IMPORTANT PREFATORY NOTE
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 given 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 a new direction.

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 given 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.

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 September 30, 2015 and 2014. 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 September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Amortization is computed using the straight line method over the term of the agreement.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consisted primarily of intellectual properties such as proprietary nutrasecutal formulations. Intellectual assets are capitalized in accordance with ASC Topic 350 Intangibles Goodwill and Other.
Long-lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $210,000 for intangible assets.
10
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 accumulated deficits of approximately $3,001 thousand and a working capital deficit of approximately $290 thousand at September 30, 2015. 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.
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, 2017, and is used as collateral for a Company credit card, pursuant to a security agreement dated June 20, 2011.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
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, 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 given 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 a new direction.
CURRENT BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Currently the Company is focused on immune modulation for the treatment of several specific diseases. Immune modulation refers to the ability to upregulate (make more active) or downregulate (make less active) ones immune system.
Activating ones immune system is now 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. The following outlines our relationships and divisions to focus on each of these programs:

Principle Products and Services
Clinical Stage Dexosome
TSOI recently licensed in 2016 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.
Patents:
TSOI filed a patent covering the use of its ProJuvenol® product, as well as various pterostilbene compositions, for use in augmenting efficacy of existing immuno-oncology drugs that are currently on the market. The patent is based on the ability of pterostilbene, one of the major ingredients of ProJuvenol®, to reduce oxidative stress produced by cancer cells, which in turn protects the immune system from cancer mediated immune suppression.
Immuno-Oncology, described by Science Magazine as 'Breakthrough of the 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.

In addition on April 28, 2016 the Company filed a patent application covering the use of ProJuvenol© and its active ingredient pterostilbene for augmentation of stem cell activity. Diseases such as diabetes1, cardiovascular disease2, and neurodegenerative diseases3 are characterized by deficient stem cell activity. The patent covers the stimulation of stem cells that already exist in the patients body, as well as stem cells that are administered therapeutically.
Studies have shown that patients who have higher levels of endogenous stem cell activity have reduced cardiovascular disease risk4 and undergo accelerated neurological recovery after stroke5 as compared to patients with lower numbers of such stem cells.

TSOI markets currently several other nutraceuticals, they include T-Rx®, a testosterone booster, and Vital® Female an estrogen enhancer, Liposomal CoQ10, Curcumin, and Vitamin-C, all powerful antioxidants.
ProJuvenol® - Is a powerful synergistic blend of complex anti-aging ingredients inspired by nature to help promote cellular rejuvenation and healthy functionality for everyday living. Based upon one of nature's unique and intelligent anti- oxidants/anti-inflammatories. | |
T-Rx® - Is specifically designed just for men and is formulated to assist in increasing testosterone levels and keeping them high. The result is a significant increase in testosterone levels, which assist in adding lean muscle mass, bone density, increased energy and the reduction of fat. | |
VITAL® - Is specifically formulated for women and is designed to increase energy, increase bone density, reduce fat and improve muscle tone. Additionally this supplement will also optimize hormone levels, increase libido, and decrease symptoms of stress and anxiety. | |
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a substance similar to a vitamin. It is found in every cell of the body. Your body makes CoQ10, and your cells use it to produce energy your body needs for cell growth and maintenance. It also functions as an antioxidant, which protects the body from damage caused by harmful molecules. | |
Curcumin is an anti-inflammatory molecule in the turmeric root, a relative of ginger. The properties of curcumin can best be summarized as protective of the integrity of bio molecules in the body by being both a fabulous antioxidant and anti-inflammatory all rolled up in one. | |
Vitamin-C is absorbed at approximately 19%, the balance remains in the gastrointestinal tract to attract water and loosen the bowels. Liposomalized vitamin C is absorbed much more efficiently than traditional delivery methods. A huge advance in both efficiency and effectiveness of supplemental nutrients. |
On June 22, 2016 the Company announced the addition of four new consumer products to our nutraceutical division.
The four new products will all be in Liposome formulas. Many orally consumed nutrients are absorbed from 4% to 19%! Those same nutrients in a Liposomal Delivery System are absorbed at a much higher level in the bloodstream. Liposomes have layers that can encapsulate an ingredient and serve to protect the ingredient from the environment as well as act as a slow release mechanism. A liposome is a microscopic, fluid-filled pouch whose walls are made of layers of phospholipids identical in makeup to the phospholipids that make up cell membranes.
22
Liposomes represent a versatile and advanced nanodelivery system for a wide range of biologically active compounds. Liposomes have been used to improve the therapeutic index of new or established ingredients by modifying their absorption, reducing metabolism, and prolonging biological half-life.
Liposomes can be used to deliver substances to the blood stream and even target cells much more efficiently than normal. The liposomes offer a unique delivery system for nutrients because these microscopic spheres are so tiny that absorption becomes almost perfect.
The four new high absorption formulas will be Liposomal Vitamin-C, CoQ10, Curcumin, and Glutathione, sold in 16oz bottles.
Fetal-Maternal Health
OmniBiome, Inc.
OmniBiome, Inc. (OMNI), a partially-subsidiary of TSI, 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 Officers and Directors of the Company are also officers and Directors of OMNI. As of August 16, 2016 TSI owns approximately 73.75% of the outstanding shares of OMNI. Website: http://omnibiomeinc.com
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.

Immune-Oncology
MolecuVax, Inc.
MolecuVax is a partially-owned 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. The Officers and Directors of the Company are also officers and Directors of MVAX. As of August 16, 2016 TSI owns approximately 6.5% of the outstanding shares of MVAX. Website: www.molecuvax.com
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.
On April 11, 2016 the Company announced the signing of an agreement between its subsidiary, MolecuVax, Inc., (MVAX) and the Pan Am Cancer Treatment Center covering production and clinical implementation of a novel cancer immunotherapy based around MVAXs proprietary BORISome (Brother of the Regulator of Imprinted Sites (BORIS)) peptide/exosome technology.
In November of last year, the Company filed a patent on technologies covering novel means of stimulating the immune system to kill cancer using naturally made nanoparticles termed exosomes1, which was subsequently licensed to MVAX2. In contrast to previous exosome-based cancer therapeutic approaches, the strategy being pursued by MVAX involves focusing the immune system to attack the protein BORIS, which is selectively found on cancer stem cells3.
BORIS represents a unique target in the fight against cancer because it is only found on cancer cells and not healthy tissues. Additionally, because it is selectively found on cancer stem cells, we possess the possibility of inducing an immune response that would strike cancer at its roots, which are the cancer stem cells. By leveraging dendritic cell technology to generate BORIS-expressing exosomes in vivo, we believe the current therapeutic approach possesses a possibility of inducing a potent and selective immune response against cancer.
24
The Pan Am Cancer Treatment Center is a clinical research and treatment facility, which has been offering dendritic cell therapy for treatment of cancer patients. The current collaboration will leverage existing cellular therapy manufacturing expertise to develop, and clinically apply, the BORIS-peptide loaded dendritic cell therapy to patients.
Thomas Ichim, Ph.D, Board Member of TSOI co-authored three of the scientific peer reviewed papers demonstrating efficacy of BORIS-targeting immunotherapy in animal models, some of the papers together with scientists from the National Institutes of Health4,5,6.
The importance of BORIS is difficult to overstate, not only is it a marker that is found on cancer stem cells, but when the protein is blocked from expressing by using gene silencing, we have previously published that cancer cells die7. Accordingly, there is a possibility that it will be difficult for tumors to become resistant to BORIS-based immunotherapies.

On May 09, 2016 the Company announced the signing of an exclusive license agreement between its subsidiary, MolecuVax, Inc., (MVAX) and UniVax, LLC covering composition of matter of a new cancer vaccine that targets a molecule found in cancer stem cells of a variety of types of cancers. The vaccine target, termed CTCFL or Brother of the Regulator of Imprinted Sites (BORIS), was discovered by researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH)1, and has been shown in numerous peer-reviewed studies to be essential for cancer survival and progression2,3,4.
The patent covers vaccines that stimulate the immune system to selectively kill tumor cells that are expressing this universal cancer specific protein. In contrast to other vaccines, our vaccine is targeting BORIS protein that is critical for the growth of histologically different cancers. This possesses important implications in that if a cancer cell mutates to lose expression of the target, then the cancer cell will no longer be cancerous.
The technology licensed positions MolecuVax in an ideal situation given the rapidly expanding interest in cancer immunotherapy clinical trials. The great successes of CAR-T cells and checkpoint inhibitors have already saved many lives and are testimony to the efficacy of this approach to cancer. We aim to utilize the licensed technology to enter clinical trials, in part through our existing collaboration with the Pan Am Cancer Treatment Center5, as well as our planned FDA Investigational New Drug (IND) submission.
This vaccine was developed at the Institute for Molecular Medicine in Huntington Beach, California by Michael Agadjanyan, Ph.D. D.Sc., Head of the Cancer Vaccines Laboratory and member of TSIs Scientific Advisory Board, and Anahit Ghochikyan, Ph.D., Head of the Alzheimers Disease Vaccines Laboratory. The vaccine is important because it not only prevents onset of cancer, but can also be used in patients that have cancer, thus it is termed a therapeutic vaccine. Additionally, the vaccine can be used as part of dendritic cell immunotherapy, which the inventors previously published as being extremely effective against breast cancer in animal models6.
Our collaborators have been working on the concept of selectively killing cancer by immunologically targeting BORIS / CTCFL for over a decade. This work is now translated from a scientific hypothesis, to issued US and International patents, and now on the road to commercialization and to patients. Thomas Ichim, Ph.D., Board Member of TSOI has co-authored publications on BORIS / CTCFL with Dr. Agadjanyan and researchers at the NIH on this technology7,8,9.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The Companys business is subject to varying degrees of regulation by a number of government authorities in the United States, including the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The Company will be subject to additional agencies and regulations if it enters the manufacturing business. Various agencies of the state and localities in which we operate and in which our products are sold also regulate our business, such as the California Department of Health Services, Food and Drug Branch. The areas of our business that these and other authorities regulate include, among others:
·
product claims and advertising;
·
product labels;
·
product ingredients; and
·
How we 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 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.
Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with the unaudited financial statements and the notes to the unaudited financial statements included in this quarterly report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014
On April 28, 2014, we received a letter from Mr. J. Christopher Jack, a lawyer with the Procopius law firm in San Diego who represents Boyd Research, Inc. and related parties. In his letter, Mr. Jack 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 7, Discontinued Operation in Notes to the Financial Statements.
Net sales increased $325 from $0 to $325 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2015, respectively. This was due to the Companys sales in its Nutraceutical Division. Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2014 of $124,593 were reclassified as Discontinued Operations. Net sales increased $745 from $0 to $745 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2015, respectively. This was due to the Companys sales in its Nutraceutical Division. Net sales of $268,892 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were reclassified as Discontinued Operations.
Cost of Goods Sold increased $166 from $0 to $166 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2015, respectively. Cost of Goods Sold for the three months ended September 30, 2014 of $23,215 were reclassified as Discontinued Operations. Cost of Goods Sold increased $263 from $0 to $263 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2015, respectively. This was due to the Companys costs related to sales in its Nutraceutical Division. Cost of Goods Sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 of $26,798 were reclassified as Discontinued Operations.
Operating expenses for the three month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $178,655 and $64,187, an increase of $114,468. This was mainly due to increased General and Administrative costs, Salaries, wages, and related costs, increased consulting fees and decreased legal expenses. Operating expenses for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $366,919 and $311,961, an increase of $54,958. This was mainly due to increased Salaries, wages, and related costs, increased consulting fees and decreased legal expenses.
General and Administrative costs increased $12,306, from $13,421 to $25,727, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2015, respectively. General and Administrative costs increased $3.173, from $55,500 to $58,673, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2015, respectively. These increases were mainly due to increased rent, marketing and insurance costs.
Salaries, wages and related costs increased $45,304, from $26,019 to $71,323 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Salaries, wages and related costs increased $81,339, from $112,150 to $193,489 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2015, respectively. This increase for the nine months was mainly due to an increase in officers salary accruals.
27
Selling expenses increased $429, from $0 to $429, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Selling expenses increased $911, from $0 to $911, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2015, respectively. This increase was mainly due to a reclassification of all selling and marketing expenses for last year to discontinued operation.
Amortization and depreciation decreased $5,283 from $5,283 to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Amortization and depreciation decreased $15,850 from $15,850 to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2015, respectively.
Consulting fees increased $52,084 from $3,383 to $55,467 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2015, due to an increase in overall consulting services. Consulting fees increased $46,547 from $37,253 to $83,800 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2015, due to an increase in overall consulting services.
Legal and professional fees increased $9,627, from $16,081 to $25,708 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2015. This increase was mainly due to an increase in overall legal services from 2015 vs 2014.
Legal and professional fees decreased $61,163, from $91,209 to $30,046 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2015. This decrease was mainly due to a reduction of overall legal services from 2015 vs 2014.
Net other income/expense decreased $888 from $888 to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2104 and 2015, respectively. Net other income/expense increased $1,574 from $108 to $1,682 for the nine months ended September 30, 2104 and 2015, respectively. These changes were mainly due to fluctuations in quarterly seminar tuition and related expenses.
Net interest expense decreased $1,783 from $3,084 to $1,301 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2015. Net interest expense decreased $4,022 from $8,162 to $4,140 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2015. This decrease was mainly due to a reduction is note payables,
Net income from discontinued operation for the three month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $0 and $101,277, a decrease of $101,277. Net income from discontinued operation for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $(8,722) and $249,849, a decrease of $258,571. This decrease was primarily due to the final sales of inventory from the notification that our license to use the international patents for our AMPSA device, pursuant to our license agreement, that was terminated on April 28, 2014 and the write off of accounts receivable,
Net income (loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $(179,797) compared with $34,894 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. In addition to operating expenses, we had Net income from discontinued operations of $101,277 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Net income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $(377,618) compared with $(70,167) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. In addition to operating expenses, we had a Net loss from discontinued operations of $8,722 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and a Net income from discontinued operations of $249,849 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash used in operating activities totaled $99,399 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. We had no material commitments for capital expenditures at September 30, 2015.
As of September 30, 2015, we had cash of $8,495. We had no cash equivalents at the end of the quarter. Clearly, such a cash level is untenable. We believe we will need outside financing to execute our business plan in 2015 and beyond. 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 on our 2014 annual financial statements that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
A.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or 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 Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2015. Based on this evaluation, these officers concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, these disclosure controls and procedures were adequate to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the 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.
