PART I

ITEM 1.
BUSINESS

SUMMARY

Inergetics, Inc. (the “Company,” (Inergetics,” “we” or “us”), formerly Millennium Biotechnologies Group, Inc., is a holding company for its sole operating subsidiary, Millennium Biotechnologies, Inc. (“Millennium”).

Millennium was incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 9, 2000, and is located in New Jersey.  Millennium is a research based bio-nutraceutical corporation involved in the field of nutritional science.  Millennium's principal source of revenue is from sales of its nutraceutical supplements.

On March 15, 2010 the Company changed its name to Inergetics, Inc.

NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Introduction

Inergetics, Inc. (the “Company”), through its subsidiary Millennium, engages in the research, development, and marketing of specialized nutritional supplements as an adjunct to medical treatments for select medical conditions, as well as for athletes seeking improved recovery and advanced performance. The Company currently markets products which are targeted toward immuno-compromised individuals undergoing medical treatment for diseases, such as cancer, as well as wound healing and post-surgical healing and geriatric patients in long-term care facilities among other conditions.  Millennium’s currently manufactures and markets four proprietary product lines and 13 SKU’s to 3 separate target markets.

Three product lines currently form the Company’s product portfolio they include, Resurgex Select®, Ready-To Drink Resurgex Essential™ and Ready-To-Drink Resurgex Essential Plus™.  Resurgex Select® is a whole foods-based, calorically dense, high-protein powdered nutritional formula developed for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatments.  Resurgex Essential™ and Resurgex Essential Plus™ represent Millennium’s Ready-to-Drink product line and are currently being sold into the Long-Term Care geriatric markets.

The Company’s products are unique in that they deliver healthy, whole food calories and do not contain high-fructose corn syrup or corn oil, which are not healthy or suitable forms of calories for Millennium’s targeted markets. These ingredients have also shown to correlate with an increase in obesity, a promotion of insulin resistance, and are implicated in inflammation and cancer. Additionally, the use of high levels of Omega-6 fats (corn oil) has been shown to promote tumor growth in animal models. In contrast, Millennium’s nutritional products deliver nutraceutical ingredients that specifically address the needs of chronically ill and geriatric patients.

Millennium additionally developed Surgex™ (www.surgexsports.com) sports nutritional formula in late 2007.  Surgex™ was clinically proven in two single-blind placebo controlled clinical trials conducted on the Division 1A Football and Soccer players at Rutgers University.  Surgex™ was proven to address the nutritional concerns of both professional and amateur elite athletes. These athletes often experience similar symptoms post-workout to those battling immuno-compromised conditions, such as fatigue, loss of lean muscle, oxidative stress, and reduced immune function.

The Company and Millennium are headquartered in Paramus, New Jersey, and the Company’s common stock currently trades on the Over-the-Counter (OTC) market under the symbol “MBTG.OB.”

Distribution Channels

Direct-To Consumer Distribution

In the direct to consumer channel, customers order Resurgex Select®, Resurgex Essential™ and Resurgex Essential Plus™ directly through the Company’s website, www.Resurgex.com, and Surgex™ through the Company’s website SurgexSports.com or by contacting the Company directly.  The product is shipped directly to the customer’s home within one business day and arrives within 2 to 5 business days depending on the customers’ geographic location.

Canadian Distribution

In March 2008, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with Ferring Pharmaceutical, the Canadian subsidiary of an international pharmaceutical company currently producing gross revenue in excess of $1,000,000,000 USD.  Pursuant to the agreement, The Company granted exclusive marketing rights to this pharmaceutical company to distribute and market its line of Resurgex Select® products for cancer patients in Canada.   The product has been well received in Canada and the Company has successfully filled two purchase orders to Ferring Pharmaceutical both for $88,000 each one in December 2008 and another in January 2010, resulting in total revenue of $176,000 over a 13 month period since the first shipment in December of 2008.

Greek Distribution

In April 2007, the Company entered into an international distribution partnership with Nutrimedica, a Greek distributor of nutritional products with knowledge of the local market and regulations in Greece. Under this agreement, Nutrimedica is to import and distribute the Resurgex® products to hospitals, pharmacies, and directly to patients. Nutrimedica has initiated introduction of the Resurgex® products to the market, and sales have significantly increased over the previous three years.  The distribution agreement with Nutrimedica produced annual average revenue of $22,000 for the years 2006 and 2007.  The Company recorded revenue totaling $313,000 in 2008 and $582,000 in 2009 from Nutrimedica in Greece. The revenue decreased in 2010 to $28,200 due to the global economic problems that the country of Greece is experiencing.

Sports Nutrition Market Product Distribution

In order to initially prove acceptance in the sports nutrition market, the Company directly targeted the strength/conditioning coaches of professional sports teams. During the National Basketball Association (NBA™) 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 seasons, several NBA™ organizations purchased and used Surgex™, and had players using the products before and after practices and games.

PRODUCTS

Resurgex Select®

Resurgex Select® is a whole foods-based nutritional product that is designed to be used throughout the course of cancer treatment (chemotherapy, radiation, etc.), as many times patients lose weight and cannot consume adequate nutrition. This product combines dietary fiber (3 g), low sugar (5 g), and high protein (15 g) with no added antioxidants to be a high-calorie (350 calorie) supplement. The omission of antioxidants is important because many oncologists prefer to avoid the risk that antioxidants may pose during their patient’s treatments. With this nutritional formula (which may be administered orally or fed through a gastrointestinal [GI] tube), the right balance of nutritional support can be provided in one drink. It is available in three flavors (Vanilla Bean, Chocolate Fudge, and Fruit Smoothie) and each can be mixed with water, milk, juices, or in soft cold foods such as yogurt, apple sauce, or pudding.

Surgex™

Surgex™ (www.surgexsports.com), is a nutritional support formula that aims to address the concerns of many elite athletes who suffer from symptoms such as (fatigue, lean muscle loss, lactic acid buildup, oxidative stress, and stressed immune systems). This formula is designed to improve recovery parameters in efforts to enhance the performance of professional and collegiate athletes.

 
3

 

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA™) has specific rules about the use of certain amino acids, or anabolic agents. In fact, colleges and universities are prohibited from purchasing any product that contains amino acids or anabolic agents for athletes. This led to the development of the Surgex™ nutritional support formula.

Millennium has successfully tested its sports nutrition formula products at Rutgers University in New Jersey, among both the Men’s Division I Soccer Team and the Men’s Division I Football Team in two separate single-blind placebo-controlled studies. Both studies illustrated the product’s beneficial effects as a post-workout recovery aid, assisting the athlete in maximizing training responses and optimal recovery and improving performance. In addition, each batch of Surgex™ is certified by the Banned Substance Control Group (BSCG) to not contain any banned substances.

Resurgex Essential™

Millennium exited Research and Development on the Company’s first Ready to Drink Product line Resurgex Essential™ in July 2008.  The Essential™ line is a ready-to-drink alternative to Ensure® and Boost® designed to be marketed into the long-term care channel.  Resurgex Essential™ has 250 whole food calories containing no corn syrup or corn oil.  The product also contains fruit and vegetable extracts, and FOS Fiber to provide superior quality calories and taste when compared to the competition.  Resurgex Essential Plus™ contains the same high quality ingredients with a higher caloric value of 450 calories per 8 oz serving.

Product Functionality Overview

Several health concerns must be addressed when it comes to effectively providing nutritional support for any major disease or immuno-compromised condition. While other “single magic bullet” products on the market largely only focus on one area while potentially neglecting others, Millennium’s products have been developed to address the major dietary concerns that may be influenced by nutritional support, when incorporated as an adjunct to a patient’s medical care. Thus, rather than providing significant amounts of calories from corn oil, low-quality proteins, sucrose, and corn syrup combined with an inexpensive multivitamin blend, Millennium’s Resurgex Select® and Resurgex Essential™ have been developed to provide a comprehensive and complex array of nutrients, which fulfill necessary requirements in the health and well being of patients.

MARKETS

Size of the Market

The nutritional supplement market is expected to increase to around $8.5 billion by 2012 a 39% increase from 2007, according to Nutritional Supplements in the U.S., a report from Packaged Facts published in September 2008. This growth is likely to be attributed to several factors, including industry efforts to promote supplements as more essential than ever in weak economic times since they can help to avert the need for much costlier prescription drugs and medical treatments, bolstered product credibility as a result of the newly implemented federal GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and AER (adverse event report) requirements, increased industry self-regulation, and a steady stream of innovative new products targeting an ever broader range of increasingly specific conditions—especially the many age-related issues of aging Boomers and seniors.

Target Markets

Millennium’s products are intended to benefit patients with chronic debilitating diseases, such as cancer, as well as patients needing homecare and those undergoing wound healing or post-surgical healing, among other conditions. Millennium also launched Surgex™ in the fourth quarter of 2007.  Surgex™ has been clinically proven to address sports recovery needs for amateur and professional elite athletes. Greater details on these markets are provided below.

Cancer

Cancer is a class of diseases or disorders characterized by uncontrolled division of cells and the ability of these cells to spread, either by direct growth into adjacent tissue through invasion, or by implantation into distant sites by metastasis (where cancer cells are transported through the bloodstream or lymphatic system). Cancer may affect people at all ages, but risk tends to increase with age and is one of the principal causes of death in developed countries. There are many types of cancer, all of which require specific treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. These treatments, as well as the disease itself, often have a direct impact on a person’s nutritional health.

 
4

 

Millennium has recognized the need for a product that is specific to people receiving cancer treatment. For that reason, the Company has formulated its Resurgex Select®, designed to be utilized during cancer treatment.

Nutrition in Cancer

Cancer patients have specific nutritional needs in order to fight the disease and maintain their energy and quality of life. According to the Canadian Cancer Journal Clin. 2005;55:319-321, some of the requirements of cancer patients include protein from high biological value sources, specific amino acids (BCAAs), “good fats” (Medium Chain Triglycerides [MCTs], Omega-3 fatty acids, low in Omega-6 fats), healthy fruits and vegetables, and highly soluble fiber (oat fiber, fructooligosaccharide [FOS], etc.). Enteral nutritional support during cancer treatment or recovery can help to restore normal body protein levels, restore immune function, and promote weight gain.

Diet is an important part of cancer treatment since malnutrition is a common problem in cancer patients due to side effects, such as anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, mouth sores, trouble with swallowing, and pain, which make it difficult for cancer patients to eat well (where up to 85% of cancer patients experience malnutrition during their treatments). Malnutrition may also cause the patient to be weak, tired, and unable to resist infections or withstand some cancer therapies. Inadequate nutrition may further play an important role in adverse outcomes for patients, such as increased morbidity and mortality, as well as a decreased quality of life.

According to the NIH, the cancer and cancer treatments described below may cause nutrition-related side effects.

§
Surgery. Depending on the procedure, surgery can cause mechanical or physiologic barriers to adequate nutrition, such as a short gut, which results in malabsorption after bowel resection. In addition, surgery frequently imposes an immediate metabolic response that increases the energy needs and changes the nutritional requirements necessary for wound healing and recovery at a time when baseline needs and requirements are often not being met. A well-balanced diet that contains the recommended amounts of essential nutrients and calories may help promote wound healing.

§
Chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment that affects the whole body and causes potentially more side effects than surgery or radiation therapy. The most commonly experienced nutrition-related side effects are anorexia, taste changes, early satiety, nausea, vomiting, mucositis/esophagitis, diarrhea, and constipation. Such side effects in combination with the cancer can greatly affect a patient’s nutritional status. Nutritional support or high-calorie/high-protein liquid supplements may be used in an effort to maintain adequate calorie and nutrient intake.

§
Radiation. Radiation therapy can produce changes in normal physiologic function of healthy tissue that may ultimately diminish a patient’s nutritional status by interfering with ingestion, digestion, or absorption of nutrients. Side effects of radiation therapy depend on the area irradiated, total dose, fractionation, duration, and volume irradiated. Adequate calories and protein can help maintain patient strength and prevent body tissues from further catabolism. Individuals who do not consume adequate calories and protein make use of stored nutrients as an energy source, which leads to protein wasting and further weight loss.

 
o
Many patients who are undergoing radiation therapy can benefit from nutritional supplements between meals. Aggressive nutritional support is indicated when oral intake alone fails to maintain an individual’s weight. Tube feedings, which are used more frequently than parenteral nutrition (primarily to preserve GI function), are usually well tolerated, pose less risk to the patient than parenteral feedings, and are more cost effective.

It is noteworthy that the use of antioxidants to promote healing during cancer treatments has been highly debated. According to the American Cancer Society, some recently published studies state that antioxidant supplementation may cause new disease or interference with treatment in some cancer patients. Thus, based on conflicting information as to the benefits and harms of antioxidants on patients undergoing treatment, Millennium has developed Resurgex Select® to support a cancer patient’s nutritional needs without containing antioxidants.

Sports Recovery

Competitive athletes often suffer from similar symptoms to those battling cancer or immuno-compromised diseases, such as fatigue, oxidative stress, muscle wasting, and possibly lack of immune support due to the demands they put on their bodies daily. In order to compete effectively, these athletes need a solution to address some of the key concerns they face, described below.

§
Fatigue and Mitochondrial Dysfunction. Damage done to the mitochondria is typically attributed to the buildup of free radicals and other noxious byproducts, such as lactic acid that accumulates during and after strenuous activity.

§
Oxidative Stress. Oxygen consumption greatly increases during exercise, which leads to increased free radical production. Also, free radical formation within the muscle during exercise can easily damage muscle tissue and inhibit performance by the induction of fatigue.

§
Muscle Wasting. A common problem during strenuous activity is lean muscle loss or wasting as muscle tends to breakdown after vigorous activity. This problem can have a serious impact on performance and recovery.

§
Immune Support. Exercise has also been shown to have a positive effect on the immune system if one does not overtrain. Signs and signals of overtraining are a constant feeling of fatigue, loss of strength or endurance, and although still exercising, a feeling of burnout. Additionally, excessive exercise or periods of very heavy conditioning could lead to suppression of immunity for several hours to a week or longer, creating a brief period of vulnerability when the risk of upper respiratory tract infections is increased.

Effect of Banned Nutritionals

In recent years, professional athletes have come under considerable scrutiny for taking different substances or performance enhancers. Whether it is the Olympics, Tour de France, baseball, or other professional sports, organizations constantly test athletes for chemicals within their body that would indicate they have taken an illegal substance to boost their performance. Millennium’s Surgex™ sports nutritional formula product is devoid of any banned substances.

Each batch of the Company’s product is tested for a list of substances by the Banned Substance Control Group (BSCG) that are outlawed by organizations such as the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), the NCAA, and the National Football League (NFL). All of the Surgex™ products receive a seal from the BSCG, a WADA-approved laboratory. Therefore, athletes need not worry about consuming any substance that could disqualify them from competition by using the Company’s products.  The product also meets all NCAA guidelines for Nutritional Supplements.

Rutgers Studies: Demonstrating the Effect of Surgex™ Sports Nutrition Formula vs. Placebo

Millennium has conducted two clinical trials at Rutgers University among the Men’s Division I Soccer and Football teams, demonstrating the effect of the Surgex™ sports nutrition formula versus a placebo. Both studies showed the product’s beneficial effects as post-workout recovery aid, assisting the athlete in maximizing training responses and aiding in optimal recovery.

Division I Men’s Soccer Team-Results of the Trial-Published in The Journal for Strength and Conditioning Research

Millennium conducted its first clinical trial among the Rutgers University Men’s Division I Soccer team during their preseason training regimen.  The clinical trial was accepted for publication in The Journal for Strength and Conditioning Research (“JSCR”).  The JCSR is the official research journal of the National Strength and Conditioning Association, (``NSCA''). This journal is recognized as the preeminent publication for strength and conditioning coaches worldwide. These thought leaders rely on this journal for the future of leading edge science as applied to their profession.

Preseason training often places a high demand on athletes, and requires them to engage in frequent, high-intensity workouts with limited time devoted to recovery. Soccer players spend a considerable portion of a match at an intensity close to 75% of VO2 max (the maximum amount of oxygen in milliliters that one can use in one minute per kilogram of body weight) and rely on anaerobic metabolism and power during brief bursts of sprinting, kicking, and jumping. These players must be able to perform near maximal capacity for extended periods, which may result in increased oxidative stress. With outside supplementation of protective nutraceuticals, it may be possible to reduce acute and chronic oxidative stress, as well as capitalize on gains from intense preseason training.

The purpose of this study was to examine changes in performance and oxidative stress in collegiate soccer players over the course of preseason preparation, and to determine the impact of a supplemental proprietary nutraceutical blend proposed to reduce oxidative stress and enhance recovery.

Results

A summary of the findings of the soccer trial is provided in Table 8.

This single-blind, placebo-controlled trial found that the Company’s Surgex™ sports nutrition formula enhanced performance parameters and reduced oxidative stress levels (free radical damage caused by exercise) in players. Oxidative stress in the body is caused by imbalance or overload of oxidants (free radicals from air, food, metabolism, medications, stress, disease, etc.). Sustained oxidative stress disrupts the cells’ defenses, resulting in damage that contributes to the development of many diseases.

Results indicated a beneficial effect of the Surgex™ sports nutrition formula, including improvements in performance capacity, time to exhaustion, lactic acid response, and reduced oxidative stress. This data suggests an important role for Resurgex® in the sports fitness field in addition to its proven benefits for cancer and immuno-compromised medical patients.  The fact that this trial is approved for publication in the JSCR confirms the results of this clinical trial have been reviewed and approved by an independent and accredited third party.

Rutgers’ Division I Football Team-Results of the Trial Published in the Journal of Comparative Exercise Physiology.

The Company also conducted a second clinical trial on the Rutgers University Division I Football team versus a placebo group. The study tested the recovery time, strength, and body composition of the players versus a placebo (a leading competitor sports formula). The results concluded that the Surgex™ sports nutrition formula significantly enhanced recovery parameters, strength, and body composition in the football players.

Results

Those receiving the Surgex™ sports nutrition formula showed significant increases in their peak power, as measured by Wingate testing (assessment for peak anaerobic power, anaerobic fatigue, and total anaerobic capacity through a combination of running, vertical jumping, and resistance training), better muscle to fat weight gains, and an improved testosterone:cortisol ratio, as well as reduction of interleukin 6 (IL6), creatine kinase, and isoprostanes versus the control group.

Testosterone and cortisol are the two hormones affected by training. The cortisol levels typically elevate and break down lean muscle. Testosterone, in contrast, which is the supporter of lean muscle, decreases, therefore causing lean muscle breakdown in the body after strenuous exercise. In this study, the Resurgex® group had significantly improved testosterone to cortisol ratios versus the control group. A summary of the findings of this study is provided in Table 9.

EFFECTS ON STRENGTH, BODY COMPOSITION, AND OXIDATIVE STRESS
Improved Body Composition
 
While both groups gained weight, the Resurgex ® group gained muscle and lost a slight amount of body fat while a leading competitor sports formula (control) group gained ½ of their body weight as fat.
     
Improved Power and Strength
 
Using Wingate testing, peak power was measured for each test and standardized by body weight. The increase in peak power in the Resurgex ® group was approximately 86% greater than the increase in the leading competitor sports formula group.
     
Improved Recovery Parameters
 
The Resurgex ® group had a significant improvement in their testosterone:cortisol ratio, while a leading competitor sports formula group had a decrease in this ratio.

The practical application emerging from the study demonstrates the beneficial application of the Surgex™ sports nutrition formula as a post-workout recovery aid, assisting the athlete in maximizing training responses by helping to buffer the acute and chronic biochemical challenges to optimal recovery. The product also has the ability to reduce inflammatory and oxidative stress markers, as well as compounds that can break down muscle. Millennium believes that these findings can help the Company position the Surgex™ sports nutrition formula as an aid to help athletes increase their performance by improving recovery, strength, and energy parameters.

On March 20, 2006, Millennium received the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code for Resurgex Select®. HCPCS is one of the formats in which nutritional formulas may be coded for Medicare reimbursement and is specifically required for Medicaid reimbursement in many states.

Medicaid Reimbursement

Medicare/Medicaid

Millennium has received federal government approval to have its Resurgex Select® nutritional product line covered by Medicare.  The Company is currently applying for HCPCS Codes for the Resurgex Essential™ and Resurgex Essential Plus™ along with the tube feeding product currently in Research and Development which upon receipt will be approved for Medicare reimbursement.

Growth Strategy and Distribution

Millennium has implemented a variety of strategies and formed partnerships that are intended to penetrate the various specialized markets for nutritional products, which are targeted by the Company (oncology patients, immuno-compromised individuals, and athletes seeking effective sports recovery). Currently, products can be purchased through the Company’s websites, www.milbiotech.com and www.resurgex.com, or ordered by phone (877) RESURGX. Additionally, in select areas, Medicaid-associated pharmacies distribute the Company’s products. Furthermore, select international distribution agreements are in place (as described below), which are intended to expand the Company beyond U.S. markets. Each of the Company’s growth strategies in terms of product distribution are detailed below.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

During 2010 and 2009, the Company spent $30,711 and $37,835, respectively, on research and development of its products.  The research and development expenses incurred in 2010 are directly related to the development of the Surgex product line.  The increased research and development expenses incurred in 2009 are directly related to the development of the Resurgex Essential™ ready-to-drink product line.

COMPETITION

The Company’s products target the nutritional supplement market, specifically the ready-to-drink beverage market, as an adjunct or meal replacement. The products that most directly compete with the Company’s products  in the adult nutrition market are produced by mainstream manufacturers—Boost® by Nestle, Ensure® by the Ross Product Division of Abbott Laboratories Inc., and Carnation® Instant Breakfast® by Nestlé—as well as generic (store branded) products that are marketed head-to-head against these products.

§
Resurgex Select® and Resurgex Essential™ address multiple issues that cause diminished fatigue and quality of life in immuno-compromised individuals. To the Company’s knowledge, no other product on the market can make this claim.  These include the following:

 
o
Mitochondrial support (energy);
 
 
o
Reducing oxidative stress;
 
 
o
Building lean muscle;
 
 
o
Immune support; and
 
 
o
Providing healthy, whole food calories.
 
§
Many of the mass-market competitors manufacture their products using the least expensive ingredients, which ensures low retail price and high profitability. This means diminished bioavailability and low biological value, as well as less benefit to the end user.

§
Resurgex Select® and Resurgex Essential™ were developed with the ingredients necessary in order to deliver optimal performance.

§
Resurgex Select® and Resurgex Essential™ deliver therapeutic levels of active ingredients based on the scientific research.

§
Millennium has a use and composition patent for the existing formulas.  Ensure® and Boost® are composed of mostly corn syrup and provide “empty calories,” which could do more harm than good, especially in glucose-sensitive individuals.
 
While the majority of other companies in this market sell the bulk of their product through the mass market, these formulations may not transfer well into the highly critical medical market, which Millennium’s products target. Additionally, many of these products have been slow to update their formulas and incorporate the latest nutritional ingredients. Descriptions of the products which Millennium believes could be considered competitors to its own product line are provided in the accompanying section, along with a price summary of each of these products, relative to Resurgex Select®, which is provided in Table 10.

MANUFACTURING

Agropur, Inc., is the Company’s outsourced manufacturer and co-packagers for the Essential™ and Essential Plus™ lines at its kosher designated, aseptic facility in Grand Rapids, MI.

Garden State Nutritionals is the Company’s outsourced manufacture and co-packagers for the Resurgex Select® and Surgex™ lines at their facility in West Caldwell, New Jersey.

OTHER MATTERS

Sports Nutrition Market

Based on historical acceptance by 10 NBA teams, PGA golfers, and NFL players with little or no marketing budget, management expects to exponentially improve results with proper marketing and distribution strategies which cater to the mass market of sports nutrition consumers.

 Products such as those listed below, as well as many other “high protein” drinks, are marketed as sports nutrition supplements and may be considered competitive products to the Company’s Surgex™ sports nutrition formula. It is important to note that as the high-protein drink market is expansive, these competitive products are not an exhaustive list of competitors. Rather, these products are representative of some of the high-protein drink products on the market today that may compete with Surgex™ sports nutrition formula. Surgex™ sports nutrition formula will likely provide athletes with the important calories they need while being competitively priced with other products.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION HISTORY

The manufacturing, processing, formulation, packaging, labeling and advertising of all of Millennium’s product lines are subject to regulation by federal agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration (the  "FDA"), the Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the United States Department of Agriculture, the United States Postal Service and the United States Environmental Protection Agency. These activities are also subject to regulation by various agencies of the states and localities in which the Company sells and plans to sell its products.

The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (the "Dietary Supplement Law") broadly regulates nutritional labeling, claims and manufacturing requirements for dietary supplements.  The Dietary Supplement Law provides for regulation of Statements of Nutritional Support ("Statements").  These Statements may be made if they are truthful and not misleading and if "adequate" substantiation for the claims is available.  Statements can describe claims of enhanced well-being from use of the dietary supplement or product statements that relate to affecting a structure or function of the body.  However, statements cannot claim to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, regardless of the possible existence of scientific reports substantiating such claims.

 
11

 

Statements appearing in dietary supplement labeling must be accompanied by disclaimer stating that the FDA has not evaluated the Statements.  Notification to the FDA of these Statements is not considered approval of the Statements.  If the FDA determines in possible future proceedings that dietary supplement Statements fail to meet the requirements of the Dietary Supplement Law, a product may be subject to regulation as a drug.  The FDA retains all enforcement means available to it (i.e. seizure, civil or criminal penalties, etc.), when investigating or enforcing labeling claims.

The Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") regulates advertising of dietary supplements which includes all of Millennium’s products.  The Federal Trade Commission Act prohibits unfair or deceptive trade practices and false or misleading advertising.  The FTC has recently been very active in its enforcement of advertising against manufacturers and distributors of nutritional dietary supplements having instituted several enforcement actions resulting in signed agreements and payment of large fines.  Although the Company has not been the target of a FTC investigation, there can be no assurance that the FTC will not investigate the Company's advertising in the future.

The Company is unable to predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations, or applications,  nor can it predict what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative orders, when and if promulgated,  would have on its business in the future.  They could, however, require the reformulation of certain products not possible to be reformulated, imposition of additional record keeping requirements, and expanded documentation of the properties of certain products, expanded or different labeling and scientific substantiation regarding product ingredients, safety or usefulness.  Any or all such requirements could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

PRODUCT LIABILITY AND INSURANCE

The Company, like other producers and distributors of ingested products, faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that, among other things, the use of its products results in injury.  The Company maintains insurance against product liability claims with respect to the products it manufactures.  With respect to the retail and direct marketing distribution of products produced by others, the Company’s principal form of insurance consists of arrangements with each of its suppliers of those products to name the Company as beneficiary on each of such vendor’s product liability insurance policies.  The Company does not buy products from suppliers who do not maintain such coverage.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 2010, the Company employed 6 persons, of whom one is primarily engaged in research and development and product support activities, two are primarily engaged in overall managerial functions associated with operations, capital raising, distribution partnerships and sales and marketing, two are primarily engaged in day to day managerial operations and one is engaged in general administrative and wholesale/direct to consumer sales functions.  The Company has no collective bargaining agreements with its employees.

INFORMATION SYSTEMS INFRASTRUCTURE

Our website, which is based on internally developed software and other third party software, is hosted in New York at Futurological Strategies, Inc.   Our servers and our network are monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

We use a variety of techniques to protect our confidential customer data.  When our customers place an order or access their account information, we use a secure server (SSL) to transfer information.  Our secure server software encrypts all information entered before it is sent to our server.  All customer data is protected against unauthorized access.  We use Thawte software to secure our credit card transactions.

ITEM 1A:
RISK FACTORS

The following cautionary statements identify important factors that could cause our actual result to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements made in this report.

We have operated at a loss and cannot assure that we will be able to attain profitable operations.

Although we are generating revenues, we continue to operate at a loss. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we generated revenues of $259,290 from sales of our three products.  However, during this period we realized net losses of $3,442,573, of which $2,033,296 were non-cash items primarily related to issuance of shares and warrants for compensation, services, and associated with financing transactions during the period.  We expect to continue incurring operating losses until we are able to derive meaningful revenues from marketing our three products and other products we intend to bring to market.   We cannot assure that we will be able to attain profitable operations.

We require additional funding to maintain our operations and to further develop our business.  Our inability to obtain additional financing would have an adverse effect on our business.

Our success depends on our ability to develop a market for our three products and other nutraceutical supplements we intend to bring to market.  This means having an adequate advertising and marketing budget and adequate funds to continue to promote our products.  Although our revenues have decreased, our operating expenses are significantly greater than our revenues. During 2010, the Company obtained new capital in the form of debt resulting in the receipt by the Company of $2,107,500. The Company obtained $1,280,260 from new subscriptions for Units consisting of shares of convertible preferred stock and promissory notes with a principal amount of $1,280,260 and $1,182,500 from outright borrowings, net of debt repayments, through issuance of promissory notes (see Note 8 to our audited Financial Statements below).  The company also raised debt of $825,000 in August 2010. These funds in conjunction with on going operating revenues provided adequate capital for our operating needs for 2010.  We need to continue to raise funds to cover working capital requirements until we are able to raise revenues to a point of positive cash flow.  We plan to do this, as before, through additional equity or debt financings.  We may not be able to raise such funds on terms acceptable to us or at all.  Financings may be on terms that are dilutive or potentially dilutive to our stockholders.   If sources of financing are insufficient or unavailable, we will be required to modify our operating plans to the extent of available funding or curtail or suspend operations.

Our year end audited financial statements contain a “going concern” explanatory paragraph. Our inability to continue as a going concern would require a restatement of assets and liabilities on a liquidation basis, which would differ materially and adversely from the going concern basis on which our financial statements included in this report have been prepared.

Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 included herein have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern.  Our auditors’ report on the consolidated financial statements contained herein includes an additional explanatory paragraph following the opinion paragraph on our ability to continue as a going concern.  A note to these consolidated financial statements describes the reasons why there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and our plans to address this issue.  Our December 31, 2010 and 2009 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  Our inability to continue as a going concern would require a restatement of assets and liabilities on a liquidation basis, which would differ materially and adversely from the going concern basis on which our consolidated financial statements have been prepared.  See, “Part II. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

We are subject to significant government regulation.

The packaging, labeling, advertising, promotion, distribution and sale of Resurgex Select®, Resurgex Essential™ and Surgex™ and other products we plan to produce and market are subject to regulation by numerous governmental agencies, the most active of which is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA"), which regulates our products under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the "FDCA") and regulations promulgated thereunder. Our products are also subject to regulation by, among other regulatory entities, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (the "CPSC"), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (the "USDA") and the Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA"). Advertising and other forms of promotion and methods of marketing of our products are subject to regulation by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC"), which regulates these activities under the Federal Trade Commission Act (the "FTCA"). The manufacture, labeling and advertising of our products are also regulated by various state and local agencies.  Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements may result in, among other things, injunctions, product withdrawals, recalls, product seizures, and fines.

 
13

 

Our involvement in defending product liability claims could have a detrimental effect on our operations.

Like other retailers and distributors of products designed for human consumption, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of our products results in injury.  We may be subjected to various product liability claims, including, among others, that our products include inadequate instructions for use or inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects and interactions with other substances. We carry $10,000,000 of product liability insurance.  Thus, any product liabilities exceeding our coverage relating to our products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We face significant competition.

The biotechnology and nutraceutical supplement industries are highly competitive and subject to significant and rapid technological change.  Developments by our competitors may render our products obsolete or noncompetitive.  Numerous companies compete in our market, many of which have greater size and financial, personnel, distribution and other resources greater than ours. Our principal competition in the distribution channels where we are marketing our current products and where we intend to market other products comes from a limited number of large nationally known manufacturers and many smaller manufacturers of nutraceutical supplements.  In addition, large pharmaceutical companies compete with us on a limited basis in the nutraceutical supplement market. Increased competition from such companies could have a material adverse effect on us because such companies have greater financial and other resources available to them and possess distribution and marketing capabilities far greater than ours. We also face competition in mass market distribution channels from private label nutraceutical supplements offered by health and natural food store chains and drugstore chains.  We cannot assure that we will be able to compete.

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property or we infringe on intellectual property of others, our business and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

We own all rights to the formulation of Resurgex®, Resurgex Plus®, Resurgex Select®, and Surgex™ have a use and compositional patent with respect to Resurgex® (which covers Resurgex Plus®), and Resurgex Select®.  Surgex™ is patent pending.  We also have registered trademarks for the names "Resurgex", “Resurgex Plus” and “Resurgex Select”.  “Surgex” has preliminary Trade mark reservation status. We have filed patent applications internationally with regards to all patents and patents pending.  No assurance can be given that patents will be issued from pending applications or that there right, if issued and the rights from our existing patents and registered name will afford us adequate protections.  In addition, we rely on trade secrets and unpatented proprietary technology. There is no assurance that others may not independently develop the same or similar technology or produce products which provide the same benefits as the current product lines.

           Although we will seek to ensure that our products do not infringe the intellectual property rights of others, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert intellectual property infringement claims against us. Any infringement claims by third parties against us may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Because our Board can issue common stock and convertible preferred without stockholder approval, you could experience substantial dilution.

Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock, shares of preferred stock that can be converted into common stock at high rations and options and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock without stockholder approval.  As of March 31, 2011, there were 23,756,132 shares issued and outstanding or reserved for issuance on a fully-diluted basis.  Future issuance of additional shares of common stock could be at values substantially below the current market price of our common stock and, therefore, could represent substantial dilution to investors in this offering.  In addition, our Board could issue large blocks of our common stock to fend off unwanted tender offers or hostile takeovers without further stockholder approval.

 
14

 

Anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law could discourage a merger or other type of corporate reorganization or a change in control even if they could be favorable to the interests of our stockholders.

The Delaware General Corporation Law contains provisions which may enable our management to retain control and resist a takeover of us.  These provisions generally prevent us from engaging in a broad range of business combinations with an owner of 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock for a period of three years from the date that this person acquires his stock.  Accordingly, these provisions could discourage or make more difficult a change in control or a merger or other type of corporate reorganization even if they could be favorable to the interests of our stockholders.

We do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock.  We currently intend to retain all of our earnings, if any, for use in its business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  The payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including future earnings, the success of our business activities, our general financial condition and future prospects, general business conditions and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant.  In addition, no cash dividends may be declared or paid on our Common Stock if, and as long as, the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding or there are unpaid dividends on outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock.  No dividends may be declared on the Series C Preferred Stock if, and as long as, the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding.  Accordingly, it is unlikely that we will declare any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Series E and F Convertible Preferred Stock do not carry any dividends.

We cannot assure that there will be a sustained public market for our common stock.

At present, our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and tradable in the over-the-counter market.  Our common stock is not traded on a sustained basis or with significant volume.  In addition, we currently do not meet the requirements for listing our common stock on NASDAQ or a national securities exchange and we cannot assure if or when our common stock will be listed on such an exchange.  For the foregoing reasons, we cannot assure that there will be a significant and sustained public market for the sale of our common stock. Accordingly, if you purchase our common stock, you may be unable to resell it.  In the absence of any readily available secondary market for our common stock, you may experience great difficulty in selling your shares at or near the price that you originally paid.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile.

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to the following factors:

 
·
variations in quarterly operating results;

 
·
our announcements of significant contracts, milestones, acquisitions;

 
·
our relationships with other companies or capital commitments;

 
·
additions or departures of key personnel;

 
·
sales of common stock or termination of stock transfer restrictions;

 
·
changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; and

 
·
fluctuations in stock market price and volume.

 
15

 

Our stock price may be adversely affected if a significant amount of shares are sold in the public market.

As of March 31, 2011, approximately 1,897,854 shares of our common stock constituted "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act.  Generally, pursuant to Rule 144, stockholders who are not affiliates of our company can resell their restricted securities after they have held them for at least six months.  Consequently, most of our restricted securities are or soon will be eligible for public sale.   As of March 31, 2011, we also had warrants outstanding for the purchase of an aggregate of 208,915 shares of our common stock, and no stock options outstanding.  To the extent the exercise price of the warrants is less than the market price of the common stock, the holders of the warrants are likely to exercise them and, eventually, sell the underlying shares of common stock and to the extent that the exercise price of the warrants are adjusted pursuant to anti-dilution protection, the warrants could be exercisable or convertible for even more shares of common stock. Moreover, we most likely will issue additional shares of common stock and/or instruments convertible into or exercisable for common stock to raise funding or compensate employees, consultants and/or directors.  We are unable to estimate the amount, timing or nature of future sales of outstanding common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market could cause the market price for our common stock to decrease. Furthermore, a decline in the price of our common stock would likely impede our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional shares of common stock or other equity securities.

Our shares are subject to the Penny Stock Reform Act.

Our shares are subject to the Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 which may potentially decrease your ability to easily transfer our shares. Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks" are regulated. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules.

Because the risk factors referred to above could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements.  Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.  New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which will arise.  In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

ITEM 2:
PROPERTIES

The Company leases certain office space and equipment under operating leases.

In October 2001 the Company entered into a lease for 4,558 square feet of office space located in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. In October 2007 the Company extended its lease commitment for an additional 5 years commencing in December 2007, with an annual right to renew or cancel.  The terms of the lease provide for a rental fee of $10,635 per month, plus an allocated portion of certain operating expenses.  The lease is personally guaranteed by the Company’s former Chairman of the Board of Directors and former Chief Executive Officer Jerry E. Swon. In December 2007 the Company sublet a portion of the premises to a sub-tenant (“Sub-tenant 1”). Under the terms of the sub-lease, as amended, Sub-tenant 1 paid a rent of $4,000 per month.  Sub-tenant 1 ended its sublease on August 2009.  The Company entered into a verbal sub-lease agreement with (“Sub-tenant 2”) in September 2008.  Sub-tenant 2 paid rent in the amount of $4,000 per month directly to the landlord from September 2008 through August 2009.  In September 2009 Sub-tenant 2 increased rent payments direct to the landlord to $7,000 per month.  This arrangement continues to the present time and Sub-tenant 2 was current in its payments to the landlord as of December 31, 2009. In December 2009, the Company relocated its operations to a new facility in Paramus, New Jersey, and entered into a three-year lease for 1,724 square feet of office space, at a monthly rent of $2,299 plus utilities. To reduce the carrying cost of the Basking Ridge, NJ lease.  In April 2010 the Company negotiated and entered into a formal sub-lease agreement with a third sub-tenant (“Sub-tenant 3”) who will occupy the facilities in Basking Ridge, NJ through December 2012.  As of April 2010 Sub-tenant 2 and 3 are paying $7,000 per month and $6,440 per month respectively.  This provides the Company with complete coverage of the Lease Obligations related to the Basking Ridge, NJ location.

(a)  Market Information

The Company’s common stock currently trades in the OTC market and is quoted on the Electronic Bulletin Board of the OTC market, under the symbol NRTI.  The following table sets forth, for the calendar quarters indicated during the last two fiscal years and the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the high and low quotations of the Company’s common stock. The quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down, or commission and may not represent actual transactions. The market for the common stock has been sporadic and there have been long periods during which there were few, if any, transactions in the common stock and no reported quotations.  Accordingly, reliance should not be placed on the quotes listed below, as the trades and depth of the market may be limited, and therefore, such quotes may not be a true indication of the current market value of the Company's common stock.

ITEM 7:
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009:

Total revenues generated from the sales of Resurgex Essential™, Resurgex Essential Plus™, and Resurgex Select® for the year ended December 31, 2010 totaled $259,290, a decrease of 81% from the year ended December 31, 2009 which totaled $1,363,120.

At this stage in the Company’s development, revenues are not yet sufficient to cover ongoing operating expenses.

Gross profits for the year ended December 31, 2010 amounted to $105,210 for a 41% gross margin. Gross profits decreased $427,614 or 80% for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $532,824 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The decrease in gross profits is a result lower revenue and lower price points to customers in order to attract larger clients in the long-term care market.

After deducting research and development costs of $30,711 and selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,450,065, which included $814,301 in non-cash outlays in the form of debt, restricted stock and warrants issued for professional fees and compensation, the Company realized an operating loss of $1,375,566.  Operating losses for 2010 of $1,375,566 were down $4,488,881 or 77% as compared to the 2009 operating loss of $5,864,447.  Approximately $2,850,000 was due to reduced compensation expense, there was a reversal of $1,298,000 for management stock grant returned to the Company. The reversal occurred in 2010 because of change of estimate. The company was not properly funded for management to achieve the required revenue goals. In 2009 a management stock grant of $1,550,000 was expensed. Non-operating expenses totaled $2,067,007 for the year ended December 31, 2010 a increase of 331% or $1,587,217 as compared to $479,790 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The increase in non-operating expenses of $1,587,217 was due to material differences in the other income/expense section of the Statement of Operations.  The first was a net loss of $275,403 which was realized on a loss from the extinguishment of debt net of losses incurred related to the debt restructuring which occurred in the second quarter of 2010 versus the prior years gain of $2,012,600 which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2009.  In addition interest and financing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $1,415,807 which where decreased by $1,199,434 or 46% as compared to $2,615,241 for the year ended December 31, 2009 due to less debt outstanding in 2010.  In addition the company had a full year of amortization of debt discount of $370,597 for the year ended December 31, 2010 an increase of $327,248 or 755% as compared to two months in the year ended December 31, 2009.

The net result for the year ended December 31, 2010 was a loss of $3,442,573 or $0.20 per share, compared to a loss of $6,344,237 or $1.67 per share for the prior year.  Management will continue to make an effort to lower operating expenses and increase revenue.  The Company will continue to invest in further expanding its operations and a comprehensive marketing campaign with the goal of accelerating the education of potential clients and promoting the name and products of the Company. Given the fact that most of the operating expenses are fixed or have quasi-fixed character management expects them to significantly decrease as a percentage of revenues as revenues increase.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s business operations generally have been financed by new equity and debt investments through convertible promissory notes with accredited investors.  During 2010, the Company obtained new equity capital that supplied the majority of the funds that were needed to finance operations during the reporting period. Such new borrowings resulted in the receipt by the Company of $2,107,500.  While these funds sufficed to compensate for the negative cash flow from operations they were not sufficient to build up a liquidity reserve.  As a result, the Company’s financial position at the end of the year showed a working capital showing a deficit of $8,644,432.  During the first and second quarter of 2011 the Company obtained new financing of $1,025,000 through the issuance of debt sufficient to fund ongoing working capital requirements.  We need to continue to raise funds to cover working capital requirements until we are able to raise revenues to a point of positive cash flow.   See “Risk Factors: We require additional funding to maintain our operations and to further develop our business.”
 
Our financial statements have been prepared and presented on a basis assuming we will continue as a going concern. The above factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, as more fully discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained herein and in the report of our independent registered public accounting firm accompanying our financial statements.

ITEM 9:
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

The Company was notified that the audit practice of Bagell, Josephs, Levine & Company, LLC, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (the “Former Accountant”), was combined with Friedman LLP (“New Accountant”) on January 1, 2010.  As of the same date, the Former Accountant resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company and, with the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, the New Accountant was engaged to be the Company’s independent reistered public accounting firm.

During the two years ended December 31, 2010, and from December 31, 2008 through January 1, 2011, there were no  reportable events as the term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K.

 
ITEM 9A (T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Management of the Company has evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as a result of the material weakness and significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, as of the December 31, 2010, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that the information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
  Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based on the evaluation, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, that adversely affects the entity’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the entity’s financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal control. A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management identified the following material weakness and significant deficiencies in its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010:

 
21

 

 
·
Material weakness: The Company did not maintain effective controls over certain aspects of the financial reporting process because we lacked a sufficient complement of personnel with a level of accounting expertise and an adequate supervisory review structure that is commensurate with the Company’s financial reporting requirements.
 
·
Significant deficiencies:
 
o
Inadequate segregation of duties
 
o
Untimely account reconciliations

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 Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company has evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, any change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in that evaluation that occurred during the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting, other than what has been reported above.

In May 2009, the current holders of an aggregate of $2,708,000 principal amount of senior debt secured by the assets of the Company (“Senior Secured Notes”) threatened foreclose on the Senior Secured Notes as a result of the Company’s default under the terms of the Senior Secured Notes.  The perfected first lien and security interest securing the Senior Secured Notes were superior to all other liens, claims, judgments and other security interests in the Company.   In May, 2009, a group of three investors, including Ken Sadowsky, a director of the Company, Leon Frenkel and Seahorse Enterprises (collectively, the “Creditor Investors”), purchased all of the Senior Secured Notes. By purchasing the Notes, the Creditor Investors relieved the Company of the difficulties associated with the previous holders of the Senior Secured Notes and the threat of immediate foreclosure.  Also, the Creditor Investors provided an additional $924,000 in financing to the Company, enabling the Company to fund the manufacturing and production of products to fulfill outstanding key customer purchase orders.   In November 2009, the Creditor Investors converted all of the above debt into 32.2 Units in the Private Placement (see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations” in Part II above).  The E Preferred converted into  shares of Common Stock on March 15, 2010.

As part of the debt restructuring discussed in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations” in Part II above, in November 2009, we granted management an aggregate of 15,500 shares of E Preferred (the “Performance Shares”), which represented such number of E Preferred that are convertible into common stock equal to 10% of the fully diluted common shares following December 15, 2009, the final closing date (the “Final Closing Date”) of the Private Placement.  Pursuant to these management grants, Mark C. Mirken received 12,150 shares of E Preferred, Frank Guarino received 1,500 shares of E Preferred and Carl Germano received 1,500 shares of E Preferred.  All of the foregoing shares of E Preferred automatically converted into shares of Common Stock on March 15, 2010 at the rate of 10,000 shares of Common Stock for each share of E Preferred.  In the event that the gross revenue of our subsidiary, Millennium Biotechnologies, Inc., for the 13 month period immediately following the Final Closing Date (the “Target Period”) is less than $15 million (the “Target Revenue”), the number of Performance Shares shall be reduced by 10% for each $1 million under the Target Revenue and such number of reduced Performance Shares shall be issue to the purchasers of the Units in the Private Placement based upon the percentage of Units purchased by each such purchaser.  The Target Period shall commence when we and/or our subsidiary have received at least $1,000,000 in working capital from any sources including from the net proceeds of the Private Placement.  The right to so reduce and reallocate any portion of the Performance Shares is dependent on the Target Period commencing within 60 days of the Final Closing Date.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Performance Shares shall not be reduced by more than 50% of the total Performance Shares issued.

During 2009, we also issued restricted stock awards to certain officers and directors, as follows:

Carl Germano was issued 750,000 common shares pursuant to a royalty waiver issued in 2008, and 300,000 common shares for special services performed.

Benjamin Custodio received $40,000 in cash compensation he also received 200 shares of E Preferred which converted into 2,000,000 common shares, as a director’s fee.

Michael C. James received 100 shares of E Preferred which converted into 1,000,000 common shares, as a director’s fee.  In addition, in 2010, Mr. James purchased one Unit (100 shares of F Preferred and a Unit Note in the principal amount of $100,000) for $100,000.

The Company’s board of directors consists of the following four directors:  Mark C. Mirken, Kenneth Sadowsky, Benjamin Custodio and Michael James.  The Company’s board has determined that Messrs. Custodio and James are independent under Section 803A(2) of the NYSE Amex Company Guide (although our securities are not listed on the NYSEAmex or any other national exchange).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Inergetics, Inc. and Subsidiary
(f/k/a Millennium Biotechnologies Group, Inc.)
Paramus, New Jersey

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Inergetics, Inc. (f/k/a Millennium Biotechnologies Group, Inc.) and subsidiary as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2010.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has working capital deficits, significant debt outstanding, incurred substantial accumulated deficits and operating losses. These issues lead to substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also discussed in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and business

On March 15, 2010 the Company changed its name to Inergetics, Inc. (the Company or "Inergetics"), formerly Millennium Biotechnologies Group, Inc., which is the holding company for its subsidiary Millennium Biotechnologies, Inc. ("Millennium").

Millennium was incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 9, 2000 and is located in New Jersey.  Millennium is a research based bio-nutraceutical corporation involved in the field of nutritional science.  Millennium’s principal source of revenue is from sales of its nutraceutical supplements, Resurgex Select® and Resurgex Essential™ and Resurgex Essential Plus™ which serve as a nutritional support for immuno-compromised individuals undergoing medical treatment for chronic debilitating diseases.
 
In January 2011 the board of directors approved a reverse stock split of 1 for 80. The financial statements have retroactively restated common shares to the earliest presentation reported along with the earnings per share calculation.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s operations presently consist almost exclusively of the operations of Millennium.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary.  All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the 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 as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates and judgments on our experience and on various assumptions we believe are reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation, which includes amortization of assets under capital leases, is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: 3-8 years for machinery and equipment, leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the underlying lease term.   Repairs and maintenance expenditures which do not extend the useful lives of related assets are expensed as incurred.

Patents

Patents are capitalized and amortized over 240 months.  Amortization expense was $576 for 2010 and 2009, respectively.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued

Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are assessed for recoverability on an ongoing basis as impairment indicators arise.  In evaluating the fair value and future benefits of long-lived assets, their carrying value would be reduced by the excess, if any, of the long-lived asset over management’s estimate of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows of the related long-lived asset.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized net of discounts, rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments, and estimated returns and upon transfer of title and risk to the customer which occurs at shipping (F.O.B. terms). Upon shipment, the Company has no further performance obligations and collection is reasonably assured as the majority of sales are paid for prior to shipping.

Advertising costs

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred.  Advertising expense was $7,169 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping costs of $18,195 and $39,703 are included in cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Handling costs of $33,469 and $52,253 are included in general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period of the grant). Compensation expense is recognized based on the estimated grant date fair value method using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company did not issue any stock options during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expenses are expected to be settled in the Company’s income tax return.  Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes.  Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  The Company has incurred net operating losses for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes.  Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Loss Per Common Share

Basic and diluted loss per common share are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Potential common shares used in computing diluted earnings per share related to stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible debt which, if exercised, would have an anti- dilutive effect on earnings per share, and therefore have not been included.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For financial instruments including cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, short-term debt, accounts payable and accrued expenses, it was assumed that the carrying values approximated fair value because of their short-term maturities. The fair value of long-term debt issued during the debt restructuring in November 2009 is calculated, applying a discount for the value of preferred stock issued in connection with this debt.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial statement.  These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expenses as incurred.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances to conform to the current year’s presentation.
 
2.  GOING CONCERN

The Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities, and upon additional financing.  Management believes they can raise the appropriate funds needed to support their business plan and develop an operating, cash flow positive company.

However the Company has working capital deficits, significant debt outstanding, incurred substantial net losses for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and has accumulated a deficit of approximately $73 million at December 31, 2010. The Company has not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund its ongoing operations. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support its operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

3.  CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK

The Company maintains cash balances in several financial institutions which currently are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Balances in these accounts may, at times, exceed the federally insured limits.

The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to customers and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.

7.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
Certain financial assets and liabilities are accounted for at fair value, which is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
 
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies.
 
Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value from the perspective of a market participant.
 
The following table represents the fair value hierarchy for those financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2010 and 2009:

Private Placement of Units and Debt Restructure
 
On November 10, 2009, Inergetics, Inc. (the “Company”), along with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Millennium Biotechnologies, Inc. (the “Subsidiary”), raised $1,382,050 from the sale of 13.8205 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of a Senior Secured 12% thirty month $100,000 Note (a “Unit Note”) and 100 shares of the Company’s Series F convertible preferred stock (the “Series F Preferred”) in a private placement ( the “Private Placement”). It also converted a total of approximately $3,220,000 of outstanding debt into an aggregate of 32.2 Units. The issuance of these securities was part of the Company’s restructuring plan, and the securities were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  As a result of this transaction, the Company has recognized a loss on debt extinguishment based on the fair value of the incremental Series F Preferred shares on a converted basis to common shares totaling approximately $3.9 mil.
 
The Unit Notes have a term of 30 months and bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum. Installments of principal and interest will commence on the first business day of the calendar quarter following 18 months from November 10, 2009 and quarterly thereafter on the first business day of each calendar quarter in fixed payments in the amount of $25,372 each until the maturity date, on which date any remaining principal and interest shall be due and payable in full. The Unit Notes are guaranteed by the Subsidiary and secured by a first lien and security interest in all of the assets of the Company and the Subsidiary.

9.  INCOME TAX

The Company has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company does not believe it has any tax positions that should not be recognized under FASB ASC 740-10.

The reconciliation of the effective income tax rate to the Federal statutory rate is as follows:

Federal Income Tax Rate
    (34.0 )%
State Income Tax, Net of Federal Benefit
    (5.94 )%
Effective Income Tax Rate
    (39.94 )%
Effect on valuation allowance
    39.94 %
Effective Income Tax Rate
    0.0 %

As of December 31, 2010, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $54,600,000 that can be utilized to offset future taxable income for Federal income tax purposes through 2029. Net operating loss carry forwards expire starting in 2024 through 2029.  Utilization of these net loss carry forwards is subject to the limitations of Internal Revenue Code Section 382.  Because of the current uncertainty of realizing the benefit of the tax carry forward, a valuation allowance equal to the tax benefit for deferred taxes has been established.

INCOME TAX, (Continued)

 Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequence of such temporary differences at the enacted tax rate expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. Because of the current uncertainty of realizing the benefit of the tax carry forward, a valuation allowance equal to the tax benefit for deferred taxes has been established. The full realization of the tax benefit associated with the carry forward depends predominantly upon the Company's ability to generate taxable income during the carry forward period.

In October 2001 the Company entered into a lease for 4,558 square feet of office space located in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. In October 2007 the Company extended its lease commitment for an additional 5 years commencing in December 2007, with an annual right to renew or cancel.  The terms of the lease provide for a rental fee of $10,635 per month, plus an allocated portion of certain operating expenses.  The lease is personally guaranteed by the Company’s former Chairman of the Board of Directors and former Chief Executive Officer Jerry E. Swon. In December 2007 the Company sublet a portion of the premises to a sub-tenant (“Sub-tenant 1”). Under the terms of the sub-lease, as amended, Sub-tenant 1 pays a rent of $4,000 per month.  Sub-tenant 1 ended its sublease on August 2009 and a second sub-tenant (“Sub-tenant 2”) took over the sublease.  Sub-tenant 2 subleased the space for $7,000 per month from August 2009 to present. In December 2009, the Company relocated its operations to a new facility in Paramus, New Jersey, and entered into a three-year lease for 1,724 square feet of office space, at a monthly rent of $2,299 plus utilities. To reduce the carrying cost of the Basking Ridge, NJ lease, the Company negotiated an informal agreement with a third sub-tenant (“Sub-tenant 3”) who began occupying these facilities in April 2010, along with the above Sub-tenant 2, paying approximately $6,440 per month.

14.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In May 2009, the current holders of an aggregate of $2,700,000 principal amount of senior debt secured by the assets of the Company (“Senior Secured Notes”) threatened foreclose on the Senior Secured Notes as a result of the Company’s default under the terms of the Senior Secured Notes.  The perfected first lien and security interest securing the Senior Secured Notes were superior to all other liens, claims, judgments and other security interests in the Company.   In May, 2009, a group of three investors, including Ken Sadowsky, a director of the Company, Leon Frenkel and Seahorse Enterprises (collectively, the “Creditor Investors”), purchased all of the Senior Secured Notes. By purchasing the Notes, the Creditor Investors relieved the Company of the difficulties associated with the previous holders of the Senior Secured Notes and the threat of immediate foreclosure.  Also, the Creditor Investors provided an additional $924,000 in financing to the Company, enabling the Company to fund the manufacturing and production of products to fulfill outstanding key customer purchase orders.   In November 2009, the Creditor Investors converted all of the above debt into 32.2 Units in the Private Placement. The E Preferred converted into  shares of Common Stock on March 15, 2010. In June 2010, Ken Sadowsky and Seahorse Enterprises converted their unit notes into common stock which resulted in a gain of $281,628. The gain has been included in additional paid in capital.

As part of the debt restructuring discussed in “ Note 8., in November 2009, we granted management an aggregate of 15,500 shares of E Preferred (the “Performance Shares”), which represented such number of E Preferred that are convertible into common stock equal to 10% of the fully diluted common shares following December 15, 2009, the final closing date (the “Final Closing Date”) of the Private Placement.  Pursuant to these management grants, Mark C. Mirken received 12,150 shares of E Preferred, Frank Guarino received 1,500 shares of E Preferred and Carl Germano received 1,500 shares of E Preferred.  All of the foregoing shares of E Preferred automatically converted into shares of Common Stock on March 15, 2010 at the rate of 10,000 shares of Common Stock for each share of E Preferred.  In the event that the gross revenue of our subsidiary, Millennium Biotechnologies, Inc., for the 13 month period immediately following the Final Closing Date (the “Target Period”) is less than $15 million (the “Target Revenue”), the number of Performance Shares shall be reduced by 10% for each $1 million under the Target Revenue and such number of reduced Performance Shares shall be issue to the purchasers of the Units in the Private Placement based upon the percentage of Units purchased by each such purchaser.  The Target Period shall commence when we and/or our subsidiary have received at least $1,000,000 in working capital from any sources including from the net proceeds of the Private Placement.  The right to so reduce and reallocate any portion of the Performance Shares is dependent on the Target Period commencing within 60 days of the Final Closing Date.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Performance Shares shall not be reduced by more than 50% of the total Performance Shares issued.  In November, 2010 all of the shares were returned back to the Compnay. There remains a liability of $248,000 as of December 31, 2010.

During 2009, we also issued restricted stock awards to certain officers and directors, as follows:

Carl Germano was issued 750,000 common shares pursuant to a royalty waiver issued in 2008, and 300,000 common shares for special services performed.

15.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance revising certain disclosure requirements concerning fair value measurements. The guidance requires an entity to disclose separately significant transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and to disclose the reasons for such transfers. It also requires the presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements within Level 3, on a gross basis rather than a net basis. These new disclosure requirements were effective for the Company beginning with its first fiscal quarter of 2010, except for the additional disclosure of Level 3 activity, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company did not have any such transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the full impact of this guidance, but does not expect it to have a material impact on the disclosures in its consolidated financial statements in future filings.
 
In October 2009, new revenue recognition guidance was issued regarding arrangements with multiple deliverables. The new guidance permits companies to recognize revenue from certain deliverables earlier than previously permitted, if certain criteria are met. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
16. MAJOR VENDORS AND CUSTOMERS

The Company had three customers that comprised approximately 88% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The largest customer comprised 43% of revenue, the second largest customer comprised 35% of revenue and the third customer comprised 10% of revenue.

For the sourcing of raw materials, procurement of inherent specialty ingredients, manufacture of bulk product; quality control and testing; and contact research assistance, the Company has retained the services of one vendor.
