INNOVUS PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
 Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
 
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY
 
               Innovus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Innovus” or the “Company”) is a San Diego, California based commercial-stage pharmaceutical company that delivers safe and effective non-prescription medicine and consumer care products to improve men’s and women’s health and vitality, and respiratory diseases.
 
               The Company has five products that are currently being marketed: (1)Zestra® , a non-medicated, patented consumer care product that has been clinically proven to increase desire, arousal, and satisfaction in women; (2) EjectDelay ® , an over-the-counter monograph-compliant benzocaine-based topical gel for treating premature ejaculation; (3) Sensum+ ® , a non-medicated consumer care cream that increases penile sensitivity (ex-US); (4) Zestra Glide® , a clinically tested high viscosity low osmolality water-based lubricant; and (5) Vesele ®, a proprietary and novel oral dietary supplement to maximize nitric oxide beneficial effects on sexual functions and brain health. Vesele ® contains a patented formulation of L-Arginine and L-Citrulline in combination with the natural absorption enhancer Bioperine®.
 
Pipeline Products

Androferti ®

On January 28, 2015, we entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Laboratorios Q Pharma (Spain) to distribute and commercialize Androferti in the U.S. by ourselves and in Canada through our partner. Androferti is a natural supplement that supports overall male reproductive health and sperm quality. Androferti®, has been shown in multiple published clinical trials to statistically increase seminal quality (concentration, motility, morphology and vitality) and  enhances spermatozoa quality (decreases of vacuoles in the sperm nucleus, decreases DNA fragmentation, decreases the dynamics of sperm DNA fragmentation, and improvement on the inventory of mobile sperms.

Fluticare™ (Fluticasone propionate nasal spray)

Innovus acquired the worldwide rights to market and sell the Fluticare™ brand (Fluticasone propionate nasal spray) and the related manufacturing agreement from Novalere FP in February of 2015.  Innovus expects that the Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) filed in November 2014 by the manufacturer with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“ FDA ”) may be approved by the end of 2015 or in the first half of 2016 which will allow the Company to market and sell Fluticare™ over the counter.  An ANDA is an application for a U.S. generic drug approval for an existing licensed medication or approved drug.  Fluticasone Propionate Nasal Spray (“FPNS”) is the #1 most prescribed nasal steroid in the U.S. since 2007, with more than 150 million units sold and has been the #1 prescribed nasal spray to patients in the U.S. for more than five consecutive years.  More than 40 million units of FPNS nasal spray product form have been sold in the U.S. in 2014, and the worldwide market is estimated to be over $1 billion annually.
 
NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY
 
               The Company’s operations have been financed primarily through advances from officers, directors and related parties, outside capital, and from revenues generated from the launch of its products and commercial partnerships signed for the sale and distribution of its products domestic and internationally. These funds have provided the Company with the resources to operate its business, to sell and support its products, attract and retain key personnel, and add new products to its portfolio. To date, the Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations each year since its inception. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $12,733,725.
 
               The Company has raised funds through the issuance of debt and the sale of common stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 the Company raised $0.15 million in funds, which include $0.1 million from the issuance of a non-convertible debentures to an unrelated third partys in January 2015, and $0.05 million in proceeds from the issuance of an additional non-convertible debt instrument to a related party. The Company has also issued equity instruments in certain circumstances to pay for services from vendors and consultants.
 
 
               As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $0.05 million in cash and cash equivalents, $1.1 million in cash available for use under the line of credit convertible debenture with a related party, and $0.1 million in accounts receivable. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized $0.2 million in revenues from sales of its commercially available products.  While the Company had a working capital deficiency of $0.6 million at March 31, 2015, the Company expects that its existing capital resources, revenues from sales of its products, upcoming sales milestone payments from the commercial partners signed for its products, along with the $1.1 million in funds currently available for use under the LOC Convertible Debenture will be sufficient to allow the Company to continue its operations, commence the product development process, and launch selected products through July 1, 2016. (See Note 7)

While the Company had a working capital deficiency of $0.6 million at March 31, 2015, the Company’s actual needs will depend on numerous factors, including timing of introducing its products to the marketplace, its ability to attract additional ex-US distributors for its products and its ability to in-license in non-partnered territories and/or develop new product candidates.  The Company may also seek to raise capital, debt or equity, from outside sources to pay for further expansion and development of its business, and to meet current obligations. Such capital may not be available to the Company when it needs it on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. 
 
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
 
       These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), and include all assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: FasTrack Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Semprae Laboratories, Inc. (“Semprae”) and Novalere, Inc. (“Novalere”). All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Certain information required by U.S. GAAP has been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The results for the period ended March 31, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 or for any future period.
 
Use of Estimates
 
                The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Such management estimates include equity-based instruments, revenue recognition, sales adjustments, fair value of the derivative liability, and intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
Fair Value Measurement
 
                The Company’s financial instruments are cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and debt. The recorded values of cash, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The Company believes the recorded values of convertible debentures and convertible debt, net of the discount, approximate the fair value as the interest rate (stated or effective) approximates market rates for similar types of instruments.
 
                The Company follows a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
 
Level 1 measurements are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
 
Level 2 measurements are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly.
 
Level 3 measurements are unobservable inputs.
 
 
 
Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers
 
                Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and trade accounts receivable. Cash held with financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on such deposits. Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts receivable from Sothema Laboratories under the Company's licensing agreements (See Note 4) and from sales of Zestra®. The Company also requires a percentage of payment in advance for product orders with its larger partners. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. 
 
                As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had $81,148 and $191,601, respectively, in accounts receivable, presented net of estimated returns and allowances.
 
                The Company had two major customers that accounted for 25% and 17%, respectively, of its total net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2015.  These same customers accounted for 48% and 28%, respectively, of total net accounts receivable as of March 31, 2015.  The Company had three major customers that accounted for 30%, 15% and 12%, respectively, of its total net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
   
Concentration of Suppliers
 
               The Company has manufacturing relationships with a number of vendors or manufacturers for its products including: Sensum+®, EjectDelay®, Vesele®, Androferti® and the Zestra® line of products. Pursuant to these relationships, the Company purchases product through purchase orders with its manufacturers. The Company is in the process of entering into more formal agreements with certain of these manufacturers.
 
Inventory
 
                Inventory, consisting primarily of finished goods, is valued at the lower of cost or market where cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. The inventory balance at March 31, 2015 is primarily comprised of finished goods for Zestra®, Zestra Glide®, and EjectDelay®. Inventory is shown net of obsolescence and allowance for reducing the inventory cost to market. Obsolescence of inventory is determined based on shelf life or potential product replacement.
 
Property and Equipment
 
                Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years. The initial cost of property and equipment consists of its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use.
 
Intangible Assets
 
                Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range in term from 7 to 15 years. The useful life of the intangible asset is evaluated each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining useful life.

            Expected amortization as of March 31, 2015 is approximately $589,000 for each of the next five years, and $2,811,000 thereafter.

 
Goodwill
   
                The Novalere purchase price allocation was based upon an analysis of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired from Novalere. The final purchase price may be adjusted up to one year from the date of the acquisition. Identifying the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired required the use of estimates by management, and were based upon currently available data, as noted below (See Note 5).
 
                The Company allocated the excess of purchase price over the identifiable intangible and net tangible assets to goodwill. Such goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes and represents the value placed on entering new markets and expanding market share.
 
                The Company tests its goodwill for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicates an impairment may have occurred, by comparing its reporting unit's carrying value to its implied fair value. Impairment may result from, among other things, deterioration in the performance of the acquired business, adverse market conditions, adverse changes in applicable laws or regulations and a variety of other circumstances. If the Company determines that an impairment has occurred, it is required to record a write-down of the carrying value and charge the impairment as an operating expense in the period the determination is made. In evaluating the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill, the Company must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the acquired assets. Changes in strategy or market conditions could significantly impact those judgments in the future and require an adjustment to the recorded balances. The goodwill was recorded as part of the acquisition of Semprae that occurred on December 24, 2013, and the acquisition of Novalere, that occurred on February 5, 2015. There was no impairment of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2015 or the year ended December 31, 2014.
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
                The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company evaluates assets for potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted net cash flows to the carrying amount of the asset. If the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, impairment is measured based on the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and fair value.
 
Financial Instruments
 
                If a conversion feature of conventional convertible debt is not accounted for separately as a derivative instrument and provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a Beneficial Conversion Feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount. The Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest rate method. The Company’s February 2014 Convertible Debenture and September 2014 Convertible Debenture each contain a BCF (See Note 7). The Company’s January 2012 and January 2013 Debentures, and LOC Convertible Debenture, which contained an embedded conversion feature, were converted on February 19, 2014 (See Note 8).
 
Income Taxes
 
                Income taxes are provided for using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using current tax rates on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the respective tax basis of the assets and liabilities. The Company provides a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.
 
                The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting this standard, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. There were no uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2015.
  
Revenue Recognition, Trade Receivables and Deferred Revenue
 
       The Company generates revenues from product sales and the licensing of the rights to market and commercialize its products.
 
               The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition.  Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.
 
 
                Product Sales: The Company ships product to its customers pursuant to purchase agreements or orders. Revenue from sales transactions where the buyer has the right to return the product is recognized at the time of sale only if (1) the seller’s price to the buyer is substantially fixed or determinable at the date of sale, (2) the buyer has paid the seller, or the buyer is obligated to pay the seller and the obligation is not contingent on resale of the product, (3) the buyer’s obligation to the seller would not be changed in the event of theft or physical destruction or damage of the product, (4) the buyer acquiring the product for resale has economic substance apart from that provided by the seller, (5) the seller does not have significant obligations for future performance to directly bring about resale of the product by the buyer, and (6) the amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated.
 
                License Arrangements: Payments received by the Company under license arrangements to market and commercialize its products may include non-refundable upfront fees, license fees, milestone payments for specific achievements designated in the agreements, and royalties on sales of products. The Company considers a variety of factors in determining the appropriate method of accounting under its license arrangements, including whether the various elements can be separated and accounted for individually as separate units of accounting.  For license arrangements in which the Company has completed all of its performance obligations, amounts received at the date of the conclusion of such performance obligations are recognized as revenues.  Subsequent payments of regulatory and sales-based milestones are outside of the Company’s control and will be recognized upon receipt.
 
Sales Allowances
 
    The Company accrues for product returns, volume rebates and promotional discounts in the same period the related sale is recognized.
 
                The Company’s product returns accrual is primarily based on estimates of future product returns over the period customers have a right of return, which is in turn based in part on estimates of the remaining shelf-life of products when sold to customers. Future product returns are estimated primarily based on historical sales and return rates. The Company estimates its volume rebates and promotional discounts accrual based on its estimates of the level of inventory of its products in the distribution channel that remain subject to these discounts. The estimate of the level of products in the distribution channel is based primarily on data provided by the Company’s customers.
 
                In all cases, judgment is required in estimating these reserves. Actual claims for rebates and returns and promotional discounts could be materially different from the estimates.
 
                The Company provides a customer satisfaction warranty on all of its products to customers for a specified amount of time after product delivery. Estimated return costs are based on historical experience and estimated and recorded when the related sales are recognized. Any additional costs are recorded when incurred or when they can reasonably be estimated.
 
                The estimated reserve for sales returns and allowances, which is included in accounts receivable, was approximately $23,000 at each of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
 
Cost of Product Sales
 
                Cost of product sales includes the cost of inventory, royalties and inventory reserves. The Company is required to make royalty payments based upon the net sales of three of its marketed products, Zestra®, Sensum+®, and Vesele®.
 
Research and Development Costs
 
                Research and development (“R&D”) costs, including research performed under contract by third parties, are expensed as incurred. Major components of R&D expenses consist of testing, post marketing clinical trials, material purchases and regulatory affairs.
 
Stock-based Compensation
 
                The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Based Compensation, which requires the recognition of the fair value of stock-based compensation as an expense in the calculation of net income. ASC 718 requires that stock-based compensation expense be based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 have been reduced for estimated forfeitures. When estimating forfeitures, voluntary termination behaviors, as well as trends of actual option forfeitures, are considered. To the extent actual forfeitures differ from the Company’s current estimates, cumulative adjustments to stock-based compensation expense are recorded.
 
 
                Except for transactions with employees and directors that are within the scope of ASC 718, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
 
Equity Instruments Issued to Non-Employees for Services
 
                Issuances of the Company’s equity for services are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued to consultants is determined at the earlier of (a) the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instruments is reached (a “performance commitment” which would include a penalty considered to be of a magnitude that is a sufficiently large disincentive for nonperformance) or (b) the date at which performance is complete, and is based upon the quoted market price of the common stock at the date of issuance (See Note 9).
 
Comprehensive Loss
 
                Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and other gains and losses affecting stockholders’ equity that, under U.S. GAAP, are excluded from net loss. Comprehensive loss was the same as net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, as the Company has no other comprehensive income.
 
Loss per Share
 
                Basic loss per share are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented. Diluted loss per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods plus the effect of dilutive securities outstanding during the periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, basic earnings per share are the same as diluted earnings per share as a result of the Company’s common stock equivalents being anti-dilutive due to losses of $1,501,758 and $1,439,414, respectively.
 
      The following table shows the anti-dilutive shares excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted loss per common share attributable to the Company as of March 31, 2015 and 2014:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In November 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share is More Akin to Debt or to Equity. This update clarifies how current guidance should be interpreted in evaluating the economic characteristics and risks of a host contract in a hybrid financial instrument that is issued in the form of a share. In addition, it clarifies that in evaluating the nature of a host contract, an entity should assess the substance of the relevant terms and features (that is, the relative strength of the debt-like or equity-like terms and features given the facts and circumstances) when considering how to weight those terms and features. The effects of initially adopting the new standard should be applied on a modified retrospective basis to existing hybrid financial instruments issued in a form of a share as of the beginning of the fiscal year for which the amendments are effective. Retrospective application is permitted to all relevant prior periods. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating whether the adoption of this update will have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.  
 
 
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern .  This update provide guidance in generally accepted accounting principles about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide footnote disclosures.  The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in the applicable standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued).  The amendments in the update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted.  The adoption of the update has been applied to these financial statements and resulted in no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.   
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This update states a core principle in that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve the core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: 1) identify the contract(s) with the customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The amendments in the update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted.

                The CRI Asset Purchase Agreement also requires the Company to pay to CRI up to $7 million in cash milestone payments based on first achievement of certain annual net sales targets plus a royalty based on annual net sales described therein. The obligation for these payments expires on April 19, 2023 or the expiration of the last of CRI’s patent claims covering the product or its use outside the United States, whichever is sooner. No sales milestones have been met under this agreement, and royalties owed to CRI were immaterial and included in net revenues.
 
NOTE 5- BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of Novalere

                On February 5, 2015 (the "Closing Date”) the Company, Innovus Pharma Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Innovus (“ Merger Subsidiary I ”), Innovus Pharma Acquisition Corporation II, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“ Merger Subsidiary II ”), Novalere FP, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Novalere FP ”), and Novalere Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ Novalere Holdings ”), as representative of the shareholders of Novalere (the “ Novalere Stockholders ”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Merger Agreement ”), pursuant to which Merger Subsidiary I merged into Novalere and then Novalere merged with and into Merger Subsidiary II (the “ Merger ”), with Merger Subsidiary II surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the articles of merger effectuating the Merger, Merger Subsidiary changed its name to Novalere, Inc.

With the Merger, Innovus acquired the worldwide rights to market and sell the Fluticare™ brand (Fluticasone propionate nasal spray) and the related manufacturing agreement from Novalere FP.  Innovus anticipates that the ANDA filed in November 2014 by the manufacturer with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“ FDA ”) may be approved by the end of 2015 or in the first half of 2016 which will allow the Company to market and sell Fluticare™ over the counter.  An ANDA is an application for a U.S. generic drug approval for an existing licensed medication or approved drug.
 
                Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Closing Date, the Novalere Stockholders received 50% of the Consideration Shares (the “Closing Consideration Shares”), and the remaining 50% of the Consideration Shares (the “ANDA Consideration Shares”) will be delivered only if an Abbreviated New Drug Application of Fluticasone Propionate Nasal Spray of Novalere Manufacturing Partners   (the “Target Product”) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (the “ANDA Approval”).  A portion of the Closing Consideration Shares, and if ANDA Approval is obtained prior to the 18 month anniversary of the Closing Date, a portion of the ANDA Consideration Shares, will be held in escrow for a period of 18 months from the Closing Date to be applied towards any indemnification claims by Innovus pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
 
                In addition, the Novalere Stockholders are entitled to receive, if and when earned, earn-out payments (the “Earn-Out Payments”). For every $5 million in Net Revenue (as defined in the Merger Agreement) realized by sales of Fluticare™ , the Novalere Stockholders will be entitled to receive, on a pro rata basis, $500,000, subject to  cumulative maximum Earn-Out Payments of $2.5 million.
 
                The closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Closing Date was $0.20 per share. The Company issued 12,947,657 Closing Consideration Shares of its common stock at the Closing Date, the Fair Market Value, (‘FMV”) of the Closing Consideration Shares was $2,071,625 as of the Closing Date.  As mentioned above, 12, 280,796 shares were placed in escrow to cover any potential claims that the Company might have with respect to disclosures made by the Novalere.
 
                The fair value of the contingent consideration is based on preliminary cash flow projections and other assumptions for the ANDA Consideration shares and the Earn-Out Payments, future changes in the estimate of such contingent consideration will be recognized as a charge to operations expense.
 
               Issuance of the 12,947,655 ANDA Consideration Shares is subject to milestones, achievement of which is uncertain.  The FMV of the ANDA Consideration Shares was established to account for the uncertainty in the future value of the shares.   The value of the shares as derived using the options pricing model was then weighted based on the probability of achieving the milestones to determine the FMV of the ANDA Consideration Shares and estimated potential share prices at such dates.  Based on the aforementioned calculation the fair market value of the ANDA Consideration shares was determined to be $1,657,300.
 
   The total fair market value of the considerations issued for the transaction are as follows:

                Based on the assumptions, the fair market value of the Earn Out Payments was determined to be $1,205,000. The preliminary fair values of the future earn out payments was determined by applying the income approach, using several significant unobservable inputs for projected cash flows and a discount rate. These inputs are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance.

     The fair values of acquired assets and liabilities are based on preliminary cash flow projections and other assumptions. The preliminary fair values of acquired intangible assets were determined using several significant unobservable inputs for projected cash flows and a discount rate. These inputs are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance. The transaction has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at fair value, with the remaining purchase price recorded as goodwill.

           The carrying value of current assets and liabilities, and fixed assets in Novalere’s financial statements are considered to be a proxy for the fair value of those assets and liabilities.  Novalere is a pre-commercial organization specializing in selling and marketing nasal steroid products; most of the value in Novalere is applicable to the product rights and related manufacturing agreement. Novalere holds a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to market, promote, sell, offer for sale, import and distribute the product. This business relationship is contractual in nature and meets the separability criterion and as a result is considered an identifiable intangible asset recognized separately from goodwill. The value of the business relationship is included in goodwill under US GAAP. Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the consideration expected to be transferred and the values assigned to the identifiable tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The acquired goodwill presented in the above table reflects the estimated goodwill from the preliminary purchase price allocation.

            The purchase price allocation is subject to completion of our analysis of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Novalere as of the date of the acquisition. These adjustments could be material. The final valuation is expected to be completed as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the consummation of the Merger. The establishment of the fair value of the consideration for a Merger, and the allocation to identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities requires the extensive use of accounting estimates and management judgment. The fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on estimates and assumptions from data currently available.

 Purchase of Semprae Laboratories, Inc.
 
On December 24, 2013 (the “Semprae Closing Date”), the Company, through Merger Sub obtained 100% of the outstanding shares of Semprae in exchange for the issuance of 3,201,776 shares of the Company’s common stock, which shares represented fifteen percent (15%) of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company as of the close of business on the Semprae Closing Date, whereupon Merger Sub was renamed Semprae Laboratories, Inc. Also, the Company agreed to pay $343,500 to the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (“NJEDA”) as settlement-in-full for an outstanding loan of approximately $640,000 owed by the former stockholder’s of Semprae, in full satisfaction of the obligation to the NJEDA. In addition, the Company agreed to pay the former shareholders an annual royalty (“Royalty”) equal to five percent (5%) of the net sales from Zestra® and Zestra® Glide and any second generation products derived primarily therefrom (“Semprae Target Product”) up until the time that a generic version of such Semprae Target Product is introduced worldwide by a third party.
 
The fair market value of the Company’s common stock issued on the Semprae Closing Date was $0.30 per share, which resulted in a fair market value of $960,530 for the common stock issued to the shareholders of Semprae. The fair value of the shares of common stock issued were determined by quoted market prices that are considered to be Level 1 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance.  A portion of the shares issued were held in escrow pending reconciliation of assets received and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.  At March 31, 2015 approximately $60,000 has been agreed by both parties which is the amount that will be returned to the Company in the form of common stock shares at its then quoted market price. 
 
 
The transaction has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at fair value, with the remaining purchase price recorded as goodwill. The fair values of current assets and liabilities approximated their book value.  The fair values of acquired assets and liabilities are based on preliminary cash flow projections and other assumptions. The fair values of acquired intangible assets were determined using several significant unobservable inputs for projected cash flows and a discount rate. These inputs are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance.  
 
The agreement to pay the annual Royalty resulted in the recognition of a contingent consideration, which is recognized at the inception of the transaction, and subsequent changes to estimate of the amounts of contingent consideration to be paid will be recognized as charges or credits in the statement of operations. The fair value of the contingent consideration is based on preliminary cash flow projections, growth in expected product sales and other assumptions. Based on the assumptions, the fair value of the Royalty was determined to be $308,273 at the date of acquisition. The fair value of the royalty was determined by applying the income approach, using several significant unobservable inputs for projected cash flows and a discount rate of 40% commensurate with the Company’s cost of capital and expectation of the revenue growth for products at their life cycle stage. These inputs are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance. During 2014, approximately $87,000 was paid under this arrangement and the fair value of the expected royalties to be paid was increased by $103,000.  The fair value of contingent consideration was increased to $324,000 at December 31, 2014, based on the new estimated fair value of the consideration. There was no change to the Contingent Consideration as of March 31, 2015.
 
As a result of the acquisition, the Company acquired all of Semprae’s assets and liabilities, including its two women’s products, which were added to the Company’s current portfolio of male sexual dysfunction products and other topical products. The Company maintains a number of international patents and trademarks on the two products acquired from Semprae.

February 2014 Convertible Debenture
 
                On February 13, 2014, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an unrelated third party accredited investor pursuant to which the Company issued a convertible debenture in the aggregate principal amount of $330,000 (issued at an original issue discount of 10%) (the “February 2014 Convertible Debenture”) and a warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock (“Warrant Agreement”).
 
                The February 2014 Convertible Debenture bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum and the principal amount and interest are payable on March 13, 2015. The effective interest rate will be calculated considering the original issue discount, the BCF and the Warrant Agreement. The February 2014 Convertible Debenture may be converted in whole or in part at any time prior to March 13, 2015, by the holder at a conversion price of $0.40 per share, subject to adjustment. The Company has the option to redeem the February 2014 Convertible Debenture before its maturity by payment in cash of 125% of the then outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest and other amounts due.
 
                The February 2014 Convertible Debenture was issued with an original issue discount of $30,000. The original issue discount was included in the balance sheet as a discount to the related debt security and is being accreted as non-cash interest expense over the expected term of the loan.
 
                The Warrant Agreement provides the holder with the right to acquire up to 250,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments as described in the Warrant Agreement, at any time through the fifth anniversary of its issuance date. The allocated relative fair value of the Warrant Agreement of $96,533 has been included in the balance sheet as a discount to the related debt security and is being accreted as non-cash interest expense over the expected term of the loan.

           On March 12, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment agreement whereby the February 2014 Convertible Debenture was amended. Pursuant to the Agreement, the maturity date of the Debenture was amended from March 13, 2015 to September 13, 2015. In addition, the Debenture was amended so that the Company may prepay the Debenture at its option.

           In connection with the execution of the Agreement, the Company issued 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and amended and restated the warrant. The Warrant was originally exercisable until February 13, 2019 for 250,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, subject to anti-dilution protection. The Warrant, as amended and restated, has been increased to 500,000 shares, and is exercisable until March 12, 2020 at an exercise price of $0.30 per share of Common Stock. The Warrant, as amended and restated, contains certain anti-dilution protection provisions.
 
 
                The February 2014 Convertible Debenture contained a BCF. The intrinsic value of the BCF at the date of issuance was determined by measuring the difference between the accounting conversion price and the intrinsic value of the stock at the commitment date. The Company recorded a debt discount for the intrinsic value of the BCF, which was limited to the proceeds with an offsetting increase to paid-in-capital. The BCF of $179,032 along with the original issue discount of $30,000, has been fully accreted as non-cash interest expense using the effective interest method to the maturity date of March 13, 2015.
 
           The amendment to the February 2014 Convertible Debenture was considered to be an extinguishment of debt as the terms of the debt instruments immediately before and after the amendment were considered to be substantially different as defined in the accounting guidance. In accordance with debt extinguishment accounting requirements, the new debt instrument was recorded at its fair value as determined on the amendment date. The estimated fair value of the note payable was $260,542, net of related debt discount of $69,458, which has been recorded in the consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the warrants associated with the February 2014 Convertible Debenture have an anti-dilution provision that has been accounted for as a derivative. The Company valued the derivative using a Probability Weighted Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model and the following inputs, stock price on the day of issuance $0.14, 100% volatility, the term of the warrants (5 years) and the risk-free interest rate 1.51 %. These unobservable inputs represent a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the warrants as of March 31, 2015 was $76,299 which has been recorded as a derivative liability in the consolidated balance sheet. The estimated fair value of the warrant liability will be revalued on a quarterly basis and any resulting increases or decreases in the estimated fair value will be recorded as an adjustment to operating earnings. (See Note 9)
 
The 2015 Amendment resulted in a net difference of $32,500 has been recorded as an extinguishment loss and is recorded in the other income (expense), net line item of the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss.
 
 August 2014 Debenture
 
                On August 30, 2014, the Company issued an 8% debenture to an unrelated third party investor in the principal amount of $40,000 (the “August 2014 Debenture”). The August 2014 Debenture bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum. The principal amount and interest are payable on August 29, 2015.

September 2014 Convertible Debenture
 
                On September 29, 2014, the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) to an unrelated third party accredited investor for $50,000. The Note had a principal face amount of $92,000, did not accrue interest and was due on March 28, 2016 (the “Maturity Date”). The Note carries the right to convert any part of the principal amount under the Note into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.40 per share (the “Conversion Price”). On the Maturity Date, any outstanding principal due under the Note will be automatically converted into common stock at the Conversion Price. The Note holder is prohibited from converting the Note to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, it beneficially owns more than 9.99%, in the aggregate, of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon the conversion of the Note.  The September 2014 Convertible Debenture contained a BCF. The intrinsic value of the BCF at the date of issuance was determined by measuring the difference between the accounting conversion price and the intrinsic value of the stock at the commitment date. The Company recorded a debt discount for the intrinsic value of the BCF, which was limited to the proceeds with an offsetting increase to paid-in-capital. The BCF of $37,400 along with the original issue discount of $42,000, has been included in the balance sheet at March 31, 2015 as a discount to the related debt security, and is being accreted as non-cash interest expense over the expected term of the September 2014 Convertible Debenture using the effective interest method.  The implicit interest rate was 41%.

The September 2014 Convertible Debenture was converted into 230,000 shares common stock according to the terms of the note, by the investor on March 30, 2015. As such, the Company recorded the conversion of the note and the remaining BCF was charged to interest expense.

January 2015 Non-Convertible Debenture

On January 21, 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an unrelated third party accredited investor whereby the Company issued and sold a promissory note in the principal face amount of $110,000 and warrants to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for gross proceeds of $100,000.

The Note is due on July 31, 2015 and accrued a one-time interest charge of 8% on the closing date.  The warrants, are exercisable for five years from the closing date at an exercise price of $0.30 per share of Common Stock.  The warrants contain anti-dilution protection, including protection upon dilutive issuances.
 
 
The Warrants issued in connection with the January 2015 notes are measured at fair value and classified as a liability because these warrants contain anti-dilution protection and therefore cannot be considered indexed to the Company’s own stock which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815. The estimated fair value of the warrants was determined using Probability Weighted Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model , resulting in a value of $99,999 on the date they were issued. The Debt was recorded using the residual method, at $1, net of a debt discount of $109,999. The discount has been included in the balance sheet at March 31, 2015 as a discount to the related debt security, and is being accreted as non-cash interest expense over the expected term of the January 2015 Non-Convertible Debenture using the effective interest method.  The fair value will be affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, expected stock price volatility, the contractual term, and the risk-free interest rate. The Company will continue to classify the fair value of the warrants as a liability until the warrants are exercised, expire or are amended in a way that would no longer require these warrants to be classified as a liability, whichever comes first. The anti-dilution protection for the warrants survives for the life of the warrants which ends in January 2020. (See Note 9)
 
Interest Expense
 
                The Company recognized interest expense on the unsecured (non-related party) notes payable, including amortization of debt discount of $140,737 and $14,492 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Note is due on July 31, 2015 and accrued a one-time interest charge of 8% on the closing date.  The warrants, are exercisable for five years from the closing date at an exercise price of $0.30 per share of Common Stock.  The warrants contain anti-dilution protection, including protection upon dilutive issuances.

The Warrants issued in connection with the January 2015 Non-Convertible Debenture-CFO are measured at fair value and classified as a liability because these warrants contain anti-dilution protection and therefore, cannot be considered indexed to the Company’s own stock which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815.

The discount has been included in the balance sheet at March 31, 2015 as a discount to the related debt security, and is being accreted as non-cash interest expense over the expected term of the January 2015 Non-Convertible Debenture using the effective interest method.  The fair value will be affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, expected stock price volatility, the contractual term, and the risk-free interest rate.

The anti-dilution protection for the warrants survives for the life of the warrants which ends in January 2020. (See Note 9)
 
 
Line of Credit – Convertible Debenture
 
In January 2013, the Company entered into a line of credit convertible debenture with its President and Chief Executive Officer (the “LOC Convertible Debenture”). Under the terms of its original issuance: (1) the Company could request to borrow up to a maximum principal amount of $250,000 from time to time; (2) amounts borrowed bore an annual interest rate of 8%; (3) the amounts borrowed plus accrued interest were payable in cash at the earlier of January 14, 2014 or when the Company completes a Financing; and (4) the holder had sole discretion to determine whether or not to make an advance upon the Company’s request.
 
During 2013, the LOC Convertible Debenture was further amended to: (1) increase the maximum principal amount borrowable to $1 million; and (2) change the holder’s funding commitment to automatically terminate on the earlier of either (a) when the Company completes a financing with minimum net proceeds of at least $4 million, or (b) July 1, 2016. The securities to be issued upon automatic conversion will be either the Company’s securities that are issued to the investors in the Financing or, if the Financing does not occur by July 1, 2016, shares of the Company’s common stock based on a conversion price of $0.312 per share. The LOC Convertible Debenture continues to bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum. The other material terms of the LOC Convertible Debenture were not changed.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company borrowed $448,475 pursuant to the LOC Convertible Debenture. The LOC Convertible Debenture contained a BCF of $98,335, which was included in the balance sheet at December 31, 2013 as a discount to the related debt security, and accreted as non-cash interest expense over the expected term of the loan using the effective interest method.
 
On February 19, 2014, the Company agreed with the holder of the LOC Convertible Debenture to convert the then outstanding principal and interest owed as of such date into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.40 per share. The principal and interest amount owed under the LOC Convertible Debenture immediately prior to conversion was $476,165, which was converted into 1,190,411 shares of the Company’s common stock. The debt discount of $89,452 related to the BCF for the converted portion was recorded as interest expense.
 
On July 22, 2014, the Company agreed with the holder of the LOC Convertible Debenture to increase the principal amount that may be borrowed from up to $1,000,000 to up to $1,500,000.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company borrowed $113, under the LOC Convertible Debenture. The $113 borrowed under the LOC Convertible Debenture along with the accrued interest resulted in a BCF of $2,034. As of March 31, 2015, the Company owed a balance of $424,192 in principal amount under the LOC Convertible Debenture, and there was approximately $1.1 million remaining available to use.

On January 23, 2015, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with CRI where-by CRI agreed to return 200,000 shares to the Company. The share return was in consideration for the Company completing certain product development and regulatory efforts relating to the sale of the product in foreign territories. (See Note 4).

The Company issued an additional 137,500 shares of common stock to other consultants under consulting agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2015.  The shares were issued under the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) or under the corresponding S-8 Plan, as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission. All issued shares have been valued at the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance. The aggregate value of the shares issued was $25,900, and $29,900 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.    
 
2013 Equity Plan
 
The Company has issued share-based stock, stock unit and option awards to employees, non-executive directors and outside consultants under the Incentive Plan, which was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in February of 2013. The Incentive Plan allows for the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued in the form of stock options, stock awards, stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and other share-based awards. The exercise price for all equity awards issued under the Incentive Plan is based on the fair market value of the common stock. Currently, because the Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTCQB, the fair market value of the common stock is equal to the last-sale price reported by the OTCQB as of the date of determination, or if there were no sales on such date, on the last date preceding such date on which a sale was reported. Generally, each vested stock unit entitles the recipient to receive one share of Company common stock which is eligible for settlement at the earliest of their termination, a change in control of the Company or a specified date. Stock units can vest according to a schedule or immediately upon award. Stock options generally vest over a three-year period, first year cliff vesting with quarterly vesting thereafter on the three-year awards, and have a ten-year life. Stock options outstanding are subject to time-based vesting as described above and thus are not performance-based.
 
 
     As of March 31, 2015, there were 8,345,239 stock units and 123,500 shares subject to options outstanding, the Company issued 1,071,772 shares as payments for services, and 459,489 shares were available for future grants under the Incentive Plan.

2014 Equity Plan
 
The Company has issued share-based stock, stock unit and option awards to employees, non-executive directors and outside consultants under the Incentive Plan, which was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in November 2014. The Incentive Plan allows for the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued in the form of stock options, stock awards, stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and other share-based awards. The exercise price for all equity awards issued under the Incentive Plan is based on the fair market value of the common stock. Currently, because the Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTCQB, the fair market value of the common stock is equal to the last-sale price reported by the OTCQB as of the date of determination, or if there were no sales on such date, on the last date preceding such date on which a sale was reported. Generally, each vested stock unit entitles the recipient to receive one share of Company common stock which is eligible for settlement at the earliest of their termination, a change in control of the Company or a specified date. Stock units can vest according to a schedule or immediately upon award. Stock options generally vest over a three-year period, first year cliff vesting with quarterly vesting thereafter on the three-year awards, and have a ten-year life. Stock options outstanding are subject to time-based vesting as described above and thus are not performance-based.
 
As of March 31, 2015, there were 10,390,000 stock units outstanding, the Company issued 10,390,000 shares to employees and consultants, and 9,630,000 shares were available for future grants under the Incentive Plan.
 
Stock-based Compensation
 
The stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $630,518, for the issuance of stock units and stock options. The stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $564,226. The Company calculates the fair value of the stock units based upon the quoted market value of the common stock at the date of grant. The Company calculates the fair value of each stock option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the following weighted average assumptions were utilized for the stock option granted during the period:

   
March 31, 2015
 
Expected life (in years)
   
6.0
 
Expected volatility
   
222.79
%
Average risk free interest rate
   
1.54
%
Dividend yield
   
0
%
 
     The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common shares over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. Expected life in years is based on the “simplified” method as permitted by ASC Topic 718. The Company believes that all stock options issued under its stock option plans meet the criteria of “plain vanilla” stock options. The Company uses a term of six years for all employee stock options. The risk free interest rate is based on average rates for five and seven year treasury notes as published by the Federal Reserve.

Warrants
 
                On December 7, 2011, the Company entered into a promissory note with Dawson James Securities, Inc. (“DJS”) whereby, as compensation for consulting services rendered, the Company agreed to pay DJS a sum of $50,000 at a rate of 8.0% per annum. On January 28, 2013, the Company paid DJS $54,548, which represents the principal and accrued interest due on the note, discharging the note in full. The Company issued 380,973 warrants in connection with the Dawson James notes. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.10 and expire December 6, 2018.
  
The Company issued 250,000 warrants in connection with the February 2014 Convertible Debentures. The warrants had an exercise price of $0.50 and expire February 13, 2019 (See Note 4). On March 6, 2015 the Company entered into an agreement with the note holder to extend the February 2014 Convertible Debentures for six months. As consideration for the extension, the Company granted the note holder an additional 250,000 warrants and reduced the exercise price of the warrants from $0.50 to $0.30. (See Note 7).
 
The Company issued 750,000 warrants in connection with the January 2015 Non-Convertible Debentures. The warrants, are exercisable for five years from the closing date at an exercise price of $0.30 per share of Common Stock.  The warrants contain anti-dilution protection, including protection upon dilutive issuances. (See Notes 7 and 8).
 
At March 31, 2015, there are 1,630,973 fully vested warrants outstanding.
 
Warrant Derivative Liability
 
The Warrants issued in connection with the January 2015 Non-Convertible Debentures and the February 2014 Convertible Debenture are measured at fair value and classified as a liability because these warrants contain anti-dilution protection and therefore, cannot be considered indexed to the Company’s own stock which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815. The estimated fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model, resulting in a value of $235,736, which was limited to the value of the debt of $150,000 in accordance with the relative fair value method, and $76,299 respectively, on the date they were issued. The fair value will be affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, expected stock price volatility, the contractual term, and the risk-free interest rate. The Company will continue to classify the fair value of the warrants as a liability until the warrants are exercised, expire or are amended in a way that would no longer require these warrants to be classified as a liability, whichever comes first. The anti-dilution protection for the warrants survives for the life of the warrants which ends in January 2020 and March 2020. (See Notes 7 and 8).
 
 
The assumptions for the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model are represented in the table below for the warrants issued with the January 2015 Non-Convertible Notes and the February 2014 Convertible Debenture , reflected on a per share common stock equivalent basis.

Overview
 
             We are an emerging pharmaceutical company engaged in the commercialization, licensing, and development of safe and effective non-prescription medicine and consumer care products to improve men’s and women’s health and vitality and respiratory diseases.  We provide innovative and uniquely presented and packaged health solutions through our over-the-counter, (“OTC”) medicines and consumer and health products, which we market directly or through commercial partners to primary care physicians, urologists, gynecologists and therapists, and directly to consumers through on-line channels, retailers and wholesalers. Our business model leverages our ability to acquire and in-license commercial products that are supported by scientific, and or clinical evidence, place them through our existing supply chain, retail and on-line channels to tap new markets and drive demand for such products and to establish physician relationships. We currently market five products in the United States and in 25 countries around the world through our commercial partners. 

Strategy
 
     Our corporate strategy focuses on two primary objectives:
 
 
1.
Developing a diversified product portfolio of exclusive, unique and patented non-prescription pharmaceutical and consumer health products through: (a) the acquisition of products or obtaining exclusive rights to market such products; and (b) the introduction of line extensions and reformulations of currently marketed products; and
 
 
2.
Building an innovative, global sales and marketing model through commercial partnerships with established complimentary partners that: (a) generates revenue; and (b) requires a lower cost structure compared to traditional pharmaceutical companies.
 
We believe that our proven ability to market, license, acquire and develop brand name non-prescription pharmaceutical and consumer health products uniquely positions us to commercialize our products and grow in this market in a differentiated way.
 
Sales and Marketing Strategy
 
 Our sales and marketing strategy is based on (a) working with direct commercial channel partners in the U.S. and also directly marketing the products ourselves to primary care physicians, urologists, gynecologists and therapists and to other healthcare providers and (b) working with exclusive commercial partners outside of the U.S. that would be responsible for sales and marketing in those territories. We market and distribute our products in the U.S. through retailers, wholesalers and online channels. We also promote our products directly to primary care physicians, urologists, gynecologists and therapists and to other healthcare providers through a co-promotion partnership with Consortia Health. Our strategy outside the U.S. is to partner with companies who can effectively market and sell our products in their countries through their direct marketing and sales teams. The strategy of working to commercialize our products internationally is designed to limit our expenses and fix our cost structure, enabling us to increase our reach while minimizing the incremental spending impact on the Company.

Revenue: The Company recognized revenue of $196,852 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $166,088 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in revenue of $30,764, was due to the launch of our products with several of our international commercial partners.
   
Cost of Goods Sold: We recognized cost of goods sold of $76,420 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $55,851 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The cost of goods sold includes the cost of inventory, shipping and royalties.  The increase in cost of goods sold is a result of the corresponding increase in revenue during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Research & Development: Research and development expenses are mainly related to the development and post marketing studies supporting Zestra®, Zestra Glide®, Sensum+® and EjectDelay®.  There were no research & development costs in the quarter ended March 31, 2015, as the Company has completed many of its post marketing studies and launched the products for sale.  We do not expect to incur any significant research and development costs related to Fluticare TM, as the ANDA has been submitted and we are awaiting FDA correspondence.
 
Stock-Based Compensation: Stock-based compensation expense consisted of expense related to common stock, stock units and stock options granted to employees, the board, and consultants.  Stock based compensation expense for consultants included legal, sales and marketing, and investor relations support. Stock based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $895,071 compared to $717,980 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase was primarily related to additional restricted stock units given to employees.  We expect to continue to use equity instruments in lieu of cash to pay certain vendors and employees.
 
General and Administrative: General and administrative expenses consist primarily of sales and marketing support, legal, accounting, public company costs and other infrastructure expenses related to the launch of our products.
 
General and administrative expenses decreased by $49,677 to $629,351 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, from $679,028 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This was primarily due to a decrease in consulting fees related to the preparation for product launch.  Additionally, our general and administrative expenses include professional fees, investor relations, insurance premiums, public reporting costs and general corporate expenses. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase most notably in the area of compensation as we build our business and increase our sales and commercialization efforts of our products.
 
 
Interest expense: Interest expense primarily includes interest related to the Company’s debt and amortization of debt discount (See Notes 7 and 8).
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, interest expense was $173,882, which included amortization of debt discount of $72,513, compared to $208,494 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease of $34,612 was primarily due to an decrease in interest expense related to the Convertible Debenture Line of Credit and the reduction in debt due to the payoff of the December 2013 Debenture.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
             The Company’s operations have been financed primarily through advances from officers, directors and related parties, outside capital, and from revenues generated from the recent launch of its products and commercial partnerships signed for the sale and distribution of its products.. These funds have provided the Company with the resources to operate its business, to sell and support its products, attract and retain key personnel, and add new products to its portfolio. To date, the Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations each year since its inception. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $13 million.
 
            The Company has raised funds through the issuance of debt and the sale of common stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 the Company has raised $0.15 million in funds, which include $0.1 million from the issuance of non-convertible debentures to unrelated third parties in January 2015, and $0.05 million in proceeds from the issuance of additional non-convertible debt instruments to related parties. The Company has also issued equity instruments where possible to pay for services from vendors and consultants.
 
            As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $0.05 million in cash and cash equivalents, $1.1 million in cash available for use under the line of credit convertible debenture with a related party, and $0.1 million in accounts receivable. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized $0.2 million in revenues from sales of its commercially available products.  While the Company had a working capital deficiency of $0.6 million at March 31, 2015, the Company expects that its existing capital resources, revenues from sales of its products, upcoming sales milestone payments from the commercial partners signed for its products, along with the $1.1 million in funds currently available for use under the LOC Convertible Debenture will be sufficient to allow the Company to continue its operations, commence the product development process, and launch selected products through July 1, 2016. 

In addition, the Company continues to seek new licensing agreements from third-party vendors to commercialize its products in territories outside the U.S., which could result in upfront, milestone, royalty and/or other payments.  The Company may also seek to raise capital, debt or equity, from outside sources to pay for further expansion and development of its business, and to meet current obligations. Such capital may not be available to the Company when it needs it on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.  However, the Company’s actual needs will depend on numerous factors, including timing of introducing its products to the marketplace, its ability to attract additional ex-US distributors for its products and its ability to in-license in non-partnered territories and/or develop new product candidates. The Company may also seek to raise capital, debt or equity, from outside sources to pay for further expansion and development of its business, and to meet current obligations. Such capital may not be available to the Company when it needs it on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. 

The Company’s principle debt instruments include the following:

February 2014 Convertible Debenture
 
On February 13, 2014, we sold to an unrelated third party accredited investor for $300,000, a (i) convertible debenture in the principal face amount of $330,000 (the “February 2014 Convertible Debenture”) and (ii) warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of our common stock (“Warrant Agreement”).
 
The February 2014 Convertible Debenture bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum and the principal amount and interest are payable on March 13, 2015. The February 2014 Convertible Debenture may be converted in whole or in part at any time prior to March 13, 2015, by the holder at a conversion price of $0.40 per share, subject to adjustment. The Company has the option to redeem the February 2014 Convertible Debenture before its maturity by payment in cash of 125% of the then outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest and other amounts due.
 
The Warrant Agreement provides the holder with the right to acquire up to 250,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments as described in the Warrant Agreement, at any time through the fifth anniversary of its issuance date.
 
 
On March 12, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment agreement whereby the February 2014 Convertible Debenture was amended. Pursuant to the Agreement, the maturity date of the Debenture was amended from March 13, 2015 to September 13, 2015. In addition, the Debenture was amended so that the Company may prepay the Debenture at its option.

In connection with the execution of the Agreement, the Company issued 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and amended and restated the warrant. The Warrant was originally exercisable until February 13, 2019 for 250,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, subject to anti-dilution protection. The Warrant, as amended and restated, has been increased to 500,000 shares, and is exercisable until March 12, 2020 at an exercise price of $0.30 per share of Common Stock. The Warrant, as amended and restated, contains certain anti-dilution protection provisions.
 
January 2015 Non-Convertible Debentures

On January 21, 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an unrelated third party accredited investor, and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer whereby the Company issued and sold promissory notes in the principal face amount of $165,000 and warrants to purchase up to 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for gross proceeds of $150,000.

The Notes are due on July 31, 2015 and accrued a one-time interest charge of 8% on the closing date.  The warrants, are exercisable for five years from the closing date at an exercise price of $0.30 per share of Common Stock.  The warrants contain anti-dilution protection, including protection upon dilutive issuances.

LOC Convertible Debenture
 
     In January 2013, we entered into the a line of credit convertible debenture, (the “LOC Convertible Debenture”) with our President and Chief Executive Officer, which was amended and restated on March 18, 2013, amended on May 6, 2013, amended and restated on November 11, 2013, amended on February 19, 2014 and amended and restated on July 22, 2014. Under the terms of the LOC Convertible Debenture: (1) we can request to borrow up to a maximum principal amount of $1,500,000 from time to time; (2) amounts borrowed bear an annual interest rate of 8%; (3) the holder’s funding commitment automatically terminates on the earlier of either (a) when we complete a financing with minimum net proceeds of at least $4 million (the “Future Financing”), or (b) July 1, 2016; and (4) the holder had sole discretion to determine whether or not to make an advance upon our request.  Upon the occurrence of the Future Financing, the LOC Convertible Debenture shall automatically convert into the securities issued in the Future Financing on the same terms and conditions.  In the event the Future Financing does not occur on or prior to July 1, 2016, the LOC Convertible Debenture shall automatically convert into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.312 per share.
 
     On February 19, 2014, we agreed with the holder of the LOC Convertible Debenture to convert the then outstanding principal and interest owed of $476,165 into 1,190,411 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.40 per share. As of March 31, 2015 the principal amount owed under the LOC Convertible Debenture was $424,192, and there was approximately $1.1 million remaining available to use.

    For the three months ended March 31, 2015, cash used in operating activities was $91,765, consisting primarily of the net loss for the period of $1,501,758, which was partially offset by non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $630,518, common stock, stock units and stock options issued for services of $264,553, and amortization of debt discount of $138,899.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
 
As of March 31, 2015, we evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")).
 
Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. The design of any disclosure control and procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
 
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
 
     During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
