IMPORTANT PREFATORY NOTE
On August 24, 2012 the Company entered into a New License Agreement with Boyd Research, Inc. and related parties. The New License Agreement terminated prior Exclusive Agreements. The New License Agreement terminated our rights to sell AMPSA products in the United States market as of December 31, 2012. As of January 1, 2013 the Company under the New License Agreement has the rights to sell AMPSA products under the New License Agreement to non-US markets, royalty-free.
On April 28, 2014, we received a letter from Mr. J. Christopher Jaczko, a lawyer with the Procopio law firm in San Diego who represents Boyd Research, Inc. and related parties. In his letter, Mr. Jaczko notified us that our license to use the international patents for our AMPSA device, pursuant to our license agreement with his clients effective January 1, 2013, was terminated. The ostensible reason Mr. Jaczko gave was our failure to make certain unspecified payments due under the license agreement to his clients. We disputed the termination, but believed that the costs involved with litigating the termination of the license was not in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. Therefore, the Company decided to move in new direction.

CURRENT BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc. (TSI), is a public company (OTC:TSOI) focused on immune modulation for the treatment of several specific diseases. Immune modulation refers to the ability to upregulate (make more active) or downregulate (make less active) ones immune system.
Activating ones immune system is now a well-accepted method to cure certain cancers, reduce recovery time from viral or bacterial infections and to prevent illness. On the other hand, inhibiting ones immune system is vital for reducing inflammation, autoimmune disorders and allergic reactions.
TSI is developing a range of immune-modulatory agents to target certain cancers, improve maternal and fetal health, fight periodontal disease, and for daily health. TSI has created several subsidiaries and divisions to focus on each of these programs:
Nutraceutical Division TSI has been producing high quality nutraceuticals. Its flagship product, Projuvenol®, is a proprietary mixture containing pterostilbene one of the most potent antioxidants known. TSOI filed a patent application for ProJuvenol® on 07-08-2015 titled: Augmentation of Oncology Immunotherapies by Pterostilbene Containing Compositions.
5
OmniBiome, Inc. - is a subsidiary of TSI, incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 20, 2015, where the intellectual property surrounding probiotics is housed. Current programs focus on the use of probiotics to prevent pre-term labor and on using probiotics to reverse periodontal disease.
MolecuVax, Inc. is a subsidiary of TSI, incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 28, 2015, where the intellectual property surrounding immune-oncology is housed. The programs within MolecuVax include using exosomes derived from various immune cells to attack cancers as well as developing a cancer vaccine against cancers that express a certain protein unique to them.
Summary
TSI has assembled a first-rate scientific advisory board that is leading the company into the most exciting and potentially profitable fields of medicine immune modulation. TSI expects to launch several products that improve peoples health and well-being over the next several months.
Principle Products and Services
Clinical Stage Dexosome
TSOI recently licensed in 2015 a Dexosome Clinical Stage Cancer Immunotherapy Product from Gustave Roussy European Cancer Centre. Planning is still underway as to next steps.
Dexosomes are exosome nanoparticles generated by dendritic cells, which have previously been used by investigators at Anosys, Inc., in collaboration with researchers at Duke University, for treatment of cancer patients as part of an FDA-cleared Phase I clinical trial1. The licensed patent was invented by internationally-renowned immunologists Sebastian Amigorena, Doctor at the Curie Institute, and Laurence Zitvogel, Professor at Gustave Roussy. The patent covers means of generating therapeutically-effective dexosomes, which can act as a platform for loading any tumor antigen desired.
In the area of drug development, much of the risk is taking the technology from the lab to the patient. We are fortunate that the current technology has already been utilized in patients under FDA jurisdiction, and has demonstrated safety with signs of efficacy.
The in-licensing of the current patent augments previously filed patent applications by TSOI, including one filed in November 2015, covering uses of exosomes to stimulate both innate and adaptive arms of the immune response2. The Company plans to leverage the experience of its newest Board Member, Dr. Thomas Ichim, to lead the Dexosome program back into clinical trials. Dr. Ichim has previously patented the manipulation of exosomes in the area of cancer therapy for alleviation of immune suppression3, as well as being published in the peer-reviewed literature in this area4,5.

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

OmniBiome, Inc.
OmniBiome, Inc. is focused on therapeutic / Rx approaches to either utilize or intervene with the systemic effects of the vaginal, lactal-duct and oral microbiomes for improving maternal healthcare and resulting birth outcomes.
The Company will focus initially on developing CLIA Dx services for both pre-pregnancy-associated and pregnancy-associated conditions or diseases where there is a substantive link with microbiome dysbiosis (disruption or imbalance), as well as on restoring eubiosis (proper balance).
In parallel OmniBiome will build a database of aggregated patient data that will later inform development of Rx / therapeutic and medical device & drug-device combination approaches for treating the same conditions or diseases.
MicroBiome Targets
Certain microbiome target markets offer immediate revenue-generating business opportunities such as vaginal and lactal-duct microbiome banking & transplants from mother to child in the case of C-section-born babies, babies of non-nursing mothers, and children under 5 years of age receiving broad-spectrum antibiotics
OmniBiomes main focus will be on developing Dx / Rx products & services for pregnancy-associated conditions or diseases where there is a documented or substantive putative link with microbiome dysbiosis and resulting inflammatory cascades
In parallel the Company will look to create alliances and/or out-license its Medical Device / Drug Device Combinations patent portfolio.
The Company also plans to in-license microbiome - and pregnancy-related Rx & Dx innovations from universities and research institutes with several having been identified.
The Human Microbiome Link
The following microbiomes combined recapitulate approximately 75 - 80 % of the gut microbiome, hence OmniBiome sees no need to focus on the gut microbiome
The Vaginal Microbiome comprises approximately 300 - 600 species of bacteria. 100s of species are transferred to the newborn child orally as the baby passes thru the birth canal. C-section-born children miss this important microbiome transfer
The Breast Milk Microbiome contains between 200 - 700 species of bacteria and is transferred to the child via nursing. Babies of non-nursing mothers miss this equally important transfer.
The Oral Microbiome diversity spectrum also covers 600 species shared with the baby via kissing and sharing eating utensils with both the mother & the father.

MolecuVax is a subsidiary of the Company where the intellectual property surrounding immune-oncology is housed. The programs within MolecuVax include using exosomes derived from various immune cells to attack cancers as well as developing a cancer vaccine against cancers that express a certain protein unique to them.
On February 08, 2016 TSOI licensed its exosome patent filed on 11-20-2015 to MolecuVax titled Exosome Mediated Innate and Adaptive Immune Stimulation for Treatment of Cancer as part of a future generation of immune cell derived nanoparticles, as a means of selectively stimulating the body's own natural defense mechanisms to seek and destroy cancer cells by company collaborators. The patent is focused on a means of manufacturing exosomes that possess high concentrations of proteins found on tumors, which are specifically optimized to stimulate the immune system of cancer patients as a new form of immunotherapy.
This patent was collaboration between Dr. Michael Agadjanyan, Head of the Department of Immunology at the Institute for Molecular Medicine, and Dr. Santosh Kesari, Head of Neuro-Oncology at the John Wayne Cancer Center, both of whom are members of the Scientific Advisory Board of TSOI.
Exosomes are one of the means by which immune system cells communicate with each other. In the current patent we disclose means of generating exosomes in the laboratory, which can be utilized as a nanoparticle-based cancer vaccine to stimulate immune response to tumors in patients suffering from cancer.
Immunotherapy of cancer offers the possibility of selectively treating cancer without the side effects of radiation and chemotherapy. The recent FDA approval of immune stimulatory drugs such as checkpoint inhibitors strongly supports the advancement of this natural means of using the body's own immune system to treat the cancer. Immunotherapy offers possibility to help patients in which chemotherapy and radiotherapy no longer work, without the side effects of these approaches.

Various agencies of the state and localities in which we operate and in which our products are sold also regulate our business, such as the California Department of Health Services, Food and Drug Branch. The areas of our business that these and other authorities regulate include, among others:
·
product claims and advertising;
·
product labels;
·
product ingredients; and
·
how we package, distribute, import, export, sell and store our products.
The FDA, in particular, regulates the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, storage, labeling, promotion, distribution and sale of vitamins and other nutritional supplements in the United States, while the FTC regulates marketing and advertising claims. The FDA issued a final rule called Statements Made for Dietary Supplements Concerning the Effect of the Product on the Structure or Function of the Body, which includes regulations requiring companies, their suppliers and manufacturers to meet Good Manufacturing Practices in the preparation, packaging, storage and shipment of their products. Management is committed to meeting or exceeding the standards set by the FDA.
The FDA has also issued regulations governing the labeling and marketing of dietary and nutritional supplement products. They include:
·
the identification of dietary or nutritional supplements and their nutrition and ingredient labeling;
·
requirements related to the wording used for claims about nutrients, health claims, and statements of nutritional support;
·
labeling requirements for dietary or nutritional supplements for which high potency and antioxidant claims are made;
·
notification procedures for statements on dietary and nutritional supplements; and
·
pre-market notification procedures for new dietary ingredients in nutritional supplements.
The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) revised the existing provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act concerning the composition and labeling of dietary supplements and defined dietary supplements to include vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids and other dietary substances used to supplement diets. DSHEA generally provides a regulatory framework to help ensure safe, quality dietary supplements and the dissemination of accurate information about such products. The FDA is generally prohibited from regulating active ingredients in dietary supplements as drugs unless product claims, such as claims that a product may heal, mitigate, cure or prevent an illness, disease or malady, trigger drug status.
The Company is also subject to a variety of other regulations in the United States, including those relating to taxes, labor and employment, import and export, and intellectual property.
Employees
As of December 31, 2015, we had three full-time employees, all non-union. We believe that our relations with our employees are good.
ITEM 1A
RISK FACTORS
As a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide a statement of risk factors. However, we believe this information may be valuable to our shareholders for this filing. We reserve the right to not provide risk factors in our future filings. Our primary risk factors and other considerations include:
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements concerning our future programs, expenses, revenue, liquidity and cash needs as well as our plans and strategies. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and we assume no obligation to update this information, except as required by applicable laws and regulations. Numerous factors could cause actual results to differ significantly from the results described in these forward-looking statements, including the following risk factors.
11
Our liquidity and capital resources are very limited.
Our ability to fund operating activities is also dependent upon our ability to access external sources of financing and our ability to effectively manage our expenses in relation to revenues. Our ability to fund working capital and anticipated capital expenditures will depend on our future performance, which is subject to general economic conditions specific to the health, supplements and nutrition products industries, consumer demand for our products, competition and other factors that are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that our operations and access to external sources of financing will continue to provide resources sufficient to satisfy our liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business.
We will require significant additional external financing to implement our business plan.
We will require external financing to sustain our operations, support our expansion, achieve or maintain profitability, or, should we become subject to unforeseen events or circumstances, continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure any such external financing, or, if we are able to secure such external financing, that it will be on terms favorable, or even acceptable, to us. Any inability to achieve or sustain profitability or otherwise secure external financing would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations, raising substantial doubts as to our ability to continue as a going concern, and we may ultimately be forced to seek protection from creditors under the bankruptcy laws or cease operations, which may result in a substantial or complete loss of invested capital.
We may not be able to effectively manage our potential growth and the execution of our business plan.
Our potential growth and the execution of our business plan together are likely to place significant strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources. To effectively manage our potential growth and execute our business plan, we will need to, among other things:
·
retain additional personnel across several departments in the Company;
·
develop strong customer loyalty for new products in a crowded competitive marketplace;
·
continue to establish and continue to increase awareness of our brands;
·
price our products and services at points which will allow us to maximize sales while at the same time maximizing gross profit margins;
·
establish, maintain, expand and manage multiple relationships with various vendors, strategic partners, licensees and other third parties, including suppliers of the products we sell on our website and elsewhere, warehousing distributors, shipping companies and others;
·
rapidly respond to competitive developments, particularly when new high-demand products become available;
·
build an operations structure to support our business and provide efficient and effective customer service and support;
·
expand our IT infrastructure to respond to increasing customer traffic to our website, demand for content from site users and to manage growing e-commerce transactions;
·
establish and maintain effective financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures;
·
control our expenses;
·
provide competitive employee salaries and benefit packages; and,
·
avoid lawsuits and other adverse claims.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to accomplish any or all of the above goals. If we prove unable to effectively execute our business plan or manage our growth, it is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, including liquidity and profitability, and our results of operations.
12
If our proposed product sales model does not successfully operate at a profit our growth strategy may be impeded.
To effectively expand and meet our growth objectives our products sales model must be executed upon in a profitable manner. Profitability is dependent upon a variety of factors, some beyond our control, including, but not limited to the amount of traffic we can consistently attract to our brand, to retail sales in brick and mortar retailers, to our website, and our ability to stock or otherwise make available products that our customers purchase, our ability to stock or otherwise make available the best new products as they enter the market, our ability to provide consistent and superior customer service, the general economic conditions, particularly in the U.S., that could impact the amount of money customers spend collectively on the products we sell, and/or that could reduce the amount of money our average customer spends, and/or could reduce the number or frequency of repeat orders for products, and/or could result in customers finding products in other venues if they can find those products for a lower price. Other factors that could impact our ability to execute on our business model in a profitable manner include, but are not limited to, competition in our markets, recruiting, training and retaining qualified personnel and management, maintenance of required local, state and federal governmental approvals and permits, costs associated with principal component products and supplies, delivery shortages or interruptions, consumer trends, our ability to finance operations externally, changes in supply or prices of the products we sell and disruptions or business failures among our product suppliers, distributors, warehouses or shippers. Any failure to operate in a profitable manner could hurt our ability to meet our growth objectives by attracting licensees, and our business, financial condition, including liquidity and profitability, and our results of operations would be negatively affected.
If we cannot stock, warehouse or otherwise provide product to customers in a consistent, reliable and cost-effective manner our growth strategy may be impeded.
As our growth strategy depends to a large extent on our ability to sell various products to consumers on our website and in traditional brick and mortar retailers, if we cannot supply those products in a consistent, reliable and cost-effective manner, we may lose customers. To accomplish a consistent, reliable and cost-effective method for supplying product to customers, we must successfully engage with suppliers at a number of levels, including warehousing agreements, stocking agreements and other forms of distribution. Our ability to conclude such arrangements with specific product suppliers may involve the need for trade finance, purchasing agreement finance and other capital. In addition, we may encounter problems in fulfilling orders due to business conditions among the products companies themselves, many of which problems are beyond our control. If we are unable to establish and continue such agreements and structures with products companies, our growth strategy may be impeded, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition, including liquidity and profitability, and our results of operations.
We face significant competition for our products.
The markets in which we operate are intensely competitive, continually evolving and, in some cases, subject to rapid change. Our competitors include:
·
traditional and well established companies with recognized and well patronized brands in the nutritional supplements and health products industry segment;
·
entrenched nutritional supplements and health products companies with well known customer on-line services and portals and other high-traffic web sites that provide sales access to healthcare and nutritional supplements and related products; and
·
companies that focus on providing on-line and/or off-line healthcare related content, including some that promote competitor brands.
Many of our competitors have greater financial, technical, product development, marketing and other resources than we do. These companies may be better known than we are and have more customers than we do. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against these companies or any alliances they have formed or may form. If we are unable to compete with one or more of our competitors, our growth strategy may be impeded, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition, including liquidity and profitability, and our results of operations.
We initially and primarily depend on a single line of product for our revenue.
Although we intend and expect to develop and introduce new nutraceutical products, we currently market and sell Projuvenol©, a pterostilbene based system, T-Rx and Vital. We currently do not have a broad portfolio of other products completed that we could rely on to support our operations if we were to experience any difficulty with the manufacture, marketing, sale, or distribution of our current products.
13
Government regulation could adversely affect our business.
Our products and their associated component ingredients are subject to existing and potential government regulation. Our failure, or the failure of our business partners or third party providers, to accurately anticipate the application of laws and regulations affecting our products and the manner in which we deliver them, or any failure to comply, could create liability for us, result in adverse publicity, or negatively affect our business. In addition, new laws and regulations, or new interpretations of existing laws and regulations, may be adopted with respect to consumer protection and other issues, including pricing, products liability, copyrights and patents, distribution and characteristics and quality of products and services. We cannot predict whether these laws or regulations will change or how such changes will affect our business. Any of this government regulation could impact our growth strategy, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition, including liquidity and profitability, and our results of operations.
Third parties may claim that we are infringing their intellectual property, and we could suffer significant litigation or licensing expense or be prevented from providing certain services, and which may otherwise harm our business.
We could be subject to claims that we are misappropriating or infringing intellectual property, trade secrets or other proprietary rights of others. These claims, even if not meritorious, could be expensive to defend and divert managements attention from our operations. If we become liable to third parties for infringing these rights, we could be required to pay substantial damage awards and to develop non-infringing products, obtain a license or cease selling the products that use or contain the infringing intellectual property. We may be unable to develop non-infringing products or obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any claims against our company for infringement could impede our growth strategy, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition, including liquidity and profitability, and our results of operations.
We may be subject to claims brought against us as a result of product associated content we provide.
Consumers are reasonably expected to access health-related information regarding our products through our on-line web site. If our content, or content we obtain from third parties, contains inaccuracies, it is possible that consumers or others may sue us for various causes of action. Although our planned web site contains terms and conditions, including disclaimers of liability, that are intended to reduce or eliminate our liability, the law governing the validity and enforceability of on-line agreements with consumers that provide the terms and conditions for use of our public or private portals are unenforceable. A finding by a court that these agreements are invalid and that we are subject to liability could harm our business and require costly changes to our business. We have planned editorial procedures in place to provide quality control of the information that we publish or provide. However, we cannot assure you that our editorial and other quality control procedures will be sufficient to ensure that there are no errors or omissions in particular content. Even if potential claims do not result in liability to us, the fact that we would need to investigate and defend against these claims could be expensive and time consuming and could divert managements attention away from our operations. In addition, our business is in part based on establishing a reputation amongst consumers that our portals as trustworthy and dependable sources of healthcare information. Allegations of impropriety or inaccuracy, even if unfounded, could therefore harm our reputation and business, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition, including liquidity and profitability, and our results of operations.
Changes in commodity and other operating costs or supply chain and business disruptions could adversely affect our results of operations.
Changes in product costs are a part of our business; any increase in the prices that suppliers charge for their products could adversely affect our operating results. We remain susceptible to increases in prices as a result of factors beyond our control, such as general economic conditions, seasonal fluctuations, weather conditions, demand, safety concerns, product recalls, labor disputes and government regulations. We rely on third-party distribution companies to deliver ingredients to our manufacturers and ultimately our products to customers. Interruption of distribution services due to financial distress or other issues could adversely affect our operations.
14
We face substantial competition in attracting and retaining qualified senior management and key personnel and may be unable to develop and grow our business if we cannot attract and retain such senior management and key personnel.
As an early stage company, our ability to develop and grow our business, to a large extent, depends upon our ability to attract, hire and retain highly qualified and knowledgeable senior management and key personnel who possess the skills and experience necessary to satisfy our business needs. Our ability to attract and retain such senior management and key personnel will depend on numerous factors, including our ability to offer salaries, benefits and professional growth opportunities that are comparable with and competitive to those offered by more established companies operating in our marketplace. We may be required to invest significant time and resources in attracting and retaining additional senior management and key personnel as needed. Moreover, many of the companies with which we will compete for any such individuals have greater financial and other resources, affording them the ability to undertake more extensive and aggressive hiring campaigns, than we can. The normal running of our operations may be interrupted, and our financial condition and results of operations negatively affected, as a result of any inability on our part to attract or retain the services of qualified and experienced senior management and key personnel, or should our prospective key personnel refuse to serve, or, once appointed, leave prior to a suitable replacement being found.
Risks Associated With Our Restricted Securities
Because there is currently a limited public trading market for our common stock, investor may not be able to resell stock.
Our stock is now traded in OTC Markets under the stock symbol TSOI, which results in a very illiquid and limited market for our common stock.
The Company is currently delinquent in its reporting obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Company has not filed its annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015, nor any of the quarterly reports for the periods ending March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014, September 30, 2014, March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015, September 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016. The Companys common stock listing on the Pink Sheets currently has a Yield symbol affiliated with it indicating that there is limited public information available about the Company. The Yield affiliation also serves as a warning to potential investors that the Company may not be publishing adequate public information and only has published limited financial information and is delinquent in its SEC filings.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
We are required to comply with the provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which require us to maintain an ongoing evaluation and integration of the internal controls of our business.
We evaluated our existing controls as of December 31, 2015. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Readers are directed to review that portion of this Form 10-K entitled Item 9A Controls and Procedures for a detailed disclosure.
Under Section 404 and the SECs rules, a company cannot find that its internal control over financial reporting is effective if any material weaknesses exist in its controls over financial reporting.
Our business changed materially on April 09, 2014 when we lost the right to sell AMPSA Products.
Boyd Research Inc. gave notice to TSOI that we were in default on amounts owed for International Patent Maintenance Fees on April 28, 2014.
Section8.2(a) of the License Agreement provides that if TSOI fails to cure [its] default within the applicable cure period, Licensor shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement.
TSOI disputed the amounts owed but ultimately was unable to cure this default and Boyd Research Inc. exercised their contractual rights under the August 24, 2012 MDRA and terminated our license agreement to market AMPSA products Internationally.
There is currently no liquid trading market for our common stock and we cannot ensure that one will ever develop or be sustained.
The trading market for our common stock is currently not liquid. We cannot predict how liquid the market for our common stock might become. Our common stock is quoted in OTC Markets under the symbol TSOI.
15
Our common stock may be deemed a penny stock, which would make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.
Our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules adopted under the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $4.00 per share, other than companies that have had average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years or that have tangible net worth of at least $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than established customers complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities and investors may find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.
Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
If our stockholders have the right to sell substantial amounts of common stock in the public market, e.g. upon the expiration of any statutory holding period under Rule 144, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an overhang and in anticipation of which the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future, at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate, more difficult.
The elimination of monetary liability against our directors and officers under the Companys Articles of Incorporation and Nevada law, and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees, may result in substantial expenditures by the Company.
Article 6 of our Articles of Incorporation exculpates our directors and officers from certain monetary liabilities. Article 7 of our Articles of Incorporation provides that we shall indemnify all directors (and all persons serving at our request as a director or officer of another corporation) to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.
Further pursuant to Article 7, the expenses of the indemnified person incurred in defending a civil suit or proceeding must be paid by us as incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding under receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified person to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by us.
The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in us incurring substantial expenditures, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage us from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders.
Public company compliance may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers and directors.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related rules implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public entity, these rules and regulations increase compliance costs and make certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public entity, these rules and regulations also make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve as directors or as executive officers.
We do not plan to pay any cash or stock dividends in the foreseeable future.
The payment of dividends upon our capital stock is solely within the discretion of our future board of directors and is dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions contained in our future financing instruments and any other factors our board of directors may deem relevant. We have never declared or paid any cash or stock dividends on our capital stock and we currently anticipate that we will retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business and, as such, do not intend on paying any cash or stock dividends in the foreseeable future.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See Forward-Looking Statements elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc. is a Nevada corporation which was incorporated on August 6, 2007 under the name Friendly Auto Dealers, Inc. In the first quarter of 2011, we acquired Splint Decisions, Inc., and changed our name from Friendly Auto Dealers, Inc., to Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc., and our ticker symbol from FYAD to TSOI. This Annual Report on Form 10-K, and the financial statements included herein, reflect the treatment of Splint Decisions, Inc., as the accounting acquirer in the transaction. Our principal executive office is located at 4093 Oceanside Blvd., Suite B, Oceanside, California 92056, our telephone number is (760) 295-7208 and our website is www.therapeuticsolutionsint.com. The reference to our website does not constitute incorporation by reference of the information contained on our website.
Our common stock is currently quoted on the Pink Sheets under the symbol TSOI. There currently is a limited public market for our common stock. A limited public market for our stock could make it difficult to sell shares in our stock. The Restricted Securities offered hereby are a speculative investment.

Description of Business until April 28, 2014
Until April 28, 2014 the Company sold (directly and through distributors and sublicensees), in non-US countries, plastic intraoral devices known as Anterior Midpoint Stop Appliances (AMPSA Products). Our customers were dentists and doctors. The AMPSA Products are used for the treatment and prevention of common neurological and temporomandibular disorders including migraine headaches, migraine pain and bruxism.
On April 28, 2014, we received a letter from Mr. J. Christopher Jaczko, a lawyer with the Procopio law firm in San Diego who represents Boyd Research, Inc., and related parties. In his letter, Mr. Jaczko notified us that our license to use the international patents for our AMPSA device, pursuant to our license agreement with his clients effective January 1, 2013, was terminated. The ostensible reason Mr. Jaczko gave was our failure to make certain unspecified payments due under the license agreement to his clients. We disputed the termination, but believed that the costs involved with litigating the termination of the New License was not in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. Therefore, the Company decided to move in new direction.
CURRENT BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Therapeutic Solutions International is a public company (OTC:TSOI) focused on immune modulation for the treatment of several specific diseases. Immune modulation refers to the ability to upregulate (make more active) or downregulate (make less active) ones immune system.
Activating ones immune system is now a well-accepted method to cure certain cancers, reduce recovery time from viral or bacterial infections and to prevent illness. On the other hand, inhibiting ones immune system is vital for reducing inflammation, autoimmune disorders and allergic reactions.
TSI is developing a range of immune-modulatory agents to target certain cancers, improve maternal and fetal health, fight periodontal disease, and for daily health. TSI has created several subsidiaries and divisions to focus on each of these programs:
Nutraceutical Division TSI has been producing very high quality nutraceuticals. Its flagship product, Projuvenol®, is a proprietary mixture containing pterostilbene one of the most potent antioxidants known. TSOI filed a patent application for ProJuvenol® on 07-08-2015 titled: Augmentation of Oncology Immunotherapies by Pterostilbene Containing Compositions.
OmniBiome, Inc. - is a subsidiary of TSI where the intellectual property surrounding probiotics is housed. Current programs focus on the use of probiotics to prevent pre-term labor and on using probiotics to reverse periodontal disease.
MolecuVax, Inc. is a subsidiary of TSI where the intellectual property surrounding immune-oncology is housed. The programs within MolecuVax include using exosomes derived from various immune cells to attack cancers as well as developing a cancer vaccine against cancers that express a certain protein unique to them.
Summary
TSI has assembled a first-rate scientific advisory board that is leading the company into the most exciting and potentially profitable fields of medicine immune modulation. TSI expects to launch several products that improve peoples health and well-being over the next several months.
20
Clinical Stage Dexosome
TSOI recently licensed in 2015 a Dexosome Clinical Stage Cancer Immunotherapy Product from Gustave Roussy European Cancer Centre. Planning is still underway as to next steps.
Dexosomes are exosome nanoparticles generated by dendritic cells, which have previously been used by investigators at Anosys, Inc., in collaboration with researchers at Duke University, for treatment of cancer patients as part of an FDA-cleared Phase I clinical trial1. The licensed patent was invented by internationally-renowned immunologists Sebastian Amigorena, Doctor at the Curie Institute, and Laurence Zitvogel, Professor at Gustave Roussy. The patent covers means of generating therapeutically-effective dexosomes, which can act as a platform for loading any tumor antigen desired.
In the area of drug development, much of the risk is taking the technology from the lab to the patient. We are fortunate that the current technology has already been utilized in patients under FDA jurisdiction, and has demonstrated safety with signs of efficacy.
The in-licensing of the current patent augments previously filed patent applications by TSOI, including one filed in November 2015, covering uses of exosomes to stimulate both innate and adaptive arms of the immune response2. The Company plans to leverage the experience of its newest Board Member, Dr. Thomas Ichim, to lead the Dexosome program back into clinical trials. Dr. Ichim has previously patented the manipulation of exosomes in the area of cancer therapy for alleviation of immune suppression3, as well as being published in the peer-reviewed literature in this area4,5.

Nutraceutical Division (TSI)
ProJuvenol® is a powerful synergistic blend of complex anti-aging ingredients inspired by nature to help promote cellular rejuvenation and healthy functionality for everyday living. Based upon pterostilbene, one of nature's unique and intelligent antioxidants/anti-inflammatories. ProJuvenol includes a scientifically valid blend of interactive ingredients with anti-aging and cellular protective properties to help support optimal health and provide the benefits of mental alertness and physical well-being.
Pterostilbene (pronounced "tero-STILL-bean") has created a buzz in the world of nutrition research. Scientists discovered this powerful antioxidant several decades ago and have since found that it rivals its cousin resveratrol's multi-functional abilities, and may actually exceed its anti-aging and health promoting potential. Found naturally in blueberries, pterostilbene has been shown in emerging experimental studies to exhibit up to 7 times greater bioavailability than resveratrol as well as better metabolic stability. This translates to potentially higher levels of pterostilbene in the blood upon ingestion, and longer lasting effects in the body compared to resveratrol. More simply put, it remains active in your body for a much greater period of time and during this enhanced bio-available period your body has the opportunity to allow it to utilize this antioxidant molecule.
A large body of experimental research has now documented a wide range of potential health effects associated with pterostilbene. In fact, the more researchers study pterostilbene, the greater its human health potential becomes. In addition to being a powerful antioxidant, emerging experimental research suggests this plant compound may also help regulate cell growth, promote fat metabolism, support glucose utilization, influence brain function, and improve the body's natural detoxification enzymes that are required to help protect cells against potentially damaging compounds from the environment.
21
Projuvenol includes:
Pterostilbene (trans-3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxystilbene) is a natural dietary compound and the primary antioxidant component of blueberries. It has increased bioavailability in comparison to other stilbene compounds, which may enhance its dietary benefit and possibly contribute to a valuable clinical effect. Multiple studies have demonstrated the antioxidant activity of pterostilbene in both in vitro and in vivo models illustrating both preventative and therapeutic benefits. The antioxidant activity of pterostilbene has been implicated in anticarcinogenesis, modulation of neurological disease, anti-inflammation, attenuation of vascular disease, and amelioration of diabetes.
Alpha lipoic acid (ALA), a coenzyme that is essential for producing cellular energy, assists in deactivating cell-damaging free radicals and renewing the body's antioxidant defense system. ALA supports a healthy liver function and enhanced insulin sensitivities.
Superoxide dismutase (SOD), an essential enzyme found in all living cells, it is a powerful cellular protector which helps break down potentially harmful oxygen molecules in cells, assisting in the prevention of damage to tissues. Green coffee bean extract, which contains antioxidant polyphenols and plant compounds that help support a variety of biological processes including fat and glucose metabolism. Projuvenol uses the only known, patented coated source of Superoxide dismutase, to ensure that your body has the ability to absorb and utilize this ingredient. Uncoated versions of SOD have not been shown to be effective when taken orally, ProJuvenol does not include ingredients that are not shown to possess the ability to convey the benefits attributable to that ingredient.
DMAE, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, an ingredient known to help promote choline production, which is required for healthy neurological and cognitive function. DMAE has been shown to have the ability to scavenge specific types of free radicals, it is also has been shown to assist in improving memory and mood; boosting thinking skills and intelligence; and increasing physical energy, oxygen efficiency, athletic performance, and muscle reflexes. Piperine for bio-enhanced nutrient absorption. Piperine has been clinically tested in the United States. Piperine significantly enhances the bioavailability of various supplement nutrients through increased absorption. We have included this in ProJuvenol because we believe that it significantly increases the absorption of the active ingredients found in ProJuvenol.
Curcumin is an anti-inflammatory molecule in the turmeric root, a relative of ginger.
Patent:
TSOI filed a patent covering the use of its ProJuvenol® product, as well as various pterostilbene compositions, for use in augmenting efficacy of existing immuno-oncology drugs that are currently on the market. The patent is based on the ability of pterostilbene, one of the major ingredients of ProJuvenol®, to reduce oxidative stress produced by cancer cells, which in turn protects the immune system from cancer mediated immune suppression.
Immuno-Oncology, described by Science Magazine as 'Breakthrough of the Year1' offers the possibility of not only killing tumor cells in a non-toxic manner, but also establishing immunological memory, which patrols the body and destroys recurrent tumor cells. While great progress has been made in developing drugs that stimulate the immune system to recognize and kill tumors, a major pitfall of current approaches is that tumors produce chemicals and oxidative stress that suppresses the immune system, thus limiting efficacy of immune therapies.
Pterostilbene, which is chemically related to resveratrol, has been published to possess anticancer2,3, antioxidant4, and anti-inflammatory activities5. Through the filing of the recent patent, the company is exploring whether its lead product, ProJuvenol®, may be useful as a nutraceutical adjuvant to conventional cancer immunotherapies.
The importance of proper nutrition in the context of immunotherapy cannot be overstated. Studies on one of the original cancer immunotherapies, interleukin-2, demonstrated that efficacy was related to anti-oxidant content in the patients at time of therapy6. Accordingly, we are seeking through the current work to identify whether our currently marketed product, ProJuvenol®, may be utilized as part of an integrative approach to building up the immune response of cancer patients.

OmniBiome, Inc.
OmniBiome, Inc. is focused on therapeutic / Rx approaches to either utilize or intervene with the systemic effects of the vaginal, lactal-duct and oral microbiomes for improving maternal healthcare and resulting birth outcomes.
The Company will focus initially on developing CLIA Dx services for both pre-pregnancy-associated and pregnancy-associated conditions or diseases where there is a substantive link with microbiome dysbiosis (disruption or imbalance), as well as on restoring eubiosis (proper balance).
In parallel OmniBiome will build a database of aggregated patient data that will later inform development of Rx / therapeutic and medical device & drug-device combination approaches for treating the same conditions or diseases.
MicroBiome Targets
Certain microbiome target markets offer immediate revenue-generating business opportunities such as vaginal and lactal-duct microbiome banking & transplants from mother to child in the case of C-section-born babies, babies of non-nursing mothers, and children under 5 years of age receiving broad-spectrum antibiotics
OmniBiomes main focus will be on developing Dx / Rx products & services for pregnancy-associated conditions or diseases where there is a documented or substantive putative link with microbiome dysbiosis and resulting inflammatory cascades
In parallel the Company will look to create alliances and/or out license its Medical Device / Drug Device Combinations patent portfolio.
The Company also plans to in-license microbiome- and pregnancy-related Rx & Dx innovations from universities and research institutes several have already been identified.
The Human Microbiome Link
The following microbiomes combined recapitulate approximately 75 - 80 % of the gut microbiome, hence OmniBiome sees no need to focus on the gut microbiome
The Vaginal Microbiome comprises approximately 300 - 600 species of bacteria. 100s of species are transferred to the newborn child orally as the baby passes thru the birth canal C-section-born children miss this important microbiome transfer
The Breast Milk Microbiome contains between 200 - 700 species of bacteria and is transferred to the child via nursing. Babies of non-nursing mothers miss this equally important transfer.
The Oral Microbiome diversity spectrum also covers 600 species shared with the baby via kissing and sharing eating utensils with both the mother & the father.

MolecuVax, Inc.
MolecuVax is a subsidiary of TSI where the intellectual property surrounding immune-oncology is housed. The programs within MolecuVax include using exosomes derived from various immune cells to attack cancers as well as developing a cancer vaccine against cancers that express a certain protein unique to them.
On February 08, 2016 TSOI licensed its exosome patent filed on 11-20-2015 to MolecuVax titled Exosome Mediated Innate and Adaptive Immune Stimulation for Treatment of Cancer as part of a future generation of immune cell derived nanoparticles, as a means of selectively stimulating the body's own natural defense mechanisms to seek and destroy cancer cells by company collaborators. The patent is focused on a means of manufacturing exosomes that possess high concentrations of proteins found on tumors, which are specifically optimized to stimulate the immune system of cancer patients as a new form of immunotherapy.
This patent was a collaboration between Dr. Michael Agadjanyan, Head of the Department of Immunology at the Institute for Molecular Medicine, and Dr. Santosh Kesari, Head of Neuro-Oncology at the John Wayne Cancer Center, both of whom are members of the Scientific Advisory Board of TSOI.
Exosomes are one of the means by which immune system cells communicate with each other. In the current patent we disclose means of generating exosomes in the laboratory, which can be utilized as a nanoparticle-based cancer vaccine to stimulate immune response to tumors in patients suffering from cancer.
Immunotherapy of cancer offers the possibility of selectively treating cancer without the side effects of radiation and chemotherapy. The recent FDA approval of immune stimulatory drugs such as checkpoint inhibitors strongly supports the advancement of this natural means of using the body's own immune system to treat the cancer. Immunotherapy offers possibility to help patients in which chemotherapy and radiotherapy no longer work, without the side effects of these approaches.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported within those financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, contingencies, litigation and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experiences and on various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results under circumstances and conditions different than those assumed could result in differences from the estimated amounts in the financial statements. There have been no material changes to these policies during 2013.
Results of Operations
We had a net loss of approximately $0.6 million in 2013 compared to a net loss of approximately $0.8 million in 2012.
Our international sales of products for the 12 months of 2013 was approximately $0.3 million versus sales in 2012 of approximately $0.3 million. The Company did not have a license to sell products in the U.S. for 2013. Domestic sales of $1.8 million for 2012 have been reclassified as discontinued operations. See Note 10 to the Financial Statements.
Operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were approximately $0.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively, a decrease of approximately $1.9 million. This decrease was due to the Company no longer having a license to sell products in the U.S. Sales for 2013 were for international sales only.
Selling expenses decreased approximately $0.090 million for 2013 as compared to 2012. This decrease was due to the Company no longer having a license to sell products in the U.S. Selling expenses of approximately $4 thousand were reclassified as discontinued operations for 2012. See Note 10 to the Financial Statements.
General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $.070 million for 2013 as compared to 2012. This decrease was due to the Company no longer having a license to sell products in the U.S.
Salaries, wages and related costs decreased approximately $0.668 million for 2013 as compared to 2012. This decrease was primarily due to reductions in employees due to the Company no longer having a license to sell products in the U.S.
We paid $0 in royalties for sales of product the year ended December 31, 2013 versus approximately $106,247 for 2012 for international sales. Sales of international products for 2013 were royalty free. Royalty expenses of approximately $550 million were reclassified as discontinued operations for 2012. See Note 10 to the Financial Statements.
24
Amortization and depreciation was approximately $0.023 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 versus approximately $0.18 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Consulting fees decreased approximately $0.393 million for 2013 as compared to 2012. This decrease was primarily due to the Company retaining consultants during 2013.
Legal and professional fees decreased approximately $0.433 million for 2013 as compared to 2012. This decrease was primarily due to legal fees during 2012 which resulted in the MDRA and the New License Agreement, and to legal assistance with activities related to the transitions contemplated by those agreements.
As noted above, the nature and conditions of our business changed substantially on January 1, 2013, due to licensing changes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2013, our cash and cash equivalents totaled only about $12,500 and our current liabilities had increased to about $786,000. Particularly in view of our no longer having the right to sell our Products in the United States beginning January 1, 2013, our current cash reserves are not adequate for our needs. The Company plans to continue to reduce costs and seek additional funding for operations.
There is no guarantee we will receive the required financing to complete our business strategies, and it is uncertain whether future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Our auditor has stated in their opinion that there is substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
A.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) for the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2013. Based on this evaluation, these officers concluded that as of December 31, 2013, these disclosure controls and procedures were adequate to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.

B.
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and the board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; (iii) provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and (iv) provide reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect every misstatement. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because changes in conditions may occur or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. This assessment was based on the criteria for effective internal control described in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO). Based on its assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 was not effective and was subject to material weaknesses.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria established in the COSO framework:
·
There is a significant lack of definition and segregation of duties throughout our financial and financial reporting processes;
·
Currently we have no written policies or procedures that clearly define roles in the financial close and reporting process. The various roles and responsibilities related to this process need to be defined, assigned, documented, updated and communicated; and
·
We fail to have an audit committee or other independent committee that is independent of management to assess internal control over financial reporting.
C.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 that materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B
OTHER INFORMATION.
On December 18, 2012, by action of our Board of Directors, we adopted a 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, covering 12,000,000 shares of common stock which may from time to time be issued to, or subjected to stock options in favor of, our service providers. We registered these shares under the Securities Act of 1933 by filing with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8.

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

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial positions of Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Companys recurring losses over past years and working capital deficits raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

THERAPEUTIC SOLUTIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2013 and 2012
Note 1 Nature of Business
Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc. (the Company) was organized August 6, 2007 under the name Friendly Auto Dealers, Inc., under the laws of the State of Nevada. In the first quarter of 2011 the Company changed its name from Friendly Auto Dealers, Inc. to Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc., and acquired Splint Decisions, Inc., a California corporation organized September 21, 2010 (Splint). Splint is treated as the accounting acquirer in the accompanying financial statements.
Until April 28, 2014 the Company sold (directly and through distributors and sublicensees), in non-US countries, plastic intraoral devices known as Anterior Midpoint Stop Appliances (AMPSA Products). Our customers were dentists and doctors. The AMPSA Products, which are used for the treatment and prevention of common neurological and temporomandibular disorders including migraine headaches, migraine pain and bruxism.
On April 28, 2014, we received a letter from Mr. J. Christopher Jaczko, a lawyer with the Procopio law firm in San Diego who represents Boyd Research, Inc. and related parties. In his letter, Mr. Jaczko notified us that our license to use the international patents for our AMPSA device, pursuant to our license agreement with his clients effective January 1, 2013, was terminated. The ostensible reason Mr. Jaczko gave was our failure to make certain unspecified payments due under the license agreement to his clients. We disputed the termination, but believed that the costs involved with litigating the termination of the New License was not in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. Therefore, the Company moved in a new direction.
Currently the Company is involved in the medical sciences market. We are focused on three different areas within the same market. They are outlined as follows:
·
Dietary Supplements
·
Immunotherapy, and
·
Fetal - Maternal Health
Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
For the Statements of Cash Flows, all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. Other assets include restricted cash of $10,000 that is used to secure a company credit card.
Inventory
Inventory consists of finished goods, and is stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company records cost of sales using the moving average cost method. There was no excess or obsolete inventory reserve at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Amortization is computed using the straight line method over the term of the agreement.
F-6
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consisted primarily of intellectual properties such as regulatory product approvals and patents. The Company does not own any such intangible assets as of December 31, 2013. On August 24, 2012, the Company entered into a New License Agreement, which terminated a prior Exclusive Agreements and continued, for the remainder of 2012, the exclusive worldwide license to make and sell the chairside AMPSA Products, as well as (other than in the United States) dental-laboratory semi-custom AMPSA Products. Beginning on January 1, 2013, the New License Agreement granted the Company a royalty-free nonexclusive worldwide license to make and sell certain products under certain Boyd Parties patent rights and related technology (but excluding the United States market). On April 28, 2014, the Company received a letter from Mr. J. Christopher Jaczko, a lawyer with the Procopio law firm in San Diego who represents Boyd Research, Inc. and related parties. In his letter, Mr. Jaczko notified us that our license to use the international patents for our AMPSA device, pursuant to our license agreement with his clients effective January 1, 2013, was terminated See Note 5 License Agreements.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 "Income Taxes," which codified SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" and FIN 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
Going Concern
The Company's financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced recurring losses over the past years which have resulted in stockholders accumulated deficits of approximately $2,336 thousand and a working capital deficit of approximately $657 thousand at December 31 2013. These conditions raise uncertainty about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
The Companys ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to secure additional financing, increase sales of its products and attain profitable operations. It is the intent of management to continue to raise additional capital. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure such additional funds or obtain such on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Share Based Expenses
ASC 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation," which codified SFAS 123, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based payments awarded to employees, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights. Such payments may be classified as either equity or liabilities. The Company should determine if a present obligation to settle the share-based payment transaction in cash or other assets exists. A present obligation to settle in cash or other assets exists if: (a) the option to settle by issuing equity instruments lacks commercial substance or (b) the present obligation is implied because of an entity's past practices or stated policies. If a present obligation exists, the transaction should be recognized as a liability; otherwise, the transaction should be recognized as equity. See also Note 6 Equity Transactions.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50 "Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees," which codified SFAS 123, and the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus in Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services". Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction should be determined at the earlier of the performance commitment date or performance completion date. See also Note 6 Equity Transactions.
F-7
Recently Implemented Standards
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial statements.
Note 3 Restricted Cash
Other non-current asset is a $10,000 certificate of deposit with an annual interest rate of 0.6%. This certificate matures on June 17, 2016, and is used as collateral for a Company credit card, pursuant to a security agreement dated June 20, 2011.

Note 5 License Agreements
The Company had a New License Agreement for the period from August 24, 2012 to December 31, 2012, an exclusive worldwide license with a 30% royalty on net sales (subject to reduction under certain conditions). Also, the New License Agreement granted the Company, for the period from January 1, 2013 forward, a royalty-free nonexclusive worldwide license to make and sell certain products, but excluding the United States market. On April 28, 2014, the Company received a letter from Mr. J. Christopher Jaczko, a lawyer with the Procopio law firm in San Diego who represents Boyd Research, Inc. and related parties.

Warrants
On February 20, 2009, the Company granted certain compensatory warrants. The fair value of each compensatory warrant granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on volatilities from the Company's traded common stock since February 20, 2009. As of March 31, 2014 all warrants expired and no warrants were exercised. No warrants were granted by the Company in 2013, 2014 or 2015.
The risk-free rate for the periods within the contractual life of the compensatory warrants is based on the U.S. Treasury bond rate in effect at the time of grant for bonds with maturity dates at the estimated term of the warrants.
The following values were used to calculate the intrinsic values of the Companys outstanding compensatory warrants as of their issuance dates:
Expected volatility | 136.53% - 217.26% |
Expected dividends | 0 |
Expected term (in years) | 2 - 4 |
Risk-free rate | 1.29% - 1.86% |

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