have had and we expect to continue
to have losses in the near term and have relied and will rely on capital funding to support our operations in the near future.
To date, such capital funding has been limited in amount. Because we are at the development stage of our products, we do not expect
that they will generate revenues sufficient to cover the costs of our operations in the nearer and medium term. We cannot predict
whether or not we will ever become profitable or be able to continue to find capital to support our development and business plan.
We
do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, and we may never pay dividends and, consequently, the only opportunity
for investors to achieve a return on their investment is if a trading market develops and investors are able to sell their shares
for a profit or if our business is sold at a price that enables investors to recognize a profit.
We
currently intend to retain any future earnings to support the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate
paying cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of
Directors after taking into account various factors, including but not limited to our financial condition, operating results,
cash needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit agreements that we may be a party to at the time. In addition, our ability
to pay dividends on our common stock may be limited by state law. Accordingly, we cannot assure investors any return on their
investment, other than in connection with a sale of their shares or a sale of our business. At the present time there is a limited
trading market for our shares. Therefore, holders of our securities may be unable to sell them. We cannot assure investors that
an active trading market will develop or that any third party will offer to purchase our business on acceptable terms and at a
price that would enable our investors to recognize a profit.
Capital
Market Risks
Because
we will likely issue additional shares of our common stock, investment in our company could be subject to substantial dilution.
At an assumed purchase price of $0.00021 (equal
to 70% of the closing price of our common stock of $0.0003 on June 9, 2015), we will be able to receive up to $131,250 in gross
proceeds, assuming the sale of the entire 625,000,000 shares being registered hereunder pursuant to the LG Investment Agreement..
In
addition, we anticipate that all or at least some of our future funding, if any, will be in the form of equity financing from
the sale of our common stock. If we do sell more common stock, investors' investment in our company will likely be diluted. Dilution
is the difference between what you pay for your stock and the net tangible book value per share immediately after the additional
shares are sold by us. If dilution occurs, any investment in our company's common stock could seriously decline in value.
LG
will pay less than the then-prevailing market price for our common stock.
The
Common Stock to be issued to LG pursuant to the LG Investment Agreement will be purchased at a 30% discount to the lowest trading
price of our Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately after LG receives our notice of sale. LG has
a financial incentive to sell our Common Stock immediately upon receiving the shares to realize the profit equal to the difference
between the discounted price and the market price. If LG sells the shares, the price of our Common Stock could decrease. If our
stock price decreases, LG may have a further incentive to sell the shares of our Common Stock that it holds. These sales may have
a further impact on our stock price.
Your
ownership interest may be diluted and the value of our common stock may decline by exercising the put right pursuant to the LG
Investment Agreement.
Pursuant
to the LG Investment Agreement, when we deem it necessary, we may raise capital through the private sale of our Common Stock to
LG at a price equal to a discount to the lowest volume weighted average price of the common stock for the ten (10) consecutive
trading days after LG receives our notice of sale. Because the put price is lower than the prevailing market price of our Common
Stock, to the extent that the put right is exercised, your ownership interest may be diluted.
We
are registering an aggregate of 625,000,000 shares of common stock to be issued under the LG Investment Agreement. The sales of
such shares could depress the market price of our common stock.
We are registering an aggregate of 625,000,000
shares of Common Stock under the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, pursuant to the LG Investment Agreement.
Notwithstanding LG’s ownership limitation, the 625,000,000 shares would represent approximately 27.59% of our shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after our exercise of the put right under the Investment Agreement. The sale of these shares
into the public market by LG could depress the market price of our Common Stock.
We may not have access to the
full amount available under the LG Investment Agreement.
Our ability to draw down funds and sell shares
under the LG Investment Agreement requires that this resale registration statement be declared effective and continue to be effective.
This registration statement registers the resale of 625,000,000 shares issuable under the LG Investment Agreement, and our ability
to sell any shares issuable under the LG Investment Agreement is subject to our ability to have this registration statement registering
the resale of these shares declared effective. Even if we are successful in causing this registration statement registering the
resale of some or all of the shares issuable under the LG Investment Agreement to be declared effective by the SEC in a timely
manner, we may not be able to sell the shares unless certain other conditions are met. For example, we might have to increase
the number of our authorized shares in order to issue the shares to LG. Accordingly, because our ability to draw down any amounts
under the LG Investment Agreement is subject to a number of conditions, there is no guarantee that we will be able to draw down
any portion or all of the proceeds of $2,000,000 under the LG Investment Agreement. We believe that it is likely that we will
be able to drawn down on the full amount of the Agreement, however, prior to drawing down on the full amount, we may not be able
to draw down on the full amount without filing an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the Company’s authorized
shares of common stock. Pursuant to state law, the filing of the amendment to increase the authorized shares of common stock may
require board and shareholder approval. As such, we cannot make any guarantee that we will be successful in accessing the full
amount under the LG Investment Agreement.
Certain
restrictions on the extent of puts and the delivery of advance notices may have little, if any, effect on the adverse impact of
our issuance of shares in connection with the LG Investment Agreement, and as such, LG may sell a large number of shares, resulting
in substantial dilution to the value of shares held by existing shareholders.
LG
has agreed, subject to certain exceptions listed in the LG Investment Agreement, to refrain from holding an amount of shares which
would result in LG or its affiliates owning more than 4.99% of the then-outstanding shares of our Common Stock at any one time.
These restrictions, however, do not prevent LG from selling shares of Common Stock received in connection with a put, and then
receiving additional shares of Common Stock in connection with a subsequent put. In this way, LG could sell more than 4.99% of
the outstanding Common Stock in a relatively short time frame while never holding more than 4.99% at one time.
Our
common stock recently commenced trading and has limited volume and high price volatility, so you may be unable to sell your shares
to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.
The
Company’s common stock commenced trading March 14, 2014 on the OTC Markets. The trading volume has been very limited by
the fact that many major institutional investment funds, including mutual funds, as well as individual investors follow a policy
of not investing in OTC stocks and certain major brokerage firms restrict their brokers from recommending OTC stocks because they
are considered speculative, volatile, thinly traded and the market price of the common stock may not accurately reflect our underlying
value. The market price of our common stock is subject to wide fluctuations, and may be subject to further fluctuations based
on announcements of new products or services by us, significant sales of our common stock, including “short” sales,
the operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors may deem comparable to us, and news reports relating
to trends in our markets or general economic conditions.
The
application of the “penny stock” rules to our common stock could limit the trading and liquidity of the common stock,
adversely affect the market price of our common stock and increase your transaction costs to sell those shares.
As
long as the trading price of our common stock is below $5 per share, the open-market trading of our common stock will be subject
to the “penny stock” rules, unless we otherwise qualify for an exemption from the “penny stock” definition.
The “penny stock” rules impose additional sales practice requirements on certain broker-dealers who sell securities
to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual
income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse). These regulations, if they apply, require the delivery, prior
to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the associated risks.
Under these regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers or certain
accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination regarding such a purchaser and receive such purchaser’s
written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. These regulations may have the effect of limiting the trading activity of our
common stock, reducing the liquidity of an investment in our common stock and increasing the transaction costs for sales and purchases
of our common stock as compared to other securities. The stock market in general and the market prices for penny stock companies
in particular, have experienced volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. These
broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our stock, regardless of our operating performance. Stockholders
should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Release No. 34-29093, the market for
penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include 1) control of the market for
the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; 2) manipulation of prices through
prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; 3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure
sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; 4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential
and markups by selling broker-dealers; and 5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after
prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent
investor losses. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.
We
may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms, which could have a material adverse impact on the market value
of our common stock.
Security
analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of our common stock since there is no incentive to brokerage firms
to recommend the purchase of our common stock. The absence of such coverage limits the likelihood that an active market will develop
for our common stock. It will also likely make it more difficult to attract new investors at times when we require additional
capital.
We
may be unable to list our common stock on NASDAQ or on any securities exchange.
Although
we may apply to list our common stock on NASDAQ or the NYSE MKT in the future, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet
the initial listing standards, including the minimum per share price and minimum capitalization requirements, or that we will
be able to maintain a listing of our common stock on either of those or any other trading venue. If our common stock begins trading,
until such time as we would qualify for listing on NASDAQ, the NYSE MKT or another trading venue, our common stock would trade
on OTC Markets or OTC Bulletin Board or another over-the-counter quotation system where an investor may find it more difficult
to dispose of shares or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. In addition, rules promulgated
by the SEC impose various practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities that fail to meet certain criteria set forth
in those rules to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, if our common stock begins
trading, these rules may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our common stock, which may further affect the liquidity
of our common stock. It would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital.
Future
sales of our equity securities could put downward selling pressure on our securities, and adversely affect the stock price.
There
is a risk that this downward pressure may make it impossible for an investor to sell his or her securities at any reasonable price,
if at all. Future sales of substantial amounts of our equity securities in the public market, or the perception that such sales
could occur, could put downward selling pressure on our securities, and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Conversion
of our convertible notes into common stock could result in additional dilution to our stockholders.
We
have issued convertible notes which are convertible into shares of our common stock at conversion prices which are at a discount
to the then current trading price of our common stock. Additionally, upon the occurrence of certain events of default (including
conditions outside of our control) the note holders are entitled to increased repayment and interest rates, as well as other remedies.
The note holders have anti-dilution and conversion reset provisions which are triggered by the issuance of lower priced securities.
If shares of our common stock are issued due to the conversion of some or all of the convertible notes in the future, the ownership
interests of existing stockholders will be diluted.
The
Company’s common stock was the subject of an unauthorized spam stock promotion.
In
April 2014, the Company was made aware of spam stock promotion regarding shares of the Company. The Company received complaints,
and was forwarded emails and links to social media sites, relating to unsolicited messages containing false and misleading information
regarding the Company and its stock price. The spam mails touted RCHA as "the opportunity of the year" that could
go past "2 or 3 dollars". The Company did not, and does not, authorize, endorse or sponsor these illegal spam
stock promotions or any of the information contained in the emails. However, the spam stock promotions caused the OTC Markets
to place a skull and crossbones next to the Company’s stock symbol on the OTC Markets website warning investors with respect
to the Company’s stock, and may have caused reputational damage to the Company and its stock. The Company does not have
the ability to stop or restrict any future spam stock promotions which may occur and any such future promotions could have an
adverse effect on the Company and its share price.
We
do not intend to pay dividends on any investment in the shares of stock of our company and any gain on an investment in our company
will need to come through an increase in our stock's price, which may never happen.
We
have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent
that we require additional funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our funding sources may prohibit the payment
of a dividend. Because we do not intend to declare dividends, any gain on an investment in our company will need to come through
an increase in the stock's price. This may never happen and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.
FINRA
sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
In
addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (known as "FINRA")
has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds
for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their
non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial
status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there
is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements
make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common shares, which may limit your ability
to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
Corporate
and Other Risks
Limitations
on director and officer liability and indemnification of our Company’s officers and directors by us may discourage stockholders
from bringing suit against an officer or director.
Our
Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide, with certain exceptions as permitted by governing state law,
that a director or officer shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law, or unlawful payments of
dividends. These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing suit against a director for breach of fiduciary duty and
may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation brought by stockholders on our behalf against a director.
We
are responsible for the indemnification of our officers and directors.
Should
our officers and/or directors require us to contribute to their defense, we may be required to spend significant amounts of our
capital. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws also provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees,
and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which
they become a party arising from their association with or activities on behalf of our Company. This indemnification policy could
result in substantial expenditures, which we may be unable to recoup. If these expenditures are significant, or involve issues
which result in significant liability for our key personnel, we may be unable to continue operating as a going concern.
Certain
provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation may make it more difficult for a third party to effect a change-of-control.
Our
certificate of incorporation authorizes the Board of Directors to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred
stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the Board of Directors
without further action by the stockholders. These terms may include preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights,
redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of any preferred stock could diminish the rights of holders of our
common stock, and therefore could reduce the value of such common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to future holders
of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with, or sell assets to, a third party. The ability of the Board
of Directors to issue preferred stock could make it more difficult, delay, discourage, prevent or make it more costly to acquire
or effect a change-in-control, which in turn could prevent our stockholders from recognizing a gain in the event that a favorable
offer is extended and could materially and negatively affect the market price of our common stock.
The
issuance of Preferred Stock to our Chief Executive Officer provides him with voting control which may limit your ability and the
ability of our other stockholders, whether acting alone or together, to propose or direct the management or overall direction
of our Company.
Our
Chief Executive Officer has 6,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock which provide him with 100 to 1 voting rights over shares of common
stock. This ownership provides him with voting control over matters which require shareholder approval. This concentration of
voting power could discourage or prevent a potential takeover of our Company that might otherwise result in an investor receiving
a premium over the market price for his shares. If you acquire shares of our common stock, you may have no effective voice in
the management of our Company. Such concentrated control of our Company may adversely affect the price of our common stock.
Our principal stockholders may be able to control matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors,
mergers or other business combinations. Such concentrated control may also make it difficult for our stockholders to receive a
premium for their shares of our common stock in the event we merge with a third party or enter into different transactions which
require stockholder approval. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future
for shares of our common stock.
We
are dependent for our success on a few key individuals.
Our
success depends on the skills, experience and performance of key members of our management team. Each of those individuals
may voluntarily terminate his relationship with the Company at any time. Were we to lose one or more of these key individuals,
we would be forced to expend significant time and money in the pursuit of a replacement, which would result in both a delay in
the implementation of our business plan and the diversion of limited working capital. We do not maintain a key man insurance policy
on any of our executive officers.

USE
OF PROCEEDS
We
will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholder. However, we will receive proceeds from the sale
of securities pursuant to the LG Investment Agreement. The proceeds received from any “Puts” tendered to LG under
the LG Investment Agreement will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes and acquisitions or assets, businesses
or operations or for other purposes that the Board of Directors, in its good faith deem to be in the best interest of the Company.
DILUTION
“Dilution”
as used herein represents the difference between the offering price per share of shares offered hereby and the net tangible book
value per share of the Company’s common stock after completion of the offering. Dilution in the offering is primarily due
to the losses previously recognized by the Company.
At an assumed purchase price of $0.00021 (equal
to 70% of the closing price of our common stock of $0.0003 on June 9, 2015), we will be able to receive up to $131,250 in gross
proceeds, assuming the sale of the entire 625,000,000 shares being registered hereunder pursuant to the LG Investment Agreement.
The
following information is based upon the Company’s unaudited balance sheet as filed in the Company’s Form 10-Q/A on
February 25, 2015, for the period ended December 31, 2014:
The net tangible book value of the Company
at December 31, 2014 was $(1,209,104) or $(0.00174) per share. Net tangible book value represents the amount of total tangible
assets less total liabilities. Assuming that 100% of the 625,000,000 shares offered hereby were purchased by the investor (a fact
of which there can be no assurance) as of December 31, 2014, the then outstanding 2,890,513,376 shares of common stock, which
would constitute all of the issued and outstanding equity capital of the Company assuming the entire 625,000, 000 shares were
sold , would have a net tangible book value $(1,209,104) (after deducting commissions and offering expenses) or approximately
$(0.000418) per share.

Holders
We
had approximately 82 record holders of our common stock as of April 16, 2015, according to the books of our transfer agent. The
number of our stockholders of record excludes any estimate by us of the number of beneficial owners of shares held in street name,
the accuracy of which cannot be guaranteed.
Dividends
We
have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. We intend to keep future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our
business, and we do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. Our future payment of dividends
will depend on our earnings, capital requirements, expansion plans, financial condition and other relevant factors that our board
of directors may deem relevant. Our retained earnings deficit currently limits our ability to pay dividends.

Recent
Developments
On
August 9, 2010 we were incorporated as Nepia Inc. in the State of Nevada. From August 9, 2010 to July 18, 2013, we were in the
business of developing, manufacturing, and selling small boilers aimed at farmers primarily in Southeast Asia.
On
July 18, 2013, we designated, from our 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001, 6,000,000 shares of
Series “A” Preferred Stock. Our Series “A” Preferred Stock has voting rights of 100 votes per share and
vote with common shares as a single class.
On
July 18, 2013, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding and Asset Assignment Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”)
with Imagic, LLC dba Rich Pharmaceuticals and Richard L. Chang’s Holdings, LLC to acquire certain assets including United
States Patent No. 6,063,814 entitled “Phorbol esters as anti-neoplastic and white blood cell elevating agents” and
all related intellectual property associated with the patent. In consideration for the newly acquired assets, we agreed to issue
Imagic, LLC a total of 198,625 pre-split shares of our common stock and to issue Ben Chang 6,000,000 of our newly created Series
“A” Preferred Stock with super voting rights. We further agreed to use its best efforts to complete a financing resulting
in proceeds of at least $2,000,000. If we are unable to raise $400,000 according to the terms of the Assignment Agreement, the
assets revert back to Imagic, LLC and Richard L. Chang’s Holdings. As part of the Assignment Agreement, Imagic, LLC and
Richard L. Chang’s Holdings shall have the option at any time before November 1, 2014, to assign to us any and all interest
these companies have in the indication, patents and intellectual property related to Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in consideration
for us issuing to Ben Chang: (i) 476,820 pre-split common shares; and (i) 1.0408 pre-split common shares for each one pre-split
common share issued by us prior to the date we receive notice of intent to exercise the option, adjusted for any stock split we
happen to undertake.
In
consequence of the Agreement and Assignment Agreement, Sean Webster resigned in his position as an officer and director. In his
stead, Ben Chang was appointed as President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Director.
Li Deng Ke and Xiong Chao Jun sold 1,275,000 pre-split common shares to Ben Chang, and Mr. Chang cancelled 1,200,517 of those
shares he received and returned them to treasury.
On
July 19, 2013, we entered into an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Assets and Assumption of Obligations (the
“Agreement”) with our prior officer and directors, Li Deng Ke and Xiong Chao Jun. Pursuant to the Agreement, we transferred
all assets and business operations associated with our boiler business to Messrs. Ke and Jun. In exchange, Messrs. Ke and Jun
agreed to assume and cancel all liabilities relating to our former business, including shareholder and officer loans amounting
to $24,318. From and after July 18, 2013, we are in the business of developing RP-323 (formerly called PD-616) for the treatment
of Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML), and to cause elevation of white blood cells (WBC) in patients depleted of these elements
due to various conditions. We are no longer engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing, and selling straw burning boilers.
A more complete description of our new business is contained under “Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of
Assets” in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 24, 2013 (the “Super 8-K”). Readers are
encouraged to read the Super 8-K to gain a better understanding of our new business and risk factors.
On
August 26, 2013, we filed Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of Nevada in order to effectuate a merger with our wholly-owned
subsidiary, Rich Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Shareholder approval was not required under Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.
As part of the merger, we authorized a change in our name to "Rich Pharmaceuticals, Inc." and our Articles of Incorporation
were amended to reflect this name change. The effectiveness of the name change was subject to approval by the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), which we received on September 3, 2013.
On
September 5, 2013, we resolved to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock, par value $0.001, from 400,000,000
shares to 37,503,000,000 shares. Correspondingly, we affirmed a forward split of 416.7 for 1 in which each shareholder was issued
416.7 common shares in exchange for 1 common share of their issued common stock. Under the Nevada law, shareholder approval was
not required. We submitted the required information to FINRA and we were informed by FINRA that the effective date of the forward
split was October 2, 2013. Prior to approval of the forward split, we had a total of 993,108 issued and outstanding pre-split
common shares, par value $0.001. On the effective date of the forward split, we had a total of 413,828,104 issued and outstanding
post-split common shares, par value $0.001. New stock certificates will be issued upon surrender of the shareholders’ old
certificates. In connection with the forward split, we were issued the following new CUSIP number: 76303T209. Effective October
30, 2013 our common stock is quoted under the symbol “RCHA.”
On
September 6, 2013, we entered into an Employment Agreement with Ben Chang, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer,
President and Secretary. The Employment Agreement provides for a term of two years; annual compensation of $275,000; an amount
equal to 3 months compensation payable upon entering into the Employment Agreement; and options to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares
of post-split common stock at an exercise price of $0.02 per common share, 50% of which are vested on October 1, 2013, and 50%

Investment
Agreement with LG
On June 10, 2015, we entered into an amended
and restated investment agreement with LG Capital Funding, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“LG”). Pursuant
to the terms of the LG Investment Agreement, LG committed to purchase up to the first to occur of $2,000,000 of our common stock
or 625,000,000 shares of our common stock over a period of up to twenty four (24) months. From time to time during the twenty
four (24) months period commencing from the effectiveness of the registration statement, we may deliver a drawdown notice (“Drawdown
Notice”) to LG which states the dollar amount that we intend to sell to LG on a date specified in the drawdown notice (“Drawdown
Amount”). The maximum amount that the Company shall be entitled to drawdown to LG shall be two hundred percent (200%) of
average daily trading volume (U.S. market only) of the Common Stock during the ten (10) days preceding the Drawdown Notice, so
long as such amount does render the Investor a holder of more than 4.99% of the outstanding Shares of the Company. The purchase
price per share to be paid by LG shall be calculated as a thirty percent (30%) discount to the lesser of: (1) the lowest traded
price of the Company Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading days prior to the date the Drawdown Notice was submitted
or (2) the closing bid price on the day before the Drawdown Notice is submitted. We reserved 625,000,000 shares of our common
stock for issuance under the LG Investment Agreement. The obligations of LG to purchase shares under the LG Investment Agreement
are subject to numerous conditions which may not be met by the Company, and the Company cannot therefore provide any assurances
that the Company will sell any shares of Company common stock to LG under the LG Investment Agreement.
In connection with the LG Investment Agreement,
are obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) covering 5625000,000
shares of our common stock underlying the LG Investment Agreement within 21 days after the closing of the transaction. In addition,
we are obligated to use all commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC and
maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until termination of the LG Investment Agreement.
The
LG Investment Agreement is not transferable and any benefits attached thereto may not be assigned.
A
copy of the LG Investment Agreement is attached as an exhibit to this Form S-1 Registration Statement.
Results
of Operations for the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013
We
generated no revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. We do not anticipate earnings revenues until we are
able to sell or license our products.
Our
operating expenses and net loss during the nine months ended December 31, 2014 were $2,394,658 respectively, as compared with
$321,464 for the same period ended 2013. The operating expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 consisted mainly of
professional fees ($590,955), wages and taxes ($789,266), consulting expenses ($169,192) and stock-based compensation ($679,095).
We
anticipate our operating expenses will continue to increase as we undertake our new plan of operations which went into effect
on July 18, 2013.
Results
of Operations for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2013
We
had no revenues during the periods ending March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013. In July 2013, the Company entered the start-up phase
of its operations.
Operating
expenses for the year ending March 31, 2014 were $3,004,595 which consisted primarily of $1,869,273 non-cash charges related to
issuance of stock options to officers and consultants and $335,000 in consulting fees. Operating expenses for the year ending
March 31, 2013 were $31,350 which consisted primarily of accounting expenses. Operating expenses increased significantly compared
to the year ending March 31, 2013 due to entering into operations from the previous non-operational shell status of the Company
in July 2013.
We
had a net loss of $3,004,937 for the year ending March 31, 2014 compared to a net loss of $31,350 for the year ending March 31,
2013. The increase in the net loss was due to the commencement of operations in July 2013 and non-cash charges discussed above.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of December 31, 2014, we had total current assets of $5,823; we had total current liabilities of $1,195,244; and we had a stockholders’
deficit of $1,126,984. Operating activities used $1,034,393 in cash for the nine months ended December 31, 2014, and used $261,841
in cash for the nine months ended December 31, 2013.
Our
net loss of $1,436,048 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 primarily accounted for our negative operating cash flow.
Financing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2014 generated $1,027,829 in cash from the issuance of $603,829
in convertible promissory notes and the sale of $607,050 of stock and warrants.
As
of December 31, 2014 and the date of this report, we have insufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the
next twelve months and insufficient cash to achieve our business goals. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon
our ability to obtain additional financing and to generate profits and positive cash flow. We will require additional cash of
$2,000,000 over the next twelve months to cover the costs of overhead and operations, drug manufacturing, maintaining our patent
portfolio, and conducting clinical trials for the indication Acute Myeloid Leukemia (“AML”). We plan to raise the
required capital pursuant to a private equity financing in the near term, but there is no guarantee or assurances that we will
be able to do so.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
As
of December 31, 2014, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.
Contractual
Obligations
We
do not have any contractual obligations.
Going
Concern
We
have negative working capital and have not yet received revenues from sales of products or services. These factors create substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary
if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Our
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on generating cash from the sale of our common stock and/or obtaining debt
financing and attaining future profitable operations. Management’s plans include selling our equity securities and obtaining
debt financing to fund our capital requirement and ongoing operations; however, there can be no assurance we will be successful
in these efforts.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended March 31, 2014. Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application
of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates, assumptions,
judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and
expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including
information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions
adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various
other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates
under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial
statements.
DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS
Business
Overview
The
Company is developing RP-323 (formerly called
PD-616) for the treatment of Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML), and to cause elevation of white blood cells (WBC) in patients depleted
of these elements due to various conditions.
The
Technology
The
priority drug development efforts of the Company are focused on the use of RP-323, a naturally occurring compound that has a number
of properties that are uniquely suited for the treatment of patients with Acute Myelocytic Leukemia (AML). Company scientists
had worked with RP-323 in the laboratory for many years studying its ability to convert cancer cells to normal cells, a process
called differentiation. It was also observed in some instances to cause cancer cell death. These observations were the basis of
the proposal to test RP-323 in relapsed AML patients in China and later in the US and resulted in findings that were sufficiently
encouraging to support further interest in this drug to treat AML. During the course of these preliminary clinical studies RP-323
was found to be extremely potent in causing a marked and favorable increase in white blood cells (WBC) in blood, key elements
in fighting infections. These results were also observed in cancer patients whose WBC were depleted due to the toxic effects of
chemotherapeutic drugs used during the course of their therapy.
Clinical
Studies in Acute Myelocytic Leukemia
Based
on the known properties of RP-323, it was first administered in a pilot study in China, either alone or in combination with standard
drugs, and caused temporary remission of AML in some patients’ refractory to standard therapy. Several patients recovered
sufficiently with RP-323 treatment to return to their normal occupations, symptom-free. Interest in these findings led to a Phase
I investigator-sponsored trial in 35 patients by a leading oncologist at a leading cancer hospital in New Jersey, the University
of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ). This study determined the maximum tolerated dose of RP-323 and described its
relatively mild side effects. The results of this Phase I trial led to interest by the same investigator to initiate a Phase II
study. The use of RP-323 in treatment of refractory AML is expected to qualify for a “fast track” designation at the
United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Company expects to apply for “orphan drug” status. An “orphan
drug” is a pharmaceutical agent that has been developed specifically to treat a rare medical condition, the
condition itself being referred to as an orphan disease. The Company’s clinical plans are expected to result in completion
of the required clinical studies in 2016 and provide a basis for market approval for the treatment of AML. The Company estimates
the budget for reaching market approval for the treatment of AML to be $40 million. However, should the Company be able to obtain
“orphan drug” status from the FDA, that timeline could be accelerated to 2015 and budget reduced to $20 million. All
plans are subject to the Company obtaining adequate financing, or partnering with a third party, to fund the cost of the studies.
The Company cannot provide any assurances that it will be able to obtain such financing or partnering arrangement. On July 23,
2014, the Company announced that it had hired San Diego, California based contract research organization (CRO) Therinova Development,
Inc. to file its new drug application (NDA), identify and supervise Phase II clinical trial sites for the use of RP-323 in Acute
Myelocytic Leukemia patients. Therinova is a specialty Contract Research Organization (CRO) that provides comprehensive product
development solutions for the biopharmaceutical industry.
Clinical
Results in Elevation of White Blood Cells
Clinical
studies in over 100 cancer patients demonstrated the potent ability of RP-323 to stimulate the production of white blood cells
(WBC) and neutrophils. Both the treatments for various diseases and the disease themselves can result in extremely low numbers
of these elements. Their elevation is essential to prevent post-treatment infections common to these patients. In comparative
studies in animals, RP-323 is significantly more potent than marketed drugs used for this purpose. The effect of RP-323 on the
elevation of these and other blood elements will be measured during treatment of AML.
Market
Opportunities
AML
It
is estimated that 40,000 people in the US have AML and an additional 14,000 are diagnosed annually with a yearly death rate of
over 10,000. Based on this incidence, the potential market for RP-323 for the treatment of AML is approximately $1 to 2 billion
peak sales annually in the US and more than $5 billion worldwide.
White
Blood Cell
Currently
marketed drugs for elevating key infection-fighting blood elements are used in supportive cancer care, inflammation, nephrology
and bone disease. In 2012, this market exceeded $3 billion. The clinical use of RP-323 for these purposes is expected to have
several key therapeutic advantages over marketed drugs, along with a clean safety profile and observed high efficacy is expected
to result in a 15 to 30 percent market share and peak annual sales of $0.5 to $1 billion. Amgen would be the Company’s largest
competitor in this market.
Patent
and Patent Application
The
Company has been assigned United States Patent No. 6,063,814, entitled “Phorbol esters as anti-neoplastic and white blood
cell elevating agents,” and utility patent application titled “Compositions and Methods of Use Of Phorbol Esters
For The Treatment of Neoplasms (Acute Myeloid Leukemia).” The patent is intended
to provide the Company with exclusive rights to the use of intravenous RP-323 for therapeutic purposes.
The
Company has also been assigned the indication for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma under utility patent application number 61998397, entitled
“COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USE OF PHORBOL ESTERS FOR THE TREATMENT OF HODGKIN’S LYMPHOMA”.
Provided
that the Company can obtain additional funding, the Company intends to expand its patents through the addition of indications
for use and adding protection in appropriate countries.
Government
Regulations
The
research, pre-clinical development, clinical trials, product manufacturing and marketing which may be conducted by the Company
is subject to regulation by the FDA and similar health authorities in foreign countries. The proposed products and technologies
of the Company also may be subject to certain other federal, state and local government regulations, including, without limitation,
the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, and their state, local and foreign counterparts. Although there can be no such assurance,
the Company does not believe that compliance with such laws and regulations has, nor is presently expected to have, a material
adverse effect on the business of the Company. However, the Company cannot predict the extent of the adverse effect on its business
or the financial and other cost that might result from any government regulations arising out of future legislative, administrative
or judicial action.
Generally,
the steps required before a pharmaceutical or therapeutic biological agent may be marketed in the United States include: (i) pre-clinical
laboratory tests, in vivo pre-clinical studies in animals, toxicity studies and formulation studies; (ii) the submission to the
FDA of an IND application for human clinical testing, that must become effective before human clinical trials commence; (iii)
adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials to establish the safety and efficacy of the drug; (iv) the submission of a
marketing application to the FDA; and (v) FDA approval of the marketing application prior to any commercial sale or shipment of
the drug.
Pre-clinical
studies include laboratory evaluation of the product, conducted under Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulations, and animal studies
to assess the pharmacological activity and the potential safety and effectiveness of the drug. The results of the pre-clinical
studies are submitted to the FDA in the IND. Unless the FDA objects to an IND, it becomes effective 30 days following submission
and the clinical trial described in the IND may then begin.
Every
clinical trial must be conducted under the review and oversight of an institutional review board (IRB) at each institution participating
in the trial. The IRB evaluates, among other things, ethical factors, the safety of human subjects, and the possible liability
of the institution.
Clinical
trials are typically conducted in three sequential phases, although the phases may overlap. Phase I represents the initial introduction
of the drug to a small group of healthy subjects to test for safety, dosage tolerance, and the essential characteristics of the
drug. Phase II involves studies in a limited number of patients to test the safety and efficacy of the drug at different dosages.
Phase III trials involve large-scale evaluation of safety and effectiveness, usually (though not necessarily) in comparison with
placebo or an existing treatment.
The
results of the pre-clinical and clinical trials are submitted to the FDA as part of an application to market the drug. The marketing
application also includes information pertaining to the chemistry, formulation, manufacture of the drug and each component of
the final product. The FDA review of a marketing application takes from one to two years on average to complete, though reviews
of treatments for cancer and other life-threatening diseases may be accelerated. However, the process may take substantially longer
if the FDA has questions or concerns about a product. Following review, the FDA may ultimately decide that an application does
not satisfy regulatory and statutory criteria for approval. In some cases, the FDA may approve a product but require additional
clinical tests following approval (i.e., Phase IV).
In
addition to obtaining FDA approval for each product, each domestic drug manufacturing establishment must be registered with, and
approved by, the FDA. Domestic manufacturing establishments are subject to inspections by the FDA and must comply with Good Manufacturing
Practice ("GMP"). To supply products for use in the United States, foreign manufacturing establishments must comply
with GMP and are subject to periodic inspection by the FDA or by corresponding regulatory agencies in such countries under reciprocal
agreements with the FDA.
If
marketing approval of any Company product is granted, the Company must continue to comply with FDA requirements not only for manufacturing,
but also for labeling, advertising, record keeping, and reporting to the FDA of adverse experiences and other information. In
addition, the Company must comply with federal and state health care anti-kickback laws and other health care fraud and abuse
laws that affect the marketing of pharmaceuticals. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could subject the Company
to administrative or judicial enforcement actions, including but not limited to product seizures, injunctions, civil penalties,
criminal prosecution, refusals to approve new products or withdrawal of existing approvals, as well as increased product liability
exposure, any of which could have a material adverse effect on tile company's business, financial condition, or results of operations.
For
clinical investigation and marketing outside the United States, the Company also is subject to foreign regulatory requirements
governing human clinical trials and marketing approval for drugs. The requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, product
licensing, pricing and reimbursement vary widely for European countries both within and outside the European Community ("EU").
Outside the United States, the Company's ability to market a product is contingent upon receiving a marketing authorization from
the appropriate regulatory authority. At present, foreign marketing authorizations are applied for at a national level, although
within the EU certain registration procedures are available to companies wishing to market their products in more than one EU
member state. If the regulatory authority is satisfied that adequate evidence of safety, quality and efficacy has been presented,
a marketing authorization will be granted. The system for obtaining marketing authorizations within the EU registration system
is a dual one in which certain products, such as biotechnology and high technology products and those containing new active substances,
will have access to a central regulatory system that provides registration throughout the entire EU. Other products will be registered
by national authorities in individual EU member states, operating on a principle of mutual recognition. This foreign regulatory
approval process includes, at least, all of the risks associated with FDA approval set forth above. The Company could possibly
have greater difficulty in obtaining any such approvals and also might find it more difficult to protect its intellectual property
abroad.
Compliance
with Environmental Laws
The
Company's business may be subject to regulation under federal, state, local, and foreign laws regarding environmental protection
and hazardous substance control. The Company believes that its compliance with these laws will have no adverse impact upon its
capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. Federal, state and foreign agencies and legislative bodies have expressed
interest in the further environmental regulation of the biotechnology industry. The Company is unable to estimate the extent and
impact of such, if any, future federal, state, local legislation or administrative environmental action.

July
2013 Business Change
Prior
to July 18, 2013, the Company was a shell company with no or nominal operations after unsuccessfully pursuing a boiler business.
On July 18, 2013, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding and Asset Assignment Agreement (the “Assignment
Agreement”) with Imagic, LLC (“Imagic”) and Richard L. Chang’s Holdings, LLC to acquire certain assets
including United States Patent No. 6,063,814 entitled “Phorbol esters as anti-neoplastic and white blood cell elevating
agents” and all related intellectual property associated with the patent.
On
July 19, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Assets and Assumption of Obligations
(the “Agreement”) with our prior officer and directors, Li Deng Ke and Xiong Chao Jun. Pursuant to the Agreement,
we transferred all assets and business operations associated with our boiler business to Messrs. Ke and Jun. In exchange, Messrs.
Ke and Jun agreed to assume and cancel all liabilities relating to our former business, including shareholder and officer loans
amounting to $24,318. In connection with this Agreement, Messrs. Ke and Jun further sold 1,275,000 shares of their common stock
in our company to Mr. Chang, and Mr. Chang cancelled 1,200,517 of those shares he received and returned them to our treasury.
In
connection with the Agreement and Assignment Agreement, Sean Webster resigned in his position as an officer and director with
our company. In his stead, Ben Chang was appointed as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary,
Treasurer and Director. Under the direction of our newly appointed officer and director, the Company engaged in its new business
to pursue the development of RP-323 (12–O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate) for the treatment of Acute Myelogenous Leukemia
(AML) and Stroke (for the treatment of loss of function caused by Stroke.)

Term
of Office
The
Company’s directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of the Company’s
shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with the Company’s bylaws and the provisions of the Delaware Corporations
Code. The Company’s directors hold office after the expiration of his or her term until his or her successor is elected
and qualified, or until he or she resigns or is removed in accordance with the Company’s bylaws and the provisions of the
Delaware Corporations Code. The Company’s officers are appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors and hold office
until removed by the Board.
Committees
of the Board
We
do not currently have standing nominating or compensation committees, or committees performing similar functions. Due to the size
of our board, our Board of Directors believes that it is not necessary to have standing nominating or compensation committees
at this time because the functions of such committees are adequately performed by our Board of Directors. We do not have a nominating
or compensation committee charter as we do not currently have such committees. We do not have a policy for electing members to
the board. Our current director is not an independent director as defined in the NASD listing standards.
It
is anticipated that in the future as the Company grows that the Board of Directors will be expanded and form separate compensation
and nominating committees, and appoint members to the audit committee, including an audit committee financial expert.
Audit
Committee
Our
Board of Directors has not established a separate audit committee within the meaning of Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our Board of Directors currently performs the services of an
audit committee. Our current director cannot be considered an “audit committee financial expert.” We will need to
attract an individual with the qualification of an audit committee expert to our Audit Committee. At this time, we have not identified
such an individual.
Nominations
to the Board of Directors
Our
directors take a critical role in guiding our strategic direction and oversee the management of the Company. Board candidates
are considered based upon various criteria, such as their broad-based business and professional skills and experiences, a global
business and social perspective, concern for the long-term interests of the shareholders, diversity, and personal integrity and
judgment. In addition, directors must have time available to devote to Board activities and to enhance their knowledge in the
growing business. Accordingly, we seek to attract and retain highly qualified directors who have sufficient time to attend to
their substantial duties and responsibilities to the Company. In carrying out its responsibilities, the Board will consider candidates
suggested by shareholders. If a shareholder wishes to formally place a candidate’s name in nomination, however, he or she
must do so in accordance with the provisions of the Company’s Bylaws. Suggestions for candidates to be evaluated by the
proposed directors must be sent to the Board of Directors, c/o Rich Pharmaceuticals, Inc., to the address set forth on the
cover page of this Prospectus.
Board
Leadership Structure and Role on Risk Oversight
Mr.
Chang currently serves as the Company’s principal executive officer and chairman. The Company determined this leadership
structure was appropriate for the Company due to our small size and limited operations and resources. The Board of Directors will
continue to evaluate the Company’s leadership structure and modify as appropriate based on the size, resources and operations
of the Company.
Compensation
Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
No
interlocking relationship exists between our board of directors and the board of directors or compensation committee of any other
company, nor has any interlocking relationship existed in the past.
Director
Qualifications
In
evaluating director nominees, our Company considers the following factors:
•
The appropriate size of the Board;
•
Our needs with respect to the particular talents and experience of our directors;
•
The knowledge, skills and experience of nominees;
•
Experience with accounting rules and practices; and
•
The nominees’ other commitments.
Our
Company’s goal is to assemble a Board of Directors that brings our Company a variety of perspectives and skills derived
from high quality business, professional and personal experience. Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria
for director nominees. Specific talents and qualifications that we considered for the members of our Company’s Board of
Directors are as follows:
•
Mr. Chang has over 25 years of pharmaceutical and executive level experience. Mr. Chang also has experience in international banking,
venture capital acquisition, finance, and organizational design and operations.
•
Mr. Chou is a pharmaceutical development expert with more than 25 years of experience and he has led numerous development projects
from pre-clinical evaluation stage to product commercialization.
Family
Relationships
None.
Code
of Ethics
Effective
as of July 1, 2014, our board of directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons,
our president or chief executive officer as well as the individuals performing the functions of our chief financial officer, corporate
secretary and controller. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to
deter wrongdoing and to promote:
•
honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional
relationships;
• full,
fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities
and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;
• the
prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified
in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and
• accountability
for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
Our
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our personnel be afforded full access to our president
or chief executive officer with respect to any matter which may arise relating to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Further,
all of our personnel are to be afforded full access to our board of directors if any such matter involves an alleged breach of
the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by our president or chief executive officer.
In
addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly managers and/or supervisors,
have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles,
and federal, provincial and state securities laws. Any employee who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting
manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to his or her immediate
supervisor or to our president or chief executive officer. If the incident involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business
Conduct and Ethics by our president or chief executive officer, the incident must be reported to any member of our board of directors
or use of a confidential and anonymous hotline phone number. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of
others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual
who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by another. Our Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics is available, free of charge, to any stockholder upon written request to our Corporate Secretary
at Rich Pharmaceuticals, Inc., at the address on the cover page of this Prospectus. A copy of our Code of Business Conduct and
Ethics is incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 14.1 to the annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 15, 2014.
Involvement
in Certain Legal Proceedings
To
the best of our knowledge, none of our current directors or executive officers has been convicted in a criminal proceeding, excluding
traffic violations or similar misdemeanors, or has been a party to any judicial or administrative proceeding during the past ten
years that resulted in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining the person from future violations of, or prohibiting activities
subject to, federal or state securities laws, or a finding of any violation of federal or state securities laws, except for matters
that were dismissed without sanction or settlement. Except as set forth in our discussion below in "Transactions with Related
Persons; Promoters and Certain Control Persons; Director Independence," none of our current directors, director nominees
or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or
associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

SECURITY
OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth, as of June
9, 2015, information with respect to the securities holdings of (i) our officers and directors, and (ii) all persons (currently
none) which, pursuant to filings with the SEC and our stock transfer records, we have reason to believe may be deemed the beneficial
owner of more than five percent (5%) of the class of stock. The securities "beneficially owned" by an individual are
determined in accordance with the definition of "beneficial ownership" set forth in the regulations promulgated under
the Exchange Act and, accordingly, may include securities owned by or for, among others, the spouse and/or minor children of an
individual and any other relative who resides in the same home as such individual, as well as other securities as to which the
individual has or shares voting or investment power or which each person has the right to acquire within 60 days through the exercise
of options or otherwise. Beneficial ownership may be disclaimed as to certain of the securities. This table has been prepared
based on the number of shares of common stock outstanding totaling 2,265,513,376, and the number of shares of preferred stock
outstanding totaling 6,000,000, adjusted individually to include all warrants held by such individual which are exercisable within
60 days of June 9, 2015 as shown below.

(3) Includes options
to purchase up to 53,246,000 shares of common stock issued under the 2013 Plan which
are exercisable within 60 days after June 9, 2015. Also includes the 275,132,685 shares of common stock held by Imagic, LLC which
Mr. Chang is deemed to beneficially own.
(4) The Preferred
Stock has 100 to 1 voting rights over shares of common stock.
(5) Ben Chang is the
sole manager and member of Imagic, LLC and has sole investment and voting control of the shares of Company common stock held by
Imagic, LLC. He is therefore deemed to be the beneficial owner of such shares.

Transactions
with Related Persons
The
following includes a summary of any transaction occurring since April 1, 2012, or any proposed transaction, in which any related
person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than compensation described under "Executive Compensation"

described below were comparable to terms available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm's-length
transactions.
On

“Agreement”) with our prior officer and directors, Li Deng Ke and Xiong Chao Jun. Pursuant to the Agreement, we transferred
all assets and business operations associated with our boiler business to Messrs. Ke and Jun. In exchange, Messrs. Ke and Jun
agreed to assume and cancel all liabilities relating to our former business, including shareholder and officer loans amounting
to $24,318. Messrs. Ke and Jun further sold 1,275,000 shares of their common stock in our company to Mr. Chang, and Mr. Chang
cancelled 1,200,517 of those shares he received and returned them to our treasury.
On
July 16, 2013, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding and Asset Assignment Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”)
with Imagic, LLC (“Imagic”) and Richard L. Chang’s Holdings, LLC (“Holdings LLC”) to acquire certain
assets including United States Patent No. 6,063,814 entitled “Phorbol esters as anti-neoplastic and white blood cell elevating
agents” and all related intellectual property associated with the patent. In consideration for the acquired assets, the
Company agreed to issue Imagic 198,625 shares of our common stock and to issue Ben Chang 6,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock with super voting rights. Imagic is owned and controlled by Ben Chang, and Holdings LLC is owned and controlled by Ben Chang’s
father, Richard L. Chang. The Assignment Agreement also provided that the Company agreed to use its best efforts to complete a
financing resulting in proceeds of at least US$2,000,000, and if the Company was unable to raise $400,000 according to the terms
of the Assignment Agreement, the assets could revert back to Imagic and Holdings LLC. On January 17, 2014, the Company executed
a Waiver to Memorandum of Understanding and Asset Assignment Agreement with Imagic and Holdings LLC pursuant to which Imagic and
Holdings LLC agreed to waive and terminate their rights to the reversion of the patent assets under the terms of the Assignment
Agreement. As part of the Assignment Agreement, Imagic and Holdings LLC have the option at any time after November 1, 2013 and
before November 1, 2014, to assign to us any and all interest these companies have in the indication, patents and intellectual
property related to Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in consideration for us issuing to Ben Chang: (i) 476,820 restricted shares of our
common stock; and (i) 1.0408 restricted shares of our common stock for each one share of our restricted common stock issued by
us prior to the date which we receive notice of intent to exercise the option, adjusted for any stock split we happen to undertake.
As
of March 31, 2014, the Company received loans with a total balance of $11,000 from Imagic, LLC and $25,000 from Rich BioScience,
both of which entities are controlled by Ben Chang, our Chief Executive Officer.
On
October 6, 2014, 2014, the Company executed an Assignment Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) with Richard L. Chang
Holding's, LLC (“Holdings LLC”) and Imagic LLC (“Imagic LLC”) pursuant to which Holdings LLC and Imagic
LLC exercised the option under the Memorandum of Understanding and Asset Assignment Agreement dated July 26, 2013 to assign any
and all interest it had in the indication, patents and intellectual property related to treatment of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma,
utility patent application number 61998397, entitled COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USE OF PHORBOL ESTERS FOR THE TREATMENT
OF HODGKIN’S LYMPHOMA pursuant to the terms of the Assignment Agreement. In connection with the Assignment Agreement,
the Company issued 220,792,028 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock to Imagic LLC in accordance with the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in the Assignment. Imagic LLC is owned and controlled by Ben Chang. This issuance of shares
was made in reliance on the exemptions or exclusions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”) contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated under
the Securities Act. The Company’s reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in issuing the securities was based upon
the following factors: (a) the issuance of the securities was an isolated private transaction by us which did not involve a public
offering; (b) there was only one recipient; (c) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the securities
by the Company; (d) the securities were not broken down into smaller denominations; (e) the negotiations for the issuance of the
securities took place directly between the third party and the Company; and (f) the recipient of the securities was an accredited
investor.

do not have any other special committee, policy or procedure related to the review, approval or ratification of related party
transactions.

Chang as an the sole officer, a director and beneficial owner of 17% of the outstanding common stock and 100% of the preferred

to LG which states the dollar amount that we intend to sell to LG on a date specified in the drawdown notice (“Drawdown
Amount”). The maximum amount that the Company shall be entitled to drawdown to LG shall be two hundred percent (200%) of
average daily trading volume (U.S. market only) of the Common Stock during the ten (10) days preceding the Drawdown Notice, so
long as such amount does render the Investor a holder of more than 4.99% of the outstanding Shares of the Company. The purchase
price per share to be paid by LG shall be calculated as a thirty percent (30%) discount to the lesser of: (1) the lowest traded
price of the Company Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading days prior to the date the Drawdown Notice was submitted
or (2) the closing bid price on the day before the Drawdown Notice is submitted. We reserved 625,000,000 shares of our common
stock for issuance under the LG Investment Agreement.
In connection with the LG Investment Agreement,
we also entered into a registration rights agreement with LG, pursuant to which we are obligated to file a registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) covering 625,000,000 shares of our common stock underlying
the LG Investment Agreement within 21 days after the closing of the transaction. In addition, we are obligated to use all commercially
reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC and maintain the effectiveness of such registration
statement until termination of the LG Investment Agreement.
At an assumed purchase price of $0.00021 (equal
to 70% of the closing price of our common stock of $0.0003 on June 9, 2015), we will be able to receive up to $131,250 in gross
proceeds, assuming the sale of the entire 625,000,000 shares being registered hereunder pursuant to the LG Investment Agreement.
The
selling stockholder may, from time to time, sell any or all of its shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading
facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling
stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
|
• |
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
|
• |
block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block
as principal to facilitate the transaction |
|
• |
purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
|
• |
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
|
• |
privately
negotiated transactions; |
|
• |
broker-dealers
may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
|
• |
broker-dealers
may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
|
• |
through
the writing of options on the shares; |
|
• |
a
combination of any such methods of sale; and |
|
• |
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The
selling stockholder may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents
for themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions
from the selling stockholder and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell
as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market
makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that
a selling stockholder will attempt to sell shares of common stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at
a price per share which may be below the then market price. The selling stockholder cannot assure that all or any of the shares
offered in this prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the selling stockholder. The selling stockholder and any brokers, dealers
or agents, upon effecting the sale of any of the shares offered in this prospectus, are “underwriters” as that term
is defined under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, or the rules and regulations under such acts. In such event, any commissions
received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
Pursuant
to the LG Investment Agreement, the Company may enter into an agreement with a registered broker-dealer to act as a placement
agent. The Company has no intention to engage a placement agent in connection with this registration statement, and has not had
any discussions with any broker-dealers. Additionally, LG does not have the right to require the Company to engage a placement
agent, or pick the broker-dealer to act as placement agent. Furthermore, the engagement of a placement agent does not impact LG’s
obligation to provide the Company cash funds in connection with the delivery of a put notice.
Discounts,
concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by the selling
stockholder. The selling stockholder may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions
involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the Company decides to engage a placement agent in connection with this registration statement, then the Company shall be obligated
to pay the fees connected to the placement agent. This may result in the Company receiving less than the expected total proceeds.
LG
intends to sell/distribute the shares of common stock that they acquire from the Company in the open market.
The
selling stockholder shall acquire the securities offered hereby in the ordinary course of business and has advised us that it
has not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale
of its shares of common stock, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with a proposed sale of
shares of common stock by any selling stockholder. If we are notified by any selling stockholder that any material arrangement
has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of common stock, if required, we will file a supplement to this
prospectus.
If
the selling stockholder uses this Prospectus for any sale of the shares of common stock, it will be subject to the prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
As
described in more detail below under “Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities”, the Company has also entered
into convertible promissory notes with the selling stockholder.
Regulation
M
The
anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the selling
stockholder.
During
such time as it may be engaged in a distribution of any of the shares we are registering by this registration statement, LG is
required to comply with Regulation M. In general, Regulation M precludes any selling security holder, any affiliated purchasers
and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce
any person to bid for or purchase, any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete.
Regulation M defines a "distribution" as an offering of securities that is distinguished from ordinary trading activities
by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and selling methods. Regulation M also defines a
"distribution participant" as an underwriter, prospective underwriter, broker, dealer, or other person who has agreed
to participate or who is participating in a distribution.
Regulation
M under the Exchange Act prohibits, with certain exceptions, participants in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, for
an account in which the participant has a beneficial interest, any of the securities that are the subject of the distribution.
Regulation M also governs bids and purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with a distribution
of the security. We have informed LG that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M may apply to the sales of their shares
offered by this prospectus, and we have also advised LG of the requirements for delivery of this prospectus in connection with
any sales of the common stock offered by this prospectus.
Pursuant
to the LG Investment Agreement, LG shall not sell stock short, either directly or indirectly through its affiliates, principals
or advisors, our common stock during the term of the agreement.
DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
Authorized
Capital Stock
We
are authorized to issue 37,503,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
$0.001 par value per share.
Common
Stock
As
of June 9, 2015, 2,265,513,376 shares of common stock are issued and outstanding.
The
holders of our common stock have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our board
of directors and are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs. Our common stock does not provide the right to a preemptive, subscription
or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights. Our common stock holders are entitled to
one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which shareholders may vote.
All
shares of common stock now outstanding are fully paid for and non-assessable. We refer you to our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws
and the applicable statutes of the state of Nevada for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of
our securities. All material terms of our common stock have been addressed in this section.
Holders
of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding
shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that event,
the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors.
Preferred
Stock
Our
Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred
stock in one or more series, and to fix the designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other
special rights, if any, of each such class or series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, including dividend
rights, conversion rights, voting rights, sinking-fund provisions, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, preemption rights,
and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, without any further vote or action by the
stockholders. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our common stock and could
have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us.
Series
A Preferred Stock
On
July 18, 2013, the Company designated, from our 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001, 6,000,000 shares
of Series “A” Preferred Stock. Our Series “A” Preferred Stock has voting rights of 100 votes per share
and votes with common shares as a single class.
Dividends
We
have never declared or paid any cash dividends on shares of our capital stock. We currently intend to retain earnings, if any,
to fund the development and growth of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our
payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors,
including our financial condition, operating results, cash needs and growth plans.

this prospectus will be passed upon for us by The Doney Law Firm.

RICH
PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
DECEMBER
31, 2014
NOTE
1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature
of Business
On
August 9, 2010 the Company was incorporated as Nepia Inc. in the State of Nevada. From August 9, 2010 to July 18, 2013, the Company
was in the business of developing, manufacturing, and selling small boilers aimed at farmers primarily in Southeast Asia. Beginning
on July 19, 2013, the Company acquired bio-pharmaceutical intellectual property for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
and is entering into phase II human studies. The goal is to perfect this indication for marketing purposes for distribution
world-wide. On August 26, 2013, as a consequence of our new business direction, the Company changed its name to Rich Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. (“Rich” or “the Company”).
On
July 18, 2013, the Company designated, from our 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001, 6,000,000 shares
of Series “A” Preferred Stock. Our Series “A” Preferred Stock has voting rights of 100 votes per share
and votes with common shares as a single class.
On
July 18, 2013, the Company entered into an Asset Assignment Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) with Imagic, LLC
and its principals to acquire certain assets including a US Patent entitled “Phorbol esters as anti-neoplastic and white
blood cell elevating agents” and all related intellectual property associated with the patent. In consideration for the
intellectual property the Company issued 82,767,038 common shares, and 6,000,000 Series “A” Preferred shares. The
common and preferred shares were valued at $123,973. The Company further agreed to use its best efforts to complete a financing
resulting in proceeds of at least $2,000,000. If the Company was unable to raise $400,000 according to the terms of the Assignment

Basis
of Presentation
The
financial statements of the Company have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in U.S. dollars. The Company has adopted a March 31 fiscal
year end.
Certain
information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
a reading of the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March
31, 2014, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related
assets. The useful lives of the assets are as follows: Computer equipment, 3 years.
Long-Lived
and Intangible Assets
The
Company accounts for long-lived and intangible assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate.
The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result
from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an
impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company fully impaired their intangible assets to $0. As of December, 31, 2014, the Company purchased
another intangible asset from a related party and valued it at the cost of the intangible to the related party, $82,120.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses,
amounts due to related parties, stock deposits, and a convertible note payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments
approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise
disclosed in these financial statements.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income
Taxes
Income
taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and
are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax
assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

Revenue
Recognition
The
Company will recognize revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Stock-based
compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718. On September 6, 2013, the Company approved the adoption
of Rich Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2013 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the "2013 Plan”). The 2013 Plan is intended to
aid in recruiting and retaining key employees, directors or consultants and to motivate them by providing incentives through the
granting of awards of stock options or other stock based awards. The 2013 Plan is administered by the board of directors. Directors,

31, 2014, the Company granted 18,083,336 stock options to officers, directors, employees and consultants.
Basic
Loss Per Share
The
basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the
weighted average number of common shares during the year. The diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the
Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as
of the first of the year for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
On
June 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued update ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities
(Topic 915). Amongst other things, the amendments in this update removed the definition of development stage entity from Topic
915, thereby removing the distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from US GAAP. In addition,
the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information on the statements
of income, cash flows and shareholder’s equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity;
(3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged and (4) disclose in the first year
in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. The amendments
are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2014 and interim reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2015, however entities are permitted to early adopt for any annual or interim reporting period for which the financial statements
have yet to be issued. The Company has elected to early adopt these amendments and accordingly have not labeled the financial
statements as those of a development stage entity and have not presented inception-to-date information on the respective financial
statements.
The
Company does not expect the adoption of any other recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the
Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

NOTE
8 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
In
accordance with AC 815, the Company has bifurcated the conversion feature of their convertible notes and recorded a derivative
liability on the date each note became convertible. The derivative liability was then revalued on each reporting date.
As
detailed in Note 7 (above) the Company has issued several convertible notes in varying amounts and terms, with the following loans
becoming convertible during the nine months ending December 31, 2014:$64,500 note dated September 18, 2014; $61,111 note dated
August 13, 2014; $57,895 note dated August 19, 2014; $33,333 note dated December 16, 2014.
The
Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative liability. Included in the model to value
the derivative liabilities of the above loans are the following assumptions: stock price at valuation date of $0.004 - $0.0129,
exercise price of $0.00186 - $0.00546, dividend yield of zero, years to maturity of 0.126 – 1.95, a risk free rate of 0.026%
- 0.69%, and annualized volatility of 143% - 181%. The above loans were all discounted in full based on the valuations and the
Company recognized an additional derivative expense of $135,059 upon recording of the derivative liabilities. Once the loans are
fully converted, the remaining derivative liability is reclassified to equity as additional paid-in capital. As of December 31,
2014, unamortized debt discount totaling $163,920 remained.
ASC
815 requires Company management to assess the fair market value of certain derivatives at each reporting period and recognize
any change in the fair market value as another income or expense item. The Company’s only asset or liability
measured at fair value on a recurring basis is its derivative liability associated with the above convertible debt. During
the period ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded a total change in the value of the derivative liabilities of $40,871.

10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The
Company leases office space on a verbal month-to-month agreement. Monthly rent is approximately $2,500.
The
inventor of the intellectual property which was assigned to Rich Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in July 2013 by Imagic, LLC and Richard
L. Chang’s Holdings, LLC is presently in declaratory relief litigation with Biosuccess Biotech, Co. LTD. (“Biosuccess”),
a company who was previously assigned licensing rights in the intellectual property. In connection with this litigation, on January
17, 2014, the Company received notice of a complaint filed by Biosuccess against the Company, Imagic, LLC, Richard L. Chang’s
Holdings, LLC, and Ben Chang (our CEO and a director) in the United States District Court, Central District of California Western
Division (the “District Court”). The Complaint includes allegations of patent and copyright infringement, misappropriation
of trade secrets, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition and other causes of actions against the Company, Imagic, LLC, Richard
L. Chang’s Holdings, LLC, and Ben Chang (the “Litigation”). The Complaint seeks relief which includes compensatory
damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, an award of treble damages, and such other relief as the court may deem just and proper.
The trial for the Litigation involving the Company is scheduled for July 2015.
The
Company believes the allegations in the complaint are without merit and the Company intends to defend itself in the Litigation.
However, the Company has incurred expenses and the diversion of financial resources and management personnel in responding to
the complaint. Additionally, an adverse determination against the Company in the Litigation may subject us to significant liabilities
or require us to seek licenses that may not be available from third parties on commercially favorable terms, if at all. Further,
an adverse determination against the Company in the Litigation may require us to pay substantial financial damages, which can
be tripled if the infringement is deemed willful, or be required to discontinue or significantly delay development, marketing,
selling and licensing of the Company’s affected products and intellectual property rights.

NOTE
11 – INCOME TAXES
As
of December 31, 2014, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $5,928,809 that may be available to reduce
future years’ taxable income in varying amounts through 2033. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses
have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly,
the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards.
The provision
for Federal income tax consists of the following for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

Due
to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $5,928,809
for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating
loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.
NOTE
12 – LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
The
Company has a working capital deficit, has not yet received revenues from sales of products or services, and has incurred losses
since inception. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from the sale of its common
stock and/or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations. Management’s plans include selling its
equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital requirement and ongoing operations; however, there can be no
assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts.

On
February 11, 2015, the Company issued 74,750,000 shares of Company common stock to satisfy the conversion of $29,900 of a convertible

upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in issuing the securities was based upon the following factors: (a) the issuance of the
securities was an isolated private transaction by us which did not involve a public offering; (b) there was only a one investor
who was an accredited investor; (c) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the securities by us; (d)
the securities were not broken down into smaller denominations; and (e) the issuance of shares was pursuant to a convertible note
payable which was negotiated directly between the investor and the Company.
On
February 12, 2015, the Company issued 37,356,055 shares of Company common stock to satisfy the conversion of $17,333.21 of a convertible

4(2) of the Securities Act in issuing the securities was based upon the following factors: (a) the issuance of the securities

accredited investor; (c) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the securities by us; (d) the securities
were not broken down into smaller denominations; and (e) the issuance of shares was pursuant to a convertible note payable which
was negotiated directly between the investor and the Company.
On
February 18, 2015, the Company closed a financing pursuant to which it issued a convertible note payable (the “Note”)
in the amount of $54,000 to KBM Worldwide, Inc. The Note bears 8% interest and is due on November 9, 2015.
The Note becomes convertible 180 days after the date of the Note. The principal amount of the Note and any accrued interest can
then be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a rate of 58% multiplied by the market price, which is the
average of the lowest three (3) trading prices for the common stock during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the latest
complete trading day prior to the conversion date. The Note also contains certain representations, warranties, covenants
and events of default, and increases in the amount of the principal and interest rates under the Note in the event of such defaults.
The foregoing is only a brief description of the material terms of the Note, and does not purport to be a complete description
of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and such descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to
the Note which is filed as an exhibit to this Quarterly Report. The issuance of the Note was made in reliance on the exemption
provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the offer and sale of securities not involving a public offering. The Company's
reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in issuing the securities was based upon the following factors: (a) the issuance
of the securities was an isolated private transaction by us which did not involve a public offering; (b) there was only a one
investor who was an accredited investor; (c) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the securities by
us; (d) the securities were not broken down into smaller denominations; and (e) the negotiations for the issuance of the securities
took place directly between the investor and the Company.

accordance with ASC 855-10, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to December 31,
2014 to the date these financial statements were issued, and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events
to disclose in these financial statements other than the events described above.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Boards of Directors
Rich
Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Beverly
Hills, California
We
have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Rich Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (formerly Nepia, Inc.), as of March 31, 2014 and 2013,
and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended and the
period from August 9, 2010 (date of inception) to March 31, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. 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 has determined that it 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 includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our 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 Rich
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (formerly Nepia, Inc.), as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and the results of its operations and cash flows for
the years then ended and the period from August 9, 2010 (date of inception) to March 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Rich Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (formerly Nepia, Inc.) will
continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 11 to the financial statements, the Company has not received revenue from sales
of products or services, has a working capital deficit, and has incurred losses from operations since inception. These factors
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard
to these matters are described in Note 11. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH

NOTE
1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature
of Business
On
August 9, 2010 the Company was incorporated as Nepia Inc. in the State of Nevada. From August 9, 2010 to July 18, 2013, the Company
was in the business of developing, manufacturing, and selling small boilers aimed at farmers primarily in Southeast Asia. Beginning
on July 19, 2013, the Company acquired bio-pharmaceutical intellectual property for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
and is entering into phase II human studies. The goal is to perfect this indication for marketing purposes for distribution
world-wide. On August 26, 2013, as a consequence of our new business direction, the Company changed its name to Rich Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. (“Rich” or “the Company”).
On
July 18, 2013, the Company designated, from our 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001, 6,000,000 shares
of Series “A” Preferred Stock. Our Series “A” Preferred Stock has voting rights of 100 votes per share
and votes with common shares as a single class.
On
July 18, 2013, the Company entered into an Asset Assignment Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) with Imagic, LLC
and its principals to acquire certain assets including a US Patent entitled “Phorbol esters as anti-neoplastic and white
blood cell elevating agents” and all related intellectual property associated with the patent. In consideration for the
intellectual property the Company issued 82,767,038 common shares, and 6,000,000 Series “A” Preferred shares. The
common and preferred shares were valued at $123,973. The Company further agreed to use its best efforts to complete a financing
resulting in proceeds of at least $2,000,000. If the Company was unable to raise $400,000 according to the terms of the Assignment
Agreement, the patent reverts back to Imagic, LLC and its principals. On January 17, 2014, the right of reversion was terminated
in exchange for a payment of $20,000.
On
July 19, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Assets and Assumption of Obligations
(the “Sale Agreement”) with our prior officers and directors. Pursuant to the Sale Agreement, the Company transferred
all assets and business operations associated with our boiler business in exchange for assumption of all obligations associated
with that business and cancellation of loans amounting to $28,818. The cancellation of debt was recorded as additional paid-in
capital. In consequence to the Sale Agreement two former officers sold 531,292,500 common shares held by them to our new officer/director.
In turn, our new officer/director agreed to cancel 500,255,434 of those shares he received and returned them to treasury for retirement.
Certain other shareholders also agreed to cancel 262,521,000 common shares.
On
September 5, 2013, the Company increased the authorized common shares, par value $0.001, from 90,000,000 shares to 37,503,000,000
shares. Correspondingly, the Company affirmed a forward split of 416.7 for 1 in which each shareholder was issued 416.7 common
shares for each share held. All share and per share date included in these financial statements has been retrospectively adjusted
to account for the stock split.
Development
Stage Company
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to development-stage
companies. A development-stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have
commenced, and there has been no significant revenues there from.

NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH

NOTE
1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Basis
of Presentation
The
financial statements of the Company have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in U.S. dollars. The Company has adopted a March 31 fiscal
year end.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2014
and 2013 the Company had $12,387 and $1,588, respectively, of unrestricted cash.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related
assets. The useful lives of the assets are as follows:
Computer
equipment | |
| 3
years | |
Long-Lived
and Intangible Assets
The
Company accounts for long-lived and intangible assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate.
The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result
from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an
impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company fully impaired their intangible assets to $0.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses,
amounts due to related parties, stock deposits, and a convertible note payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments
approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise
disclosed in these financial statements.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income
Taxes
Income
taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and
are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax
assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

NOTE
1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Stock-Based
Compensation
Stock-based
compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718. On September 6, 2013, the Company approved the adoption
of Rich Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2013 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the "2013 Plan”). The 2013 Plan is intended to
aid in recruiting and retaining key employees, directors or consultants and to motivate them by providing incentives through the
granting of awards of stock options or other stock based awards. The 2013 Plan is administered by the board of directors. Directors,
officers, employees and consultants and our affiliates are eligible to participate under the 2013 Plan. A total of 60,000,000
common shares have been reserved for awards under the 2013 Plan. During the year ended March 31, 2014, the Company granted 47,503,280
stock options to officers, directors, employees and consultants.
Basic
loss per share
The
basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the
weighted average number of common shares during the year. The diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the
Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as
of the first of the year for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company will recognize revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
The
Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s
results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

The
inventor of the intellectual property which was assigned to Rich Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in July 2013 by Imagic, LLC and Richard
L. Chang’s Holdings, LLC is presently in declaratory relief litigation with Biosuccess Biotech, Co. LTD. (“Biosuccess”),
a company who was previously assigned licensing rights in the intellectual property. In connection with this litigation, on January
17, 2014, the Company received notice of a complaint filed by Biosuccess against the Company, Imagic, LLC, Richard L. Chang’s
Holdings, LLC, and Ben Chang (our CEO and a director) in the United States District Court, Central District of California Western
Division. The Complaint includes allegations of patent and copyright infringement, misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of
fiduciary duty, unfair competition and other causes of actions against the Company, Imagic, LLC, Richard L. Chang’s Holdings,
LLC, and Ben Chang. The Complaint seeks relief which includes compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, an award
of treble damages, and such other relief as the court may deem just and proper.
The
Company believes the allegations in the complaint are without merit and the Company intends to defend itself in the litigation.
However, the Company may incur substantial expenses and the diversion of financial resources and management personnel in responding
to the complaint. Additionally, an adverse determination against us in the litigation may subject us to significant liabilities
or require us to seek licenses that may not be available from third parties on commercially favorable terms, if at all. Further,
an adverse determination against us in the litigation may require us to pay substantial financial damages, which can be tripled
if the infringement is deemed willful, or be required to discontinue or significantly delay development, marketing, selling and
licensing of the Company’s affected products and intellectual property rights.

10 – INCOME TAXES
As
of March 31, 2014, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $3,086,867 that may be available to reduce
future years’ taxable income in varying amounts through 2033. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses
have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly,
the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards.
The provision
for Federal income tax consists of the following for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

Due
to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $3,086,867
for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur net operating
loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.
NOTE
11 – LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
The
Company has a working capital deficit, has not yet received revenues from sales of products or services, and has incurred losses
since inception. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from the sale of its common
stock and/or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations. Management’s plans include selling its
equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital requirement and ongoing operations; however, there can be no
assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts.
