PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS History and Organization
Our company was organized on July 19, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada, originally with the name Generic Marketing Services, Inc. as a subsidiary of Basic Services, Inc., a Nevada corporation. The parent company Basic Services was engaged in the development of generic pharmaceutical products. The management of Basic Services decided to focus its attention on generic product development, and to form a subsidiary which solely focused on marketing products as compared to developing products. Effective October 2007 Basic Services spun off its subsidiary Generic Marketing Services with a distribution of one share of common stock of Generic Marketing Services issued to each Basic Services shareholder for each share of common stock of Basic Services owned. Generic Marketing Services ceased to be a subsidiary of Basic Services. On October 8, 2008, Generic Marketing Services amended its Articles of Incorporation to
change its corporate name to Total Nutraceutical Solutions, Inc. Our Business Total Nutraceutical Solutions, Inc., a global leader in mushroom research and development, focuses on discovering, formulating and marketing products composed primarily of organic natural whole mushroom foods, containing bioactive nutrients, such as L-Ergothioneine and Vitamin D, with potential health benefits. Our scientific strategy is to specialize in the development of production and analytic technologies for food and nutritional supplements mainly composed of mushrooms and their mycelial biomasses. Novel clinical models and biomarkers are used to show the nutritional and clinical efficacy of our products. In addition to our novel preventative healthcare formulations and nutritional approaches for a wide variety of human conditions and illnesses, we are also involved in the development, acquisition and ownership of breakthrough nutritional tools and products in the fields of animal husbandry and l
ivestock feeds. We have formulated proprietary mushroom based nutraceutical dietary supplement products that are made entirely of naturally occurring dietary substances which are manufactured under contract by a third party, Columbia Nutritional Services, Inc.. These naturally occurring dietary supplements have not been chemically altered, and we believe these products have both health benefits and mass appeal to people wanting natural and non-toxic nutritional-based healthcare. We market our products directly to the consumer utilizing network marketing programs, direct mail order, internet marketing, and commission sales people. We sell directly to consumers our own proprietary formulations of over the counter mushroom based nutraceutical products produced by an outside contract manufacturer. We define a nutraceutical product as a food or naturally occurring food supplement thought to have a beneficial effect on human and/or animal health. Products We currently market three new natural organic nutraceutical mushroom dietary supplement products, two for human consumption and one for the equine market. We have made application for trademarks for each of the three products and have received trademarks for ImmunoSANO and EquiSANO. We have primarily sold these products through our website. ImmuSANO is a proprietary nutritional blend of 6 medicinal mushrooms, each of which has different concentrations of bioactive enzymes and nutrients that may assist in balancing cellular function and promoting a stronger immune system. This product is sold in capsule form. GlucoSANO is designed to assist in maintaining more normal cellular metabolism and stabilizing blood sugar levels. This product is sold in capsule form. EquiSANO, for consumption by horses, is composed of a proprietary blend of 5 types of certified organic medicinal mushrooms, each of which contains bioactive nutrients that assist the horse in balancing cellular function 5
and promoting a stronger immune system which is associated with increased resistance to infections. This product is sold in powder form. These products are produced for us under contract with Columbia Nutritional Services, Inc. We maintain our inventory and ship the products from our offices in Stevenson, Washington. Mushroom dietary supplements have the nutritional potential to provide multiple health benefits for humans, including providing antioxidants, reducing inflammation, supporting the immune system, promoting healthy joints, increasing stamina, and reducing stress and anxiety. Research Agreements and Sponsored Research on the Nutritional Value of Mushrooms Marvin S. Hausman, M.D., our CEO and Chairman of the Board, beginning in 2006, through Northwest Medical Research Partners Inc., which is controlled by Dr. Hausman, developed certain intellectual property pursuant to research agreements with Pennsylvania State University dated May 1, 2006 and May 20, 2006. These research endeavors resulted in the filing of US Patent Application Serial Number 11/686,033 entitled Phytonutrient Compositions from Mushrooms or Filamentous Fungi and Methods of Use filed March 14, 2007 and US Patent Application Serial Number 61/047,268 entitled Methods and Compositions for Improving the Nutritional Content of Mushrooms and Fungi
filed April 23, 2008., We have an exclusive option to license theses two patent applications based on an Exclusive Option Agreement with Penn State dated May 1, 2006 which was assigned from Northwest Medical Research Partners to our predecessor corporation on July 31, 2008. Under this Assignment and Assumption Agreement we acquired from Northwest Medical Research Partners Inc., in exchange for 3,500,000 shares of common unregistered restricted stock, and we have assumed the obligations of Northwest Medical Research Partners Inc. to maintain the patent prosecution and perform preclinical and clinical research associated with the intellectual property and has an option to license from Pennsylvania State University the technologies associated with the intellectual property. We have funded research in 2008 and 2009 at Penn State University studying the effect of Pulsed UV light treatment on increasing Vitamin D2 levels in four commonly consumed U.S. mushroom varieties. Pulsed UV light is a technology that delivers energy from light at a high peak power in a short amount of time. This study demonstrated that after a very short exposure time of about one second (the system generates three pulses per second) the Vitamin D2 content of these mushroom varieties increased from very little to upwards of 800% DV/serving. Previous studies using continuous UV light has been shown to take several minutes of exposure to obtain similar values. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that has many physiologic roles including maintaining blood levels of phosphorus and calcium, promotion of bone mineralization and calcium absorption, maintaining a healthy immune system, and regulating cell differentiation and growth. Recent studies have also shown a link between vitamin D deficiency and diseases such as cancer, chronic heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease and even mental illness. This research resulted in the filing of a patent application entitled Methods of Use and Rapid Generation of Vitamin D2 from Mushrooms and Fungi Using Pulsed UV-light
. In November 2008, we acquired an exclusive option to license from The Penn State Research Foundation to this patent application and we are currently negotiating a license agreement concerning this patent application. During 2009 we funded a study performed under contract with Model BioSystems, Inc. on a proprietary grown mushroom, Agaricus blazei Murell (AbM) by Sylvan Bio, Inc. and Creekside Mushrooms, Ltd. which showed a significant increase in the survival of a proprietary Drosophila biologic model (the fruit fly) developed in the laboratory of Dr. Krishna Bhat at the University of Texas, Galveston. In the study, unaltered and Vitamin D2 enriched AbM dried powder significantly increased survival above controls by 4% and 15% respectively. We have filed a use patent application on September 21, 2009 concerning these nutritional findings with the US Patent Office entitled Vitamin Fortified Mushrooms and Fungi for Increasing Survivability and Longevity. Production, Distribution and Marketing 6 In January 2009 we were assigned the tenancy rights of a lease agreement between Hokto Kinoko, the landlord, and Golden Gourmet Mushrooms, Inc. (the previous tenant) for a rental of $944 per month with the lease term ending December 31, 2011. In February 2009 we signed an agreement with Hokto Kinoko Co. to acquire mushroom spent substrate from the Hokto 250,000 square foot mushroom growing facility in San Marcos, California. The facility, which is designed to produce fresh specialty mushrooms has the potential at full capacity to produce 20-25 tons of spent substrate per day. We plan to develop and market this material as an animal feed additive with nutritional value via collaborative research with the Department of Food Science at Pennsylvania State University. Under the agreement we purchased an auger and other related equipment to facilitate collection and removal of the mushroom substrate and we are leasing that equipment to Hokto Kinoko on a monthly basis at $944 per month. Golden Gourmet Mushrooms personnel uses the facilities on the Hokto Kinoko premises to grow mushrooms and also supervises the use of the auger for col
lection and removal of the mushroom substrate, parts of which they deliver to us for research and development. Mushroom substrate waste is defined as the spent substrate (growing media) and all mushroom residuals resulting from cleaning the growing bottles after the harvest of mushroom fruit bodies at the growing facility. The Hokto state-of-the-art facility, the largest of its kind in the United States, produces the following mushrooms: Brown Beech (Buna Shimeji), White Beech (Bunapi)(tm), King Trumpet (Pleurotus eryngii), and Maitake. Since July 2009 we have been utilizing Columbia Nutritional Services, Inc. of Vancouver, Washington to manufacture, per our specifications, our three nutraceutical mushroom supplement products, ImmuSANO, GlucoSANO and EquiSANO. We have been marketing our nutraceutical mushroom supplement products through our website. We also fill orders from clients generated by several third party marketers who provide services to us on a consulting basis. We market our products directly to the consumer utilizing network marketing programs, direct mail order, internet marketing, and commission sales people. We believe our potential for growth involves the development of nutraceutical products that can be marketed and sold through physicians and health care professionals, retail channels in North America and through distributors internationally, in addition to wholesalers and multi-level marketing groups. Retail channels would include independent and chain health food stores, pharmacies, internet sales, grocery and drug chains and other direct to consumer retailers. We have signed one exclusive distribution agreement with Caribbean International Medical N.V. who will focus their marketing efforts in the Caribbean. In March 2010 we entered into a Profit Sharing Agreement with American Charter and Marketing LLC and Delta Group Investments Limited under which we agreed to form an association referred to as the Direct Marketing Affiliates Project. Pursuant to the agreement the parties agree to work together to undertake a direct mail campaign designed to sell TNS nutraceutical products currently under development for a period of three years, with the day to day management and control of business operations of the association being vested in TNS as the managing affiliate. Upon termination of the marketing association upon the expiration of the three year term, upon the election to terminate by all of the affiliates or upon 90 day prior notice from any of the affiliates. Upon termination the property and assets of the association and such cash shall be allocated first to the payment of creditors of the association, for the reserves for contingent or unforeseen liabilities of the association as deemed necessary by TNS as the managing affiliate, then to the repayment of affiliates to the extent of loans made to the association, and finally to the payment of affiliates in respect of their interest in the capital and the profits and losses of the association. This agreement is described more fully in Subsequent Events under Item 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Brand Awareness The market for nutraceuticals is highly competitive, with many well-known brands. Our ability to compete effectively and generate revenue will be based upon our ability to differentiate awareness of our products from those of our competitors. However, advertising, packaging, and labeling of such products will be limited by various regulations. Our success will be dependent upon our ability to convey this message to consumers. 7
The nutraceutical industry is subject to rapid change. New products are constantly introduced to the market. Our ability to remain competitive depends on our ability to develop and manufacture new products in a timely and cost effective manner, to accurately predict market transitions, and to effectively market our products. Our future financial results will depend to a great extent on the successful introduction of several new products. We cannot be certain that we will be successful in selecting, developing, contract manufacturing and marketing new products. The success of new product introductions depends on various factors, including, but not limited to the following: · proper new product selection; · availability of raw materials; · pricing of raw materials; · timely delivery of new products; · regulatory allowance of the products; · successful sales and marketing efforts; and · customer acceptance of new products.
We face challenges in developing new products, primarily with funding development costs and diversion of management time. On a regular basis, we will evaluate opportunities to develop new products through product line extensions and product modifications. There is no assurance that we will successfully develop product line extensions or integrate newly developed products into our business. In addition, there are no assurances that newly developed products will contribute favorably to our operations and financial condition. Our failure to develop and introduce new products on a timely basis could adversely affect our future operating results. Industry
The nutritional supplements industry is intensely competitive. It includes companies that manufacture and distribute products which are generally intended to enhance the body's performance as well as to enhance well being. Nutritional supplements include vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements, herbs, botanicals and compounds derived therefrom. Opportunities in the nutritional supplements industry were enhanced by the enactment of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 ("DSHEA"). Under DSHEA, vendors of dietary supplements are now able to educate consumers regarding the effects of certain component ingredients. However, they are subject to many regulations regarding labeling and advertising of such products. See Government Regulation below. Competition
The market for nutraceuticals is highly competitive. This market includes manufacturers, distributors, and physicians. Numerous manufacturers and distributors will compete with the Company for customers throughout the United States, Canada, and internationally in the packaged nutritional supplement industry selling products to retailers such as mass merchandisers, drug store chains, independent pharmacies, and health food stores. Most all of our competitors are substantially larger and more experienced than us and have longer operating histories, and they also have materially greater financial and other resources than us. We may not be able to successfully compete with them in the marketplace. The principal competition in the health food store distribution channel that we will face comes from a limited number of large nationally known manufacturers and many smaller manufacturers of dietary supplements. Some of the main competitors include, but are not limited to, Beyond a Century, Dr. Whittaker, Unigen Pharma, Drs Best, Metagenics, Twin Labs, Herbalife, Nutrilite, and Isagenix. We also face competition in the health food store distribution channels from private label dietary supplements offered by health and natural food store chains. In addition, we anticipate that there will be competition from sellers that utilize internet commerce. The market is highly sensitive to the introduction of new products. As a result, in order to be competitive, we will need to successfully introduce new products that are accepted by our future customers. 8 We also face competition from many large drug companies. Many of these drug companies are substantially larger and more experienced than us, have longer operating histories, and have materially greater financial and other resources than us. These drug companies also have substantially greater political influence and regulatory support for the use of their products. Patent, Trademark, License and Franchise Restrictions and Contractual Obligations and Concessions We are substantially dependent on our ability to obtain and maintain patents and proprietary rights which serve as the basis for our products We regard our patents, trademarks, copyrights, domain names, trade dress, trade secrets, proprietary technologies, and similar intellectual property as important to our success, and we rely on patent, trademark and copyright law, trade-secret protection, and confidentiality and/or license agreements with our employees, customers, partners, suppliers, and others to protect our proprietary rights. Patent Applications The following patent applications were assigned to Total Nutraceutical Solutions by our President and CEO, Marvin S. Hausman, M.D. in November 2009.

Patent Applications Subject to Unexercised Option Rights We have an exclusive option to license two patent applications based on an Exclusive Option Agreement with Penn State dated May 1, 2006 which was assigned from NW Medical Research to our predecessor corporation on July 31, 2008. The option period has been extended to November 1, 2010. The patent applications covered by the option agreement are: US Patent Application Serial Number 11/686,033 entitled
Phytonutrient Compositions from Mushrooms or Filamentous Fungi and Methods of Use filed March 14, 2007 US Patent Application Serial Number 61/047,268 entitled
Methods and Compositions for Improving the Nutritional Content of Mushrooms and Fungi filed April 23, 2008, We also have an exclusive option to license a patent application based on an Exclusive Option Agreement with Penn State dated November 6, 2008 concerning a patent application entitled
Rapid Generation of Vitamin D2 from Mushrooms and Fungi Using Pulsed UV-Light. We are currently in negotiations with Penn State concerning the licensing of this patent application. Government Regulation In both the United States and foreign jurisdictions, we will be subject to compliance with laws, governmental regulations, administrative determinations, court decisions and similar constraints. Although the products we plan to produce and distribute are not deemed to be drugs, they are deemed to be dietary supplements and therefore are subject to all regulations regarding products ingested by consumers and dietary supplements. Such laws, regulations and other constraints exist at the federal, state and local levels in the United States and at all levels of government in foreign jurisdictions. These regulations include constraints pertaining to (i) the manufacturing, processing, formulating, 9
packaging, labeling, distributing and selling (ii) advertising of products and product claims (iii) transfer pricing, and (iv) method of use. In the United States, the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, storing, labeling, advertising, distribution and sale of products are subject to regulation by various governmental agencies, which include, among others (i) the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), (ii) the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and (iii) the Consumer product Safety Commission. The most active regulation has been administered by the Food and Drug Administration, which regulates the formulation, manufacture and labeling of products pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) and regulations promulgated thereunder. Most importantly, the FDA has guidelines under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) to enable the manufacturing, advertising, marketing, and sale of dietary supplements. In addition, the FTC has overlapping jurisdiction with the FDA to regulate
the interstate labeling, promotion, advertising and sale of dietary supplements, over the counter drugs, and foods. Compliance with applicable FDA and any state or local statutes is crucial. Although we believe that we will be in compliance with applicable statutes, should the FDA amend its guidelines or impose more stringent interpretations of current laws or regulations, we may not be able to comply with these new guidelines. As a marketer of products that are ingested by consumers, we are always subject to the risk that one or more of our products that currently are not subject to regulatory action may become subject to regulatory action. Such regulations could require the reformation of certain products to meet new standards, market withdrawal or discontinuation of certain products not able to be reformulated, imposition of additional record keeping requirements, expanded documentation regarding the properties of certain products, expanded or different labeling and/or additional scientific substantiation.  
;Failure to comply with applicable requirements could result in sanctions being imposed on us, or the contract manufacturers of any of our products, including but not limited to fines, injunctions, product recalls, seizures and criminal prosecution. The FDCA generally regulates ingredients added to foods and requires that such ingredients making up a food product are themselves safe for their intended uses. In this regard, generally when a company adds an ingredient to a food, the FDCA requires that the ingredient either be determined by the Company to be generally regarded as safe (GRAS) by qualified experts or go through FDAs review and approval process as a food additive. The FDCA has been amended with respect to dietary supplements by the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA). The DSHEA provides a statutory framework governing the safety, composition and labeling of dietary supplements. It regulates the types of statements that can be made concerning the effect of a dietary supplement. The DSHEA generally defines the term dietary supplement to include products that contain a dietary ingredient which may include vitamins, minerals, herbs or other botanicals, amino acids, and metabolites. Under the DSHEA, a dietary supplement manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that a dietary supplement is safe before it is marketed. Under DSHEA, dietary ingredients that were on the market before October 15, 1994 may be sold without FDA pre-approval and without notifying the FDA. On the other hand, a
new dietary ingredient (one not lawfully on the market before October 15, 1994), requires proof that it has been present in the food supply as an article used for food without being chemically altered, or evidence of a history of use or other evidence of safety establishing that it is reasonably expected to be safe. With respect to products or supplements that are manufactured and distributed on our behalf, we intend to comply with and will endeavor to bring our operations into compliance with regulatory requirements relating to such products or supplements. However, the FDA may not accept the evidence of safety for any new dietary ingredients that we may decide to use, and the FDAs refusal to accept such evidence could result in regulation of such dietary ingredients as adulterated, until such time as reasonable expectation of safety for the ingredient can be established to the satisfaction of the FDA. With respect to labeling, DSHEA permits statements of nutritional support for dietary supplements without FDA pre-approval. Such statements may describe how particular dietary ingredients affect the structure, function or general well being of the body, or the mechanism of action by which a dietary ingredient may affect body structure, function or well being (but may not state that a dietary supplement will diagnose, mitigate, treat, cure or prevent a disease). A company making a statement of nutritional support must possess substantiating evidence for the statement, and disclose on the label that the FDA has not reviewed that statement and that the product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent a disease. The DSHEA allows the dissemination of third party literature, publications such as reprints of scientific articles linking particular dietary, ingredients with health benefits. Third party literature may be used in connection 10
with the sale of dietary supplements to consumers. Such a publication may be so used if, among other things, it is not false or misleading, no particular brand of dietary supplement is promoted and a balanced view of available scientific information on the subject matter is presented. There can be no assurance, however, that all pieces of third party literature that may be disseminated in connection with our products will be determined by the FDA to satisfy each of these requirements, and any such failure could subject the product involved to regulation as a new drug or as a misbranded product, causing us to incur substantial fines and penalties. The products covered by the Patent and product related activities may also be subject to regulation by other regulatory agencies, including but not limited to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Consumer Products Safety Commission, the United States Department of Agriculture, the United States Postal Service, the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Advertising of dietary supplement products is subject to regulation by the FTC under the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTCA). The FTCA prohibits unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive trade acts or practices in or affecting commerce. Furthermore, the FTCA provides that the dissemination or the causing to be disseminated of any false advertising pertaining to drugs or foods, which would include dietary supplements, is an unfair or deceptive act or practice.
Under the FTCs Substantiation Doctrine, an advertiser is required to have a reasonable basis for all objective product claims before the claims are made. Pursuant to this FTC requirement, we are required to have adequate substantiation of all material advertising claims made for products covered by the Patent. Failure to adequately substantiate claims may be considered either deceptive or unfair practices. The FTC has recently issued a guidance document to assist supplement marketers of dietary supplement products in understanding and complying with the substantiation requirement. The FTC is authorized to use a variety of processes and remedies for enforcement, both administratively and judicially including compulsory process, cease and desist orders, and injunctions. FTC enforcement can result in orders requiring, among other things, limits on advertising, corrective advertising, consumer redress, divestiture of assets, rescission of contracts and such other relief as may be deemed necessary. State and local authorities can also regulate advertising and labeling for dietary supplements and conventional foods. Our activities are also regulated by various agencies of the states and localities in which products are sold. The products and product-related activities may also be regulated by the applicable regulatory agencies in other countries in which the products are sold. In foreign markets, prior to commencement of operations and prior to making sales, we may be required to obtain approval, license or certification from the countrys agency governing health. The approval process can be lengthy and costly and may require reformulation of products or labeling. Our failure to comply with foreign regulations could result in products being rejected for sale in such country. We believe that current and reasonably foreseeable governmental regulation will have minimal impact on our business. Compliance with Environmental Laws We are not aware of any environmental laws that have been enacted, nor are we aware of any such laws being contemplated for the future, that impact issues specific to our business. In our industry, environmental laws are anticipated to apply directly to the owners and operators of companies. They do not apply to companies or individuals providing consulting services, unless they have been engaged to consult on environmental matters. We are not planning to provide environmental consulting services. Employees
We have no full-time employees at the present time. We utilize contractors to market our products. Our Chief Executive Officer, Marvin S. Hausman, M.D. provides employee like services pursuant to a consulting arrangement which began in November 2008. Item 1A. Risk Factors. RISK FACTORS RELATING TO OUR COMPANY 11
IF OUR BUSINESS PLAN IS NOT SUCCESSFUL, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS AS A GOING CONCERN AND OUR STOCKHOLDERS MAY LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT IN US. As discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements included in this annual report, at December 31, 2009 we had working capital of $298,452. We had a net loss of $(694,454) for the year ending December 31, 2009 and an accumulated deficit of $814,624 from inception (July 19, 2007) through December 31, 2009. These factors raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue operations as a going concern, and our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding this uncertainty in their audit report. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our generating cash flow sufficient to fund operations and reducing operating expenses. Our business plans may not be successful in addressing these issues. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our stockholders may lose their entire investment in us. WE EXPECT LOSSES IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE WE HAVE GENERATED LIMITED REVENUE. We have generated limited revenues and we expect losses over the next six (6) months since we have modest revenues to offset the expenses associated in executing our business plan. We cannot guarantee that we will ever be successful in generating substantial revenues in the future or becoming profitable. We recognize that if we are unable to generate substantial revenues, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations as a going concern.
There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT OUTSTANDING DEBT WHICH WE MUST REPAY WITH INTEREST AND LIMITED REVENUES FROM WHICH TO REPAY SUCH DEBT We currently have aggregate debt in the amount of $600,000 with $300,000 of debt at 6% per annum interest and the other $300,000 of debt at 5% per annum interest accruing. Of this aggregate amount, $100,000 plus $6,000 in interest is due on December 31, 2010, $200,000 plus $12,000 in interest is due December 31, 2011 and $300,000 plus interest of $15,000 is due March 26, 2013. All of the debt is convertible into shares of our company at the option of the relevant payor. In the case of the $300,000 due in March 26, 2013, it is to be paid out of a portion of the net profits subject to a profit sharing marketing association arrangement we entered into with two other companies. Given our past sales and marketing results, our revenues may not be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations and repay our debts as they become due. If this is the case, if the parties to which we owe these funds
do not choose to convert their debt into shares of common stock, we will have to undertake private placements of our equity securities or take on additional debt to repay debt and or finance our operations. WE HAVE NO OPERATING HISTORY AS AN INDEPENDENT PUBLIC COMPANY AND WE MAY BE UNABLE TO OPERATE PROFITABLY AS A STAND-ALONE COMPANY. In order to establish our business, we will need to rely on the sales of the products and will incur expenses for advertising, information systems, rent and additional personnel to support these activities in addition to the salary expenses already mentioned. We therefore expect to incur substantial operating losses for the foreseeable future. Our ability to become profitable depends on our ability to have successful operations and to generate and sustain sales, while maintaining reasonable expense levels, all of which are uncertain in light of our absence of any prior operating history. We may not be able to successfully put in place the financial, administrative, and managerial structure necessary to operate as fully reporting independent public company, and the development of such structure will require a significant amount of management's time and other resources. WE FACE SUBSTANTIAL UNCERTAINTIES IN ESTABLISHING OUR BUSINESS. We believe that in order to establish a successful business we must, among other things, hire personnel to run our day to operations, develop a distribution network and establish a customer base. If we are unable to accomplish one or more of these goals, our business may fail. 12
OUR BUSINESS IS SENSITIVE TO PUBLIC PERCEPTION. IF ANY PRODUCT WE DEVELOP PROVES TO BE HARMFUL TO CONSUMERS OR IF SCIENTIFIC STUDIES PROVIDE UNFAVORABLE FINDINGS REGARDING THEIR SAFETY OR EFFECTIVENESS, THEN OUR IMAGE IN THE MARKETPLACE WOULD BE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED. Our results of operations may be significantly affected by the publics perception of our company and similar companies. In addition, our business could be adversely affected if any of our future products prove to be harmful to consumers or if scientific studies provide unfavorable findings regarding the safety or effectiveness of our products or any similar products. Moreover, the U.S. FDA could potentially regulate our industry in the future and adversely affect our marketing ability and success. While quality control testing is conducted on the ingredients in such products, we are highly dependent upon consumers' perception of the overall integrity of the dietary supplements business. The safety and quality of products made by competitors in our industry may not adhere to the same quality standards that ours do, and may result in a negative consumer perception of the entire industr
y. If our products suffer from negative consumer perception, it is likely our sales will slow and we will have difficultly generating revenues. IF OUR PRODUCTS DO NOT HAVE THE HEALTHFUL EFFECTS INTENDED, OUR BUSINESS MAY SUFFER. In general, our products consist of food, nutritional supplements which are classified in the United States as dietary supplements which we believe do not require approval from the FDA or other regulatory agencies prior to sale. Although many of the ingredients in such products are vitamins, minerals, herbs and other substances for which there is a long history of human consumption, they contain innovative ingredients or combinations of ingredients. Although we believe all of such products and the combinations of ingredients in them are safe when taken as directed, there is little long-term experience with human or other animal consumption of certain of these innovative product ingredients or combinations thereof in concentrated form. The products could have certain side effects if not taken as directed or if taken by a consumer that has certain medical conditions. In addition,
such products have been proven to be more effective when taken in accordance with certain instructions which include certain dietary restrictions. Therefore, such products may not be effective if such instructions are not followed. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any of the products, even when used as directed, will have the effects intended or will not have harmful side effects. If any of such products were shown to be harmful or negative publicity resulted from an individual who was allegedly harmed by one product, it could hurt our business, profitability and growth prospects. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RAISE SUFFICIENT CAPITAL OR GENERATE ADEQUATE REVENUE TO MEET OUR OBLIGATIONS AND FUND OUR OPERATING EXPENSES. Failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate sales revenues to meet our obligations and develop and sustain our operations could result in reducing or ceasing our operations. Additionally, even if we do raise sufficient capital and generate revenues to support our operating expenses, there can be no assurances that the revenue will be sufficient to enable us to develop business to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors currently included an explanatory paragraph in their report on our financial statements regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE WITH LARGER SALES CONTRACT COMPANIES, THE MAJORITY OF WHOM HAVE GREATER RESOURCES AND EXPERIENCE THAN WE DO. The market for nutraceuticals is highly competitive. Numerous manufacturers and distributors compete with us for customers throughout the United States, Canada and internationally in the packaged nutritional supplement industry selling products to retailers such as mass merchandisers, drug store chains, independent pharmacies, and health food stores. Many of our competitors are substantially larger and more experienced than we are. In addition, they have longer operating histories and have materially greater financial and other resources than we do. They therefore have the advantage of having established reputations, brand names, track records, back office and managerial support systems and other advantages that we will be unable to duplicate in the near future. Many of these competitors are private companies, and therefore, we cannot compare our revenues with respec
t to the sales volume of each 13
competitor. If we cannot compete in the marketplace, we may have difficulty selling our products and generating revenues. Additionally, competition may drive down the prices of our products, which could adversely affect our cost of goods sold and our profitability, if any. We are also subject to competition from many drug companies due to the fact that our product has what we believe to be health benefits that certain drugs are created to produce. We are also subject to competition in the attraction and retention of employees. Many of our competitors have greater financial resources and can offer employees compensation packages that are difficult for us to compete with. WE DEPEND UPON OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND KEY PERSONNEL. Our performance depends substantially on the performance of our executive officers. Our chief executive officer is the inventor of the process and formulas used to contract manufacture the future products to be sold by us. We anticipate that he will be the developer of any additional products that we plan to add to our product line. The loss of services of our chief executive officer could have a material adverse effect on our business, revenues, and results of operations or financial condition. We do not maintain key person life insurance on the lives of our officers or key employees. The success of our business in the future will depend on our ability to attract, train, retain and motivate high quality personnel. Competition for talented personnel is intense, and we may not be able to continue to attract, train, retain or motivate other highly qualified technical and managerial personnel in the future. In addition, market conditions may require us to pay higher compensation to qualified management and technical personnel than we currently anticipate. Any inability to attract and retain qualified management and technical personnel in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and/or results of operations. OUR SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT UPON OUR ABILITY TO PROTECT AND PROMOTE OUR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. Our success will depend in large part on our ability to protect and promote our proprietary rights to our formulas and proprietary processes and ingredients. Our ability to compete effectively depends, to a significant extent, on our ability to maintain the proprietary nature of our intellectual property. There can be no assurance that the scope of the steps we take to protect all of our interests cant be circumvented, or that it will not violate the proprietary rights of others, or that we will not be prevented from using our product if challenged. In fact, even if broad enough, others may still infringe upon our rights, which will be costly to protect. Furthermore, the laws of other countries may less effectively protect our proprietary rights than U.S. laws. Infringement of our rights by a third party could result in uncompensated lost market and revenue opportunities. WE ARE AT RISK FOR PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS AND REQUIRE ADEQUATE INSURANCE TO PROTECT US AGAINST SUCH CLAIMS. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO SECURE THE NECESSARY INSURANCE COVERAGE AT AFFORDABLE COST TO PROTECT OUR BUSINESS AGAINST ANY CLAIMS, THEN OUR EXPOSURE TO LIABILITY WILL GREATLY INCREASE AND OUR ABILITY TO MARKET AND SELL OUR PRODUCTS WILL BE MORE DIFFICULT SINCE CERTAIN CUSTOMERS RELY ON THIS INSURANCE IN ORDER TO DISTRIBUTE OUR PRODUCTS. We are constantly at risk that consumers and users of our products will bring lawsuits alleging product liability. Even though we do not manufacture products, a consumer could bring a lawsuit against us alleging product liability due to our ownership of the product(s). We are not aware of any claims pending against us that would adversely affect our business. While we will continue to attempt to take what we consider to be appropriate precautions, these precautions may not protect us from significant product liability exposure in the future. We currently do not have any product liability insurance and there can be no assurance that even if we were to attempt to obtain such insurance that we will be able to obtain, retain coverage or that this coverage will be cost-justified or sufficient to satisfy any future claims. If we are sued, we may not have sufficient resources to defend agai
nst the suit or to pay damages. A material lawsuit could negatively impact our business. 14
OUR OFFICERS/DIRECTORS OWN A CONTROLLING INTEREST IN OUR VOTING STOCK AND INVESTORS WILL NOT HAVE ANY VOICE IN OUR MANAGEMENT, WHICH COULD RESULT IN DECISIONS ADVERSE TO THE INTERESTS OF OUR GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS. Our officers/directors, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately or have the right to vote approximately 33.91% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders, acting together, will have the ability to control matters submitted to our stockholders for approval including: a) election of our board of directors; b) removal of any of our directors; c) amendment of our Articles of Incorporation or bylaws; and d) adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination involving us. As a result of their ownership and positions, these individuals have the ability to influence all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, the future prospect of sales of significant amounts of shares held by our director and executive officer could affect the market price of our common stock if the marketplace does not orderly adjust to the increase in shares in the market and the value of your investment in the company may decrease. Management's stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price. RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON SHARES WE MAY, IN THE FUTURE, ISSUE ADDITIONAL COMMON SHARES, WHICH WOULD REDUCE INVESTORS' PERCENT OF OWNERSHIP AND MAY DILUTE OUR SHARE VALUE. Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 70,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 preferred shares. The future issuance of common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock. OUR COMMON SHARES ARE SUBJECT TO THE "PENNY STOCK" RULES OF THE SEC AND THE TRADING MARKET IN OUR SECURITIES IS LIMITED, WHICH MAKES TRANSACTIONS IN OUR STOCK CUMBERSOME AND MAY REDUCE THE VALUE OF AN INVESTMENT IN OUR STOCK. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (a) that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and (b) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: (a) obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and (b) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. 15
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: (a) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (b) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our Common shares and cause a decline in the market value of our stock. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. BECAUSE WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY ANY CASH DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK, OUR STOCKHOLDERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECEIVE A RETURN ON THEIR SHARES UNLESS THEY SELL THEM. We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. There is no assurance that stockholders will be able to sell shares when desired. WE MAY ISSUE SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK IN THE FUTURE THAT MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT YOUR RIGHTS AS HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK. Our articles of incorporation authorize us to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Accordingly, our board of directors will have the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred shares, as well as the authority to issue such shares, without further stockholder approval. As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividends before dividends are declared to holders of our common stock, and the right to the redemption of such preferred shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of the common stock. To the extent that we do issue such additional shares of preferred stock, your rights as holders of common stock could be impaired thereby, including, without limitation, dilution of your ownershi
p interests in us. In addition, shares of preferred stock could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control or make removal of management more difficult, which may not be in your interest as holders of common stock
. WE HAVE INCURRED INCREASED COSTS AS A RESULT OF BEING A PUBLIC COMPANY. As a public company, we have incurred significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, has imposed substantial requirements on public companies, including certain corporate governance practices and requirements relating to internal control over financial reporting. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. In addition, in the future we will be required to document, evaluate, and test our internal control procedures under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the related rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission which will be costly and time consuming. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to pro
duce reliable financial reports and are important in helping prevent financial fraud. If we are unable to achieve and maintain adequate internal controls, our business and operating results could be harmed. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments. Not applicable. Item 2. Properties. 16 Our corporate headquarters are located at 80 Columbia Street Stevenson, Washington 98648. We believe our current office space is adequate for our immediate needs; however, as our operations expand, we may need to relocate and secure additional office space. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are not presently a party to any material litigation, nor to the knowledge of management is any litigation threatened against us, which may materially affect us. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. We did not submit any matters to a vote of our security holders during the fourth quarter of 2009. 17

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.
Not applicable.
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Overview of Current Operations Total Nutraceutical Solutions is an emerging nutraceutical company with a focus on discovering, formulating and marketing products composed primarily of organic natural mushrooms that contain bioactive nutrients for potential health benefits. We develop production and analytic technologies for food and nutritional supplements composed primarily of mushrooms. In addition to preventative healthcare formulations and nutritional approaches to a wide variety of human conditions and illnesses, we also develop and acquire nutritional tools and products in the fields of animal husbandry and livestock feeds. We have developed mushroom based nutraceutical dietary supplement products that are made entirely of naturally occurring dietary substances which are manufactured under contract by a third party, Columbia Nutritional Services, Inc.. These naturally occurring dietary substances have not been chemically altered, and we believe these products have both health benefits and mass appeal to people wanting natural and non-toxic nutritional-based healthcare. We sell directly to consumers our own proprietary formulations of over the counter mushroom based nutraceutical products. Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 We earned $67,608 in revenues for the year ending December 31, 2009 as compared with no revenues for the transition period from August 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. This occurred as we began to sell our three nutraceutical mushroom supplement products, ImmuSANO, GludoSANO and EquiSANO, in the third quarter of 2009. Our cost of goods sold was $61,689 for the year ending December 31, 2009, approximately 91% of our revenue. For the year ending December 31, 2009, we had a net loss of $(694,454) versus a net loss of $(114,513) for the transition period from August 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. The loss for 2009 was attributable to organizational expenses, accounting and legal fees, marketing expenses and building company infrastructure. We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we seek to ramp up production as well as marketing and sales of our products in 2010. Significant changes in the number of employees As of December 31, 2009, we did not have any employees. We are dependent upon our Chief Executive Officer who provides employee like services under a consulting arrangement for our future business development. As our operations expand we anticipate the need to hire employees, and contract with additional consultants; however, the exact number is not quantifiable at this time. Liquidity and Capital Resources Our balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 reflects cash of $48,141, current assets of $436,502 and current liabilities of $138,050. Our operating expenses have increased significantly from $114.513 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $704,773 for the same period ended December 31, 2009, representing an average burn rate of approximately $59,000 per month in 2009. This increase in operating expenses were primarily due to the launch of our nutraceutical products, with increased consulting fees, advertising and promotion, product development, insurance and travel. We also experienced increases in costs associated with our reporting requirements as our legal and accounting expenses increased significantly. In early 2010 we borrowed an aggregate of $550,000 from three parties. In January and February 2010 we borrowed $100,000 from Larry Johnson and $150,000 from Mark Wolf. Pleas
e see Subsequent Events below for a more detailed description of the applicable promissory notes. Subsequently, in March 2010, we borrowed $300,000 from Delta Group Investments Limited at an interest rate of 5% per annum for a one year period. This loan was made in the context of the formation of a marketing association with Delta Group Investments Limited 19
and another company pursuant to a Profit Sharing Agreement described below under Subsequent Events.. Based on our cash on hand and the degree to which our burn rate can be reduced while continuing operations, management believes it has sufficient funds to remain operational for the next ten months. We expect our revenues to increase modestly in 2010. With $342,253 in inventory as of December 31, 2009, increased revenues could modestly help our liquidity position in 2010. Notwithstanding, we anticipate generating losses in 2010 and therefore we may be unable to continue operations in the future.
We anticipate we will require additional capital of up to approximately $500,000 and we intend to raise the monies by undertaking one or more equity private placements.
There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us or that any equity private placements we undertake will be successful.
In 2009 our largest source of liquidity has been the net proceeds from equity private placements. On June 9, 2009 we closed a private placement offering and issued 819,000 units at $.50 per unit to nine accredited investors for gross proceeds of $409,500. The units consisted of two (2) shares of its par value $.001 unregistered common stock, one (1) A stock purchase warrant exercisable at $0.75 per share and one (1) B stock purchase warrant exercisable at $1.00 per share. We also received debt capital from an officer and a director in 2009. On December 30, 2009, we entered into a Promissory Note with Marvin Hausman, our Chief Executive Officer, and Philip Sobol., a director, whereby Dr. Hausman and Dr. Sobol made a loan in the amount of $50,000 ($25,000 each) to our company for a period of two (2) years. The promissory note bears interest at 6% per annum. This note, at the sole discretion of Drs.
Hausman and Sobol, the payees, is due and payable in the event we complete a capital fund raising of any amount greater than $250,000. In addition we have raised debt capital in 2010 as described below. Subsequent Events In January 2010, we entered into a Promissory Note with Larry A. Johnson concerning a loan in the amount of $100,000 with interest at 6% per annum with a maturity date of December 31, 2010. The loan is convertible into shares of common stock at the option of Mr. Johnson at $0.20 per share at any time prior to the maturity date. In addition to the Promissory Note we issued a five year warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. In February 2010, we entered into a Promissory Note with Mark C. Wolf concerning a loan in the amount of $50,000 with interest at 6% per annum with a maturity date of December 31, 2010. The loan is convertible into shares of common stock at the option of Mr. Johnson at $0.20 per share at any time prior to the maturity date. In addition to the Promissory Note we issued a five year warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. On the same date, we entered into a second Promissory Note with Mark C. Wolf concerning a loan in the amount of $100,000 with interest at 6% per annum with a maturity date of December 31, 2011. The loan is convertible into shares of common stock at the option of Mr. Johnson at $0.20 per share at any time prior to the maturity date. In addition to the Promissory Note we issued a five year warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. In March 2010 we entered into a Profit Sharing Agreement with American Charter and Marketing LLC and Delta Group Investments Limited under which we agreed to form an association referred to as the Direct Marketing Affiliates Project. Pursuant to the agreement the parties agree to work together to undertake a direct mail campaign designed to sell certain TNS nutraceutical products for a period of three years, with the day to day management and control of business operations of the association being vested in TNS as the managing affiliate. One of the affiliates, Delta Group Investments Limited made an initial contribution to the association in the form of a $300,000 loan. This loan shall be repaid by the association through allocation of 25% of net profits from the marketing and sale of the TNS nutraceutical products going to repayment of the loan and 25% of net profits going to each affiliate of the association. Once Delta Group has been repaid the loan with interest and in addition has received $300,000 in net profit allocatioins, the percentage of allocation shall be shifted so that TNS and American Charter and Marketing shall each receive 45% of the net profits and Delta Group shall receive the remaining 10% of net profits. Allocation of net profits shall be done on a quarterly basis by the managing affilicate, TNS. Delta Group and American 20
Charter and Marketing have the option to convert their net profit allocations into shares of common stock of TNS and Delta Group has the option at any time to convert any portion of the loan principal and interest into TNS shares of common stock at $0.25 per share. TNS agreed to issue a warrant to purchase 600,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share which are callable by TNS if the common shares has a bid price of $0.75 or higher for 30 consecutive trading days. These warrants are subject to piggy back registration rights. American Charter and Marketing LLC shall also be issued a three year warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock exercisable at $0.15 per share for every $1 million U.S. total net revenues generated under the Profit Sharing Agreement up to $6 million in net revenues. Upon termination of the marketing association upon the expiration of the three year term, upon the election to terminate by all of the affiliates or upon 90 day prior notice from any of the affiliates. Upon termination the property and assets of the association and such cash shall be allocated first to the payment of creditors of the association, for the reserves for contingent or unforeseen liabilities of the association as deemed necessary by TNS as the managing affiliate, then to the repayment of affiliates to the extent of loans made to the association, and finally to the payment of affiliates in respect of their interest in the capital and the profits and losses of the association. If there are not sufficient funds in the liquidation to repay in full the $300,000 loan from Delta Group plus accrued interest, TNS will be liable for the payment of any shortfall. Going Concern Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the accompanying financial statements regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results or operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Revenue Recognition: We recognize revenue from product sales once all of the following criteria for revenue recognition have been met: pervasive evidence that an agreement exists; the services have been rendered; the fee is fixed and determinable and not subject to refund or adjustment; and collection of the amount due is reasonable assured.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Total Nutraceutical Solutions, Inc
. Stevenson, Washington
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Total Nutraceutical Solutions, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows
for the year ended December 31, 2009 and for the transition period from August 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits
. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement
s. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The Companys balance sheet at December 31, 2008, and the related statement of stockholders equity have been restated. The restatements of the financial statements are described in Note 3. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009 and for the transition period from August 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2009 and had a net loss and cash used in operations for the year ended December 31, 2009. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 5. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Total Nutraceutical Solutions, Inc
. December 31, 2009 and 2008 Notes to the Financial Statements NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS Generic Marketing Services, Inc. (Generic Marketing Services) was incorporated on July 19, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The company was incorporated as a subsidiary of Basic Services, Inc. (Basic Services), a Nevada corporation. On December 31, 2007, Basic Services decided to spin off its subsidiary. On October 8, 2008, Generic Marketing Services filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State to change its corporate name from Generic Marketing Services, Inc. to Total Nutraceutical Solutions, Inc. (TNS or the Company). The Company engages in the distribution of organic nutraceutical products in the United States of America. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation The Companys financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fiscal year end The Company elected July 31 as its initial fiscal year end date upon its formation. On November 11, 2008, the Company changed its fiscal year end date from July 31 to December 31.
Cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Accounts receivable Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowance for doubtful accounts. Allowance for doubtful accounts is the Companys best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Companys existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions. Bad debt expense is included in general and administrative expenses, if any. Outstanding account balances are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged off against allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure to its customers. Inventory The Company values its inventory, consisting of purchased raw materials, at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the First-in and First-out (FIFO) method. The Company regularly reviews its inventory on hand 28
and, when necessary, records a provision for excess or obsolete inventory based primarily on current selling price. The Company determined that there was no inventory obsolescence as of December 31, 2009. Property and equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed by the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the assets estimated useful lives of three (3) years. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in statements of operations. Patents pending The Company has adopted the guidelines as set out in subtopic 350-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Subtopic 350-30) for patents. Under the requirements as set out in Subtopic 350-30, the Company amortizes the costs of acquired patents over their remaining legal lives, estimated useful lives, or the term of the contract, whichever is shorter. All internally developed process costs incurred to the point when a patent application is to be filed are expensed as incurred and classified as research and development costs. Patent application costs, generally legal costs, thereafter incurred, are capitalized pending disposition of the individual patent application, and are subsequently either amortized based on the initial patent life granted, generally fifteen (15) to twenty (20) years for domestic patents and five (5) to twenty (20) years for foreign patents, or expensed if
the patent application is rejected. The costs of defending and maintaining patents are expensed as incurred. Upon becoming fully amortized, the related cost and accumulated amortization are removed from the accounts. Impairment of long-lived assets The Company follows paragraph 360-10-35-17 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for its long-lived assets. The Companys long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and patents pending are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related long-lived asset or group of long-lived assets over their remaining estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. Fair value is generally determined using the assets expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. If long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives. The Company determined that there were no impairments of long-lived assets as of December 31, 2009 or 2008. Lease receivable The Company follows paragraph 840-30-35-23 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and amortizes the unearned income and initial direct costs on a direct financing lease to income over the term of the lease to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the lease. Discount on convertible notes payable On December 30, 2009, the Company issued convertible notes payable of $50,000, convertible to common shares at $0.20 per share, and a warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of the Companys common stock exercisable at $0.10 per share. In accordance with subtopic 470-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Subtopic 470-20)
Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants, the Company allocated the proceeds received between the convertible notes payable and the warrants. The resulting discount from the face amount of the convertible notes payable is being amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the debt instruments. After allocating a portion of the proceeds to the warrants, the effective conversion price of the convertible notes payable was lower than the market price at the date of issuance and therefore a beneficial conversion feature was 29
recorded as a discount to the convertible notes payable which is being amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the debt instruments. Fair value of financial instruments The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Paragraph 820-10-35-37) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets fo
r identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below: Level 1 Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Level 2 Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 3 Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.
The carrying amounts of the Companys financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued officers compensation, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Companys lease receivable, note payable and convertible notes payable approximate the fair value of such instruments based upon managements best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at December 31, 2009 and 2008.
The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or a non-recurring basis, consequently, the Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value at December 31, 2009 or 2008, nor gains or losses are reported in the statement of operations that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date for the interim period ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Revenue recognition
The Company follows the guidance of paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
The Company recognizes its revenue from sales contracts with customers with revenues being generated upon the shipment of product. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via invoice, product delivery is evidenced by warehouse shipping log as well as a signed bill of lading from the trucking company or third party carrier and title transfers upon shipment, based on free on board (FOB) warehouse; the sales price to the customer is fixed upon acceptance of the purchase order and there is no separate sales rebate, discount, or volume incentive.
Shipping and handling costs
The Company accounts for shipping and handling fees in accordance with paragraph 605-45-45-19 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. While amounts charged to customers for shipping products are included in revenues, the related costs are classified in cost of goods sold as incurred.
30
Advertising costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Research and development
The Company follows paragraph 730-10-25-1 and 730-20-25-11 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for research and development costs. Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development costs consist primarily of remuneration for research and development staff, depreciation and maintenance expenses of research and development equipment, material and testing costs for research and development as well as research and development arrangements with unrelated third party research and development institutions. Those research and development arrangements usually involve one specific research and development project of the development of a specific drug compound. Often times, the Company makes non-refundable advances upon signing of these arrangements. The Company adopted paragraph 730-20-25-13 and 730- 20-35-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for those non-refundable advances. Non-refundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and capitalized. Such amounts are recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed. The management continues to evaluate whether the Company expect the goods to be delivered or services to be rendered. If the management does not expect the goods to be delivered or services to be rendered, the capitalized advance payment are charged to expense.
Foreign currency transactions
The Company applies the guidelines as set out in Section 830-20-35 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Section 830-20-35) for foreign currency transactions. Pursuant to Section 830-20-35 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, foreign currency transactions are transactions denominated in currencies other than U.S. Dollar, the Companys functional and reporting currency. Foreign currency transactions may produce receivables or payables that are fixed in terms of the amount of foreign currency that will be received or paid. A change in exchange rates between the functional currency and the currency in which a transaction is denominated increases or decreases the expected amount of functional currency cash flows upon settlement of the transaction. That increase or decrease in expected functional currency cash flows is a foreign currency transaction gain or loss that generally shall be included in determining net income for the period in which the exchange rate changes. Likewise, a transaction gain or loss (measured from the transaction date or the most recent intervening balance sheet date, whichever is later) realized upon settlement of a foreign currency transaction generally shall be included in determining net income for the period in which the transaction is settled.
Equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of section 505-50-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-30-6 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, 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 instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.
The fair value of each option/warrant award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for stock options and warrants are as follows:
· |
The expected life of options granted is derived from paragraph 718-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and represents the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding. |
· |
The expected volatility is based on a combination of the historical volatility of the comparable companies stock over the contractual life of the options. |
31
· |
The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the contractual life of the option. |
· |
The expected dividend yield is based on the Companys current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the contractual life of the option. |
The Companys policy is to recognize compensation cost for awards with only service conditions and a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Additionally, the Companys policy is to issue new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option exercises.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. &nbs p;The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Section 740-10-25). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and r equires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of Section 740-10-25.
Commitments and contingencies
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
Net loss per common share
Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to paragraph of 260-10-45-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period to reflect the potential dilution.
The following table shows the weighted-average number of potentially outstanding dilutive shares excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 2009 and for the transition period from August 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008 as they were anti-dilutive.

The Company adopted paragraph 230-10-45-24 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (Indirect method) as defined by paragraph 230-10-45-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments. The Company reports the reporting curren cy equivalent of foreign currency cash flows, using the current exchange rate at the time of the cash flows and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash held in foreign currencies is reported as a separate item in the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents and separately provides information about investing and financing activities not resulting in cash receipts or payments in the period pursuant to paragraph 830-230-45-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
On June 5, 2003, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted final rules under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Section 404), as amended by SEC Release No. 33-9072 on October 13, 2009. Under the provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, public companies and their independent auditors are each required to report to the public on the effectiveness of a companys internal controls. The smallest public companies with a public float below $75 million have been given extra time to design, implement and document these internal controls before their auditors are required to attest to the effectiveness of these controls. This extension of time will expire beginning with the annual reports of companies with fiscal years ending on or after June 15, 2010. Commencing with its annual report for the yea r ending December 31, 2010, the Company will be required to include a
33
report of management on its internal control over financial reporting. The internal control report must include a statement
· |
of managements responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over its financial reporting; |
· |
of managements assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of year end; and |
· |
of the framework used by management to evaluate the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. |
Furthermore, it is required to file the auditors attestation report separately on the Companys internal control over financial reporting on whether it believes that the Company has maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting.
In June 2009, the FASB approved the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP to be launched on July 1, 2009. The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All existing accounting standard documents will be superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.
In August 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-04 Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments - Amendment to Section 480-10-S99 which represents an update to section 480-10-S99, distinguishing liabilities from equity, per EITF Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05 Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures Topic 820 Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides amendments to subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Overall, for the fair value measurement of liabilities. This update provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques: 1. A valuation technique that uses: a. The quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset b. Quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets. 2. Another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of topic 820; two examples would be an income approach, such as a present value technique, or a market approach, such as a technique that is based on the amount at the measurement date that the reporting entity would pay to transfer the identica l liability or would receive to enter into the identical liability. The amendments in this update also clarify that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. The amendments in this update also clarify that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-08 Earnings Per Share Amendments to Section 260-10-S99,which represents technical corrections to topic 260-10-S99, Earnings per share, based on EITF Topic D-53, Computation of Earnings Per Share for a Period that includes a Redemption or an Induced Conversion of a Portion of a Class of Preferred Stock and EITF Topic D-42, The Effect of the Calculation of Earnings per Share for the Redemption or Induced Conversion of Preferred Stock. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-09 Accounting for Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures and Accounting for Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. This update represents a correction to Section 323-10-S99-4, Accounting by an Investor for Stock-Based Compensation Granted to Employees of an Equity Method Investee. Additionally, it adds observer comment Accounting Recognition
34
for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees to the Codification. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-12 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic 820 Investment in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Assets Value Per Share (or Its Equivalent), which provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures-Overall, for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent). The amendments in this update permit, as a practical expedient, a reporting entity to measure the fair value of an investment that is within the scope of the amendments in this update on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) if the net asset value of the investment (or its equivalent) is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of Topic 946 as of the reporting entitys measurement date, including measurement of all or substantially all of the underlying investments of the investee in accordance with Topic 820. The amendments in this update also requir e disclosures by major category of investment about the attributes of investments within the scope of the amendments in this update, such as the nature of any restrictions on the investors ability to redeem its investments a the measurement date, any unfunded commitments (for example, a contractual commitment by the investor to invest a specified amount of additional capital at a future date to fund investments that will be make by the investee), and the investment strategies of the investees. The major category of investment is required to be determined on the basis of the nature and risks of the investment in a manner consistent with the guidance for major security types in U.S. GAAP on investments in debt and equity securities in paragraph 320-10-50-1B. The disclosures are required for all investments within the scope of the amendments in this update regardless of whether the fair value of the investment is measured using the practical expedient. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a ma terial impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In January 2010, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-01 Equity Topic 505 Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash, which clarify that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260 (Equity and Earnings Per Share (EPS)). Those distributions should be accounted for and included in EPS calculations in accordance with paragraphs 480-10-25- 14 and 260-10-45-45 through 45-47 of the FASB Accounting Standards codification. The amendments in this Update also provide a technical correction to the Accounting Standards Codification. The correction moves guidance that was previously included in the Overview and Background Section to the definition of a stock dividend in the M aster Glossary. That guidance indicates that a stock dividend takes nothing from the property of the corporation and adds nothing to the interests of the stockholders. It also indicates that the proportional interest of each shareholder remains the same, and is a key factor to consider in determining whether a distribution is a stock dividend.
In January 2010, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-02 Consolidation Topic 810 Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary a Scope Clarification, which provides amendments to Subtopic 810-10 and related guidance within U.S. GAAP to clarify that the scope of the decrease in ownership provisions of the Subtopic and related guidance applies to the following:
1.
A subsidiary or group of assets that is a business or nonprofit activity
2.
A subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit activity that is transferred to an equity method investee or joint venture
3.
An exchange of a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for a noncontrolling interest in an entity (including an equity method investee or joint venture).
The amendments in this Update also clarify that the decrease in ownership guidance in Subtopic 810-10 does not apply to the following transactions even if they involve businesses:
1.
Sales of in substance real estate. Entities should apply the sale of real estate guidance in Subtopics 360-20 (Property, Plant, and Equipment) and 976-605 (Retail/Land) to such transactions.
2.
Conveyances of oil and gas mineral rights. Entities should apply the mineral property conveyance and related transactions guidance in Subtopic 932-360 (Oil and Gas-Property, Plant, and Equipment) to such transactions.
If a decrease in ownership occurs in a subsidiary that is not a business or nonprofit activity, an entity first needs to consider whether the substance of the transaction causing the decrease in ownership is addressed in other U.S.
35
GAAP, such as transfers of financial assets, revenue recognition, exchanges of nonmonetary assets, sales of in substance real estate, or conveyances of oil and gas mineral rights, and apply that guidance as applicable. If no other guidance exists, an entity should apply the guidance in Subtopic 810-10.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 3 RESTATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Subsequent to the original issuance of the Companys balance sheet and statement of stockholders equity as included in its Form 10-K filed with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 31, 2009, the Companys management identified certain accounting misstatements during the period. As a result of issues identified in the review of its financial statements, its Board of Directors, in consultation with the management and Li & Company, PC, its independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that those previously issued financial statements should no longer be relied upon because of certain accounting misstatements in those financial statements. Accordingly, the Company has restated those previously issued financial statements for the period. Details of the misstatements are set out below:

NOTE 5 GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $814,624 at December 31, 2009 and had a net loss and cash used in operations of $694,454 and $699,658 at December 31, 2009, respectively. Check cash flow number after review of cash flow
While the Company is attempting to generate sufficient revenues, the Companys cash position may not be sufficient enough to support the Companys daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to generate sufficient revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Companys ability to generate sufficient revenues.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Convertible Notes, at the discretion of the Payees, is due and payable in the event that the Company completes a capital fund raising of any amount greater than $250,000 US dollars. If the Company completes a capital fund raising, the Payees shall have 30 days from the close of the fundraising to exercise their right to convert their debt to equity in the form of restricted common stock.

After allocating $22,200, a portion of the proceeds to the warrants, the effective conversion price of the convertible notes payable was lower than the market price at the date of issuance and therefore the remaining balance of the net proceeds of $27,800 has been assigned as a beneficial conversion feature of $27,800 which was recorded by crediting $27,800 to additional paid-in capital and debiting the same amount to the discount to the convertible notes payable.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants On Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of those internal controls. As defined by the SEC, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by our principal executive officer/principal financial officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the reparation of the financial statements in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we initially carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our President (who is also our principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our President and chief financial officer initially concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management's Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
·
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
·
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
·
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process.   ;Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
As of December 31, 2009 our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting and Financial Officer, Marvin S. Hausman, M.D., assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US
55
GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting and Financial Officer, Marvin S. Hausman, M.D., in connection with the review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2009.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2) and (3) above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of separate Chief Financial and Accounting Officer resulted in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only the management's report in this annual report.
Management's Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:
When we have sufficient capital resources we will hire new executive officers, including a Chief Accounting and Financial Officer,to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function. On August 28, 2008, we appointed outside directors to our board of directors who will appoint an audit committee when sufficient funds are available to us.
We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by December 31, 2010.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information.
None.

Based upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations from our executive officers and directors, we believe that as of the date of this report one executive officer and one director were not current in their 16(a) reports. Philip Sobol failed to timely report the acquisition by the Philip and Debra Sobol Trust of shares and five year warrants to purchase shares on August 4, 2008, Elliot Shelton failed t o timely report the acquisition of shares and five year warrants to purchase shares on August 11, 2008. Philip Sobol failed to timely report his acquisition of five year warrants on December 30, 2009.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a Code of Ethics for the Board and any salaried employees.
Audit Committee
We currently do not have an audit committee. Our entire board of directors has been acting as our audit committee. No qualified financial expert serves on our board of directors because our company is too small to afford such expense.
Item 11. Executive Compensation.
The following table sets forth summary compensation information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 for our Chief Executive Officer, (our Named Executive Officer) who was appointed on August 14, 2008. We did not have any other executive officers during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 who received compensation in excess of $100,000.
Compensation
As a result of our current limited available cash, no officer or director received any salary from July 19, 2007 (inception) through the fiscal years ending December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. We intend to pay salaries when cash flow permits. However, our Chief Executive Officer, Marvin S. Hausman, M.D. did receive consulting compensation for his services in the amount of $20,000 in 2008 and $120,000 in 2009.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.
The following table presents information, to the best of our knowledge, about the ownership of our common stock on March 20, 2010 relating to those persons known to beneficially own more than 5% of our capital stock and by our named executive officers and directors. The percentage of beneficial ownership for the following table is based on 52,012,470 shares of common stock outstanding.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes those shares of common stock over which the stockholder has sole or shared voting or investment power. It also includes shares of common stock that the stockholder has a right to acquire within 60 days after March 20, 2010 pursuant to options, warrants, conversion privileges or other right. The percentage ownership of the outstanding common stock, however, is based on the assumption, expressly required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, that only the person or entity whose ownership is being reported has converted options or warrants into shares of Total Nutraceutical Solutions common stock.
59
(1) |
Such figures are based upon 52,012,470 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 20, 2010. Except as otherwise noted in these footnotes, the nature of beneficial ownership for shares reported in this table is sole voting and investment power. |
(2) |
Marvin Hausmans holdings include 10,000,000 shares of common stock and a five year warrant to purchase 125,000 shares at $0.10 per share. This number includes 3,500,000 common shares owned by Northwest Medical Research Partners Inc., which is controlled by Marvin S. Hausman, M.D. This number does not include 3,500,000 shares of common stock owned by the adult children of Marvin S. Hausman, M.D. |
(3) |
Phil Sobols holdings include 1,100,000 shares of common stock, and a five year warrant to purchase 125,000 shares at $0.10 per share. The 1,475,000 shares includes 500,000 shares of common stock and a five year warrant to purchase 250,000 shares at $0.25 per share owned by the Philip and Debra Sobol Trust. |
(4) |
Elliot Sheltons holdings include 2,500,000 shares of common stock and a five year warrant to purchase 250,000 shares at $0.25 per share. |
(5) |
The holdings of the executive officers and directors as a group include an aggregate of 17,100,000 shares of common stock, and 250,000 convertible securities exercisable currently or within 60 days of March 20, 2010. |
We are not aware of any arrangements that may result in "changes in control" as that term is defined by the provisions of Item 403(c) of Regulation S-B.
We believe that all persons named have full voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated, unless otherwise noted in the table. Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a person (or group of persons) is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if he or she, directly or indirectly, has or shares the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. Accordingly, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security, which that person has the right to acquire within 60 days, such as options or warrants to purchase our common stock.
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
On December 30, 2009, we entered into a Promissory Note with Marvin Hausman, our Chief Executive Officer, and Philip Sobol., a director, whereby Dr. Hausman and Dr. Sobol made a loan in the amount of $50,000 ($25,000 each) to our company for a period of two (2) years. The promissory note bears interest at 6% per annum. This note, at the sole discretion of Drs. Hausman and Sobol, the payees, is due and payable in the event we complete a capital fund raising of any amount greater than $250,000. Upon completion of this fundraising, the payees shall have 30 days from the close of the fundraising to exercise their right to convert their debt to equity in the form of restricted common stock at $0.20 per share. The payees may also convert at any time prior to December 31, 2011, if the fundraising has not been completed. We also granted the payees 250,000 (125,000 warrants for each payee) fi ve (5) year stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $0.10 per share.
On November 2, 2009, we entered into an Assignment and Assumption agreement with Marvin S. Hausman, M.D., our Chief Executive Officer and Philip Sobol, a director, under which those two persons and a third party assigned all their rights to a patent application entitled Use of Ergothioneine as a Preservative in Foods and Beverages to Total Nutraceutical Solutions. In return we undertook to issue up to 1,500,000 shares of common stock to the assignors upon the occurrence of certain events. Also upon the successful commercialization of any product or technology covered by the patent application, we undertook to pay a royalty of 3% of net sales to the assignors.
Frank Arnone, our former President who resigned in December 2009 contributed office space for our use during 2009. We were not charged for this use of office space. He will not seek reimbursement for past office expenses.
60
We acquired from Northwest Medical Research Partners Inc., which is controlled by Marvin S. Hausman, M.D., our CEO, in exchange for 3,500,000 shares of common restricted stock, an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, effective July 31, 2008, pursuant to which we have assumed the obligations of Northwest Medical Research Partners Inc. to maintain the patent prosecution associated with the intellectual property and has an option to license from Pennsylvania State University the technologies associated with the intellectual property.
Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
Moore & Associates, Chartered Accountants served as our principal independent public accountants for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2008 and July 31, 2007. Li & Company, PC, has served as our principal independent public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. Aggregate fees billed to us for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 by Li & Company and Moore and Associates Chartered, respectively, were as follows :

Audit Committee Policies and Procedures
We do not have an audit committee; therefore our board of directors pre-approves all services to be provided to us by our independent auditor. This process involves obtaining (i) a written description of the proposed services, (ii) the confirmation of our Principal Accounting Officer that the services are compatible with maintaining specific principles relating to independence, and (iii) confirmation from our securities counsel that the services are not among those that our independent auditors have been prohibited from performing under SEC rules. Our director(s) then makes a determination to approve or disapprove the engagement of Li & Company, PC, for the proposed services. In the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, all fees paid to Li & Company were unanimously pre-approved in accordance with this policy.
Less than 50 percent of hours expended on the principal accountant's engagement to audit the registrant's financial statements for the most recent fiscal year were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant's full-time, permanent employees.
