Subject to Completion |
Dated March 15, 2016 |
PROSPECTUS
Up to 18,600,000 shares of common stock
We are hereby registering 18,600,000 shares, representing approximately 14% of our fully-diluted outstanding common stock if warrants held by our directors are exercised and all notes are sold and converted into common stock, for sale by Redwood Management, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, or its assigns, pursuant to 10% Convertible Promissory notes.
We are not selling any shares of common stock in the resale offering. We, therefore, will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling shareholder. This registration statement covers approximately two times the shares of common stock that will likely be issuable to the selling shareholder pursuant to the notes, as further detailed in this prospectus. We will bear all costs associated with this registration statement.
The selling shareholder may sell the shares of common stock described in this prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices. We provide more information about how the selling shareholder may sell their shares of common stock in the section of this prospectus entitled "Plan of Distribution." The selling shareholder is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in connection with the resale of our common stock issued pursuant to the notes.
Our common stock is registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is currently quoted on the OTCQB marketplace maintained by OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the symbol "BIEI." The closing price of our common stock as reported on the OTCQB on March 10, 2016, was $0.017.
These shares may be sold by the selling shareholders from time to time in the over-the-counter market or other national securities exchange or automated interdealer quotation system on which our common stock is then listed or quoted, through negotiated transactions or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices.
This offering will terminate on the earlier of (i) when all 18,600,000 shares are sold, (ii) when the notes have all been converted or repaid, or (iii) on the date which is two years after the effective date hereof, unless we terminate it earlier.
Investing in the common stock involves risks. Premier Biomedical, Inc. is a development stage company with limited operations, limited income, and limited assets, and you should not invest unless you can afford to lose your entire investment. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 14. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this Prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. Our common stock is governed under The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990, and as a result you may be limited in your ability to sell our stock.
The date of this Prospectus is __________________, 2016

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
PREMIER BIOMEDICAL, INC.
We are a research-based company that intends to discover and develop medical treatments for humans, specifically targeting the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS/Lou Gehrig's Disease), Blood Sepsis and Viremia, and Cancer.
We have not generated any revenue to date, and we do not currently have a product ready for market.
Joint Venture Agreements
On July 3, 2015, we entered into a consulting agreement with FBROCCO ASSESSORIA EMPRES ARIAL LTDA ASSESSORIA EMPRESARIAL LTDA, a Brazilian company ("FBROCCO"), pursuant to which FBROCCO will provide certain consulting services to us, which shall include (i) developing a relationship between us and a Brazilian -based entity that is interested in entering into a joint venture where the purpose is to import, market and sell our products in Brazil and other South American countries and (ii) facilitating a trip for one of our officers to travel to Brazil and meet with the proposed joint venture partner and various governmental officials who have relationships that would be advantageous to the formation and success of the anticipated joint venture.
U.S. Army CRADA
On June 7, 2013, we entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (the "CRADA") with the Clinical Investigation Regulatory Office U.S. Army Medical Research and Material Command ("CIRO") for performing medical research, development, testing and evaluation.
The purpose of the CRADA is to outline the terms upon which we will collaborate with the U.S. Army Medical Research and Material Command at the William Beaumont Army Medical Center ("WBAMC") on the "Clearance of Specific Immunomodulators from Cerebrospinal Fluid via Selective Dialysis," and more specifically targeting the prevention of suicidal ideation and clinical depression, and to assist in the creation of antibodies in order to obtain a decrease in the neuropathologic findings in traumatic brain injury.
Our obligation under the CRADA, in addition to providing the basis for the study, is to cover approximately $10,000 in costs, while the U.S. Army Medical Research and Material Command will provide equipment, material and services. The CRADA can be terminated by either party pursuant to thirty (30) days' notice, or work will cease upon completion of the study, exhaustion of funds, termination, or July 31, 2016, whichever occurs first. We have the initial authorization to file patent applications on all inventions jointly developed during the term of the CRADA.
As of September 30, 2015, we have paid $9,773 to the CIRO in reimbursement of expenses associated with our research.

University of Texas, El Paso Agreement
On May 9, 2012, we entered into a Collaborative Agreement with the University of Texas at El Paso. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, we will work jointly with the University to develop a series of research and development programs around our sequential-dialysis technology in the areas of Alzheimer's Disease, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Chronic Pain Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease), Blood Sepsis, Cancer, Heart Attacks and Strokes. The programs will utilize the facilities at one or more of the University of Texas' campuses. We will pay the University's actual overhead for the projects, plus a negotiated facility and administration overhead expense, and 10% of all gross revenues associated with the sale, license and/or royalties of all products and treatment procedures directly affiliated with programs. Intellectual property jointly invented and developed as a result of the projects will be owned jointly by the University and us. The agreement has an initial term of five (5) years, and is renewable upon mutual agreement of the parties.
On March 4, 2015, we entered into a Patent License Agreement (PLA) with the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) regarding our joint research and development of CTLA-4 Blockade with Metronomic Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Breast Cancer. This is the first PLA with UTEP following our Collaborative Agreement with them dated May 9, 2012, and memorializes the joint ownership of the applicable patent and the financial and other terms related thereto.
On June 19, 2015, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to this Agreement, pursuant to which we explicitly included Provisional Patent Application No. 62/161,116 entitled, "Anti-CTLA-4 Blockade" (the "Application") under the definition of "Patent Rights" as set forth in the PLA. The Application was filed with the United States Patent and Trademarks Office on May 13, 2015; the underlying technology was invented by Robert Kirken and Georgialina Rodriguez, and is solely-owned by The Board of Regents of The University of Texas System.
As of September 30, 2015, we have paid $279,968 to the University in connection with our research, and owe them an additional $256,733.
License Agreements
On May 12, 2010, we entered into two separate License Agreements. One License Agreement was entered into with Altman Enterprises, LLC, wherein we obtained certain exclusive rights in (i) proprietary technology that is the subject of one pending international, or PCT, patent application relating to the treatment of auto-immune diseases, and (ii) the "Feldetrex" trademark. T he Patent Cooperation Treaty ("PCT") is an international patent law treaty which was concluded in 1970. It provides a unified procedure for filing patent applications to protect inventions in each of its contracting countries. A patent application filed under the PCT is called an international application, or PCT application. The other License Agreement was entered into with Marv Enterprises, LLC, wherein we obtained certain exclusive rights in proprietary technology that is the subject of two international, or PCT, patent applications relating to the treatment of blood borne carcinomas and sequential extracorporeal treatment of blood. We started developing a business around these two licenses immediately. The licensors are entities under the control of Dr. Mitchell S. Felder, the Chairman of our Board of Directors. We decided to abandon pursuit of these international patents over our intellectual properties during 2011 and focus exclusively on the U.S. patent market .
5 |
|
Under the terms of the Altman license, we agreed to (i) pay a royalty of five percent (5%) of any sales of products using the technology, with no minimum royalty and (ii) reimburse the licensor for any costs incurred in pursuing its proprietary rights in the licensed technology and pay any costs incurred for maintaining or obtaining the licensors' proprietary rights in the licensed technology in the U.S. and in extending the intellectual property to other countries around the world. The licensor has the sole discretion to select other countries into which exclusive rights in the licensed technology may be pursued, and if we decline to pay those expenses, then the licensor may pay said expenses and our licensed rights in those countries will revert to the licensor. The license is for an indefinite term, but may be terminated by either party upon a breach by the other party, or if certain conditions (including a breach of the agreement, an intentional devaluation by us of our common stock owned by licensor, our failure to diligently pursue commercialization of the licensed technology, and the presence of litigation or a regulatory action against us) are not satisfied.
Under the terms of the Marv license, which are nearly identical to the Altman license, we agreed to (i) pay a royalty of five percent (5%) of any sales of products using the technology, with no minimum royalty and (ii) reimburse the licensor for any costs incurred in pursuing its proprietary rights in the licensed technology and pay any costs incurred for maintaining or obtaining the licensors' proprietary rights in the licensed technology in the U.S. and in extending the intellectual property to other countries around the world. The licensor has the sole discretion to select other countries into which exclusive rights in the licensed technology may be pursued, and if we decline to pay those expenses, then the licensor may pay said expenses and our licensed rights in those countries will revert to the licensor. The license is for an indefinite term, but may be terminated by either party upon a breach by the other party, or if certain conditions (including a breach of the agreement, an intentional devaluation by us of our common stock owned by licensor, our failure to diligently pursue commercialization of the licensed technology, and the presence of litigation or a regulatory action against us) are not satisfied.
We intend to uphold the license agreements and follow the terms thereof. While Dr. Felder is one of our Company's founders and the Chairman of our Board of Directors, there can be no assurance that he will extend the offer to license these technologies to us in the future as currently contemplated.
As of September 30, 2015, we have not generated any revenues and thus have not paid any license fees. We have, however, paid $139,873 in reimbursement of expenses associated with the technology we have licensed, and owe them an additional $29,703.

Financing Agreements
On December 28, 2015, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Redwood Management, LLC, pursuant to which we agreed to sell, and Redwood Management, LLC, or its assigns, agreed to purchase, One Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,600,000) in 10% Convertible Promissory notes.

The notes can be prepaid by us at any time upon ten (10) days written notice to Redwood for a cash amount equal to the sum of the then outstanding principal amount of the note and interest multiplied by 130%. Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to register the shares underlying conversion of the notes. Out of the proceeds of the notes, we paid a total of $52,500 to Chardan Capital Markets, LLC as a placement fee, and $10,000 to the holder's legal counsel as reimbursement of legal expenses.

Upon an event of default under the notes held by a selling shareholder, such selling shareholder may accelerate the outstanding principal amount of all outstanding notes held by such selling shareholder, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and other amounts owing through the date of acceleration. In the event of such acceleration, the interest rate on the then-outstanding notes held by such selling shareholder shall accrue at an additional interest rate equal to the lesser of 2% per month or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. Upon acceleration, the amount due will be 130% of the outstanding principal amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid interest, together with payment of all other amounts, costs, expenses and liquidated damages due under the notes held by such Selling shareholder. Upon an event of default, a Selling shareholder may choose to convert all outstanding notes held by such Selling shareholder into common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to 50% of the of the lowest traded price of the Common stock in the fifteen (15) trading days prior to the conversion date (the "Default Conversion Price") or exercise its remedies as a secured creditor.
After taking into consideration interest accruing on the notes and the OID, the total amount repaid by the Company in cash or stock could exceed $593,000 (assuming no events of default occur). If this entire balance is satisfied by conversion of the notes to common stock, we would have to issue the selling shareholders a total of 58,044,730 shares of common stock in satisfaction of our obligations under the Financing Agreements; provided, however, that the notes each contain a limitation which provides that the Company shall not effect any conversion of principal and/or interest under any Note, and a holder of a Note shall not have the right to convert any principal and/or interest of such Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion, the holder (together with the holder's affiliates, and any persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder's affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the 4.99% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock. We are seeking to register 18,600,000 shares, which is equal to approximately 32% of the amount we estimate we would be obligated to issue on the full amount of the notes. If our stock price does not increase, we will have to file subsequent registration statements.
Pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreements, we are required to keep available out of our authorized and unissued shares of common stock a number of shares of common stock at least equal to 300% of the maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock then issued or potentially issuable in the future pursuant to the terms of the notes.
Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, within 30 days of the closing date, we must file the registration statement which relates to the resale by the holders of all of the Company's common stock issued upon conversion of the notes (or such other number as the SEC shall permit).
11 |
|
The notes and the shares of common stock that may be issued to Redwood and the other selling shareholders upon conversion of the notes will be issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Pursuant to the Financing Agreements, we have filed a registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, covering the possible resale by the selling shareholders of all of the shares that we may issue to the selling shareholders upon conversion of the notes. Through this prospectus, the selling shareholders may offer to the public for resale shares of our common stock that we may issue to Redwood and the other selling shareholders.
The Financing Agreements contain representations and warranties by us and Redwood which are typical for transactions of this type.
As set forth in the Financing Agreements, Redwood has represented to us that it has not, directly or indirectly, executed any purchases or sales, including short sales, of our common stock.
The Financing Agreements obligate us to indemnify Redwood for certain losses resulting from a misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by us or breach of any obligation of ours. Redwood also indemnifies us for similar matters.
The issuance of our shares of common stock upon conversion of the notes will have no effect on the rights or privileges of existing holders of common stock except that the economic and voting interests of each stockholder will be diluted as a result of the issuance of our shares. Although the number of shares of common stock that stockholders presently own will not decrease as a result of the transactions, these shares will represent a smaller percentage of our total shares that will be outstanding after any issuances of shares of common stock to Redwood or the other selling shareholders; provided, however, that the notes each contain a limitation which provides that the Company shall not effect any conversion of principal and/or interest under any Note, and a holder of a Note shall not have the right to convert any principal and/or interest of such Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion, the holder (together with the holder's affiliates, and any persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder's affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the 4.99% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
We entered into the Financing Agreements with the intention to grow our business, which in turn should increase our value. We expect to add significant positive value through the use of funds received pursuant to the financing.

Any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the following information, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, before you decide to buy our common stock. If one or more of the following events actually occurs, our business will suffer, and as a result our financial condition or results of operations will be adversely affected. In this case, the market price, if any, of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment in our common stock.
We are developing medical treatments for Cancer, Alzheimer's disease, ALS, Blood Sepsis Leukemia, and other life-threatening cancers, Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, Neuropathic Pain and Traumatic Brain Injury. W e face risks in developing our product candidates and services and eventually bringing them to market. We also face risks that our business model becomes obsolete. The following risks are material risks that we face. If any of these risks occur, our business, our ability to achieve revenues, our operating results and our financial condition could be seriously harmed.
Risk Factors Related to the Offering
Existing stockholders may experience significant dilution upon the conversion of the notes.
The sale of convertible promissory notes pursuant to the Financing Agreements, and the subsequent conversion of those notes into our common stock, may have a dilutive impact on our shareholders. As a result, our net income per share could decrease in future periods and the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is at the time of note conversions, the more shares of our common stock we will have to issue to Redwood. If our stock price decreases, then our existing shareholders would experience greater dilution upon conversion of the notes.
The perceived risk of dilution may cause our stockholders to sell their shares, which may cause a decline in the price of our common stock. Moreover, the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our stock price could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our common stock. By increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in our common stock.
Redwood Management, LLC will convert the notes at less than the then-prevailing market price of our common stock which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
Our common stock to be issued to Redwood under the Financing Agreement will be purchased at a forty percent (40%) discount, or sixty percent (60%) of the lowest traded price of the Common stock in the fifteen (15) trading days prior to the conversion date .
Redwood has a financial incentive to sell our shares immediately upon receiving them to realize the profit between the discounted price and the market price. If Redwood sells our shares, the price of our common stock may decrease. If our stock price decreases, Redwood may have a further incentive to sell such shares. Accordingly, the discounted sales price in the Financing Agreements may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

We are registering an aggregate of 18,600,000 shares of common stock to be issued under the Financing Agreements. The sale of such shares could depress the market price of our common stock.
We are registering an aggregate of 18,600,000 shares of common stock under the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part for issuance pursuant to the Financing Agreements. The sale of these shares into the public market by Redwood could depress the market price of our common stock.
Risk Factors Related to the Business of the Company
We have a limited operating history and our financial results are uncertain.
We have a limited history and face many of the risks inherent to a new business. As a result of our limited operating history, it is difficult to accurately forecast our potential revenue. We were incorporated in Nevada in 2010. Our revenue and income potential is unproven and our business model is still emerging. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will provide a return on investment in the future. An investor in our common stock must consider the challenges, risks and uncertainties frequently encountered in the establishment of new technologies, products and processes in emerging markets and evolving industries. These challenges include our ability to:
|
· |
execute our business model; |
|
|
|
|
· |
create brand recognition; |
|
|
|
|
· |
manage growth in our operations; |
|
|
|
|
· |
create a customer base in a cost-effective manner; |
|
|
|
|
· |
retain customers; |
|
|
|
|
· |
access additional capital when required; and |
|
|
|
|
· |
attract and retain key personnel. |
There can be no assurance that our business model will be successful or that it will successfully address these and other challenges, risks and uncertainties.
We will need additional funding in the future, and if we are unable to raise capital when needed, we may be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our product candidate development programs, commercial efforts, or sales efforts.
Developing products and methods and procedures of treatment and marketing developed products is costly. We will need to raise substantial additional capital in the future in order to execute our business plan and help us and our collaboration partners fund the development and commercialization of our product candidates.
In 2014, we raised funds through a public equity offering. We may need to finance future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or strategic collaboration and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience additional dilution, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants and may result in high interest expense. If we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish some rights to our product candidates, processes and technologies or our development projects or to grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available from the foregoing sources, we may consider additional strategic financing options, including sales of assets, or we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our research or development programs or curtail some of our commercialization efforts of our operations. We may seek to access the public or private equity markets whenever conditions are favorable, even if we do not have an immediate need for additional capital.

We do not own our technologies, they are owned by, and licensed from, two entities that are under the control of the Chairman of our Board of Directors.
We do not currently own the technologies necessary to conduct our operations. The patents necessary to pursue our intended business plan are under the control of our Chairman of the Board of Directors. As consideration for the two licenses, we agreed to (i) pay a royalty of five percent (5%) of any sales of products using the technology, with no minimum royalty and (ii) reimburse the licensor for any costs incurred in pursuing its proprietary rights in the licensed technology and pay any costs incurred for maintaining or obtaining the licensors' proprietary rights in the licensed technology in the U.S. and in extending the intellectual property to other countries around the world. The licensor has the sole discretion to select other countries into which exclusive rights in the licensed technology may be pursued, and if we decline to pay those expenses, then the licensor may pay said expenses and our licensed rights in those countries will revert to the licensor. The license agreements contain provisions that require us to indemnify the licensor for any claims, including costs of litigation, brought against them related to the licenses, and require us to maintain insurance that may be burdensome. In the event of a breach of our obligations under the license agreements, the licensors are entitled to various damages and remedies, up to and including termination of said license agreements. The licensors are entities under the control of Dr. Mitchell S. Felder, the Chairman of our Board of Directors. While Dr. Felder is one of our Company's founders and the Chairman of our Board of Directors, there can be no assurance that he will extend the offer to license these technologies to us in the future as currently contemplated.
We do not intend to take our Feldetrex Ò product candidate past the development stage, but instead intend to enter into collaboration agreements with collaboration partners. If we are unable to enter into an agreement with collaboration partners, our Feldetrex Ò product candidate cannot be marketed, and it will not generate revenue for us.
We do not intend to conduct clinical trials on our Feldetrex Ò product candidate. We instead intend to enter into one or more collaboration agreements with third parties to do so. However, we have not entered into any such agreements, or discussions for any such agreements, and we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in doing so. If we do not find a collaboration partner, the Feldetrex Ò product candidate cannot be marketed, and it will not generate any revenue for us.
The failure to generate revenue from our Feldetrex Ò product candidate will have a materially adverse effect on our overall revenues, profitability, and we may not be able to continue operations.
15 |
|
If an individual used any of our product candidates prior to their approval by the FDA or other regulatory authority, we face risks of unforeseen medical problems, and up to a complete ban on the sale of our product candidates.
The efficacy and safety of pharmaceutical products is established through a process of clinical testing under Federal Drug Administration ("FDA") oversight. No individual is authorized or should use any of our products outside of an established process of clinical testing and FDA approval and authorization. If an individual were to use one of our product candidates in such a manner, we cannot predict the potential medical harm to that individual. If such an event were to occur, the FDA or similar regulatory agency might impose a complete ban on the sale or use of our candidate products.
The FDA might not approve our product candidates for marketing and sale .
We intend to enter into agreements with larger pharmaceutical companies as collaboration partners, in part to help cover the cost of seeking regulatory approvals. We believe that FDA approval of some of our product candidates will need to undergo a full investigational new drug (IND) application with the FDA, including clinical trials. There can be no assurance that the FDA will approve our IND application or any other applications. Failure to obtain the necessary FDA approval will have a material negative affect on our operations. While we intend to license our Feldetrex Ò product to a larger pharmaceutical company, they in turn, may not be able to obtain the necessary approval to market and sale the product.
We may fail to deliver commercially successful new product candidates, methods and procedures of treatment, and treatments.
Our technology is at an early stage of research and development. As of the date hereof, we have partnered with the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), and protocol for animal testing procedures is being developed in conjunction with UTEP at this time. Subsequent clinical trials on human patients will be coordinated with our development partners in the near future. We have also entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (the "CRADA") with the Clinical Investigation Regulatory Office U.S. Army Medical Research and Material Command ("CIRO") for performing medical research, development, testing and evaluation. Pursuant to the CRADA, we will collaborate with the U.S. Army Medical Research Material Command at the William Beaumont Army Medical Center ("WBAMC") on the "Clearance of Specific Immunomodulators from Cerebrospinal Fluid via Selective Dialysis," and more specifically, targeting the prevention of suicidal ideation and clinical depression, and assisting in the creation of antibodies in order to obtain a decrease in the neuropathologic findings in traumatic brain injuries.
The development of commercially viable new products and methods and procedures of treatment, as well as the development of additional uses for existing products and methods and procedures of treatment, is critical to our ability to generate sales and/or sell the rights to manufacture and distribute our product and process candidates to another firm. Developing new products and methods and procedures of treatment is a costly, lengthy and uncertain process. A new product or process candidate can fail at any stage of the development or commercialization, and one or more late-stage product or process candidates could fail to receive regulatory approval.
16 |
|
New product and process candidates may appear promising in development, but after significant investment, fail to reach the market or have only limited commercial success. This, for example, could be as a result of efficacy or safety concerns, inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals, difficulty or excessive costs to manufacture, erosion of patent term as a result of a lengthy development period, infringement of third-party patents or other intellectual property rights of others or inability to differentiate the product or process adequately from those with which it competes.
The commercialization of product and process candidates under development may not be profitable.
In order for the commercialization of our product candidates to be profitable, our product and process candidates must be cost-effective and economical to manufacture on a commercial scale. Furthermore, if our product candidates and methods and procedures of treatment do not achieve market acceptance, we may not be profitable. Subject to regulatory approval, we expect to incur significant development, sales and marketing expenses in connection with the commercialization of our new product and process candidates. Even if we receive additional financing, we may not be able to complete planned development and marketing of any or all of our product or process candidates. Our future profitability may depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:
·
the terms and timing of any collaborative, licensing and other arrangements that we may establish;
·
the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights;
·
the costs of establishing manufacturing and production, sales, marketing and distribution capabilities; and
·
the effect of competing technological and market developments.
Even if our collaboration partners receive regulatory approval for our product and process candidates, we may not earn significant revenues from such product or process candidates. With respect to the product and methods and procedures of treatment candidates in our development pipeline that are being developed by or in close conjunction with third parties, our ability to generate revenues from such product and process candidates will depend in large part on the efforts of such third parties. To the extent that our collaboration partners are not successful in commercializing our product or process candidates, our revenues will suffer, we will incur significant additional losses and the price of our common stock will be negatively affected.
We may engage in strategic transactions that fail to enhance stockholder value.
From time to time, we may consider possible strategic transactions, including the potential acquisitions or licensing of products or technologies or acquisition of companies, and other alternatives with the goal of maximizing stockholder value. We may never complete a strategic transaction, and in the event that we do complete a strategic transaction, implementation of such transactions may impair stockholder value or otherwise adversely affect our business. Any such transaction may require us to incur non-recurring or other charges and may pose significant integration challenges and/or management and business disruptions, any of which could harm our results of operation and business prospects.
17 |
|
Our business is heavily regulated by governmental authorities, and failure to comply with such regulation or changes in such regulations could negatively impact our financial results.
We must comply with a broad range of regulatory controls on the testing, approval, manufacturing and marketing of our product candidates, procedures and other treatments, particularly in the United States and countries of the European Union, that affect not only the cost of product development but also the time required to reach the market and the uncertainty of successfully doing so. Health authorities have increased their focus on safety when assessing the benefit risk/balance of drugs in the context of not only initial product approval but also in the context of approval of additional indications and review of information regarding marketed products. Stricter regulatory controls also heighten the risk of changes in product profile or withdrawal by regulators on the basis of post-approval concerns over product safety, which could reduce revenues and can result in product recalls and product liability lawsuits. There is also greater regulatory scrutiny, especially in the United States, on advertising and promotion and in particular on direct-to-consumer advertising.
The regulatory process is uncertain, can take many years, and requires the expenditure of substantial resources. In particular, proposed human pharmaceutical therapeutic product requirements set by the FDA in the United States, and similar health authorities in other countries, require substantial time and resources to satisfy. We may never obtain regulatory approval for our product and process candidates.
We may not be able to gain or sustain market acceptance for our services and product candidates.
Failure to establish a brand and presence in the marketplace on a timely basis could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, there can be no assurance that we will successfully complete our development and introduction of new products or product enhancements, or methods and procedures of treatment or that any such product candidates or methods and procedures of treatment will achieve acceptance in the marketplace. We may also fail to develop and deploy new products and product enhancements on a timely basis.
The market for products, methods and procedures of treatment and services in the pharmaceuticals industry is highly competitive, and we may not be able to compete successfully.
We intend to operate in highly competitive markets. We will likely face competition both from proprietary products of large international manufacturers and producers of generic pharmaceuticals. Most of the competitors in the industry have longer operating histories and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than us, and may be able to respond more quickly than we can to new or changing opportunities and customer requirements. Also, many competitors have greater name recognition and more extensive customer bases that they can leverage to gain market share. Such competitors are able to undertake more extensive promotional activities, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and offer more attractive terms to purchasers than we can.
Significant product innovations, technical advances or the intensification of price competition by competitors could adversely affect our operating results. We cannot predict the timing or impact of competitive products or their potential impact on sales of our product candidates.
18 |
|
If any of our major product candidates or methods and procedures of treatment were to become subject to a problem such as unplanned loss of patent protection, unexpected side effects, regulatory proceedings, publicity affecting doctor or patient confidence or pressure from competitive products and methods and procedures of treatment, or if a new, more effective treatment should be introduced, the adverse impact on our revenues and operating results could be significant.
We are dependent on the services of key personnel and failure to attract qualified management could limit our growth and negatively impact our results of operations.
We are highly dependent on the principal members of our management and scientific staff and certain key consultants, including our Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of our Board of Directors. We will continue to depend on operations management personnel with pharmaceutical and scientific industry experience. At this time, we do not know of the availability of such experienced management personnel or how much it may cost to attract and retain such personnel. The loss of the services of any member of senior management or the inability to hire experienced operations management personnel could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
If physicians and patients do not accept our current or future product candidates or methods and procedures of treatment, we may be unable to generate significant additional revenue, if any.
The products and methods and procedures of treatment that we may develop or acquire in the future may fail to gain market acceptance among physicians, health care payors, patients and the medical community. Physicians may elect not to recommend these treatments for a variety of reasons, including:
·
timing of market introduction of competitive drugs;
·
lower demonstrated clinical safety and efficacy compared to other drugs or treatments;
·
lack of cost-effectiveness;
·
lack of availability of reimbursement from managed care plans and other third-party payors;
·
lack of convenience or ease of administration;
·
prevalence and severity of adverse side effects;
·
other potential advantages of alternative treatment methods; and
·
ineffective marketing and distribution support.
If our product candidates and processes fail to achieve market acceptance, we would not be able to generate significant revenue.

We are exposed to the risk of liability claims, for which we may not have adequate insurance.
Since we participate in the pharmaceutical industry, we may be subject to liability claims by employees, customers, end users and third parties. We do not currently have product liability insurance. We intend to have proper insurance in place; however, there can be no assurance that any liability insurance we purchase will be adequate to cover claims asserted against us or that we will be able to maintain such insurance in the future. We intend to adopt prudent risk management programs to reduce these risks and potential liabilities; however, we have not taken any steps to create these programs and have no estimate as to the cost or time required to do so and there can be no assurance that such programs, if and when adopted, will fully protect us. We may not be able to put risk management programs in place, or obtain insurance, if we are unable to retain the necessary expertise and/or are unsuccessful in raising necessary capital in the future. Adverse rulings in any legal matters, proceedings and other matters could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Pre-clinical and clinical trials are conducted during the development of potential products and other treatments to determine their safety and efficacy for use by humans. Notwithstanding these efforts, when our treatments are introduced into the marketplace, unanticipated side effects may become evident. Manufacturing, marketing, selling and testing our product candidates under development or to be acquired or licensed, entails a risk of product liability claims. We could be subject to product liability claims in the event that our product candidates, processes, or products under development fail to perform as intended. Even unsuccessful claims could result in the expenditure of funds in litigation and the diversion of management time and resources, and could damage our reputation and impair the marketability of our product candidates and processes. While we plan to maintain liability insurance for product liability claims, we may not be able to obtain or maintain such insurance at a commercially reasonable cost. If a successful claim were made against us, and we don't have insurance or the amount of insurance was inadequate to cover the costs of defending against or paying such a claim or the damages payable by us, we would experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Other companies may claim that we have infringed upon their intellectual property or proprietary rights.
We do not believe that our product candidates and methods and procedures violate third-party intellectual property rights; however, we have not had an independent party conduct a study of possible patent infringements. Nevertheless, we cannot guarantee that claims relating to violation of such rights will not be asserted by third parties. If any of our product candidates or methods and procedures of treatment are found to violate third-party intellectual property rights, we may be required to expend significant funds to re-engineer or cause to be re-engineered one or more of those product candidates or methods and procedures of treatment to avoid infringement, or seek to obtain licenses from third parties to continue offering our product candidates or methods and procedures of treatment without substantial re-engineering, and such efforts may not be successful.
In addition, future patents may be issued to third parties upon which our product candidates and methods and procedures of treatment may infringe. We may incur substantial costs in defending against claims under any such patents. Furthermore, parties making such claims may be able to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief, which effectively could block our ability to further develop or commercialize some or all of our products or methods and procedures of treatment in the United States or abroad, and could result in the award of substantial damages against us. In the event of a claim of infringement, we may be required to obtain one or more licenses from third parties. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such licenses at a reasonable cost, if at all. Defense of any lawsuit or failure to obtain any such license could be costly and have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our success depends on our ability to protect our proprietary technology.
Our success depends, to a significant degree, upon the protection of our proprietary technology, and that of any licensors. Legal fees and other expenses necessary to obtain and maintain appropriate patent protection could be material. Insufficient funding may inhibit our ability to obtain and maintain such protection. Additionally, if we must resort to legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual property rights, the proceedings could be burdensome and expensive, and could involve a high degree of risk to our proprietary rights if we are unsuccessful in, or cannot afford to pursue, such proceedings.
Our licensors have been granted three U.S. patents: Sequential Extracorporeal Treatment of Bodily Fluids, U.S. Patent No. 9,216,386; Utilization of Stents for the Treatment of Blood Borne Carcinomas, U.S. Patent No. 8,758,287; and Medication and Treatment for Disease, U.S. Patent No. 8,865,733, in the areas of cancer, sepsis, and multiple sclerosis. We expect these patents to cover the medical treatments for Multiple Sclerosis, Blood Sepsis, and Cancer and be effective until 2029. Our licensors have licensed these technologies to us pursuant to the terms of the license agreements. We anticipate that other technologies that derive from these patents will also belong to us and are covered by the license agreements. However, we have not conducted thorough prior art or novelty studies, but we are not aware of existing prior art that would prevent us from obtaining patents on our product candidates or methods and procedures of treatment. Prior art preventing us from obtaining broad patent protection is a possibility. Inability to obtain valid and enforceable patent protection would have a material negative impact on our business opportunities and success. Because the patent positions of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions, the patents may not be granted on our applications, and any future patents owned and licensed by us may not prevent other companies from developing competing products or ensure that others will not be issued patents that may prevent the sale of our products or require licensing and the payment of significant fees or royalties. Furthermore, to the extent that: (i) any of our future products or methods are not patentable; (ii) such products or methods infringe upon the patents of third parties; or (iii) our patents or future patents fail to give us an exclusive position in the subject matter to which such patents relate, our business will be adversely affected. We may be unable to avoid infringement of third-party patents and may have to obtain a license, or defend an infringement action and challenge the validity of such patents in court. A license may be unavailable on terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all. Patent litigation is costly and time consuming, and we may be unable to prevail in any such patent litigation or devote sufficient resources to even pursue such litigation. If we do not obtain a license under such patents, are found liable for infringement and are not able to have such patents declared invalid, we may be liable for significant monetary damages, encounter significant delays in bringing products to market or may be precluded from participating in the manufacture, use or sale of products or methods of treatment requiring such licenses.
We may also rely on trademarks, trade secrets and contract law to protect certain of our proprietary technology. There can be no assurance that any trademarks will be approved, that such contract will not be breached, or that if breached, we will have adequate remedies. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any of our trade secrets will not become known or independently discovered by third parties.
Additionally, we may, from time to time, support and collaborate in research conducted by universities and governmental research organizations. There can be no assurance that we will have or be able to acquire title or exclusive rights to the inventions or technical information derived from such collaborations, or that disputes will not arise with respect to rights in derivative or related research programs conducted by us or such collaborators.
21 |

Our future growth may be inhibited by the failure to implement new technologies.
Our future growth is partially tied to our ability to improve our knowledge and implementation of medical and pharmaceutical technologies. The inability to successfully implement commercially viable medical and pharmaceutical technologies in response to market conditions in a manner that is responsive to our customers' requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Risks Related To Our Common stock
The market price of our common stock may be volatile and may be affected by market conditions beyond our control.
The market price of our common stock is subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors:
|
· |
variations in our operating results and market conditions specific to Biomedical Industry companies; |
|
|
|
|
· |
changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts; |
|
|
|
|
· |
announcements of innovations or new products or services by us or our competitors; |
|
|
|
|
· |
the emergence of new competitors; |
|
|
|
|
· |
operating and market price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable; |
|
|
|
|
· |
changes in our board or management; |
|
|
|
|
· |
sales or purchases of our common stock by insiders; |
|
|
|
|
· |
commencement of, or involvement in, litigation; |
|
|
|
|
· |
changes in governmental regulations; and |
|
|
|
|
· |
general economic conditions and slow or negative growth of related markets. |
In addition, if the market for stocks in our industry or the stock market in general, experiences a loss of investor confidence, the market price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition or results of operations. If any of the foregoing occurs, it could cause the price of our common stock to fall and may expose us to lawsuits that, even if unsuccessful, could be costly to defend and a distraction to the board of directors and management.
If we are unable to pay the costs associated with being a public, reporting company, we may not be able to continue trading on the OTCQB and/or we may be forced to discontinue operations.
Our common stock is listed for trading on the OTCQB. We expect to have significant costs associated with being a public, reporting company, which may raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue trading on the OTCQB and/or continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue trading on the OTCQB and/or continue as a going concern will depend on positive cash flow, if any, from future operations and on our ability to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. If we are unable to achieve the necessary product sales or raise or obtain needed funding to cover the costs of operating as a public, reporting company, our common stock may be deleted from the OTCQB and/or we may be forced to discontinue operations.

Our common stock is listed for quotation on the OTCQB tier of the marketplace maintained by OTC Markets Group, Inc., which may make it more difficult for investors to resell their shares due to suitability requirements.
Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB tier of the marketplace maintained by OTC Markets Group, Inc. Broker-dealers often decline to trade in over-the-counter stocks given the market for such securities are often limited, the stocks are more volatile, and the risk to investors is greater. These factors may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of their shares. This could cause our stock price to decline.
Our principal stockholders have the ability to exert significant control in matters requiring stockholder approval and could delay, deter, or prevent a change in control of our company.
William A. Hartman and Dr. Mitchell S. Felder collectively own 46,767,672 shares of our outstanding common stock, 2,000,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (which is convertible into an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock), and through the exercise of warrants could acquire another 30,000,000 shares of our common stock. The shares of our preferred stock have 100 votes per share, giving these two shareholders the vast majority of our current voting securities. As a result, they have the ability to influence matters affecting our shareholders, including the election of our directors, the acquisition or disposition of our assets, and the future issuance of our shares. Because they control such shares, investors may find it difficult to replace our management if they disagree with the way our business is being operated. Because the influence by these shareholders could result in management making decisions that are in the best interest of those shareholders and not in the best interest of the investors, you may lose some or all of the value of your investment in our common stock. Investors who purchase our common stock should be willing to entrust all aspects of operational control to our current management team.
We do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
We do not intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We do not plan on making any cash distributions in the manner of a dividend or otherwise. Our Board presently intends to follow a policy of retaining earnings, if any.

We have outstanding convertible debt, which, if repaid will require a significant amount of capital, or if converted into our common stock could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.
As of September 30, 2015, we had five convertible notes outstanding with a cumulative outstanding principal balance of $234,600. Repayment of the notes must be done at a premium to the then-outstanding balance, resulting in the need for approximately $328,500 in liquid capital. If, rather than repay these notes, we allow them to convert into our common stock, which conversions would be done at a discount to the market price of our common stock, resulting in the issuance of approximately 23,460,000 shares of our common stock (based on a conversion price of $0.01 per share), all of which could be sold into the open market at the time of conversion.
We have the right to issue additional common stock and preferred stock without consent of stockholders. This would have the effect of diluting investors' ownership and could decrease the value of their investment.
We are authorized to issue up to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, of which there are currently 89,579,908 shares issued and outstanding, and up to an additional 47,841,455 of which may be issued and outstanding if all of our currently outstanding preferred stock and warrants were exercised and converted into common stock. We therefore have up to an additional 862,578,637 authorized but unissued shares of our common stock that may be issued by us for any purpose without the consent or vote of our stockholders that would dilute stockholders' percentage ownership of our company.
In addition, our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of shares of preferred stock, the rights, preferences, designations and limitations of which may be set by the Board of Directors. Our certificate of incorporation has authorized the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in the discretion of our Board. The shares of authorized but undesignated preferred stock may be issued upon filing of an amended certificate of incorporation and the payment of required fees; no further stockholder action is required. If issued, the rights, preferences, designations and limitations of such preferred stock would be set by our Board and could operate to the disadvantage of the outstanding common stock. Such terms could include, among others, preferences as to dividends and distributions on liquidation.
Our officers and directors can sell some of their stock, which may have a negative effect on our stock price and ability to raise additional capital, and may make it difficult for investors to sell their stock at any price.
Our officers and directors, as a group, are the beneficial owners of 14,874,872 shares of our common stock, representing nearly 17% of our total issued shares, with options and warrants to purchase another 45,870,000 shares of our common stock. Each individual officer and director may be able to sell up to 1% of our outstanding stock (currently approximately 895,799 shares) every 90 days in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, which may have a negative effect on our stock price and may prevent us from obtaining additional capital. In addition, if our officers and directors are selling their stock into the open market, it may make it difficult or impossible for investors to sell their stock at any price.

Our common stock is governed under The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990.
The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure relating to the market for penny stocks in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. The Commission has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Such exceptions include any equity security listed on NASDAQ and any equity security issued by an issuer that has (i) net tangible assets of at least $2,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for three years, (ii) net tangible assets of at least $5,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years, or (iii) average annual revenue of at least $6,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith.
The forward looking statements contained in this Prospectus report may prove incorrect.
This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements, including among others: (i) anticipated trends in our financial condition and results of operations; (ii) our business strategy for expanding distribution; and (iii) our ability to distinguish ourselves from our current and future competitors. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. In addition to the other risks described elsewhere in this "Risk Factors" discussion, important factors to consider in evaluating such forward-looking statements include: (i) changes to external competitive market factors or in our internal budgeting process which might impact trends in our results of operations; (ii) anticipated working capital or other cash requirements; (iii) changes in our business strategy or an inability to execute our strategy due to unanticipated changes in the biotechnology industry; and (iv) various competitive factors that may prevent us from competing successfully in the marketplace. In light of these risks and uncertainties, many of which are described in greater detail elsewhere in this "Risk Factors" discussion, there can be no assurance that the events predicted in forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus will, in fact, transpire.
25 |
|
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We have made forward-looking statements in this Prospectus, including the sections entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business," that are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, financing plans, competitive position, industry environment, potential growth opportunities, the effects of future regulation, and the effects of competition. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate" or similar expressions. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including the risks outlined under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Prospectus.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, events, levels of activity, performance or achievement. We are not under any duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Prospectus to conform these statements to actual results, unless required by law.
USE OF PROCEEDS
This Prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling shareholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the selling shareholders in this offering. We will pay for expenses of this offering, except that the selling shareholders will pay any broker discounts or commissions or equivalent expenses applicable to the sale of their shares.
However, we have received $525,000 from the sale of notes to Redwood under the Financing Agreements, and we will use these proceeds for working capital needs.
Our allocation of proceeds represents our best estimate based upon the expected requirements of our proposed business and marketing plan. If any of these factors change, we may reallocate some of the net proceeds. The portion of any net proceeds not immediately required will be invested in certificates of deposit or similar short-term interest bearing instruments.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
The selling shareholder is Redwood Management, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, or its assigns (including Redwood Fund III, Ltd. and RDW Capital, LLC) . Redwood and the other selling shareholders may sell any number of shares of our common stock which are issuable upon conversion of amounts due under the notes. Because Redwood and the other selling shareholders may offer all, some or none of the shares they hold, and because, based upon information provided to us, there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares, no definitive estimate as to the number of shares that will be held by Redwood and the other selling shareholders after the offering can be provided.
As of the date of this Prospectus, assuming that $0.017 is lowest traded price of the Common stock in the fifteen (15) trading days prior to the conversion date per share, our sales price to Redwood would be $0.0102 per share and we would have to issue approximately 58,044,730 shares of our common stock.
As of the date of this Prospectus, there are approximately 64,500,000 shares of our common stock held by or currently issuable to non-affiliates, representing approximately 72% of the outstanding common stock prior to any sales to Redwood. The 18,600,000 shares we are registering for resale by Redwood represents approximately 29% of the outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates. None of the shares that we are registering are being sold by Redwood Fund III, Ltd.
We cannot sell shares to Redwood if such shares would cause Redwood to own more than 4.99% of our common stock. As a result, as of the date of this Prospectus, Redwood cannot own more than approximately 4,478,995 shares after giving effect to that issuance to Redwood. If our total number of outstanding shares of common stock increases, as it will as Redwood converts some or all of the notes, then we would be able to sell more shares to Redwood before reaching the 4.99% threshold.
Redwood intends to sell up to 18,600,000 shares and is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with the resale of our common stock under the Financing Agreements. As of date of this Prospectus, Redwood or its affiliates does not own any shares of our common stock
All of the shares held by the selling shareholders are restricted securities as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
27 |
|
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling shareholder of the common stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the principal trading market on which our common stock trades or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
|
· |
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker dealer solicits purchasers; |
|
|
|
|
· |
block trades in which the broker dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
|
|
|
|
· |
purchases by a broker dealer as principal and resale by the broker dealer for its account; |
|
|
|
|
· |
privately negotiated transactions; |
|
|
|
|
· |
broker dealers may agree with the selling shareholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
|
|
|
|
· |
a combination of any such methods of sale; or |
|
|
|
|
· |
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling shareholder may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available, rather than under this Prospectus.
Broker dealers engaged by the selling shareholder may arrange for other brokers dealers to participate in sales. Broker dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling shareholder (or, if any broker dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
28 |
|
The selling shareholder is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The selling shareholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common stock. Pursuant to a requirement by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, the maximum commission or discount to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker/dealer may not be greater than eight percent (8%) of the gross proceeds received by us for the sale of any securities being registered pursuant to SEC Rule 415 under the Securities Act.
Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by the selling shareholder. The selling shareholder may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.
We will pay all expenses in connection with the registration and sale of the common stock by the selling shareholder. The estimated expenses of issuance and distribution are set forth below:
Registration Fees |
|
Approximately |
|
$ | 981 |
|
transfer agent Fees |
|

We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of any of the shares of our common stock by the selling shareholder. We may, however, receive proceeds from the sale of notes pursuant to the Financing Agreements. Neither the Financing Agreements, nor any rights of the parties thereunder, may be assigned or delegated to any other person.
29 |
|
Because the selling shareholder is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act, it will be subject to the Prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this Prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this Prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling shareholder.
We agreed to keep this Prospectus effective until all the shares covered by the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part (i) have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144; or (ii) (A) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and (B) (I) may be sold without the requirement for us to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 or (II) we are in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144; or (iii) the commitment period under the Committed Equity Facility Agreement has expired and no registrable securities are then held of record by the selling shareholder that are subject to any resale restriction under Rule 144, as determined by our counsel in a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the transfer agent and the affected selling shareholder. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling shareholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the selling shareholder or any other person. We will make copies of this Prospectus available to the selling shareholder and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this Prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.
The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure relating to the market for penny stocks in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. The Commission has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Such exceptions include any equity security listed on NASDAQ and any equity security issued by an issuer that has (i) net tangible assets of at least $2,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for three years, (ii) net tangible assets of at least $5,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years, or (iii) average annual revenue of at least $6,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Our authorized capital stock consists of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001. As of the date of this registration statement, there are 89,579,908 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, and 2,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
Common Stock . Each shareholder of our common stock is entitled to a pro rata share of cash distributions made to shareholders, including dividend payments. The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of our directors or any other matter. Therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of those directors can elect all of the directors. The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by our Board of Directors from funds legally available therefore. Cash dividends are at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of our liabilities and after provision has been made for each class of stock, if any, having any preference in relation to our common stockholders of shares of our common stock have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.
Preferred Stock . We are authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 2,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock have been authorized and issued. The Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into one share of common stock for each share of Preferred Stock converted. The holders of our Preferred Stock also have 100 votes per share of Preferred Stock that they hold, to be voted as a group along with the common shareholders on all matters on which the shareholders are entitled to vote. The holders of our Preferred Stock have no specific rights, as a group, to elect directors (although the number of votes per share of Preferred Stock entitles the holders of at least 840,000 shares of Preferred Stock, as a group, the right to elect all directors over the holders of our currently outstanding common stock). The holders of our preferred stock are not entitled to a dividend preference over the common stock, but are entitled to a liquidation preference in the amount of $1.25 per share. The preferred stock is not redeemable. Finally, the holders of the preferred stock are entitled to protective provisions as follows:
The Company may not take any of the following actions without the approval of a majority of the holders of the outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock: (i) effect a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or which results in the holders of the Company's capital stock prior to the transaction owning less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Company's capital stock after the transaction, (ii) alter or change the rights, preferences, or privileges of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (iii) increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (iv) authorize the issuance of securities having a preference over or on par with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or (v) effectuate a forward or reverse stock split or dividend of the Company's common stock. |

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Corporate History
We were incorporated on May 10, 2010 in the State of Nevada.
Overview
We are a research-based company that intends to discover and develop medical treatments for humans, specifically targeting the treatment of:
Cancer |
Fibromyalgia |
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) |
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) |
Neuropathic Pain |
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) |
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS/Lou Gehrig's Disease) |
Blood Sepsis and Viremia |
We have a two-fold corporate focus:
One is to target Cancer, Alzheimer's disease, ALS, Blood Sepsis, Leukemia, and other life-threatening cancers, and to do this we intend to develop our proprietary Sequential-Dialysis Technique . The methodology involved in this technique is largely unexplored and has been described by scientists as the "wild west" of modern medicine. Consequently, our first entry into the therapeutics market for medications that work against cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, infectious diseases, Alzheimer's disease, strokes and traumatic brain injury carries significant obstacles before reaching the opportunities of a $700 billion industry.
The other is the development of our proprietary drug candidate Feldetrex™ , a potential treatment for Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, Neuropathic Pain and Traumatic Brain Injury. The formulation used in the current Feldetrex™ will be individually tailored to the various illnesses we intend to target, with each formulation being given a unique proprietary brand name. The annual market size of MS treatment is $500 million and the annual market size for all proposed Feldetrex™ market segments is $16 billion.
To overcome the significant obstacles inherent to the development of our Sequential-Dialysis Technique and Feldetrex™ candidate drug, we are seeking to partner with prestigious institutions and pharmaceutical companies with the substantial infrastructure and resource capacity to perform experimentation and to engage in product development in an inexpensive and efficient manner.
33 |
|
SEQUENTIAL-DIALYSIS TECHNIQUE
Our proprietary Sequential-Dialysis Technique is a methodology for the removal of those molecules which are harmful and responsible for causing diseases. A significant disappointment in the practice of modern medicine is that the capabilities do exist to eliminate the presence of most illnesses, including life-threatening diseases such as AIDS and cancer, but with a caveat that the process of treatment comes with catastrophic side effects that can and often do kill the patient.
Our development is that the innovative Sequential-Dialysis Methodology is done extracorporeally (outside the body). This is a truly unique and innovative method for alleviating disease.
We believe that this methodology can be used for the prevention of cancer metastasis, for directly attacking the causation of intractable seizures, for preventing the death of anterior motor neurons in ALS, for preventing the cause of the neuropathological changes in Alzheimer's disease and Traumatic Brain Injury and for eradicating the causations of infectious diseases, and our intention is that the effectiveness of this technique will be demonstrated and supported in future clinical studies.
Through our Sequential-Dialysis Technique , we ultimately hope to provide a cure for cancer if not only to dramatically extend the lives of suffering patients. Our initial focus is on lab and animal tests. Clinical trials, as required, will be undertaken subsequently.

CANCER
Description of Illness
Cancer is a class of diseases in which a group of cells display 1) uncontrolled growth beyond the normal limits of cell reproduction, 2) invasion and destruction of adjacent tissues, and sometimes 3) metastasis or spread to other locations in the body via lymph or blood. These three properties of malignant cancers differentiate them from benign tumors which are self-limited and do not invade or metastasize. Most cancers form a tumor, but some, like leukemia, do not. 1
Cancer may affect people at all ages but the risk for most varieties of cancer increases with age. In the United States, cancer accounts for nearly 1 in 4 deaths. According to the American Cancer Society about 577,190 Americans will die of Cancer this year, making the death toll a staggering 1,500 people per day. 2 Globally and on average, 7.5 million people die of Cancer every year. There are about 12.7 million people living with cancer in the United States. 3
Nearly all cancers are caused by abnormalities in the genetic material of the transformed cells. These abnormalities may be due to the effect of carcinogens, such as tobacco smoke, radiation, chemicals, or infectious agents. Other cancer-promoting genetic abnormalities may be randomly acquired through errors in DNA replication, or are inherited, and thus are present in all cells from birth. The heritability of cancers is usually affected by complex interactions between carcinogens and the host's genome. New aspects of the genetics of cancer pathogenesis, such as DNA methylation and microRNAs are increasingly recognized as important.

Conventional Method of Treatment
Cancer can be treated today by surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, monoclonal antibody therapy, or other methods. The choice of therapy depends upon the location and grade of the tumor and the stage of the disease, as well as the general state of the patient. A number of experimental cancer treatments are also under development. Complete removal of the cancer without damage to the rest of the body is the goal of treatment. Sometimes this can be accomplished by surgery, but the propensity of cancers to invade adjacent tissue or to spread to distant sites by microscopic metastasis often limits its effectiveness. The ffectiveness of chemotherapy is often limited by toxicity to other tissues in the body. Radiation damages normal tissue. 4
Potential for Sequential Dialysis Technique
We intend to develop a methodology for treating cancer which is completely different from the standard treatments of chemotherapy and radiation therapy that are now being utilized. Due to the fact that all presently known treatments directly inject chemotherapeutic agents into the body of a patient and/or directly irradiate the patient, there is a very high level of adverse side effects, such as kidney failure, encephalopathy, neuropathy, heart toxicity, and other severe morbidities.
We intend to develop our intellectual property applications for utilizing a proprietary methodology in which the cancer patient's blood or other bodily fluid is utilized to remove metastatic cancer cells or other disease causing antigens. This is accomplished by sequentially dialyzing the patient's blood or other bodily fluid extracorporeally. The method will utilize designer antibodies to physically remove the pathophysiologic basis of the disease. For example, in sepsis there will be the physical attachment and removal of bacteria. In cancer treatment, there will be the physical attachment and then physical removal of metastasizing cancer cells. There will also be the physical attachment, and removal of those proteins which allow cancer to metastasize successfully and then thrive-such as angiogenic proteins. To date there has been no specific clinical evidence to support a conclusion that this treatment is effective for premetastatic or metastatic cancers. We hope to demonstrate this in future lab and animal experiments. Through this process, the cancer can be targeted through a number of innovative techniques being developed by the Company. |
|
|
This extracorporeal sequential dialysis methodology for cancer treatment has an enormous potentiality for decreasing the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatment in cancer patients. Our methodology may also increase the efficacy of cancer treatment by allowing for much higher dosages of anti-neoplastic agents to be used through this extracorporeal methodology. Due to the fact that this methodology completely avoids exposure of the patient's body to these anti-cancer agents, dosages that cannot be normally tolerated can now be utilized in fighting the cancer.

ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
Description of Illness
Alzheimer's disease is a dementing illness, which induces a progressive impairment of intellectual functioning, including a loss of short term memory. There is also a progressive impairment in executive functioning with occasional psychiatric manifestations such as depression and delirium. Delirium is characterized by an acute confusion. Oftentimes patients have language impairment and apraxia-an inability to perform previously learned tasks. Patients also often times show agnosia, an inability to recognize objects, and patients have a loss of visual-spatial abilities, for example oftentimes becoming lost in familiar surroundings. Occasionally hallucinations occur in severe forms of Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease comes from neuropathic changes in the brain which includes the accumulation of neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques in the cortex of the brain. 5 Neurofibrillary tangles are composed of Tau proteins, which are deposited within the neurons of the brain. Thus, Tau proteins are the causation of Alzheimer's disease and other Tauopathies such as Pick's Disease, Tuberous Sclerosis and certain forms of Parkinson's disease.
A report by the Alzheimer's Association examining the current trajectory of Alzheimer's disease shows that the number of Americans age 65 and older who have Alzheimer's disease will increase from 5.1 million in 2010 to 13.5 million by mid-century. The report entitled " Changing the Trajectory of Alzheimer's Disease: A National Imperative " shows that "in the absence of disease-modifying treatments, the cumulative cost of care for people with Alzheimer's from 2010 to 2050 will exceed $20 trillion, in today's dollars. Total costs of care for individuals with Alzheimer's disease by all payers will soar from $172 billion in 2010 to more than $1 trillion in 2050." During this time, the Medicare costs of Alzheimer's disease will soar 600% to $627 billion and the Medicaid costs of Alzheimer's disease will soar 400% to $178 billion. 6
Conventional Method of Treatment
Presently, there is no cure for Alzheimer's disease. Treatments exist but only target the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease without targeting the underlying progression of the disease. Consequently the projected future life span of an individual diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease is 5 to 7 years. 7
Potential for Sequential-Dialysis Technique
We believe that our proprietary Sequential-Dialysis Technique can be used to prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease. This would be done by removing the proteins responsible for the pathologic changes in the brain, namely the protein Tau; thus, preventing the cause of the neuropathic changes that cause Alzheimer's disease. The Tau protein will be removed from the cerebral spinal fluid in which it resides utilizing a designer antibody (an antibody genetically engineered for a specific purpose) which will allow for the efficacious removal of the protein. We hope to demonstrate this in future lab and animal experiments. We believe that our Sequential-Dialysis Technique can also be used in this fashion to treat Traumatic Brain Injury.

ALS
Description of Illness
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. While the cause of ALS is uncertain, the process of ALS is known to occur as motor neurons in affected patients progressively degenerate until death. As motor neurons degenerate, they can no longer send impulses to muscle fibers that normally result in muscle movement. Eventually, the motor neurons die and the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movements is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease become totally paralyzed. 8
ALS has been frequently referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease, after the famous New York Yankees baseball player diagnosed with the disease in 1939.
Annually, about 5,600 people are diagnosed with ALS in the United States. The projected future life span of a diagnosed patient is two to five years. It is projected that of the current US population, 300,000 people will die of ALS before a cure is found.
The financial cost to families of persons with ALS is exceedingly high. In the advanced stages, care can cost up to $200,000 a year. Entire savings of relatives of patients are quickly depleted because of the extraordinary cost involved in the care of ALS patients. 9 |

Conventional Method of Treatment
There is currently no cure or treatment that halts or reverses ALS. However, there is one FDA approved drug, Riluzole, which modestly slows the progression of ALS.
Potential for Sequential-Dialysis Technique
Numerous medical studies have proven that the causation of ALS is an over excitation of the anterior motor neurons in the spinal cord. Our Sequential-Dialysis Technique method removes those excitatory neural transmitters that cause the death of those cells. The method will utilize designer antibodies to physically remove excitatory neurotransmitters such as glutamate from cerebrospinal fluid. We hope to demonstrate this methodology in future lab and animal experiments. Thus, we hope to prevent the development of ALS; thereby, giving hope to patients of a currently unconquerable disease.

BLOOD SEPSIS AND VIREMIA
Description of Illness
Blood Sepsis, also known as Blood Poisoning, is an infection of the blood stream. Sepsis is caused when toxin releasing bacteria, such as Staphylococcus, enter the blood. Blood Sepsis is a particularly devastating disease due to the domino-effect of organ shutdown which causes multiple organ failure. Blood Sepsis causes a whole body inflammatory state called Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS).
Blood Sepsis first results in the shutdown of kidneys; thus patients require standard dialysis immediately to prevent death. As the disease progresses, vital signs collapse-the foremost of these being blood pressure. Subsequently, symptoms of Sepsis include elevated temperature, elevated heart rate, respiratory collapse, further organ failures, altered mental status and cardiac failure.
Septicemia is a major cause of death in the United States and puts people in the intensive care unit at a very high rate. Only about 1-2% of all hospitalizations in the United States are attributed to Septicemia, though Septicemia accounts for as much as 25% of bed-utilization in intensive-care units.
Conventional Method of Treatment
The traditional therapy of Blood Sepsis (bacteremia) relies on intravenous treatment using multiple antibiotics. However, in intensive care units, even with today's treatment, approximately 35% of patients with severe sepsis and 60% of patients with septic shock die within 30 days.
Septicemia is of particular concern because of the exceedingly high cost of treatment for Septicemia patients. A typical stay in the intensive care unit costs $10,000 per day with testing. Consequently, the treatment of Blood Sepsis is one of the most costly expenditures for hospitals in America.
Potential for Sequential-Dialysis Technique
We hope to conquer Blood Sepsis and Viremia (a disease having symptoms similar to Sepsis but caused by virus) by using our proprietary Sequential-Dialysis Technique . If proven successful, this technique would dialyze the toxin producing bacteria out of the blood by using antibodies; thus saving countless lives while also providing significant cost savings to hospitals around the country. The method will utilize designer antibodies to physically remove the toxin producing bacteria out of the blood. The designer antibodies will attach to the toxin producing bacteria or virus, and then the antibody-antigen compound will be efficaciously dialyzed out of the blood extracorporeally. We hope to demonstrate this methodology in future lab and animal experiments.

FELDETREX™
Although a combination of generic medications, we have a U.S. Patent (No. 8,865,733) on our Feldetrex™ candidate drug. In this way, Feldetrex™ is similar to Viagra Ò , which was a proprietary cardiac drug prior to its current use and ownership by Pfizer. Consequently, we have one pending patent application for our Feldetrex™ candidate drug-intending to increase our Feldetrex™ related patent applications to three in the near future.
Feldetrex™ may serve as an additional medication utilized by physicians for the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, or Traumatic Brain Injury, and is designed to decrease symptomatology in those conditions. Feldetrex™ will not compete against our proprietary Sequential-Dialysis Technique in the market to treat Traumatic Brain Injury, but rather the two will work conjunctively.
Feldetrex™ utilizes a low dosage of Naltrexone which has been shown in multiple medical articles, in the medical literature, to increase endogenous enkephalins 10 (endogenous enkephalins are pain-relieving pentapeptides produced in the body, located in the pituitary gland, brain, and GI tract. Axon terminals that release enkephalins are concentrated in the posterior horn of the gray matter of the spinal cord, in the central part of the thalamus, and in the amygdala of the limbic system of the cerebrum. Endogenous Enkephalins function as neurotransmitters that inhibit neurotransmitters in the pathway for pain perception, thereby reducing the emotional as well as the physical impact of pain). We have not independently conducted medical or laboratory tests to show the mechanism of action of this medication. While Naltrexone in high dosages acts as an opioid antagonist, it inhibits opiate receptors. Naltrexone in low dosages causes a compensatory upregulation (increase in the number of receptors) of native endorphins and enkephalins, which last beyond the effects of the Naltrexone itself. We believe that this means, paradoxically, that a daily dose of low dose Naltrexone can be used to chronically increase endorphin and enkephalin levels. We believe that by utilizing a low dosage, Naltrexone has a unique ability to increase enkephalins and other neurotransmitters in the brainstem of patients.

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
Description of Illness
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a devastating inflammatory neurologic disease in which white matter, known as myelin, is damaged-causing episodic or neurological symptoms. The destruction of myelin inhibits communications between the nerves in the brain.
Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis include extreme fatigue, numbness, weakness, difficulty with eyesight, spasticity, speech problems, and problems with coordination. Multiple Sclerosis has its greatest incidence in young adults and patients are usually diagnosed at less than 55 years of age at the onset of the illness.
The cause of Multiple Sclerosis is unknown, although the disease is believed to be an autoimmune problem triggered by a virus-meaning that the patient's immune cells attack and destroy the patient's myelin. In the United States, there are approximately 400,000 patients diagnosed with MS and approximately 200 new patients are diagnosed every week. 11 Globally, Multiple Sclerosis is believed to effect 2.1 million people, mostly of European origin.
Conventional Method of Treatment
'ABC' drugs Avonex, Beta-Seron, Copaxone are used to treat Multiple Sclerosis but have been shown to barely beat out placebos in efficacy and are not approved in England for government subsidy. The drug Tysavri was deemed dangerous and was taken off the market for over a year.
Another treatment of MS is high dose steroids; though, this treatment simply decreases symptoms without curing MS.
Potential for Feldetrex™
Our proprietary Feldetrex™ candidate drug will not compete with typical treatment methods for Multiple Sclerosis, but rather, is simply an add-on drug to increase the effectiveness of treatment.

FIBROMYALGIA
Description of Illness
Fibromyalgia is a common illness affecting approximately 2% of the general population, most common amongst women 20 to 50 years of age. Approximately five million Americans suffer from the debilitating illness. The cause of Fibromyalgia is officially unknown and diagnosis of Fibromyalgia is a 'diagnosis of exclusion'-meaning that Fibromyalgia is diagnosed as an illness after Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lupus have been ruled out with a blood test.
Patients with Fibromyalgia suffer from debilitating fatigue, numbness, headaches, and chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain with multiple tender points. Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition lasting 6 months to many years. Patients commonly complain of chronic aching, pain, stiffness, sleep difficulty, headaches, and irritable bowel syndrome. Consequently, approximately 25% of patients with Fibromyalgia are work disabled. The direct and indirect costs of Fibromyalgia are, on average, $5,945 per patient.
|
|
|
Conventional Method of Treatment
Lyrica (Pregabalin) is the only FDA approved medication for the treatment of Fibromyalgia. However, Lyrica oftentimes has side effects of dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth. Rarely, Lyrica can cause suicidal ideation and severe agitation.
Potential for Feldetrex™
Our Feldetrex™ candidate drug will not compete with currently existing treatments of Fibromyalgia, but, rather, would be an add-on-drug to increase the effectiveness of treatment.

TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY
Description of Illness
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) occurs when an external force traumatically injures the brain. TBI is a major cause of death and disability worldwide, especially in children and young adults. Causes of TBI include falls, vehicle accidents, and violence. Three separate processes of Traumatic Brain Injury work to injure the brain: 1) bruising (bleeding), 2) tearing, and 3) swelling. Brain trauma can be caused by a direct impact or by acceleration alone. In addition to the damage caused at the moment of injury, brain trauma causes 'secondary injury' , a variety of events that take place in the minutes and days following the injury. These processes, which include alterations in the cerebral blood flow and the pressure within the skull contribute substantially to the damage from the initial injury. |
|
Each year, an estimated two million TBI-related deaths, hospitalizations, and emergency department visits occur in the United States. Of these patients, 56,000 die and 300,000 are hospitalized. 1.7 million patients are treated and released from an emergency department. 13
Conventional Method of Treatment
The present treatment methodology for Traumatic Brain Injury is centered on the treatment of symptoms. There are currently no treatments that target the underlying pathology of Traumatic Brain Injury.
Currently used medications used to treat Traumatic Brain Injury, such as narcotics and antidepressants, have many side effects including addiction, arrhythmia, liver and kidney damage, abdominal problems, nausea, and vomiting.
Potential for Feldetrex™
Our proprietary Feldetrex™ candidate drug has a mechanism of action via a manipulation of central nervous system neurotransmitters, which involves the cerebral cortex, limbic system, and spinothalamic tracts. Feldetrex™ utilizes a low dosage of Naltrexone which has been shown in multiple medical articles, in the medical literature, to increase endogenous enkephalins. We have not independently conducted medical or laboratory tests to show the mechanism of action of this medication.

Development Plans
Central Nervous System Disorders
Feldetrex™
Feldetrex™ , our candidate drug, is a treatment for decreasing the morbidity of Multiple Sclerosis patients. Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic, progressive illness that affects the nerves in the brain, spinal cord, and other parts of the central nervous system. Multiple Sclerosis affects over 400,000 people in the United States and may affect 2.5 million people worldwide. The licensor under our License Agreements has two pending provisional patent applications with variations featuring oral and/or possibly transdermal medication applications. We intend to compare the efficacy of Feldetrex™ to the standard injectable medications currently utilized to treat Multiple Sclerosis, such as Betaseron (Interferon beta-1b), Avonex (Interferon beta-1a), and Copaxone (Glatiramer acetate). Additionally, we plan on utilizing Feldetrex™ in peer reviewed medical studies at major medical centers to ascertain the efficacy of Feldetrex™ in symbiotically increasing the efficacy of the standard FDA approved Multiple Sclerosis injection drugs.
Feldetrex™ Development Plans
We don't have the financial ability to conduct the necessary clinical trials for FDA approval of our Feldetrex™ product candidate. We intend to enter into agreements with larger pharmaceutical companies as collaboration partners, in part to help cover the cost of such processes.
At the conclusion of the studies involving Feldetrex™ , we plan to publish the results in established medical journals and subsequently contact the large pharmaceutical firms for a possible sale or license of the rights to conduct clinical trials, manufacture, and distribute Feldetrex™ .
Infectious Diseases
The licensor under our License Agreements has filed a provisional patent application for the dialyzation of blood from a patient who is dying from septicemia. Septicemia is a rapidly fatal condition in which bacteria have infected the bloodstream of a patient. These patients subsequently suffer from rapid renal failure, encephalopathy, and heart failure unless the septicemia is quickly reversed. Each year approximately 200,000 Americans die from septicemia. 14 The traditional treatment of septicemia has been intravenous antibiotics, which have limited efficacy and are highly toxic.
Our method of treatment is to use an extracorporeal methodology of blood dialysis in which the bacteria-infected blood is sterilized through a proprietary methodology of dialyzation in which the blood is placed into contact with antibiotics within the dialysis lumen for a specified period, which subsequently kills the bacterial pathogen with a sequential removal of the antibiotic in order to negate any toxicity to the treated patient. We anticipate that this method could be utilized in place of the standard methodology or could be utilized as an adjunctive treatment for intensive care unit patients.

Development Plans
Initial concept experimentations began in 2012. After proof of concept experimentations, we intend to implement a clinical hospital/doctor test plan for patients using the same contacts developed in the studies described above for Feldetrex ™. We anticipate that these studies will be initiated after successful laboratory testing no earlier than 2014. Actual clinical trials with patients, conducted in conjunction with our collaboration partners, may continue for many years. We plan to contact the large medical firms, such as Johnson and Johnson, Pfizer, and Eli Lilly, to attempt to sell the rights to use our technology and conduct the anticipated clinical trials, beginning as early as mid-to-late 2014.
Oncology
The licensor under our License Agreements is currently developing applications for utilizing a proprietary methodology in which the cancer patient's blood is utilized to remove metastatic cancer cells. This is accomplished by dialyzing the patient's blood extracorporeally, and, through our proprietary methodology, placing the cancer cells in contact with anti-neoplastic agents within the lumen of the dialysis apparatus. We believe this extracorporeal methodology for cancer treatment has an enormous potentiality for decreasing the side effects of chemotherapy and irradiation treatment in cancer patients. Our methodology may also increase the efficacy of cancer treatment by allowing for much higher dosages of anti-neoplastic agents to be used through this extracorporeal methodology. Because this method completely avoids exposure of the patient's corpus to these anti-cancer agents, we believe dosages that cannot be normally tolerated can now be utilized in fighting the cancer.
Development Plans
We initiated laboratory tests to prove our cancer-fighting technology in late 2012. In 2013, we completed two breast oncology studies to test the effectiveness of a treatment proposed by Premier Biomedical, Inc. on small mice populations. Premier Biomedical, Inc. believes that the results of these studies will be published in a scientific journal in January 2014, although the results will ultimately be published at the discretion of the University of Texas at El Paso. We plan to undertake additional studies at a university/hospital during 2014. We estimate the cost for each of these studies to be between $300,000 and $500,000, including actual testing with cancer patients, which we anticipate funding from additional capital raises. At the anticipated successful conclusion of these studies, we plan to contact the large pharmaceutical/medical devices firms, such as Johnson & Johnson, Boston Scientific, Medtronics, Pfizer, and E. I. Lilly, to attempt to negotiate a partnership and/or sale of the technology.
Research and Development
Innovation by our research and development operations is very important to our success. Our goal is to discover, develop and bring to market innovative products and treatments that address major unmet medical needs, including initially, Multiple Sclerosis, Septicemia, and Cancer. We expect this goal to be supported by substantial research and development investments.
We plan on conducting research internally and may also through contracts with third parties, through collaborations with universities and biotechnology companies and in cooperation with pharmaceutical firms. We may also seek out promising compounds and innovative technologies developed by third parties to incorporate into our discovery or development methods and procedures or projects, as well as our future product lines, through acquisition, licensing or other arrangements.
In addition to discovering and developing new products, methods and procedures of treatment and treatments, we expect our research operations to add value to our existing products and methods and procedures of treatment in development by improving their effectiveness and by discovering new uses for them.
45 |
|
Marketing
Currently, we manage our marketing responsibilities internally. We intend to seek a partnership with and/or sale of our product candidates/technologies to large pharmaceutical and/or medical devices firms. These firms have the ability to effectively promote our product candidates to healthcare providers and patients. Through their marketing organizations, they can explain the approved uses, benefits and risks of our product candidates to healthcare providers, such as doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, hospitals, Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs), Managed Care Organizations (MCOs), employers and government agencies. They also market directly to consumers in the U.S. through direct-to-consumer advertising that communicates the approved uses, benefits, and risks of our product candidates while continuing to motivate people to have meaningful conversations with their doctors. In addition, they sponsor general advertising to educate the public on disease awareness, important public health issues, and patient assistance programs.
The large pharmaceutical/medical devices firms principally sell their products to wholesalers, but they also sell directly to retailers, hospitals, clinics, government agencies and pharmacies and also work with MCOs, PBMs, employers and other appropriate healthcare providers to assist them with disease management, patient education and other tools that help their medical treatment routines.
Patents and Intellectual Property Rights
We have licensed three U.S. patents: Sequential Extracorporeal Treatment of Bodily Fluids, U.S. Patent No. 9,216,386 and Utilization of Stents for the Treatment of Blood Borne Carcinomas, U.S. Patent No. 8,758,287 (both from Marv Enterprises, LLC), and Medication and Treatment for Disease, U.S. Patent No. 8,865,733 (from Altman Enterprises, LLC), in the areas of cancer, sepsis, and multiple sclerosis. We expect these patents to cover the medical treatments discussed above for Multiple Sclerosis, Blood Sepsis, and Cancer and be effective until 2029. Marv and Altman have licensed these technologies to us pursuant to the terms of the License Agreements. Because our license agreements cover the patents and "all applications of the United States and foreign countries that claim priority to the above PCT applications, including any non-provisionals, continuations, continuations-in-part, divisions, reissues, re-examinations or extensions thereof," we anticipate that other technologies that derive from these patents will also belong to us and are covered by the license agreements.
Patents extend for twenty years from the date of patent filing. The actual protection afforded by a patent, which can vary from country to country, depends upon the type of patent, the scope of its coverage and the availability of legal remedies in the country.
Dr. Felder is the owner of the Feldetrex mark, and has also licensed this to us pursuant to the terms of the License Agreements.
We expect our patent and related rights to be of material importance to our business.
46 |
|
Competition
Our business is conducted in an intensely competitive and often highly regulated market. Our treatments face competition in the form of branded drugs, generic drugs and the currently practiced treatments for Multiple Sclerosis, Blood Sepsis, and Cancer. The principal forms of competition include efficacy, safety, ease of use, and cost effectiveness. Where possible, companies compete on the basis of the unique features of their products, such as greater efficacy, better patient ease of use or fewer side effects. A lower overall cost of therapy is also an important factor. Products that demonstrate fewer therapeutic advantages must compete for inclusion based primarily on price. Though the means of competition vary among product categories, demonstrating the value of our medications and procedures will be a critical factor for our success.
Our competitors include large worldwide research-based drug companies, smaller research companies with more limited therapeutic focus, and generic drug manufacturers. We compete with other companies that manufacture and sell products that treat similar diseases as our major medications and procedures.
Environment
Our business may be subject to a variety of federal, state and local environmental protection measures. We intend to comply in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and regulations.
Regulation
We expect our business to be subject to varying degrees of governmental regulation in the United States and any other countries in which our operations are conducted. In the United States, regulation by various federal and state agencies has long been focused primarily on product safety, efficacy, manufacturing, advertising, labeling and safety reporting. The exercise of broad regulatory powers by the FDA continues to result in increases in the amounts of testing and documentation required for FDA clearance of new drugs and devices and a corresponding increase in the expense of product introduction. Likewise, the approval process with the FDA is estimated to take approximately seven (7) years from the time it is started. Similar trends are also evident in major markets outside of the United States.
Clinical trials are a set of procedures in medical research conducted to allow safety (or more specifically, information about adverse drug reactions and adverse effects of other treatments) and efficacy data to be collected for health interventions (e.g., drugs, diagnostics, devices, therapy protocols). These trials can take place only after satisfactory information has been gathered on the quality of the non- clinical safety, and Health Authority/Ethics Committee approval is granted in the country where the trial is taking place.
Depending on the type of product and the stage of its development, investigators enroll healthy volunteers and/or patients into small pilot studies initially, followed by larger scale studies in patients that often compare the new product with the currently prescribed treatment. As positive safety and efficacy data are gathered, the number of patients is typically increased. Clinical trials can vary in size from a single center in one country to multicenter trials in multiple countries.
47 |
|
Due to the sizable cost a full series of clinical trials may incur, the burden of paying for all the necessary people and services is usually borne by the sponsor who may be a governmental organization, a pharmaceutical , or biotechnology company. Since the diversity of roles may exceed resources of the sponsor, often a clinical trial is managed by an outsourced partner such as a contract research organization or a clinical trials unit in the academic sector.
The regulatory agencies under whose purview we intend to operate have administrative powers that may subject us to such actions as product withdrawals, recalls, seizure of products and other civil and criminal sanctions.
Because we intend to seek a partnership with and/or sale of our product candidates/technologies to large pharmaceutical and/or medical devices firms, we anticipate that a larger pharmaceutical company will undertake to navigate the regulatory pathway, including conducting clinical trials, for a product such as Feldetrex ™.
Employees
As of the date hereof, we do not have any employees other than our officers and directors. Our officers and directors will continue to work for us for the foreseeable future. We anticipate hiring appropriate personnel on an as-needed basis, and utilizing the services of independent contractors as needed.
ORGANIZATION WITHIN LAST FIVE YEARS
Premier Biomedical, Inc. was formed on May 10, 2010 in the State of Nevada.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
We do not currently lease or use any office space. We have not paid any amounts to Mr. Hartman for the use of his personal office or for reimbursement of personal office expenses incurred by him.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not a party to or otherwise involved in any legal proceedings.
In the ordinary course of business, we are from time to time involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations. However, in the opinion of our management, other than as set forth herein, matters currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Disclaimer Regarding Forward Looking Statements
You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included in this Form S-1. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Form S-1, particularly in the Section titled Risk Factors.
Although the forward-looking statements in this registration statement reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.
Summary Overview
We are a research-based company that intends to discover and develop medical treatments for humans, specifically targeting the treatment of Cancer, Al zheimer's Disease (AD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS/Lou Gehrig's Disease), Blood Sepsis, Leukemia, and other life-threatening cancers, Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, Neuropathic Pain and Traumatic Brain Injury .
We have not generated any revenue to date, and we do not currently have a product ready for market.
Going Concern
As a result of our financial condition, we have received a report from our independent registered public accounting firm for our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 that includes an explanatory paragraph describing the uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern. In order to continue as a going concern we must effectively balance many factors and begin to generate revenue so that we can fund our operations from our sales and revenues. If we are not able to do this we may not be able to continue as an operating company. At our current revenue and burn rate, our cash on hand will last less than one month, and thus we must constantly raise capital by issuing debt or through the sale of our stock. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to raise the necessary funds or that our existing cash flow will be adequate to satisfy our existing operating expenses and capital requirements.
Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014
Introduction
We had no revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. Our operating expenses were $140,247 and $2,253,664, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $247,042 and $734,722, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. This represents a decrease of $106,795, or 43% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 2014, and an increase of $1,518,942, or 206%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 2014. Our operating expenses consisted mostly of professional fees and research and development as we provided stock based compensation to service providers and continued to incur research and development costs.

Revenues
The Company was established on May 10, 2010, and has no revenues to date.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses were $59,734 and $233,407 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to $25,588 and $80,550 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, an increase of $34,146 and $152,857, or 133% and 190%. The expenses were the continued research and development costs through our partners, specifically the University of Texas at El Paso, incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 related to the development of our patented technologies, and increased because we resumed efforts that had been slowed down when our cash flow would not permit it. We anticipate that research and development costs will, on average, be consistent with the costs incurred in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses were $44,786 and $93,584 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to $113,769 and $201,883 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, a decrease of $68,983 and $108,299, or 61% and 54%. The decrease in both periods was primarily due to the elimination of certain advertising and promotion expenses, including travel, as we tried to reduce our expenses.
Professional Fees
Professional fees expense was $35,727 and $1,926,673 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to $107,685 and $452,289 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, a decrease of $71,958, or 67%, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 2014, and an increase of $1,474,384, or 326%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 2014. Amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 include the amortization of non-cash stock based compensation related to common stock warrants granted. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, professional fees also consisted of $1,810,368 of stock based compensation, consisting of $1,523,103 of amortization expense on warrants issued to officers and directors, and $287,264 of amortization expense on warrants issued to consultants, in addition to $116,305 of professional fees paid, or owed in cash , compared to $194,150 of stock based compensation related to the issuance of a total of 853,462 shares of common stock, including 480,000 shares that were subsequently issued during the fourth quarter of 2014, $49,751 of amortized warrant expenses related to issuances to independent contractors and approximately $139,459 of professional fees paid, or owed in cash, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Net Operating Loss
Net operating loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, was $140,247 and $2,253,664, respectively, compared to $247,042 and $734,722 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in net operating loss was $106,795, or 43%, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 2014, and an increase of $1,518,942, or 207%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 2014. Net operating loss decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 2014, because of decreased general and administrative expenses and professional fees as we tried to reduce our expenses, and increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 2014, primarily due to an increase in research and development expenses and compensation related to stock issuances for professional fees.
Other Expense
Other expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $48,508 and $139,086, respectively, as compared to $-0- and $29,455 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Other expense consisted of amortization of beneficial conversion feature on convertible notes of $74,988, amortization of warrants of $32,973, interest on convertible notes of $12,194, amortization of original issue discount on convertible notes of $11,243, and amortization of loan origination costs of $7,688 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to interest on related party loans of $29,455 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Net Loss
Net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, was $188,755, or ($0.01) per share, and $2,392,750, or $(0.11) per share, respectively, compared to $247,042, or $(0.01) per share, and $764,177, or ($0.04) per share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Net loss decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 2014, because of decreased general and administrative expenses and professional fees as we tried to reduce our expenses, and increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 2014, primarily due to an increase in research and development expenses and compensation related to stock issuances for professional fees.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Introduction
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, because we did not generate any revenues, we had negative operating cash flows. Our cash on hand as of September 30, 2015 was $73,393, which was derived from the sale of convertible promissory notes to investors. Our monthly cash flow burn rate for 2014 was approximately $53,000, although we do have some flexibility with the burn rate related to our research partners, as evidenced by our reduced burn rate of approximately $30,000 in 2015. Although we have moderate short term cash needs, as our operating expenses increase we will face strong medium to long term cash needs. We anticipate that these needs will be satisfied through the issuance of debt or the sale of our securities until such time as our cash flows from operations will satisfy our cash flow needs.
Our cash, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, and total liabilities as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, are as follows:

Our cash and total current assets decreased because, although we were able to raise capital from the sale of convertible notes, the amount raised was less than our cash used in operations. Our total current liabilities increased because of the sale of convertible notes, an increase in accounts payable. Our stockholders' deficit increased by $357,753 to $425,512.
In order to repay our obligations in full or in part when due, we will be required to raise significant capital from other sources. There is no assurance, however, that we will be successful in these efforts.
Cash Requirements
Our cash on hand as of September 30, 2015 was $73,393. Based on our lack of revenues and current monthly burn rate of approximately $30,000 per month, we will need to continue to fund operations by raising capital from the sale of our stock and debt financings.

Sources and Uses of Cash
Operations
We had net cash used in operating activities of $(269,206) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $(571,307) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the net cash used in operating activities consisted primarily of our net loss of $(764,177), a decrease in accounts payable of $(87,696), an increase in prepaid expenses of $8,637, and a decrease in accounts payable to related parties of $(21,161), offset by non-cash adjustments to our net loss, primarily $312,830 of stock based compensation.
Investments
We had zero net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September, 2015 and 2014.
Financing
Our net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, was $240,000, compared to $602,250 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, our financing activities consisted of proceeds from the sale of convertible note payables and notes payable to related parties.
Debt Instruments, Guarantees, and Related Covenants
On September 21, 2015, we received net proceeds of $45,000 in exchange for an 8% interest bearing; unsecured convertible promissory note dated September 3, 2015 with a face value of $48,000 ("First Vis Vires Note"), which matures on June 8, 2016. The principal and interest is convertible into shares of common stock at the discretion of the note holder at a price equal to the greater of fifty eight percent (58%) of the average of the three (3) lowest closing bid prices over the 10 days prior to conversion, or a fixed rate of $0.00001 per share. The note includes various prepayment penalties ranging from 112% through 130%, and default provisions of 150% of the then outstanding principal and interest, and an interest rate of 22% thereafter. The debt holder is limited to owning 4.99% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares. We must at all times reserve at least 20,250,000 shares of common stock for potential conversions.
On September 2, 2015, we received net proceeds of $50,000 in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured convertible promissory note with a face value of $55,000 ("First JMJ Note"), which matures on September 1, 2016, as part of a larger financing agreement that enables us to draw total proceeds of $250,000 at the discretion of the lender. The principal and interest is convertible into shares of common stock at the discretion of the note holder at a price equal to the greater of sixty percent (60%) of the lowest trading price of our common stock over the twenty five (25) trading days prior to the conversion request date, or a fixed rate of $0.00005 per share, as amended within the original promissory note on September 8, 2015 (In the case that conversion shares are not deliverable by DWAC an additional 10% discount will apply; and if the shares are ineligible for deposit into the DTC system and only eligible for Xclearing deposit an additional 5% discount shall apply; in the case of both an additional cumulative 15% discount shall apply). The note carries a one-time twelve percent (12%) of principal interest charge in the event of default, and the debt holder is limited to owning 4.99% of our issued and outstanding shares. The promissory note carries a $5,000 Original Issue Discount that is being amortized over the life of the loan on the straight line method, which approximates the effective interest method. We reserved at least 24 million shares of common stock for potential conversions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Introduction
During the year ended December 31, 2014, because we did not generate any revenues, we had negative operating cash flows. Our cash on hand as of December 31, 2014 was $102,599, which was derived from the sale of convertible promissory notes to investors. Our monthly cash flow burn rate has increased from approximately $35,000 in 2013 to approximately $53,000 in 2014. Although we have moderate short term cash needs, as our operating expenses increase we will face strong medium to long term cash needs. We anticipate that these needs will be satisfied through the issuance of debt or the sale of our securities until such time as our cash flows from operations will satisfy our cash flow needs.

Our cash increased by $86,799 as of December 31, 2014 as compared to December 31, 2013 because we were able to sell several convertible promissory notes. Our total current assets increased by $93,722 primarily for the same reason, plus a slight increase in prepaid expenses and loan origination costs. Our total assets increased by $95,142 primarily for the same reasons.
Our current liabilities decreased by $86,114 as of December 31, 2014 as compared to December 31, 2013 primarily due to a decrease in notes payable to related parties of $109,000 and a decrease in accounts payable to related parties of $14,573, offset in part by an increase in accounts payable of $25,157 and an increase in the current portion of convertible notes payable of $14,879. Our total liabilities decreased by the same $86,114 for the same reasons.
In order to repay our obligations in full or in part when due, we will be required to raise significant capital from other sources. There is no assurance, however, that we will be successful in these efforts.

Our cash on hand as of December 31, 2014 was $102,599, which was derived from the sale of convertible promissory notes. Our monthly cash flow burn rate is approximately $53,000.

Sources and Uses of Cash
Operations
Our net cash used in operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $639,077 and $428,190, respectively, an increase of $210,887, or 49%. The increase primarily consisted of our decreased net loss from operations of $3,466,634, offset in part by a decrease in stock based compensation of $787,813 and a decrease in stock based compensation to related parties of $2,829,504, which combined with other components, resulted in an increase in cash used in operating activities.

Investments
Our net cash used in investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $2,374 and $1,414, respectively, an increase of $960, or 68%. The slight increase reflected an increase in purchases of property and equipment of $960.
Financing
Our net cash provided by financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $728,250 and $405,120, respectively, an increase of $323,130, or 80%. The increase consisted of an increase in proceeds from the sale of convertible notes payable of $48,500, from $26,500 to $75,000, and an increase in the proceeds from the sale of common stock, primarily to Redwood, of $454,130, from $308,120 to $762,250, offset in part by an increase in repayments on notes payable to related parties of $106,000, from $3,000 to $109,000.
Debt Instruments, Guarantees, and Related Covenants
On November 25, 2014, we received an unsecured loan from Typenex Co-Investment, LLC (the "First Typenex Note") in the amount of $86,500, bearing interest at 10%, maturing on August 25, 2015, in exchange for net proceeds of $75,000 after the deduction of $4,000 of loan origination costs and an original issue discount ("OID") of $7,500. We also issued Typenex warrants to purchase 351,455 shares of common stock at a strike price of $0.18 per share over a five year term from the date of investment. The principal and interest is convertible into shares of common stock at the discretion of the note holder at the lesser of (i) $0.18 per share, or (ii) 70% (the "Conversion Factor") multiplied by the Market Price (as defined in the Note). If the Market Price of our common stock falls below $0.10 per share after the issuance of the Note, the Conversion Factor will automatically be reduced by 5% for all conversions completed while the Market Price is below $0.10 per share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no event of default has occurred, the Conversion Price shall be not less than $0.0001 (the "Conversion Floor"). The note can be prepaid upon notice to Typenex any time prior to the first conversion at a premium of 120% of the then outstanding balance of the Note. The note carries a default interest rate of 22% per annum.

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.
JOBS Act
We are an "emerging growth company" as defined in the recently-enacted JOBS Act, and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting and disclosure requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not "emerging growth companies." As an "emerging growth company" under the JOBS Act, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain reporting and disclosure requirements, which may make our future public filings different than that of other public companies.
58 |
|
Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an "emerging growth company" can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an "emerging growth company" can delay the adoption of certain new accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of the JOBS Act, that allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
We will remain an "emerging growth company" until the earliest of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which we had total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt, or (iv) the date on which we are deemed a "large accelerated filer" as defined under the federal securities laws.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We maintain cash balances in non-interest-bearing accounts, which do not currently exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
Patent Rights and Applications
Patent rights and applications costs include the acquisition costs and costs incurred for the filing of patents. Patent rights and applications are amortized on a straight-line basis over the legal life of the patent rights beginning at the time the patents are approved. Patent costs for unsuccessful patent applications, or when reviews determine a future economic benefit is uncertain, are expensed when the application is terminated. These circumstances did not result in a loss on disposal of patents during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, prepaid expenses and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheet are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short term nature of the instruments. The Company had no items that required fair value measurement on a recurring basis.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
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 common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the periods presented, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company adopted FASB guidance on stock based compensation upon inception at May 10, 2010. Under FASB ASC 718-10-30-2, all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The Company recognized $263,079 of compensation expense related to common stock issued for services and $491,307 of compensation expense related to common stock warrants issued for services, including $394,540 issued to related parties, during the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company recognized $1,051,609 of compensation expense related to common stock issued for services and $435,017 of compensation expense related to common stock warrants issued for services, including $79,923 related to the modification of warrants, during the year ended December 31, 2013.
Revenue Recognition
Sales on fixed price contracts are recorded when services are earned, the earnings process is complete or substantially complete, and the revenue is measurable and collectability is reasonably assured. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue from sales in which payment has been received, but the earnings process has not occurred. No sales have yet commenced.
Advertising and Promotion
All costs associated with advertising and promoting products are expensed as incurred. These expenses were $159,411 and $25,507 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not, that such asset will not be recovered through future operations.
60 |
|
Uncertain Tax Positions
In accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"), the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be capable of withstanding examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. These standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
Various taxing authorities periodically audit the Company's income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding the Company's tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income to various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures connected with these various tax filing positions, including state and local taxes, the Company records allowances for probable exposures. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an allowance has been established, is audited and fully resolved. The Company has not yet undergone an examination by any taxing authorities.
The assessment of the Company's tax position relies on the judgment of management to estimate the exposures associated with the Company's various filing positions.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period . The new guidance requires that share-based compensation that require a specific performance target to be achieved in order for employees to become eligible to vest in the awards and that could be achieved after an employee completes the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation costs should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this Update either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
61 |
|
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10: Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation , to improve financial reporting by reducing the cost and complexity associated with the incremental reporting requirements of development stage entities. The amendments in this update remove all incremental financial reporting requirements from U.S. GAAP for development stage entities, thereby improving financial reporting by eliminating the cost and complexity associated with providing that information. The amendments in this Update also eliminate an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity on the basis of the amount of investment equity that is at risk. The amendments to eliminate that exception simplify U.S. GAAP by reducing avoidable complexity in existing accounting literature and improve the relevance of information provided to financial statement users by requiring the application of the same consolidation guidance by all reporting entities. The elimination of the exception may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a reporting entity that has an interest in an entity in the development stage. The amendments related to the elimination of inception-to-date information and the other remaining disclosure requirements of Topic 915 should be applied retrospectively except for the clarification to Topic 275, which shall be applied prospectively. For public companies, those amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-10 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Director Compensation
On November 18, 2014, we issued warrants to the following officers and directors, which will allow them to purchase shares of our common stock in the amounts indicated: William Hartman (1,600,000 shares); Richard Najarian (1,200,000 shares); John Borza (1,200,000 shares); Justin Felder (1,200,000 shares); Jay Rosen (400,000 shares); Heidi Carl (1,400,000 shares); and Mitchell Felder (1,600,000 shares). One half of the shares underlying each of the respective warrants vest on January 15, 2015, with the balance vesting on June 15, 2015. In order for the warrants to vest on each of the foregoing dates, however, the holders must be serving in the same capacity on behalf of the Company as he or she was serving on November 18, 2014, i.e., the effective date of the grant. The issuance of the warrants was fully approved by our Board of Directors on December 9, 2014, the date a fully executed resolution authorizing the issuance was delivered to us, and issued on December 10, 2014.
On October 21, 2015, we issued warrants to the following officers and directors, which will allow them to purchase shares of our common stock in the amounts indicated: William Hartman (1,000,000 shares); Mitchell Felder (1,000,000 shares), Heidi Carl (750,000 shares), John Borza (600,000 shares), Richard Najarian (200,000 shares), and Jay Rosen (200,000 shares). One half of the shares underlying each of the respective warrants vest on June 15, 2016, with the balance vesting on December 15, 2016. In order for the warrants to vest on each of the foregoing dates, however, the holders must be serving in the same capacity on behalf of the Company as he or she was serving on October 21, 2015. The issuance of the warrants was fully approved by our Board of Directors on October 21, 2015, the date a fully executed resolution authorizing the issuance was delivered to us.
We do not currently have an established policy to provide compensation to members of our Board of Directors for their services in that capacity. We intend to develop such a policy in the near future.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Employment Agreements
Effective on September 28, 2012, we entered into employment agreements with our President and Chief Executive Officer, William A. Hartman, and our Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board, Dr. Mitchell S. Felder. In December 2012, the Company and Dr. Felder agreed to terminate his employment agreement, effective as of its date of inception.
Pursuant to the employment agreement with Hartman, he will be compensated in the amount of $150,000 per year for the duration of the agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, Hartman has waived the salary and the accrual thereof in exchange for being issued a Common Stock Purchase Warrant whereby Hartman may purchase a maximum of 105,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.45. The agreement has a one-year term and provides for two (2) years of severance in the event Hartman is terminated due to death, disability or without cause.
License Agreements
On May 12, 2010, we entered into two separate License Agreements. One License Agreement was entered into with Altman Enterprises, LLC, wherein we obtained certain exclusive rights in (i) proprietary technology that is the subject of one pending PCT patent application relating to the treatment of auto-immune diseases, and (ii) the "Feldetrex" trademark. The other License Agreement was entered into with Marv Enterprises, LLC, wherein we obtained certain exclusive rights in proprietary technology that is the subject of two PCT patent applications relating to the treatment of blood borne carcinomas and sequential extracorporeal treatment of blood. Authority to execute the License Agreements on behalf of Altman and Marv is vested in Dr. Mitchell S. Felder, the Chairman of our Board of Directors. Because the licensors are controlled by one of our directors, there may exist a conflict of interest in decisions made by the Company with respect to the licenses.
As consideration for the two licenses, we agreed to (i) pay a royalty of five percent (5%) of any sales of products using the technology, with no minimum royalty, and (ii) reimburse the licensor for any costs already incurred in pursuing its proprietary rights in the licensed technology and pay any costs incurred for maintaining or obtaining the licensors' proprietary rights in the licensed technology in the U.S. and in extending the intellectual property to other countries around the world. Licensor shall have sole discretion to select other countries into which exclusive rights in the licensed technology may be pursued, and if we decline to pay those expenses, then licensor may pay said expenses and our licensed rights in those countries will revert to the licensor.
As of September 30, 2015, we have not generated any revenues and thus have not paid any license fees. We have, however, paid $139,873 in reimbursement of expenses associated with the technology we have licensed, and owe them an additional $29,703.

Stock Issuances
Preferred Stock
On January 2, 2016, two of our officers and directors, William A. Hartman and Mitchell Felder, exercised warrants to acquire one million (1,000,000) shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock each. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, at the election of the holder thereof, into one (1) share of our common stock, and has one hundred (100) votes per share. We issued the warrants on June 21, 2010 and they have an exercise price of $0.001 per share.
The Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into one share of common stock for each share of Preferred Stock converted. The holders of our Preferred Stock also have 100 votes per share of Preferred Stock that they hold. It also contains protective provisions as follows:
The Company may not take any of the following actions without the approval of a majority of the holders of the outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock: (i) effect a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or which results in the holders of the Company's capital stock prior to the transaction owning less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Company's capital stock after the transaction, (ii) alter or change the rights, preferences, or privileges of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (iii) increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (iv) authorize the issuance of securities having a preference over or on par with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or (v) effectuate a forward or reverse stock split or dividend of the Company's common stock.

On February 20, 2013 and February 25, 2013, we sold an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, at a price of $0.05 per share, to three members of our Board of Directors as follows: Richard T.

Each Director received warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.45, vesting in two (2) tranches, on January 15, 2013 and June 15, 2013, each with the condition that the individual is a member of our Board of Directors on such date.

The issuances were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since the shareholder was a sophisticated investor, had access to the type of information that is normally available in a prospectus, and agreed not to resell or distribute the securities to the public.
Directors Notes
On December 2, 2013, we entered into a Directors Bridge Loan Agreement Promissory Note dated November 18, 2013 with each of William A. Hartman, one of our officers and directors, and John S. Borza, one of our directors. Pursuant to each Promissory Note, we borrowed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000). The principal amount of each Promissory Note, plus the Prepayment Premium (defined below), shall be due and payable on or before the earlier of (a) the date which is nine (9) months from the date of the note, or (b) three (3) business days following the receipt by us of funding (net of offering expenses, including finders fees, commissions, legal and other fees, and discounts) from any source, of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the "Maturity Date"). The Prepayment Premium shall be determined by multiplying the then-outstanding principal amount of the Promissory Note by the Prepayment Premium based on the following schedule:
No. of Days After Issue Date: |
|
Prepayment Premium: |
|
|
0-30 days |
|
|
115 | % |
31-60 days |
|
|
120 | % |
61-90 days |
|
|
125 | % |
91-120 days |
|
|
130 | % |
121 days or more |
|
|
135 | % |
In the event the Promissory Note is not prepaid prior to the Maturity Date, the Prepayment Premium of 135% shall apply. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount on an annual basis at a rate of eight percent (8.0%).
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Article 9 of our Articles of Incorporation provides that, the personal liability of the directors of the corporation is hereby eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by paragraph 1 of Section 78.037 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada, as the same may be amended and supplemented. Paragraph 1 of Section 78.037 states that the articles of incorporation of a Nevada corporation may contain any provision, not contrary to the laws of the State of Nevada, for the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the corporation.
Article 10 of our Articles of Incorporation provides that, the corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 78.751 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada, as the same may be amended and supplemented, indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have power to indemnify under said section from and against any and all expenses, liabilities, or other matters referred to in or covered by said section. Section 78.751 states that the articles of incorporation of a Nevada corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition. It further states that indemnification does not exclude any other rights that an officer or director may have pursuant to the articles, bylaws, shareholders agreement or otherwise, and that it continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, or employee of the company.
70 |
|
Article V of our Bylaws further addresses indemnification, including procedures for indemnification claims. Indemnification applies to any person that is made a party to, or threatened to be made a party to, any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she was an officer or director of the company.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited, condensed financial statements of Premier Biomedical, Inc. ("the Company") have been prepared pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, therefore, do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited financial statements. However, these statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
JOBS Act
We are an "emerging growth company" as defined in the recently-enacted JOBS Act, and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting and disclosure requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not "emerging growth companies." As an "emerging growth company" under the JOBS Act, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain reporting and disclosure requirements, which may make our future public filings different than that of other public companies.
Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an "emerging growth company" can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an "emerging growth company" can delay the adoption of certain new accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of the JOBS Act, that allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
We will remain an "emerging growth company" until the earliest of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which we had total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt or (iv) the date on which we are deemed a "large accelerated filer" as defined under the federal securities laws.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company maintains cash balances in non-interest-bearing accounts, which do not currently exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
Patent Rights and Applications
Patent rights and applications costs include the acquisition costs and costs incurred for the filing of patents. Patent rights and applications are amortized on a straight-line basis over the legal life of the patent rights beginning at the time the patents are approved. Patent costs for unsuccessful patent applications are expensed when the application is terminated.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, prepaid expenses and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheet are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short term nature of the instruments.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
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 common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the periods presented, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.
Stock-Based Compensation
Under FASB ASC 718-10-30-2, all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The Company's stock based compensation consisted of the following during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively:

Revenue Recognition
Sales on fixed price contracts are recorded when services are earned, the earnings process is complete or substantially complete, and the revenue is measurable and collectability is reasonably assured. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue from sales in which payment has been received, but the earnings process has not occurred. Sales have not yet commenced.
Advertising and Promotion
All costs associated with advertising and promoting products are expensed as incurred. These expenses were $40,874 and $150,821 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not, that such asset will not be recovered through future operations.

Uncertain Tax Positions
In accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"), the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be capable of withstanding examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. These standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
Various taxing authorities periodically audit the Company's income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding the Company's tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income to various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures connected with these various tax filing positions, including state and local taxes, the Company records allowances for probable exposures. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an allowance has been established, is audited and fully resolved. The Company has not yet undergone an examination by any taxing authorities.
The assessment of the Company's tax position relies on the judgment of management to estimate the exposures associated with the Company's various filing positions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) ("ASU 2015-03"), which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires an entity to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance will be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2015-03 on its balance sheets.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, and early application is not permitted. ASU 2014-09 allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. We do not expect the adoption of the new provisions to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
No other new accounting pronouncements, issued or effective during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, have had or are expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.
Note 2 - Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has no revenues, incurred net losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of $10,588,376, and had negative working capital of ($429,511) at September 30, 2015. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund short term operations. The Company, however, is dependent upon its ability to secure equity and/or debt financing and there are no assurances that the Company will be successful; therefore, without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The proceeds were subsequently received during the fourth quarter and therefore was recognized as a subscription receivable.
Note 4 - Patent Rights and Applications
The Company amortizes its patent rights and applications on a straight line basis over the expected useful technological or economic life of the patents, which is typically 17 years from the legal approval of the patent applications. The Company has elected to expense all of their patent rights and application costs due to difficulties associated with having to prove the value of their future economic benefits. All patent applications are currently pending and the Company has no patents that have yet been approved. It is the Company's policy that it performs reviews of the carrying value of its patent rights and applications on an annual basis.
On March 4, 2015, we entered into a Patent License Agreement ("PLA") with the University of Texas at El Paso ("UTEP") regarding our joint research and development of CTLA-4 Blockade with Metronomic Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Breast Cancer. This is the first PLA with UTEP following our Collaborative Agreement with them dated May 9, 2012, and memorializes the joint ownership of the applicable patent and the financial and other terms related thereto.
On June 19, 2015, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to this Agreement, pursuant to which we explicitly included Provisional Patent Application No. 62/161,116 entitled, "Anti-CTLA-4 Blockade" (the "Application") under the definition of "Patent Rights" as set forth in the PLA. The Application was filed with the United States Patent and Trademarks Office on May 13, 2015; the underlying technology was invented by Robert Kirken and Georgialina Rodriguez, and is solely-owned by The Board of Regents of The University of Texas System.

Note 5 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.
The Company has certain financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard. The Company's financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The following schedule summarizes the valuation of financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively:

On September 2, 2015, the Company received net proceeds of $50,000 in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured convertible promissory note with a face value of $55,000 ("First JMJ Note"), which matures on September 1, 2016, as part of a larger financing agreement that enables the Company to draw total proceeds of $250,000 at the discretion of the lender. The principal and interest is convertible into shares of common stock at the discretion of the note holder at a price equal to the greater of sixty percent (60%) of the lowest trading price of the Company's common stock over the twenty five (25) trading days prior to the conversion request date, or a fixed rate of $0.00005 per share, as amended within the original promissory note on September 8, 2015 (In the case that conversion shares are not deliverable by DWAC an additional 10% discount will apply; and if the shares are ineligible for deposit into the DTC system and only eligible for Xclearing deposit an additional 5% discount shall apply; in the case of both an additional cumulative 15% discount shall apply). The note carries a one-time twelve percent (12%) of principal interest charge in the event of default, and the debt holder is limited to owning 4.99% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares. The promissory note carries a $5,000 Original Issue Discount that is being amortized over the life of the loan on the straight line method, which approximates the effective interest method. The Company reserved at least 24 million shares of common stock for potential conversions. |

On February 24, 2015, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Adar Bays, LLC ("Adar Bays"), pursuant to which we sold to Adar Bays an 8% Convertible Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $44,100.00 (the "First Adar Note"). The Note has a maturity date of February 24, 2016, and is convertible after 180 days into our common stock at the higher of (i) $0.001 cents per share or (ii) 70% of the average of the two (2) lowest closing prices of our common stock for the fifteen (15) trading days prior to receipt of a conversion notice from Adar Bays. The shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Note will be restricted securities as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. The Note can be prepaid by us at a premium as follows: (a) between 1 and 30 days after issuance - 115% of the principal amount; (b) between 31 and 60 days after issuance - 121% of the principal amount; (c) between 61 and 90 days after issuance - 127% of the principal amount; (d) between 91 and 120 days after issuance - 133% of the principal amount; (e) between 121 and 150 days after issuance - 139% of the principal amount; and (f) between 151 and 180 days after issuance - 140% of the principal amount. There is no right to pre-payment after 180 days. The purchase and sale of the Note closed on March 2, 2015, the date that the purchase price was delivered to us. The note holder elected to convert a total of $7,000 of principal in exchange for 459,242 shares of common stock on September, 2015. |

In addition, the Company recognized and measured the embedded beneficial conversion feature present in the convertible debts by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of the feature to additional paid-in-capital. The intrinsic value of the feature was calculated on the commitment date using the effective conversion price of the convertible debt. This intrinsic value is limited to the portion of the proceeds allocated to the convertible debt.
The aforementioned accounting treatment resulted in debt discounts equal to $153,048 and $82,500 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively. The discount, including Original Issue Discounts of $11,037 and $7,500 and Warrant Discounts of $-0- and $37,981 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively, is amortized on a straight line basis from the dates of issuance until the earlier of the stated redemption date of the debts, as noted above or the actual settlement date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded debt amortization expense in the amount of $119,204 and $-0-, respectively, attributed to the aforementioned debt discounts.
The convertible notes, consisting of total original face values of $48,000 from Vis Vires Group, Inc., JMJ Financial $44,100, from Adar Bays, LLC, $82,687 from LG Capital Funding, LLC, and $86,500 from Typenex Co-Investment, LLC that created the beneficial conversion features carried a default provision that placed a "maximum share amount" on the note holder that can be owned as a result of the conversions to common stock by the note holder of 4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company.

Note 11 - Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740-10, which requires use of the liability method. FASB ASC 740-10-25 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company incurred a net operating loss and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. At September 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $2,512,000 and $1,930,314 of federal net operating losses, respectively. The net operating loss carry forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2031.
The components of the Company's deferred tax asset are as follows:

Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company's history of losses, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, respectively.
A reconciliation between the amounts of income tax benefit determined by applying the applicable U.S. and state statutory income tax rate to pre-tax loss is as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Premier Biomedical, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Premier Biomedical, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Premier Biomedical, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the periods described above in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has insufficient working capital, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business
Premier Biomedical, Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 10, 2010 ("Inception"). The Company was formed to develop and market medications and procedures that address a significant number of the most highly visible health issues currently affecting mankind. The Company will market these medications and procedures to leading worldwide pharmaceutical firms via publication in medical journals and by direct contact.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.
JOBS Act
We are an "emerging growth company" as defined in the recently-enacted JOBS Act, and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting and disclosure requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not "emerging growth companies." As an "emerging growth company" under the JOBS Act, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain reporting and disclosure requirements, which may make our future public filings different than that of other public companies.
Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an "emerging growth company" can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an "emerging growth company" can delay the adoption of certain new accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of the JOBS Act, that allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
We will remain an "emerging growth company" until the earliest of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which we had total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt or (iv) the date on which we are deemed a "large accelerated filer" as defined under the federal securities laws.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We maintain cash balances in non-interest-bearing accounts, which do not currently exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

Notes to Financial Statements
Patent Rights and Applications
Patent rights and applications costs include the acquisition costs and costs incurred for the filing of patents. Patent rights and applications are amortized on a straight-line basis over the legal life of the patent rights beginning at the time the patents are approved. Patent costs for unsuccessful patent applications are expensed when the application is terminated.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, prepaid expenses and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheet are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short term nature of the instruments.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
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 common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the periods presented, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.
Stock-Based Compensation
Under FASB ASC 718-10-30-2, all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The Company's stock based compensation consisted of the following during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively:

Notes to Financial Statements
Revenue Recognition
Sales on fixed price contracts are recorded when services are earned, the earnings process is complete or substantially complete, and the revenue is measurable and collectability is reasonably assured. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue from sales in which payment has been received, but the earnings process has not occurred. Sales have not yet commenced.
Advertising and Promotion
All costs associated with advertising and promoting products are expensed as incurred. These expenses were $159,411 and $25,507 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not, that such asset will not be recovered through future operations.
Uncertain Tax Positions
In accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"), the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be capable of withstanding examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. These standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
Various taxing authorities periodically audit the Company's income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding the Company's tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income to various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures connected with these various tax filing positions, including state and local taxes, the Company records allowances for probable exposures. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an allowance has been established, is audited and fully resolved. The Company has not yet undergone an examination by any taxing authorities.
The assessment of the Company's tax position relies on the judgment of management to estimate the exposures associated with the Company's various filing positions.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period . The new guidance requires that share-based compensation that require a specific performance target to be achieved in order for employees to become eligible to vest in the awards and that could be achieved after an employee completes the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation costs should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this Update either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10: Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation , to improve financial reporting by reducing the cost and complexity associated with the incremental reporting requirements of development stage entities. The amendments in this update remove all incremental financial reporting requirements from U.S. GAAP for development stage entities, thereby improving financial reporting by eliminating the cost and complexity associated with providing that information. The amendments in this Update also eliminate an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity on the basis of the amount of investment equity that is at risk. The amendments to eliminate that exception simplify U.S. GAAP by reducing avoidable complexity in existing accounting literature and improve the relevance of information provided to financial statement users by requiring the application of the same consolidation guidance by all reporting entities. The elimination of the exception may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a reporting entity that has an interest in an entity in the development stage. The amendments related to the elimination of inception-to-date information and the other remaining disclosure requirements of Topic 915 should be applied retrospectively except for the clarification to Topic 275, which shall be applied prospectively. For public companies, those amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-10 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11: Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The new guidance requires that unrecognized tax benefits be presented on a net basis with the deferred tax assets for such carryforwards. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013. We do not expect the adoption of the new provisions to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Note 2 - Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has no revenues, incurred net losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of $8,195,626, and had negative working capital of ($72,868) at December 31, 2014. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing new products and services to begin generating revenues. In addition, the Company is currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund short term operations. The Company, however, is dependent upon its ability to secure equity and/or debt financing and there are no assurances that the Company will be successful; therefore, without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 4 - Patent Rights and Applications
The Company amortizes its patent rights and applications on a straight line basis over the expected useful technological or economic life of the patents, which is typically 17 years from the legal approval of the patent applications. As of January 1, 2013, the Company has elected to expense all of their patent rights and application costs due to difficulties associated with having to prove the value of their future economic benefits. All patent applications are currently pending and the Company has no patents that have yet been approved. It is the Company's policy that it performs reviews of the carrying value of its patent rights and applications on an annual basis.
Note 5 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.
The Company has certain financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard. The Company's financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

On November 25, 2014, the Company received an unsecured loan from Typenex Co-Investment, LLC ("First Typenex Note") in the amount of $86,500, bearing interest at 10%, maturing on August 25, 2015, in exchange for net proceeds of $75,000 after the deduction of $4,000 of loan origination costs and an original issue discount ("OID") of $7,500. The Company also issued Typenex warrants to purchase 351,455 shares of common stock at a strike price of $0.18 per share over a five year term from the date of investment. The principal and interest is convertible into shares of common stock at the discretion of the note holder at the lesser of (i) $0.18 per share, or (ii) 70% (the "Conversion Factor") multiplied by the Market Price (as defined in the Note). If the Market Price of our common stock falls below $0.10 per share after the issuance of the Note, the Conversion Factor will automatically be reduced by 5% for all conversions completed while the Market Price is below $0.10 per share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred, the Conversion Price shall be not less than $0.0001 (the "Conversion Floor"). For the avoidance of doubt, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Conversion Floor shall not apply to any future Conversions and shall be of no further force or effect. The note can be prepaid upon notice to Typenex any time prior to the first conversion at a premium of 120% of the then outstanding balance of the Note. The note carries a default interest rate of 22% per annum. |

In addition, the Company recognized and measured the embedded beneficial conversion feature present in the convertible debts by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of the feature to additional paid-in-capital. The intrinsic value of the feature was calculated on the commitment date using the effective conversion price of the convertible debt. This intrinsic value is limited to the portion of the proceeds allocated to the convertible debt.
The aforementioned accounting treatment resulted in total debt discounts equal to $37,019 and $23,236 during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The discount is amortized on a straight line basis from the dates of issuance until the earlier of the stated redemption date of the debts, as noted above or the actual settlement date. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded debt amortization expense in the amount of $4,882 and $23,236, respectively, attributed to the aforementioned debt discounts.
The convertible notes, consisting of total original face values of $86,500 from Typenex Co-Investment, LLC and $26,500 from LG Capital Funding, LLC that created the beneficial conversion features carried a default provision that placed a "maximum share amount" on the note holder that can be owned as a result of the conversions to common stock by the note holder of 4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company.
Typenex Co-Investment, LLC Convertible Note
On November 25, 2014, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Typenex Co-Investment, LLC, pursuant to which we sold to Typenex a 10% Convertible Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $86,500. The First Typenex Note had a maturity date of August 25, 2015, and was convertible into our common stock at the lesser of (i) $0.18 per share, or (ii) 70% (the "Conversion Factor") multiplied by the Market Price (as defined in the Note). If the Market Price of our common stock falls below $0.10 per share after the issuance of the Note, the Conversion Factor will automatically be reduced by 5% for all conversions completed while the Market Price is below $0.10 per share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred, the Conversion Price shall be not less than $0.0001 (the "Conversion Floor").

Note 9 - Equity Line of Credit
On January 17, 2014, the Company's registration statement became effective whereby it registered 15 million shares of common stock that it would sell to Kodiak Capital Group, LLC ("Kodiak") over time pursuant to an Investment Agreement entered into on December 5, 2013 wherein Kodiak agreed to invest up to five million dollars ($5,000,000). The offering was to terminate on the earlier of (i) when all 15 million shares are sold, (ii) when the maximum offering amount of $5,000,000 has been achieved, or (iii) on January 17, 2016, unless the Company terminated it earlier. The investment Agreement included a termination date of July 17, 2014, but on July 9, 2014 it was extended to run through July 17, 2015. On October 16, 2014, we exercised our right to terminate the contract upon written notice to Kodiak.
The Company could not submit a new put notice until after the closing of the previous notice. The purchase price for the shares pursuant to the put notice was to be equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the lowest closing best bid price of the common stock during the five consecutive trading days immediately following the date of our notice to Kodiak ("Put Notice") of our election to put shares pursuant to the Investment Agreement, subject to a limitation, whereby Kodiak's holdings could not exceed 9.9% of the outstanding shares of common stock. The shares had to be paid for and share certificates delivered within the "pricing period," which was five (5) trading days from the date the put notice is delivered ("Put Date").
On October 15, 2013, the Company paid to Kodiak an initial fee of $10,000 and issued 391,398 shares of common stock following execution of the Agreement, along with the issuance of another 167,742 shares to Manners, Inc. as commitment fees. In addition, the Company agreed to pay a consulting firm, Cambridge Partners Atlanta Group, LLC ("Cambridge"), an introduction fee payable as follows: (i) ten percent (10%) of the first $1,000,000 in total draws, (ii) seven percent (7%) on the draws from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000; and (iii) five percent (5%) on all draws in excess of $1,500,000. Cambridge was entitled to these introduction fees on all proceeds received from Kodiak until the termination date of the consulting agreement, which was September 26, 2015 until we exercised our right to terminate the contract on October 16, 2014.
The Company used the proceeds from the sale of common stock pursuant to the agreement to pay down debt, research and development activities, general corporate and working capital purposes, and for other purposes that the board of directors deems to be in the best interest of the Company.
As of the date of this report, the Company had sold a total of 2,022,894 shares of common stock in exchange for total proceeds of $700,000 pursuant to the investment agreement, in addition to the initial issuance of 559,140 common shares as a commitment fee.

Notes to Financial Statements
The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of short-term traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's series A preferred stock warrants have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its series A preferred stock warrants. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 there were no warrants granted with an exercise price below the fair value of the underlying stock at the grant date.
There were no series A preferred stock warrants granted during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Notes to Financial Statements
The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of short-term traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's common stock warrants have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its common stock warrants. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 there were no warrants granted with an exercise price below the fair value of the underlying stock at the grant date.
The weighted average fair value of warrants granted with exercise prices at the current fair value of the underlying stock was approximately $0.2256 and $0.4084 per warrant granted during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Note 12 - Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740-10, which requires use of the liability method. FASB ASC 740-10-25 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences.
For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred a net operating loss and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $1,930,314 and $1,306,637 of federal net operating losses, respectively. The net operating loss carry forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2031.
The components of the Company's deferred tax asset are as follows:
December 31, | December 31, | |||||||
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Deferred tax assets: |

Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company's history of losses, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
A reconciliation between the amounts of income tax benefit determined by applying the applicable U.S. and State statutory income tax rate to pre-tax loss is as follows:

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Article 9 of our Articles of Incorporation provides that, the personal liability of the directors of the corporation is hereby eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by paragraph 1 of Section 78.037 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada, as the same may be amended and supplemented. Paragraph 1 of Section 78.037 states that the articles of incorporation of a Nevada corporation may contain any provision, not contrary to the laws of the State of Nevada, for the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the corporation.
Article 10 of our Articles of Incorporation provides that, the corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 78.751 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada, as the same may be amended and supplemented, indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have power to indemnify under said section from and against any and all expenses, liabilities, or other matters referred to in or covered by said section. Section 78.751 states that the articles of incorporation of a Nevada corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition. It further states that indemnification does not exclude any other rights that an officer or director may have pursuant to the articles, bylaws, shareholders agreement or otherwise, and that it continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, or employee of the company.
Article V of our Bylaws further addresses indemnification, including procedures for indemnification claims. Indemnification applies to any person that is made a party to, or threatened to be made a party to, any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she was an officer or director of the company.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Undertakings
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
A.
B.
(1) |
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
|
(a) |
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
|
|
|||
|
(b) |
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (Section 230.424(b) of Regulation S-K) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and |
|
|
|||
|
(c) |
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. |
(2) |
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
|
(3) |
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
|
(4) |
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser: |
|
(i) |
If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B (§230.430B of this chapter): |
|
|
(a) |
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) (§230.424(b)(3) of this chapter) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and |
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(b) |
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) (§230.424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) of this chapter) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) (§230.415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) of this chapter) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or |
85 |
|
|
(ii) |
If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C (§230.430C of this chapter), each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (§230.430A of this chapter), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
(5)
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§230.424 of this chapter);
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a " Notice of Conversion "), specifying therein the principal amount of this Note to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the " Conversion Date "). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required.To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless the entire principal amount of this Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Company shall maintain a Conversion Schedule showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s). The Company may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within one (1) Business Day of delivery of such Notice of Conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b)
Conversion Price
. The conversion price (the "
Conversion Price
") in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to 60% of the lowest traded price of the Common Stock in the fifteen (15) Trading Days prior to the Conversion Date; provided that, except in the event the Alternative Conversion Price is applicable pursuant to the following sentence, the Conversion Price shall not be lower than $0.00005. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default the Holder may require the Company to, at such Holder's option and otherwise in accordance with the provisions for conversion herein, convert all or any part of this Note into Common Stock at the Alternative Conversion Price. All such foregoing determinations will be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction that proportionately decreases or increases the Common Stock during such measuring period. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6 hereof and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
7
c) Mechanics of Conversion .
i.
Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount
. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Note to be converted and any accrued and unpaid interest to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price.
ii. Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion . Not later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the " Share Delivery Date "), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder (A) a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares which, on or after the date on which such Conversion Shares are eligible to be sold under Rule 144 without the need for current public information and the Company has received an opinion of counsel to such effect reasonably acceptable to the Company (which opinion the Company will be responsible for obtaining) shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those which may then be required by the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Note, and (B) payment in the amount of accrued and unpaid interest (if the Company has elected or is required to pay accrued interest in cash). All certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this Section 4(d) shall be delivered electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. If the Conversion Date is prior to the date on which such Conversion Shares are eligible to be sold under Rule 144 without the need for current public information the Conversion Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form, as appropriate:
|
"NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES." |
|
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing on such date that the Conversion Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 subject to current public information requirements, the Company, upon request of the Holder, shall obtain a legal opinion to allow for such sales under Rule 144. |
|
iii. Failure to Deliver Certificates . If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Note delivered to the Company and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company the Common Stock certificates issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.
iv. Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages . The Company's obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided , however , that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder of this Note shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal or interest amount hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii) by the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, $1000 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after such Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6 hereof for the Company's failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

v. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion . In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder's brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a " Buy-In "), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(c)(ii). For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Note with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
vi. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion . The Company covenants that it will, beginning with the earlier of the Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) or the Rule 144 Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to 300% of the Required Minimum for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note and payment of interest on this Note, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Notes), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 5) upon the conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of this Note and payment of interest hereunder. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
vii. Fractional Shares . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.
viii. Transfer Taxes and Expenses . The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Note so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion.

d) Holder's Conversion Limitations . The Company shall not effect any conversion of principal and/or interest of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any principal and/or interest of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder's Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder's Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Notes) beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(d) applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder's determination of whether this Note may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and which principal amount of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company's most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company's transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The " Beneficial Ownership Limitation " shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days' prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(e) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61 st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

Section 5 . Certain Adjustments .
a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of, or payment of interest on, the Notes), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re classification.
b) Subsequent Equity Sales . If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Conversion Price (such lower price, the " Base Conversion Price " and such issuances, collectively, a " Dilutive Issuance ") (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Conversion Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 5(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 5(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the " Dilutive Issuance Notice "). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 5(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder will be entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Conversion Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.
c) Subsequent Rights Offerings . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 5(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the " Purchase Rights "), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
12 |
|
d) Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) the Company , directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company , directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company , directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, (v) the Company , directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination ) (each a " Fundamental Transaction "), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(e) on the conversion of this Note), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the " Alternate Consideration ") receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(d) on the conversion of this Note). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the " Successor Entity ") to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the Purchase Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Note, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Note a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Note immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
e)
Calculations
. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.
13

If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.
19
g) Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company's compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note.
h) Next Business Day . Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
i) Headings . The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Note and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
