JUMPSTART OUR BUSINESS STARTUPS ACT
 
 
The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 101 of the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) as we do not have more than $1,000,000,000 in annual gross revenue and did not have such amount as of December 31, 2013, the last day of our last fiscal year. We are electing to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act.
 
As an emerging growth company, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions fro m certain disclosure requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:
 
  
being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this quarterly report;
  
not being requested to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”);
  
reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; and
  
exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (i) our reporting $1 billion or more in annual gross revenues; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of first sale of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"); (iii) our issuance, in a three year period, of more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; and (iv) the end of the fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter of 2013.
 
As an emerging growth company we are exempt from Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Section 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Such sections are provided below:
 
Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires a public company’s auditor to attest to, and report on, management’s assessment of its internal controls.
 
Sections 14A(a) and (b) of the Exchange Act, implemented by Section 951 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, require companies to hold shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation and golden parachute compensation.    
 
  CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
Certain statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Report on Form 10-Q are considered forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) concerning our business, results of operations, economic performance and/or financial condition, based on management's current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and projections. Forward-looking statements are included, for example, in the discussions about:

  
strategy;
 
  
new product discovery and development;
 
  
current or pending clinical trials;
 
  
our products’ ability to demonstrate efficacy or an acceptable safety profile;
 
  
actions by the FDA and other regulatory authorities;
 
  
product manufacturing , including our arrangements with third-party suppliers;
 
  
product introduction and sales;
 
  
royalties and contract revenues;
 
  
expenses and net income;
 
  
credit and foreign exchange risk management;
 
  
liquidity;
 
  
asset and liability risk management;
 
  
the outcome of litigation and other proceedings;
 
  
intellectual property rights and protection;
 
  
economic factors;
 
  
competition; and
 
  
legal risks

Any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words "expects," "anticipates," "believes," "intends," "estimates," "aims," "plans," "may," "could," "will," "will continue," "seeks," "should," "predict," "potential," "outlook," "guidance," "target," "forecast," "probable," "possible" or the negative of such terms and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to change and may be affected by risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond our control. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement in light of new information or future events, except as required by law, although we intend to continue to meet our ongoing disclosure obligations under the U.S. securities laws and other applicable laws.
 
We caution you that a number of important factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements, and therefore you should not place too much reliance on them. These factors include, among others, those described herein, under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this report and in our other public reports filed with the SEC. It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors, and therefore the factors that are noted are not intended to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties that may affect forward-looking statements. If these or other risks and uncertainties materialize, or if the assumptions underlying any of the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, our actual performance and future actions may be materially different from those expressed in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements. We can offer no assurance that our estimates or expectations will prove accurate or that we will be able to achieve our strategic and operational goals.
 
Forward-looking statements are based on information we have when those statements are made or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements.  Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:
 

  
our lack of operating history;
 
  
our current and future capital requirements and our ability to satisfy our capital needs;
 
  
our inability to keep up with industry competition;
 
  
interpretations of current laws and the passages of future laws;
 
  
acceptance of our business model by investors and our ability to raise capital;
 
  
our drug discovery and development activities may not result in products that are approved by the applicable regulatory authorities. Even if our drug candidates do obtain regulatory approval they may never achieve market acceptance or commercial success;
 
  
our reliance on key personnel, including our ability to attract and retain scientists;
 
  
our reliance on third party manufacturing to supply drugs for clinical trials and sales;
 
  
our limited distribution organization with no sales and marketing staff;
 
  
our being subject to product liability claims;
 
  
legislation or regulation that may increase the cost of our business or limit our service and product offerings;
 
  
risks related to our intellectual property, including our ability to adequately protect intellectual property rights;
 
  
risks related to governmental regulation, including our ability to obtain approvals for the commercialization of some or all of our drug candidates, and ongoing regulatory obligations and continued regulatory review which may result in significant additional expense and subject us to penalties if we fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements; and
 
  
our ability to obtain regulatory approvals in foreign jurisdictions to allow us to market our products internationally.
 

Moreover, new risks regularly emerge and it is not possible for our management to predict or articulate all risks we face, nor can we assess the impact of all risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements.  All forward-looking statements included in this prospectus are based on information available to us on the date of this report.  Except to the extent required by applicable laws or rules, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained above and throughout this report.

On February 27, 2012, Resorts Club changed its name to pH Environmental Inc. (“pH Environmental”).
 
On April 23, 2012, pH Environmental completed a name change to TNI BioTech, Inc., and on April 24, 2012, pH Environmental executed a share exchange agreement for the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of TNI BioTech, IP. The Company currently operates out of Orlando, Florida and Frederick, Maryland. In July 2012, the Company’s focus turned to acquiring patents that would protect and advance the development of new uses of opioid-related immune- therapies, such as low-dose naltrexone (“LDN”) and Methionine [Met 5 ]-enkephalin (“MENK”). The Company’s therapies are believed to stimulate and/or regulate the immune system in such a way that they provide the potential to treat a variety of diseases.  We believe our therapies may be able to correct abnormalities or deficiencies in the immune system in diseases such as HIV infection, autoimmune disease, immune disorders, or cancer; all of which can lead to disease progression and life-threatening situations when the immune system is not functioning optimally.
 
In October 2012, the Company formed TNI BioTech International, Ltd., a BVI company in Tortola, British Virgin Islands.  TNI BioTech International was set up to allow the Company to market and sell LDN in those countries outside the U.S. in which we have been able to obtain approval to sell the Company’s products.
 
In August 2013, the Company formed its United Kingdom subsidiary, TNI BioTech, LTD (the “Subsidiary”). TNI BioTech, LTD received approval to be considered a  micro, small or medium-sized enterprise (“SME”) with the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) on August 21, 2013. The designation provides the Subsidiary with significant discounts when holding meetings or submitting filings to the EMA. On September 19, 2013, the Subsidiary submitted a pre-submission package to the EMA regarding Crohn’s Disease. The EMA granted the Subsidiary a meeting that took place on September 27, 2013. The Subsidiary is eligible to benefit from the provisions for administrative and financial assistance for SMEs set out in Regulation (EC) No 2049/2005.
 
In December 2013, the Company formed a new subsidiary, Cytocom Inc. ("Cytocom"), to focus on conducting LDN and MENK clinical trials in the United States. The Company expects that the manufacturing of TNI BioTech therapies and their subsequent distribution into emerging nations will continue to be operated directly through TNI BioTech. The Company initially entered into consultant arrangements with Dr. Graham Burton, M.D., Ph.D., and  Mr. Gary G. Gemignani, to focus on the clinical advancement of LDN and MENK through Cytocom.  Effective April 1, 2014, Dr. Burton was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of Cytocom.  On the same date, Mr. Gemignani was appointed Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Cytocom.  Dr. Burton will be responsible for leading Cytocom’s global development, clinical research and medical initiatives. Mr. Gemignani will be responsible for operational and business development activities and financial management of Cytocom.
 
In March 2014, the Company incorporated Airmed Biopharma Limited, an Irish corporation with an address in Dublin, Ireland.  Airmed Biopharma Limited was set up to benefit from incentives granted by the Irish government for the establishment of pharmaceutical companies (many of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies have located in Ireland), and so that the Company could take advantage of Ireland's status as a member of the European Union and the European Economic Area (the “Euro Zone”).  An Irish limited liability company enjoys a low corporate income tax rate of 12.5%, one of the lowest in the world. Airmed Biopharma Limited  hopes to qualify for   tax incentives for Irish holding/headquartered companies and to benefit from the network of double tax treaties that reduce withholding taxes.  TNI BioTech International will manage our international distribution, using product that is manufactured in Ireland and elsewhere.

TNI BioTech is focused on the development and commercialization of therapeutic treatments for cancer, HIV/AIDS and autoimmune diseases and immune disorders by combating these severe and fatal diseases through the stimulation and/or regulation of the body’s immune system. TNI’s growth strategy includes the near-term commercialization of its existing immunotherapies targeting cancer, Crohn’s disease and/or HIV/AIDS. Phase II dose-response studies of LDN are anticipated to begin in late 2014 to early 2015, to be followed shortly by a Phase III study.

Going Concern

The Company has incurred significant net losses since inception and has relied on its ability to fund its operations through private equity financings and short-term debt. Management expects operating losses and negative cash flows to continue at more significant levels in the future. As the Company continues to incur losses, transition to profitability is dependent upon the successful development, approval, and commercialization of its products and achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. The Company may never achieve profitability, and unless and until it does, the Company will continue to need to raise additional cash. Management intends to fund future operations through additional private or public debt or equity offerings, and may seek additional capital through arrangements with strategic partners or from other sources. Based on the Company’s operating plan, existing working capital at March 31, 2014 was not sufficient to meet the cash requirements to fund planned operations through December 31, 2014 without additional sources of cash. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company has experienced a net loss from operations of $17,664,940 and has used cash and cash equivalents for operations in the amount of $1,359,929 during the three months ended March 31, 2014, resulting in stockholders’ equity of $14,782,043.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as amended for interim financial information. The financial information as of March 31, 2014 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 ("2013 10-K"). The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2013 10-K, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
 
Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
           
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include bank demand deposits, marketable securities with maturities of three months or less at purchase, and money market funds that invest primarily in certificates of deposits, commercial paper and U.S. government and U.S. government agency obligations. Cash equivalents are reported at fair value.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents. The Company is exposed to credit risk, subject to federal deposit insurance, in the event of a default by the financial institutions holding its cash and cash equivalents to the extent of amounts recorded on the balance sheets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In accordance with the reporting requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 825, “ Financial Instruments,” the Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under this standard and includes this additional information in the notes to the financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments.  

Computer Equipment

Computer equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is determined on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally range from three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged against expense as incurred. Depreciation expense from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $575 and $120, respectively.
 
Intangible Assets

Costs incurred to acquire and/or develop the Company’s product licenses and patents are capitalized and amortized by straight-line methods over estimated useful lives of seven to sixteen years. Intangible assets are stated at the lower of cost or estimated fair market value.   Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $718,712 and $696,124, respectively.  The Company estimates its amortization expense related to these assets will approximate $2,800,000 each year for the next five years.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable as prescribed by ASC Topic 360, “ Property, Plant and Equipment. ” If the carrying amount of the asset, including any intangible assets associated with that asset, exceeds its estimated undiscounted net cash flow, before interest, the Company will recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between its carrying amount and its estimated fair value.  No impairment losses were recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2014 or for the corresponding period in 2013.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred and are typically comprised of salaries and benefits, pre-clinical studies, clinical trial activities, drug development and manufacturing, fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf and third-party service fees, including clinical research organizations and investigative sites. Costs for certain development activities, such as clinical trials are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data such as patient enrollment, clinical site activations, or information provided by vendors on their actual costs incurred. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual arrangements, which may differ from the pattern of costs incurred, and are reflected in the financial statements as operating expenses.

Income Taxes

Management considers the likelihood of changes by taxing authorities in its filed income tax returns, and recognizes a liability for or discloses potential changes that management believes are more likely than not to occur upon examination by tax authorities.  Management has not identified any uncertain tax positions in filed income tax returns that require recognition or disclosure. The Company’s income tax returns for the past three years are subject to examination by tax authorities, and may change upon examination.
 
We follow ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. This interpretation requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. ASC 740-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has adopted ASC 740-10 and evaluates its  tax positions on an annual basis. 

Share-Based Compensation and Issuance of Stock for Non-Cash Consideration
 
The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values equaling either the market value of the shares issued or the value of consideration received, whichever is more readily determinable.

The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of ASC Topic 505-50, “ Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees .” The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete.
             
Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method and the if-converted method. Dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of common stock purchase warrants and options outstanding. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.

A calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share follows:

The Company’s potential dilutive securities which include stock and warrants have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted-average Common stock outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share is the same.
 
The following shares of potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computations of diluted weighted average shares outstanding as the effect of including such securities would be antidilutive:

6 . Licenses and Supply Agreements

Patent and Subsidiary Acquisition

The Company entered into a share exchange agreement April 24, 2013 to acquire all of the outstanding shares of TNI BioTech IP, Inc. (“TNI IP”), a biotechnology firm incorporated in Florida formed to acquire patents related to the treatment of cancer and HIV/AIDS and autoimmune diseases, using Met-enkephalin (“MENK”) and Naltrexone (“LDN”). The goal of TNI IP’s management is to enable mankind and civilization to combat fatal diseases by activating and mobilizing the body’s own immune system using TNI IP’s patented use of MENK. 
 
The first patents acquired by TNI IP were acquired from Dr. Nicholas P. Plotnikoff and Professor Fengping Shan in 2012.  Dr. Plotnikoff and Dr. Shan have been specializing in research activities directed toward the study of cytokines, which are hormones naturally produced by the immune system. The primary cytokine, among many others currently being studied by TNI IP, is MENK.  The Company is focused on the treatment of cancer, HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases through the use of our lead compounds.

TNI IP changed its name from TNI BioTech, Inc., to TNI BioTech IP, Inc. on April 23, 2012.  TNI BioTech IP, Inc. is the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. TNI IP was acquired in exchange for 20,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock of which 8,000,000 shares were issued for the acquisition of the patent and the remaining 12,250,000 shares were issued to the founders of TNI IP in exchange for all of their right, title and interest in their TNI IP shares. The goodwill arising on the acquisition of TNI BioTech IP, Inc. was valued at $98,000,000 and license agreements arising from the acquisition of TNI BioTech IP, Inc. was valued at $16,006,000.
 
At the time of the acquisition, the valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets were determined using the fair market price for the Company’s common stock which were exchanged for shares of TNI BioTech IP, Inc.  In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company performed an annual valuation to determine whether any goodwill or intangible assets that had been acquired by the Company were impaired. The result of this valuation was that material impairments were identified. The Company recognized an impairment of the goodwill arising on the acquisition of TNI BioTech IP, Inc. of $98,000,000.

Malawi Treatment Facilities

On July 14, 2012, GB Oncology and Imaging Group LTD (“GBOIG”) in partnership with the Company signed a letter of intent agreement to collaborate with the Government of Malawi to assist in expanding the treatment of cancer, HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases.

The Company and GB will work in connection with the government of Malawi to open and operate clinics that provide treatments for HIV/AIDS, cancer and other infectious diseases. GBOIG and the Company originally expected  to have the oncology and infectious disease clinic fully operational within 12 months of the signing of the Agreement, and to begin treatment for HIV patients within 180 days thereafter. However, delays in obtaining approvals required for the importation of the Company’s products are likely to delay the start of the project until the second half of 2014.  Under the letter of intent, the Company and GBOIG will begin by providing HIV/AIDS treatment to 10,000 patients and hopefully expanding to 500,000 within 24 months of project start.  The Company shall contribute $1,000 in initial capital to the venture.  The Company shall be allocated 50% of the net income from the venture.  Either party may terminate the venture with 180 days’ notice to the other party prior to the one-year anniversary of the Agreement.  After the one-year anniversary, the agreement may only be terminated with 180 days' notice to the other party if the other party has breached the Agreement.

On May 1, 2014, the Company announced a plan to spin off its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cytocom, an entity established to operate the Company's drug development business. Following the spin-off, Cytocom will initially focus on developing LDN and MENK (the "Drug Development Business"). The Company will continue to retain rights to certain intellectual property assets, and will focus on manufacturing, distribution and marketing of these LDN and MENK therapies for the treatment of both humans and animals in certain territories (the "Marketing and Distribution Business").
 
To affect the spin-off "distribution" (the "Distribution"), the Company will first undertake certain internal reorganizational steps, following which Cytocom will hold the Drug Development Business subject to certain terms and conditions. At the time of the Distribution, each Company stockholder will receive one common share of Cytocom for every one share of Company common stock held by such Company stockholder as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 15, 2014, which is the "record date" for the Distribution. However, to the extent that a Company stockholder sells a portion or all of that stockholder's shares of the Company’s common stock prior to the record date, such stockholder also will be pro-rata selling the right to receive common shares of Cytocom through the Distribution. Company stockholders will not be required to pay any consideration to participate in the Distribution; however, mandatory surrender of existing Company shares will be required to receive shares of Cytocom through the Distribution. Company shareholders as of the record date will continue to own shares in the Company in the same form and in the same quantity as of the record date.
 
The Company will continue to be quoted on the OTCQB Market after the Distribution is completed and will continue to trade under the symbol "TNIB." Cytocom will be a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by the time of the Distribution, but will not initially be quoted on any securities marketplace or exchange.
 
The Distribution does not require Company stockholder approval. An information statement containing details regarding the Distribution and Cytocom's proposed business and management will be mailed to the Company stockholders prior to the Distribution. The consummation of the Distribution is subject to the effectiveness of a Form 10 registration statement filed by Cytocom and the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions that will be described in the information statement.

However, despite the strong demand for advanced clinical-phase products, nearly 4,000 known compounds have had their development suspended in Phase II or earlier. Many of these are promising therapeutic drug candidates, but their development was discontinued because of strategic or financial constraints rather than for clinical reasons.
 
The Company is focused on our lead therapies designed for the treatment of cancer, HIV/AIDS, Crohn’s disease, fibromyalgia and MS.  Management believes the pharmaceutical industry is eager to acquire advanced clinical-phase and approved products. However, despite the strong demand for advanced clinical-phase products, nearly 4,000 known compounds have had their development suspended in phase II or earlier. Many of these are promising therapeutic drug candidates, but their development was discontinued because of strategic or financial constraints rather than for clinical reasons. Therefore, management believes there are clear market opportunities with a significant amount of unmet needs and a robust potential for partnering activities.
 
Distribution and Production
 
The Company has entered into a contract for the supervision and inspection of manufacturing processes with ViPharma. The supervision and manufacturing agreement provides ViPharma with exclusive rights to supervise and inspect all manufacturing processes of IRT-103 low-dose naltrexone (“LDN”) in Latin America. The initial term of the agreement is ten years commencing in September 2013, with automatic five-year renewal terms provided neither party is in breach. The agreement may be terminated by (i) mutual agreement, (ii) in the event of a breach after a 45 day cure period or (iii) by either party upon provision of written notice at least 90 days before the end of the agreement, provided however that if TNI terminates the contract without cause it will be required to pay ViPharma a $10 million penalty.
 
The Company executed a manufacturing agreement with Laboratorios Ramos, a current good manufacturing practice (“cGMP”) facility for IRT-103 LDN effective August 16, 2013. Under the agreement, Laboratorios Ramos will produce LDN tablets, capsules and/or cream in accordance with the technical specifications provided by TNI, current good manufacturing practices and the practices of Nicaragua and of any other regulatory body of the countries where the products will be exported. Laboratorios Ramos has obtained all permits and licenses necessary to carry out the manufacturing of LDN.

The manufacturing agreement has a five-year term, renewable by a signed agreement by the parties at least 60 days before the expiration of the agreement. The agreement may be terminated earlier through mutual agreement or upon expiration of a 30-day cure period following notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party of a material failure of the obligations under the agreement. Additionally, TNI may terminate the agreement upon at least 30 days written notice if Laboratorios Ramos does not act in strict accordance with the technical specifications provided by TNI and with current good manufacturing practices or those of any regulatory body of the importing countries. The Company will pay Laboratorios Ramos a low single digit cent amount per tablet or capsule and a low double-digit cent amount per each cream produced.

In October 2013, the Company announced the signing of a distribution agreement with AHAR Pharma, a Nigerian company, to market Lodonal™, in Nigeria for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and cancer.  The agreement gives AHAR Pharma exclusive rights to sell to customers in the private sector, and  non-exclusive rights to sell to customers in the public sector,  AHAR Pharma intends to distribute Lodonal™ through a local distributor network, an Internet client base and directly to hospitals, pharmacists and doctors in Nigeria. Under the agreement, the Company is obligated to provide delivery of an initial supply of between 0.5 million and 1.0 million doses of Lodonal™ product per day to cover AHAR Pharma’s purchase commitments in 2015.
 
Subsidiaries
 
The Company formed its United Kingdom subsidiary, TNI BioTech, LTD (the “Subsidiary”) in August, 2013. TNI BioTech, LTD received approval to be considered an enterprise micro, small or medium-sized enterprise (“SME”) with the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) on August 21, 2013. The designation provides the Subsidiary with significant discounts when holding meetings or submitting filings to the EMA. On September 19, 2013, the Subsidiary submitted a pre-submission package to the EMA regarding Crohn’s Disease. The EMA granted the Subsidiary a meeting that took place on September 27, 2013. The Subsidiary is eligible to benefit from the provisions for administrative and financial assistance for SMEs set out in Regulation (EC) No 2049/2005.

In October 2012, the Company formed TNI BioTech International, Ltd., a BVI company in Tortola, British Virgin Islands.  TNI BioTech International was set up to allow the Company to market and sell Naltrexone in those countries we have been able to obtain approval.

In December 2013, the Company formed a new subsidiary, Cytocom Inc. ("Cytocom"), to focus on conducting LDN and MENK clinical trials in the United States. The Company expects that the manufacturing of TNI BioTech therapies and their subsequent distribution into emerging nations will continue to be operated directly through TNI BioTech. The Company initially entered into consulting arrangements with Dr. Graham Burton, M.D., Ph.D., and  Mr. Gary G. Gemignani, to focus on the clinical advancement of LDN and MENK through Cytocom.  Effective April 1, 2014, Dr. Burton was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of Cytocom.  On the same date, Mr. Gemignani was appointed Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Cytocom.  Dr. Burton will be responsible for leading Cytocom’s global development, clinical research and medical initiatives. Mr. Gemignani will be responsible for operational and business development activities and financial management of Cytocom.
 
In March 2014 the Company incorporated Airmed Biopharma Limited, an Irish corporation with an address in Dublin, Ireland (“Airmed”).  Airmed was set up to benefit from incentives granted by the Irish government for the establishment of pharmaceutical companies (8 out of 10 of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies have located in Ireland), and because Ireland is a member of the European Union and the European Economic Area (the “Euro Zone”).  An Irish limited liability company enjoys a low corporate income tax rate of 12.5%, one of the lowest in the world. The Irish-domiciled company hopes to qualify for   tax incentives for Irish holding/headquartered companies and to benefit from the network of double tax treaties that reduce withholding taxes.  The BVI company will manage our international distribution, using product that is manufactured in Ireland and elsewhere.

Research and Development

The Company's research and development ("R&D") activities commenced in the third quarter of 2012, the Company having only completed the initial acquisition of MENK-related patents required for research in the second quarter of that year.  In 2013 we continued to build R&D organization and capabilities focusing primarily on new uses for opioid-related immuno-therapies, such as LDN and MENK.  Those activities continued in the first quarter of 2014.

Our R&D priorities include development of Methionine [Met 5 ]-enkephalin (IRT-101 (MENK)), a small synthetic peptide that is naturally occurring in the body, and low dose naltrexone (IRT-103 (LDN)), an opioid receptor antagonist.  Our pipeline provides two therapies with a wide range of indications that can be pursued. We believe that both molecules have the ability to stimulate the immune system in order to treat a variety of autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis, immune disorders such as Crohn’s disease, cancer, and viral infections such as HIV/AIDS.

Our R&D is overseen and managed internally, working with individuals, universities, and CROs in order to utilize patents that we have licensed or acquired since our inception.  We continue to seek to expand our pipeline of patents by reviewing other compounds, technologies or capabilities. We also seek out promising compounds and innovative technologies developed by third parties to incorporate into our discovery and development processes or projects.

Drug discovery and development is time-consuming, expensive and unpredictable. According to PhRMA, out of 5,000-10,000 screened compounds, only 250 enter preclinical testing, five enter human clinical trials and one is approved by the FDA. The process from early discovery or design to development to regulatory approval can take more than 10 years. Drug candidates can fail at any stage of the process, and candidates may not receive regulatory approval even after many years of research.

As of March 31, 2014, we had two compounds (IRT-101 and IRT-103) in research and development.  We currently have two active development programs in oncology and Crohn’s disease; both of which are expected to move into Phase 3 clinical trials in the first half of 2014.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended March 31, 2014
 
Revenue
 
The Company reported no revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
 
The Company expects to derive revenues in 2014 from the sale of its products in Malawi, Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea, Burkina Faso and Niger under distribution and partnership agreements announced in 2012 and 2013.
 
Direct Expenses and Gross Margin
 
The Company incurred no direct expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.  In the future, direct expenses will include the cost of finished products to be purchased from the Company’s contract manufacturers, sales incentives, associated travel, and inventory return charges.
 
Gross margin, which is gross profit as a percent of revenue, will be affected by a number of factors, including the type of product sold and the geographic region in which the sale is made.
 
Research and Development
 
The Company makes significant investments in R&D in support of ongoing proprietary product development programs to support our pipeline of new drug candidates.
 
R&D expenses consist of salaries and benefits paid to employees directly engaged in research, payments made in cash or in kind to contractors for services directly related to research and product development, product development costs, payments made for patents and licenses to which the Company has acquired rights to use, and travel, telecommunications, facilities and external legal costs incurred in relation to research activities.  
 
We do not collect costs on a product basis or for any category of product involved in carrying out research projects. While we do perform cost calculations to facilitate our internal evaluation of individual products, these calculations include significant estimations and allocations that are not relevant to, or included in, our external financial reporting mechanisms. As a consequence, we do not report research and development costs at the product level.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily include salary and benefit costs for employees and contractors included in our sales, marketing, finance, legal and administrative organizations, professional services, insurance, unallocated travel expenses, telecommunications, and office expenses. Professional services consist principally of recruiting costs, external legal, audit, tax and other consulting services.
 
Other Expenses, Net
 
Other expenses, net consists primarily of interest income on cash balances, interest expense on borrowings. Interest expense will vary periodically depending on prevailing short-term interest rates.

Loss on settlement of debt
 
Loss on settlement of debt comprises the cost of issuance of common stock for the retirement of principal and accrued interest on promissory notes.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
 
We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of its results of operations. The Company’s senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures with the Company’s Board of Directors. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations are discussed throughout this section where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. Our preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates and such differences may be material.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
We consider all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock
 
The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the “as if converted” basis.

Uncertainty in Income Taxes
 
Management considers the likelihood of changes by taxing authorities in its filed income tax returns, and recognizes a liability for or discloses potential changes that management believes are more likely than not to occur upon examination by tax authorities.  Management has not identified any uncertain tax positions in filed income tax returns that require recognition or disclosure. The Company’s income tax returns for the past three years are subject to examination by tax authorities, and may change upon examination.
 
We follow Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”). This interpretation requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. ASC 740-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has adopted ASC 740-10 and evaluates its  tax positions on an annual basis.

Expenses for research and development in the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by 40% compared to expenses in the same period in 2013.  The increase occurred mainly as a result increases in the cost of stock payments for licenses, purchases of materials for R&D, legal fees paid to maintain patents and licenses.

In the three months ended March 31, 2014, total cash spent on R&D was $511, an increase of $192 or 60%  over the $380 spent in the same period in 2013.  Significant cash items included:

  
payments for contracted technical services ($143 in 2014, a decrease of $21 or 13% over the $164 spent in 2013), reflecting the increased use of contractors to perform some of our research activities;
  
purchases of supplies and materials used in research activities ($173 in 2014, an increase of $173 or 100% over the $0 spent in 2013); and
  
payroll ($92 in 2014, a decrease of $14 or 13% over the $106 spent in 2013), reflecting loss of our chief research officer in 2013.

Approximately 75% of the R&D spending in both 2014 and 2013 was on the development of LDN; the balance was spent on MENK.

Depreciation and amortization
 
The Company amortizes the costs incurred to acquire patents and licenses over the period of the related agreements.  The increase year over year in depreciation and amortization expense reflects the fact that most of the Company's patents and licenses were acquired after October 1, 2012.

Loss on settlement of debt

In three months ended March 31, 2013, certain lenders to the Company exercised their rights to convert all or a portion of their notes payable to equity. The Company recorded an expense of $3,068, reflecting the fair value of the shares of common stock issued in exchange for the notes.  There was no corresponding expense in three months ended March 31, 2014.
 
Liquidity
 
Liquidity is measured by our ability to secure enough cash to meet our contractual and operating needs as they arise. We do not anticipate generating sufficient net positive cash flows from our operations to fund the next twelve months. We had cash of $233,692 at March 31, 2014, compared to $176,246 at March 31, 2013.

We do not expect that our cash reserves will be sufficient to meet our operational needs and we will need to raise additional capital to pay for our operational expenses and provide for capital expenditures. In addition to the Company's operational expenses, which are estimated at $450,000 per month,   we estimate that we need approximately $7-15 million in the next twelve months to fully develop our products and for Phase III clinical trials for Crohn’s disease. If we are not able to raise additional working capital, we may have to cease operations altogether.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, net cash used in operating activities from operations was $1,359,929 and $1,182,797, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, net cash used in investing activities from operations was $0 and $161,709, respectively. In the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company spent $160,539 in payments for licenses from Penn State University
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 proceeds from the sale of stock and exercise of stock warrants totaled $657,025 compared to $1,030,324 for the corresponding period in 2013.  We also generated $600,000 from the issuance of notes payable in three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $249,000 in 2013.
 
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent entirely on raising funds through the sale of equity or debt. We anticipate that we will continue our attempt to raise capital through private equity and debt transactions, develop a credit facility with a lender, or the exercise of options and warrants; however, such additional capital may not be available to us at acceptable terms or available at all. In the event that we are unable to obtain additional capital, we would be forced to cease operations altogether.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we did not engage in any off balance sheet arrangements as defined in item 303(a)(4) of the SEC’s Regulation S-K.
 
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not Applicable.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, because of the weakness in internal controls over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014, using the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based upon this assessment, our management concluded that, as of March 31, 2014, the internal controls over financial reporting were not effective. The reportable conditions and material weakness relate to a limited segregation of duties and lack of an audit committee. The limited segregation of duties within our company and the lack of an audit committee are due to the small number of employees. Management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. This material weakness could result in material misstatements of significant accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. In addition, due to limited staffing, we are not always able to detect minor errors or omissions in reporting.

Going forward, management anticipates that additional staff will be necessary to mitigate these weaknesses, as well as to implement other planned improvements. Additional staff will enable us to document and apply transactional and periodic controls procedures, permit a better review and approval process and improve quality of financial reporting. However, the potential addition of new staff is contingent on obtaining additional financing, and there is no assurance that we will be able to do so.
 
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

Readers are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our control have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any control design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We believe there are no changes that constitute material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2014.   Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Between January 1, 2014 and March 31, 2014, various warrant holders exercised their warrants for an aggregate of 627,250 shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. In addition, the Company sold an aggregate 627,250 shares of its common stock at $0.58 per share and 48,000 warrants in a private placement (the “Private Placement”). Thw warrants are exercisible for a period of five years at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. In total, the Company received $290,625 as consideration for the exercise of the previously-issued warrants and $366,400 for the purchase of common stock under the Private Placement, for an aggregate sum of $657,025.
 
The issuances of the Company’s securities in connection with the warrants exercises and Private Placement were completed in private transactions by the Company not involving any public offering pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The shares purchased pursuant to the warrant exercises and the shares and warrants purchased in the Private Placement were issued bearing restrictive legend and may not be resold by the purchasers unless such securities are registered or an exemption from registration is available. The Company determined, based on representations of the investors, that the investors were “accredited investors” as defined under Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act.
 
In the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued a total of 5,490,000 shares, at an average price of $1.45 per share, and 1,400,000 five-year warrants, with an average exercise price of $1.36,  in accordance with consulting agreements entered into in 2013 and 2014.  The consulting agreements cover the provision of product and market development services, business development and strategy services, and investor and media relations services to the Company.

The issuances of the Company’s common stock and warrants for consulting services were completed in private transactions by the Company not involving any public offering pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The securities were issued bearing restrictive legend and may not be resold by the holders unless such shares are registered or an exemption from registration is available.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On May 1, 2014, the Company announced a plan to spin off  its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cytocom, an entity established to operate the Company's drug development business.  Following the spin-off, Cytocom will initially focus on developing LDN and MENK (the "Drug Development Business"). The Company will continue to retain rights to certain intellectual property assets, and will focus on manufacturing, distribution and marketing of these LDN and MENK therapies for the treatment of both humans and animals in certain territories (the "Marketing and Distribution Business").

To affect the spin-off "distribution" (the "Distribution"), the Company will first undertake certain internal reorganizational steps, following which Cytocom will hold the Drug Development Business subject to certain terms and conditions. At the time of the Distribution, each Company stockholder will receive one common share of Cytocom for every one share of Company common stock held by such Company stockholder as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 15, 2014, which is the "record date" for the Distribution.  However, to the extent that a Company stockholder sells a portion or all of that stockholder's shares of the Company’s common stock prior to the record date, such stockholder also will be pro-rata selling the right to receive common shares of Cytocom through the Distribution. Company stockholders will not be required to pay any consideration to participate in the Distribution; however, mandatory surrender of existing Company shares will be required to receive shares of Cytocom through the Distribution. Company shareholders as of the record date will continue to own shares in the Company in the same form and in the same quantity as of the record date.
 
 
32

 

The Company will continue to be quoted on the OTCQB Market after the Distribution is completed and will continue to trade under the symbol "TNIB."  Cytocom will be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, by the time of the Distribution, but will not initially be quoted on any securities marketplace or exchange.

The Company’s board of directors has determined that a strategic separation of the Company's two businesses is in the best interests of Company stockholders. The Company believes that spinning off the Drug Development Business will provide several opportunities and benefits, including the following:

  
Market Recognition:  The investment community, including analysts, stockholders and prospective investors in each company, will be better able to realize the value of the Company and Cytocom fully and independently and enhance the market recognition of each company;
  
Business Focus:  Each of the Company and Cytocom will be better able to focus efforts on and allocate resources towards its own business opportunities and challenges;
  
Improved Capital Flexibility:  the Company and Cytocom will be able to deploy capital and access additional financing, if appropriate, in accordance with each company's particular needs and business model; and
  
Employee Incentives:  Each of the Company and Cytocom will be better able to attract, retain and motivate employees by providing equity compensation tied more directly to its performance.

The Distribution does not require Company stockholder approval.  An information statement containing details regarding the Distribution and Cytocom's proposed business and management will be mailed to the Company stockholders prior to the Distribution. The consummation of the Distribution is subject to the effectiveness of a Form 10 registration statement filed by Cytocom and the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions that will be described in the information statement.
