Total Nutraceutical Solutions, Inc .

(A Development Stage Company)

September 30, 2009 and 2008

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS


Generic Marketing Services, Inc. (“Generic Marketing Services”) (A Development Stage Company) was incorporated on July 19, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada.  The company was incorporated as a subsidiary of Basic Services, Inc. (“Basic Services”), a Nevada corporation.


Basic Services has been engaged in the development of generic pharmaceutical products; its management decided to focus its attention on generic product development, and spin off its marketing segment.  Basic Services formed a subsidiary, which solely focused on marketing products, as compared to developing products.  On December 31, 2007, Basic Services decided to spin off its subsidiary.


On October 8, 2008, Generic Marketing Services filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State to change its corporate name from Generic Marketing Services, Inc. to “Total Nutraceutical Solutions, Inc.” (“TNS” or the “Company”).


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of presentation


The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  The unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.  Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.  These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2008 and notes thereto contained in the information as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2009.


Development stage company


The Company is a development stage company as defined by section 915-10-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.  Although the Company has recognized some nominal amount of revenue since inception, the Company is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business and its planned principal operations have not commenced.  All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company’s exploration stage activities.


Use of estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities 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.


Reclassification


Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.   These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses.


Fiscal year end


The Company elected July 31 as its initial fiscal year end date upon its formation.  On November 11, 2008, the Company decided to change its fiscal year end date to December 31 from July 31.

Cash equivalents


The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.


Inventory


The Company values inventory, consisting of purchased raw materials, at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined on the First-in and First-out (“FIFO”) method.  The Company regularly reviews its inventory on hand and, when necessary, records a provision for excess or obsolete inventory based primarily on current selling price.  The Company determined that there was no inventory obsolescence as of September 30, 2009.


Property and equipment


Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.  Depreciation of property and equipment is computed by the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the assets estimated useful lives of three (3) years.  Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in statements of operations.


Impairment of long-lived assets


The Company follows paragraph 360-10-35-17 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for its long-lived assets. The Company’s long-lived assets, which include property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.


The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related long-lived asset or group of long-lived assets over their remaining estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets.  Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable.  If long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives.  The Company determined that there were no impairments of long-lived assets as of September 30, 2009 or 2008.


Fair value of financial instruments


The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels.  The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.  The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:


Level 1

 

Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2

 

Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

Level 3

 

Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.


The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, interest receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.  The Company’s note receivable, lease receivable and note payable approximate the fair value of such instruments based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.


The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or a non-recurring basis, consequently, the Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value at September 30, 2009 or 2008, nor gains or losses are reported in the statement of operations that are attributable to the change in unrealized



- 9 -


gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date for the interim period ended September 30, 2009, 2008 or for the period from July 19, 2007 (inception) through September 30, 2009.


Revenue recognition


The Company follows the guidance of paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition.  The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned less estimated future doubtful accounts.  The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.


The Company recognizes its revenue from sales contracts with customers with revenues being generated upon the shipment of mineral ores upon the Company commencing exploration operations.  Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via invoice, product delivery is evidenced by warehouse shipping log as well as a signed bill of lading from the trucking company or third party carrier and title transfers upon shipment, based on free on board (“FOB”) warehouse; the sales price to the customer is fixed upon acceptance of the purchase order and there is no separate sales rebate, discount, or volume incentive.


Advertising costs


Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.


Stock-based compensation for obtaining employee services and equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services


The Company accounts for its stock based compensation in which the Company obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of section 718-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of section 505-50-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-30-6 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.


The Company’s policy is to recognize compensation cost for awards with only service conditions and a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.  Additionally, the Company’s policy is to issue new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option exercises.


The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model.  The ranges of assumptions for stock options and warrants are as follows:

·  

The Company uses historical data to estimate employee termination behavior.  The expected life of options granted is derived from paragraph 718-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and represents the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding.

·  

The expected volatility is based on a combination of the historical volatility of the comparable companies’ stock over the contractual life of the options.

·  

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the contractual life of the option.

·  

The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the contractual life of the option.


Income taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized.  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.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income in the period that includes the enactment date.



- 10 -



The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”).  Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.  Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.  The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of Section 740-10-25.


Commitments and contingencies


The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies.  Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.


Net loss per common share


Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to paragraph of 260-10-45-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.  Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period to reflect the potential dilution.   


The following table shows the weighted-average number of potentially outstanding dilutive shares excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation for the interim period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 as they were anti-dilutive:

Cash flows reporting


The Company adopted paragraph 230-10-45-24 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (“Indirect method”) as defined by paragraph 230-10-45-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments.  The Company reports the reporting currency equivalent of foreign currency cash flows, using the current exchange rate at the time of the cash flows and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash held in foreign currencies is reported as a separate item in the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents and separately provides information about investing and financing activities not resulting in cash receipts or payments in the period pursuant to paragraph 830-230-45-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.


Recently issued accounting pronouncements  


On June 5, 2003, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted final rules under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”), as amended by SEC Release No. 33-9072 on October 13, 2009.  Under the

 

- 11 -


provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, public companies and their independent auditors are each required to report to the public on the effectiveness of a company’s internal controls.  The smallest public companies with a public float below $75 million have been given extra time to design, implement and document these internal controls before their auditors are required to attest to the effectiveness of these controls.  This extension of time will expire beginning with the annual reports of companies with fiscal years ending on or after June 15, 2010.  Commencing with its annual report for the year ending December 31, 2010, the Company will be required to include a report of management on its internal control over financial reporting.  The internal control report must include a statement

·  

of management’s responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over its financial reporting;

·  

of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of year end; and

·  

of the framework used by management to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.


Furthermore, it is required to file the auditor’s attestation report separately on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting on whether it believes that the Company has maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting.


In June 2009, the FASB approved the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP to be launched on July 1, 2009.  The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place.  All existing accounting standard documents will be superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.


In August 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-04 “Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments - Amendment to Section 480-10-S99” which represents an update to section 480-10-S99, distinguishing liabilities from equity, per EITF Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


In August 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05 “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures Topic 820 – Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value”, which provides amendments to subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, for the fair value measurement of liabilities.  This update provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques: 1. A valuation technique that uses: a. The quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset b. Quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets. 2. Another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of topic 820; two examples would be an income approach, such as a present value technique, or a market approach, such as a technique that is based on the amount at the measurement date that the reporting entity would pay to transfer the identical liability or would receive to enter into the identical liability. The amendments in this update also clarify that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. The amendments in this update also clarify that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


In September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-08 “Earnings Per Share – Amendments to Section 260-10-S99”,which represents technical corrections to topic 260-10-S99, Earnings per share, based on EITF Topic D-53, Computation of Earnings Per Share for a Period that includes a Redemption or an Induced Conversion of a Portion of a Class of Preferred Stock and EITF Topic D-42, The Effect of the Calculation of Earnings per Share for the Redemption or Induced Conversion of Preferred Stock. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


In September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-09 “Accounting for Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures and Accounting for Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”.  This update represents a correction to Section 323-10-S99-4, Accounting by an Investor for Stock-Based Compensation Granted to Employees of an Equity Method Investee. Additionally, it adds observer comment Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees to the Codification. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


In September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-12 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic 820 – Investment in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Assets Value Per Share (or Its Equivalent)”, which provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures-Overall, for the fair value

 

- 12 -


measurement of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent). The amendments in this update permit, as a practical expedient, a reporting entity to measure the fair value of an investment that is within the scope of the amendments in this update on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) if the net asset value of the investment (or its equivalent) is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of Topic 946 as of the reporting entity’s measurement date, including measurement of all or substantially all of the underlying investments of the investee in accordance with Topic 820. The amendments in this update also require disclosures by major category of investment about the attributes of investments within the scope of the amendments in this update, such as the nature of any restrictions on the investor’s ability to redeem its investments a the measurement date, any unfunded commitments (for example, a contractual commitment by the investor to invest a specified amount of additional capital at a future date to fund investments that will be make by the investee), and the investment strategies of the investees. The major category of investment is required to be determined on the basis of the nature and risks of the investment in a manner consistent with the guidance for major security types in U.S. GAAP on investments in debt and equity securities in paragraph 320-10-50-1B. The disclosures are required for all investments within the scope of the amendments in this update regardless of whether the fair value of the investment is measured using the practical expedient. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.


NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN


As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $545,954 at September 30, 2009 and had a net loss and cash used in operations of $424,419 and $492,812 at September 30, 2009, respectively.


While the Company is attempting to commence operations and generate sufficient revenues, the Company’s cash position may not be sufficient enough to support the Company’s daily operations.  Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering.  Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.  While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate revenues.


The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies


There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.


Overview of Current Operations


Our Company was organized by the filing of Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on July 19, 2007.  On October 8, 2008, we filed amended Articles with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to change our corporate name to Total Nutraceutical Solutions, Inc.

We are a developmental stage company which plans to create and execute sales and marketing programs with the goal of demonstrating our ability to maximize our sales performance for nutraceutical products.  Management and its scientific consultants are  working on proprietary  formulations to produce, manufacture, and market  customized lines of non-FDA approved, over-the-counter products, specifically nutraceutical products.  As of September 30, the company has formulated three new natural organic mushroom dietary supplements and made application for trademarks for each of the three products.  Mushroom dietary supplements have the nutritional potential to provide multiple health benefits for humans, including providing antioxidants, reducing inflammation, supporting the immune system, promoting healthy joints, increasing stamina, and reducing stress and anxiety.   The three newly developed products are named ImmuSANO, GlucoSANO, and EquiSANO.  ImmuSANO is a proprietary nutritional blend of six medicinal mushrooms and mycelia matrices, each of which has different concentrations of bioactive enzymes and nutrients.  ImmuSANO is a holistic and natural approach to health care that nutritionally assists people in balancing cellular function and supporting  a stronger immune system.  GlucoSANO is a natural whole food product composed of a proprietary blend of exotic certified organic mushrooms & mycelia matrices.  GlucoSANO has been formulated to nutritionally assist in metabolic function and stabilization of blood sugar.  EquiSANO is an organic mushroom blend product promoting health for horses.

 

On July 29, 2009, Mark Budzinski was appointed by the Board of Directors as our newly appointed Vice President of Sales & Marketing

 

Business


We are an emerging nutraceutical company with a focus on discovering, formulating, and marketing products composed primarily of organic natural mushrooms that contain bioactive nutrients for potential health benefits.  We develop production and analytic technologies for food and nutritional supplements.  Novel clinical models and biomarkers are used to show nutritional and clinical efficacy of our products.  In addition to preventative healthcare formulations and nutritional approaches to a wide variety of human conditions and illnesses, the Company also develops and acquires breakthrough nutritional tools and products in the fields of animal husbandry and livestock feeds.


 

- 20 -


Business Strategy


The Company has  limited nutraceutical business activities.  We are a development stage entity in the process of establishing a business focused on contract manufacture, distribution, and sale of nutraceutical products that are made entirely of naturally occurring food and dietary substances.  These naturally occurring dietary substances have not been chemically altered, and we believe these products have both health benefits and mass appeal to people wanting natural and non-toxic nutritional-based healthcare. To date, we have developed three new proprietary products and have initiated sales of all three products.


These over-the-counter dietary supplements have been designed and formulated by the company and produced by outside contract manufacturers.  Management defines nutraceutical as “a food or naturally occurring food supplement thought to have a beneficial effect on human and/or animal health.”  The Company had not developed, nor produced, any products at the close of its fiscal year.  Emphasis had been placed on raising sufficient capital to enable the company to develop these products.


On June 9, 2009 the Company closed a private offering and issued 819,000 Units at $.50 per unit to nine accredited investors for $409,500.  The Units consisted of two (2) shares of its par value $.001 unregistered common stock, One (1) “A” Stock Purchase Warrant to Purchase One Additional Share of Common Stock at $.75 Per Share and One (1) “B” Stock Purchase Warrant to Purchase One Additional Share of Common Stock at $1.00 Per Share for a Period of Three Years.  Total Nutraceutical Solutions, Inc. sold these shares and warrants to further capitalize the Company in order to execute its business plan.  The Company  relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Regulation D”), for sales to “accredited investors” (as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D).  The purchaser has represented to the Company that they are an “accredited investor.”  We believed that Section 4(2) was available because the offer and sale did not involve a public offering and there was not general solicitation or general advertising involved in the offer or sale.  These funds are being used to develop and market nutraceutical products.


Our nutraceutical business activities to date have been minimal and have included the acquisition of certain intellectual property pursuant to research agreements in association with Pennsylvania State University.  These research endeavors resulted in the filing of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/782,204, entitled "Identification of Selenoergothioneine as a Natural Organic Form of Selenium from Cultivated Mushrooms."  We purchased an option assignment to license from Pennsylvania State University the technologies associated with this intellectual property.  We view this intellectual property as one of the cornerstones to our business.


Marketing Strategy


We believe our potential for growth involves the development of nutraceutical products that can be marketed and sold through physicians and health care professionals, retail channels in North America, and through distributors internationally, in addition to wholesalers and multi-level marketing groups.  Retail channels would include independent and chain health food stores, pharmacies, internet sales, grocery and drug store chains, and other direct-to-consumer retailers.  Our web site is a key component of our proposed sales and marketing program- www.totalnutraceutical.com.  We have signed one exclusive distribution agreement with Caribbean International Medical N.V. who will focus their marketing efforts in the Caribbean.


We presented our research technology and preclinical studies at the 51st Mushroom Industry Conference that was held September 20-22, 2009, in Avondale, Pennsylvania.  The conference was hosted by Pennsylvania State University.


Brand Awareness


The market for nutraceuticals is highly competitive, with many well-known brands.  Our ability to compete effectively and generate revenue will be based upon our ability to differentiate awareness of our products from those of our competitors.  However, advertising, packaging and labeling of such products will be limited by various regulations.  Our success will be dependent upon our ability to convey this message to consumers.


The nutraceutical industry is subject to rapid change.  New products are constantly introduced to the market.  Our ability to remain competitive depends on our ability to develop and manufacture new products in a timely and cost effective manner, to accurately predict market transitions, and to effectively market our products.  Our future financial results will depend to a great extent on the successful introduction of several new products.  We cannot be certain that we will be successful in selecting, developing, contract manufacturing and marketing new products.


 

- 21 -


The success of new product introductions depends on various factors, including, but not limited to the following:

    o  proper new product selection;

    o  availability of raw materials;

    o  pricing of raw materials;

    o  timely delivery of new products;

    o  regulatory allowance of the products;

    o  successful sales and marketing efforts; and

    o  customer acceptance of new products.


We face challenges in developing new products, primarily with funding development costs and diversion of management time.  On a regular basis, we will evaluate opportunities to develop new products through product line extensions and product modifications.  There is no assurance that we will successfully develop product line extensions or integrate newly developed products into our business.  In addition, there are no assurances that newly developed products will contribute favorably to our operations and financial condition.  Our failure to develop and introduce new products on a timely basis could adversely affect our future operating results.


Results of Operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2009


During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we had a net loss of $(424,419) versus a $(18,145) net loss for the same period last year, when our Company was inactive.


We earned nominal revenues since its inception on July 19, 2007 through September 30, 2009.  Management does not anticipate earning any significant revenues until such time as it fully market one or more nutraceutical product(s).  We are presently in the development stage of business and have just recently developed three products.  There are no assurances that we will be successful in significant sales of any nutraceutical product(s).


For the period since inception through September 30, 2009, we generated $39,863 in income.  Since inception on July 19, 2007, we experienced a net loss of $(545,954).  The loss was attributed to organizational expenses, accounting and legal fees, marketing expenses and building company infrastructure.  Management anticipates its operating expenses will increase as we start to develop and market nutraceutical products.


Revenues


We generated $39,863 in revenue for the period from July 19, 2007 (inception) through September 30, 2009.  We anticipate an increase of revenues in the fourth quarter of this year associated with the introduction of three products to the market.


Going Concern


Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the accompanying financial statements regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.


Intellectual Property


We acquired certain intellectual property pursuant to research agreements in association with Pennsylvania State University.  These research endeavors resulted in the filing of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/782,204, entitled "Identification of Selenoergothioneine as a Natural Organic Form of Selenium from Cultivated Mushrooms."  We purchased an option assignment to license from Pennsylvania State University the technologies associated with the intellectual property.  This intellectual property is the cornerstone of our business.  Other intellectual properties include an option to license an invention entitled “Rapid Generation of Vitamin D2 from Mushroom and Fungi using Pulsed UV Light.” A US Provisional Patent Application was filed on April 23, 2008 and names Professor Robert B. Beelman and Graduate student Micheal Kalaras as co-inventors, Department of Food Science, Pennsylvania State University.


Expected purchase or sale of plant and significant equipment


We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or significant equipment; as such items are not required by us at this time.


 

- 22 -



Significant changes in the number of employees


As of September 30, 2009, we did not have any employees.  We are dependent upon our officers and directors for our future business development.  As our operations expand, we anticipate the need to hire additional employees, consultants and professionals; however, the exact number is not quantifiable at this time.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Our balance sheet as of September 30, 2009 reflects cash of $189,862, current assets of $602,579 and current Liabilities of $67,551.  Cash and cash equivalents from inception to date have been sufficient to provide the operating capital necessary to operate to date.  Management believes it has sufficient funds to remain operational for the next six months.


Notwithstanding, we anticipate generating losses and therefore we may be unable to continue operations in the future.  We anticipate we will require additional capital and we intend to raise the monies by selling equity in our Company.  Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.  In order for the Company to remain a Going Concern it will need to find additional capital.  Additional working capital may be sought through additional debt or equity private placements, additional notes payable to banks or related parties (officers, directors or stockholders), or from other available funding sources at market rates of interest, or a combination of these.  The ability to raise necessary financing will depend on many factors, including the nature and prospects of any business to be acquired and the economic and market conditions prevailing at the time financing is sought.  


There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us.  We currently have no agreements, arrangements, or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit, or any other sources.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results or operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.


New Accounting Standards


In June 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted final rules under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”), as amended by SEC Release No. 33-8934 on June 26, 2008. Commencing with its annual report for the year ending December 31, 2009, the Company will be required to include a report of management on its internal control over financial reporting. The internal control report must include a statement of:


 

management’s responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over its financial reporting;

 

management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of year end; and

 

the framework used by management to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.


Furthermore, in the following fiscal year, it is required to file the auditor’s attestation report separately on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting on whether it believes that the Company has maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting.


In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”), which changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities.  Pursuant to SFAS No.161, Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal

 

- 23 -


years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. SFAS No. 161 encourages but does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption.  In years after initial adoption, this Statement requires comparative disclosures only for periods subsequent to initial adoption.  The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 to have a material impact on the financial results of the Company.


In May 2009, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 165 “Subsequent events” (“SFAS No. 165”) to be effective for the interim or annual financial periods ending after June15, 2009.  SFAS No. 165 The objective of this Statement is to establish general standards of accounting for, and disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  In particular, this Statement sets forth: 1. The period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. 2.  The circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements. 3. The disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date.  The effect of adoption of SFAS No. 165 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations is not expected to be material.


In June 2009, the FASB approved the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP to be launched on July 1, 2009.  The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place.  All existing accounting standard documents will be superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


Not required

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of those internal controls.  As defined by the SEC, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by our principal executive officer/principal financial officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the reparation of the financial statements in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles.


As of the end of the period covered by this report, we initially carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our President (who is also our principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on this evaluation, our President and principal financial officer initially concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.


Management's 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 defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:


-  Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

-  Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and



- 24 -


-  Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.  Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process.  Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.


As of December 31, 2008, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments.  Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.


The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.  The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our President in connection with the review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2008.


Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2) and (3) above did not have an effect on our financial results.  However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee resulted in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.


This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Corporation's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Corporation's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Corporation to provide only the management's report in this quarterly report.


Management's Remediation Initiatives


In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:


We will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us.  And, on August 28, 2008, we appointed outside directors to our board of directors who shall appoint an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.


Management believes that the appointment of the outside directors, who shall appoint a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee.


We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by December 31, 2009.  Additionally, we plan to test our updated controls and remediate our deficiencies by December 31, 2009.


Changes in internal controls over financial reporting


There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

- 25 -


Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings


From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business.  However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.


We are not presently a party to any material litigation, nor to the knowledge of management is any litigation threatened against us, which may materially affect us.


Item 1A.  Risk Factors


See Risk Factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, and the discussion above in Part I, Item 2, under " Liquidity and Capital Resources.”


Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds 


On September 18, 2009, we issued 100,000 Shares of common stock at $.25 per share to a single investor for $25,000.  The purchaser was Philip Sobol, a Director of the company.  We sold these shares to further capitalize the Company, in order to execute our business plan.


We relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Regulation D”), for sales to “accredited investors” (as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D).  The purchaser represented to the Company that they were an “accredited investor.”  We believed that Section 4(2) was available because the offer and sale did not involve a public offering and there was not general solicitation or general advertising involved in the offer or sale because the purchaser is an affiliate of the company.
