PART I

Item 1. Business

Background

Entia Biosciences, Inc. (“Entia”) develops patented, pharmaceutical-grade ~~organic~~ compounds, including a foundational compound called ErgoD2®. We believe that ErgoD2 improves iron homeostasis and mitigates iron-related disorders presenting in anemia, chronic kidney disease and select neurodegenerative diseases. Our goal is to clinically validate and commercialize ErgoD2 through the ~~medical~~OTC ~~food~~supplement channels and ~~OTC~~possibly ~~supplement~~others, ~~channels~~such as medical foods. We also develop and market health-related nutraceuticals and manufacture certain cosmeceuticals.

We have licensed a patent that gives us the exclusive worldwide rights to ~~the~~certain methods for identifying and obtaining compounds, such as ErgoD2, capable of modulating the genetic transporter for L-ergothioneine (“Ergo”). Ergo is a powerful amino acid that is essential to life. Ergo cannot be synthesized by mammals but is acquired exclusively from the diet and, most importantly, must be ~~carried~~delivered by this unique and specific ergothioneine transporter (human gene symbol SLC22A4) to cells throughout the body. We have also licensed the exclusive rights to UV light enrichment technology for ergocalciferol, the food-based version of vitamin D2. Vitamin D deficiency, has been linked to a variety of serious medical conditions. We believe that both of our ~~patent~~licensed ~~licenses~~patents and patents pending, along with several other elements of our intellectual property portfolio that address a variety of diseases, give us a competitive advantage in the use of ErgoD2 as a ~~medical~~dietary ~~food~~supplement, a nutraceutical and/or a cosmeceutical.

Since 2011, we have been conducting pre-clinical and clinical pilot studies evaluating proprietary ~~organic~~ compounds, such as ErgoD2, that contain elevated concentrations of these two nutrients and other important co-factors found in mushrooms. These and other research studies have confirmed significant transporter activity in anemia/diabetes, arthritis, alopecia areata (hair loss) and other serious non-communicable chronic conditions. These studies have also revealed significant observable improvements in symptoms and disease-associated biomarkers in patients with anemia/diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, and chronic kidney disease. We have also conducted several immunohistochemistry (“IHC”) studies that have confirmed significant ergothioneine transporter ("ETT") activity at the sites of rapidly dividing cells (macrophages and stem cells), suggesting that Ergo is genetically required to prevent/repair damage from free radicals and oxidative stress as well as to support the production/maintenance of healthy cells. All of these results suggest an important physiologic role for Ergo in chronic diseases, particularly iron-related disorders and auto-immune conditions that afflict millions of people worldwide.

We have filed patent applications on the use of ErgoD2 infor several therapeutic and non-therapeutic ~~applications~~uses and have commenced or will commence follow-on studies to confirm our positive initial clinical results in larger patient populations, with the objective of releasing our branded ~~medical~~products ~~foods~~ for the treatment of a variety of afflictions. We anticipate these afflictions to include chronic kidney disease, autism, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and psoriasis, to name a few. We plan to explore other important potential therapies as our funding allows. OTC-strength versions of these formulations and other consumer-oriented products for the general wellness and beauty markets are currently being offered online and through a limited number of resellers by our wholly owned subsidiary, Total Nutraceutical Solutions (“TNS”). In 2014, the Company signed its first national distribution agreement for GROH®, a boutique medical luxury line of hair and skin care products being distributed through professional high-end salons and day spas.

OTC-strength versions of these formulations and other consumer-oriented products for the general wellness and beauty markets have been offered by us online and through a limited number of resellers. In February of 2017, we entered a licensing agreement with an established beauty industry company, which plans on operating by the name “GROH Beauty Corp,” and under which license we granted certain exclusive worldwide rights to manufacture and distribute GROH beauty products. The License calls for a front-end license fee and royalties over a period of years, until the license is paid in full and thereby becomes an exclusive perpetual license of the GROH Beauty Corp. The License calls for and was accompanied by a separately executed agreement under which we are to manufacture and sell our ErgoD2 compound exclusively to the GROH Beauty Corp for its use in the cosmetic and beauty care markets. As this manufacturing agreement provides for price adjustments and is expected to run for a number of future years concurrent with the license, its positive value to us is inestimable at this time. Additionally, the License calls for a separate agreement with us through which our Chief Science and Technology Officer will provide limited consulting services to the Licensee.

Our Business

ErgoD2 is a proprietary pharmaceutical-grade ~~organic~~ compound created from whole foods that contain the micro-nutrients L-ergothioneine, an amino acid that ~~has~~responds to a dedicated transporter (SLC22A4) that is present in every human ~~being~~, and vitamin D2 that has been naturally enriched using our licensed, ~~patent~~patented technology. These genetically -required nutrients have ~~recently~~ been implicated by independent scientists in metabolic iron regulation and intracellular iron chelation/transportation, indicating their therapeutic potential. We believe that our ErgoD2 platform may play an essential role in achieving iron homeostasis in various disease states and will be the core of our innovative ~~medical~~product ~~food therapies~~offerings. Our clinical studies aim to evaluate the nutritional effects of ErgoD2 in iron homeostasis, red blood cell production, neuronal function, and the immune system. We hope to further prove that our ~~medical~~products ~~foods~~ containing ErgoD2 are applicable to and will aid in the nutritional management of diseases such as chronic kidney disease, autism, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis and others.

Table of Contents

Chronic kidney disease. During 2015, we ~~have~~undertook ~~undertaken~~ our first major clinical study focused on a particular disease – chronic kidney disease (“CKD”). In the United States alone, more than one in ten adults or approximately 25 million persons suffer from early to late-stage CKD. Most CKD patients only see a primary care physician and have limited access to therapy beyond suggested lifestyle modifications (dietary restrictions and iron supplementation). The prevalence of anemia is approximately 16% in CKD or four million people. In addition, more than 600,000 U.S. patients are being treated for end-stage renal disease by dialysis or kidney transplantation. We believe that our ~~medical~~products ~~food product~~ will become a widely used, cost-effective companion ~~therapy~~therapies in treating this disease, reducing mortality risks and improving quality of life. This combinational approach also seeks to reduce the amount of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents ("ESAs") and other expensive drugs needed for treatment, ~~dramatically~~possibly increasing the bottom line for dialysis providers that are subject to capped reimbursement rates. According to the National Kidney Foundation, about $68 billion was spent in treating CKD patients in 2013, not including prescription medications. Accordingly, we believe that CKD offers a significant opportunity for Entia.

Other diseases. Several additional market opportunities in which ErgoD2 may apply are available to Entia in the form of other diseases. For example, autism affects over three million individuals in the U.S. and tens of millions worldwide and U.S. government autism statistics suggest that prevalence rates have increased ten to 17 percent annually in recent years. As other examples, there are more than one million people living with Parkinson’s disease in the U.S. and another 300,000 with multiple sclerosis. In our opinion, ErgoD2 does not just apply in CKD, autism or Parkinson’s, but also potentially in a number of auto-immune conditions in which iron is a factor, including diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis (joints), psoriasis (skin/nails), and alopecia (hair).

Dietary Supplements

Definition. According to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), dietary supplements are products which are not pharmaceutical drugs, food additives like spices or preservatives, or conventional food, and which also meet any of these criteria:

1.	The product is intended to supplement a person's diet, despite it not being usable as a meal replacement.

2.	The product is or contains a vitamin, dietary element, herb used for herbalism or botanical used as a medicinal plant, amino acid, any substance which contributes to other food eaten, or any concentrate, metabolite, ingredient, extract, or combination of these things.

3.	The product is labeled as a dietary supplement.

In the United States, the FDA has different monitoring procedures for substances depending on whether they are presented as drugs, food additives, food, or dietary supplements. Dietary supplements are eaten or taken by mouth, and are regulated in United States law as a type of food rather than a type of drug. Like food and unlike drugs, no government approval is required to make or sell dietary supplements; the manufacturer checks the safety of dietary supplements but the government does not; and rather than requiring risk–benefit analysis to prove that the product can be sold like a drug, risk–benefit analysis is only used to petition that food or a dietary supplement is unsafe and should be removed from market.

Medical uses. The intended use of dietary supplements is to ensure that a person receives enough essential nutrients. Dietary supplements should not be used to treat any disease or as preventive healthcare. An exception to this recommendation is the appropriate use of vitamins. We believe that our dietary supplement offerings containing ErgoD2 will allow provision of appropriate amounts of essential nutrients, including L-ergothioneine and vitamin D2.

Medical Foods

We ~~intend~~continue to ~~integrate~~explore integrating into these existing market opportunities by leveraging the regulatory advantages contained in the Orphan Drug Act (21 U.S.C. 360ee (b) (3)) and the 1988 Orphan Drug Act Amendments related to medical foods. Medical foods are foods that are specially formulated and intended for the dietary management of a disease that has distinctive nutritional needs that cannot be met by normal diet alone. Unlike common OTC supplements for general wellness, which are not allowed to make claims of efficacy, medical foods are used under medical supervision to tackle nutritional deficiencies related to a specific medical condition or disease being treated. When used in conjunction with existing medical therapies, medical foods may also reduce required medication dosages and can be effective in preventing or reducing the associated side effects. Although medical foods are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) under the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act regulations 21 CFR 101.9(j) (8), they are not required to undergo premarket review or approval by the FDA. Additionally, they are exempted from the labeling requirements for health claims and nutrient content claims under the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990. Also, this significantly decreases the overall timing, investment, and risks typically associated with bringing a new pharmaceutical to market.

A medical food, as defined in the Orphan Drug Act, is "a food which is formulated to be consumed or administered enterally under the supervision of a physician and which is intended for the specific dietary management of a disease or condition for which distinctive nutritional requirements, based on recognized scientific principles, are established by medical evaluation." A food is subject to this exemption only if:

It is a specially formulated and processed product (as opposed to a naturally occurring foodstuff used in its natural state) for the partial or exclusive feeding of a patient by means of oral intake or enteral feeding by tube; It is intended for the dietary management of a patient who, because of therapeutic or chronic medical needs, has limited or impaired capacity to ingest, digest, absorb, or metabolize ordinary foodstuffs or certain nutrients, or who has other special medically determined nutrient requirements, the dietary management of which cannot be achieved by the modification of the normal diet alone; It provides nutritional support specifically modified for the management of the unique nutrient needs that result from the specific disease or condition, as determined by medical evaluation; It is intended to be used under medical supervision; and It is intended only for a patient receiving active and ongoing medical supervision wherein the patient requires medical care on a recurring basis for, among other things, instructions on the use of the medical food.

To bring our ErgoD2-based medical foods to market, we plan to clinically validate their efficacy through independent studies that will comprehensively evaluate disease-associated biomarkers and their relationship with markers of iron regulation, and assess the ability to improve quality of life and health. Our upcoming follow-on clinical studies will focus on neurodegenerative and auto-immune conditions, as funding allows.

ErgoD2

Our ErgoD2 formulations utilize organically cultivated specialty mushrooms available from a number of domestic and international suppliers. These mushroom-based products are a food and are generally regarded as safe ("GRAS"). Our market and scientific research has identified mushroom species and suppliers to provide the superior nutritional profiles for our ErgoD2 formulations. We systematically test our raw and finished ingredients to ensure quality control and confirm that these nutritional profiles are maintained.

ErgoD2

Our ErgoD2 formulations utilize specialty mushrooms available from a number of domestic and international suppliers. These mushrooms are a food and are generally regarded as safe ("GRAS"). Our market and scientific research has identified mushroom species and suppliers to provide the superior nutritional profiles for our ErgoD2 formulations. We systematically test our raw and finished ingredients to ensure quality control and confirm that these nutritional profiles are maintained.

The mushroom fruit bodies are dried, milled into powder, blended, and then enhanced using a patented UV light enrichment process that naturally increases vitamin D2 content by over 2,000% within seconds. We have also developed extraction methods that separate the Ergo and other water-soluble cofactors from the D2, chitin-glucans and other solids contained in the UV-enriched powder. These functional ingredients can then be encapsulated or used in medical foods and other branded products. Our manufacturing processes for ErgoD2 are FDA certified and are performed in-house by Entia technicians. We intend to expand our manufacturing capacity and efficiency as funding allows, as well as depending upon contract manufacturing, as necessary.

Functional Ingredients

L-ergothioneine (Ergo) is a naturally occurring amino acid and master antioxidant that mammals are incapable of producing. Acquired exclusively from the diet, Ergo is ~~carried~~delivered to cells throughout the body by a unique and specific genetic transporter (human gene symbol SLC22A4). Research studies and peer-reviewed articles have reported that Ergo has the ability to act as a chelator and/or regulator for iron and is a potent cytoprotectant that is required for normal cell physiology and DNA protection from free radicals.

Working with Lifespan Biosciences in 2011 and 2012, we identified an antibody that detects Ergo transporter activity in both human and animal tissues using immunohistochemistry (IHC). Our research has confirmed high concentrations of the Ergo transporter in a number of serious non-communicable chronic conditions and at the sites of rapidly dividing cells (macrophages and stem cells) suggesting the body genetically ~~requires~~employs Ergo to prevent and/or repair damage from inflammation and free radicals and to support the production and maintenance of healthy cells.

Vitamin D is an essential antioxidant that is frequently called the “sunshine vitamin.” Vitamin D can be manufactured in mammals through skin exposure to sunlight or ingested from the diet. Like Ergo, sufficient levels of vitamin D are vital to upkeep of a strong immune system and cell proliferation and differentiation. Deficiency has been linked to various health problems including CKD, hair loss, obesity, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, inflammatory illnesses, depression, multiple sclerosis, and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Vitamin D is primarily available in two active forms, ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3), and is an important food additive currently used in a variety of fortified food products including milk, margarine, cereal, orange juice, and vitamin supplements. Vitamin D2 is plant-based and produced in naturally high concentrations within mushrooms. Ingestible forms of vitamin D3 are typically non-vegan and extracted from animal lanolin or chemically synthesized. Entia’s patented UV light enrichment technology naturally increases the D2 content in mushrooms by more than 2000% within seconds.

Our Products

We have been developing and studying the application of our ErgoD2 platform technology and functional ingredients in medical foods and other consumer health and wellness brands that address significant, high dollar-value market opportunities. Although our primary focus will be on medical foods, we have developed and market both nutraceuticals (supplements) and cosmeceuticals.

Our Products

We have been developing and studying the application of our ErgoD2 platform technology and functional ingredients in medical foods and other consumer health and wellness brands that address significant, high dollar-value market opportunities. Although our initial focus will be on dietary supplements, we have developed and marketed both nutraceuticals (supplements) and cosmeceuticals, and continue to explore introduction of products in the medical foods category.

Patent License and Acquisition Agreements

In March 2010, Entia acquired from the University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany, an exclusive license to the patent application entitled; “Identification of Ergothioneine Transporter and Therapeutic Uses Thereof.” Patent application No. PCT/EP 2005/005613 entitled; “Identification of Ergothioneine Transporter and Therapeutic Uses Thereof.” Filed on May 24, 2005, U.S. Patent Application No. 11/569,451 filed on June 25, 2007. On March 9, 2010 Entia acquired from the University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany, an exclusive license agreement to this patent application. Versions of this patent were issued in the Nation of Canada in 2012, and in the U.S. and Israel in 2013.

In June 2010, Entia acquired from The Penn State Research Foundation (PSRF) an exclusive license to U.S. patent application No. 12/386,810 entitled “Methods of Use and Rapid Generation of Vitamin D2 from Mushrooms and Fungi Using Pulsed UV-light.” filed on April 23, 2009 and based on 61/047,268 entitled “Methods and Compositions for Improving the Nutritional Content of Mushrooms and Fungi” filed April 23, 2008.

Production, Distribution and Marketing

In 2012, Entia began to integrate the enrichment, encapsulation and bottling process of its supplement products into its manufacturing, fulfillment and ~~operation~~operations center located in Sherwood, Oregon. During 2013, we expanded our production capabilities to include the manufacturing & bottling process related to our GROH-branded soaps, lotions and conditioners, since licensed to a third party.

We utilize several methods of marketing and distribution for our branded products. Consumer products are and will continue to be marketed ~~direct~~directly to the consumer, primarily through the internet utilizing a variety of e-commerce channels, such as, direct email marketing, social media outlets and e-commerce sites like ~~Totalnutraceutical.com and~~ Amazon.com. Our GROH line of products are primarily marketed to reseller networks made up of high-end salons and day spas. We have also engaged several distribution partners to accelerate the launch of the products within the salon and spa industry.

Competitive Environment

The ~~medical foods,~~ dietary supplements and ~~beauty~~medical foods markets are highly competitive, with many well-known and established suppliers. ~~The~~These ~~biotechnology~~industries ~~industry~~are is subject to rapid change~~. New~~ ~~products~~with ~~are~~new ~~constantly~~products frequently being introduced tointo the market. Our ability to remain competitive depends on our ability to develop and manufacture new products in a timely and cost effective manner, to accurately predict market transitions, and to effectively market our products. Our future financial results will depend to a great extent on the successful introduction of ~~several~~ new products. We cannot be certain that we will be successful in selecting, developing, contract manufacturing and marketing new products.

The success of new product introductions depends on various factors, including, but not limited to the following:

· proper new selection and product development;

availability of raw materials;

pricing of raw materials;

timely delivery of new products;

regulatory allowance of the products; and

· appropriate pricing and customer acceptance of new products

Table of Contents

We face challenges in developing new products, primarily those of funding development costs and diversion of management time. On a regular basis, we evaluate opportunities to develop new products through product line extensions and product modifications. There is no assurance that we will successfully develop product line extensions or integrate newly developed products into our business. In addition, there are no assurances that newly developed products will contribute favorably to our operations and financial condition. Our failure to develop and introduce new products on a timely basis could adversely affect our future operating results.

Industry

Our markets, particularly the nutritional supplements and beauty industries are intensely competitive.

~~Nutritional~~The dietary supplements, nutritional supplements (nutraceuticals) -and ~~includes~~medical foods industries include companies that manufacture and distribute products which are generally intended to enhance the body's performance as well as to enhance well-being. Nutritional supplements include vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements, herbs, botanicals and compounds derived therefrom. Opportunities in the nutritional supplements industry were enhanced by the enactment of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 ("DSHEA"). Under DSHEA, vendors of dietary supplements are now able to educate consumers regarding the effects of certain component ingredients. However, they are subject to many existing and proposed new regulations regarding labeling and advertising of such products. See “Government Regulation” below.

Competition

~~Nutritional~~Supplements ~~supplements~~ industry. The dietary and nutritional supplements industry (~~which~~ includes ~~nutraceutical~~nutraceuticals and medical foods) is quite fragmented, with many small and large companies participating. The fragmented nature of the industry offers scope for mergers, acquisitions and new companies to rise to leadership positions provided they bring new innovative products to the market. The major players in the global dietary and nutritional supplements industry include Nestlé, Atrium Innovations, Glanbia Plc, NBTY Inc., ~~and~~ Herbalife Ltd and others.

These companies market and distribute their products through various channels including: retail, multi-level marketing, e-commerce, and direct to consumer marketing (direct mail, TVtelevision & ~~Radio~~radio infomercials, and email).

The market is highly sensitive to the introduction of new products and management has positioned Entia as an emerging dietary and nutraceuticals company with collaborative research projects at major universities, including but not limited to Massachusetts General Hospital, Pennsylvania State University, and the University of Cologne. This position has allowed us to license and build upon a significant portfolio of intellectual property, which is being utilized to secure proprietary nature of our manufacturing process and our intended new products applications. Furthermore, we will align our products, when advantageous, to take advantage the ~~protection~~rules of and protections granted under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (“DSHEA”), as well as the Orphan Drug Act, which allows for the development of medical foods to ~~treat~~aid in dietary conditions related to specific disease conditions. This approach will aid us in introducing specific, innovative ~~medical foods~~ products ~~rapidly~~ to market.

Beauty industry. The beauty industry is characterized by the skin care, makeup, fragrance and hair care products and undergoes vigorous competition throughout the world. Brand recognition, quality, performance and price have a significant impact on consumers’ choices among competing products and brands. Advertising, promotion, merchandising, the pace and timing of new product introductions, line extensions and the quality of in-store demonstrations also have a significant impact on consumers’ buying decisions.

The GROH brand is a boutique medical luxury line which seeks to align itself within the ‘Beauty of Wellness’ category of professional products. The Beauty of Wellness category is becoming more attractive to high-end salons and day spas seeking to increase revenue growth through retail product offerings without having to replace their existing hair and skincare products lines. Consumers within this category are seeking to support their healthy lifestyle changes and are seeking products that are natural and effective but free of dyes, chemicals, parabens, and the like. We compete against a number of companies, some of which have substantially greater resources than we do.

Our principal competitors consist of large, well-known, multinational manufacturers and marketers of skin care, makeup, fragrance and hair care products, most of which market and sell their products under multiple brand names. They include, among others, L’Oreal S.A.; Shiseido Company, Ltd.; LVMH Moët Hennessey Louis Vuitton; Coty, Inc.; The Procter & Gamble Company; and Avon Products, Inc. We also face competition from a number of independent brands, as well as some retailers that have developed their own beauty brands.

Government Regulation

~~The~~Dietary ~~term “medical food” means a food which is formulated to be consumed or administered under the supervision of a physician~~ and ~~which~~Nutritional is intended for the specific dietary management of a disease or condition for which distinctive nutritional requirements, based on recognized scientific principles, are established by medical evaluation.Supplements

DSHEA defines the term "dietary supplement" to mean a product (other than tobacco) intended to supplement the diet that bears or contains one or more of the following dietary ingredients: a vitamin, a mineral, an herb or other botanical, an amino acid, a dietary substance for use by man to supplement the diet by increasing the total dietary intake, or a concentrate, metabolite, constituent, extract, or combination of any of the aforementioned ingredients. Furthermore, a dietary supplement must be labeled as a dietary supplement and be intended for ingestion and must not be represented for use as conventional food or as a sole item of a meal or of the diet. In addition, a dietary supplement cannot be approved or authorized for investigation as a new drug, antibiotic, or biologic, unless it was marketed as a food or a dietary supplement before such approval or authorization. Under DSHEA, dietary supplements are deemed to be food, except for purposes of the drug definition.

Dietary supplements labels. A "label" is a display of written, printed, or graphic material on the supplement container. DSHEA and other federal regulations require the following information to appear on dietary supplement labels:

·	a statement of identity that contains the words "dietary supplement." The word "dietary" may be replaced by the name of the dietary ingredient (e.g., "ginseng supplement");

·	net quantity of contents (for example, "60 capsules");

Table of Contents

·	nutrition information in the form of a "Supplement Facts" panel, including the product serving size, the amount, and percent daily value, if established, of each dietary ingredient;

·	if a supplement contains a proprietary blend, the net weight of the blend as well as a listing of each ingredient in descending order of weight must be identified;

·	the part of the plant used, if an herb or botanical;

·	the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor;

·	a complete list of ingredients by their common or usual names, either in descending order of prominence or with the source of the dietary ingredient in the "Supplement Facts" panel, following the name of the dietary ingredient;

·	safety information that is considered "material" to the consequences that may result from the use of the supplement;

the disclaimer "This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease" if the supplement bears a claim to affect the structure or function of the body (structure/function claim), a claim of general well-being, or a claim of a benefit related to a classical nutrient deficiency disease; and

·	At their discretion, manufacturers may add additional information on labels (such as claims and statements of quality assurance), and may decide on the placement of that information on their labels.

FDA and DSHEA. Under the act, supplement manufacturers do not need to receive FDA approval before marketing dietary supplements that were marketed in the United States before 1994. Dietary ingredients not so grandfathered are defined as New Dietary Ingredients in 21 U.S.C. 350b(d), and notifications of providing reasonable evidence of their safety, or reasonable expectations of their safety, must be reviewed and approved by the FDA prior to their marketing.

Medical Foods

The term “medical food” means a food which is formulated to be consumed or administered under the supervision of a physician and which is intended for the specific dietary management of a disease or condition for which distinctive nutritional requirements, based on recognized scientific principles, are established by medical evaluation.

In the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (“NLEA”), Congress incorporated the definition of medical foods contained in the Orphan Drug Amendments of 1988 into 21 U.S.C. § 343(q)(5)(A)(iv) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”) and exempted medical foods from the nutrition labeling, health claim, and nutrient content claim requirements applicable to most other foods. The final rule on mandatory labeling (58 FR 2079 at 2151, January 6, 1993) exempted medical foods from the nutrition labeling requirements and incorporated the statutory definition of a medical food into the agency’s regulations in regulation 21 C.F.R. § 101.9(j)(8). The FDA enumerated criteria that were intended to clarify the characteristics of medical foods. The regulation provides that a food may claim the exemption from nutrition labeling requirements only if it meets the following criteria:

§· It is a specially formulated and processed product (as opposed to a naturally occurring foodstuff used in its natural state) for the partial or exclusive feeding of a patient by means of oral intake or enteral feeding by tube;

§· It is intended for the dietary management of a patient who, because of therapeutic or chronic medical needs, has limited or impaired capacity to ingest, digest, absorb, or metabolize ordinary foodstuffs or certain nutrients, or who has other special medically determined nutrient requirements, the dietary management of which cannot be achieved by the modification of the normal diet alone;

§· It provides nutritional support specifically modified for the management of the unique nutrient needs that result from the specific disease or condition, as determined by medical evaluation;

§· It is intended to be used under medical supervision; and

§· It is intended only for a patient receiving active and ongoing medical supervision wherein the patient requires medical care on a recurring basis for, among other things, instructions on the use of the medical food.

Medical Foods are Protected Under the Proxmire Amendments and DSHEA

Congress enacted legislation (Pub. L. 94-278, Title V, April 22, 1976) that became section 411 of the act (21 USC 350) (known as the “Proxmire Amendment”). This amendment prevents the FDA from classifying any vitamin or mineral as a drug solely because it exceeds a potency level that is deemed to have a nutritionally sound rationale. In order to be excluded from regulation as a "drug" under the provisions of 21 USC § 350(a) and 21 USC § 350(b) or, in other words, in order to be a food to which 21 USC § 350 applies, a product must, under the definition of that phrase in 21 USC § 350(c), be a food for humans which is a food for special dietary use, (A) which is [a] vitamin . . . , and (B) which – (i) is intended for ingestion in tablet, capsule, powder, softgel, gelcap, or liquid form, or (ii) if not intended for ingestion in such a form, is not represented as conventional food and is not represented for use as a sole item of a meal or of a diet. (See United States v. Ten Cartons, 888 F. Supp. 381, 1995 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 3925 (E.D.N.Y.1995)).

Compliance with Environmental Laws

We are not aware of any environmental laws that have been enacted, nor are we aware of any such laws being contemplated for the future, that impact issues specific to our business. In our industry, environmental laws are anticipated to apply directly to the owners and operators of companies.

Employees

We currently have six full-time employees and one part-time employee. Depending upon demand, we occasionally utilize a number of additional part-time employees to manufacture and produce products.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Risk Factors Relating to Our Company

We have significant outstanding interest-bearing debt which we must repay from limited operating and financing cash flows.

We currently have aggregate convertible debt in the principal amount of $~~185~~1,~~000~~073,952 at annual interest rates ranging from 60% to 10%. Of this aggregate principal debt, $5059,~~000~~400 ~~plus~~was ~~accrued interest at 8% per annum is~~ due on ~~November~~April 2530, ~~2018~~2017 and $50,000 plus accrued interest is in litigation (. $85287,~~000~~300 of this debt ~~has~~plus ~~been~~accrued ~~rolled~~interest ~~over~~is toconsidered ~~maturities~~long-term ~~ranging~~and ~~from~~$45,000 ~~one~~is payable to ~~three~~related ~~years~~parties.) Much of the debt is convertible into shares of our Company at the option of the payee and, under certain circumstances, at our option. Given that our revenues have not been sufficient to allow for repayment of this debt, we will likely have to undertake financings involving new debt or equity securities to repay these obligations as they come due or further extend their maturities.

We may not be able to raise sufficient capital or generate adequate revenue to meet our obligations and fund our operating expenses.

Failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate sales revenues to meet our obligations, including our debt, pay our significant accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,~~018~~359,~~752~~702 and develop and sustain our operations could result in reducing or ceasing our operations. Additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and our failure to raise sufficient capital in a timely manner could negatively impact our growth strategy or otherwise materially adversely affect our business. Additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of our common stock, and debt financing may involve significant cash payment obligations and financial or other business covenants that restrict our ability to operate our business as we might otherwise choose. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds from additional borrowing, private placements or public offerings to meet our debt obligations, we may default on that debt, leaving us unable to continue in business. If we do not pay certain creditors of our accounts payable, we may lose crucial services rendered to our Company. Additionally, even if we do raise sufficient capital and generate revenues to support our operating expenses, there can be no assurances that the revenue will be sufficient to enable us to develop business to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We expect losses in the future.

We have generated limited revenues and we expect losses over the next year since we have modest revenues to offset the expenses associated in executing our business plan. As disclosed in this annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015~~2016, our revenues decreased substantially from $~~656~~346,~~342~~910 for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2014~~2015 to $~~346~~265,~~910~~466 for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2015~~2016 with a net loss decreasing from $(2,~~296~~260,~~591~~050) for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2014~~2015 to $(21,~~260~~395,~~050~~782) for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2015~~2016. We are unable to give any assurance that we will ever be successful in generating substantial revenues in the future or becoming profitable. We recognize that if we are unable to generate substantial revenues, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations as a going concern. There is only a limited corporate history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will be successful, and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate substantial operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations.

As discussed in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this annual report for our fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2015~~2016 we had a working capital deficit of $(1,~~111~~871,~~458~~277). We had a net loss of $(21,~~260~~395,~~050~~782) for the year ending December 31, ~~2015~~2016 and an accumulated deficit of $(1314,~~076~~472,~~992~~774) from inception (on July 19, 2007) through December 31, ~~2015~~2016.

These factors raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue operations as a going concern, and our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding this uncertainty in their audit report. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our generating sufficient operating cash flow from operations and other financing activities. We may not be successful in addressing these issues. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our stockholders may lose their entire investment in the Company.

Our future profitability is uncertain.

We cannot predict our ability to achieve profitability. Our research and development expenses are expected to increase as we develop and clinically test new potential products. As evidenced by the substantial net losses during 2015 and 2014, losses and expenses may increase and fluctuate from year to year. There can be no assurance that we will ever achieve profitable operations.

Our future profitability is uncertain.

We cannot predict our ability to achieve profitability. Our research and development expenses are expected to increase as we develop and clinically test new potential products. As evidenced by the substantial net losses during 2016 and 2015, losses and expenses may increase and fluctuate from year to year. There can be no assurance that we will ever achieve profitable operations.

To date, we have been unable to operate profitably. In order to establish our business, we will likely incur additional

expenses for additional personnel, marketing and advertising, information systems, rent and other overhead to support these activities. We therefore expect to incur substantial operating losses for the foreseeable future. Our ability to become profitable depends on our ability to successfully develop and market our products and operations, while maintaining reasonable expense levels, all of which are uncertain in light of our absence of any prior profitable operating history.

We may not be able to successfully put in place the necessary financial, administrative, and managerial structure and the development of such structure will require a significant amount of management's time and other resources.

Our financial results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate in the future, which may cause volatility in our valuation.

Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and we expect our future quarterly and annual operating results to fluctuate as we focus on increasing healthcare provider and consumer demand for our products. These fluctuations could cause the value of our enterprise and, accordingly, the value of our common and preferred stock or other securities to decline or significantly fluctuate. Some of the factors that could cause our operating results to fluctuate include:

·	limited visibility into and difficulty predicting the level of activity in individual health care providers’ practices from quarter to quarter;

·	weakness in consumer spending as a result of the slowdown in the United States economy and global economies;

·	changes in relationships with distributors;

·	changes in the timing of receipt of product orders during a given quarter which, given our cycle time and the delay between case receipts and case shipments, could have an impact on which quarter revenue can be recognized;

·	fluctuations in currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar;

·	changes in product mix;

·	our inability to predict from period to period the number of healthcare professionals recommending or otherwise depending on our products as part of a treatment regimen, which may impact the timing of when revenue is recognized;

·	seasonal fluctuations in the number of doctors in their offices and their availability to take appointments;

·	success of or changes to our marketing programs from quarter to quarter;

·	timing of industry tradeshows;

·	changes in the timing of when revenue is recognized, including as a result of the introduction of new products or promotions or as a result of changes to critical accounting estimates or new accounting pronouncements;

·	changes to our effective tax rate;

·	unanticipated delays in production caused by insufficient capacity or availability of raw materials;

·	any disruptions in the manufacturing process (external to us), including unexpected turnover in the labor force or the introduction of new production processes, power outages or natural or other disasters beyond our control;

·	the development and marketing of directly competitive products by existing and new competitors;

·	major changes in available technology or the preferences of customers may cause our current product offerings to become less competitive or obsolete;

·	aggressive price competition from competitors;

·	costs and expenditures in connection with litigation;

Table of Contents

·	the timing of new product introductions by us and our competitors, as well as customer order deferrals in anticipation of enhancements or new products;

·	disruptions to our business due to political, economic or other social instability, including the impact of an epidemic any of which results in changes in consumer spending habits, consumers unable or unwilling to visit health care professionals, as well as any impact on workforce absenteeism;

·	inaccurate forecasting of net revenues, production and other operating costs; and

·	investments in research and development to develop new products and enhancements.

To respond to these and other factors, we may need to make business decisions that could adversely affect our operating results such as modifications to our pricing policy, business structure or operations. Most of our expenses, such as employee compensation and lease payment obligations, are relatively fixed in the short term. Moreover, our expense levels are based, in part, on our expectations regarding future revenue levels. As a result, if our net revenues for a particular period fall below our expectations, whether caused by changes in consumer spending, consumer preferences, weakness in the U.S. or global economies, changes in customer behavior related to advertising and prescribing our product, or other factors, we may be unable to adjust spending quickly enough to offset any shortfall in net revenues. Due to these and other factors, we believe that period-to-period comparisons, particularly quarter-to-quarter comparisons, of our operating results may not be meaningful. You should not rely on our results for any one quarter or other period as an indication of our future performance.

Table of Contents

Our future success may depend on our ability to develop, gain regulatory approval for and successfully introduce and achieve market acceptance of new products.

Although we are now only subject to limited amounts of government regulation, our future success may depend on our ability to develop, manufacture, market, and obtain regulatory approval or clearance of new products. Complying with future government regulation may be an expensive and time-consuming process, and failure to comply could result in substantial penalties. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully develop, sell and achieve market acceptance of these and other new products and applications and enhanced versions of our existing product, related technology and intellectual property. The extent of, and rate at which, market acceptance and penetration are achieved by future products, related technologies and intellectual property is a function of many variables, which include, among other things, our ability to:

·	correctly identify customer needs and preferences and predict future needs and preferences;

·	include functionality and features that address customer requirements;

·	allocate our research and development funding to products with higher growth prospects;

·	anticipate and respond to our competitors’ development of new products and technological innovations;

·	effectively differentiate our product offerings from our competitors’ product offerings;

·	innovate and develop new technologies and applications;

·	if and when applicable, effectively communicate the availability of third-party reimbursement of procedures using our products;

·	obtain adequate intellectual property rights; and

·	encourage customers to adopt new product technologies.

If we fail to accurately predict customer needs and preferences or fail to produce viable technologies, we may invest heavily in research and development of products, related technologies and intellectual property that do not lead to significant revenue. Even if we successfully innovate and develop new products and produce enhancements, the related clinical studies are expensive and time consuming and we may incur substantial costs in undertaking such studies, and our profitability may suffer.

Our ability to market and sell new products may also become subject to government regulation, including approval or clearance by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), and foreign government agencies. Any failure in our ability to successfully develop and introduce or achieve market acceptance of our new products or enhanced versions of existing products could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and could cause our net revenues to decline.

A disruption in the operations of freight carriers or higher shipping costs could cause a decline in our net revenues or a reduction in our earnings.

Indirectly, we are dependent on commercial freight carriers to deliver our products. If the operations of these carriers are disrupted for any reason, delivery of our products to our customers may be disrupted or untimely. If our products cannot be delivered in an efficient and timely manner, our net revenues and operating profits could materially decline. In a rising fuel cost environment, freight costs will increase. If freight costs materially increase, our gross margin and financial results could be adversely affected.

Our business is sensitive to perceptions of the public and of the medical community.

Our business is sensitive to public perception. If any product we develop proves to be harmful to consumers or if scientific studies provide unfavorable findings regarding their safety or effectiveness, then our image in the marketplace would be negatively impacted. Additionally, inasmuch as our medical foods target specific diseases whose sufferers are under the care of general practitioners and/or specialists, should our medical foods fail to win the confidence of those health care professionals, our image and operating results could suffer.

Our results of operations may be significantly affected by the public’s perception of our Company and similar companies. In addition, our business could be adversely affected if any of our future products prove to be harmful to consumers or if scientific studies provide unfavorable findings regarding the safety or effectiveness of our products or any similar products. Moreover, the U.S. FDA, FTC or other government agencies could potentially regulate our industry in the future and adversely affect our marketing ability and success. While quality control testing is conducted on the ingredients in such products, we are highly dependent upon consumers' perception of the overall integrity of the dietary supplements business. The safety and quality of products made by competitors in our industry may not adhere to the same quality standards that ours do, and may result in a negative consumer perception of the entire industry. If our products suffer from negative consumer perception, it is likely our sales will slow and we will have difficultly generating revenues.

Table of Contents

If our products do not have the healthful effects intended, our business may suffer.

In general, our products consist of regulated supplements, nutraceuticals, medical foods and certain consumer products which are classified in the United States as “dietary supplements” which we believe do not require approval from the FDA or other regulatory agencies prior to sale. Although many of the ingredients in such products are vitamins, minerals, herbs and other substances for which there is a long history of human consumption, they may also contain innovative ingredients or combinations of ingredients. Although we believe all of such products and the combinations of ingredients in them are safe when taken as directed, there is little long-term experience with human or other animal consumption of certain of these innovative product ingredients or combinations thereof in concentrated form. The products could have certain side effects if not taken as directed or if taken by a consumer that has certain medical conditions. In addition, such products have been proven to be more effective when taken in accordance with certain instructions which include certain dietary restrictions. Therefore, such products may not be effective if such instructions are not followed. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any of the products, even when used as directed, will have the effects intended or will not have harmful side effects. If any of such products were shown to be harmful or negative publicity resulted from an individual who was allegedly harmed by one product, it could hurt our business, profitability and growth prospects.

We may not be able to compete with larger entities, the majority of whom have greater resources and experience than we do.

The market for nutraceutical and medical food products is highly competitive. Numerous manufacturers and distributors compete with us for customers throughout the United States, Canada and internationally in the packaged nutritional supplement industry selling products to retailers such as mass merchandisers, drug store chains, independent pharmacies, and health food stores. Many of our competitors are substantially larger and more experienced than we are. In addition, they have longer operating histories and have materially greater financial and other resources than we do. They therefore have the advantage of having established reputations, brand names, track records, back office and managerial support systems and other advantages that we may be unable to duplicate in the near future. Many of these competitors are private companies, and therefore, we cannot compare our revenues with respect to the sales volume of each competitor. If we cannot compete in the marketplace, we may have difficulty selling our products and generating revenues. Additionally, competition may drive down the prices of our products, which could adversely affect our profitability, if any.

We are also subject to competition from many drug companies due to the fact that some of our products have what we believe to be health benefits that certain drugs are created to produce. We are also subject to competition in the attraction and retention of employees. Many of our competitors have greater financial resources and can offer employees compensation packages with which it is difficult for us to compete.

As we grow, we are subject to growth-related risks, including risks related to capacity constraints at our existing facilities.

We are subject to growth-related risks, including capacity constraints and pressure on our internal systems and personnel. In order to manage current operations and future growth effectively, we will need to continue to implement and improve our operational, financial and management information systems and to hire, train, motivate, manage and retain employees. We may be unable to manage such growth effectively. Any such failure could have a material adverse impact on our business, operations and prospects. Expansion can inherently include additional costs and start-up inefficiencies, as well as the inability to successfully integrate additional facilities, equipment, systems or incremental capacity and to realize anticipated synergies, economies of scale or other value. Periods of contraction or reduced net sales, or other factors, create other challenges. Because we cannot always immediately adapt our capacity and related cost structures to changing market conditions, our systems capacity may at times exceed or fall short of our requirements. Any or all of these problems could result in the loss of customers, provide an opportunity for competing products to gain market acceptance and otherwise harm our business and financial results.

We depend upon our executive officers and key personnel.

Our performance depends substantially on the performance of our executive officers. Our Chief Executive Officer, Carl Johnson oversees all Company-related operations. Our Chief Science and Technology Officer, Marvin S. Hausman, M.D., is the inventor of the process and formulas used to manufacture the future products to be sold by us. We anticipate that he will be the developer of any additional products that we plan to add to our product line. Our Chief Operating and Financial Officer, Timothy Timmins, is responsible for our day-to-day operations. The loss of services of our executives could have a material adverse effect on our business, revenues, and results of operations or financial condition. We do not maintain key person life insurance on the lives of our officers or key employees but have agreed to do so when our financial condition allows.

Table of Contents

The success of our business in the future will depend on our ability to attract, train, retain and motivate high quality personnel. Competition for talented personnel is intense, and we may not be able to continue to attract, train, retain or motivate other highly qualified technical and managerial personnel in the future. In addition, market conditions may require us to pay higher compensation to qualified management and technical personnel than we currently anticipate. Any inability to attract and retain qualified management and technical personnel in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and/or results of operations.

Our success is dependent upon our ability to protect and promote our proprietary rights.

Our success will depend in part on our ability to maintain existing intellectual property, both licensed and owned, and to obtain and maintain further intellectual property protection for our products, both in the U.S. and in other countries. Our success will further depend in large part on our ability to protect and promote our proprietary rights to our formulas and proprietary processes and ingredients.

Our ability to compete effectively depends, to a significant extent, on our ability to maintain the proprietary nature of our intellectual property. There can be no assurance that the scope of the steps we take to protect all of our interests cannot be circumvented, or that it will not violate the proprietary rights of others, or that we will not be prevented from using our product if challenged. In fact, even if broad enough, others may still infringe upon our rights, which will be costly to protect. Furthermore, the laws of other countries may less effectively protect our proprietary rights than U.S. laws. Infringement of our rights by a third party could result in uncompensated lost markets and revenue opportunities.

We are at risk for product liability claims and require adequate insurance to protect us against such claims. If we are unable to secure the necessary insurance coverage at affordable cost to protect our business against any claims, then our exposure to liability will greatly increase and our ability to market and sell our products will be more difficult since certain customers rely on this insurance in order to distribute our products.

We are also constantly at risk that consumers and users of our products will bring lawsuits alleging product liability. We are not aware of any consumer claims threatened or pending against us that would adversely affect our business. While we will continue to attempt to take what we consider to be appropriate precautions, these precautions may not protect us from significant product liability exposure in the future. Although we presently are protected by product liability insurance, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain coverage in the future and, if not, there can be no assurance that we would be able to replace lost coverage on a cost-justified basis, in a sufficient amount or at all. We may not have sufficient resources to defend against or pay damages from a material lawsuit; this could negatively impact our business.

If we infringe the patents or proprietary rights of other parties or are subject to a patent infringement claim, or if we are required to initiate litigation against others in order to protect or assert our intellectual property rights, our ability to grow our business may be severely limited.

Extensive litigation over patents and other intellectual property rights is common in the healthcare industry. We may be the subject of patent or other litigation in the future. From time to time, we may in the future receive letters from third parties drawing our attention to their patent rights. While we do not believe that we infringe upon any valid and enforceable rights, whether or not these have been brought to our attention, there may be other more pertinent rights of which we are presently unaware. In addition, because patent applications in the United States are maintained in secrecy until patents issue, and because publication of discoveries in the scientific or patent literature often lags behind actual discoveries, we cannot be certain that we and our licensors are the first creators of inventions covered by any licensed patent applications or patents or that we or they are the first to file. The Patent and Trademark Office may commence interference proceedings involving patents or patent applications, in which the question of first inventorship is contested. Accordingly, the patents owned or licensed to us may not be valid or may not afford us protection against competitors with similar technology, and the patent applications licensed to us may not result in the issuance of patents. The defense and prosecution of intellectual property suits, interference proceedings and related legal and administrative proceedings could result in substantial expense to us and significant diversion of effort by our technical and management personnel. An adverse determination of any litigation or interference proceeding to which we may become a party or which we initiate could subject us to significant liabilities. An adverse determination of this nature could also put our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly or require us to seek licenses from third parties. Licenses may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all, in which event, our business would be materially adversely affected.

Table of Contents

From time to time, we may maintain single-supply relationships for certain of our business elements and materials technologies, and our business and operating results could be harmed if supply is restricted or ends or the price of raw materials (generally wire) used in our manufacturing process increases.

We purchase substantially all of our key raw material, mushrooms (in various forms), from a single source. If this or other suppliers encounter financial, operating or other difficulties or if our relationship with them changes, we might not be able to quickly establish or qualify replacement sources of supply and could face production interruptions, delays and inefficiencies. Although the bulk of the mushrooms we use are not rare, we cannot give any assurance that they will remain available in plentiful supply or at economically viable prices. Although the raw materials we use are not subjected to extraordinary regulation over and above that normally required by regulatory agencies such as the FDA, nor are unusual environmental legal considerations weighing directly upon our product, we cannot give any assurance that this regulatory status will continue. Our growth may exceed the capacity of one or more of our suppliers to produce the needed materials in sufficient quantities to support our growth. We may in the future, in order to secure supplies for production of our products, enter into non-cancelable purchase commitments with vendors, which could impact our ability to adjust our inventory to reflect declining market demands. If demand for our products is less than we expect, we may experience additional excess and obsolete inventories and be forced to incur additional charges and our profitability may suffer. In the event of technology changes, delivery delays, or shortages of or increases in price for these items, our business and growth prospects may be harmed.

Risks Relating to Our Common Shares and Other Securities

We have incurred significant costs as a result of being a public company.

As a public company, we have incurred significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we would not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, has imposed substantial requirements on public companies, including certain corporate governance practices and requirements relating to internal control over financial reporting. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. In addition, in the future we may be required to document, evaluate, and test our internal control procedures under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the related rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission which will be costly and time consuming. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important in helping prevent financial fraud. If we are unable to achieve and maintain adequate internal controls, our business and operating results could be harmed.

We may issue shares of preferred stock in the future that may adversely impact rights of holders of our existing classes of common and preferred stock.

Our articles of incorporation, as consented to and ratified by our recently completed consent solicitation, authorize us to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. To date, we have issued an aggregate of 306,969 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, of which ~~191~~188,~~307~~563 shares remain unconverted and outstanding, with each preferred share convertible into 1050 shares of common stock. Our board of directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred shares, as well as the authority to issue such shares, without further stockholder approval. As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of additional series of preferred stock that would grant to holders of such preferred shares preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividends before dividends are declared to holders of other classes of our stock, and the right to the redemption of such preferred shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of other classes of our stock. To the extent that we do issue such additional shares of preferred stock, rights of holders of other classes of our stock could be impaired thereby, including, without limitation, dilution of ownership interests in the Company. In addition, shares of preferred stock could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control or make removal of management more difficult, which may not be in the interests of holders of other classes of our stock.

We may, in the future, issue additional common shares, which would reduce investors' percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 150,000,000 shares of common stock. The future issuance of common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.

Our officers/directors own a significant interest in our voting stock which could limit the ability of the other shareholders to express their voice and result in decisions adverse to the interests of our general shareholders.

~~Our~~Through their beneficial ownership, our officers and directors, in the aggregate, ~~beneficially own approximately or~~ have the right to vote approximately ~~20.2~~36% of our outstanding common stock. As a result of potential future bonuses and other equity awards, these officers and directors could, in the aggregate, beneficially own or have the right to vote even more of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders, acting together, could influence matters submitted to our stockholders for approval including:

·	election of our board of directors;

·	removal of any of our directors;

·	significant corporate transactions;

·	amendment of our Articles of Incorporation or bylaws; and

·	adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination involving us.

In addition, the future prospect of sales of significant amounts of shares held by our directors and executive officers could affect the market price of our common stock if the marketplace does not orderly adjust to the increase in shares in the market and the value of your investment in the Company may decrease. Management's stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.

Additionally, our officers/directors, in the aggregate, beneficially own a significant amount of our outstanding preferred stock. As a result, these preferred stockholders, acting together, could influence matters related to our preferred stock including, but not limited to the following:

·	Rights and privileges of the preferred class, including anti-dilution provisions; and

·	Existence of the class itself, in the case of mandatory or forced conversion to our common shares.

Table of Contents

There is a limited public market for our common stock. Historically, the market value for our company has been difficult to determine.

There is a limited public market for our common stock. We cannot assure our investors that a robust public market for our shares will develop in the future. As a result, investors may not be able to realize any return on their investment for a considerable period of time, if ever. Therefore, any investment in our securities should be considered a long-term investment and may be illiquid for an indefinite period of time. Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) currently requires that the Shares must be held a minimum of six months, and there is no assurance that the Shares will be available for resale under Rule 144 in six months or ever. To effect a sale, all certificates evidencing the common shares that bear a legend restricting transfer, except upon registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to a valid exemption from such registration, must be supported by an opinion of counsel to the Company or a no-action letter issued by the Commission.

If it can at all be determined, the market value of our company and its securities could be subject to wide valuation fluctuations in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control. The factors include:

·	Periodic variations in our results of operations and liquidity;

·	Speculation in the press or investment community concerning our business and results of operations;

·	Strategic actions by our competitors, such as product announcements or acquisitions;

·	Announcements of technological innovations or new products by us, our customers or competitors; and

·	General economic market conditions.

In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for healthcare companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Although only a limited public market for our common stock currently exists, these broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market value of our company in a private financing or sale, regardless of our operating performance.

Table of Contents

Our common shares are subject to the "Penny Stock" Rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.

For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (a) that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and (b) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: (a) obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and (b) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: (a) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (b) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common shares and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

Our corporate headquarters are located at 13565 SW Tualatin-Sherwood Road, Suite #800, Sherwood, Oregon 97140. We believe our current office space is adequate for our immediate needs; however, as our operations expand, we may need to relocate and/or secure additional office space.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

At December 31, ~~2015~~2016, we were and continue to be a party to litigation with respect to a note payable, with a face amount of $50,000, ~~and~~ the accrued interest thereon~~.

Our formulations, which are highly potent antioxidants, have the nutritional potential to provide multiple health benefits for humans, including improving iron homeostasis, reducing inflammation, supporting the immune system, promoting healthy joints, increasing stamina, and reducing stress and anxiety. These naturally occurring dietary substances have not been chemically altered, and we believe these products have both health benefits and mass appeal to people wanting natural and non-toxic nutritional-based healthcare. We utilize novel clinical models, biomarkers, and analytical tools to validate the nutritional and clinical efficacy of our formulations and the products that incorporate them. Research and development of new formulations and nutraceutical products are also performed under contract with outside laboratories.

Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014

Revenues and Cost of Goods Sold:

	For the Years Ended December 31,				Change
	2015		2014		$			%
	2016		2015		$			%
Revenues	$	~~346~~265,~~910~~466	$	~~656~~346,~~342~~910	$	(~~309~~81,~~432~~444	)		-4723.15	%

Revenues. Revenues are generated from the sale of our GROH line and mushroom-based nutraceutical dietary supplement products and functional ingredients. The 4723.15% decrease in revenues from ~~2014~~2015 was due to the decrease in sales of our GROH products ~~caused primarily by large stocking orders from a distributor in 2014 that were not repeated in 2015~~.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold includes raw materials such as mushrooms, as well as production costs for manufacturing our supplement products. Cost of goods sold for ~~2015~~2016 decreased proportionally with the decrease of revenues compared to ~~2014~~2015.

The following is a summary of certain consolidated statement of operations data for the periods indicated:

Operating Expenses:

	For the Years Ended December 31,				Change
	2015		2014		$			%
	2016		2015		$			%
Advertising & promotion expenses	$	~~127~~90,~~127~~143	$	~~125~~127,~~728~~127	$	1(36,~~399~~984	)		1-29.1	%

Consulting fees		~~344~~68,~~112~~965		~~400~~344,~~352~~112		(56275,~~240~~147	)		-1480.0	%
General and Administrative expenses (including impairment of intangible assets)		1,~~539~~009,~~495~~930		1,~~526~~539,~~244~~495		13(529,~~251~~565	)		0-34.94	%

Advertising and promotional expenses. These costs include costs for promotional products, production fees for marketing materials, costs associated with fulfillment, fees for advertising programs such as ad placement fees, and postage fees for mailing marketing materials. The decrease in this expense is due to the reduction of marketing activities during 2016 for the Groh brand.

Professional fees. These expenses primarily include accounting/auditing fees, legal fees and stock transfer fees. The increase in professional fees from 2014 is due to increased legal and accounting fees for 2015.23

Consulting fees. These expenses are comprised of fees incurred by third-party consultants for the provision of administrative, information technology, investment banking and marketing management services. The decrease in these expenses from 2014 was due to the fact that there was a decrease in warrants issued to compensate third party consultants for services in 2015.

General and administrative expenses. These expenses primarily include compensation, costs related to travel, rent and utilities, insurance, depreciation and product development. The decrease from 2014 is attributable to a reduction in wages of $227,000 netted with an increase in stock-based compensation of $132,000. Reduction in wages was caused by a reduction in staff and non-accrual or payment of certain executive compensation. We also posted a loss on impairment of our licenses in the amount of $110,000. This was due to management’s analysis of our carrying value for the licenses with the undiscounted net cash flows for the products associated with the licenses.

Professional fees. These expenses primarily include accounting/auditing fees, legal fees and stock transfer fees. The decrease in professional fees from 2015 is due to decreased legal and accounting fees for 2016.

Consulting fees. These expenses are comprised of fees incurred by third-party consultants for the provision of administrative, information technology, investment banking and marketing management services. The decrease in these expenses from 2015 to 2016 is due to a reduction in the use of third-party consultants and the attendant decrease in warrants issued to compensate such consultants.

General and administrative expenses. These expenses primarily include compensation, costs related to travel, rent and utilities, insurance, depreciation and product development. The decrease from 2015 is attributable to a reduction in stock-based compensation of $439,000 and a $49,000 reduction of the value of intangible assets that occurred in 2016. During 2015 there was a $110,000 reduction in the value of intangible assets.

Inflation

Inflation has not had a significant impact in the current or prior periods.

Employees

We currently have six full-time employees and one part-time employee. From time to time, we utilize part-time employees to manufacture and produce products. We believe that our employee relations are good.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, ~~2015~~2016, cash totaled $2476,~~133~~050 compared to $9924,~~462~~133 at December 31, ~~2014~~2015. The primary reasons for the net ~~decrease~~increase in ~~2015~~2016 are described below. Our cash is held primarily in general checking accounts. Working capital deficit was $(1,~~111~~871,~~458~~277) at December 31, ~~2015~~2016, compared to $(~~549~~1,~~850~~111,458) at December 31, ~~2014~~2015. The change in working capital was due primarily to the increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and athe ~~bonus~~short-term ~~payable~~convertible ofnotes ~~$200,000~~payable in ~~2015~~2016. The net change in cash and cash equivalents for the periods presented was comprised of the following (in thousands):

	For the Years Ended, December 31,						Change
	2015			2014			$			%
	2016			2015			$			%
Net cash provided by (used in)
Operating activities	$	(~~537~~715	)	$	(~~680~~537	)	$	~~143~~(178	)		~~-21~~33.01	%

Financing activities		~~483~~774			~~788~~483			~~(305~~291	)		~~-38~~60.72	%

Operating Activities. The ~~decrease~~increase in net cash flows used in operating activities ~~was~~is due primarily to a decrease in ~~our~~stock-based ~~net loss~~compensation.

Investing Activities. The decrease in net cash flows used from investing activities ~~was~~is due primarily to a ~~decrease~~reduction in ~~the~~ acquisition of patents and licenses.

Financing Activities. The ~~decrease~~increase in net cash flows in financing activities ~~was~~is due primarily to aadditional ~~reduction~~sales ~~in proceeds from the sale~~ of ~~common~~convertible ~~and~~ notes payable.

Future Liquidity. We have a history of incurring net losses and negative operating cash flows. We also continue to develop commercial products and services. Based on our cash on hand, planned financings and results from future operations, ~~management~~we ~~believes~~believe itthat we will have sufficient funds to remain operational through ~~2016~~2017.

We expect our revenues to remain steady in 2016. Notwithstanding, we anticipate generating losses in 2016 and therefore we may be unable to continue operations in the future. In order for us to continue as a going concern and ultimately to achieve profitability, we will be (a) required to obtain capital from external sources; and/or (b) increase revenues; and/or (c) reduce operating costs. We intend to raise additional capital by undertaking one or more private placements. However, there can be no assurances that our operations will become profitable or that external sources of financing, including the issuance of debt and/or equity securities, will be available at times and at terms acceptable to us, or at all. The issuance of additional equity or convertible debt securities will also cause dilution to our shareholders. If external financing sources are not available or are inadequate to fund our operations, we will be required to reduce operating costs, which could jeopardize our future strategic initiatives and business plans. For example, a reduction in operating costs could jeopardize our ability to launch, market and sell new products necessary to grow and sustain our operations.24

We expect our revenues to remain steady in 2017. Notwithstanding, we anticipate generating losses in 2017 and therefore we may experience additional challenges to our ability to continue future operations. In order for us to continue as a going concern and ultimately to achieve profitability, we will be (a) required to obtain capital from external sources; and/or (b) increase revenues; and/or (c) reduce operating costs. We intend to raise additional capital through private financing and or product licensing. However, there can be no assurances that our operations will become profitable or that external sources of financing, including the issuance of debt and/or equity securities, will be available at times and at terms acceptable to us, or at all. The issuance of additional equity or convertible debt securities will also cause dilution to our shareholders. If external financing sources are not available or are inadequate to fund our operations, we will be required to reduce operating costs, which could jeopardize our future strategic initiatives and business plans. For example, a reduction funds available for operating costs could jeopardize our ability to launch, market and sell new products necessary to grow and sustain our business.

Subsequent Events

The ~~notes~~License called for and was accompanied by a separate executed agreement under which we will manufacture and sell our ErgoD2 compound exclusively to the licensee for its use in the cosmetic and beauty care markets. As this manufacturing agreement provided for price adjustments and is expected to run for a number of future years concurrent with the License, its positive value to us presently continues to be inestimable. Additionally, the License called for a ~~related~~separate ~~party~~agreement with Entia, through which our Chief Science and Technology Officer will provide consulting services to the licensee.

During February 2016, an investor exchanged 2,744 shares of Series A preferred stock for 27,440 shares of common stock.

During March 2016, we issued two three-year, 8% convertible debentures in the amount of $50,000 and $25,000. The debentures are convertible into shares of common stock at the rate of $0.10 per share. Attached to each debenture is a three-year warrant to purchase 50,000 and 25,000 shares of our common stock at $0.125 per share. We calculated a discount on the fair value of the warrants in the amounts of $3,150 and $1,575, respectively, and will amortize these discounts over the life of the debentures.

During April 2016, we issued a three-year, 8% convertible debenture in the amount of $100,000 and convertible into shares of common stock at the rate of $0.10 per share. Attached to the debenture is a three-year warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at $0.125 per share. We calculated a discount on the fair value of the warrant in the amount of $6,300 and will amortize this over the life of the debenture.

Going Concern

We have a history of incurring net losses and net operating cash flow deficits. At December 31, ~~2015~~2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2476,~~133~~050. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Based on our cash on hand, planned financings, and results from future operations, ~~management~~we ~~believes~~believe itthat we will have sufficient funds to remain operational through ~~2016~~2017.

In order for us to continue as a going concern beyond this point and ultimately to achieve profitability, we ~~may~~likely will be required to obtain capital from external sources, and/or increase revenues and/or reduce operating costs. The issuance of additional equity or convertible debt securities will also cause dilution to our shareholders. If external financing sources of financing are not available or are inadequate to fund our operations, we ~~will~~may be required to reduce operating costs including personnel costs, which could jeopardize our future strategic initiatives and business plans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results or operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

~~Management's~~Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the report amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as reported revenues and expenses during the periods. We have identified below our accounting policies that we use in arriving at key estimates that we consider critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. This is not a complete list of all of our accounting policies, and there may be other accounting policies that are significant to us. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and our other accounting policies, see Note 2 in Item 8 of this Report.

Inventory. We hold raw materials and finished goods inventories, which are ~~manufactured~~procured and ~~procured~~manufactured based on our sales forecasts. We value inventory at the lower of cost or market, which is based on estimated net realizable value, and include adjustments for estimated obsolete or excess inventory. These valuations are subject to customer acceptance, planned and actual product changes, demand for the particular products, and our estimates of future realizable values based on these forecasted demands. We regularly review inventory detail to determine whether a write-down is necessary. We consider various factors in making this determination, including recent sales history and predicted trends, industry market conditions and general economic conditions. The amount and timing of write-downs for any period could change if we make different judgments or use different estimates. We also determine whether a provision for obsolete or excess inventory is required for any changes related to market conditions, slow-moving inventory, or obsolete products

Share-based Compensation. WeWhere reliable, reputable third-party appraisals are available, these are used to determine value or aid in determining value. Absent such appraisals and documentation, we account for share-based compensation by estimating the fair value of share-based compensation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant. We utilize assumptions related to stock price volatility, stock option term and forfeiture rates that are based upon both historical factors as well as management's judgment. ~~Non~~Where possible, non-cash compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable service period, or is otherwise based on the fair value of such share-based awards on the grant date, as documented by appraisal or other suitable documentation.

Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue from the sale of products includes shipping and handling revenues. Shipping and handling costs paid by the Company are included in costs of goods sold. Allowances for product returns, primarily in connection with one distribution agreement, are provided at the time the sale is recorded. This accrual is based upon historical return rates for the Company and relevant industry patters, which reflects anticipated returns of unopened product in its original packaging to be received over a period of 120 days following the original sale. Sales returns have historically average 5% or less of our gross sales.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Entia Biosciences, Inc.

Sherwood, Oregon

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Entia Biosciences, Inc. and Subsidiary ~~("the Company")~~ as of December 31, ~~2015~~2016 and ~~2014~~2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the ~~audits~~audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the ~~consolidated~~ financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company ~~has determined that it~~ is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our ~~audits~~audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 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 ~~consolidated~~ financial statements~~. An~~, ~~audit also includes~~ assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall ~~consolidated~~ financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Entia Biosciences, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, ~~2015~~2016 and ~~2014~~2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. ~~The~~ These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of ~~this~~these ~~uncertainty~~uncertainties.

We are also engaged in the discovery, scientific evaluation and marketing of natural formulations that can be used in medical foods, nutraceuticals, cosmetics and other products developed and sold by Entia and by third parties.

We have a history of incurring net losses and net operating cash flow deficits. ~~We are also developing new organic medical foods products.~~ At December 31, ~~2015~~2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2476,~~133~~050. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Based on our cash on hand, planned financings, and results from future operations, we believe that we will have sufficient funds to continue operations through ~~2016~~2017.

In order for us to continue as a going concern beyond this point and ultimately to achieve profitability, we will likely be required to obtain capital from external sources, and/or increase revenues and/or reduce operating costs. The issuance of equity securities will cause dilution to our shareholders. If external sources of financing are not available or are inadequate to fund our operations, we ~~will~~may be required to reduce operating costs including personnel costs, which could jeopardize our future strategic initiatives and business plans. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming ~~that~~ the Company continues as a going concern.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the matters discussed herein.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Entia and Total Nutraceutical Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary, as of December 31, ~~2015~~2016 and ~~2014~~2015.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

We consider all highly liquid, short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses based on specific identification of accounts in our existing accounts receivable. Outstanding account balances are reviewed individually for collectibility. We determine the allowance based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions. Bad debt expense is included in general and administrative expenses, if any. We generally consider accounts greater than 30 days old to be past due. Account balances are charged off against allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $5,736 ~~and $30,022~~ at December 31, ~~2015~~2016 and ~~2014, respectively~~2015.

Inventory

Inventory consists of finished goods and raw materials to be used in the production of our dietary supplement products, is stated at the lower of cost or market using the average cost method. We regularly review our inventory on hand and, when necessary, record a provision for excess or obsolete inventory. The portion of inventory that is not expected to be used in production of our products for more than 12 months is a long-term asset.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Additions and improvements that increase the value or extend the life of an asset are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives of the assets:

Office equipment	3 years
Production equipment	5 to 7 years
Leasehold improvements	Lesser of lease term or useful life of improvement

Patents

Patents, once issued or purchased, are amortized using the straight-line method over their economic remaining useful lives. All internally -developed process costs incurred to the point when a patent application is to be filed are expensed as incurred and classified as research and development costs and reported in the consolidated statements of operations as general and administrative costs. Patent application costs, ~~generally~~and general legal costs, are capitalized pending disposition of the individual patent application, and are subsequently either amortized based on the initial patent life granted, generally 15 to 20 years for domestic patents and 5 to 20 years for foreign patents, or expensed if the patent application is rejected. The costs of defending and maintaining patents are expensed as incurred. Upon becoming fully amortized, the related cost and accumulated amortization are removed from the accounts.

Licenses

Licenses that allow us to use certain technology in the production of our products are amortized on a straight-line basis over their remaining useful life (typically 15-17 years). Long-lived assets, including licenses, property and equipment and patents are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

We assess the recoverability of our long-lived assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related long-lived asset or group of long-lived assets over their remaining estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. If long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives.

We have recorded an impairment on our licenses in the amount of $~~110~~49,~~000~~895 and $27110,~~080~~000 on December 31, ~~2015~~2016 and ~~2014~~2015, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, the carrying value of our licenses are $0.

Discount on convertible notes payable

We allocate the proceeds received from convertible notes between convertible notes payable and warrants, if applicable. The resulting discount for warrants is amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the debt instrument. After allocating a portion of the proceeds to the warrants, the effective conversion price of the convertible note payable can be determined. If the effective conversion price is lower than the market price at the date of issuance, a beneficial conversion feature is recorded as an additional discount to the convertible note payable. The beneficial conversion feature discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the debt instrument. The amortization is recorded as interest expense on the consolidated ~~statement~~statements of operations.

Table of Contents

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amounts of our financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values determined based on level 1 inputs in the fair value hierarchy because of the short maturity of these instruments. Due to conversion features and other terms, it is not practical to estimate the fair value of notes payable and convertible notes.

Fair value measurements

We measure fair value as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Where reliable, reputable third-party appraisals are available, these are used to determine value or aid in determining value. We utilize a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1		Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2		Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

Level 3		Unobservable inputs where there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

We do not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or a non-recurring basis. Consequently, we did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value at December 31, ~~2015~~2016 or ~~2014~~2015, nor any gains or losses reported in the consolidated statement of operations that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date for the years ended December 31, ~~2015~~2016 and ~~2014~~2015.

Revenue recognition

We recognize revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been performed, (iii) amounts are fixed or determinable and (iv) collectibility of amounts is reasonably assured.

Revenues from the sale of products, including shipping and handling fees but excluding statutory taxes collected from customers, as applicable, are recognized when shipment has occurred. We sell our products directly to customers and distributors. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via order and invoice, product delivery is evidenced by a bill of lading from the third -party carrier and title transfers upon shipment, the sales price to the customer is fixed upon acceptance of the order and there is no separate sales rebate, discount, or volume incentive. Allowances for product returns, primarily in connection with one distribution agreement, are provided at the time the sale is recorded. This allowance is based upon historical return rates for the Company and relevant industry patterns, which reflects anticipated returns of unopened product in its original packaging to be received over a period of 120 days following the original sale.

Shipping and handling costs

Amounts charged to customers for shipping products are included in revenues and the related costs are classified in cost of goods sold as incurred. In ~~2015~~2016 and ~~2014~~2015, we incurred $2714,~~848~~904 and $3427,~~286~~848, respectively, in shipping costs included in cost of goods sold.

Advertising costs

Costs associated with the advertising of our products are expensed as incurred.

Table of Contents

Research and development

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development costs consist primarily of material and testing costs for research and development as well as research and development arrangements with unrelated third party research and development institutions. These research and development arrangements usually involve one specific research and development project. We may make non-refundable advances upon signing of these arrangements. Non-refundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and capitalized. Such amounts are recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or as the related services are performed. Management periodically evaluates whether the goods will be delivered or services will be rendered. If management does not expect the goods to be delivered or services to be rendered, the capitalized advance payment is charged to expense. Research and development expense was $7337,~~394~~750 and $2473,~~523~~394 in ~~2015~~2016 and ~~2014~~2015, respectively and are classified as general and administrative on the consolidated statement of operations.

Equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services

We account for all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur. ~~Currently~~However, ~~such~~where ~~transactions~~reliable, reputable third-party appraisals are ~~primarily~~available, these are used to determine value or aid in determining value. Such transactions have included both common stock or awards of warrants to purchase common stock.

The fair value of each warrant award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model.

The assumptions used to determine the fair value of our warrants are as follows:

-	The expected life of warrants issued represents the period of time the warrants are expected to be outstanding.

-	The expected volatility is generally based on the historical volatility of comparable companies’ stock over the contractual life of the warrant.

-	The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the contractual life of the warrant.

-	The expected dividend yield is based on our current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the contractual life of the warrant.

During 2015 and 2014, we issued restricted common stock, warrants and non-statutory stock options to attorneys, scientific, marketing and financial consultants and our external contract accountants. The value of these instruments equal $384,922 of the total $589,616 for 2015 and $257,689 of the total $642,897 for 2014.

Income taxes

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in our consolidated statements of income in the period that includes the enactment date.

We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in our consolidated financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Should they occur, our policy is to classify interest and penalties related to tax positions as income tax expense.

The tax years that are open to examination are ~~2012,~~ 2013, 2014, 2015 and ~~2015~~2016.

Net loss per common share

Basic and diluted net loss per share has been computed by dividing our net loss by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding. Convertible preferred stock, options and warrants to purchase our common stock as well as debt which are convertible into common stock are anti-dilutive and therefore are not included in the determination of the diluted net loss per share for ~~2015~~2016 and ~~2014~~2015. The following table presents a reconciliation of basic loss per share and excluded dilutive securities:

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements and footnotes in order to conform to the current period's presentation.

Segments

We have determined that we operate in one segment for financial reporting purposes.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory: Topic 330 (ASU 2015-11). Topic 330 currently requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. Market could be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. ASU 2015-11 requires that inventory measured using either the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost method be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Adoption of ASU 2015-11 is required for fiscal reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect adoption of ASU 2015-11 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU-2016-09). The updated guidance simplifies and changes how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payment awards to employees, including accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification of certain items in the statement of cash flows. Adoption of ASU 2016-09 is required for fiscal reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years with early adoption being permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In May 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. This new standard will replace all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance will be effective for Entia in the first quarter of 2018, and can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on our financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This update requires organizations to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and ~~also~~to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual period. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5 – PATENTS AND LICENSES, NET

Our identifiable long-lived intangible assets are patents and licenses. During ~~2015~~2016 and ~~2014~~2015, management analyzed our intangibles for possible impairment. We have recorded for ~~2015~~2016 and ~~2014~~2015 an impairment in the amount of $~~110~~49,~~000~~895 and $27110,~~080~~000, respectively. We have no amortizable licenses on the financial statements at December 31, 2016.

~~The~~Prior to being fully impaired, the licenses ~~are~~were being amortized over an economic useful life of 15-17 years. The gross carrying amounts and accumulated amortization related to these intangible assets consist of the following at:

	December 31, 2015			December 31, 2014
	December 31, 2016			December 31, 2015

NOTE 8 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

~~Debt~~Investments ~~agreements~~and loans from officers or board ~~member~~members

On ~~July~~February 118, ~~2014~~2016, ~~we entered into a promissory note due on October 31, 2014 at 0% in the principal amount of $15,000 with Dr. Philip Sobol, a former member of~~ our ~~board~~Chairman ~~of directors. In conjunction with the note, we granted Dr. Sobol a five-year warrant to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share~~ and ~~fully~~Chief ~~vests~~Science ~~upon receipt of monies. We calculated a discount on the granting of the warrants in the amount of $5,445~~ and ~~expensed~~Technology ~~this~~Officer ~~during~~lent ~~the~~us ~~third quarter to interest expense. The note also contained a conversion feature where Dr. Sobol can convert the note into common stock at~~ $~~0.50 per share. We calculated and posted a discount related to this conversion feature of $7~~10,~~545~~000 ~~and~~in ~~amortized it during~~ the ~~third~~form ~~quarter 2014. During third quarter 2014, we agreed to an extension~~ of ~~the note until November 2015. In exchange for the extension, we issued~~ a ~~seven-year~~10% ~~warrant~~unsecured ~~to purchase 15,000 shares of Entia’s common stock at $0.20 per share. The extension also changed the conversion price on the~~ note ~~from $0.50 per share to $0.30 per share. We posted a discount related to the new warrants of $3~~,~~435~~ ~~and will amortize this over~~ the ~~life~~due ofdate ~~the loan to interest expense. We also posted a discount related to the beneficial conversion feature~~ of ~~$3,285~~which ~~and~~has ~~will~~been ~~amortize~~extended ~~this over the life of the loan~~ to ~~interest~~August ~~expense~~2017. In addition, we also calculated the difference in fair value related to the modification of the conversion price. Management decided not to post the difference as it was immaterial. As of December 31, 2015, we have been negotiating a conversion of this note into a convertible debenture. In addition, in December, 2015, Dr. Sobol resigned his position on the board of directors of Entia Biosciences, Inc.

At December 31, ~~2015~~2016 and ~~2014~~2015, the weighted-average Black-Scholes value of warrants granted was $0.1405 and $0.3914, respectively.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES

For the years ended December 31, ~~2015~~2016, and ~~2014~~2015, we incurred net operating losses and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. At December 31, ~~2015~~2016, we had approximately $45,~~328~~715,~~688~~364 of net operating losses. The net operating loss carryforwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2026.

The components of our deferred tax assets/liabilities as of December 31, are as follows:

Table of Contents

For financial reporting purposes, we have incurred a loss in each period since inception. Based on the available objective evidence, including our history of losses, ~~management~~we ~~believes~~believe it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, we provided for a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets at December 31, ~~2015~~2016, and ~~2014~~2015. A reconciliation between the amount of income tax benefit determined by applying the applicable U.S. statutory income tax rate to pre-tax loss for the years ended December 31, is as follows:

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

The Company has a lease agreement with on its headquarters facilities that expires in ~~May~~August 2018. The lease terms include a base monthly rental rate of $3,343 per month, increasing to $3,410 in August 2016, and then $3,478 in August 2017. The Company has analyzed the requirement to straight-line the full value of the lease agreement over the life of the lease and has determined that there is no need to book a deferred rent liability as the amount is immaterial.

Future minimum lease payments for all of our facilities amount to $~~57,422 for 2016, $~~58,298 for 2017 and $37,974 through August 2018. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, ~~2015~~2016 and ~~2014~~2015 was $5556,~~464~~670 and $4755,~~988~~464, respectively.

Employment Agreements

During 2015, the Company entered into employment agreements with its CEO, COO/CFO and CSO. Commencement of payment of the base salaries under these employment agreements was, and continues to be, conditional on fundraising results. Management determined that no base salary for the CEO or CSO would be accrued or paid for 2015, based primarily upon the financial needs of the Company through the end of that year. Payment of base salary commenced for the COO/CFO in December 2015. We commenced accrual for payment of base salaries commenced for the CEO and CSO on January 1, 2016.

Litigation

AtDuring ~~December 31~~2016, ~~2015,~~ we were ~~and continue to be a party to litigation with respect to a note payable, with a face amount of $50,000 and the accrued interest thereon. Additionally, we are~~ involved in arbitration with a former employee who ~~has~~had made claims against us in connection with his Separation and Release Agreement, along with other potential allegations seeking approximately $93,000, plus punitive damages.

Although we were not party to litigation at December 31, 2016, during the first quarter 2017, we became a party to litigation with respect to a particular note payable, with a face amount of $50,000 and the accrued interest thereon. We had previously been party to litigation with respect to this note, but with a different plaintiff who dropped that lawsuit without prejudice. The Company will defend itself vigorously and reserves the right to make counter claims against the adversarial parties. Although we believe that this situation will be settled in due time, without material effect to the Company or its future operations, we can offer no assurance to that effect.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants On Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of those internal controls. As defined by the SEC, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by our principal executive officer/principal financial and accounting officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, December 31, ~~2015~~2016, we initially carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Finance and Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Finance and Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to our limited staffing, among other reasons.

Management's Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

·	Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

·	Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

As of December 31, ~~2015~~2016, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Finance and Accounting Officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered ~~to be~~ material weaknesses.

4546

Table of Contents

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes; and (4) inadequate control over contracts and commitments. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Finance and Accounting Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of December 31, ~~2015~~2016. These material weaknesses were also identified in our annual evaluation as of December 31, ~~2014~~2015.

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 SEC rules that permit smaller reporting issuers like us to provide only the management's report in this annual report.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations from our executive officers and directors concerning the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2015~~2016, some of our officers and directors may not have timely filed the required reports. The Company is in the process of correcting the situation and ensuring compliance.

Code of Ethics

We have not adopted a Code of Ethics for the Board nor any salaried employees.

Audit Committee and Financial Expert

We do not have an Audit Committee; our directors perform some of the same functions of an Audit Committee, such as: recommending a firm of independent certified public accountants to audit the annual financial statements; reviewing the independent auditor’s independence, the financial statements and their audit report; and reviewing management’s administration of the system of internal accounting controls. We do not currently have a written audit committee charter.

We have no financial expert. We believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because of our start-up operations and financial experience of our officers, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.

In addition, Dr. Hausman was issued 834,233 shares of common stock in lieu of cash for accrued consulting fees due to Dr. Hausman and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the aggregate amount of $300,300. The employment agreement was for a one year term that automatically extended for additional one-year terms until terminated by either party. The term of the agreement was to end immediately upon Dr. Hausman’s death, or upon his termination for cause, disability or his resignation for good reason. In the case of Dr. Hausman’s death, all compensation under the agreement was to cease. Under the agreement, Entia or Dr. Hausman could have elected not to renew the employment agreement by giving at least 60 days written notice prior to the termination date of the current term. Upon termination for cause by Entia, after a cure period of at least 10 days, all compensation was to have ceased and all unvested equity compensation was to expire. In the event Dr. Hausman terminated his relationship with Entia for “Good Reason,” as defined in the Employment Agreement, within six months of the occurrence of the event which established the “Good Reason,” or for “Good Reason” within six months of a change of control, Dr. Hausman was to receive an amount equal to 12 months of base salary for the then current term.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.

The following table presents information, to the best of our knowledge, about the ownership of our common stock on ~~April~~May 148, ~~2016~~2017 relating to those persons known to beneficially own more than 5% of our capital stock ~~and~~or by our named executive officers and directors. The percentage of beneficial ownership for the following table is based on 2833,~~134~~660,~~777~~947 shares of common stock outstanding

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes those shares of common stock over which the stockholder has sole or shared voting or investment power. It also includes shares of common stock that the stockholder has a right to acquire within 60 days after March 31, ~~2016~~2017, pursuant to options, warrants, conversion privileges or other right. The percentage ownership of the outstanding common stock, however, is based on the assumption, expressly required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, that only the person or entity whose ownership is being reported has converted options or warrants into shares of Entia Biosciences, Inc.’s common stock.

We believe that all persons named have full voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated, unless otherwise noted in the table. Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a person (or group of persons) is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if he or she, directly or indirectly, has or shares the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. Accordingly, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security, which that person has the right to acquire within 60 days, such as options or warrants to purchase our common stock.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

On December 20, 2011, we entered into an Amendment No. 1 to Promissory Note with Marvin S. Hausman, M.D., our Chief Executive Officer and Philip Sobol, a director, whereby Dr. Hausman and Dr. Sobol agreed to extend the maturity date of the Promissory Note dated December 30, 2009 in the principal amount of $50,000 from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2013. The interest rate on the note remains 6% per annum. In exchange for the extension of the maturity date, Drs. Hausman and Sobol were each given a five-year warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at $0.60 per share with warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock to each of Drs. Hausman and Sobol vesting immediately and the remaining warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock each vesting monthly over a two-year period. The other provisions of the Promissory Note remain the same. On June 4, 2013, the note plus accrued interest of $11,812 was converted into Series A Preferred stock at $5.00 per share.

On February 18, 2016, our Chairman and Chief Science and Technology Officer lent us $10,000 in the form of a 10% unsecured note, the due date of which has been extended to August 2017.

On May 20, 2016, our Chief Executive Officer invested $25,000 in our 8% convertible note payable (with an attached warrant), due May 2019.

On December 5, 2016, our Chairman and Chief Science and Technology Officer invested $10,000 in our 10% convertible promissory note (with an attached warrant), due December 2017.

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors has determined that none of our three directors are currently “independent directors” as that term is defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Marketplace Rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers. We are not presently required to have a majority of independent directors. If we ever become a listed issuer whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange or on an automated inter-dealer quotation system of a national securities association, which has independent director requirements, we intend to comply with all applicable requirements relating to director independence.

(1) “Audit fees” consists of the aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements and review of interim financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years.

Audit Committee Policies and Procedures

We do not have an audit committee; therefore, our board of directors pre-approves all services to be provided to us by our independent auditor. This process involves obtaining (i) a written description of the proposed services, (ii) the confirmation of our Principal Accounting Officer that the services are compatible with maintaining specific principles relating to independence, and (iii) confirmation from our securities counsel that the services are not among those that our independent auditors have been prohibited from performing under SEC rules. Our directors then make a determination to approve or disapprove the engagement of Peterson Sullivan LLP, for the proposed services.
