This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) regarding our company that include, but are not limited to, projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items; statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; statements concerning proposed new products, services or developments; statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; statements of belief; and statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by us. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,” “potential,” “believes,” “seeks,” “hopes,” “estimates,” “should,” “may,” “will,” “with a view to” and variations of these words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that our expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may later be found to be incorrect. Our actual results could be materially different from our expectations. Important risks and factors that could cause our actual results to be materially different from our expectations are set forth in “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Our Business” and other sections in this report. Other sections of this report include additional factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance.

 

Unless otherwise indicated, information in this report concerning economic conditions and our industry is based on information from independent industry analysts and publications, as well as our estimates. Except where otherwise noted, our estimates are derived from publicly available information released by third party sources, as well as data from our internal research, and are based on such data and our knowledge of our industry, which we believe to be reasonable. Unless otherwise indicated, none of the independent industry publication market data cited in this report was prepared on our or our affiliates’ behalf.

 

The forward-looking statements made in this report are based only on events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should read this report and the documents we refer to in this report and have filed as exhibits to this report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

 

Additional information on the various risks and uncertainties potentially affecting our operating results are discussed in this report and other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

1. Organization and Going Concern

 

Immudyne, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation established to develop, manufacture and sell natural immune support products containing the Company’s proprietary yeast beta glucans, a group of beta glucans naturally occurring in the cell walls of yeast that have been shown through testing and analysis to support the immune system. The Company’s products include once a day oral intake tablets and topical creams and gels for skin application. 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.

 

In 2015, the Company formed a joint venture domiciled in Puerto Rico, Innate Skincare, LLC (“Innate”). Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, the Company held a 33.3% equity interest, and a 51% controlling voting interest, in Innate. On January 20, 2016, Innate amended its limited liability company operating agreement and changed its legal name to Immudyne PR LLC (“Immudyne PR”). On April 1, 2016, Immudyne PR further amended its operating agreement and restated the Company’s ownership and voting interest in Immudyne PR increasing its ownership to 78.1667% resulting in a charge to noncontrolling interest and additional paid-in-capital of $91,612. Immudyne PR was formed to launch a complete skin care regime formulated using strategic ingredients provided by the Company. In the second quarter of 2017, Immudyne PR expanded their product line and launched their in-licensed patented hair loss shampoo and conditioner.

 

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.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At June 30, 2017, the Company has an accumulated deficit approximating $10.0 million and has incurred negative cash flows from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Based on the Company's cash balance at June 30, 2017, and projected cash needs for 2017, management estimates that it will need to increase sales revenue and/or raise additional capital to cover operating and capital requirements for the remainder of the 2017 year. Management will need to raise the additional needed funds through increased sales volume, issuing additional shares of common stock or other equity securities, or obtaining debt financing. Although management has been successful to date in raising necessary funding, there can be no assurance that sales revenue will substantially increase or that any required future financing can be successfully completed on a timely basis, or on terms acceptable to the Company.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company evaluates the need to consolidate affiliates based on standards set forth in Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 810 Consolidation.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiary, Immudyne PR and variable interest entities (VIE’s) in which the Company has been determined to be the primary beneficiary. The non-controlling interest in Immudyne PR represents the 21.8333% equity interest held by other members of the joint venture. All significant consolidated transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

The Company follows ASC 810-10-15 guidance with respect to accounting for VIE’s. These entities do not have sufficient equity at risk to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or whose equity investors lack any of the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of a VIE’s expected losses or receive portions of its expected residual returns and are contractual, ownership, or pecuniary in nature and that change with changes in the fair value of the entity’s net assets. A reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and must consolidate it when that party has a variable interest, or combination of variable interests, that provides it with a controlling financial interest. A party is deemed to have a controlling financial interest if it meets both of the power and losses/benefits criteria. The power criterion is the ability to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance. The losses/benefits criterion is the obligation to absorb losses from, or right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The VIE model requires an ongoing reconsideration of whether a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE due to changes in facts and circumstances.

 

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company consolidated nine VIEs.

 

Immudyne PR as the primary beneficiary of Ace Account Management LLC, Innerwell Skincare LLC, MCD Merchants LLC, One Equity Research LLC, Inate Gems LLC, Retriever Health Products LLC, Spurs 5, LLC, Salus LLC and Huntley LLC which are qualified as VIEs. The assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses of these VIEs are included in the financial statements of Immudyne PR and further included in the consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2017, the VIEs had assets of $12,051, liabilities of $18,481, revenues of $1,507, and operating expenses of $1,519. As of December 31, 2016, the VIEs had assets of $10,306, liabilities of $5,748. The assets and liabilities include balances due from and due to the subsidiaries of Immudyne PR. Any inter-company receivables and payables are eliminated upon consolidation of the VIEs with Immudyne PR and Immudyne, Inc. No assets were pledged or given as collateral against any borrowings.

 

The Company utilizes third party entities to provide and increase credit card processing capacity and optimize corresponding rates and fees. A majority of these entities provide this service as independent contractors in exchange for a one percent (1%) fee of the net revenues processed and collected by such contractors from sales initiated by the Company. The VIEs consolidated in the Company’s financial statements are primarily contracted to provide credit card processing through one or more merchant banks. Upon receipt of funds by each VIE, the collection of receipts less any returns, chargebacks and other fees charged by such merchant bank is transferred to Immudyne PR.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Use of Estimates

 

The Company prepares its consolidated 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 determination of reserves for accounts receivable, returns and allowances, the accounting for derivatives, the valuation of inventory and stockholders’ equity based transactions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Derivative Liabilities  

 

Under ASC 815-40-05, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock, in the event the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares of common stock to satisfy obligations for stock options, warrants and other instruments potentially convertible into common stock, the fair value of these instruments should be reported as a derivative liability. Pursuant to the outstanding option, warrant and convertible debt agreements, there is currently no effective registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying these agreements, which are currently subject to a cashless exercise whereby the holders, at their option, may surrender their options and warrants to the company in exchange for shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock into which an option or a warrant would be exchangeable in such a cashless exercise depends on both the exercise price of the options or warrant and the market price of the common stock, each at or near the time of exercise. Because both of these factors are variable, it is possible that the Company could have insufficient authorized shares to satisfy a cashless exercise. In this scenario, if the Company were unable to obtain shareholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares, the Company could be obligated to settle such a cashless exercise with cash rather than by issuing shares of common stock. Further, ASC 815-40-05 requires that the Company record the potential settlement obligation at each reporting date using the current estimated fair value of these contracts, with any changes in fair value being recorded through our statement of operations. The Company will continue to report the potential settlement obligation as a derivative liability until such time as these contracts are exercised or expire or we are otherwise able to modify the warrant agreements to remove the provisions which require this treatment. The Company also plans to amend its Articles of Incorporation in the third quarter of 2017 to increase the number of shares of its authorized common stock after the approval by its shareholders.

 

Sequencing Policy

 

Under ASC 815-40-35, the Company has adopted a sequencing policy whereby, in the event that reclassification of contracts from equity to assets or liabilities is necessary pursuant to ASC 815 due to the Company’s inability to demonstrate it has sufficient authorized shares, shares will be allocated on the basis of the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive instruments, with the earliest grants receiving the first allocation of authorized but unissued shares, and all future instruments being classified as a derivative liability, with the exception of instruments related to share-based compensation issued to employees or directors. 

 

Inventory 

 

At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, inventory consisted primarily of cosmetic and nutraceutical additives, and finished cosmetic products. Inventory is maintained in the Company’s leased Kentucky warehouse and third party warehouses in Pennsylvania and Louisiana.

 

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. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company recorded an inventory reserve in the amount of $20,000. Inventory consists of the following:

 

      June 30,
2017
    December 31,
2016
 
               
  Raw materials   $ 31,752     $ 38,460  
  Finished products     95,696       121,810  
      $ 127,448     $ 160,270

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 of nutraceutical and cosmetic additives once the product is shipped to the customer, and for sales of finished cosmetic products once the customer places the order and the product is simultaneously shipped, but in limited cases if title does not pass until the product reaches the customer’s delivery site, then recognition of revenue is deferred until that time. Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer. 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 approximated $50,000 and $1,050,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Customer discounts, returns and rebates approximated $12,000 and $620,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 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.

 

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 consisted of nutraceutical and cosmetic additives ($703,893) and finished cosmetic products ($827,987). Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016 consists of nutraceutical and cosmetic additives ($528,220) and finished cosmetic products ($2,340,055).

 

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2017 consisted of nutraceutical and cosmetic additives ($447,330) and finished cosmetic products ($660,088). Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 consists of nutraceutical and cosmetic additives ($262,310) and finished cosmetic products ($964,937).

 

Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for holdbacks and doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions and sets up an allowance for doubtful accounts when collection is uncertain. Customers’ accounts are written off when all attempts to collect have been exhausted. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 the accounts receivable reserve was approximately $37,800 for both periods. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the reserve for sales returns and allowances was approximately $6,000 and $50,500, respectively.

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 in two reportable segments 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, or United States territories.

 

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company allocates resources and evaluates the performance of segments based on income or loss from operations, excluding interest, corporate expenses and other income (expenses).

 

A summary of the company’s reportable segments is as follows:

 

  Total assets:   June 30,

Income Taxes

 

The Company files Corporate Federal and State tax returns, while Immudyne PR, which was formed as a limited liability corporation, files a separate tax return with any tax liabilities or benefits passing through to its members.

 

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. 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, 2013, remain open to 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 the Company’s 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. Due to limited history of forfeitures, 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. The diluted earnings per share computation includes the effect, if any, of shares that would be issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, warrants, derivative liability and convertible debt, reduced by the number of shares which are assumed to be purchased by the Company from the resulting proceeds at the average market price during the period, when such amounts are dilutive to the earnings per share calculation.

 

The weighted average number of common stock equivalents not included in diluted income per share, because the effects are anti-dilutive, was 5,145,693 for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Common stock equivalents comprising shares underlying 11,550,273 options and warrants for the six months ended June 30, 2017 have not been included in the loss per share calculation as the effects are anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents comprising shares underlying 12,700,273 options and warrants for the six months ended June 30, 2016 have not been included in the loss per share calculations as the effects are anti-dilutive.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements  

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. The new standard provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 but early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversity in practice regarding how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented in the statement of cash flows. The standard provides guidance on the classification of the following items: (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, (6) distributions received from equity method investments, (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (8) separately identifiable cash flows. The Company is required to adopt ASU 2016-15 for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2016-15.

 

In February 2016, a pronouncement was issued that creates new accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements. At this time, the adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued accounting guidance, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." The core principle of the new standard is for companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (that is, payment) to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also will result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively (for example, service revenue and contract modifications) and clarify guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The standard will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. Accordingly, the Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

All other 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 consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

Noncontrolling Interests

 

The Company accounts for its less than 100% interest in Immudyne PR in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, and accordingly the Company presents noncontrolling interests as a component of equity on its consolidated balance sheet and reports the noncontrolling interest’s share of the Immudyne PR net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statement of operations.

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.

 

One customer in the nutraceutical and cosmetic additives division accounted for 35% and 17% of consolidated sales for the three month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This customer accounted for 42% and 16% of consolidated sales for the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This customer also accounted for 60% and 11% of the consolidated accounts receivable at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

In the finished cosmetic products division, one credit card processor accounted for 20% of the consolidated accounts receivable at June 30, 2017. In the finished cosmetic products division, two credit card processors accounted for 35% and 32% of the consolidated accounts receivable at December 31, 2016.

 

3. Notes Payable

Interest expense related to this loan for the period ended March 31, 2016 amounted to $3,063. In October 2016, the Company repaid the entire principal balance.

 

In the third quarter of 2016 the Company commenced an offering pursuant to which it offered 11% subordinated promissory notes in fifty thousand ($50,000) dollar increments combined with 62,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for a maximum offering amount of $200,000 (the “Offering”). In August and September 2016, the Company sold promissory notes totaling $150,000 to three unrelated individuals.

In October 2016, the Company sold promissory notes totaling $50,000 to two unrelated individuals. These promissory notes are payable in October 2017. In connection with these promissory notes sold, pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued 250,000 shares of common stock valued at $58,750 which was recorded as a debt discount and will be amortized over the term of these notes. Amortization of the debt discounts for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $25,035. There was no amortization of debt discount during the second quarter of 2017. During 2016, the Company repaid $68,600 of the principal balance. Interest expense related to these notes for the six months ended June 30, 2017 amounted to $131,117. During 2017, the Company repaid $81,420 of the principal balance and converted the remaining balance of $49,980 into 196,000 shares of common stock and 98,000 warrants, which satisfied the note in full. The fair market value of the shares and warrants issued upon conversion was determined to be $179,384, of which $129,404 was included in interest expense as loss on settlement of notes payable.

In December 2016, the Company borrowed $100,000 from an officer and issued a convertible promissory note with a maturity date of February 28, 2017. The loan incurs no interest. This note is convertible if not repaid by the maturity date at a conversion price of $0.23 per Unit. Each Unit shall consist of one share of the Company’s common stock and one three-year common-stock warrant to purchase one-half of one share of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.40 per share. In March 2017, the Company repaid the entire outstanding balance of this note.

 

In January 2017, the Company borrowed $200,000 and issued a promissory note with a 5% original issue discount for a total principal amount of $210,000. The loan incurred 11% interest per annum and matured in various tranches from February 2017 through April 2017. In addition, the Company issued 217,391 shares of common stock related to this note.

In February 2017, the Company borrowed $25,000 from an American Express working capital line with 60 days maturity. The interest for this loan is a flat fee of $250. On April 17, 2017, the Company repaid this loan. In June 2017, the Company borrowed $74,043 from an American Express working capital line with 90 days maturity. The interest for this loan is a flat fee of $1,111. As of June 30, 2017, there were $66,000 available borrowings under the working capital line.

 

Interest expense related to loans from officers, directors and other related individuals amounted to $1,713 and $313 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. There was no interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 related to loans from officers, directors and other related individuals as there were no loans outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Total interest expense on notes payable amounted to $649,607 and $5,813 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Total interest expense amounted to $250 and $2,750 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

4. Income Taxes

 

The Company is not expected to have taxable income in 2017 and incurred a loss for the year ended December 31, 2016, and accordingly, no provision for federal income tax has been made in the accompanying financial statements. At June 30, 2017, the Company had available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $4,260,600, expiring during various years through 2037.

 

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

 

  Net operating loss   $ 1,449,000  
  Accounts receivable reserves     15,000  
  Inventory reserves     7,000  
  Stock compensation     291,000  
  Net deferred tax asset     1,762,000  
  Valuation allowance     (1,762,000 )
  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 difference between the statutory and the effective tax rate is primarily due to a change in valuation allowance on deferred taxes, as well as a permanent difference from the change in derivative liability. The Company has fully reserved the deferred tax asset resulting from available net operating loss carryforwards.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

We are a health and wellness company that develops, manufactures, and markets innovative consumer products. We manufacture and market a proprietary and patent protected Yeast Beta Glucan that has been shown in clinical studies to support and regulate the human immune system. It has broad applications in skincare and as an immune support supplement. Our majority owned subsidiary is our digital marketing arm and is currently focused on marketing patented products for thicker and fuller hair and a skincare line containing our proprietary Yeast Beta Glucan ingredient.

 

We have performance based contracts with our sales and marketing executives, which allows us to continue to maintain a relatively low overhead. Our priority is to pursue opportunities to market our products and increase sales. We expect that a significant component of our selling, general and administration expenses going forward will consist of equipment leasing costs relating to improving our operating efficiencies, as well as conducting new studies which could open new markets. These aforementioned costs, along with the additional costs resulting from our operations as a public reporting company, could adversely impact our future results of operations. Additional significant factors that we believe will affect our operating results going forward are: (i) protection of our intellectual property rights; (ii) imposition of more stringent government regulations of our products; and (iii) marketing expenses.

 

In the 2016 fiscal year, we utilized third party entities to provide and increase credit card processing capacity and optimize corresponding rates and fees through one or more merchant bank accounts held by such entities. A majority of these entities providing these services are consolidated as variable interest entities (“VIEs”) which received a one (1%) percent fee eliminated in consolidation of the net revenues processed and collected by such contractors from sales initiated by the Company. The remaining entities provided such services as independent contractors, the majority of which were considered related parties and no fee was paid. Upon receipt of funds by such contractors from their respective merchant banks, the Company required the prompt transfer of funds to Company controlled accounts. The Company reimbursed and/or advanced funds to such contractors for any deficit or charge related to returns, chargeback and other fees charged by such merchant bank. Some of the entities contracted to provide these services have been determined to be variable interest entities and consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.

 

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 favorable settlements. 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. In addition, 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, reduced growth prospects, lost sales from products that we are required to remove from the market and potential product liability litigation.

 

We have historically operated with limited capital and have funded operations in the past through the sales of our products and loans and advances from Mark McLaughlin, our President, and other directors, as well as from debt and equity financings. We plan on our operating business (in conjunction with proceeds from debt and equity financings completed in 2016 and early 2017) being able to fund our operations through 2017. However, if necessary, we may raise additional capital through a private placement of common stock, obtaining debt financing or from advances from our President and/or directors; however, no assurances can be made that we will be successful in our endeavors to raise additional capital. For additional information regarding these and other risks please see “Risk Factors” contained in our annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2017, compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016

 

The following table sets forth the results of our operations for the periods indicated as a percentage of net sales:

 

    2017     2016  
    $     % of Sales     $     % of Sales  
Net Sales     1,107,418               1,227,247

Net Income (loss) attributable to Immudyne, Inc.     737,489       67 %     (199,976 )     (16 )%

 

Overall sales for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were $1.11 million, a decrease of 10% from $1.23 million for the same period in 2016. We consider this decrease in sales to have been minimal on a year over year basis and believe that the considerable time and Company resources we invested into the launch of our in-licensed patented hair loss shampoo, conditioner, and leave in foam during the first quarter of 2017 positively impacted our overall sales numbers for the quarter and support our belief that such sales will be a meaningful contributor to our revenues during the remainder of the 2017 fiscal year. Sales in our additives segment increased between periods at $0.45 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $0.27 million for the same period in 2016, which we attribute to increased demand from our existing customers.

 

Cost of sales consists primarily of material costs, labor costs, marketing costs and related overhead directly attributable to the production of our products. Total cost of sales decreased 53% to $0.33 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $0.70 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease in our cost of sales was due to our focused shift to an internal marketing strategy which helped to reduce costs during the quarter from a year ago.

 

Gross profit increased 48% to $0.78 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $0.53 million for the same period in 2016. The increase in our gross profit was a result of the success of our in-licensed patented hair loss shampoo conditioner and leave-in foam, the increased demand for our additives and our shift to an internal marketing strategy, which decreased our overall cost of sales.

 

Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 70% in the second quarter of 2017 from 43% for the same period in 2016. Our increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales for the quarter was as a result of our shift to an internal marketing strategy and the change in the composition of our overall product sales.

Operating expenses consisted of general and administrative expense, compensation and related expense, marketing expenses and professional fees. Overall operating expenses increased 48% to $1.00 million in the second quarter of 2017 from $0.68 million for the same period in 2016. The increase in our operating expenses between the periods was attributable to our increased general and administrative expense which increased 337% to $0.35 million in the second quarter of 2017 from $0.08 million for the same period in 2016. Our increase in general and administrative expense was attributable to the shift to our internal marketing strategy, which also led to internal marketing expenses of $0.29 million for the second quarter of 2017. No such internal marketing expenses incurred during the same period in 2016. Compensation and related expense decreased 49% to $0.24 million in the second quarter of 2017 from $0.48 million for the same period in 2016. Professional fees decreased 3% to $0.12 million in the second quarter of 2017 and were in-line with our expectations.

 

Net income attributable to the Company in the second quarter of 2017 was approximately $0.74 million compared to net loss of $0.20 million for the same period in 2016. We consolidated the operations of our joint venture, Immudyne PR and reflected a non-controlling interest for 21.8333% of these operations. Net income attributable to the Company as a percentage of sales was 67% in the first quarter of 2017 compared to net loss as a percentage of sales of 16% for the same period in 2016. Our net income during the period was attributable to the decrease in the fair value of our derivative liability, which we incurred in the first quarter of 2017 due to our having insufficient authorized shares to satisfy outstanding derivative securities issued by the Company. We believe this derivative liability will no longer apply to us after we increase the number of our authorized shares, which we anticipate will occur during the third quarter of 2017.

  

Six Months Ended June 30, 2017, Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016

 

The following table sets forth the results of our operations for the periods indicated as a percentage of net sales:

 

    2017     2016  
    $     % of Sales     $     % of Sales  
Net Sales     1,531,880               2,868,275

Net (loss) attributable to Immudyne, Inc.     (307,316 )     (20 )%     (262,025 )     (9 )%

 

Overall sales for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $1.53 million, a decrease of 47% from $2.87 million for the same period in 2016. Our decrease in sales was due to the fact that we invested considerable time and Company resources into the preparation for the launch of our in-licensed patented hair loss shampoo, conditioner, and leave in foam during the first quarter of 2017. This new product line has been successful to date, having been a meaningful contributor to our revenues in the second quarter of 2017. In addition, the shift to our internal marketing strategy during the first quarter of 2017 impacted our overall sales numbers for our finished products segment during that quarter, which decreased to $0.17 million. Sales in our additives segment increased between periods however to $0.70 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $0.55 million for the same period in 2016 due to increased demand.

 

Cost of sales consists primarily of material costs, labor costs, marketing costs (in the 2016 period) and related overhead directly attributable to the production of our products. Total cost of sales decreased 74% to $0.53 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $2.04 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease in our cost of sales was due to the shift to our internal marketing strategy.

 

Gross profit increased 20% to $1.00 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $0.83 million for the same period in 2016. The increase in our gross profit was a result of the success of our in-licensed patented hair loss shampoo conditioner and leave-in foam, the increased demand for our additives and our shift to an internal marketing strategy, which decreased our overall cost of sales.

 

Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 65% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from 29% for the same period in 2016. Our increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales for the quarter was as a result of our shift to an internal marketing strategy and the change in the composition of our overall product sales.

Operating expenses consisted of general and administrative expense, compensation and related expense, marketing expenses and professional fees. Overall operating expenses increased 47% to $1.60 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $1.09 million for the same period in 2016. The increase in our operating expenses was attributable to our shift to an internal marketing strategy which resulted in an 168% increase in our general and administrative expense to $0.48 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $0.18 million for the same period in 2016. This shift was also the cause of the incurrence of internal marketing expenses of $0.30 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017. No such expenses were incurred during the comparable 2016 period. Compensation and related expense decreased 16% to $0.60 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $0.72 million for the same period in 2016. Professional fees increased 14% to $0.22 million in the first quarter of 2017 from approximately $0.19 million for the same period in 2016.

 

Net loss attributable to the Company in six months ended June 30, 2017, was approximately $0.31 million compared to net loss of $0.26 million for the same period in 2016. We consolidated the operations of our joint venture, Immudyne PR and reflected a non-controlling interest for 21.8333% of these operations. Net loss attributable to the Company as a percentage of sales was 20% in the first quarter of 2017 compared to net loss as a percentage of sales of 9% for the same period in 2016. Our net loss during the period was attributable to our increased operating expenses as we shifted to an internal marketing strategy and increased interest expense to service our debt incurred late in 2016 and early in 2017. We also experienced decreased sales during the first quarter of 2017 as we shifted company resources in efforts to launch our in-licensed patented hair loss shampoo, conditioner, and leave in foam, and to internal marketing strategies.

  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal demands for liquidity are to increase sales, purchase inventory and for sales distribution and general corporate purposes. We incurred negative operating cash flows to date in 2017 as well as in the 2016 and 2015 fiscal years. As a result, we have substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Late in the 2016 fiscal year and early in 2017, the Company issued several 11% subordinated promissory notes to accredited investors for total borrowings of $200,000. Additionally, the Company borrowed $200,000 at 11% from an investor and borrowed $100,000 from an officer of the Company. Each of these borrowings have since been satisfied in full with a combination of repayment in cash and conversion of certain amounts outstanding to equity of the Company.

 

The Company also has access to a working capital line provided American Express, guaranteed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, in the amount of $140,000 with a term of 60 to 90 days and interest at a flat fee of 1.5%. Additionally, in the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company issued and sold 2,927,156 shares and 1,414,078 warrants to accredited investors in an offering pursuant to Regulation D and received proceeds in the amount of $673,245. We plan on our operating business (in conjunction with proceeds from debt and equity financings completed in 2016 and early 2017) being able to fund operations through 2017. However, if necessary, we may raise additional capital through a private placement of common stock, obtaining debt financing or from advances from our President and/or directors; however, no assurances can be made that we will be successful in our endeavors to raise additional capital.

 

There can be no assurance that required future financing can be successfully completed on a timely basis, or on terms acceptable to us. Any future issuance of equity securities could cause dilution to our shareholders. Any incurrence of indebtedness would increase our debt service obligations and would cause us to be subject to restrictive operating and financial covenants.

 

We had negative net working capital of $(433,689) at June 30, 2017, resulting in an increase from negative net working capital of $(361,725) at December 31, 2016. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was .73 to 1 at June 30, 2017.

 

The following is a summary of cash provided by or used in each of the indicated types of activities during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016:

 

    2017     2016  
Cash provided by (used in):            
Operating activities   $ (512,569 )   $ (76,662 )
Financing activities     766,094       79,130  

 

Net cash used by operating activities was $0.51 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $0.08 million for the same period in 2016. The increase in the amount of cash used by our operating activities was due primarily to our overall net loss, product deposits and reduction of accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

Net cash flows provided by financing activities was $0.77 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to net cash flows provided by financing activities of $0.08 million for the same period in 2016. Our increase in net cash flows provided by financing activities was primarily a result of the sale of our common stock and warrants in the first quarter of 2017.

Indebtedness

 

From time to time, our directors, officers and other related individuals have made short-term advances to us for our operating needs. Late in the 2016 fiscal year and early in 2017, the Company issued several 11% subordinated promissory notes to accredited investors for total borrowings of $200,000, borrowed $200,000 at 11% from an investor and borrowed $100,000 from an officer of the Company. Each of these borrowings have since been satisfied in full with a combination of repayment in cash and conversion of certain amounts outstanding to equity of the Company. We also have access to a $140,000 working capital line through American Express, guaranteed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, at rates that are more favorable than those that Company has been able achieve previously.

 

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

 

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

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”), who is also our Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”), of the design and effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our PEO/PFO concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of the following material weaknesses in disclosure controls and procedures which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment as the Company had only one officer; (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC Guidelines; and (iii) inadequate security and restricted access to computer systems including insufficient disaster recovery plans; and (iv) no written whistleblower policy. If and when sufficient funds are available, our PEO/PFO plans to implement appropriate disclosure controls and procedures to remediate these material weaknesses, including (i) appointing additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting and a whistle blower policy; and (iii) implement sufficient security and restricted access measures regarding our computer systems and implement a disaster recovery plan.  

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. 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.

The Director agrees to promptly deliver notice to the Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company in writing of the existence of such opportunity or proposal, and the Director may take advantage of such opportunity only if the Company does not elect to exercise its right to take advantage of such opportunity and if the pursuit thereof would not otherwise violate any provision of this Agreement.

 

11. Right of Offset . To the extent permitted by applicable law, all amounts due and owing to Director hereunder shall be subject to offset by the Company to the extent of any damages incurred by Director’s breach of this Agreement.

12. Obligations of Director . The obligations of Director hereunder are personal and may not be transferred or delegated by Director.

 

13. Amendment and Waiver . This instrument contains the entire agreement of the Parties and supersedes and replaces any prior agreements between the Company or any affiliate and Director, which prior agreements (if any) are hereby terminated, effective as of the commencement date of this Agreement, by mutual agreement of the Parties. This Agreement may not be changed orally but only by written documents signed by the Party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification, extension or discharge is sought; however, the amount of compensation to be paid to Director for services to be performed for the Company hereunder may be changed from time to time by the Parties by written agreement without in any other way modifying, changing or affecting this Agreement or the performance by Director of any of the duties for the Company. Any such written agreement shall be, and shall be conclusively deemed to be, a ratification and confirmation of this Agreement, except as expressly set forth in such written amendment.

The Director agrees to promptly deliver notice to the Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company in writing of the existence of such opportunity or proposal, and the Director may take advantage of such opportunity only if the Company does not elect to exercise its right to take advantage of such opportunity and if the pursuit thereof would not otherwise violate any provision of this Agreement.

 

11. Right of Offset . To the extent permitted by applicable law, all amounts due and owing to Director hereunder shall be subject to offset by the Company to the extent of any damages incurred by Director's breach of this Agreement. Director acknowledges and agrees that but for the right of offset contained in this Agreement, the Company would not have hired Director nor entered into this Agreement.

 

12. Obligations of Director . The obligations of Director hereunder are personal and may not be transferred or delegated by Director.

 

13. Amendment and Waiver . This instrument contains the entire agreement of the Parties and supersedes and replaces any prior agreements between the Company or any affiliate and Director, which prior agreements (if any) are hereby terminated, effective as of the commencement date of this Agreement, by mutual agreement of the Parties. This Agreement may not be changed orally but only by written documents signed by the Party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification, extension or discharge is sought; however, the amount of compensation to be paid to Director for services to be performed for the Company hereunder may be changed from time to time by the Parties by written agreement without in any other way modifying, changing or affecting this Agreement or the performance by Director of any of the duties for the Company. Any such written agreement shall be, and shall be conclusively deemed to be, a ratification and confirmation of this Agreement, except as expressly set forth in such written amendment. The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach thereof, nor of any breach of any other term or provision of this Agreement.

14. Notice . All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly delivered (i) three business days after being received by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (ii) three business days after being sent for next business day delivery, fees prepaid, via a reputable nationwide overnight courier service, in the case of the Company, to its principal office address, and in the case of Director, to Director's residence address as shown on the records of the Company, or may be given by personal delivery thereof.

15. Severability . Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid and enforceable under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, unenforceable or prohibited by applicable law, then in lieu of declaring such provision invalid or unenforceable, to the extent permitted by law (a) the Parties agree that they will amend such provision to the minimal extent necessary to bring such provision within the ambit of enforceability, and (b) any court of competent jurisdiction may, at the request of either party, revise, reconstruct or reform such provision in a manner sufficient to cause it to be valid and enforceable.

16. Force Majeure . Neither of the Parties shall be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform hereunder, which delay or failure is due to causes beyond the control of said Party, including, but not limited to: acts of God; acts of the public enemy; acts of the United States of America or any state, territory or political subdivision thereof or of the District of Columbia; fires; floods; epidemics, quarantine restrictions; strike or freight embargoes. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 18, in every case the delay or failure to perform must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Party claiming excusable delay.

17. Authority to Contract . The Company warrants and represents that it has full authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and that this Agreement is not in conflict with any other agreement to which the Company is a party or by which it may be bound. The Company hereto further warrants and represents that the individuals executing this Agreement on behalf of the Company have the full power and authority to bind the Company to the terms hereof and have been authorized to do so in accordance with the Company's corporate organization.

 

18. Mediation . In the event of any dispute arising under or pursuant to this Agreement, the Parties agree to attempt to resolve the dispute in a commercially reasonable fashion before instituting any arbitration or litigation (with the exception of emergency injunctive relief as set forth in Paragraph 9). If the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days, then the Parties agree to mediate the dispute with a mutually agreed upon mediator in Houston, Texas. If the Parties cannot agree upon a mediator within ten (10) days after either party shall first request commencement of mediation, each party will select a mediator within five (5) days thereof, and those mediators shall select the mediator to be used. The mediation shall be scheduled within thirty (30) days following the selection of the mediator. If the mediation does not resolve the dispute, then Paragraph 20 shall apply. The Parties further agree that any applicable statute of limitations will be tolled for the period of time from the date mediation is requested until fourteen (14) days following the mediation.

19. Recovery of Litigation Costs . If any legal action or other proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument delivered under or in connection with this Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the successful or prevailing Party or Parties shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in that action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which it or they may be entitled.

 

20. Arbitration . Any and all disputes or controversies whether of law or fact and of any nature whatsoever arising from or respecting this Agreement shall be decided by arbitration by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Rules

except as modified herein.

 

(a) The arbitrator shall be elected as follows: in the event the Company and the Director agree on one arbitrator, the arbitration shall be conducted by such arbitrator. In the event the Company and the Director do not so agree, the Company and the Director shall each select one independent, qualified arbitrator and the two arbitrators so selected shall select the third arbitrator (the arbitrator(s) are herein referred to as the "Panel"). The Company reserves the right to object to any individual arbitrator who shall be employed by or affiliated with a competing organization.
(b) Arbitration shall take place at Houston, Texas, or any other location mutually agreeable to the Parties. At the request of either Party, arbitration proceedings will be conducted in the utmost secrecy; in such case all documents, testimony and records shall be received, heard and maintained by the arbitrators in secrecy, available for inspection only by the Company or the Director and their respective attorneys and their respective experts who shall agree in advance and in writing to receive all such information in secrecy until such information shall become generally known. The Panel shall be able to award any and all relief, including relief of an equitable nature, provided that punitive damages shall not be awarded. The award rendered by the Panel may be enforceable in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
(c) Reasonable notice of the time and place of arbitration shall be given to all Parties and any interested persons as shall be required by law.

 

21. Governing Law . This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws (but not the rules governing conflicts of laws) of the State of Texas.

22. Multiple Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute but one instrument.

23. Prior Agreements . The Company represents and warrants to Director, and Director represents and warrants to the Company, that Director and the Company have fulfilled all of the terms and conditions of all prior agreements to which Director may be or has
