Business
Description
Currently
the Company is focused on immune modulation for the treatment of several specific diseases. Immune modulation refers to the ability to
upregulate (make more active) or downregulate (make less active) one’s immune system.
Activating
one’s immune system is now an accepted method to treat certain cancers, reduce recovery time from viral or bacterial infections
and to prevent illness. Additionally, inhibiting one’s immune system is vital for reducing inflammation, autoimmune disorders and
allergic reactions.
TSOI
is developing a range of immune-modulatory agents to target certain cancers, schizophrenia, suicidal ideation, traumatic brain injury,
and for daily health.
Nutraceutical
Division – TSOI has been producing high quality nutraceuticals. Its current flagship product, QuadraMune®, is a multi-patented
synergistic blend of pterostilbene, sulforaphane, epigallocatechingallate, and thymoquinone. QuadraMune has been shown to increase Natural
Killer Cell activity and healthy Cytokine production. Our synergistic blend of ingredients helps the immune system fight off common and
complex ailments and promote healthy T Cell activity. Recently the Company was approved to sell certain nutraceuticals on the Amazon
Platform.
Cellular
Division – TSOI obtained exclusive rights to a patented adult stem cell for development of therapeutics in the area of chronic
traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) and Lung Pathology (LP).
The
stem cell licensed, termed “JadiCell” is unique in that it possesses features of mesenchymal stem cells, however, outperforms
these cells in terms of a) enhanced growth factor production; b) augmented ability to secrete exosomes; and c) superior angiogenic and
neurogenic ability.
Chronic
Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is caused by repetitive concussive/sub-concussive hits to the head sustained over a period of years and
is often found in football players. The condition is characterized by memory loss, impulsive/erratic behavior, impaired judgment, aggression,
depression, and dementia. In many patients with CTE, it is anatomically characterized by brain atrophy, reduced mass of frontal and temporal
cortices, and medial temporal lobe. TSOI has previously filed several patents in the area of CTE based on modulating the brain microenvironment
to enhance receptivity of regenerative cells such as stem cells. On March 4, 2021, the Company received an IND Serial # 27377 for a clinical
trial of 10 patients with CTE.
On
August 4th, 2021, the Company announced clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to initiate a Phase III pivotal trial for
registration of the Company’s JadiCell™ universal donor stem cell as a treatment for COVID-19 associated lung failure under
IND # 19757. In previous studies the Company has demonstrated the superior activity of JadiCell to other types of stem cells including
bone marrow, adipose, cord blood, and placenta. Furthermore, the JadiCell was shown to be 100% effective in saving the lives of COVID-19
patients under the age of 85 in a double-blind placebo controlled clinical trial with patients in the ICU on a ventilator. In patients
over the age of 85 the survival rate was 91%. The Company also recently announced the launching of Phase III for IND # 19757 with Biorasi
LLC, a global, full-service CRO, who will run the clinical trial.
In
addition, the Company has filed data with the FDA, as part of IND #17448, which demonstrated that treatment of cancer patients with StemVacs™
resulted in enhanced activity of a type of immunological cell called “natural killer” cells, otherwise known as “NK
cells.”
The
Company has also developed an allogenic version of StemVacs and has filed patents to cover activating universal donor immune system cells
called dendritic cells in a manner so that upon injection they reprogram the body’s NK cells.
Most
recently the Company announced filing of a patent application covering the use of JadiCells™ for treatment of epilepsy and
associated conditions.

Chronic
Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) –
Right To Try
On
December 10, 2018, Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc., announced the signing of an agreement between TSOI and Jadi Cell LLC for
licensing of the Jadi Cell universal donor adult stem cell, as covered in US Patent No.: 9,803,176 B2 for use in Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy
(CTE), and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
In
addition, on February 9, 2021, we obtained exclusive rights under the same for use of US Patent No.: 9,803,176 B2 in the treatment of
acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and other lung pathologies. The JadiCell was reported in a publication from the University
of Miami following a Phase 1/2 clinical trial, demonstrating intravenous administration of JadiCells, resulted in a significant survival
improvement in COVID-19 patients. The Phase 1/2 double blind, placebo-controlled trial treated 12 advanced COVID-19 patients with 100
million JadiCells™ intravenously at days 0 and 3, and 12 patients received placebo control. At 28 days 91% of JadiCell treated
patients survived whereas only 42% of patients in the placebo group survived. There were no adverse effects associated with JadiCell
administration. For those treated with the JadiCell under the age of 85 the survival rate was 100% and in those over 85 the survival
rate was 91% making the JadiCell the most effective therapy to date in the entire world to treat ARDS.
The
JadiCell product, which belongs to the mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) family of cells, is a unique adult stem cell, which produces higher
levels of therapeutic factors compared to other stem cells. The cells have demonstrated safety in animal models and pilot human trials.
The Jadi Cell product is generated from umbilical cords, which are a source of medical waste and available in large quantities at inexpensive
prices.
Chronic
Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is caused by repetitive concussive/sub-concussive hits to the head sustained over a period of years and
is often found in football players. The condition is characterized by memory loss, impulsive/erratic behavior, impaired judgment, aggression,
depression, and dementia. In many patients with CTE, it is anatomically characterized by brain atrophy, reduced mass of frontal and temporal
cortices, and medial temporal lobe.
Traumatic
brain injury (TBI) is an insult to the brain, not of a degenerative or congenital nature, but caused by external physical force that
may produce a diminished or altered state of consciousness, which results in an impairment of cognitive abilities or physical functioning.
CTE
represents a significant unmet medical need which we believe is amenable to stem cell intervention. We are eager to accelerate treatments
and potential cures for debilitating conditions such as CTE and traumatic brain injury and plan to leverage New regulatory pathways such
as the recently approved “Right to Try” Law to deliver these medicines as soon as possible to patients which currently have
no other options.
The
JadiCell product because of its advanced stage of development in contrast to other stem cell types, which require years, if not decades
of development before entry into American patients, will allow us we believe to be treating patients within 12 months. Currently means
of isolating, producing, scaling up, and delivery of the cells has all been worked out by Jadi Cell and Collaborators.
On
December 17, 2020, the Company filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) application seeking permission from the Food and Drug Administration

marrow, adipose, cord blood, and placenta. Furthermore, the JadiCell was shown to be 100% effective in saving the lives of COVID-19 patients
under the age of 85 in a double-blind placebo controlled clinical trial with patients in the ICU on a ventilator. In patients over the
age of 85 the survival rate was 91%. The Company also recently announced the launching of Phase III for IND # 19757 with Biorasi LLC,
a global, full-service CRO, who will run the clinical trial.

at a discounted rate, of nutraceuticals which are being explored for antiinflammation/suicide prevention activity.
Treatment
of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Using JadiCell™ Universal Donor Adult Stem Cells
On
October 7, 2022, the Company formed Breathe Biologics, Inc. and licensed to them a patent application titled “Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal
Stem Cells for Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Lung Degeneration” that discloses means of treating lung
degenerative diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (CODP) using umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells such as JadiCells.
In
addition, the Company has transferred ownership of the filed investigational drug application titled “JadiCell Therapy for COPD”
to determine safety and efficacy of intravenously administered allogeneic JadiCell umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells in patients
with moderate-to-severe COPD. The Primary Endpoint, which is toxicity, will be assessed by number of adverse events (AEs). The Secondary
Endpoint, which is efficacy will be evaluated at baseline and days 30, 60, and 90.
COPD
is a consistently progressive, ultimately fatal disease for which no treatment exists capable of either reversing or even interrupting
its course. It afflicts more than 5% of the population in many countries, and it accordingly represents the third most frequent cause
of death in the U.S., where it accounts for more than 600 billion in health care costs, morbidity, and mortality.
COPD
possesses several features making it ideal for stem cell-based interventions: a) the quality of life and lack of progress demands
the ethical exploration of novel approaches. For example, bone marrow stem cells have been used in over a thousand cardiac patients
with some indication of efficacy. Adipose-based stem cell therapies have been successfully used in thousands of race-horses and
companion animals without adverse effects, as well as numerous clinical trials are ongoing and published human data reports no
adverse effects.
Mesenchymal
Stem Cells (MSCs) are potent immunomodulatory cells that recognize sites of injury, limit effector T cell reactions, and stimulate regulatory
cell populations (i.e., T-regs) via growth factors, cytokines, and other mediators. Simultaneously, MSCs also stimulate local
tissue regeneration via paracrine effects inducing angiogenic, anti-fibrotic and remodeling responses. Consequently, MSCs-based therapy
represents a viable treatment option for autoimmune conditions and other inflammatory disorders, yielding beneficial effects in models
of autoimmune Type 1 Diabetes, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis, Multiple Sclerosis, cardiac insufficiency,
and organ transplantation. MSCs have been reported to inhibit inflammation and fibrosis in the lungs, have shown safety in clinical trials
for ARDS, and have been recently suggested as useful to treat patients with severe COVID-19 based on their effects preventing or attenuating
the immunopathogenic cytokine storm.
Unfortunately,
evaluation of stem cell therapy in COPD has lagged behind other areas of regenerative investigation; b) the underlying cause of COPD
appears to be inflammatory and/or immunologically mediated. The destruction of alveolar tissue is associated with T cell reactivity,
pathological pulmonary macrophage activation, and auto-antibody production. Mesenchymal stem cells have been demonstrated to potently
suppress autoreactive T cells, inhibit macrophage activation, and autoantibody responses. Additionally, mesenchymal stem cells can be
purified in high concentrations from adipose stromal vascular tissue together with high concentrations of T regulatory cells, which in
animal models are approximately 100 times more potent than peripheral T cells at secreting cytokines therapeutic for COPD such as IL-10.
Additionally, use of adipose derived cells has yielded promising clinical results in autoimmune conditions such as multiple sclerosis;
and c) Pulmonary stem cells capable of regenerating damaged parenchymal tissue have been reported. Administration of mesenchymal stem
cells into neonatal oxygen-damaged lungs, which results in COPD-like alveoli dysplasia, has been demonstrated to yield improvements in
two recent publications.
Based
on the above rationale for stem cell-based COPD treatments, we are proposing a 10 patient Phase I safety trial to assess ability of JadiCell,
a type of umbilical cord derived stem cells to improve objective and quality of life parameters in patients with moderate to severe COPD.
MSCs
can be derived in large number from the Umbilical Cord (UC). JadiCells are a type of UC-MSCs, which can be utilized in the allogeneic
setting and have demonstrated safety and efficacy in clinical trials for a number of disease conditions including inflammatory and immune-based
diseases. UC-MSCs have been shown to inhibit inflammation and fibrosis in the lungs.
JadiCell
UC-MSCs have been utilized to treat patients with severe COVID-19 and have yielded promising results, preventing, or attenuating the
cytokine storm. JadiCells have been recently introduced intravenously in patients with a neurodegenerative disorder and have been approved
for testing in patients with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). We hypothesize that JadiCells will exert beneficial therapeutic effects in COPD.
Breast
Cancer Immunotherapy
Recently
the Company announced the formation of a Spin-Off Company, Res Nova Bio, Inc., dedicated to the development of cancer inhibiting anti-angiogenesis
immunotherapies. Res Nova Bio has licensed from Therapeutic Solutions International intellectual property covering StemVacs-V which is
our iPSC derived platform technology announced in May of 2021. The technology utilizes pluripotent stem cells called iPSCs in order to
generate new cells which resemble tumor blood vessels that are made to act as a “therapeutic vaccine”. Specifically, the
administration of StemVacs-V stimulates the immune system to selectively kill blood vessels that feed the tumor but not healthy blood
vessels. It is believed that for every 1 tumor blood vessel cell that is killed, 200-300 tumor cells are also killed as a result.
In
addition to the license, the Company has transferred ownership of the IND titled “Treatment of Metastatic Breast Cancer
by StemVacs-V Cancer Immunotherapeutic” to Res Nova Bio with the primary objective being safety and feasibility of StemVacs-V administration
at 12 months as assessed by lack of adverse medical events. The secondary objective is efficacy as judged by tumor response, time to
progression, and immunological monitoring.
Cellular
Manufacturing and Cell Banking
On
October 18, 2021, the Company announced the formation of Allogen Biologics Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of TSOI. Allogen Biologics
will house intellectual property and Standard Operating Procedures related to generation of the Company’s existing and anticipated
cellular therapeutics. In addition, Allogen will house and maintain all relevant cell banks.
On
May 10, 2022, Allogen Biologic, Inc, and Therapeutic Solutions International Inc, entered into an Exclusive Patent License Agreement
(EPLA) for Patent Application Serial No. 63/254,469, filed by Licensor and titled as: Umbilical Cord Derived Regenerative and Immune
Modulatory Stem Cell Populations.
GOVERNMENT
REGULATION
The
Company’s business is subject to varying degrees of regulation by a number of government authorities in the United States, including
the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The Company will be subject to additional agencies and regulations if it enters the manufacturing business. Various agencies of the state
and localities in which we operate and in which our products are sold also regulate our business, such as the California Department of
Health Services, Food and Drug Branch. The areas of our business that these and other authorities regulate include, among others:
| ● | product
claims and advertising; |
| ● | product
labels; |
| ● | product
ingredients; and |
| ● | how
we package, distribute, import, export, sell and store our products. |
The
FDA, in particular, regulates the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, storage, labeling, promotion, distribution and sale of vitamins
and other nutritional supplements in the United States, while the FTC regulates marketing and advertising claims. The FDA issued a final
rule called “Statements Made for Dietary Supplements Concerning the Effect of the Product on the Structure or Function of the Body,”
which includes regulations requiring companies, their suppliers and manufacturers to meet Good Manufacturing Practices in the preparation,
packaging, storage and shipment of their products. Management is committed to meeting or exceeding the standards set by the FDA.
The
FDA has also issued regulations governing the labeling and marketing of dietary and nutritional supplement products. They include:
| ● | the
identification of dietary or nutritional supplements and their nutrition and ingredient labeling; |
| ● | requirements
related to the wording used for claims about nutrients, health claims, and statements of
nutritional support; |
| ● | labeling
requirements for dietary or nutritional supplements for which “high potency”
and “antioxidant” claims are made; |
| ● | notification
procedures for statements on dietary and nutritional supplements; and |
| ● | pre-market
notification procedures for new dietary ingredients in nutritional supplements. |
The
Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) revised the existing provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act
concerning the composition and labeling of dietary supplements and defined dietary supplements to include vitamins, minerals, herbs,
amino acids and other dietary substances used to supplement diets. DSHEA generally provides a regulatory framework to help ensure safe,
quality dietary supplements and the dissemination of accurate information about such products. The FDA is generally prohibited from regulating
active ingredients in dietary supplements as drugs unless product claims, such as claims that a product may heal, mitigate, cure or prevent
an illness, disease or malady, trigger drug status.
The
Company is also subject to a variety of other regulations in the United States, including those relating to taxes, labor and employment,
import and export, and intellectual property.
EMPLOYEES
As
of December 31, 2022, we had three full-time employees, all non-union. We believe that our relations with our employees are good.
COMPETITION
The
bio-technology, bio-pharma, and nutraceutical industries are subject to rapid technological change. Competition from domestic and foreign
companies, large pharmaceutical companies and other interested businesses is intense and expected to increase. A number of companies
with significantly greater resources are pursuing the development of pharmaceuticals, biologics, and nutraceuticals in our targeted areas.
As
a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide a statement of risk factors. However, we believe this information may be valuable
to our shareholders for this filing. We reserve the right to not provide risk factors in our future filings. Our primary risk factors
and other considerations include:
This
Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements concerning our future programs, expenses, revenue, liquidity and cash
needs as well as our plans and strategies. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and we assume no obligation
to update this information, except as required by applicable laws and regulations. Numerous factors could cause actual results to differ
significantly from the results described in these forward-looking statements, including the following risk factors.
Internal
Control
Our
management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. Material weaknesses in our internal control
over financial reporting could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and could lead to misinformation being disseminated to
the public.
Our
management concluded that as of December 31, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, and that material
weaknesses existed in the following areas as of December 31, 2022:
| (1) | we
do not employ full time in-house personnel with the technical knowledge to identify and address
some of the reporting issues surrounding certain complex or non-routine transactions. With
respect to material, complex and non-routine transactions, management has and will continue
to seek guidance from third-party experts and/or consultants to gain a thorough understanding
of these transactions; |
| (2) | we
have inadequate segregation of duties consistent with the control objectives including but
not limited to the disbursement process, transaction or account changes, and the performance
of account reconciliations and approval; and |
| (3) | we
have ineffective controls over the period end financial disclosure and reporting process
caused by reliance on third-party experts and/or consultants and insufficient accounting
staff. |
Based
on our current plan, we believe we will need additional capital to support our operations.
Based
on our current business plan, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2022 will not be sufficient to meet our anticipated
cash requirements during the twelve-month period subsequent to the issuance of the financial statements included in this Annual Report
on Form 10-K. Our current commercialization of products and clinical trial strategy will undergo continual prioritization and in the
future we may adjust our commercialization efforts to preserve our existing cash. We need to raise additional capital to fund our operations.
We may raise additional capital through equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations and/or licensing arrangements. Additional funds
may not be available when we need them on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be
required to delay, reduce the scope of, or curtail, our operations. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities,
our shareholders will experience dilution, and debt financing or other preferred equity instruments, if available, may involve restrictive
covenants.
There
is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our
recurring losses from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and as a result, our independent
registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our financial statements as of and for the year
ended December 31, 2022 with respect to this uncertainty. This going concern uncertainty, and any future going concern uncertainty, could
materially limit our ability to raise additional capital. We have incurred significant losses since our inception, and it is possible
we will never achieve future profitability. As a result, we continue to incur significant general and administrative expenses related
to our operations. As a result, we have incurred substantial net losses to date. Our net losses for the years ended December 31, 2022
and 2021 were $3.3 million and $3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $17.2 million. The
perception that we may not be able to continue as a going concern may cause potential partners or investors to choose not to deal with
us due to concerns about our ability to meet our contractual and financial obligations.
We
may not be able to effectively manage our potential growth and the execution of our business plan.
Our
potential growth and the execution of our business plan together are likely to place significant strain on our managerial, operational
and financial resources. To effectively manage our potential growth and execute our business plan, we will need to, among other things:
There
can be no assurance that we will be able to accomplish any or all of the above goals. If we prove unable to effectively execute our business
plan or manage our growth, it is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, including liquidity and
profitability, and our results of operations.
If
our proposed product sales model does not successfully operate at a profit our growth strategy may be impeded.
To
effectively expand and meet our growth objectives our products sales model must be executed upon in a profitable manner.
Profitability is dependent upon a variety of factors, some beyond our control, including, but not limited to the amount of traffic
we can consistently attract to our brand, to retail sales in “brick and mortar” retailers, to our website, and our
ability to stock or otherwise make available products that our customers purchase, our ability to stock or otherwise make available
the best new products as they enter the market, our ability to provide consistent and superior customer service, the general
economic conditions, particularly in the U.S., that could impact the amount of money customers spend collectively on the products we
sell, and/or that could reduce the amount of money our average customer spends, and/or could reduce the number or frequency of
repeat orders for products, and/or could result in customers finding products in other venues if they can find those products for a
lower price. Other factors that could impact our ability to execute on our business model in a profitable manner include, but are
not limited to, competition in our markets, recruiting, training and retaining qualified personnel and management, maintenance of
required local, state and federal governmental approvals and permits, costs associated with principal component products and
supplies, delivery shortages or interruptions, consumer trends, our ability to finance operations externally, changes in supply or
prices of the products we sell and disruptions or business failures among our product suppliers, distributors, warehouses or
shippers. Any failure to operate in a profitable manner could hurt our ability to meet our growth objectives by attracting
licensees, and our business, financial condition, including liquidity and profitability, and our results of operations would be
negatively affected.
We
face significant competition for our products.
The
markets in which we operate are intensely competitive, continually evolving and, in some cases, subject to rapid change. Our competitors
include:
| ● | traditional
and well established companies with recognized and well patronized brands in the nutritional
supplements and health products industry segment; |
| ● | entrenched
nutritional supplements and health products companies with well known customer on-line services
and portals and other high-traffic web sites that provide sales access to healthcare and
nutritional supplements and related products; and |
| ● | companies
that focus on providing on-line and/or off-line healthcare related content, including some
that promote competitor brands. |
| ● | retain
additional personnel across several departments in the Company; |
| ● | develop
strong customer loyalty for new products in a crowded competitive marketplace; |
| ● | continue
to establish and continue to increase awareness of our brands; |
| ● | price
our products and services at points which will allow us to maximize sales while at the same
time maximizing gross profit margins; |
| ● | establish,
maintain, expand and manage multiple relationships with various vendors, strategic partners,
licensees and other third parties, including suppliers of the products we sell on our website
and elsewhere, warehousing distributors, shipping companies and others; |
| ● | rapidly
respond to competitive developments, particularly when new high-demand products become available; |
| ● | build
an operations structure to support our business and provide efficient and effective customer
service and support; |
| ● | expand
our IT infrastructure to respond to increasing customer traffic to our website, demand for
content from site users and to manage growing e-commerce transactions; |
| ● | establish
and maintain effective financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures; |
| ● | control
our expenses; |
| ● | provide
competitive employee salaries and benefit packages; and, |
| ● | avoid
lawsuits and other adverse claims. |
Many of our competitors have greater financial, technical, product development, marketing and other resources than we do. These companies
may be better known than we are and have more customers than we do. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to compete successfully
against these companies or any alliances they have formed or may form. If we are unable to compete with one or more of our competitors,
our growth strategy may be impeded, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition, including liquidity and profitability,
and our results of operations.
Government
regulation could adversely affect our business.
Our
products and their associated component ingredients are subject to existing and potential government regulation. Our failure, or the
failure of our business partners or third party providers, to accurately anticipate the application of laws and regulations affecting
our products and the manner in which we deliver them, or any failure to comply, could create liability for us, result in adverse publicity,
or negatively affect our business. In addition, new laws and regulations, or new interpretations of existing laws and regulations, may
be adopted with respect to consumer protection and other issues, including pricing, products liability, copyrights and patents, distribution
and characteristics and quality of products and services. We cannot predict whether these laws or regulations will change or how such
changes will affect our business. Any of this government regulation could impact our growth strategy, which could negatively affect our
business, financial condition, including liquidity and profitability, and our results of operations.
Third
parties may claim that we are infringing their intellectual property, and we could suffer significant litigation or licensing expense
or be prevented from providing certain services, and which may otherwise harm our business.
We
could be subject to claims that we are misappropriating or infringing intellectual property, trade secrets or other proprietary
rights of others. These claims, even if not meritorious, could be expensive to defend and divert management’s attention from
our operations. If we become liable to third parties for infringing these rights, we could be required to pay substantial damage
awards and to develop non-infringing products, obtain a license or cease selling the products that use or contain the infringing
intellectual property. We may be unable to develop non-infringing products or obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms, or
at all. Any claims against our company for infringement could impede our growth strategy, which could negatively affect our
business, financial condition, including liquidity and profitability, and our results of operations.
We
may be subject to claims brought against us as a result of product associated content we provide.
Consumers
are reasonably expected to access health-related information regarding our products through our on-line web site. If our content, or
content we obtain from third parties, contains inaccuracies, it is possible that consumers or others may sue us for various causes of
action. Although our planned web site contains terms and conditions, including disclaimers of liability, that are intended to reduce
or eliminate our liability, the law governing the validity and enforceability of on-line agreements with consumers that provide the terms
and conditions for use of our public or private portals are unenforceable. A finding by a court that these agreements are invalid and
that we are subject to liability could harm our business and require costly changes to our business. We have planned editorial procedures
in place to provide quality control of the information that we publish or provide. However, we cannot assure you that our editorial and
other quality control procedures will be sufficient to ensure that there are no errors or omissions in particular content. Even if potential
claims do not result in liability to us, the fact that we would need to investigate and defend against these claims could be expensive
and time consuming and could divert management’s attention away from our operations. In addition, our business is in part based
on establishing a reputation amongst consumers that our portals as trustworthy and dependable sources of healthcare information. Allegations
of impropriety or inaccuracy, even if unfounded, could therefore harm our reputation and business, which could negatively affect our
business, financial condition, including liquidity and profitability, and our results of operations.
Changes
in commodity and other operating costs or supply chain and business disruptions could adversely affect our results of operations.
Changes
in product costs are a part of our business; any increase in the prices that suppliers charge for their products could adversely affect
our operating results. We remain susceptible to increases in prices as a result of factors beyond our control, such as general economic
conditions, seasonal fluctuations, weather conditions, demand, safety concerns, product recalls, labor disputes and government regulations.
We rely on third-party distribution companies to deliver ingredients to our manufacturers and ultimately our products to customers. Interruption
of distribution services due to financial distress or other issues could adversely affect our operations.
We
face substantial competition in attracting and retaining qualified senior management and key personnel and may be unable to develop and
grow our business if we cannot attract and retain such senior management and key personnel.
As
an early stage company, our ability to develop and grow our business, to a large extent, depends upon our ability to attract, hire and
retain highly qualified and knowledgeable senior management and key personnel who possess the skills and experience necessary to satisfy
our business needs. Our ability to attract and retain such senior management and key personnel will depend on numerous factors, including
our ability to offer salaries, benefits and professional growth opportunities that are comparable with and competitive to those offered
by more established companies operating in our marketplace. We may be required to invest significant time and resources in attracting
and retaining additional senior management and key personnel as needed. Moreover, many of the companies with which we will compete for
any such individuals have greater financial and other resources, affording them the ability to undertake more extensive and aggressive
hiring campaigns, than we can. The normal running of our operations may be interrupted, and our financial condition and results of operations
negatively affected, as a result of any inability on our part to attract or retain the services of qualified and experienced senior management
and key personnel, or should our prospective key personnel refuse to serve, or, once appointed, leave prior to a suitable replacement
being found.
COVID-19
On
January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern”
and on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 include
restrictions on travel, quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. COVID-19,
and actions taken to mitigate it, have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets
of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. While it is unknown how long these conditions will
last and what the complete financial effect will be to the Company, COVID-19 has had an adverse effect on our business, including our
supply chains and distribution systems. While we are taking diligent steps to mitigate disruptions to our supply chain, we are unable
to predict the extent or nature of these impacts, at this time, to our future financial condition and results of operations.
Risks
Associated With Our Restricted Securities
Because
there is currently a limited public trading market for our common stock, investor may not be able to resell stock.
Our
stock is now traded in OTC Markets under the stock symbol TSOI, which results in a very illiquid and limited market for our common stock.
There
is currently no liquid trading market for our common stock and we cannot ensure that one will ever develop or be sustained.
The
trading market for our common stock is currently not liquid. We cannot predict how liquid the market for our common stock might become.
Our common stock is quoted in OTC Markets under the symbol TSOI.
Our
common stock may be deemed a “penny stock”, which would make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.
Our
common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to companies
whose common stock is not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $4.00 per share,
other than companies that have had average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years or that have tangible net worth of
at least $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things,
that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability
inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure
document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements
of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited.
If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for
our securities and investors may find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.
Offers
or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
If
our stockholders have the right to sell substantial amounts of common stock in the public market, e.g. upon the expiration of any statutory
holding period under Rule 144, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and in anticipation of
which the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring,
also could make our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future, at a
time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate, more difficult.
The
elimination of monetary liability against our directors and officers under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Nevada law,
and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees, may result in substantial expenditures by the Company.
Article
6 of our Articles of Incorporation exculpates our directors and officers from certain monetary liabilities. Article 7 of our Articles
of Incorporation provides that we shall indemnify all directors (and all persons serving at our request as a director or officer of another
corporation) to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.
Further
pursuant to Article 7, the expenses of the indemnified person incurred in defending a civil suit or proceeding must be paid by us as
incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding under receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the indemnified person to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not
entitled to be indemnified by us.
The
foregoing indemnification obligations could result in us incurring substantial expenditures, which we may be unable to recoup. These
provisions and resultant costs may also discourage us from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary
duties even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders.
Public
company compliance may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers and directors.
The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related rules implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies.
As a public entity, these rules and regulations increase compliance costs and make certain activities more time consuming and costly.
As a public entity, these rules and regulations also make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability
insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract
and retain qualified persons to serve as directors or as executive officers.
We
do not plan to pay any cash or stock dividends in the foreseeable future.
The
payment of dividends upon our capital stock is solely within the discretion of our future board of directors and is dependent upon
our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions contained in our future financing instruments and
any other factors our board of directors may deem relevant. We have never declared or paid any cash or stock dividends on our
capital stock and we currently anticipate that we will retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our
business and, as such, do not intend on paying any cash or stock dividends in the foreseeable future.
