CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are considered forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) concerning our business, results of operations, economic performance and/or financial condition, based on management’s current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and projections. Forward-looking statements are included, for example, in the discussions about:

 

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

 

Any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “estimates,” “aims,” “plans,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “will continue,” “seeks,” “should,” “predict,” “potential,” “outlook,” “guidance,” “target,” “forecast,” “probable,” “possible” or the negative of such terms and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to change and may be affected by risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond our control. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement in light of new information or future events, except as required by law, although we intend to continue to meet our ongoing disclosure obligations under the U.S. securities laws and other applicable laws.

 

We caution you that a number of important factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements, and therefore you should not place too much reliance on them. These factors include, among others, those described herein, under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report and in our other public reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors, and therefore the factors that are noted are not intended to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties that may affect forward-looking statements. If these or other risks and uncertainties materialize, or if the assumptions underlying any of the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, our actual performance and future actions may be materially different from those expressed in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements. We can offer no assurance that our estimates or expectations will prove accurate or that we will be able to achieve our strategic and operational goals.

 

Forward-looking statements are based on information we have when those statements are made or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

 

  our lack of operating history;
  our current and future capital requirements and our ability to satisfy our capital needs;
  our inability to keep up with industry competition;

 

3

 

 

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

 

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

 

JUMPSTART OUR BUSINESS STARTUPS ACT

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 101 of the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) as we do not have more than $1,000,000,000 in annual gross revenue and did not have such amount as of December 31, 2018, the last day of our last fiscal year. We are electing to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act.

 

As an emerging growth company, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:

 

  being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this annual report;
  not being requested to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”);
  reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; and
  exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (i) our reporting $1 billion or more in annual gross revenues; (ii) the end of fiscal year 2019; (iii) our issuance, in a three year period, of more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; and (iv) the end of the fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.

Immune Therapeutics, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2018

(Unaudited)

 

1. Organization and Description of Business

 

Immune Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) was initially incorporated in Florida on December 2, 1993 as Resort Clubs International, Inc. (“Resort Clubs”). It was formed to manage and market golf course properties in resort markets throughout the United States. Galliano International Ltd. (“Galliano”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 27, 1998 and began trading in November 1999 through the filing of a 15C-211. On November 10, 2004, Galliano merged with Resort Clubs. Resort Clubs was the surviving corporation. On August 23, 2010, Resort Clubs changed its name to pH Environmental Inc. (“pH Environmental”).

 

On April 23, 2012, pH Environmental completed a name change to TNI BioTech, Inc., and on April 24, 2012, we executed a share exchange agreement for the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of TNI BioTech IP, Inc. On September 4, 2014, a majority of our shareholders approved an amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to change our name to Immune Therapeutics, Inc. We filed our name change amendment with the Secretary of State of Florida on October 27, 2014 changing our name to Immune Therapeutics, Inc.

 

The Company currently operates out of Orlando, Florida. In July 2012, the Company’s focus turned to acquiring patents that would protect and advance the development of new uses of opioid-related immune- therapies, such as low dose naltrexone (“LDN”) and Methionine [Met5]-enkephalin (“MENK”). The Company’s therapies are believed to stimulate and/or regulate the immune system in such a way that they provide the potential to treat a variety of diseases. We believe our therapies may be able to correct abnormalities or deficiencies in the immune system in diseases such as HIV infection, autoimmune disease, immune disorders, or cancer; all of which can lead to disease progression and life-threatening situations when the immune system is not functioning optimally.

 

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

 

In August 2013, the Company formed its United Kingdom subsidiary, TNI BioTech, LTD (the “UK Subsidiary”). The UK Subsidiary received approval to be considered a micro, small or medium-sized enterprise (“SME”) with the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) on August 21, 2013. The designation provides the UK Subsidiary with significant discounts when holding meetings or submitting filings to the EMA. On September 19, 2013, the UK Subsidiary submitted a pre-submission package to the EMA regarding Crohn’s Disease. The EMA granted the UK Subsidiary a meeting that took place on September 27, 2013. The UK Subsidiary is eligible to benefit from the provisions for administrative and financial assistance for SMEs set out in Regulation (EC) No 2049/2005. The Company will apply to obtain EMA benefits once funding becomes available.

 

In December 2013, the Company formed a subsidiary, Cytocom Inc., to focus on conducting LDN and MENK clinical trials in the United States. In December 2014, the Company finalized the distribution of common stock of Cytocom Inc. to its shareholders. As part of the transaction, the Company transferred to Cytocom certain of its rights, title and interest in or relating to intellectual property (i) patents, patent applications, and all divisional, continuations and continuations-in-part thereof, together with all reissues, reexaminations, renewals and extensions thereof and all rights to obtain such divisionals, continuations and continuations-in-part, reissues, reexaminations, renewals and extensions, and all utility models and statutory invention registrations and any other such analogous rights, (ii) trademarks, service marks, Internet domain names, trade dress, trade styles, logos, trade names, services names, brand names, corporate names, assumed business names and general intangibles and other source identifiers of a like nature, together with the goodwill associated with any of the foregoing, and all registrations and applications for registrations thereof, together with all renewals and extensions thereof and all rights to obtain such renewals and extensions, (iii) copyrights, mask work rights, database and design rights, moral rights and rights in Internet websites, whether registered or unregistered and whether published or unpublished, all registrations and recordings thereof and all applications in connection therewith, together with all renewals, continuations, reversions and extensions thereof and all rights to obtain such renewals, continuations, reversions and extensions, and (iv) confidential and proprietary information, including, trade secrets and know-how. Cytocom licensed back to the Company a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free right and license to use the assigned intellectual property for veterinary indications and for the marketing rights to emerging markets, access to all clinical data, use of the formulation for LDN and MENK. The parties have informally agreed that until such time as Cytocom was funded, the Company would be responsible for all payments to employees, ongoing general and administrative expenses, licensing fees, patent fees, and drug development costs. When Cytocom becomes self-sustaining and fully funded, it expects to reimburse the Company for all funds spent by the Company since the spin-out.

On December 8, 2014, the number of Cytocom Inc. shares of common stock that were issued to our shareholders totaled 113,242,522 shares. In connection with the transaction, Cytocom Inc. issued 140,100,000 shares of its common stock to the Company, which gave the Company a 55.3% stake in Cytocom Inc. on that date. In April 2016, the Board of Directors and a majority of shareholders of Cytocom approved a reverse stock split of Cytocom’s outstanding common stock with one new share of stock for each twenty old shares of common stock. Cytocom effectuated and finalized the reverse split in June 2016. At December 31, 2017, the Company’s equity interest had been further reduced to 9.3%, by subsequent issuances of Cytocom common stock.

 

In March 2014, the Company incorporated Airmed Biopharma Limited, an Irish corporation with an address in Dublin, Ireland, and Airmed Holdings Limited, an Irish company domiciled in Bermuda. The Irish companies were set up to benefit from incentives granted by the Irish government for the establishment of pharmaceutical companies (many of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies have located in Ireland), and so that the Company could take advantage of Ireland’s status as a member of the European Union and the European Economic Area. An Irish limited liability company enjoys a low corporate income tax rate of 12.5%, one of the lowest in the world. The Irish-domiciled company hopes to qualify for tax incentives for Irish holding/headquartered companies and to benefit from the network of double tax treaties that reduce withholding taxes. TNI BioTech International, Ltd. will manage our international distribution, using product that is manufactured in Ireland and elsewhere.

 

Today, Immune Therapeutics is focused on the commercialization of affordable non-toxic immunotherapies focused on the activation and rebalancing of the body’s immune system. Stimulating the body’s immune system remains one of the most promising approaches in the treatment of Cancers, HIV, Autoimmune Diseases, inflammatory conditions and other opportunistic infections for chronic often life-threatening diseases through the mobilization of the body’s immune system in Emerging Nations using existing clinical data.

 

Cytocom Inc, is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development of the first affordable non-toxic immunodulator for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, immune-related disorders, and cancer and is responsible for the development of our patented therapies with the FDA and EMA.

 

As of this date, neither we nor our collaboration partners are permitted to market our drug candidates in the United States until we receive approval of a New Drug Application from the FDA. Neither we nor our collaboration partners have submitted an application for or received marketing approval for any of our drug candidates. Obtaining approval of an NDA can be a lengthy, expensive and uncertain process.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company experienced a net loss from operations of $988,255, and used cash and cash equivalents for operations in the amount of $455,816 during the quarter ended March 31, 2018, resulting in stockholder’s deficit of $11,158,882 at that date.

 

The Company has incurred significant net losses since inception and has relied on its ability to fund its operations through private equity financings. Management expects operating losses and negative cash flows to continue at more significant levels in the future. As the Company continues to incur losses, transition to profitability is dependent upon the successful development, approval, and commercialization of its product candidate and the achievement of a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. The Company may never achieve profitability, and unless and until it does, the Company will continue to need to raise additional cash. Management intends to fund future operations through the sale of products, additional private or public debt or equity offerings, and it may also seek additional capital through arrangements with strategic partners or from other sources. Based on the Company’s operating plan, existing working capital at March 31, 2018 was not sufficient to meet the cash requirements to fund planned operations for the next 12 months without additional sources of cash. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise indicated) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been made. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2017 (including the notes thereto) set forth in Form 10-K.

 

The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 101 of the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) as we do not have more than $1,000,000,000 in annual gross revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016. We are electing to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue on sales to customers and distributors upon satisfaction of our performance obligations when the goods are shipped. For consignment sales, we recognize revenue when the goods are pulled from consignment inventory.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This standard provides a single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be used across all industries and requires additional disclosures. It is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We believe the new standard will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations, as we do not expect to change the manner or timing of recognizing revenue on a majority of our revenue transactions once we commence revenue-generating activities.

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This standard requires all leases that have a term of over 12 months to be recognized on the balance sheet with the liability for lease payments and the corresponding right-of-use asset initially measured at the present value of amounts expected to be paid over the term. Recognition of the costs of these leases on the income statement will be dependent upon their classification as either an operating or a financing lease. Costs of an operating lease will continue to be recognized as a single operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Costs for a financing lease will be disaggregated and recognized as both an operating expense (for the amortization of the right-of-use asset) and interest expense (for interest on the lease liability). This standard will be effective for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2019, and must be applied on a modified retrospective basis to leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the potential impact of this standard on our financial position, but we do not expect it to have a material impact on our results of operations.

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments

 

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

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents. The Company is exposed to credit risk, subject to federal deposit insurance, in the event of a default by the financial institutions holding its cash and cash equivalents to the extent of amounts recorded on the balance sheets. The cash accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At March 31, 2018, the Company had no cash balances in excess of insured limits.

 

Segment and Geographic Information

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one operating segment and does not segment the business for internal reporting or decision making.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

In accordance with the reporting requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 825, “ Financial Instruments” , the Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under this standard and includes this additional information in the notes to the financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. Cash and accounts payable are accounted for at cost which approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of notes payable also approximate fair value since they bear market rates of interest and other terms. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. In general, fair values of financial instruments are based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the customer’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost based on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory that can be used in either the production of clinical or commercial products is expensed as research and development costs when identified for use in a clinical trials or clinical manufacturing campaigns.

 

13

 

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is determined on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally range from three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged against expense as incurred. Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017 was $433 and $144, respectively.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or change in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable as prescribed by ASC Topic 360-10-05, “ Property, Plant and Equipment .” If the carrying amount of the asset, including any intangible assets associated with that asset, exceeds its estimated undiscounted net cash flow, before interest, the Company will recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between its carrying amount and its estimated fair value.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

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

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

The standard addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC Topic 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. At the date of adoption, and as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax uncertainties.

 

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2018, and 2017, the Company has not accrued any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

 

In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , which amends ASC Topic 220, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income. This ASU allows for tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to be reclassified as retained earnings. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this guidance may have on its financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and disclosures.

Stock-Based Compensation and Issuance of Stock for Non-Cash Consideration

 

The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values equaling either the market value of the shares issued or the value of consideration received, whichever is more readily determinable. The majority of the non-cash consideration pertains to services rendered by consultants and others and has been valued at the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of the agreement.

 

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

 

Non-controlling Interest

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation , the Company consolidates Cytocom, Inc. The non-controlling interests in Cytocom represent the interests of outside shareholders in the equity and results of operations of Cytocom.

 

Net Loss per Share of Common Stock

 

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

 

A calculation of basic net loss per share follows:

 

    For the three months ended
March 31,
 
    2018     2017  
Historical net loss per share:                
Numerator                
Net loss   $ (731,938 )   $ (2,705,933 )
Non-controlling interest     (121,285 )     (136,563 )
Net loss attributed to Common stockholders   $ (610,653 )   $ (2,569,370 )
                 
Denominator                
Weighted-average common shares outstanding—Denominator for basic net loss per share     387,621,835       259,291,541  
Basic net loss per share attributed to common stockholders   $ (0.00 )   $ (0.01 )

 

The Company’s potential dilutive securities, which include warrants, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share.

 

The following shares of potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computations of diluted weighted average shares outstanding as the effect of including such securities would be antidilutive:

 

15

 

 

    For the three months ended
March 31,
 
    2018     2017  
Warrants to purchase Common stock     126,670,720       52,525,237  

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

3. Fixed Assets

 

    March 31, 2018     December 31, 2017  
Fixed Assets:                
Computer equipment   $ 13,214     $ 11,243  
Less accumulated depreciation     (9,148 )     (8,714 )
Fixed assets, net   $ 4,066     $ 2,529  

 

The Company utilizes the straight-line method for depreciation, using three to five-year depreciable asset lives. Depreciation expense was not material for all periods presented.

 

4. Accrued Liabilities

 

Accrued expenses and other liabilities consist of the following:

6. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, notes payable aggregating $0 were issued as convertible debt or became convertible and qualified as a derivative liability under FASB ASC 815. In the first quarter 2018, notes payable with a derivative liability of $243,199 were converted, and the derivative liability on other notes payable was revalued from $1,426,333 to $931,519.

 

As of March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the aggregate fair value of the outstanding derivative liability was $931,519 and $1,669,532 respectively. The Company estimated the fair value of the derivative liability using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following key assumptions during the quarter ended March 31, 2018:

 

    Three months ended
March 31, 2018
 
Volatility     431.57 %
Risk-free interest rate     2.30 %
Expected dividends     - %
Expected term     1 year  

 

The Company determines the fair market values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The following three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
   
Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
   
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company uses Level 3 inputs to estimate the fair value of its derivative liabilities.

 

The following schedule summarizes the valuation of financial instruments at fair value in the balance sheets as of March 31, 2018:

 

    Fair Value Measurements as of
March 31, 2018
 
    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3

8. Stock Compensation

 

Shares Issued for Services

 

During the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company issued 2,863,640 and 6,045,460 shares of common stock respectively for consulting fees. The Company valued these shares at $198,477 and $365,455 respectively, based upon the fair market value of the common stock at the dates of the agreements. The consulting fees are amortized over the contract periods which are typically between 12 and 24 months. The amortization of prepaid services totaled $125,000 and $365,834 for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

9. Income Taxes - Results of Operations

 

There was no income tax expense reflected in the results of operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 because the Company incurred a net loss in both quarters.

 

On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“U.S. Tax Reform”), which enacts a wide range of changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system. The impact of U.S. Tax Reform primarily represents the Company’s estimates of revaluing the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to be recognized in the future. For U.S. federal purposes the corporate statutory income tax rate was reduced from 35% to 21%, effective for the 2018 tax year. Based on the Company’s historical financial performance, at December 31, 2017, the net deferred tax asset position was re-measured at the lower corporate rate of 21% and a tax expense was recognized to adjust net deferred tax assets to the reduced value.

The Company has recognized no tax benefit for the losses generated for the periods through March, 2018. ASC Topic 740 requires that a valuation allowance be provided if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company’s ability to realize the benefit of its deferred tax asset will depend on the generation of future taxable income. Because the Company has yet to recognize revenue, we believe that the full valuation allowance should be provided.

 

Our effective tax rate for fiscal years 2018 and 2017 was 0%. Our tax rate can be affected by recurring items, such as tax rates in foreign jurisdictions and the relative amount of income we earn in jurisdictions. It may also be affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year, but are not consistent from year to year.

 

At December 31, 2017, we had estimated federal and state income tax net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forwards of approximately $86,000,000, which will expire in 2032-2037.

10. Licenses and Supply Agreements

 

Patent and Subsidiary Acquisition

 

The Company entered into a share exchange agreement on April 24, 2012 to acquire all of the outstanding shares of TNI BioTech IP, Inc. (“TNI IP”), a biotechnology firm incorporated in Florida and formed to acquire patents related to the treatment of cancer and HIV/AIDS and autoimmune diseases, using Met-enkephalin (“MENK”) and Naltrexone (“LDN”). The goal of TNI IP’s management was to enable mankind and civilization to combat fatal diseases by activating and mobilizing the body’s own immune system using TNI IP’s patented use of MENK. The first patents acquired by TNI IP were acquired from Dr. Nicholas P. Plotnikoff and Professor Fengping Shan in 2012. TNI IP was acquired in exchange for 20,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, of which 8,000,000 shares were issued to Dr. Plotnikoff for the acquisition of patents and the remaining 12,250,000 shares were issued to the founders of TNI IP in exchange for all of their right, title and interest in their TNI IP shares. The goodwill arising on the acquisition of TNI BioTech IP, Inc. was valued at $98,000,000 and license agreements arising from the acquisition of TNI IP were valued at $16,006,000.

 

In connection with the share exchange, we entered into a Sale of Technology Agreement with Dr. Nicholas P. Plotnikoff on March 4, 2012, wherein Dr. Plotnikoff agreed to transfer and assign all of his rights, title and interest in: European Patent United Kingdom, Germany, France, Ireland EP 1401471 BI Methods for inducing sustained immune response; Russian Patent Russian Federation patent number 2313364; The Patent Office of the People’s Republic of China, Application No.: 200810165784.8 China Patent CN1015113407 A The Patent Office of the People’s Republic of China ISSN: 1006-2858 CN 21-1349/R; Patent Agencies Government of India Patent, Application number 1627/KOLNP/2003 number 220265 an Enkephalin Peptide Composition; and the US Patent Pending, US Patent Application 10/146.999 e. The Company received all the production formulations and technology designs from Dr. Plotnikoff necessary for the manufacturing, formulation, production and protocols of the MENK treatment of cancer and HIV/AIDS. As consideration for entering into the Sale of Technology Agreement, Dr. Plotnikoff received 8,000,000 shares of common stock, a royalty of a single-digit percentage on all sales of MENK and was granted the position of Non-Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors.

At the time of the acquisition, the valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets were determined using the fair market price for the Company’s common stock, which were exchanged for shares of TNI IP. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company performed an annual valuation to determine whether any goodwill or intangible assets that had been acquired by the Company were impaired. The result of this valuation was that material impairments were identified. The Company recognized an impairment of the goodwill arising on the acquisition of TNI IP of $98,000,000.

 

Patent License Agreements

 

On August 13, 2012, the Company signed an exclusive License Agreement with Ms. Jacqueline Young (the “Young Agreement”) for the intellectual property developed by Dr. Bernard Bihari relating to treatments with opioid antagonists such as naltrexone and Met-enkephalin for a variety of diseases and conditions including malignant lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, chronic herpes virus infections, chronic herpes viral infections such as chronic genital herpes caused by the herpes simplex virus Type 2 and chronic infections due to the Epstein-Barr virus and a treatment method for humans infected with HTLV-III (AIDS) virus, including patients clinically diagnosed as suffering from AIDS and those suffering from AIDS-related complex (ARC). The Bihari patents were acquired in exchange for 540,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $972,000 and assumed liabilities of $400,000, which is payable to Ms. Young over a twenty-four month period in equal installments to reimburse her for the costs of a New York City office in accordance with the Young Agreement. The cost of the patent totaled $1,372,000. Additionally, the Company will pay the licensor a royalty payment of 1% of gross MENK sales and provide the licensor a position as non-executive chairman of the Company. The Young Agreement is valid for the life of the patents and expires on a country by country basis in each country where patent rights exist, upon the expiration of the last to expire patent in each country or in the event the patent in such country is held to be invalid and/or unenforceable (by a court or government body of competent jurisdiction) or admitted to be invalid or unenforceable. Additionally, we can cancel the Young Agreement upon 120 days’ written notice and shall pay all royalties and fees that have accrued under the Young Agreement. We have the exclusive rights to the intellectual property; however, Ms. Young retains a right to practice the patents licensed under the Young Agreement solely for noncommercial, academic research purposes.

 

On December 24, 2012, the Company signed an agreement for the acquisition of patent rights (the “Smith Agreement”) for the intellectual property of Dr. Jill Smith and LDN Research Group, LLC (collectively, the “Licensor Parties”), whose members are Dr. Ian S. Zagon, Dr. Patricia J. McLaughlin and Moshe Rogosnitzky and orphan drug designation by the FDA to a novel late-stage drug, trademarked “LDN,” for the treatment of Pediatric Crohn’s disease. The patent covers methods and formulations for treatment of the inflammatory and ulcerative diseases of the bowel, using naltrexone in low doses as an opioid antagonist. These patents were acquired in exchange for 300,000 shares of our common stock with a fair value of $2,715,000 and payment of $165,384 (consisting of a $100,000 initial license fee and payment of $65,384 of expenses), which totaled $2,880,384.

 

The Smith Agreement requires the Company to (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to develop, commercialize, market and sell licensed products in a manner consistent with a business plan, (ii) expend a minimum amount of funds per annum to develop and commercialize licensed products as soon as practicable, (iii) obtain all requisite regulatory approvals needed to use or sell licensed products in the field of use, and (iv) make the first commercial sale of a licensed product by March of 2017.

 

The Company is required to pay an annual license fee, an annual running royalty on net sales of each licensed product or a minimum royalty, whichever is greater, and a sublicense fee on payments received by the Company from sublicensees. The Company has an exclusive, worldwide license to make, have made, use, lease, import, offer for sale and sell licensed products and to use the method under the patent rights. The Smith Agreement will terminate on the expiration or abandonment of the last patent to expire or ten years after the sale of the first licensed product. The Company may terminate the Smith Agreement upon 90 days’ written notice, provided all sublicenses are terminated and all amounts due and owing are paid to the Licensor Parties. The Licensor Parties may terminate the agreement ten days’ after notice to the Company if the Company is ten days late in payment or there is a breach that remains uncured for ten days after written notice of such breach.

 

The Company is also required to pay milestone payments after substantial achievement of certain milestone events for each licensed product including payment: upon initiation of each Phase III trial; upon positive completion of each Phase III clinical trial of the therapeutic use of an LDN compound in the field of use; when a New Drug Application (“NDA”) is accepted for review by the FDA; and when FDA approval to market the NDA is approved. The Company will issue shares upon reaching certain milestones including upon the first dosing of the first patient in a Phase III clinical trial for each licensed product, upon the first sale of each licensed product, and upon the achievement of a set dollar amount in cumulative sales for each licensed product covered by NDAs.

As part of the Smith Agreement, the Company has the right to apply to the FDA for the transfer of the orphan drug status for the use of naltrexone for the treatment of pediatric Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, the Investigation New Drug Application (“IND”), and the right to acquire the relevant clinical data set from Dr. Jill Smith. Dr. Jill Smith made arrangements to transfer the IND to the Company as well as the relevant clinical data set, and the FDA has acknowledged that the Company is now the sponsor for this IND.

 

On September 24, 2014, the Company and the Licensor Parties jointly agreed to terminate the Smith Agreement, and in place thereof, have the Licensor Parties grant a similar license in their patent rights to Cytocom Inc. pursuant to a Patent License Agreement between the Licensor Parties, Cytocom Inc. and the Company with substantially similar terms as set forth in the Smith Agreement. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of its common stock valued at $270,000, upon execution to the Licensor Parties and the Company guaranteed the obligations of Cytocom Inc. to the Licensor Parties under the agreement.

 

On January 18, 2013, the Company signed an exclusive licensing agreement with The Penn State Research Foundation to license all of the intellectual property developed by Dr. Ian S. Zagon, Dr. Patricia J. McLaughlin and Dr. Jill P. Smith for the treatment of cancer titled “Opioid Growth Factor and Cancer” and “Combination Therapy with Opioid Growth Factor and Taxanes for the Treatment of Cancer” (the “Foundation Agreement”).

 

The Foundation Agreement requires the Company to: (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to develop, commercialize, market and sell licensed products in a manner consistent with a business plan; (b) expend a minimum amount of funds per annum to develop and commercialize licensed products as soon as practicable; (c) obtain all requisite regulatory approvals needed to use or sell licensed products in the field of use; and (d) make the first commercial sale of a licensed product by December 31, 2016.

The Foundation Agreement also requires the Company to make payments upon the achievement of certain milestone events including: initiation of each Phase II trial; initiation of each Phase III trial; when the NDA is accepted for review by the FDA; and when FDA approval to market is approved. The Company must also issue shares upon certain milestones including upon the first dosing of the first patient in a Phase II clinical trial for each licensed product, upon the first dosing of the first patient in a Phase III clinical trial for each licensed product, upon the first sale of each licensed product, and upon the achievement of a set dollar amount of cumulative sales for each licensed product covered by NDAs.

 

The Foundation Agreement terminates on the expiration or abandonment of the last patent to expire or become abandoned. The Company may terminate the Foundation Agreement at any time upon 60 days’ prior written notice and ceasing to make and sell all licensed products, the termination of all sublicenses and payment of all monies owed under the Foundation Agreement. The licensor may terminate the agreement 30 days after notice to the Company if the Company is 30 days late in payment or a breach that remains uncured for 45 days after written notice of such breach.

 

In May of 2013, the Company executed a Patent License Agreement with Professor Fengping Shan (the “Shan Agreement”) pursuant to which it obtained exclusive rights to develop and commercialize the licensed technology. The licensed technology is the intellectual property developed and owned by Professor Shan (i) relating to the treatment of a variety of diseases and conditions with MENK including multiple forms of lymphoma and cancer and (ii) a treatment method for humans infected with the HLTV-III (AIDS) virus including AIDS and AIDS related complex (ARC).

On August 6, 2014, Professor Fengping Shan executed an Assignment pursuant to which he transferred to the Company his entire right, title and interest in and to the licensed patents under the Shan Agreement and CN 201210302259 Application of combination of low-dose naltrexone and methionine-enkephalin to preparation of anti-cancer drug for the consideration of 500,000 shares of common stock valued at $140,000.

 

11. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Malawi Treatment Facilities

 

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

 

In December of 2014, the Government of Malawi completed an oncology clinic at the Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre, Malawi for the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. In 2015, the Company submitted protocols seeking permission from the Pharmacy, Medicines and Poisons Board of Malawi (“PMPB”) to conduct two trials involving Lodonal™ in Malawi:

 

a. The first protocol, submitted jointly with The Jack Brewer Foundation (“JBF Worldwide”), received PMPB approval on November 11, 2015. The protocol covers a 12-month trial for a “Single Visit Approach to Cervical Cancer Prevention.” The approach is designed to deliver a preventive and simple procedure that can be performed in a clinical setting without the use of a laboratory and to allow for immediate treatment of any precancerous lesions utilizing Wallach LL100 Cryosurgical systems. The protocol provides for 50% of the patient group to be put on Lodonal™ to determine if the drug lowers the number of opportunistic infections during the year, and if it can be shown that LDN increases CD4, CE8, NK and T cell count, which would show that the incidence rates of opportunistic infection could decrease with Lodonal™ and that Lodonal™ could be used as a prophylaxis to prevent substantial HIV-related morbidity in Malawi. The PMPB approved the trial in late 2016, recruitment began in late 2016 and the trial is now ongoing.
   
b. The second protocol, which has not yet been approved, covers a trial using Lodonal™ for the treatment of cancer. The Company has put this trial on hold as it may not be necessary with the approval in Nigeria in addition to the pending approval in Kenya and Senegal for Lodonal™ for the treatment of cancer.

 

Distribution Agreements in Nigeria

 

Effective November 9, 2012, we signed an exclusive Distribution Agreement with G-Ex Technologies/St. Maris Pharma and GB Pharma Holdings, LLC for the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The parties were unable to perform under the agreement because a certificate of free sale was not obtained by the Company until November of 2013, and no extension of the contract was granted.

 

In October 2013, the Company announced the signing of a Distribution Agreement with AHAR Pharma, a Nigerian company, to market Lodonal™, in Nigeria for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and cancer. AHAR intends to distribute Lodonal™ through a local distributor network, an Internet client base and directly to hospitals, pharmacists and doctors in Nigeria. The first deliveries under the agreement took place in February 2018. Under the original agreement, the Company is obligated to provide delivery of an initial supply of between 1 million and 1.5 million doses of Lodonal™ product to cover AHAR Pharma’s first-year purchase commitment. These commitments are currently under review by the parties.

 

In August 2015, the Company announced the signing of a letter of intent with GB Pharma/AHAR and Fidson Healthcare Plc., in terms of which Fidson will promote Lodonal TM upon execution of a definitive agreement between the companies and receipt of NAFDAC and other approvals to distribute Lodonal TM in Nigeria.

Agreements with Hubei Qianjiang Pharmaceutical Company

 

On October 18, 2012, the Company and Hubei Qianjiang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Qianjiang Pharmaceutical”), signed a Venture Cooperation Agreement on New Drug Methionine Enkephalin (the “Venture Agreement”) pursuant to which Qianjiang Pharmaceutical acquired an exclusive license for the production of MENK in China. The Venture Agreement requires that Qianjiang Pharmaceutical conduct drug research and pilot testing for MENK, organize pre-clinical studies, and apply for clinical trials for MENK with the Chinese State Food and Drug Administration. Under the Venture Agreement, Qianjiang Pharmaceutical must open a co-administration account for the development of MENK in China. Qianjiang Pharmaceutical must pay the Company, upon the marketing of MENK products, a half-year amount equaling 6% of its gross sales from MENK of the preceding half year. The Company may cancel the Venture Agreement if Qianjiang Pharmaceutical does not pay expenses for a period exceeding six months or does not commence clinical trials within 12-months after receiving certain approvals. Qianjiang Pharmaceutical may cancel the Venture Agreement if the Company fails to perform its obligations for a period of six months or the failure to receive approval of clinical trials is due to the Company’s MENK technologies. The Venture Agreement was amended on February 24, 2013 to expand the clinical trials from pancreatic to both pancreatic and liver cancer and amended on March 6, 2014 to require Qianjiang Pharmaceutical to commence studies and clinical trials in China and place funds in the co-administration account.

 

On August 6, 2014, the Company entered into a Supplementary Agreement on New Drug Methionine – Enkephalin Cooperation (the “Amendment”) with Qianjiang Pharmaceutical, amending the Venture Agreement, as amended. The Company and Qianjiang Pharmaceutical executed the Amendment to accelerate clinical trials in both the United States and China, and agreed to immediately initiate three month Good Laboratory Practice (“GLP”) Toxicology Studies (rat and dog) within 30 days of signing the Amendment. The Amendment requires that the GLP Toxicology Studies Trials are conducted in China in accordance with international standards and standards acceptable to the FDA and that the studies include the following:

 

Exploratory Toxicology (nGLP)

 

  Dose range finding studies
  Different species and methods of administration
  Multiple dosing regimens
  Estimate the response vs. dose given

 

Definitive Toxicology (GLP)

 

  Performed in collaboration with Calvert Laboratories (USA) and MPI/Medicillon (China)
  General toxicology studies
  Different species and methods of administration
  Immunogenicity study with NHPs

 

Special Toxicology Studies (planned)

 

Pursuant to the Amendment, Qianjiang Pharmaceutical has made certain funds available from the co-administrative account opened by Qianjiang Pharmaceutical under the Venture Agreement, in accordance with an approved budget and timeline set forth in the Amendment. A portion of these funds are expected to be used by Cytocom to run PK and Dosing trials for MENK in the United States in 2018. The Amendment requires Cytocom and Qianjiang Pharmaceutical to meet with the China State Food and Drug Administration to determine that PK and Dosing Trials completed in the United States will be acceptable. All developments and trials run by Cytocom in the U.S. or the European Union will be used for requesting registration approval in China.

 

In February 2013, the Company signed a Strategic Framework Agreement for Cooperation with Qianjiang Pharmaceutical. Under the agreement, the parties will work together to further the development of new products and conduct research and development on the Company’s licensed patented technology. Specifically, the parties aim to co-invest to develop and market products focusing on HIV, cancer and related autoimmune system therapies, develop co-ventured manufacturing facilities in China, and develop co-ventured distribution of the developed products in China and Africa. The agreement does not have a definitive term, as each new agreement resulting from the cooperation will set forth the material terms, including, but not limited to, fees, duration and termination therein.

 

25

 

 

In December of 2016 Qianjiang Pharmaceutical completed the following documents:

 

Exploratory Toxicology (nGLP)

 

  Dose range finding studies
  Different species and methods of administration
  Multiple dosing regimens
  Estimate the response vs. dose given

 

Definitive Toxicology (GLP)

 

  Performed in collaboration with Calvert Laboratories (USA) and MPI/Medicillon (China)
  General toxicology studies
  Different species and methods of administration
  Immunogenicity study with NHPs

 

In addition to the pharmacology and toxicology studies, Qianjiang Pharmaceutical and China Peptide completed the formulation and CMC necessary to scale up manufacturing of MENK.

 

Contract Manufacturing Agreements

 

On May 16, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with Complete Pharmacy and Medical Solutions, LLC (“CPMS”) to compound, package and distribute the LDN tablets, capsules and/or creams in the United States. The initial term of the agreement is three years, with the option to renew for an additional year. The agreement may be terminated by (i) mutual agreement, (ii) in the event of a breach, provided however that if the Company terminates the agreement, the Company will be required to reimburse CPMS for all unused packaging materials for the LDN, which unused packaging materials CPMS will provide to IMUN. If CPMS does not receive and ship at least 1,000 orders (prescriptions) during the term of the agreement, the Company will be required to reimburse CPMS for 100% of the “ramp up costs” (defined as all costs and expenses of labor and materials related to the testing, and required FDA and other governmental documentation/approvals of test data) of providing and producing the LDN, even where the Company cancels/terminates the agreement, which provision shall survive the cancellation/termination of the agreement.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

 

Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks

 

This section and other parts of this Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Forward-looking statements also can be identified by words such as “future,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “can,” “may,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the Company’s actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2018 (the “2017 Form 10-K”) under the heading “Risk Factors”.

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the 2017 Form 10-K and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. All information presented herein is based on the Company’s fiscal calendar. Unless otherwise stated, references in this report to particular years, quarters, months or periods refer to the Company’s fiscal years ended in December and the associated quarters, months, or periods of those fiscal years. Each of the terms the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” as used herein refers collectively to Immune Therapeutics, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated. The Company assumes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.

 

General

 

Immune Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) was initially incorporated in Florida on December 2, 1993 as Resort Clubs International, Inc. (“Resort Clubs”). It was formed to manage and market golf course properties in resort markets throughout the United States. Galliano International Ltd. (“Galliano”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 27, 1998 and began trading in November 1999 through the filing of a 15C-211. On November 10, 2004, Galliano merged with Resort Clubs. Resort Clubs was the surviving corporation. On August 23, 2010, Resort Clubs changed its name to pH Environmental Inc. (“pH Environmental”).

 

On April 23, 2012, pH Environmental completed a name change to TNI BioTech, Inc., and on April 24, 2012, we executed a share exchange agreement for the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of TNI BioTech IP, Inc. On September 4, 2014, a majority of our shareholders approved an amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to change our name to Immune Therapeutics, Inc. We filed our name change amendment with the Secretary of State of Florida on October 27, 2014 changing our name to Immune Therapeutics, Inc.

 

The Company currently operates out of Orlando, Florida. In July 2012, the Company’s focus turned to acquiring patents that would protect and advance the development of new uses of opioid-related immune- therapies, such as low dose naltrexone (“LDN”) and Methionine [Met5]-enkephalin (“MENK”). The Company’s therapies are believed to stimulate and/or regulate the immune system in such a way that they provide the potential to treat a variety of diseases. We believe our therapies may be able to correct abnormalities or deficiencies in the immune system in diseases such as HIV infection, autoimmune disease, immune disorders, or cancer; all of which can lead to disease progression and life-threatening situations when the immune system is not functioning optimally.

 

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

 

In August 2013, the Company formed its United Kingdom subsidiary, TNI BioTech, LTD (the “UK Subsidiary”). The UK Subsidiary received approval to be considered a micro, small or medium-sized enterprise (“SME”) with the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) on August 21, 2013. The designation provides the UK Subsidiary with significant discounts when holding meetings or submitting filings to the EMA. On September 19, 2013, the UK Subsidiary submitted a pre-submission package to the EMA regarding Crohn’s Disease. The EMA granted the UK Subsidiary a meeting that took place on September 27, 2013. The UK Subsidiary is eligible to benefit from the provisions for administrative and financial assistance for SMEs set out in Regulation (EC) No 2049/2005. The Company will apply to obtain EMA benefits once funding becomes available.

In December 2013, the Company formed a subsidiary, Cytocom Inc., to focus on conducting LDN and MENK clinical trials in the United States. In December 2014, the Company finalized the distribution of common stock of Cytocom Inc. to its shareholders. As part of the transaction, the Company transferred to Cytocom certain of its rights, title and interest in or relating to intellectual property (i) patents, patent applications, and all divisional, continuations and continuations-in-part thereof, together with all reissues, reexaminations, renewals and extensions thereof and all rights to obtain such divisionals, continuations and continuations-in-part, reissues, reexaminations, renewals and extensions, and all utility models and statutory invention registrations and any other such analogous rights, (ii) trademarks, service marks, Internet domain names, trade dress, trade styles, logos, trade names, services names, brand names, corporate names, assumed business names and general intangibles and other source identifiers of a like nature, together with the goodwill associated with any of the foregoing, and all registrations and applications for registrations thereof, together with all renewals and extensions thereof and all rights to obtain such renewals and extensions, (iii) copyrights, mask work rights, database and design rights, moral rights and rights in Internet websites, whether registered or unregistered and whether published or unpublished, all registrations and recordings thereof and all applications in connection therewith, together with all renewals, continuations, reversions and extensions thereof and all rights to obtain such renewals, continuations, reversions and extensions, and (iv) confidential and proprietary information, including, trade secrets and know-how. Cytocom licensed back to the Company a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free right and license to use the assigned intellectual property for veterinary indications and for the marketing rights to emerging markets, access to all clinical data, use of the formulation for LDN and MENK. The parties have informally agreed that until such time as Cytocom was funded, the Company would be responsible for all payments to employees, ongoing general and administrative expenses, licensing fees, patent fees, and drug development costs. When Cytocom becomes self-sustaining and fully funded, it expects to reimburse the Company for all funds spent by the Company since the spin-out.

 

On December 8, 2014, the number of Cytocom Inc. shares of common stock that were issued to our shareholders totaled 113,242,522 shares. In connection with the transaction, Cytocom Inc. issued 140,100,000 shares of its common stock to the Company, which gave the Company a 55.3% stake in Cytocom Inc. on that date. In April 2016, the Board of Directors and a majority of shareholders of Cytocom approved a reverse stock split of Cytocom’s outstanding common stock with one new share of stock for each twenty old shares of common stock. Cytocom effectuated and finalized the reverse split in June 2016. At December 31, 2018, the Company’s equity interest had been further reduced to 9.3%, by subsequent issuances of Cytocom common stock.

 

In March 2014, the Company incorporated Airmed Biopharma Limited, an Irish corporation with an address in Dublin, Ireland, and Airmed Holdings Limited, an Irish company domiciled in Bermuda. The Irish companies were set up to benefit from incentives granted by the Irish government for the establishment of pharmaceutical companies (many of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies have located in Ireland), and so that the Company could take advantage of Ireland’s status as a member of the European Union and the European Economic Area. An Irish limited liability company enjoys a low corporate income tax rate of 12.5%, one of the lowest in the world. The Irish-domiciled company hopes to qualify for tax incentives for Irish holding/headquartered companies and to benefit from the network of double tax treaties that reduce withholding taxes. TNI BioTech International, Ltd. will manage our international distribution, using product that is manufactured in Ireland and elsewhere.

 

Today, Immune Therapeutics is focused on the commercialization of affordable non-toxic immunotherapies focused on the activation and rebalancing of the body’s immune system. Stimulating the body’s immune system remains one of the most promising approaches in the treatment of Cancers, HIV, Autoimmune Diseases, inflammatory conditions and other opportunistic infections for chronic often life-threatening diseases through the mobilization of the body’s immune system in Emerging Nations using existing clinical data.

 

Cytocom Inc, is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development of the first affordable non-toxic immunodulator for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, immune-related disorders, and cancer and is responsible for the development of our patented therapies with the FDA and EMA.

As of this date, neither we nor our collaboration partners are permitted to market our drug candidates in the United States until we receive approval of a New Drug Application from the FDA. Neither we nor our collaboration partners have submitted an application for or received marketing approval for any of our drug candidates. Obtaining approval of an NDA can be a lengthy, expensive and uncertain process.

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2017

 

Revenues

 

We had revenues from operations of $65,013 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. In February 2018, the Company reported the first shipments of Lodonal TM to Nigeria.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses and related percentages for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

 

    For the three months ended
March 31,
 
    2018     2017  
Selling, general and administrative   $ 638     $ 666  
Increase/(decrease) from prior year   $ (28 )   $ (273 )
Percent increase/(decrease) from prior year     (4 )%     (29 )%

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, selling, general and administrative expenses were made up as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

 

    For the three months ended
March 31,
 
    2018     2017  
Stock listing and investor relations expenses   $ 10     $ 10  
Consulting and contractors     143       189  
Payroll     321       226  
Professional fees     47       108  
Travel     32       12  
Other expenses     85       121  

 

In the three months ended March 31, 2018, total cash and cash accruals for selling, general and administrative expense was $638 compared to $666 for the corresponding period in 2017, a decrease of $28 or 4%. Significant cash items included:

 

  consulting and contractor services obtained to assist the Company in raising capital, manage investor relations, and develop business in new markets, in the amount of $143 in 2018, a decrease of $46 or 24% over the $189 spent in 2017. The decrease was the result primarily of the expiration of certain consulting contracts by the end of 2017;
     
  professional fees for legal, tax and accounting services in the amount of $47 in 2018, a decrease of $61 or 57% over the $108 spent in 2017. The decrease was primarily due to lower legal fees incurred in the first quarter of 2018;
     
  payroll in the amount of $321 in 2018, an increase of $95 or 42% over the $226 spent in 2017. The increase reflects accruals for compensation accrued to Cytocom executives appointed in 2018; and
     
  travel in the amount of $32 in 2018, an increase of $20 or 167% over the $12 spent in 2017, reflecting increased travel for investor relations in 2018.

 

29

 

 

Research and development

 

R&D expenses and related percentages for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

 

    For the three months ended
March 31,
 
    2018     2017  
Research and development   $ 129     $ 119  
Increase from prior year   $ 10     $ 138  
Percent increase/(decrease) from prior year     9 %     100 %

 

Expenses for research and development in the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased by 9% compared to expenses in the same period in 2017. The increase reflects greater legal fees and an increase in use of contracted services in 2018 to maintain patents and licenses, offset by lower patent expenses.

 

Significant items included:

 

  payments for contracted services, $49 in 2018, an increase of $24 or 92% over the $25 spent in 2017;
     
  payments for professional fees of $55 in 2018, an increase of $16 or 41% over the $39 spent in 2017, reflecting the increased cost in maintaining patents and licenses worldwide;
     
  Patent expenses of $25 in 2018, a decrease of $30 or 55% over the $55 spent in 2017. In 2018, the Company is no longer obligated to pay certain expenses related to the Bihari patents.

 

Approximately 95% of the R&D spending in the first quarter of 2018 was for LDN, unchanged from the same period in 2017.

 

Stock issued for services

 

The Company periodically receives services from consultants under long-term consulting contracts, in terms of which it issues stock to prepay for the services. In such cases, the Company initially accounts for the full cost of these services as Prepaid Services on its balance sheet, calculated by the number of shares issued multiplied by the share price on the contract date. This amount is then amortized as a cost over the period in which the services are provided to the Company. The Company reports these costs separately from Selling, general and administrative costs, and Research and development costs, to better demonstrate the true costs of Selling, general and administrative activities, and Research and development.

 

Amortization of amounts recorded as Prepaid Services for stock issued for services G&A and related percentages for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

 

    For the three months ended
March 31,
 
    2018     2017  
Amortization of prepaid consulting expense G&A   $ 125     $ 481  
Percentage decrease from prior year     (74 )%     (28 )%

 

The decline in expense reflects the decrease in the price of the Company’s stock year over year and the fact that the cost of shares issued for services had been fully amortized in prior years.

 

The number of shares issued for prepaid consulting services G&A in the three months ending March 31, 2018 was 2,863,640 (6,045,460 in the corresponding period in 2017).

 

30

 

 

Prepaid consulting services G&A in the three months ended March 31, 2018 consisted of the following:

 

Amortization of cost of stock issued prior to 2017   $ 90  
Amortization of cost of stock issued in 2017     35  
Amortization of cost incurred for new stock issued in the three months ended March 31, 2018 under consulting contracts entered into in 2018     -  

 

Warrant valuation expense

 

When the Company sells its stock for cash or settles debt for stock, it periodically issues warrants to acquire additional stock at prices agreed at the date of the original sale. The Company incurs a cost for the rights attached to the warrants, which is calculated using the Black-Scholes Model (see above 6. Capital Structure—Common Stock and Common Stock Purchase Warrants.) This expense is reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations above as the Warrant valuation expense.

 

In the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company issued 42,510,818 warrants to stockholders at an exercise price range of $0.005 to $12.00, for which it recorded an expense of $125,000.

 

In the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company issued no warrants to stockholders.

 

Depreciation and amortization

 

The Company amortizes the costs incurred to acquire patents and licenses over the period of the related agreements. All of the Company’s patents and licenses were fully amortized by December 31, 2016.

 

Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

 

    For the three months ended
March 31,
 
    2018     2017  
Depreciation expense   $ -     $ -  
Decrease from prior year   $ -     $ (1 )
Percentage increase/(decrease) from prior year     - %     (100 )%

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

 

    For the three months ended
March 31,
 
    2018     2017  
Interest expense   $ 220     $ 576  
Increase from prior year   $ (356 )   $ 275  
Percentage increase from prior year     (62 )%     91 %

 

The decrease in interest expense reflects the elimination of payment of interest on a note as a result of repayment of that note in the second quarter of 2017; the Company had been required to accrue a significant penalty on that note due to late repayment in the first quarter of 2017.

 

31

 

 

Loss on settlement of debt

 

In three months ended March 31, 2018, certain lenders to the Company settled all or a portion of their notes or accounts payable by converting them to equity. The Company recorded an expense of $18, reflecting the fair value of the shares of common stock issued in exchange for the debt. In three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded an expense of $614, reflecting the fair value of the shares of common stock issued in exchange for the debt.

 

Liquidity

 

Liquidity is measured by our ability to secure enough cash to meet our contractual and operating needs as they arise. We do not anticipate generating sufficient net positive cash flows from our operations to fund the next twelve months. We had cash of $30,401 at March 31, 2018, compared to $98,113 at March 31, 2017.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, net cash used in operating activities from operations was $455,816 and $529,430, respectively.

 

$1,971 was used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018; no cash was used in the corresponding period in 2017.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 proceeds from the sale of stock and exercise of stock warrants totaled $50,000 compared to $0 for the corresponding period in 2017. We also received $468,975 from the issuance of notes payable in three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $875,000 in 2017. There were $0 of loan repayments made in cash in the three months ended March 31, 2018 ($321,846 in 2017).

 

The Company generated revenues from sales in the first quarter of 2018. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flows from future sales, or if it does not raise additional working capital to meet all of its operating obligations and expenditures, the Company may have to modify its business plan.

 

In addition to the cost of its ongoing operations, the Company expects it will incur future research and development expenditures in the next 12 months through Cytocom. Cytocom plans to conduct Phase II and Phase IIB trials for the treatment of Crohn’s disease. Cytocom will need approximately $7-$15 million to fully develop products and for Phase III clinical trials for Crohn’s disease. We expect that two-thirds of this amount will be spent by Cytocom in the USA, the balance for international trials. Cytocom trials are expected to be split evenly between LDN and MENK. The international trials will focus the use of MENK for treatment of cancer in Africa.

 

If the trials do not commence before the end of 2018, the Company will be required to make a payment of $100,000 in December 2018 under its license agreements. In prior years, the Company has been able to raise funds through sales of notes payable to cover this obligation, and it expects to do the same if the payment becomes due in December 2018.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we did not engage in any off balance sheet arrangements as defined in item 303(a)(4) of the SEC’s Regulation S-K.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not Applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

32

 

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, because of the weakness in internal controls over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2018, using the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based upon this assessment, our management concluded that, as of March 31, 2018, the internal controls over financial reporting were not effective. The reportable conditions and material weakness relate to a limited segregation of duties and lack of an audit committee. The limited segregation of duties within our company and the lack of an audit committee are due to the small number of employees. Management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. This material weakness could result in material misstatements of significant accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. In addition, due to limited staffing, we are not always able to detect minor errors or omissions in reporting.

 

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

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

 

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

The principal balance of the Loan and all accrued interest shall become due and payable ninety (90) days from the Effective Date, without extension; provided, however, that the principal balance of the Loan and all accrued interest shall be paid earlier as follows:

 

(i) If Borrower receives investment capital in an amount equal to or greater than one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000) during the Term, principal and accrued interest under the Loan shall become immediately due and payable;

 

(ii) If Borrower uplists its common stock to a global or national exchange for buying and selling its common stock during the Term, principal and accrued interest under the Loan shall become immediately due and payable; or

 

(iii) Upon the receipt of gross revenues by Borrower equaling or greater than one million five hundred thousand dollars ($ 1,500,000) during the Term, Borrower shall pay Lender in monthly installments five percent (5%) of gross revenues received on the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the last day of each month beginning the first month after the Borrower has received total gross revenues of $1,500,000 or more.

 

This Promissory Note (the “Note’’) is being issued pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement, dated of even date herewith, between Borrower and Lender (the “Loan Agreement”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

 

All interest and the principal hereof shall be paid to Lender by wire transfer in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to such bank account as shall be designated by Lender in writing from time to time.

 

If Borrower shall fail to make payment of any installment of principal and interest, within fifteen (15) days of its due date, or upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default under the Loan Agreement or this Note, then and in any such event, the entire unpaid principal balance of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, together with all interest then accrued, shall, at the absolute option of Lender, at once become due and payable, without demand or notice, the same being expressly waived and Lender may exercise any right, power or remedy permitted by law or equity, or as set forth herein or in the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 Promissory Note Page 1 of 2   _________ / ________
 

 

It is the intention of Lender and Borrower to comply strictly with applicable usury laws; and, accordingly, in no event and upon no contingency shall Lender ever be entitled to receive, collect, or apply as interest any interest, fees, charges or other payments equivalent to interest, in excess of the maximum effective contract rate which Lender may lawfully charge under applicable statutes and laws from time to time in effect; and in the event that Lender ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which, but for this provision, would be excessive interest, shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount of the indebtedness hereby evidenced; and if the principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, all lawful interest thereon and all lawful fees and charges in connection therewith, are paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower, or other party lawfully entitled thereto. All interest paid or agreed to be paid by Borrower shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal so that the interest hereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. The provisions of this paragraph shall be given precedence over any other provision contained herein or in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower that is in conflict with the provisions of this paragraph.

 

This Note shall be governed and construed according to the statutes and laws of the State of Florida from time to time in effect.

 

Upon three (3) business days’ prior written notice to Lender, Borrower shall have the right to prepay the indebtedness evidenced hereby in whole or in part by paying the principal amount being prepaid plus accrued interest.

 

The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more provisions of this Note shall not render any other provision invalid or unenforceable. The parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to replace such invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable provision to effect the original intent of the parties in a mutually acceptable manner; provided, however, that if the parties cannot agree on such provision after negotiating in good faith within a reasonable period of time under the circumstances, in lieu of any invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically a valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

 

The covenants, conditions, waivers, releases and agreements contained in this Note shall bind, and the benefits thereof shall inure to, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns; provided, however, that this Note cannot be assigned by Borrower without the prior written consent of Lender, and any such assignment or attempted assignment by Borrower without consent shall be void and of no effect with respect to Lender.

 

Subject to the Loan Agreement, Lender may from time to time assign, in whole or in part, this Note and/or the obligations evidenced hereby. The holder of any such assignment, if the applicable agreement between Lender and such holder so provides, shall be entitled to all of the rights, obligations and benefits of Lender as fully as though Borrower were directly indebted to such holder.

 

Borrower irrevocably appoints each and every officer of Borrower as its attorneys upon whom may be served, by certified mail at the address set forth in the Loan Agreement, or such other address as may be directed by Borrower, in writing, any notice, process or pleading in any action or proceeding against it arising out of or in connection with this Note or any other Loan Document; and Borrower hereby consents that any action or proceeding against it be commenced and maintained in any state or federal court sitting in Orlando, Orange County, Florida, by service of process on any such officer; and Borrower agrees that such courts of the State shall have jurisdiction with respect to the subject matter hereof and the person of Borrower. Borrower agrees not to assert any defense to any action or proceeding initiated by Lender in any such court based upon improper venue or inconvenient forum.

Exhibit A

 

PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$50,000 February 13, 2018

 

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Immune Therapeutics, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of Rogoff Family Trust (“Lender”), the principal sum of Fifty Thousand dollars ($50,000), together with interest upon the unpaid principal balance (the “Loan”), at the rate hereinafter specified, said principal and interest being payable as follows:

 

The outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per annum. Interest on the Loan shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

 

The principal balance of the Loan and all accrued interest shall become due and payable 120 days from the Effective Date; provided, however, that the principal balance of the Loan and all accrued interest shall be paid earlier as follows:

 

(i) If Borrower receives investment capital in an amount equal to or greater than one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000) during the Term, principal and accrued interest under the Loan shall become immediately due and payable;

 

(ii) If Borrower uplists its common stock to a global or national exchange for buying and selling its common stock during the Term, principal and accrued interest under the Loan shall become immediately due and payable; or

 

(iii) Upon the receipt of gross revenues by Borrower equaling or greater than one million five hundred thousand dollars ($ 1,500,000) during the Term, Borrower shall pay Lender in monthly installments five percent (5%) of gross revenues received on the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the last day of each month beginning the first month after the Borrower has received total gross revenues of $1,500,000 or more.

 

This Promissory Note (the “Note’’) is being issued pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement, dated of even date herewith, between Borrower and Lender (the “Loan Agreement”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

 

For any payment which is not made within ten (10) days of the due date for such payment, Borrower shall pay a late fee. The late fee shall equal five percent (5%) of the unpaid portion of the past-due payment.

 

All interest and the principal hereof shall be paid to Lender by wire transfer in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to such bank account as shall be designated by Lender in writing from time to time.

 

If Borrower shall fail to make payment of any installment of principal and interest, within fifteen (15) days of its due date, or upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default under the Loan Agreement or this Note, then and in any such event, the entire unpaid principal balance of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, together with all interest then accrued, shall, at the absolute option of Lender, at once become due and payable, without demand or notice, the same being expressly waived and Lender may exercise any right, power or remedy permitted by law or equity, or as set forth herein or in the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

Lender and Borrower hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by either Lender or Borrower against the other. Borrower waives protest, demand, presentment, and notice of dishonor, and agrees that this Note may be extended, in whole or in part, without limit as to the number of such extensions or the period or periods thereof, without notice to it and without affecting its liability thereon. The liability of Borrower shall be absolute and unconditional and without regard to the liability of any other party hereto.

 

Promissory Note Page 1 of 3  

_________ / ________

 

 

It is the intention of Lender and Borrower to comply strictly with applicable usury laws; and, accordingly, in no event and upon no contingency shall Lender ever be entitled to receive, collect, or apply as interest any interest, fees, charges or other payments equivalent to interest, in excess of the maximum effective contract rate which Lender may lawfully charge under applicable statutes and laws from time to time in effect; and in the event that Lender ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which, but for this provision, would be excessive interest, shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount of the indebtedness hereby evidenced; and if the principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, all lawful interest thereon and all lawful fees and charges in connection therewith, are paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower, or other party lawfully entitled thereto. All interest paid or agreed to be paid by Borrower shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal so that the interest hereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. The provisions of this paragraph shall be given precedence over any other provision contained herein or in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower that is in conflict with the provisions of this paragraph.

 

This Note shall be governed and construed according to the statutes and laws of the State of Florida from time to time in effect.

 

Upon three (3) business days’ prior written notice to Lender, Borrower shall have the right to prepay the indebtedness evidenced hereby in whole or in part by paying the principal amount being prepaid plus accrued interest.

 

The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more provisions of this Note shall not render any other provision invalid or unenforceable. The parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to replace such invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable provision to effect the original intent of the parties in a mutually acceptable manner; provided, however, that if the parties cannot agree on such provision after negotiating in good faith within a reasonable period of time under the circumstances, in lieu of any invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically a valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

 

The covenants, conditions, waivers, releases and agreements contained in this Note shall bind, and the benefits thereof shall inure to, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns; provided, however, that this Note cannot be assigned by Borrower without the prior written consent of Lender, and any such assignment or attempted assignment by Borrower without consent shall be void and of no effect with respect to Lender.

 

Subject to the Loan Agreement, Lender may from time to time assign, in whole or in part, this Note and/or the obligations evidenced hereby. The holder of any such assignment, if the applicable agreement between Lender and such holder so provides, shall be entitled to all of the rights, obligations and benefits of Lender as fully as though Borrower were directly indebted to such holder.

 

Borrower irrevocably appoints each and every officer of Borrower as its attorneys upon whom may be served, by certified mail at the address set forth in the Loan Agreement, or such other address as may be directed by Borrower, in writing, any notice, process or pleading in any action or proceeding against it arising out of or in connection with this Note or any other Loan Document; and Borrower hereby consents that any action or proceeding against it be commenced and maintained in any state or federal court sitting in Orlando, Orange County, Florida, by service of process on any such officer; and Borrower agrees that such courts of the State shall have jurisdiction with respect to the subject matter hereof and the person of Borrower. Borrower agrees not to assert any defense to any action or proceeding initiated by Lender in any such court based upon improper venue or inconvenient forum.
