PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

The following summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus and does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our securities. Before deciding to invest in our securities, you should read this entire prospectus, including the discussion of “Risk Factors” and our financial statements and the related notes.

 

We manufacture, distribute and sell natural immune support products. We believe, based on testing and analysis conducted on our behalf, that our beta glucans derived from yeast are superior to other beta glucans. Beta glucans are a natural extract that has been shown through testing and analysis and scientific research to support the immune system. Our core nutraceutical, a term used to describe a food or food product that reportedly provides health and medical benefits, and cosmetic product lines, are the focal points of our business.

 

Our beta glucan products and manufacturing processes are protected by patents and trade secrets, compliant with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP. Yeast beta glucans are classified as Generally Recognized as Safe, or GRAS, by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA. None of the testing and analysis or scientific research mentioned in this prospectus, however, has been subject to oversight of the FDA or any comparable regulatory body, and no regulatory body has attested to the efficacy of beta glucans in supporting the immune system or otherwise treating disease. Further, the marketing of beta glucans are not subject to FDA approval, and we are prohibited by FTC and FDA regulations from suggesting in advertisements and product labels that our products mitigate, treat, cure or prevent a specific disease or class of disease.

 

Historically, we have sold our products primarily on a word-of-mouth basis through distributors and our website as standalone product lines, as well as business-to-business as a cosmetic product, dietary supplement or feed additive for animal use. We believe that we are well positioned to capitalize on our development of proprietary and patented natural immune support products and can now focus on commercializing sales of these products on a more meaningful, global basis.

 

We originally incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, in 1987 under the name Anina Resources, Inc. and subsequently changed our name to Immudyne, Inc. and our jurisdiction to the State of Wyoming by continuance in September 1987. On June 30, 1994, we changed our jurisdiction to Delaware by merger with and into Immudyne, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed on June 21, 1994.

 

Our Products

 

Beta glucans, or β-Glucans, are a natural extract that have been shown through scientific research to be “biological response modifiers” that support the immune system. The potential benefits of beta glucans to human health continue to emerge. Independent scientific research has demonstrated that beta glucans provide defense against bacteria by activating innate immune cells, which fight off infection. In addition, a growing body of scientific literature suggests that beta glucans have a substantial effect on cancer regression. Healthcare professionals have taken an interest in our immune-support products as a means of offering alternative or complementary approaches for maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle.

 

We have developed a proprietary approach to produce what we believe to be superior beta glucans derived from yeast. Our yeast beta glucan is odorless and tasteless, making it suitable for use in a wide variety of oral and topical applications to support the immune system in humans and animals. As the U.S. and international markets become more aware of the value of our proprietary products, we believe demand for our yeast beta glucans will increase. Our nutraceutical and cosmetic product lines consist of high-grade beta glucan products for oral and topical applications as all-natural raw material ingredients in bulk quantities and finished, consumer products packaged under our brands and private label brands. Historically, we produced other grades of beta glucan products for the animal feeds industry as a substitute for antibiotics. As of 2011, we began exiting this lower-margin market for feed-additive products. Our sales and marketing efforts going forward are concentrated on our oral and topical-use products for healthcare professionals, distributors and direct-to-consumer sales.

The 1,828,212 shares of our common stock being offered by the selling shareholders identified in this prospectus, which were acquired by the respective selling shareholders through a private placement conducted by us. In a series of private placement transactions in June and July 2012, we issued 1,843,428 shares of our common stock and 3-year warrants to purchase 921,714 shares of our common stock at $0.40 per share to accredited investors at $0.17 per unit for $313,383. All of the shares and warrants were issued to the selling shareholders prior to the filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part pursuant to exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

 

The number of shares of our common stock outstanding after the offering is based on 28,875,317 shares of our common stock outstanding as of January 1, 2013, which excludes (i) 3,630,112 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants outstanding as of January 1, 2013, and (ii) stock options outstanding and exercisable as of January 1, 2013, to purchase 8,952,500 shares of our common stock. The warrants are immediately exercisable and entitle their holders to purchase up to: (i) 1,500,000 shares of our common stock at $0.15 per share, such warrants expiring in 2012 and 2013; and (ii) 2,130,112 shares of our common stock at $0.40 per share, such warrants expiring in 2015. The stock options expire on the tenth anniversary of their grant date and entitle their holders to purchase up to: (i) 1,597,500 shares of our common stock at $0.07 to $0.10 per share, such options having a weighted-average contractual life remaining of 4 years; (ii) 6,355,000 shares of our common stock at $0.13 to $0.20 per share, such options having a weighted-average contractual life remaining of 10 years; and (iii) 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.40 per share, such options having a weighted-average contractual life remaining of 10 years.

RISK FACTORS

 

Our business and an investment in our securities are subject to a variety of risks. The following risk factors describe the most significant events, facts or circumstances that could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, results of operations, ability to implement our business plan and the market price for our securities. Many of these events are outside of our control. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors in our common stock could lose all or part of their investment.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

We have generated losses and not yet achieved positive cash flows, which may adversely affect our liquidity and ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our net cash used in operating activities was approximately $165,000 and $4,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and approximately $18,000 and $252,000 in 2011 and 2010, respectively. We cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve revenue growth, profitability or positive cash flow, on either a quarterly or annual basis, or that profitability, if achieved, will be sustained. Our ability to meet our long-term business objectives likely will be dependent upon our ability to raise additional financing through public or private equity financings, establish increasing cash flow from operations or securing other sources of financing. We will need to reduce operating expenses and increase cash flow to fund current operations if we are not able to fund these operations by raising capital. We have implemented a new sales and marketing strategy to focus on higher-margin products with what we believe to be greater opportunities for growth in the U.S. and international markets. In addition, management has instituted cost-cutting measures; including terminating certain employees that were not contributing to the business and ceasing our operations in the low-margin feed additive product line, which we believe should result in improved efficiencies of our operations going forward. If our losses continue, however, our liquidity may be severely impaired, our stock price may fall and our shareholders may lose all or a significant portion of their investment.

 

We may not be able to implement our growth and marketing strategy successfully on a timely basis or at all.

 

Our future success depends, in large part, on our ability to implement our growth strategy of expanding distribution and sales of our yeast beta glucan-based oral and topical application products, attracting new consumers to our brand and introducing new product lines and product extensions. Our ability to implement this growth strategy depends, among other things, on our ability to:

 

·enter into distribution and other strategic arrangements with other potential distributors of our all-natural raw material products;
·increase our brand recognition;
·expand and maintain brand loyalty; and
·research new applications for existing products and develop new product lines and extensions.

 

We may not be able to successfully implement our growth strategy. Our sales and operating results will be adversely affected if we fail to implement our growth strategy or if we invest resources in a growth strategy that ultimately proves unsuccessful.

 

If we fail to develop and maintain our brand, our business could suffer.

 

We believe that developing and maintaining our brand of what we believe to be superior beta glucans derived from yeast is critical to our success. The importance of our brand recognition may become greater as competitors offer more products similar to ours. Our brand-building activities involve increasing awareness of our brand, creating and maintaining brand loyalty and increasing the availability of our products. If our brand-building activities are unsuccessful, we may never recover the expenses incurred in connection with these efforts, and we may be unable to implement our business strategy and increase our future sales.

We are subject to government regulation of the processing, formulation, packaging, labeling and advertising of our consumer products, and any failure to comply with such regulations could require us to repackage, recall or undergo regulatory approval of our products, which would have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, or DSHEA, companies that manufacture and distribute foods, food ingredients, cosmetics and dietary supplements in the U.S., such as our yeast beta glucan products, are limited in the claims that they are permitted to make about nutritional support on the product label without the approval of the FDA. Any failure by us to adhere to the labeling requirements could lead to the FDA requiring that our products be repackaged and relabeled, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, advertising and product claims regarding the efficacy of products are also regulated by the Federal Trade Commission, or the FTC. Companies are responsible for the accuracy and truthfulness of, and must have substantiation for, any such statements. These claims must be truthful and not misleading. Statements must not claim to diagnose, mitigate, treat, cure or prevent a specific disease or class of disease. We are able to market our oral and topical application products in reliance on the self-affirmed GRAS status of our active ingredient, yeast beta glucan. No governmental agency or other third party has made a determination as to whether or not our products have achieved GRAS status. We make this determination based on independent scientific opinions that yeast beta glucan is not harmful under its intended conditions of use. If the FDA, another regulatory authority or other third party denied our self-affirmed GRAS status for our yeast beta glucan products, we could face significant penalties or be required to undergo the regulatory approval process in order to market our products, and our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected. We cannot assure you that in such a situation our yeast beta glucan products would be approved.

 

The FDA’s current GMPs describe policies and procedures designed to ensure that dietary supplements are produced in a quality manner, do not contain contaminants or impurities, and are accurately labeled and cover the manufacturing, packaging, labeling and storing of supplements, with requirements for quality control, design and construction of manufacturing plants, testing of ingredients and final products, record keeping, and complaints processes. Those who manufacture, package or store dietary supplements must comply with current GMPs. If we or our suppliers fail to comply with current GMP procedures, the FDA may take enforcement action against us or our suppliers.

 

The processing, formulation, packaging, labeling and advertising of our yeast beta glucan products in the U.S. are subject to regulation by the FDA, FTC and other federal agencies, and our activities are also subject to regulation by various agencies of the states and localities in which our yeast beta glucan products are sold. Any changes in the current regulatory environment could impose requirements that would limit our ability to market our yeast beta glucan products and make bringing new products to market more expensive. In addition, the adoption of new regulations or changes in the interpretation of existing regulations may result in significant compliance costs or discontinuation of product sales and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. While our yeast beta glucan products currently are categorized as foods, it is possible that the FDA or a state regulatory agency could classify these products as a cosmetic or a drug. If the products are classified as cosmetics rather than a food, we would be limited to making claims that the products cleanse and beautify, but we could not make structure or function claims. If our yeast beta glucan products are classified as drugs, we would not be able to market our products without going through the drug approval process. Either of these events would limit our ability to market our products effectively and cost-efficiently, and would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. If the FDA or a state regulatory agency viewed the products as cosmetics or drugs, they could claim that the products are misbranded and require that we repackage and relabel the products and impose civil and criminal penalties on us. Either or both of these situations could adversely affect our business and operations.

 

In the European Union, or the EU, markets, the European Food Safety Authority, or EFSA, an advisory panel to the European Commission, performs all scientific assessments of health claims on food and supplement labels. The European Commission will consider the opinions of EFSA in determining whether to include a health claim on the list of permissible claims. Once published, only health claims for ingredients and products included on the list may be used in promotional materials for products marketed and sold in the European Union. The marketability of our products may be limited as we look to expand our sales in the EU if the health claims of our products are not included on the list.

We have and will continue to subject our products to testing and analysis to ensure we are able to continue to deliver a superior product. If the findings of these trials are challenged or found insufficient to support our health claims, we may need to perform additional testing and analysis before we are able to successfully market such products.

 

Although our yeast beta glucan products are dietary supplements and cosmetics, as opposed to drugs, we have, and will continue to, subject our products to testing and analysis to ensure that we are able to continue to deliver a superior product so that we may successfully market such products, though no such trials are currently required for marketing approval by the FDA or any comparable regulatory body. Testing and analysis for new product uses can require a significant amount of resources and there is no assurance that the results will be favorable to the claims we make for our products, or that they will be sufficient to support our claims. If the findings of our testing and analysis are challenged or found to be insufficient to support our claims, additional testing and analysis may be required before we are able to successfully market our products. No such testing and analysis has been, nor will it be when conducted, subject to the approval by the FDA or any comparable regulatory body.

 

If we undertake product recalls or incur liability claims with respect to our yeast beta glucan products, such recalls or claims could increase our costs and adversely affect our reputation, business and results of operations.

 

Our yeast beta glucan products are designed for human and animal consumption and we may face product recalls or liability claims if the use of our products is alleged to have resulted in injury or death. However, to date, we have not (i) conducted any product recalls, (ii) received any product liability claims from third parties, or (iii) received any reports from an end consumer of any adverse effect resulting from our products. Yeast beta glucan is classified as a food ingredient and is not subject to pre-market regulatory approval in the U.S. Our yeast beta glucan products contain ingredients that do not have long histories of human or animal consumption. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from consumption of these ingredients could occur. We may have to undertake various product recalls or be subject to liability claims, including, among others, that our yeast beta glucan products include inadequate instructions for use or inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects and interactions with other substances. A product recall or liability claim against us could result in increased costs and could adversely affect our reputation with our customers, which, in turn, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We currently do not maintain product liability insurance coverage. Product liability insurance is expensive, is subject to deductibles and coverage limitations, and may not be available to us in the future. In addition, we cannot be sure that we will be able to obtain or maintain insurance coverage at acceptable costs or in a sufficient amount, that our insurer will not disclaim coverage as to a future claim or that a product liability claim would not otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The cost of any product liability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of product liability litigation or other proceedings could have an adverse effect on our ability to compete in the marketplace. Product liability litigation and other related proceedings may also require significant management attention.

 

We derive a substantial part of our sales from one major customer. If we lose this customer or it reduces the amount of business it does with us, or if it fails to meet its obligations to us, our sales, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

 

Our largest customer accounted for 77% and 58% of our sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 53% and 23% of our total sales in 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our relationship with our largest customer is governed by a written contract, which is subject to a confidentiality agreement. The initial term of our contract with our largest customer will expire on December 19, 2016. Pursuant to its terms, the written contract will be automatically renewed for continuous one-year periods unless either party gives notice of its intent to terminate at least 90 days prior to the expiration of any renewal term. If we lose this customer or they reduce the amount of business they do with us, our sales and profitability would be adversely affected. In addition, we are subject to credit risk due to concentration of our trade accounts receivables, and the inability of our largest customer to meet its obligations to us would adversely affect our financial results. At September 30, 2012, accounts receivable from our largest customer amounted to 97% of accounts receivable, and at December 31, 2011 and 2010, this customer accounted for 85% and 86% of accounts receivable, respectively. Although we are making efforts to reduce our dependency on a limited number of customers, we believe this concentration of sales to one customer will continue in the near future.

Many of our other customers buy from us under purchase orders, and we generally do not have agreements with or commitments from these customers for the purchase of our products. We cannot provide assurance that our smaller customers will maintain or increase their sales volumes or orders for the products supplied by us or that we will be able to maintain or add to our existing customer base. Decreases in our customers’ sales volumes or orders for products supplied by us may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

Our yeast beta glucan products face various forms of competition from other products in the marketplace, which could adversely affect our market share and result in a decrease in our future sales and earnings.

 

The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are characterized by intense competition, rapid product development and technological change. Most of the competition that our yeast beta glucan products face comes from companies that are large, well established and have greater financial, marketing, sales and technological resources than we have. Our products compete with a range of consumer and nutraceutical products. Our commercial success will depend on our ability to compete effectively in marketing and product development areas including, but not limited to, sales and branding, product safety, efficacy, ease-of-use, customer compliance, price, marketing and distribution. There can be no assurance that competitors will not succeed in developing and marketing products that are more desirable or effective than our products or that would render our products obsolete and non-competitive.

 

We may, in the future, be subject to risks of doing business internationally as we attempt to expand our sales through international consulting and distributor relationships.

 

We anticipate entering into international consulting and distributor agreements for our yeast beta glucan products. As a result, we expect to increase our revenues from international sales. A number of factors can prevent international sales, or substantially increase the cost of international sales, and we may encounter certain risks of doing business internationally including the following:

 

·increased government regulation of the processing, formulation, packaging, labeling and advertising of our consumer products for international markets;
·reduced protection and enforcement for our intellectual property rights;
·unexpected changes in, or impositions of, legislative or regulatory requirements that may limit our ability to sell our products and repatriate funds to the U.S.;
·political and economic instability;
·fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;
·difficulties in developing and maintaining distributor relationships in foreign countries;
·difficulties in negotiating acceptable contractual terms and enforcing contractual obligations;
·exposure to liabilities under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;
·potential trade restrictions and exchange controls;
·creditworthiness of foreign distributors, customer uncertainty and difficulty in foreign accounts receivable collection; and
·the burden of complying with foreign laws.

 

As we attempt to expand our sales internationally, our exposure to these risks could result in our inability to attain the anticipated benefits and our business could be adversely impacted. Our success will depend, in large part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks associated with our international operations. However, any of these factors could adversely affect our international operations and, consequently, our operating results.

A material disruption at our manufacturing facilities in Kentucky could result in material delays, quality control issues, increased costs and loss of business opportunities, which may negatively impact our sales and financial results.

 

We rely on our manufacturing facilities in Kentucky to operate our business and produce our yeast beta glucan products. Our manufacturing facilities, or any of our machines within our otherwise operational facilities, could cease operations or no longer comply with current GMP guidelines unexpectedly due to a number of events, including prolonged power or equipment failures, disruptions in the transportation infrastructure, and fires, floods or other catastrophes. If our manufacturing facilities no longer comply with GMP, our products may be deemed adulterated under U.S. regulations and subject to recall. Furthermore, a significant majority of our raw material product inventory is located in our Kentucky facility. If any material amount of our inventory were damaged as a result of a material disruption, we would be unable to meet our contractual obligations. While we seek to operate our manufacturing facilities in compliance with applicable rules and regulations and take measures to minimize the risks of disruption at our facilities, any such material disruption at our facilities could prevent us from meeting customer demand, reduce our sales and negatively impact our financial results.

 

If we lose our key personnel, or are unable to attract and retain additional qualified personnel, the quality of our services may decline and our business may be adversely affected.

 

We rely heavily on the expertise, experience and continued services of our senior management, including our President, Mr. McLaughlin. Loss of his services could adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives, if we are unable to find a suitable replacement. Mr. McLaughlin is an integral factor in establishing relationships and the continued development of our business depends upon his continued employment. If Mr. McLaughlin were to resign or retire, we would have to find a suitable replacement who shared Mr. McLaughlin’s expertise and relationships. Any delay in finding a suitable replacement, would adversely affect the pace at which we are able to successfully grow our business and could harm our existing business, resulting in a decrease in sales and revenue. We have entered into an employment agreement with Mr. McLaughlin that includes provisions for non-competition and confidentiality.

 

We believe our future success will depend upon our ability to retain key employees and our ability to attract and retain other skilled personnel and consultants. While we have been able to find a sufficient number of skilled personnel consistent with our growth to date, we cannot guarantee that any employee will remain employed by us for any period of time or that we will be able to attract, train or retain qualified personnel in the future consistent with our growth. Such loss of personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business and company. Furthermore, we may need to employ additional personnel to expand our business. Qualified employees and consultants in the dietary supplement industry are in great demand and may be unavailable in the time frame required to satisfy our customers’ requirements. There is no assurance we will be able to attract and retain sufficient numbers of highly skilled employees in the future. The loss of personnel or our inability to hire or retain sufficient personnel at competitive rates could impair the growth of our business.

 

Current and future economic and market conditions could adversely affect demand for our products.

 

The U.S. economy and the global economy are recovering from a severe recession. Factors such as uncertainties in consumer spending, a sustained regional and global economic downturn or slow recovery may reduce the demand for our yeast beta glucan products. Furthermore, challenging economic conditions also may impair the ability of our customers to pay for our commercial, direct-to-consumer products. Consumer spending for our yeast beta glucan products generally is considered a discretionary purchase because they are non-prescription nutriceutical supplements and nutricosmetics, and we may experience a more negative impact on our business due to these conditions than other companies that do not depend on discretionary spending. If demand for our products declines or our customers are otherwise unable to pay for our products, we may be required to offer extensive discounts or spend more on marketing than budgeted and our revenues, expense levels and profitability will be adversely affected.

 

We may need additional capital to execute our business plan and fund operations and may not be able to obtain such capital on acceptable terms or at all.

 

In connection with the development and expansion of our business, we may incur significant capital and operational expenses. We believe that we can increase our sales and net income by implementing a growth strategy that focuses on (i) diversifying revenues to include greater direct-to-consumer and healthcare professional sales and (iii) expanding our distribution to Europe and Asia. To implement our growth strategy, we anticipate (i) continuing our exit from lower-margin, feed-additive sales, (ii) increasing our marketing to healthcare professionals and end consumers, (iii) entering into additional distribution agreements with manufacturers and formulators in Europe and Asia and (iv) developing our branded product lines.

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus by the selling shareholders. Management anticipates that our existing capital resources, cash flows from operations and the proceeds from our recent private placement will satisfy the liquidity requirements of our business for the next 12 months. However, if available funds are not sufficient to meet our plans for expansion or current operating expenses, our plans include pursuing alternative financing arrangements, including bank loans, advances from our directors and officers or funds raised through offerings of our equity or debt, if and when we determine such offerings are required. Our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms or at all is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including: investors’ perceptions of, and demand for, companies in our industry; conditions of the U.S. and other capital markets in which we may seek to raise funds; our future results of operations, financial condition and cash flows; and economic, political and other conditions in the U.S.

 

There is no assurance we will be successful in locating a suitable financing transaction in a timely fashion or at all. In addition, there is no assurance we will obtain the capital we require by any other means or that our directors and officers who have in the past willingly funded operations through personal advances will commit to do so in the future. Future financings through equity investments are likely to be dilutive to our existing shareholders. Also, the terms of securities we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for our new investors. Newly-issued securities may include preferences or superior voting rights, be combined with the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, or be the issuances of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans, which may have additional dilutive effects. Furthermore, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition.

 

If we cannot raise additional funds on favorable terms or at all, we may not be able to carry out all or parts of our strategy to maintain our growth and competitiveness.

 

We may not be able to protect our proprietary rights adequately, which could adversely affect our competitive position and reduce the value of our products and brands, and litigation to protect our intellectual property rights may be costly.

 

We attempt to strengthen and differentiate our products by developing new and innovative yeast beta glucan products and manufacturing processes. As a result, our patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights are important assets to our business. Our success will depend in part on our ability to obtain and protect our products, methods, processes and other technologies, to preserve our trade secrets, and to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties in the U.S. and other international markets. Despite our efforts, any of the following may reduce the value of our owned and used intellectual property:

 

·issued patents and trademarks that we own or have the right to use may not provide us with any competitive advantages;
·our efforts to protect our proprietary rights may not be effective in preventing misappropriation of our intellectual property;
·our efforts may not prevent the development and design by others of products or technologies similar to or competitive with, or superior to those we use or develop; or
·another party may obtain a blocking patent and we would need to either obtain a license or design around the patent in order to continue to offer the contested feature in our products or services.

 

Policing the unauthorized use of our proprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Litigation might be necessary to protect our intellectual property rights, which may be costly and may divert our management’s attention away from our core business. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that litigation would result in an outcome favorable to us. To date, we have no knowledge of any infringement of our intellectual property by third parties. If we are unable to protect our proprietary rights adequately, it would have a negative impact on our operations.

 

9
 

 

We may be subject to claims that we have infringed the proprietary rights of others, which could require us to obtain a license or otherwise change our manufacturing processes or product offerings.

 

Although we do not believe any of our products or manufacturing processes infringe upon the proprietary rights of others, there is no assurance that infringement or invalidity claims, or claims for indemnification resulting from infringement claims, will not be asserted or prosecuted against us or that any such assertions or prosecutions will not have a material adverse effect on our business. To date, we are not aware of any material infringement nor have we been put on notice by third parties of any material infringement of proprietary rights of others. Regardless of whether any such claims are valid or can be asserted successfully, defending against such claims could cause us to incur significant costs and could divert resources away from our other activities. In addition, assertion of infringement claims could result in injunctions that prevent us from distributing our products. If any claims or actions are asserted against us, we may seek to obtain a license to the intellectual property rights that are in dispute. Such a license may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all, which could force us to change our manufacturing processes or product offerings.

 

We will incur significant costs as a result of our operating as a public reporting company and our management’s requirement to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

While we are a public company quoted on the OTC Markets-OTC Pink Current, our compliance costs prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part were not substantial in light of our limited operations and limited public reporting obligations. As a company subject to public reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, we incur increased legal, accounting and other expenses. The costs of preparing and filing annual, quarterly and current reports and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to shareholders is time-consuming and costly, and may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

It will also be time-consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our management has limited or no experience operating a company subject to the rules and reporting practices required by the federal securities laws and applicable to a publicly traded company. Our management currently relies in many instances on the professional experience and advice of third parties including our attorneys and accountants. We will need to train our current management and staff and retain additional financial reporting, internal control and other personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate accounting, internal controls and reporting procedures.

 

If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our business and adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

 

Upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we are required to establish and maintain internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures and to comply with other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules promulgated by the SEC. Our management will need to include a report on our internal control over financial reporting and its assessment on whether such internal controls were effective for the prior fiscal year with our annual reports that we file under the Exchange Act with the SEC following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Under current federal securities laws, our management may conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective.

 

However, for as long as we remain an “emerging growth company,” or EGC, as defined in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act, we may, and we intend to, take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements concerning management’s reports on effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting otherwise required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules promulgated by the SEC. We may, and we intend to, take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an EGC. We will cease to be an EGC at the earliest of (A) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 (as indexed for inflation in the manner set forth in the JOBS Act) or more; (B) the last day of the fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act occurs; (C) the date on which we have, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or (D) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act or any successor thereto.

 

10
 

 

Once we cease to be an EGC, as of each fiscal year end thereafter, our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to evaluate and report on our internal controls over financial reporting in the event we become an accelerated filer or large accelerated filer. To the extent we find material weaknesses or other deficiencies in our internal controls, we may determine that we have ineffective internal controls over financial reporting as of any particular fiscal year end, and we may receive an adverse assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting from our independent registered public accounting firm. Moreover, any material weaknesses or other deficiencies in our internal controls may delay the conclusion of an annual audit or a review of our quarterly financial results.

 

Our management has limited or no experience operating as a public reporting company under the Exchange Act or establishing the level of internal control over financial reporting required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our management currently relies in many instances on the professional experience and advice of third parties including our attorneys and accountants. At present, we have started reviewing and instituting internal controls, but it may take time to implement them fully as a newly public reporting company under the Exchange Act.

 

Our management cannot guarantee that our internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all possible errors. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no system of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the possibility that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and subject to simple error or mistake. Furthermore, controls can be circumvented by individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more persons, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

 

Our accounting personnel who are primarily responsible for the preparation and supervision of the preparation of our financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. have limited relevant education and training in generally accepted accounting procedures in the U.S., or U.S. GAAP, and SEC rules and regulations pertaining to financial reporting, which could impact our ability to prepare our financial statements and convert our books and records to U.S. GAAP.

 

Our management and accounting personnel have limited experience operating as a public company and establishing the level of internal control and financial reporting expertise required of a public company in the U.S. Our accounting personnel who have the primary responsibilities of preparing and supervising the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP for our reporting under the Exchange Act have limited relevant education and training in U.S. GAAP and related SEC rules and regulations. As such, they may be unable to identify potential accounting and disclosure issues that may arise upon the conversion of our books and records to U.S. GAAP, which could affect our ability to prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have taken steps to ensure that our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, including our hiring of a U.S. GAAP consultant to work with our accounting personnel and management to convert our books and records to U.S. GAAP and prepare our financial statements. In addition, our annual financial statements are audited by an independent auditor for compliance with U.S. GAAP and to ensure that all necessary and appropriate adjustments have been made. Until such time as we hire qualified accounting personnel or train our current accounting personnel with the requisite U.S. GAAP experience, however, the measures we have taken may not be sufficient to mitigate the foregoing risks associated with the limited education and training of our accounting personnel in U.S. GAAP and related SEC rules and regulations.

Risks Related to Our Securities

 

Our stock price may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you may lose part or all of your investment.

 

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate widely in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:

 

·market conditions or trends in the dietary supplement industry or in the economy as a whole;
·actions by competitors;
·actual or anticipated growth rates relative to our competitors;
·the public’s response to press releases or other public announcements by us or third parties, including our filings with the SEC;
·economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance;
·any future guidance we may provide to the public, any changes in such guidance or any difference between our guidance and actual results;
·changes in financial estimates or recommendations by any securities analysts who follow our common stock;
·speculation by the press or investment community regarding our business;
·litigation;
·changes in key personnel; and
·future sales of our common stock by our officers, directors and significant shareholders.

 

In addition, the stock markets, including the over-the-counter markets in which we are quoted, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These broad market fluctuations may materially affect our stock price, regardless of our operating results. Furthermore, the market for our common stock historically has been limited and we cannot assure you that a larger market will ever be developed or maintained. The price at which investors purchase shares of our common stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. Market fluctuations and volatility, as well as general economic, market and political conditions, could reduce our market price. As a result, these factors may make it more difficult or impossible for you to sell our common stock for a positive return on your investment. In the past, shareholders have instituted securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. If we were involved in securities litigation, we could incur substantial costs and our resources and the attention of management could be diverted from our business.

 

Shares of our common stock lack a significant trading market, which could make it more difficult for an investor to sell our common stock.

 

Shares of our common stock are not yet eligible for trading on any national securities exchange. Our common stock currently is quoted in the over-the-counter market on the OTC Markets-OTC Pink Current. This market tends to be highly illiquid. We anticipate applying for the quotation of our common stock on the OTC Markets-OTCQB upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We have not yet engaged a market maker to assist us to apply for quotation on the OTC Markets-OTCQB, however, and there can be no assurance of if and when we will meet the applicable requirements or such application would be granted. There is no assurance that an active trading market in our common stock will develop, or if such a market develops, that it will be sustained. In addition, there is a greater chance for market volatility for securities quoted in the over-the-counter markets as opposed to securities traded on a national exchange. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of “bid” and “ask” quotations and generally lower trading volume. As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of, our common stock, or to obtain coverage for significant news events concerning us, and our common stock could become substantially less attractive for margin loans, for investment by financial institutions, as consideration in future capital raising transactions or for other purposes.

 

12
 

 

Future sales of shares of our common stock, or the perception in the public markets that these sales may occur, may depress our stock price.

 

The market price of our common stock could decline significantly as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock in the market after this offering. In addition, if our significant shareholders sell a large number of shares, or if we issue a large number of shares, the market price of our stock could decline. Any issuance of additional common stock, or warrants or options to purchase our common stock, by us in the future would result in dilution to our existing shareholders. Such issuances could be made at a price that reflects a discount or a premium to the then-current trading price of our common stock. Moreover, the perception in the public market that shareholders might sell shares of our stock or that we could make a significant issuance of additional common stock in the future could depress the market for our shares. These sales, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock or make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. See “Shares Eligible for Future Sale.”

 

We have issued shares of common stock and warrants and options to purchase shares of our common stock in connection with our private placement and certain employment, director and consultant agreements. Shares of our common stock that were issued in connection with our private placement will be available for resale without restriction upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. In addition, we issued shares of our common stock, and options and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, in financing transactions and pursuant to employment agreements that are deemed to be “restricted securities,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. From time to time, certain of our shareholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their restricted shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, after satisfying a six-month holding period: (i) affiliated shareholders, or shareholders whose shares are aggregated, may, under certain circumstances, sell within any three-month period a number of securities which does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock or the average weekly trading volume of the class during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale and (ii) non-affiliated shareholders may sell without such limitations, in each case provided we are current in our public reporting obligations. Rule 144 also permits the sale of securities by non-affiliates that have satisfied a one-year holding period without any limitation or restriction. The resale under this offering or pursuant to Rule 144 of shares acquired from us in private transactions could cause our stock price to decline significantly.

 

We could issue additional common stock, which might dilute the book value of our common stock.

 

Our Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of our shareholders, to issue all or a part of our authorized but unissued shares. Our amended certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of January 1, 2013, there were 8,542,071 authorized and unissued shares of our common stock available for future issuance, based on 28,875,317 shares of our common stock outstanding and our reservation of 3,630,112 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants and 8,952,500 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of options outstanding and exercisable. Although we have no commitments as of the date of this prospectus to issue our securities, we may issue a substantial number of additional shares of our common stock or debt securities to complete a business combination or to raise capital. Such stock issuances could be made at a price that reflects a discount or a premium from the then-current trading price of our common stock. In addition, in order to raise capital, we may need to issue securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for a significant amount of our common stock. These issuances would dilute your percentage ownership interest, which would have the effect of reducing your influence on matters on which our shareholders vote, and might dilute the book value of our common stock. You may incur additional dilution if holders of stock options and warrants, whether currently outstanding or subsequently granted, exercise their options or warrants to purchase shares of our common stock.

 

We are an EGC, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to EGCs will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

 

We are an EGC, as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs. The modified disclosure requirements available to EGCs include reduced disclosure about our executive compensation and omission of a compensation discussion and analysis, which is also available to us as a smaller reporting company, and an exemption from the requirement of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and the requirement that shareholders approve any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In addition, we will not be subject to certain requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, including the additional testing of our internal control over financial reporting as may occur when outside auditors attest as to our internal controls over financial reporting, which is also not required of smaller reporting companies. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although we could lose that status sooner if our revenues exceed $1 billion, if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three year period, or if the market value of our common stock exceeds $700 million.

 

13
 

 

We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock, and our stock price may be more volatile.

 

Although the JOBS Act permits an EGC such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies, we are choosing to “opt out” of this provision, and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards as required when they are adopted. This decision to opt out of the extended transition period under the JOBS Act is irrevocable.

 

The application of the “penny stock” rules could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and increase your transaction costs to sell those shares.

 

Our common stock may be subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to issuers whose common stock does not trade on a national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share, or that have a tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC that contains the following information:

 

·a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
·a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to violation to such duties or other requirements of securities laws;
·a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the “bid” and “ask” prices;
·a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
·definitions of any significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and
·such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format), as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

 

Prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer also must provide the customer with the following information:

 

·bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
·compensation of the broker-dealer and our salesperson in the transaction;
·number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and
·monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

 

The penny stock rules further require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

 

Due to the requirements of the penny stock rules, many broker-dealers have decided not to trade penny stocks. As a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities. Moreover, if our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.

 

14
 

 

Our principal shareholder has the ability to exert significant control in matters requiring a shareholder vote and could delay, deter or prevent a change of control in our company.

 

As of January 1, 2013, Mr. McLaughlin, our President and largest shareholder, beneficially owned 31% of our outstanding shares of common stock. Mr. McLaughlin exerts significant influence over us, giving him the ability, among other things, to exercise significant control over the election of all or a majority of the Board of Directors and to approve significant corporate transactions. Such share ownership and control may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a future change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company. This, in turn, could have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. It could also prevent our shareholders from realizing a premium over the market price for their shares of common stock. Without the consent of Mr. McLaughlin, we could be prevented from entering into potentially beneficial transactions if such transactions conflict with our principal shareholder’s interests.

 

We do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future, and, accordingly, any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.

 

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the Board of Directors may consider relevant. We intend to follow a policy of retaining all of our earnings to finance the development and execution of our strategy and the expansion of our business. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will occur only if our stock price appreciates.

 

Our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act and, as a result, we will not be subject to the federal proxy rules and our directors, executive officers and 10% beneficial holders will not be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, our reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act may be suspended automatically if we have fewer than 300 holders of record on the first day of our fiscal year.

 

Shares of our common stock are not registered under the Exchange Act and we do not intend to register our common stock under the Exchange Act for the foreseeable future, provided that, we will register our common stock under the Exchange Act if we have, after the last day of our fiscal year, holders of record of more than either (1) 2,000 or more persons or (2) 500 or more persons who are not accredited investors, in accordance with Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, as amended by the JOBS Act. As a result, upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, we will be subject solely to the reporting obligations of Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act so long as we do not subsequently register under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act by filing a Form 8-A or another Exchange Act registration statement. As long as our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act, we will be required to file only annual, quarterly and current reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and we will not be subject to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, which, among other things, prohibits companies that have securities registered under the Exchange Act from soliciting proxies or consents from shareholders without furnishing to shareholders and filing with the SEC a proxy statement and form of proxy complying with the proxy rules. In addition, so long as our common shares are not registered under the Exchange Act, our directors, executive officers and beneficial holders of 10% or more of our outstanding common stock will not be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires directors, executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of common stock and other equity securities on Forms 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Such information about our directors, executive officers and 10% beneficial holders will only be available through this and any subsequent registration statement or periodic reports we file pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

 

Furthermore, so long as our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act, our obligation to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act will be automatically suspended if, on the first day of any fiscal year, other than a fiscal year in which a registration statement under the Securities Act has gone effective, we have fewer than 300 holders of record. This suspension is automatic and does not require any filing with the SEC. In such an event, we may cease providing periodic reports and current or periodic information, including operational and financial information. As of January 1, 2013, we had 327 holders of record.

 

15
 

 

Certain provisions of our corporate governance documents and Delaware law could discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition at a premium price.

 

Our amended certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may make the acquisition of our company more difficult without the approval of our Board of Directors. These include provisions that:

 

·provide that our Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal our bylaws;
·provide our Board of Directors with the sole power to set the size of our Board of Directors and fill vacancies; and
·provide that special meetings of shareholders may be called only by our Board of Directors, Chairman of the Board of Directors, upon written notice of demand by our President or upon written notice of demand by the holders of at least 25% of the shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

 

These and other provisions of our amended certificate of incorporation and bylaws could delay, defer or prevent us from experiencing a change of control or changes in our Board of Directors and management and may adversely affect our shareholders’ voting and other rights.

 

In addition, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any of a broad range of business combinations with a shareholder owning 15% or more of such corporation’s outstanding voting stock for a period of three years following the date on which such shareholder became an “interested” shareholder. In order for us to consummate a business combination with an “interested” shareholder within three years of the date on which the shareholder became “interested,” either (1) the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the shareholder becoming “interested” must be approved by our board of directors prior to the date the shareholder became “interested,” (2) the “interested” shareholder must own at least 85% of our outstanding voting stock at the time the transaction commences (excluding voting stock owned by directors who are also officers and certain employee stock plans) or (3) the business combination must be approved by our board of directors and authorized by at least two-thirds of our shareholders (excluding the “interested” shareholder). This provision could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control, whether or not it is desired by or beneficial to our shareholders. Any delay or prevention of a change of control transaction or changes in our board of directors and management could deter potential acquirers or prevent the completion of a transaction in which our shareholders could receive a substantial premium over the then-current market price for their shares of our common stock. See “Description of Capital Stock—Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute” and “Description of Capital Stock—Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of our Amended Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.”

Overview

 

We manufacture, distribute and sell natural immune support products. We believe, based on testing and analysis conducted on our behalf, that our beta glucans derived from yeast are superior to other beta glucans. Beta glucans are a natural extract that has been shown through testing and analysis and scientific research to support the immune system. Our core nutraceutical and cosmetic product lines consist of yeast beta glucans in oral and topical applications. Our beta glucan products and manufacturing processes are protected by patents and trade secrets and are compliant with current GMPs. Yeast beta glucans are classified as GRAS by the FDA. Historically, we have sold our products primarily on a word-of-mouth basis through distributors and our website as standalone product lines, as well as business-to-business as dietary supplement and a cosmetic enhancement, and as a feed-additive for animal use. As of 2011, we began exiting this lower-margin market for feed-additive products. Our sales and marketing efforts going forward are concentrated on our oral and topical-use products for healthcare professionals, distributors and direct-to-consumer sales.

 

We originally incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, in 1987 under the name Anina Resources, Inc. and subsequently changed our name to Immudyne, Inc. and our jurisdiction to the State of Wyoming by continuance in September 1987. On June 30, 1994, we changed our jurisdiction to Delaware by merger with and into Immudyne, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed on June 21, 1994.

 

Significant factors that we believe could affect our operating results are (i) marketing and advertising expenses; (ii) protection of our intellectual property rights; and (iii) imposition of more stringent government regulations of our products.

 

Our marketing strategy is to promote sales of our oral and topical-use products, which constitute our core business as we shift from low-margin, feed-additive product sales. We believe that we are well positioned to capitalize on our development of proprietary and patented products and can now focus on commercializing sales on a more meaningful, global basis. We expect that a significant component of our selling, general and administration expenses going forward will consist of marketing and advertising expenses to increase our sales. The primary components of our marketing and advertising expenses may include online sales promotions through our website, trade advertising, direct marketing to nutraceutical companies and industry associations, consumer research and search engine and digital advertising. We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we incur increased costs related to our marketing strategy and growth of our business. These costs, along with the additional costs resulting from our operations as a public reporting company, could impact our future operating profitability.

 

19
 

 

We historically have expended a significant amount of our funds on obtaining and protecting our patents, trade secrets and proprietary products. We rely on the patent and trademark protection laws in the U.S. to protect our intellectual property and maintain our competitive position in the marketplace. For several years, we were involved in complex litigation regarding patents and licenses critical to our products. In 2010, we prevailed on all major legal matters and reached a favorable settlement. If additional litigation becomes necessary to protect our intellectual property rights, such litigation may be costly, divert our management’s attention away from our core business and have a negative impact on our operations. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that litigation would result in an outcome favorable to us.

 

Our manufacturing processes are compliant in the U.S. with current cGMPs and our yeast beta glucan products are all natural. Further, yeast beta glucans are designated as GRAS under current FDA regulations. Future government regulations may prevent or delay the introduction or require the reformulation of our products. Some agencies, such as the FDA, could require us to remove a particular product from the market, delay or prevent the import of raw materials for the manufacture of our products or otherwise disrupt the marketing of our products. Any such government actions could result in additional costs to us, including reduced growth prospects, lost sales from products that we are required to remove from the market and potential product liability litigation.

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

 

The following table sets forth the results of our operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

 

   2012   2011 
   $   % of Sales   $   % of Sales 
Sales   558,218         569,112      
Cost of sales   129,709    23%   168,382    30%
Gross profit   428,509    77%   400,730    70%
Operating expenses   (837,523)   (150)%   (916,897)   (161)%
Loss from operations   (409,014)   (73)%   (516,167)   91)%
Other income, net   21,629    4%   59,504    10%
Income tax income   12,900    2%   12,900    2%
Net loss   (374,485)   (67)%   (443,763)   (78)%

 

Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, were $0.56 million, which was slightly less than the same period of 2011, $0.57 million. Sales remained largely the same in the first nine months of 2012 and 2011 as we exited the lower-margin market for feed-additive products in favor of concentrating on our oral and topical –use products for healthcare professionals, distributors and direct-to-consumer sales, which we anticipate will constitute our core business going forward. Sales of our oral and topical-use products consisted of 99% our sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, whereas sales of our animal feed additive products consisted of 20% and 62% for the 2011 and 2010 fiscal years, respectively.

 

Cost of sales consists primarily of material costs, labor costs and related overhead directly attributable to the production of our products. Total cost of sales decreased by 23% to $129,709 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $168,382 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, which was within our expectations. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of sales in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the first nine months of 2011 resulted primarily from the shift in our market concentration.

 

Gross profit increased 7% to $428,509 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $400,730 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Our gross profit margin increased to 77% in the first nine months of 2012 from 70% in the same periods of 2011 as our mix of products consisted primarily of our higher-margin oral and topical-use products and nominal sales of our lower-margin feed-additive products. Management believes that our gross profit margin will stabilize at approximately 76% as we expand our oral and topical-use product lines and sales.

 

20
 

 

Operating expenses, consisting of compensation and related expenses and general and administration expense, decreased 9% to $0.84 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, from $0.92 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. General and administration expense increased 84% to $0.55 million in the 2012 period due primarily to increasing accounting, auditing and legal expenses incurred as result of management’s decision to become a public company. Management has instituted cost-cutting measures that we believe should result in improved efficiencies of our operations going forward. These measures include terminating certain employees that are not contributing to the development of the business and ceasing our operations in the low-margin feed additive product line. Compensation and related expense was $0.29 million in the 2012 period compared to $0.62 million in the 2011 period as we granted options to our directors, executive officer, employees and consultants in 2011 pursuant to (i) a new director agreement, and (ii) employment agreements.

 

Other income was $21,629 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared with other income of $59,504 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $37,875. The decrease in other income was from decreased proceeds from litigation settlement, decreased interest expense and receipt of a one-time customer signing fee in the 2011 period.

 

Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, was $0.37 million compared to a net loss of $0.44 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $0.07 million or 15%. Net loss as a percentage of sales was 67% in the 2012 period compared to net loss as a percentage of sales of 78% in the 2011 period. This decrease in net loss was attributable primarily to decreased stock compensation expense.

 

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

 

The following table sets forth the results of our operations for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010:

 

   2011   2010 
   $   % of Sales   $   % of Sales 
Sales   743,828         1,271,975      
Cost of sales   241,264    32%   426,107    33%
Gross profit   502,564    68%   845,868    67%
Operating expenses   (1,078,931)   (145)%   (1,170,436)   (92)%
Loss from operations   (576,367)   (77)%   (324,568)   (26)%
Other income (expenses), net   (56,238)   8%   (10,073)   (1)%
Income tax income   17,200    2%   17,000    1%
Net loss   (502,929)   (68)%   (317,641)   (25)%

 

Sales in 2011 were $0.74 million, a decrease of 42% from $1.27 million in 2010. The decrease in sales resulted primarily from a decline in feed-additive sales and change in sales and marketing strategy. We changed focus in 2011 to concentrate our sales and marketing efforts on promoting our oral and topical-use products, which we anticipate will constitute our core business going forward. Sales of our oral and topical-use products increased 25% to $0.60 million in 2011 compared to 2010, and consisted of 80% and 38% of our sales in 2011 and 2010, respectively. Sales of our lower-margin feed-additive products consisted of 20% and 62% of our sales in 2011 and 2010, respectively. We anticipate further decreased sales of our feed-additive products as a percentage of our overall sales as we continue to change our product focus toward oral and topical-use products.

 

Cost of sales consists primarily of material costs, labor costs and related overhead directly attributable to the production of our products. Total cost of sales decreased 43% to $0.24 million in 2011 compared to $0.43 million in 2010 due primarily to decreased sales. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of sales in the first half of 2012 compared to the first half of 2011 resulted primarily from the shift in our market concentration.

 

Gross profit decreased 41% to $0.50 million in 2011 compared to $0.85 million in 2010. Our gross profit margin increased to 68% in 2011 compared to 67% in 2010. The increase in gross profit margin from 2010 to 2011 resulted primarily from our change in sales from lower-margin feed-additive products to higher-margin oral and topical-use products. Management believes that our gross profit margin will stabilize at approximately 76% as we expand our oral and topical-use product lines and sales.

 

21
 

 

Operating expenses consisted of general and administrative expenses and stock compensation expense. Operating expenses decreased 8% to $1.08 million in 2011 from $1.17 million in 2010. General and administration expense decreased 42% to $0.68 million due primarily to management instituting cost-cutting measures. Stock compensation expense was $0.40 million in 2011 compared to $0 in 2010 as we granted options to our directors, executive officer, employees and consultants in 2011 pursuant to a new director and employment agreements.

 

Other income was $56,238 in 2011 compared with other expense of $10,073 in 2010, an increase of $66,311. The increase in other income was from increased proceeds from litigation settlement and one-time customer signing fee and decreased interest expense.

 

Our net loss for 2011 was $0.50 million compared to net loss of $0.32 million in 2010, an increase of $0.19 million or 58%. Net loss as a percentage of sales was 68% in 2011 compared to net loss as a percentage of sales of 25% in 2010. This decrease in net income was attributable to decreased sales and increased stock compensation expense.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal demands for liquidity are to increase sales, purchase inventory and for sales distribution and general corporate purposes. We have limited operating capital and intend to meet our liquidity requirements, including purchase of raw materials and the expansion of our business, primarily through cash flow provided by operations. Historically, we also have funded operations through loans and advances from our directors and officers and offerings of equity securities. In 2011 and 2010, we raised $193,500 and $34,000, respectively, through sales of our common stock in private placements. In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we raised $313,383 through sales of our common stock in private placements. In 2011, we satisfied $214,000 in notes payable through exercises of warrants and options. In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we satisfied $311,443 in notes payable through exercises of options and issuances of common stock in connection with the private placements. We may seek additional financing in the form of loans from banks or our directors and officers, or funds raised through future offerings of our equity or debt, if and when we determine such offerings are required. Any future issuance of equity securities could cause dilution to our shareholders. Any incurrence of indebtedness could increase our debt service obligations and cause us to be subject to restrictive operating and financial covenants.

 

Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

 

We had net working capital of $70,031at September 30, 2012, an increase of $453,662 from net working capital deficit of $383,631 at September 30, 2011. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.3 -to- 1 at September 30, 2012.

 

The following is a summary of cash provided by or used in each of the indicated types of activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

Net cash flow used in operating activities was $165,473 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to net cash flow used in operating activities of $4,386 for the 2011 period. The increase in net cash outflow in operating activities was attributable primarily to our shifting our decision to become a fully reporting public company and our focus to marketing our oral and topical-use products.

 

Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $0.29 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to net cash flow of $$0.06 million for the 2011 period.

Indebtedness

 

From time to time, our directors, officers and other related individuals have made short-term advances to us for our operating needs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, notes payable due to officer and other related individuals totaling $50,729 were repaid and the balance of notes payable and amounts due to officer, aggregating $311,443, were converted to common stock. Interest expense on notes payable amounted to $3,371 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

 

We are subject to a royalty agreement pursuant to which we are required to pay a monthly royalty of 8% on all sales of certain skin care products up to $227,175. At September 30, 2012, we included $90,938 in accounts payable and accrued expenses relating to this royalty agreement, with the remaining commitment under the royalty agreement at approximately $120,000. Our President, Mr. McLaughlin, has a 60% interest in the royalties paid under the agreement and has voluntarily deferred payments due without interest until we have the financial wherewithal to pay such royalties.

Legal Matters

 

In November 2005, we filed suit in Texas against Biopolymer Engineering, Inc. d/b/a Biothera who was claiming ownership of certain patents we own covering our yeast beta glucan products. Biothera subsequently filed suit against us in Federal Court in Minnesota alleging infringement of the same patents. The state court case proceeded to trial in which it was adjudicated that we were the owner of all of the patents at issue. In November 2009, we entered into a settlement agreement that resolved all litigation aspects of the federal and state court proceedings. The settlement agreement stipulated that we were the owner of all of the patents at issue. As part of the settlement agreement, we received $440,000 as reimbursement for litigation costs. In addition, we were awarded $200,000 in eight installments of $25,000 every six months beginning on January 15, 2011, in return for an exclusive patent license to Biothera for U.S. Patent No. 5,702,719, covering our beta glucan derived from yeast for dermatological and nutritional use. The term of the license agreement is consistent with the term of the $25,000 semi-annual payments. The $25,000 installments are being recorded as revenue only upon receipt of the funds. At September 30, 2012, $100,000 remained to be paid to us under this agreement.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements between us and any other entity 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 of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to shareholders.

 

We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as stockholders’ equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

While our significant accounting policies are described more fully in Note 2 to our financial statements, we believe the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis.

 

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., or U.S. GAAP. In preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates required by management include the valuation of inventory and stockholders’ equity-based transactions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market value with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Management compares the cost of inventory with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down their inventories to market value, if lower.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s policy is to record revenue as earned when a firm commitment, indicating sales quantity and price exists, delivery has taken place and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company generally records sales once the product is shipped to the customer. If applicable, provisions for discounts, returns, allowances, customer rebates and other adjustments are netted with gross sales. The Company accounts for such provisions during the same period in which the related revenues are earned. Customer discounts, returns and rebates have not been significant.

 

24
 

 

Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer. Sales to international distributors are recognized in the same manner. If title does not pass until the product reaches the customer’s delivery site, then recognition of revenue is deferred until that time. There are no formal sales incentives offered to any of the Company’s customers. Volume discounts may be offered from time to time to customers purchasing large quantities on a per transaction basis. There are no special post shipment obligations or acceptance provisions that exist with any sales arrangements

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, “Share-Based Payment”. Under this guidance compensation cost generally is recognized at fair value on the date of the grant and amortized over the respective vesting periods. The fair value of options at the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected option life is derived from assumed exercise rates based upon historical exercise patterns and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our shares using weekly price observations over an observation period that approximates the expected life of the options. The risk-free rate approximates the U.S. Treasury yield curve rate in effect at the time of grant for periods similar to the expected option life. The estimated forfeiture rate included in the option valuation was zero.

 

Many of the assumptions require significant judgment and any changes could have a material impact in the determination of stock-based compensation expense.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

OUR BUSINESS

 

Our Company

 

We manufacture, distribute and sell natural immune support products. We believe, based on testing and analysis conducted on our behalf, that our beta glucans derived from yeast are superior to other beta glucans. Beta glucans are a natural extract that has been shown through testing and analysis and scientific research to support the immune system.

 

Our core nutraceutical and cosmetic product lines are the focal points of our business. Our beta glucan products and manufacturing processes are protected by patents and trade secrets, and are compliant with current GMPs. Further, yeast beta glucans are classified as GRAS by the FDA. None of the testing and analysis or scientific research mentioned in this prospectus, however, has been subject to oversight of the FDA or any comparable regulatory body, and no regulatory body has attested to the efficacy of beta glucans in supporting the immune system or otherwise treating disease. Further, the marketing of beta glucans are not subject to FDA approval, and we are prohibited by FTC and FDA regulations from suggesting in advertisements and product labels that our products mitigate, treat, cure or prevent a specific disease or class of disease.

 

Historically, we have sold our products primarily on a word-of-mouth basis through distributors and our website as standalone product lines, as well as business-to-business as a cosmetic product, dietary supplement or feed additive for animal use. We believe that we are well positioned to capitalize on our development of proprietary and patented natural immune support products and can now focus on commercializing sales of these products on a more meaningful, global basis.

 

We originally incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, in 1987 under the name Anina Resources, Inc. and subsequently changed our name to Immudyne, Inc. and our jurisdiction to the State of Wyoming by continuance in September 1987. On June 30, 1994, we changed our jurisdiction to Delaware by merger with and into Immudyne, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed on June 21, 1994.

 

Our Products

 

We have developed a proprietary approach to produce, what we believe to be, superior beta glucans derived from yeast. Our yeast beta glucan is odorless and tasteless, making it suitable for use in a wide variety of oral and topical applications. Yeast beta glucans are classified as GRAS by the FDA. As the U.S. and international markets become more aware of the value of our proprietary products, we believe demand for our beta glucans will increase. Our nutraceutical and cosmetic product lines consist of beta glucan products for oral and topical applications as all-natural raw material ingredients in bulk quantities and finished, consumer products packaged under our brands and private label brands. Historically, we produced other grades of beta glucan products for the animal feeds industry as a substitute for antibiotics. As of 2011, we began exiting this lower-margin market for feed-additive products. Our sales and marketing efforts going forward are concentrated on our oral and topical-use products for healthcare professionals, distributors and direct-to-consumer sales.

 

Beta Glucans

 

Beta glucans, or β-Glucans, are a natural extract shown through scientific research to be “biological response modifiers” that support the immune system. The potential benefits of beta glucans to human health continue to emerge. Independent scientific research has demonstrated that beta glucans provide defense against bacteria by activating innate immune cells, which fight off infection. In addition, a growing body of scientific literature suggests that beta glucans have a substantial effect on cancer regression, though such literature has not been attested to by the FDA or any comparable regulatory authority. The most common sources of beta glucans are derived from the cell walls of baker’s yeast, the cellulose in plants, the bran of cereal grains and certain fungi and bacteria. The differences between beta glucan chemical structures are significant in regards to solubility and overall biological activity. Beta glucans derived from mushrooms and cereals do not appear to have the same effects on human health as beta glucans derived from yeast.

 

26
 

 

We derive our high-grade beta glucan from yeast cell walls using proprietary processes in our manufacturing facilities. Our beta glucan is free of yeast by-product and endotoxins, and demonstrates reliability in terms of both stability and biological response. In fact, we commissioned an analytical side-by-side comparison by V-Labs Inc., a laboratory which conducts testing and analysis on nutraceutical compounds, between our beta glucan and each of the beta glucans manufactured by our two main competitors, which demonstrated the superiority of our beta glucan. This side-by-side comparison found that our beta glucan was far less impure and more uniform in composition than those of our competitors and thus had a more predictable immune support potential.

 

Healthcare professionals, including licensed physicians, alternative medicine practitioners, scientists and researchers have taken an interest in our immune-support products as a means of offering alternative or complementary approaches for maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle. These expressions of interests have often resulted in proposals for research studies and recommendations of our products. We plan to build upon this interest and hope to grow our contacts with licensed physicians who utilize our product in a clinical setting and with researchers who have the resources to conduct testing and analysis on our products.

 

The health benefits of yeast beta glucans have been demonstrated through extensive testing and analysis and scientific research on yeast beta glucans generally, and we are committed to supporting evidence-based studies that demonstrate the health benefits of our products. General scientific research on beta glucan derived from yeast cell walls has been conducted in recent years by renowned medical laboratories, including Baylor College of Medicine, U.S. Armed Forces Radiobiology Institute, Stanford University, Southwest Research Institute, Case Western Reserve University, University of Arkansas, North Carolina State University, University of Bern, Switzerland, and the China Agricultural University, China.

 

We also have relationships with medical doctors who in the past have conducted self-funded studies in which we supplied our product free of charge. We do not have any formal clinical development or research agreements with these institutions and doctors. Dr. Joseph DiTrolio of the Roseland, New Jersey surgery center and St. George’s University School of Medicine and Dr. Allan Whitberg, previously of Roger Williams Medical Center in Providence, Rhode Island and currently affiliated with Boston University School of Medicine, are among the medical doctors with whom we have relationships. We also have established a relationship with National Jewish Health in Denver, Colorado and are exploring possible opportunities to have our products tested at the Boston University Medical Center. Additionally, in two studies reviewed in an article published in the Japanese Journal Society Terminal Systemic Diseases in 2000, participants ingesting our yeast beta glucan showed a decreased reoccurance of cancer in cancer remission patients and increased survival rates in terminally-ill cancer patients. In addition, female study participants testing the effect of our yeast beta glucan in topical applications saw a significant reduction in the number and intensity of skin wrinkles over the eight-week study. We presented the results of these and other studies supporting the efficacy of our products at the BIO-Europe global biotechnology conference in November 2010 and World Immune Regulator Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, in March 2012.

 

None of the testing and analysis or scientific research mentioned in this prospectus has been subject to oversight of the FDA or any comparable regulatory body, and no regulatory body has attested to the efficacy of beta glucans in supporting the immune system or otherwise treating disease. Further, the marketing of beta glucans are not subject to FDA approval, and we are prohibited by FTC and FDA regulations from suggesting in advertisements and product labels that our products mitigate, treat, cure or prevent a specific disease or class of disease.

Yeast Beta Glucan Product Lines

  

Our nutraceutical and cosmetic product lines consist of our all-natural, premium yeast beta glucans in oral and topical applications shown through testing and analysis and scientific research to support the immune system. Neutraceuticals are plant-derived products, such as our yeast beta glucans, with pharmaceutical-like properties that have biologically-therapeutic effects in humans and animals in addition to the basic nutritional value found in foods. Further, yeast beta glucans are classified as GRAS by the FDA and our products are designed to help support the body’s immune system response and defense. We offer our yeast beta glucans as all-natural raw material ingredients in bulk quantities and finished, consumer products packaged under our brands and private label brands.

  

 

Our MacroForce Plus once-daily oral capsules and Skin Care Essentials line of rejuvenating serums and creams.

 

Our principal, branded nutraceutical and cosmetic products for our yeast beta glucans are the MacroForce line of once-daily oral capsules and Skin Care Essentials line of rejuvenating serums and creams. Our MacroForce line of once-daily oral capsules are dietary supplements containing proprietary combinations of our yeast beta glucan to support immune system function. Our Skin Care Essentials Rejuvenating Serum and Rejuvenating Cream topical applications consist of our patented yeast-derived beta glucan and other natural ingredients to support the skin’s immune system response and defense, skin renewal and repair of sun and environmental damage.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Our sales and marketing strategy is to build brand recognition of our products as superior beta glucans derived from yeast. Historically, we have sold our products primarily on a word-of-mouth basis through distributors and our website as standalone product lines, as well as business-to-business as a cosmetic enhancement, dietary supplement or feed additive for animal use. We have shifted our sales focus to concentrate on our nutraceutical and cosmetic product lines. We believe that we are well positioned to capitalize on our development of proprietary and patented products and can now focus on commercializing sales of these products on a more meaningful, global basis. Our principal products are consumables that can generate a stream of repeat sales with the same end customers over an extended period, providing significant lifetime value for each customer gained. To reach these customers, we anticipate that our marketing strategy will include online sales promotions through our website, commencing an affiliate sales program, trade advertising, consumer research and search engine and digital advertising. In addition, we intend to build our brand recognition with healthcare professionals through testing and analysis and providing practitioners and clinics with education and support. We believe that the recommendation of our products by healthcare professionals to their patients provides the best possible endorsement.

 

We also market our products by presenting at international biotechnology and alternative medicine conferences and through nutraceutical industry associations and tradeshows. In March 2012, we presented the outcome of our cancer studies at the World Immune Regulator Meeting in Davos, Switzerland. The special focus of the meeting was on innate and adaptive immune response and the role of tissues in immune regulation. In November 2010, we presented the results of the studies demonstrating the efficacy of our yeast beta glucan in terminally ill cancer patients and cancer remission patients at the BIO-Europe biotechnology partnership conference in Munich, Germany.

 

Manufacturing and Sourcing

 

Over the past 20 years, we have focused on the production of immune system support compounds, including, what we believe to be, are superior beta glucans derived from yeast. Our beta glucan products and manufacturing processes are protected by registered and pending patents and trade secrets. Our highly trained and experienced staff produces consistently high-grade, particulate and reliable beta glucan, including the raw materials for our nutraceutical and cosmetic product lines, in our Kentucky-based production plant. Our manufacturing facilities and practices are compliant with published current Good Manufacturing Practices established by the FDA for dietary supplements. For certain of our packaged consumer goods, such as the MacroForce product line, we use third party contractors for encapsulation, bottling and labeling. These contractors are subject to regular government inspections, comply with current GMPs and hold the necessary drug manufacturing licenses and processed food registrations required by their respective state regulators. Such packaging services are readily available from multiple sources.

 

28
 

 

The raw materials necessary to manufacture beta glucans in our Kentucky plant, principally consisting of baker’s yeast, are common and readily available. Our principal suppliers are the Lesaffre Group and Brenntag Group. We hold our suppliers to strict quality and delivery specifications as part of our GMP compliance and quality control procedures, including quality assurance of raw materials used in the production of our products.

 

Customers

 

We sell our products direct to consumers and to pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and consumer product companies in the U.S. market, and plan to expand our sales to the international market. Sales through distributors and business-to-business typically are made pursuant to supplier agreements executed in the ordinary course of business with individual orders made on standard purchase orders. We focus on establishing and growing long-term relationships with our customers, and we believe that the majority of our customers view us as a strategic long-term supplier and value the quality of our beta glucan products.

 

As we seek to expand our U.S. and global sales, our marketing concentrates on our nutraceutical and cosmetic product lines as a raw material ingredient available in bulk quantities and finished, consumer products packaged under our brands and private label brands. We anticipate that our customer mix will change accordingly to include more sales through distributors and our planned affiliate program, and direct sales to consumers. We encourage nutriceutical and nutricosmetic manufacturers and formulators purchasing our beta glucans as all-natural raw material ingredients to identify and promote our brand in their products. As our principal products are consumables that typically generate repeat sales streams with the same end customers over an extended period, we historically have not experienced seasonality of sales.

 

Sales of our oral and topical-use products consisted of 99% and of our sales for the first nine months of 2012, and consisted of 80% and 38% of our sales in 2011 and 2010, respectively. Sales of our animal feed additive products consisted of 1% of our sales for the first nine months of 2012 and, 20% and 62% of our sales in 2011 and 2010, respectively. We anticipate further decreased sales of our feed-additive products for animals as a percentage of our overall sales as we change our product focus to our oral and topical-use products. Our largest customer accounted for 77% and 58% of our sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 53% and 23% of our total sales in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

Competition

 

The markets for nutritional supplements and skin care products are highly competitive, consisting of a large number of manufacturers, distributors and retailers, none of which dominates the fragmented and diverse markets. We compete for sales direct to consumers, through distributors and business-to-business.

 

Although we believe that our yeast beta glucan is superior, we compete with other companies manufacturing beta glucans from yeast and other sources, as well as companies producing other food ingredients and nutritional supplements for human use and as feed additives. Many end consumers may consider such products to be a replacement for the products we manufacture and distribute. Many of our competitors have greater marketing, research and capital resources than us, and may be able to offer their products at lower costs because of their greater purchasing power or lower cost of raw materials and manufacturing.

 

We anticipate expanding our sales globally on a meaningful basis as part of our new marketing strategy focusing on our nutraceutical and cosmetic product lines. We believe that we are well positioned to capitalize on our development of proprietary and patented products to compete in the immune support markets. We anticipate competing in these markets on the basis of quality, our proprietary manufacturing processes, research data and effective marketing campaigns promoting the benefits of our natural immune support products. There are no assurances that our products will be able to compete in these markets, however, or that our new marketing strategy will be successful.

 

29
 

 

Intellectual Property

 

We rely on the patent and trademark protection laws in the U.S. to protect our intellectual property and maintain our competitive position in the marketplace. We have six registered patents, consisting of both use and process patents, in the U.S. with expiration dates ranging from 2013 to 2028. Additionally, we currently have one patent application filed in the U.S. and pending formal review and a second provisional patent application pending, and we intend to apply for additional patents in the future as new products, uses and manufacturing processes are developed. We maintain trademarks registered in the U.S. for our business name and related to our product brands. In addition, we have registered and maintain internet domain names related to our business, including “immudyne.com.” Collectively, the patents, trademarks and domain names that we hold are of material importance to us.

 

Research and Development

 

Our expertise for many years has been in the enhancement of efficient, stable and cost-effective production systems for beta glucan products derived from yeast, though we have not incurred any research and development expenses to date. We may increase future investments to establish the scientific basis for health claims of our existing products and to develop new products and applications based on our growth and available capital.

 

Governmental and Environmental Regulation

 

Our business and the manufacturing, distribution and sale of our beta glucan products are regulated in the U.S. primarily by the FDA and the FTC.

 

The FDA enforces the FDCA and DSHEA as they pertain to foods, food ingredients, cosmetics and dietary supplement production and marketing. Dietary supplements and nutraceuticals are regulated as a category of food, not as drugs. The FDA classifies “Yeast extract (Bakers)” as GRAS, which substances by definition are not food additives. Most GRAS substances have no quantitative restrictions as to use, although their use must conform to current GMPs. The FDA promulgates GMP guidelines to ensure that dietary supplements are produced in a quality manner, do not contain contaminants or impurities and are accurately labeled. GMPs include requirements for establishing quality control procedures, designing and constructing manufacturing plants, testing ingredients and finished products and record keeping and handling of consumer product complaints. The FDA has broad authority to enforce the provisions of federal law applicable to dietary supplements and cosmetics, including the power to monitor claims made in product labeling, to seize adulterated or misbranded products or unapproved new drugs, to request product recall, to enjoin further manufacture or sale of a product, to issue warning letters and to institute criminal proceedings.

 

Advertising and product claims regarding the efficacy of products are also regulated by the FTC. The FTC regulates the advertising of dietary supplements and other health-related products to ensure that any advertising is truthful and not misleading, and that an advertiser maintains adequate substantiation for all product claims. FTC enforcement actions may result in consent decrees, cease and desist orders, judicial injunctions and the payment of fines with respect to advertising claims that are found to be unsubstantiated.

 

Yeast beta glucans are classified as GRAS by the FDA and our oral and topical-use product lines containing our yeast beta glucan are marketed as dietary supplements and cosmetics, respectively. Under current U.S. regulations, our products must comply with certain labeling requirements enforced by the FDA and FTC, but otherwise generally are not required to receive regulatory approval prior to introduction into the U.S. market. We believe we are in compliance with all material government regulations applicable to our products.

 

In the EU markets, the EFSA, an advisory panel to the European Commission, performs all scientific assessments of health claims on food and supplement labels. The European Commission will consider the opinions of EFSA in determining whether to include a health claim on list of permissible claims. Once published, only health claims for ingredients and products included on the list may be used in promotional materials for products marketed and sold in the European Union. The marketability of our products may be limited as we look to expand our sales in the EU if the health claims of our products are not included on the list.

 

30
 

 

In addition to the foregoing, our operations are subject to federal, foreign, state and local government laws and regulations, including those relating to zoning, workplace safety and accommodations for the disabled, and our relationship with our employees is subject to regulations, including minimum wage requirements, anti-discrimination laws, overtime, working conditions and citizenship requirements. We currently do not incur any material costs in connection with our compliance with applicable environmental laws as our manufacturing processes generate minimal discharge. Furthermore, the cost of maintaining compliance with applicable environmental laws has not, and we believe, in the future, will not, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We believe we are in substantial compliance with all material governmental regulations applicable to our operations.

 

Employees

 

As of September 30, 2012, we had 3 full-time employees and 11 part-time employees and consultants worldwide. We outsource many of our research, product development and marketing activities to consultants who provide services to us on a project basis. We believe that relations with our employees are satisfactory. We have no collective bargaining agreements with our employees. All full-time employees and our officers and directors are eligible to participate in our group health and dental insurance plans.

 

Property

 

Our principal executive offices are in office space provided at no cost to us by our President in Mount Kisco, New York. We lease a manufacturing facility with warehouse space consisting of approximately 15,000 square feet in Florence, Kentucky, in the vicinity of the Cincinnati, Ohio, airport. We believe that our existing office and manufacturing facilities are adequate for current and presently foreseeable operations. In general, our properties are well maintained and being utilized for their intended purposes. See Notes 3 and 8 to our financial statements contained herein, which disclose amounts invested in lease agreements and furnishings and equipment.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

We may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may have an adverse effect on our business, financial conditions or operating results. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Employment Agreement

 

On April 20, 2011, we entered into a five-year employment agreement, with Mr. McLaughlin as our President and Chief Executive Officer, which was amended on October 12, 2012, under which he will be compensated at $134,400 per annum. As of June 30, 2012, all prior compensation due to Mr. McLaughlin has been satisfied either through cash payments or stock issuances. In addition to his base salary, Mr. McLaughlin will earn an annual incentive bonus award consisting of 5% of our pre-tax earnings payable each semi-annual fiscal year. We also granted to Mr. McLaughlin under his employment agreement, as amended, 10-year, fully-vested options to purchase an aggregate of 3.3 million shares of our common stock, such options consisting of the right to purchase: (i) 1.7 million shares of our common stock at $0.20 per share; (ii) 0.5 million shares of our common stock at $0.40 per share; (iii) 0.5 million shares of our common stock at $0.40 per share upon our achieving $5 million in revenues in any fiscal year prior to the expiration date; and (iv) 0.5 million shares of our common stock at $0.80 per share upon our achieving $10 million in revenues in any fiscal year prior to the expiration date. If at any time prior to the expiration date of the options we merge into or are acquired by another company, any outstanding options granted under Mr. McLaughlin’s employment agreement will become immediately exercisable on the business day immediately preceding the merger or acquisition at $0.40 per share or the preceding average 30-day market price of our common stock prior to the announcement of such merger or acquisition, whichever price is lower.

 

Prior to our entering into this employment agreement, we compensated Mr. McLaughlin for his services as our President at $10,000 per month. From time to time he voluntarily deferred this compensation without interest.

 

Our employment agreement with Mr. McLaughlin contains provisions prohibiting competition by him following his employment with us. Mr. McLaughlin’s employment agreement specifies the conditions under which the agreement may be terminated and stipulates that he shall not be entitled to severance payments upon termination. Mr. McLaughlin is entitled to retain any options granted under his employment agreement and that remain outstanding at the time his employment agreement is terminated, however. We do not have any other existing arrangements providing for payments or benefits in connection with the resignation, severance, retirement or other termination of Mr. McLaughlin, or a change in control of the company or a change in his responsibilities following a change in control. We currently do not have any defined pension plan for Mr. McLaughlin. We currently do not have any nonqualified defined contribution or other plan that provides for the deferral of compensation for Mr. McLaughlin nor do we currently intend to establish any such plan.

The Board of Directors may determine remuneration to be paid to the directors with interested members refraining from voting. Our independent directors each have entered into two-year director’s agreements with us, pursuant to which they will receive annual cash compensation of an amount to be negotiated and agreed upon when we have the financial wherewithal to pay such compensation for their service.

We do not maintain a medical, dental or retirement benefits plan specifically for our directors, but all directors are eligible to participate in our employee group health and dental insurance plans.

 

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

In addition to the executive officer and director compensation arrangements discussed in “Executive Compensation” beginning on page 31, the following describes transactions since January 1, 2009, to which we have been a participant, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets at year end and in which any of our directors, executive officer or holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any immediate family member of, or person sharing the household with, any of these individuals, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

 

Royalty Agreement

 

We are subject to a royalty agreement, pursuant to which we are required to pay a monthly royalty of 8% on all sales of certain skin care products up to $227,175. We entered into the royalty agreement to settle a suit between Mr. McLaughlin and us, over disputed patent and licensing arrangements. Mr. McLaughlin, our President, has a 60% interest in the royalties paid under the agreement, or $136,305, and Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld L.L.P., Mr. McLaughlin’s counsel in the matter, is entitled to the remaining 40% interest. Royalties earned and expensed in each of 2009, 2010, 2011 were approximately $24,000 per year and $35,000 during the first three quarters of 2012. We made a royalty payment of approximately $16,061 on August 13, 2012. As of January 1, 2013, the remaining commitment under the royalty agreement is approximately $120,000. Mr. McLaughlin and Akin, Gump customarily defer without interest payments due under the royalty agreement until we have the financial wherewithal to pay such royalties.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling shareholders identified in this prospectus may offer and sell up to 1,828,212 shares of our common stock, which we issued them. The selling shareholders may sell all or a portion of their shares of our common stock through public or private transactions at prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices.

 

All of the shares of our common stock were issued previously in private transactions completed prior to the filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

 

41
 

 

The selling shareholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of our common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of our common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling shareholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of our common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions:

 

  · On any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the shares may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
  · In the over-the-counter markets;
  · In transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter markets;
  · Through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
  · Ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
  · Block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
  · Purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
  · An exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
  · Privately negotiated transactions;
  · Short sales;
  · Sales pursuant to Rule 144;
  · Broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
  · A combination of any such methods of sale; and
  · Any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

If the selling shareholders effect such transactions by selling shares of our common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of our common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of our common stock or otherwise, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of our common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling shareholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling shareholders may also loan or pledge shares of our common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

 

The selling shareholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of our common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending, if necessary, the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus. The selling shareholders also may transfer and donate the shares of our common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

The selling shareholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of our common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of our common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed that will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of our common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling shareholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.

 

42
 

 

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of our common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of our common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

 

There can be no assurance that any selling shareholder will sell any or all of the shares of our common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

 

The selling shareholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of our common stock by the selling shareholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of our common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of our common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of our common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of our common stock.

 

We have agreed to pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus including, without limitation, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that a selling shareholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We may be indemnified by the selling shareholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling shareholders specifically for use in this prospectus, or we may be entitled to contribution.

 

Once sold under the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, the shares of our common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

 

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

The following discussion is a summary of the terms of our capital stock, our amended certificate of incorporation and our bylaws, as well as certain applicable provisions of Delaware law. Forms of our amended certificate of incorporation and bylaws have been incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

 

Common Stock

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. On February 1, 2001, we increased the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 25,000,000 to 50,000,000 shares, par value $0.01 per share. We have no other authorized class of capital stock. As of October 17, 2012, there were issued and outstanding (a) 28,875,317 shares of our common stock; (b) options to purchase 14,927,500 shares of our common stock, of which (i) options to purchase 8,952,500 shares of our common stock were exercisable at prices ranging from $0.07 to $0.40 per share and (ii) options to purchase 4,775,000 shares of our common stock become exercisable at prices of $0.40 and $0.80 upon our revenues exceeding $5 million and $10 million, respectively; and (c) warrants to purchase 3,630,112 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $0.15 to $0.40 per share. The warrants are immediately exercisable and entitle their holders to purchase up to: (i) 1,715,000 shares of our common stock at $0.15 per share, such warrants expiring in 2012 and 2013; and (ii) 2,030,112 shares of our common stock at $0.40 per share, such warrants expiring in 2015.

 

All shares of our common stock outstanding to 327 holders of record are fully paid and non-assessable. The number of record holders of our common stock does not include beneficial owners of our common stock whose shares are held in the names of banks, brokers, nominees or other fiduciaries. Holders of our common stock are entitled to the following rights:

 

43
 

 

Voting Rights

 

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. The affirmative vote of a plurality of shares of our common stock present in person or by proxy will decide the election of any directors. Holders of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

 

Dividend Rights

 

Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably any dividend declared by our Board of Directors.

 

Rights upon Liquidation

 

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company, holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in the assets remaining after payment of liabilities in accordance with their respective rights and interest.

 

Other Rights and Preferences

 

Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, conversion or redemption rights.

 

Listing

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets-OTC Pink Current under the symbol “IMMD.”

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Computershare Limited, 250 Royall St., Canton, MA 02021; telephone (781) 575-2000.

 

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

 

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover statute that provides that if a person acquires 15% or more of the voting stock of a Delaware corporation, such person becomes an “interested shareholder” and may not engage in certain “business combinations” with the corporation for a period of three years from the time such person acquired 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock, unless (1) the board of directors approves the acquisition of stock or the merger transaction before the time that the person becomes an interested shareholder, (2) the interested shareholder owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at the time the merger transaction commences (excluding voting stock owned by directors who are also officers and certain employee stock plans) or (3) the merger transaction is approved by the board of directors and by the affirmative vote at a meeting, not by written consent, of shareholders of two-thirds of the holders of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested shareholder. The applicability of this provision to us is expected to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by our Board of Directors, including discouraging attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for your shares.

 

Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Our Amended Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

Our amended certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may make the acquisition of our company more difficult without the approval of our Board of Directors. These include provisions that:

 

  · provide that our Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal our bylaws;
  · provide our Board of Directors with the sole power to set the size of our Board of Directors and fill vacancies; and
  · provide that special meetings of shareholders may be called only by our Board of Directors, Chairman of the Board of Directors, upon written notice of demand by our President or upon written notice of demand by the holders of at least 25% of the shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

 

44
 

 

These provisions may make it more difficult for shareholders to take specific corporate actions and could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company.

 

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

Upon completion of this offering, we will have 28,875,317 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, representing approximately 58% of the 50,000,000 authorized shares of our common stock, par value $0.01. The number of shares of our common stock outstanding after this offering is based on 28,875,317 shares of our common stock outstanding as of October 17, 2012, which excludes 12,582,612 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants and options outstanding. All of the 1,828,212, shares of our common stock sold pursuant to this offering will be freely transferable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock. Our common stock currently is not eligible for trading on any national securities exchange, and is quoted on the OTC Markets-OTC Pink Current and trades in the over-counter-markets. The market for our common stock historically has been limited and we cannot assure you that a larger market will ever be developed or maintained.

 

We are not aware of any plans by any significant shareholder to dispose of significant numbers of shares of our common stock. We cannot assure you, however, that one or more existing shareholders will not dispose of significant numbers of shares of our common stock. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of our common stock, or the availability of our common stock for future sale, will have on the market price of our common stock prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that future sales may occur, could materially and adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock.

 

Rule 144

 

In general, under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, an affiliate who beneficially owns shares that were purchased from us, or any affiliate, at least six months previously, is entitled to sell within any 3-month period beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of our then-outstanding shares of common stock, which equals approximately 30,264 shares immediately after this offering, or the average weekly trading volume of our common stock on the OTC Markets-OTC Pink Current during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice of the sale with the SEC. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us.

 

Following this offering, a person that is not an affiliate of ours at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least six months, may sell shares subject only to the availability of current public information about us, and any such person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least one year may sell shares without restriction.

 

We are unable to estimate the number of shares that will be sold under Rule 144 because this will depend on the market price for our common stock, the personal circumstances of the shareholder and other factors.

 

Rule 701

 

In general, under Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act, any of our employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors who purchased shares from us in connection with a compensatory stock or option plan or other written agreement before the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is entitled to resell such shares 90 days after such effective date in reliance on Rule 144 without having to comply with the holding period requirements or other restrictions contained in Rule 701.

 

Securities issued in reliance on Rule 701 are restricted securities and, subject to the contractual restrictions described above, beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, may be sold by persons other than affiliates, as defined in Rule 144, subject only to the manner of sale provisions of Rule 144 and by affiliates under Rule 144 without compliance with its one-year minimum holding period requirement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Board of Directors

Immudyne, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Immudyne, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Immudyne, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

IMMUDYNE, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1 - Organization

 

Immudyne, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation established to develop, manufacture and sell natural products. The Company has developed a proprietary approach to produce the purest, particulate and soluble beta glucans derived from yeast. The Company’s core nutraceutical and cosmetic product lines consist of its pure yeast beta glucans in oral and topical applications to support the immune system. The Company concentrates its sales and marketing efforts on healthcare professionals, distributors for its all-natural raw material ingredient products and direct-to-consumer sales.

 

The Company has funded operations in the past through the sales of its products, issuance of common stock and through loans and advances from officers and directors. The Company’s continued operations are dependent upon obtaining an increase in its sales volume and the continued financial support from officers and directors or the issuance of additional shares of common stock.

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

The accompanying balance sheet as of September 30, 2012, the statements of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, and the statement of stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such information includes all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of this interim information when read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes hereto. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012, or for any other period.

 

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

 

The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Some of the more significant estimates required to be made by management include the valuation of stockholders’ equity based transactions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Inventory

 

At September 30, 2012, inventory consisted primarily of nutraceutical and cosmetic products. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, inventory also included animal feed product, a product line the Company began exiting in 2011. Inventory is maintained in the Company’s warehouse as well as in other locations held both by independent third parties and related parties.

 

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. Management compares the cost of inventory with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down inventory to market value, if lower. Inventory consists of the following:

 

   September 30     
   2012   December 31 
   (Unaudited)   2011   2010 
             
Raw materials  $10,989   $37,720   $77,000 
Finished products   25,955    21,080    28,000 
   $36,944   $58,800   $105,000 

 

F-7
 

 

Included in inventory at December 31, 2011 and 2010 is $10,661 and $62,645 respectively, for products related to animal feed.

 

Furnishings and equipment

 

Furnishings and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to ten years.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company’s policy is to record revenue as earned when a firm commitment, indicating sales quantity and price exists, delivery has taken place and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company generally records sales once the product is shipped to the customer. If applicable, provisions for discounts, returns, allowances, customer rebates and other adjustments are netted with gross sales. The Company accounts for such provisions during the same period in which the related revenues are earned. Customer discounts, returns and rebates have not been significant.

 

Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer. Sales to international distributors are recognized in the same manner. If title does not pass until the product reaches the customer’s delivery site, then recognition of revenue is deferred until that time. There are no formal sales incentives offered to any of the Company’s customers. Volume discounts may be offered from time to time to customers purchasing large quantities on a per transaction basis. There are no special post shipment obligations or acceptance provisions that exist with any sales arrangements

 

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, are summarized as follows:

 

   2012         
   (Unaudited)   2011   2010 
             
Animal feed  $5,690   $148,507   $794,194 
Nutraceutical and cosmetic   552,528    595,321    477,781 
Total  $558,218   $743,828   $1,271,975 

 

Customer signing fees represent fees received from a customer to perform a concept review on a product. These fees are recorded as revenue when the concept review is complete and when no future obligation exists. If the Company has future obligations in regards to a customer signing fee, the revenue is deferred until the future obligation has been satisfied.

 

Segments

 

The guidance for disclosures about segments of an enterprise requires that a public business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its operating segments. Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the basis used internally for evaluating segment performance and resource allocation. The Company manages its operations as a single segment for purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. Revenue is generated predominately in the United States, and all significant assets are held in the United States.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company records current and deferred taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This ASC requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between tax basis of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, based upon the enacted rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company periodically assesses the value of its deferred tax asset, a majority of which has been generated by a history of net operating losses and determines the necessity for a valuation allowance.

 

F-8
 

 

ASC 740 also provides a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Using this guidance, a company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position in its financial statements only if it is more likely-than-not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50%) that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.

 

The Company’s tax returns for all years since December 31, 2009, remain open to most taxing authorities.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, “Share-Based Payment”. Under this guidance compensation cost generally is recognized at fair value on the date of the grant and amortized over the respective vesting periods. The fair value of options at the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected option life is derived from assumed exercise rates based upon historical exercise patterns and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our shares using weekly price observations over an observation period that approximates the expected life of the options. The risk-free rate approximates the U.S. Treasury yield curve rate in effect at the time of grant for periods similar to the expected option life. The estimated forfeiture rate included in the option valuation was zero.

 

Many of the assumptions require significant judgment and any changes could have a material impact in the determination of stock-based compensation expense.

 

Earnings (loss) per share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period presented. Warrants and options to purchase common stock are included as common stock equivalents only when dilutive. Potential common stock equivalents are excluded from dilutive earnings per share when the effects would be antidilutive.

 

Common stock equivalents comprising 13,692,720, 11,057,500 and 13,432,323 shares underlying options and warrants at September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, have not been included in the loss per share calculation as the effects are anti-dilutive.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC Topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value for all periods. The fair value of notes payable at December 31, 2011 and 2010, is an approximation of their fair value as all such notes were either repaid or converted to equity in 2012.

 

F-9
 

 

Concentration of credit risk

 

The Company grants credit in the normal course of business to its customers. The Company periodically performs credit analysis and monitors the financial condition of its customers to reduce credit risk.

 

The Company monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests. The Company, at times, maintains balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits.

 

For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, one customer comprised 77% and 58% of sales, respectively. This customer accounted for 53% and 23% of sales for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. At September 30, 2012, this customer accounted for 97% of accounts receivable, and at December 31, 2011 and 2010, this customer accounted for 85% and 86% of accounts receivable, respectively.

 

Note 3 - Furnishings and equipment

 

Furnishings and equipment consisted of the following:

 

   September 30     
   2012   December 31 
   (Unaudited)   2011   2010 
             
Furnishings and equipment, at cost  $679,291   $679,291   $679,291 
Accumulated depreciation   507,064    464,620    407,931 
   $172,227   $214,671   $271,360 

 

Depreciation expense amounted to approximately $42,000 for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Depreciation expense amounted to approximately $56,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

Note 4 - Notes payable

 

Notes payable are due to officers, directors and other related individuals. Certain notes are payable on demand while repayment of others is based on scheduled monthly payments. Interest rates vary from 0% to 10%. A summary of notes payable activity is as follows:

 

Balance at December 31, 2009  $605,490 
Borrowing   90,474 
Repayment   (118,480)
      
Balance at December 31, 2010   577,484 
Borrowing   75,000 
Repayment   (176,312)
Notes payable used to exercise options and warrants   (214,000)
      
Balance at December 31, 2011   262,172 
Repayment   (50,729)
Issuance of common stock for notes payable   (193,943)
Notes payable used to exercise options   (17,500)
      
Balance at September 30, 2012  $- 

 

Interest expense on notes payable amounted to $3,371 and $17,996 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $21,262 and $35,073 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

F-10
 

 

Note 5 - Income taxes

 

The Company incurred a loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, and years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax has been made in the accompanying financial statements. At December 31, 2011, the Company had available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2,500,000, expiring during various years through 2031.

 

A summary of the deferred tax asset using an approximate 34% tax rate is as follows:

 

   September 30     
   2012   December 31 
   (Unaudited)   2011   2010 
             
Net operating loss  $970,000   $870,000   $850,000 
Valuation allowance   (970,000)   (870,000)   (850,000)
Total  $-   $-   $- 

 

The net operating loss carryforwards could be subject to limitation in any given year in the event of a change in ownership as defined by IRC Section 382.

 

The deferred tax liability of $51,900, $64,800 and $82,000 at September 30, 2012, December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, results from the difference in the carrying amount of furnishings and equipment between financial reporting and income tax reporting.

 

The deferred tax benefit included in the statement of operations represents the change in the deferred tax liability at each balance sheet date.

 

The difference between the statutory and the effective tax rate is primarily due to a change in valuation allowance on deferred taxes, as the Company has fully reserved the deferred tax asset resulting from available net operating loss carryforwards.

 

Note 6 - Stockholders’ equity

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company raised $313,383 in a common stock offering at $0.17 per share. In addition, $293,943 of notes and other payables were converted into common stock under the same terms as the common stock offering. Each two shares of common stock issued included a three-year warrant for one share exercisable at $0.40. The Company raised an additional $32,500 and satisfied notes payable in the amount of $17,500 through the exercise of 500,000 options. The Company issued 700,000 common shares for services valued at $119,000.

 

During 2012, the Company extended the expiration date of 1,000,000 options and 1,500,000 warrants one year from 2012 to 2013, and issued an additional 1,400,000 options as discussed below. As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded a charge to stock-based compensation expense of $71,500 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

 

During 2011, the Company raised $193,500 through the issuance of 923,994 shares of common stock, and retired 1,136,842 of common stock. In addition, $214,000 of notes payable were satisfied through the exercise of 740,000 warrants and 1,500,000 options. Also during 2011, the Company issued 375,000 shares to an advisor and consultant and further issued 2,273,684 shares of common stock for the cashless exercise of 2,400,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.01.

 

During 2011, the Company extended the expiration date of 1,500,000 options and 1,500,000 warrants one year from 2011 to 2012. The Company computed the fair value of this extension agreement and determined that such amount was not material.

 

During 2010, the Company raised $34,000 through the issuance of 200,000 shares of common stock at $0.17 per share. In addition, 60,000 shares were retired during 2010. The Company issued 50,000 common shares in 2010 for consulting services valued at $8,500.

 

F-11
 

 

Service-based stock options

 

During 2010, the Company issued 150,000 options to consultants with an exercise price of $0.20. The options vested immediately and expire in 10 years.

 

During 2011, the Company issued 6,260,000 service-based options to various employees and consultants. The options, which vested immediately, were issued at exercise prices of $0.20 and $0.40 and expire in 10 years.

 

During 2012, the Company issued 1,200,000 options to three consultants at an exercise price of $0.20 per share that expire in 10 years. Of these options, 200,000 vest immediately and 1,000,000 vest fully in June 2013. Additionally, during June 2012 the Company also issued 200,000 options to employees with an exercise price of $0.20. These options expire in 10 years and vest semi-annually over 2 years.

 

A summary of the outstanding service-based stock options are as follows:

All outstanding options have a cashless exercise provision, and certain options provide for accelerated vesting provisions and modifications, as defined, if the Company is sold or acquired.

 

The intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable amounted to $163,300 and $114,450 at December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2012, respectively. The intrinsic value of options exercised in 2011 and 2012 amounted to $115,000 and $35,000, respectively.

Legal matters

 

In the normal course of business operations the Company may become involved in various legal matters. At September 30, 2012, the Company’s management does not believe that there are any potential legal matters that could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

 

In November 2009, the Company entered into a settlement agreement to resolve all aspects of litigation relating to a patent suit.

The Company also was awarded $200,000 in eight installments of $25,000 every six months beginning on January 15, 2011, in return for an exclusive patent license. The term of the license agreement is consistent with the term of the $25,000 semiannual payments. The $25,000 installments are being recorded as revenue only upon receipt of the funds. As of September 30, 2012, $100,000 remained to be paid to the Company under this agreement.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Our amended certificate of incorporation provides that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, no director shall be personally liable to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as director.

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent to the corporation. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Our bylaws provide for indemnification by us of our directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be provided for directors, officers, employees, agents or persons controlling an issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the opinion of the SEC is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification by such director, officer or controlling person of us in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being offered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

No pending material litigation or proceeding involving our directors, executive officers, employees or other agents as to which indemnification is being sought exists, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any of our directors or executive officers.

Item 17. Undertakings

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)         To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i)To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii)To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;

 

(iii)To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

   

(2)         That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3)         To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4)         That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5)         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
