With the consummation of the acquisition of iSatori, Inc. (“iSatori”) on October 1, 2015, the Company added several brands to its product portfolio, including iSatori (www.isatori.com), BioGenetic Laboratories, and Energize (together, “iSatori Products”).  The NDS Products are distributed principally through franchised General Nutrition Centers, Inc.

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 26, 2005. In October 2008, the Company acquired the assets of NDS Nutritional Products, Inc., a Nebraska corporation, and moved those assets into its wholly owned subsidiary NDS Nutrition Products, Inc., a Florida corporation (“NDS”).  The Company’s NDS Products are sold through NDS and the iSatori Products are sold through iSatori, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which the Company acquired in September 2015.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying interim condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation are included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. While management of the Company believes the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited condensed consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
  
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Significant accounting policies are as follows: 
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and NDS Nutrition Products, Inc.  Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated condensed financial statements.
 

 
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and (iii) the reported amount of net sales and expenses recognized during the periods presented. Adjustments made with respect to the use of estimates often relate to improved information not previously available. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of financial statements; accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates.
  
These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting period.  Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
  
 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company had goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets with a carrying value of $4,422,448 and $220,000, respectively, as of the quarter ended March 31, 2017. In accordance with ASC Topic 350 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, in lieu of amortizing such amounts the Company assesses the carrying value of such intangible assets for impairment on a periodic basis and records an impairment charge if the carrying value of such intangible assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, which in this case is the Company. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2016, which did not indicate the existence of an impairment at that time.  While the fiscal year-to-date financial performance have not met our expectations, and the enterprise value of the Company based on current price of the stock the Company may fluctuate at or near the recorded levels of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, Management does not consider these resultsto be a triggering event requiring the performance of an interim goodwill impairment test. The Company will continue to monitor its operating results for indicators of impairment and perform additional tests as necessary. The Company's fiscal 2017 annual impairment test will be performed as of December 31, 2017, which could result in an impairment charge to goodwill depending on the Company’s finalized forecast for fiscal 2018 and other market conditions
 
Customer Concentration
 
Total sales to GNC during the period ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were approximately $5,220,000 and $6,244,000, respectively representing 83% and 79% of total revenue respectively. Accounts receivable attributable to GNC as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were approximately $3,585,000 and $2,328,000, respectively representing 88% and 83% of the Company's total accounts receivable balance, respectively.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. Under ASU 2014-09, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The FASB has recently issued ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-11, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2016-20, and ASU 2017-05, all of which clarify certain implementation guidance within ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. The standard can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up transition method). The Company is currently in the process of analyzing the information necessary to determine the impact of adopting this new guidance on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. This update will require the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. For operating leases, the asset and liability will be expensed over the lease term on a straight-line basis, with all cash flows included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability will be recognized separately from the amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of comprehensive income and the repayment of the principal portion of the lease liability will be classified as a financing activity while the interest component will be included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, leases will be recognized and measured at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its financial statements and related disclosures.
 
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

NOTE 7 - NET INCOME / (LOSS) PER SHARE
 
Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share also includes the weighted average number of outstanding warrants and options in the denominator. In the event of a loss, the diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share. Because of the net loss, the weighted average number of diluted shares of common stock outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2017 did not include 10,441,469 shares of common stock, 60,620 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding common stock purchase warrants, and 969,924 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options to purchase common stock due to its anti-dilutive effect. The following table represents the computation of basic and diluted income and (losses) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

    Net income / (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. Had the Company posted positive net income for the three months ended March 31, 2017, diluted weighted average common shares outstanding would have included 60,620 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding common stock purchase warrants and 969,924 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options to purchase common stock.

During the period ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized compensation expense of $11,584 and $15,166, respectively, to account the fair value of stock options that vested.
 
There was no intrinsic value for all the outstanding options at March 31, 2017 since the exercise price of these options were greater than the March 31, 2017 closing stock price of $0.61 per share. Future unamortized compensation expense on the unvested outstanding options at March 31, 2017 amounted to approximately $86,000, which will be recognized through fiscal 2019.
 
 
Warrants
 
The Company values all warrants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  Critical assumptions for the Black-Scholes option-pricing model include the market value of the stock price at the time of issuance, the risk-free interest rate corresponding to the term of the warrant, the volatility of the Company’s stock price, dividend yield on the common stock, as well as the exercise price and term of the warrant.  The Black Scholes option-pricing model was the best determinable value of the warrants that the Company “knew up front” when issuing the warrants in accordance with Topic 505. Other than as expressly noted below, the warrants are not subject to any form of vesting schedule and, therefore, are exercisable by the holders anytime at their discretion during the life of the warrant.  No discounts were applied to the valuation determined by the Black-Scholes option-pricing model; provided, however, that in determining volatility the Company utilized the lesser of the 90-day volatility as reported by Bloomberg or other such nationally recognized provider of financial markets data and 40.0%.  
  
As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 60,620 warrants to purchase common stock of the Company were issued and outstanding, additional information about which is included in the following table:

There was no intrinsic value for all the outstanding warrants at March 31, 2017 since the exercise price of these warrants was greater than the March 31, 2017 closing stock price of $0.61 per share.
 
Private Placements, Other Issuances and Cancellations
 
The Company periodically issues shares of its common stock, as well as options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock to investors in connection with private placement transactions, and to advisors, consultants and employees for the fair value of services rendered. Absent an arm’s length transaction with an independent third-party, the value of any such issued shares is based on the trading value of the stock at the date on which such transactions or agreements are consummated. The Company expenses the fair value of all such issuances in the period incurred, with the exception of options that are subject to vesting which are expensed ratably on a monthly basis over the life of the vesting period. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company issued 28,689 shares of common stock subscribed for services rendered by directors that elected to take their board fees in shares of common stock in lieu of cash payment and recorded an expense of $17,500 for the fair value of services rendered.
 
 NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES

No federal tax provision has been provided for the period ended March 31, 2017 due to the loss incurred during such periods.  A provision for $75,000 was provided for the period ended March 31, 2016 based on the Company’s net income for the period and projected annual effective tax rate.
 
 The Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $22,400,000 for federal purposes available to offset future taxable income through 2036 and 2.298,000 for State of Colorado purposes which expire in various years through 2036, The net losses have resulted in a net operating loss tax benefit of $7,666,000 as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The Company has provided a valuation reserve of $7,014,000 against the full amount of the net operating loss benefit, because in the opinion of management the benefits from net operating losses carried forward may be impaired or limited on certain circumstances. Events which may cause limitations in the amount of net operating losses that the Company may utilize in any one year include, but are not limited to, limitations imposed under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, from change of more than 50% over a three-year period. The impact of any limitations that may be imposed for future issuances of equity securities, including issuances with respect to acquisitions have not been determined.
 
The current accounting literature requires the consideration of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Significant management judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In evaluating the ability to recover its deferred tax assets, the Company considered available positive and negative evidence, including its past historical earnings and its forecast of future taxable income including the reversal of temporary differences.  At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company continues to maintain the deferred tax asset of $689,000.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains various “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, regarding future events or the future financial performance of the Company that involve risks and uncertainties. Certain statements included in this Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements related to anticipated cash flow sources and uses, and words including but not limited to “anticipates”, “believes”, “plans”, “expects”, “future” and similar statements or expressions, identify forward looking statements. Any forward-looking statements herein are subject to certain risks and uncertainties in the Company’s business, including but not limited to, reliance on key customers and competition in its markets, market demand, product performance, technological developments, maintenance of relationships with key suppliers, difficulties of hiring or retaining key personnel and any changes in current accounting rules, all of which may be beyond the control of the Company. The Company adopted at management’s discretion, the most conservative recognition of revenue based on the most astringent guidelines of the SEC. Management will elect additional changes to revenue recognition to comply with the most conservative SEC recognition on a forward going accrual basis as the model is replicated with other similar markets. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth therein.
  
Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors and risks that could affect our results and achievements and cause them to materially differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements include those identified in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as well as other factors that we are currently unable to identify or quantify, but that may exist in the future.
 
In addition, the foregoing factors may affect generally our business, results of operations and financial position. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statement was made. We do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Results of Operations
 
Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016
 
 Net Sales.  Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased 29.1% to $5,589,354 as compared to $7,882,953 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 for the Company’s NDS Nutrition division decreased 21.6% to $4,128,392 as compared to $5,263,418 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 for the Company’s NDS Nutrition division included a one-time non-recurring adjustment of $700,000 related to a margin support credit memorandum entered into between the Company and GNC in April 2017. Excluding the one-time non-recurring adjustment, revenue for the Company’s NDS Nutrition division decreased 8.3% to $4,828,392 as compared to $5,263,418 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decline was principally related to lower average inventory levels and tighter credit at the store level.
 
Revenue attributable to the Company’s iSatori operating division, was $1,460,962 during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to $2,619,535 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in total revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the comparable period last year is principally attributable to normal variances in product introduction cycles which resulted in a fewer number of new product introductions during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to the comparable period in 2016. Management anticipates that it will benefit from new product introductions beginning in the quarter ending June 30, 2017, which, although no assurances can be given, should result in increased revenues in subsequent reporting periods compared to prior reporting periods. 
 
 
 
-11-
 
The Company continually reformulates and introduces new products, as well as seeks to increase both the number of stores and number of approved products that can be sold within the GNC franchise system that comprise its domestic and international distribution footprint and, while no assurances can be given, anticipates that such efforts together with anticipated sales growth attributable to iSatori Products will continue to drive future revenue growth.  In addition, management believes that GNC’s initiative to sell corporate owned stores to franchisees will also drive revenue growth. While currently not a material component of revenue, management anticipates that continued international expansion within the GNC franchise system, as well as the introduction of new NDS Products and iSatori Products will also contribute to future growth.
 
 Cost of Goods Sold.  Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased to $3,668,790 as compared to $4,264,691 for the three months ended March 31, 2016.  The decrease during the three-month period is principally attributable to lower sales in the period.
 
General and Administrative Expense.   General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased to $1,160,069 as compared to $1,378,859 for the three months ended March 31, 2016.  The decrease in general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 is principally attributable to ongoing cost reduction initiatives as well as the continued integration efforts at the iSatori division which resulted in a lower headcount.
  
Selling and Marketing Expense.  Selling and marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased to $947,386 as compared to $1,196,629 for the three months ended March 31, 2016.  The decrease in selling and marketing expense for the three and month periods ended March 31, 2016 is principally the result of budgetary controls and efficiencies gained through the acquisition of iSatori.
 
Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased to $119,338 as compared to $124,756 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. 
 
Net Income/(Loss).  We generated a net loss of $332,890 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 as compared to a net income of $814,154 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 compared to the comparable period last year is principally attributable the $700,000 one-time non-recurring credit memo, absent which the Company would have posted a net income of $367,110 for the three month period ended March 31, 2017. In addition to the foregoing, during the period ended March 31, 2017 the iSatori division recorded a net loss of $115,727 as compared to net income to $159,454 for the iSatori division for the comparable quarter last year.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The Company has historically financed its operations primarily through equity and debt financings, and more recently, cash flow from operations. The Company has also provided for its cash needs by issuing common stock, options and warrants for certain operating costs, including consulting and professional fees. The anticipated cash derived from operations and existing cash resources are expected to provide for the Company’s liquidity for the next 12 months.  
  
Cash Used in Operations. Our cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $22,573, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $1,203,040 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase is primarily attributable to variations in certain working capital accounts consistent with normal business practices and outcomes. Net working capital decreased to $3,210,950 as of the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to $3,982,042 as of March 31, 2016.
 
Cash Provided by/(Used in) Investing Activities.  Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $0 as compared to $7,745 used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016.  
 
Cash Used in Financing Activities.   Our cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $137,320, as compared to $385,834 cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The primary difference was that we drew down $520,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 from our existing line of credit with U.S. Bank and made zero draw downs on the line of credit during the quarter ended March 31, 2017.  We expect to pay back all amounts borrowed under the line of credit, as well as any outstanding principal under the Company’s existing term loan with U.S. Bank as soon as practicable.   
  
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
 
The Company had goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets with a carrying value of $4,422,448 and $220,000, respectively, as of the quarter ended March 31, 2017. In accordance with ASC Topic 350 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, in lieu of amortizing such amounts the Company assesses the carrying value of such intangible assets for impairment on a periodic basis and records an impairment charge if the carrying value of such intangible assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, which in this case is the Company. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2016, which did not indicate the existence of an impairment at that time.  While the fiscal year-to-date financial performance have not met our expectations, and the enterprise value of the Company based on current price of the stock the Company may fluctuate at or near the recorded levels of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, Management does not consider these results to be a triggering event requiring the performance of an interim goodwill impairment test. The Company will continue to monitor its operating results for indicators of impairment and perform additional tests as necessary. The Company's fiscal 2017 annual impairment test will be performed as of December 31, 2017, which could result in an impairment charge to goodwill depending on the Company’s finalized forecast for fiscal 2018 and other market conditions.

In particular, please read our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Annual Report on Form 10-K, and Current Reports on Form 8-K that we file from time to time. You may obtain copies of these reports directly from us or from the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F. Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549, and you may obtain information about obtaining access to the Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Our business is currently conducted principally in the United States. As a result, our financial results are not affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or economic conditions in foreign markets. We do not engage in hedging transactions to reduce our exposure to changes in currency exchange rates, although as the geographical scope of our business broadens, we may do so in the future.
 
Our exposure to risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investments in short-term financial instruments. Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry some interest rate risk. The fair value of fixed rate securities may fall due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Partly as a result of this, our future interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that have fallen in estimated fair value due to changes in interest rates. However, as substantially all of our cash equivalents consist of bank deposits and short-term money market instruments, we do not expect any material change with respect to our net income as a result of an interest rate change.
 
We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet their objectives. As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
   
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control-Integrated Framework published by the COSO to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2017. This Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Quarterly Report. There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
 
(b)             Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could materially affect, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2017. There have not been any significant changes in the Company's critical accounting policies identified since the Company filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2016.

PART II
 
OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
On December 31, 2014, various plaintiffs, individually and on behalf of a purported nationwide and sub-class of purchasers, filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, captioned Ryan et al. v. Gencor Nutrients, Inc. et al., Case No.: 4:14-CV-05682. The lawsuit includes claims made against the manufacturer and various producers and sellers of products containing a nutritional supplement known as Testofen, which is manufactured and sold by Gencor Nutrients, Inc. (“Gencor”). Specifically, the Ryan plaintiffs allege that various defendants have manufactured, marketed and/or sold Testofen, or nutritional supplements containing Testofen, and in doing so represented to the public that Testofen had been clinically proven to increase free testosterone levels. According to the plaintiffs, those claims are false and/or not statistically proven. Plaintiffs seek relief under violations of the Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act, breach of express and implied warranties, and violations of unfair trade practices in violation of California, Pennsylvania, and Arizona law. NDS utilizes Testofen in a limited number of nutritional supplements it manufactures and sells pursuant to a license agreement with Gencor.
 
On February 19, 2015 this matter was transferred to the Central District of California to the Honorable Manuel Real.  Judge Real had previously issued an order dismissing a previously filed but similar lawsuit that had been filed by the same lawyer who represents the plaintiffs in the Ryan matter.  The United States Court of Appeals recently reversed part of the dismissal issued by Judge Real and remanded the case back down to the district court for further proceedings.  As a result, the parties in the Ryan matter recently issued a joint status report and that matter is again active. 
 
On February 28, 2017, Kevin Fahey, through his attorney, and on behalf of himself and the citizens of the District of Columbia, file a Complaint in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia Civil Division captioned Fahey vs. BioGenetic Laboratories, Inc, et al, case No.2017 CA 001240.  The Complaint was filed against BioGenetics, a division of the Company, and various General Nutrition Center (“GNC”) entities. Fahey asserts in his Complaint that the labeling and marketing materials of the product HCG Activator are fraudulent, false and misleading with respect to certain weight loss and hunger suppression claims.  Fahey claims these actions violate the District of Columbia Consumer Protection Procedures Act Section 28-3901 et seq., and has asked the court for direct treble damages, punitive damages, disgorgement of profits, attorneys’ fees and injunctive relief. The parties have agreed in principle to a mutually agreeable resolution and expect this lawsuit to be dismissed, with prejudice in the near future. The proposed resolution is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company, it financial condition or results from operations.
 
We are currently not involved in any litigation except noted above that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Other than described above, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of the Company’s or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
