1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
On March 15, 2010 the Company changed its name to Inergetics, Inc. Inergetics, Inc. (the Company or "Inergetics"), formerly Millennium Biotechnologies Group, Inc., is a holding company for its subsidiary Millennium Biotechnologies, Inc. ("Millennium").
Millennium was incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 9, 2000 and is located in New Jersey. Millennium is a research based bio-nutraceutical corporation involved in the field of nutritional science. Millennium’s principal source of revenue is from sales of its nutraceutical supplements, Resurgex Select® and Resurgex Essential™ and Resurgex Essential Plus™ which serve as a nutritional support for immuno-compromised individuals undergoing medical treatment for chronic debilitating diseases.
The Company acquired Millennium on July 27, 2001, when it completed a merger with Millennium. In the merger, new Convertible Preferred Series D stock was issued in exchange for all the outstanding stock of Millennium. Such preferred shares were convertible into approximately 96% of the outstanding common stock of the Company at the time of issuance. Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, a new wholly-owned Inergetics subsidiary merged into Millennium. For accounting purposes, the merger was treated as an acquisition of Inergetics by Millennium, and a re-capitalization of Millennium. The financial statements are those of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Millennium on a consolidated basis.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Inergetics, Inc. and its subsidiary. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2009 audited financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.
Going Concern
The Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities, and upon additional financing. Management believes they can raise the appropriate funds needed to support their business plan and develop an operating company which is cash flow positive.
The Company incurred substantial net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and has accumulated a deficit of approximately $74 million at September 30, 2010. The Company has not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund its ongoing operations. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company’s operations presently consist almost exclusively of the operations of Millennium. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2010, the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, have been included.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation, which includes amortization of assets under capital leases, is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the underlying lease term. Repairs and maintenance expenditures which do not extend the useful lives of related assets are expensed as incurred.
Patents
Patents are capitalized and amortized over 240 months. Amortization expense was $432 and $432 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are assessed for recoverability on an ongoing basis. Their carrying value would be reduced by the excess, if any, of the long-lived asset over management’s estimate of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows of the related long-lived asset.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers provided that the resulting receivable is deemed probable of collection.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising expense was $4,354 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Stock-Based Awards
Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period of the grant). Compensation expense is recognized based on the estimated grant date fair value method using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company did not issue any stock options during the year ended December 31, 2009 and the period ended September 30, 2010.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expenses are expected to be settled in the Company’s income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating losses for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Loss Per Common Share
Net loss per share, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Common Stock equivalents have not been included in this computation since the effect would be anti-dilutive. During a loss period, the effect of the potential exercise of stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible debt are not considered in the diluted income (loss) per share calculation since the effect would be anti-dilutive. The results of operations were a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, therefore the basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding were the same.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For financial instruments including cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, short-term debt, accounts payable and accrued expenses, it was assumed that the carrying values approximated fair value because of their short-term maturities. The fair value of long-term debt issued during the debt restructuring in November 2009 approximates the carrying value on the balance sheet and includes a discount for the value of preferred stock issued in connection with this debt.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial statement. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
2. CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains cash balances in several financial institutions which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to certain federal limitations.
The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to customers located throughout the U. S. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS, Continued
In May 2009, the current holders of an aggregate of $884,968 principal amount of senior debt secured by the assets of the Company (“Senior Secured Notes”) threatened to foreclose on the Senior Secured Notes as a result of the Company’s default under the terms of the Senior Secured Notes. The perfected first lien and security interest securing the Senior Secured Notes were superior to all other liens, claims, judgments and other security interests in the Company. In May, 2009, a group of three investors, including Ken Sadowsky, a director of the Company, Leon Frenkel and Seahorse Enterprises (collectively, the “Creditor Investors”), purchased all of the Senior Secured Notes. By purchasing the Notes, the Creditor Investors relieved the Company of the difficulties associated with the previous holders of the Senior Secured Notes and the threat of immediate foreclosure. Also, the Creditor Investors provided an additional $924,000 in financing to the Company, enabling the Company to fund the manufacturing and production of products to fulfill outstanding key customer purchase orders. In November 2009, the Creditor Investors converted all of the above debt into 32.2 Units in the Private Placement.
As part of the debt restructuring discussed in November 2009, we granted management an aggregate of 15,500 shares of E Preferred (the “Performance Shares”), which represented such number of E Preferred that are convertible into common stock equal to 10% of the fully diluted common shares following December 15, 2009, the final closing date (the “Final Closing Date”) of the Private Placement. Pursuant to these management grants, Mark C. Mirken received 12,150 shares of E Preferred, Frank Guarino received 1,500 shares of E Preferred and Carl Germano received 1,500 shares of E Preferred. All of the foregoing shares of E Preferred automatically converted into shares of Common Stock on March 15, 2010 at the rate of 10,000 shares of Common Stock for each share of E Preferred. In the event that the gross revenue of our subsidiary, Millennium Biotechnologies, Inc., for the 12 month period immediately following the Final Closing Date (the “Target Period”) is less than $15 million (the “Target Revenue”), the number of Performance Shares shall be reduced by 10% for each $1 million under the Target Revenue and such number of reduced Performance Shares shall be issue to the purchasers of the Units in the Private Placement based upon the percentage of Units purchased by each such purchaser. The Target Period was to commence when we and/or our subsidiary had received at least $1,000,000 in working capital from any sources including from the net proceeds of the Private Placement. The right to so reduce and reallocate any portion of the Performance Shares is dependent on the Target Period commencing within 60 days of the Final Closing Date. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Performance Shares would not be reduced by more than 50% of the total Performance Shares issued. The $1,000,000 in working capital was not raised within the 60 days of the Final Closing Date therefore the Performance Shares were not reduced.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cautionary Statement Pursuant To "Safe Harbor" Provisions Of Section 21e Of The Securities Exchange Act Of 1934
Except for historical information, the Company's reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q and periodic press releases, as well as other public documents and statements, contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the statements. These risks and uncertainties include general economic and business conditions, development and market acceptance of the Company's products, current dependence on the willingness of investors to continue to fund operations of the Company and other risks and uncertainties identified in the risk factors discussed below and in the Company's other reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission, periodic press releases, or other public documents or statements.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to republish or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrences of unanticipated events.
Results of Operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2009:
Total revenues generated from the sales of Resurgex Essential™, Resurgex Essential Plus™, and Resurgex Select® for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 totaled $9,453, a decrease of 99% from the quarter ended September 30, 2009 which totaled $910,463. The primary reason for the significant decrease was due to lack of sales to our Greek distributor for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
At this stage in the Company’s development, revenues are not yet sufficient to cover ongoing operating expenses.
Gross profits for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 amounted to $4,081 for a 43% gross margin. Gross profits decreased $290,566 or 99% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to $294,647 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in gross profits is a result of 99% lower revenue due to economic conditions in the country of Greece.
After deducting research and development costs of $8,395 and selling, general and administrative expenses of $749,190, the Company realized an operating loss of $753,504 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. Operating losses of $753,504 increased $259,455 or 53% as compared to the third quarter of 2009 operating loss of $494,049. Non-operating expenses totaled $195,090 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 an decrease of 63% or $330,929 as compared to $526,019 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in non-operating expenses of $330,929 was primarily due to an decrease of $343,537 in interest and financing expense which occurred as a result of the debt restructuring which occurred in November 2009 and the conversion of the Unit Notes in June 2010. In September 2010, the Company recognized a gain on the extinguishment of debt net of debt discount in the amount of $24,429.
The net result for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was a loss of $948,594 or $0.00 per share, compared to a loss of $1,020,068 or $0.00 per share for the third quarter of 2009. The net loss for the third quarter of 2010 decreased by $71,474 or 7% as compared to the third quarter of 2009, primarily due to reduction in financing costs. Management will continue to make an effort to lower operating expenses and increase revenue. The Company will continue to invest in further expanding its operations and a comprehensive marketing campaign with the goal of accelerating the education of potential clients and promoting the name and products of the Company. Given the fact that most of the operating expenses are fixed or have quasi-fixed character management expects them to significantly decrease as a percentage of revenues as revenues increase.
Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009:
Total revenues generated from the sales of Resurgex Essential™, Resurgex Essential Plus™, and Resurgex Select® for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $133,362, a decrease of 90% from the nine months ended September 30, 2009 which totaled $1,347,878. The primary reason for the significant decrease was due to lack of sales to our Greek distributor for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
The Company’s revenues are not yet sufficient to cover ongoing operating expenses.
Gross profits for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 amounted to $54,559 for a 41% gross margin. Gross profits decreased $475,121 or 90% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $529,680 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in gross profits is a result of 90% lower revenue.
After deducting research and development costs of $23,761 and selling, general and administrative expenses of $2,464,317, which included $476,722 in non-cash outlays in the form of restricted stock and warrants issued for professional fees and compensation, the Company realized an operating loss of $2,433,519 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Operating losses of $2,433,519 increased $598,444 or 33% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009 which totaled an operating loss of $1,835,075. Non-operating expenses totaled $3,982,711 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 an increase of 70% or $1,646,236 as compared to $2,336,475 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in non-operating expenses of $1,646,236 was primarily due to an increase of $1,793,296 in interest and financing expense which occurred as a result of the debt restructuring which occurred in November 2009 and the conversion of the Unit Notes in June 2010. In the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized a gain on the extinguishment of debt net of debt discount in the amount of $380,529. Debt holders converted $2,047,083 of principal debt plus accrued interest into common stock at a price of $0.02 per share.
The net result for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was a loss of $6,416,230 or $0.01 per share, compared to a loss of $4,171,550 or $0.01 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased by $2,244,680 or 54% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009 primarily due to the lack of sales and interest and financing costs. Management will continue to make an effort to lower operating expenses and increase revenue. The Company will continue to invest in further expanding its operations and a comprehensive marketing campaign with the goal of accelerating the education of potential clients and promoting the name and products of the Company. Given the fact that most of the operating expenses are fixed or have quasi-fixed character management expects them to significantly decrease as a percentage of revenues as revenues increase.
Disclosure About Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements that constitute off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our consolidated condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this report.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities, and upon additional financing. Management believes they can raise the appropriate funds needed to support their business plan and develop an operating, cash flow positive company. The Company has been operating with negative cash flows for the past 10 years.
The Company incurred substantial net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009 and has accumulated a deficit of $73,775,654 at September 30, 2010. The Company has not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund its ongoing operations. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has never reported Net Income.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s business operations generally have been financed by debt investments through promissory notes with accredited investors. During the nine months of 2010, the Company obtained new equity capital from the issuance of promissory notes that supplied the majority of the funds that were needed to finance operations during the reporting period. Such new borrowings resulted in the receipt by the Company of $2,107,500. While these funds sufficed to compensate for the negative cash flow from operations they were not sufficient to build up a liquidity reserve. As a result, the Company’s financial position at the end of the reporting period showed a working capital deficit of $7,421,925. During the first nine months of 2010 the Company obtained new financing sufficient to fund ongoing working capital requirements. We need to continue to raise funds to cover working capital requirements until we are able to raise revenues to a point of positive cash flow.
Debt Transaction
In June 2009, the Company received a letter (the “Letter”) from the Creditor Investors proposing a restructuring plan, inter alia, providing for debtholders of the Company to convert their debt into Common Stock of the Company at a conversion rate of $.035 per share (the “Conversion Rate”). After careful review and analysis of the restructuring plan, the Company believed that the restructuring plan was in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders and it endorsed the restructuring plan and suggested that each of its debtholders convert their debt to equity as described in the Letter. The Letter advised the Company that if debtholders did not convert to Common Stock as described above, the Creditor Investors would initiate foreclosure proceedings on July 15, 2009. The Creditor Investors never initiated foreclosure proceedings.
Between June 2009 and June 2010, the Company contacted most of its debtholders offering them E Preferred Stock in exchange for their debt. E Preferred Stock was offered rather than Common Stock because the Company did not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized but unissued for the anticipated Debt Transaction. E Preferred Stock was automatically convertible into Common Stock at the rate of one share of E Preferred Stock for 10,000 shares of Common Stock if and when the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to sufficiently increase its authorized shares to, inter alia, provide for a sufficient amount of Common Stock for the Debt Transaction at the Conversion Rate. The certificate of incorporation was so amended on March 12, 2010, at which time all outstanding shares of E Preferred converted into Common Stock at the Conversion Ratio. A total of 22 debt holders converted an aggregate of $4,352,120 of debt pursuant to the Debt Transaction between June 2009 and June 30, 2010.
Private Placement
Between October and November 2009, the Company, along with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Millennium Biotechnologies, Inc. (the “Subsidiary”), raised $1,382,050 from the sale of 13.8205 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of a Senior Secured 12% thirty month $100,000 Note and 100 shares of the Company’s Series F Preferred Stock in the Private Placement. It also converted a total of approximately $3,220,000 of outstanding debt into an aggregate of 32.2 Units. These debtholders consisted of the Creditor Investors and nine other debtholders who held certain purchase order financing notes and/or subordinated notes.
After the initial closing of the Private Placement, the Company continued to offer Units on the same terms as those in the Private Placement pursuant to a second (continuation) private offering that terminated on June 30, 2010. In December 2009 the Company raised an additional $90,000 from the sale of 0.90 Units under the continuation offering. Through June 30, 2010, the Company raised an additional $1,280,260 form the sale of 12.80 Units under the continued offering.

Item 4. Control and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Management of the Company has evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as a result of the material weakness and significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, as of the September 30, 2010, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that the information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the evaluation, our management concluded that, as of September 30, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, that adversely affects the entity’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the entity’s financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal control. A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management identified the following material weakness and significant deficiencies in its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010:
| · | Material weakness: The Company did not maintain effective controls over certain aspects of the financial reporting process because we lacked a sufficient complement of personnel with a level of accounting expertise and an adequate supervisory review structure that is commensurate with the Company’s financial reporting requirements. |
| · | Significant deficiencies: |
| o | Inadequate segregation of duties |
| o | Untimely account reconciliations |
Nevertheless, based on a number of factors, including the performance of additional procedures performed by management designed to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe that the consolidated financial statements included with this periodic report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods, presented, in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principals.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company has evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, any change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in that evaluation that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting, other than what has been reported above.
