CALMARE THERAPEUTICS INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim condensed consolidated financial information presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes hereto is unaudited.

Effective August 20, 2014, Competitive Technologies, Inc. changed its name to Calmare Therapeutics Incorporated.

Calmare Therapeutics Incorporated (“CTI”) and its majority-owned (56.1%) subsidiary, Vector Vision, Inc. (“VVI”), (collectively, the “Company”, “we” or “us”) is a biotechnology company developing and commercializing innovative products and technologies. CTI is the licensed distributor of the non-invasive Calmare^® pain therapy device (the “Calmare Device”), which was developed to treat neuropathic and cancer-derived pain.

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CTI and VVI. Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

We believe we have made all adjustments necessary, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, to present the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2015.

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 24, 2015.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we had a significant concentration of revenues from the Calmare^®Device. The percentages of gross revenue attributed to sales and rentals of Calmare Devices, in the three months ended March 31, 2015, were 74%; and 98% in the three months ended March 31, 2014. Additionally, the percentage of gross revenue attributed to other Calmare Device related sales of equipment and training, in the three months ended March 31, 2015, was 16%; and 1%, in the three months ended March 31, 2014. We continue to attempt to expand our sales activities for the Calmare Device and expect the majority of our revenues to come from this technology.

The Company has incurred operating losses since fiscal 2006 and has a working capital and shareholders’ deficiency at March 31, 2015. The Company has taken steps to manage its operating expenses as well as increase revenue from sales of Calmare Devices and related sales. However, even at the reduced spending levels, should the anticipated increase in revenue from sales of Calmare Devices and related sales not occur the Company may not have sufficient cash flow to fund operations through 2015 and into 2016. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include adjustments to reflect the possible future effect of the recoverability and classification of assets or amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its developing recurring revenue streams sufficient to cover operating costs. The Company does not have any significant individual cash or capital requirements in the budget going forward. If necessary, CTI will attempt to meet anticipated operating cash requirements by further reducing costs, issuing debt and/or equity, and/or pursuing sales of certain assets and technologies while we pursue licensing and distribution opportunities for our remaining legacy portfolio of technologies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in such efforts. Failure to develop a recurring revenue stream sufficient to cover operating expenses could negatively affect the Company’s financial position.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued)

CALMARE THERAPEUTICS INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARY

Our liquidity requirements arise principally from our working capital needs, including funds needed to sell our current technologies and obtain new technologies or products, and protect and enforce our intellectual property rights, if necessary. We fund our liquidity requirements with a combination of cash on hand, debt and equity financing, sales of common stock and cash flows from operations, if any, including royalty legal awards. At March 31, 2015, the Company had outstanding debt in the form of promissory notes with a total principal amount of $3,477,000 and a carrying value of $3,287,000.

The Company acquired the exclusive, worldwide rights to the Scrambler Therapy® technology in 2007. The Company’s original 2007 agreement with Giuseppe Marineo (the “Scrambler Therapy Agreement”), an inventor of Scrambler Therapy technology, and Delta Research and Development (“Delta”), authorized CTI to manufacture and sell worldwide the device developed from the patented Scrambler Therapy technology. The original agreement was amended in 2011 to provide the Company with exclusive rights to the Scrambler Therapy technology through March 31, 2016. In July 2012, the Company attempted to negotiate a five-year extension to the agreement with Marineo and Delta (the “2012 Amendment”). However, the Company believes that the 2012 Amendment is neither valid nor enforceable as it was never duly signed or authorized and subsequently deemed null and void (see Footnote 13. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND CONTINGENCIES, CTI’s Distribution Rights, Marineo and Delta). The Scrambler Therapy technology is patented in Italy and in the U.S. Applications for patents have been filed internationally as well and are pending approval. The Calmare Device has CE Mark certification from the European Union as well as U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance. CTI’s partner, GEOMC Co., Ltd. (“GEOMC”) of Korea, is manufacturing the product commercially under a ten (10) year agreement through 2017. Sales of these devices are expected to provide a significant proportion of the Company’s revenue through the term of the agreement.

2. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

The following sets forth the denominator used in the calculations of basic net loss per share and net loss per share assuming dilution:

	Three months ended		Three months ended
	March 31, 2015		March 31, 2014
Denominator for basic net loss per share, weighted average shares outstanding		26,767,978		20,036,240

Dilutive effect of common stock options		N/A		N/A

Dilutive effect of Series C convertible preferred stock, convertible debt and warrants		N/A		N/A
Denominator for diluted net loss per share, weighted average shares outstanding		26,767,978		20,036,240

Due to the net loss incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and 2014, the denominator used in the calculation of basic net loss per share was the same as that used for net loss per share, assuming dilution, since the effect of any options, convertible preferred shares, convertible debt or warrants would have been anti-dilutive.

Potentially dilutive securities outstanding are summarized as follows:

	March 31, 2015		March 31, 2014
Exercise of common stock options		1,742,500		1,409,000
Exercise of common stock warrants		5,727,251		2,393,891
Conversion of Series C convertible preferred stock		1,470,588		1,176,471
Conversion of convertible debt		6,306,802		4,808,776
Total		15,247,141		9,788,138

3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, as amended by ASU 2015-14, that outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue recognition and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The amendments in this accounting standard update are intended to provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improve comparability of revenue recognition practices, and improve disclosure requirements. The amendments in this accounting standard update are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017; with early adoption permitted after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, which provides guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and the related footnote disclosure. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financials are issued. When management identifies conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, the ASU also outlines disclosures that are required in the company’s footnotes based on whether or not there are any plans intended to mitigate the relevant conditions or events to alleviate the substantial doubt. The ASU becomes effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2017, and for any annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory – Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which requires that inventory be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Prior to the issuance of the new guidance, inventory was measured at the lower of cost or market. Replacing the concept of market with the single measurement of net realizable value is intended to create efficiencies for preparers. Inventory measured using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method and the retail inventory method are not impacted by the new guidance. The ASU becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods with those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. We do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

4. RECEIVABLES

Receivables consist of the following:

	March 31, 2015		December 31, 2014
Calmare device sales receivable, net of allowance of $209,533 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014	$	—	$	—
Royalties, net of allowance of $101,154 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014		—	—
Other, net of allowance of $6,972 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014		3,391		2,319
Total	$	3,391	$	2,319

5. AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE AND EQUITY SECURITIES

The fair value of the equity securities we held were categorized as available-for-sale securities, which were carried at a fair value of zero, consisted of shares in Security Innovation and Xion Pharmaceutical Corporation (“Xion”). We own 223,317 shares of stock in the privately held Security Innovation, an independent provider of secure software located in Wilmington, MA.

In September 2009 we announced the formation of a joint venture with Xion for the commercialization of our patented melanocortin analogues for treating sexual dysfunction and obesity. CTI currently owns 60 shares of common stock or 30% of the outstanding stock of privately held Xion. The Company has been notified that Xion Pharmaceutical Corporation will be dissolved in 2015 with no financial impact to the Company.

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMEMENTS

The Company measures fair value in accordance with Topic 820 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described as follows:

Level 1 -	Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 -	Inputs to the valuation methodology include:
	●	Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
	●	Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
	●	Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;
	●	Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
	If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 -	Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued)
CALMARE THERAPEUTICS INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARY

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The Company values its derivative liability associated with the variable conversion feature on its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (Note 12) based on the market price of its common stock. For each reporting period the Company calculates the amount of potential common stock that the Series C Preferred Stock could convert into based on the conversion formula (incorporating market value of our common stock) and multiplies those converted shares by the market price of its common stock on that reporting date. The total converted value is subtracted by the consideration paid to determine the fair value of the derivative liability. The Company classified the derivative liability of $66,000 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation method is appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The carrying amounts reported in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for cash, accounts receivable, notes payable, deferred revenue, and preferred stock liability approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of those financial instruments.

9. ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER LIABILITIES

Accrued expenses and other liabilities consist of the following:

	March 31, 2015		December 31, 2014
Royalties payable	$	319,417	$	314,787
Accrued compensation		75,981		23,573

Other		257,242		264,163
Accrued expenses and other liabilities, net	$	1,776,041	$	1,590,182

Excluded above is approximately $217,000 of accrued expenses and other liabilities at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, that fall under the Liability Purchase Agreement (“LPA”) with ASC Recap, LLC (“ASC Recap”), and are expected to be repaid using the process as described in Note 10. Because there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in completing this process, the Company retains ultimate responsibility for these liabilities, until fully paid down.

10. LIABILITIES ASSIGNED TO LIABILITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT

During 2013, the Company negotiated a LPA with Southridge, Partners II, L.P. (“Southridge”). The LPA takes advantage of a provision in the Securities Act of 1933, Section 3(a)(10), that allows the exchange of claims, securities, or property for stock when the arrangement is approved for fairness by a court proceeding. The process, approved by the court in August 2013, has the potential to eliminate nearly $2.1 million of our financial obligations to existing creditors who agreed to participate and executed claims purchase agreements with Southridge’s affiliate ASC Recap accounting for $2,093,303 of existing payables, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and notes payable. The process began with the issuance in September 2013 of 1,618,235 shares of the Company’s common stock to ASC Recap. During September and October 2013, ASC Recap sold the Company’s common stock and during the three months ended March 31, 2014 paid creditors approximately $80,000 from the proceeds and retained a service fee of approximately $27,000. During 2014, the Company also made cash payments of $18,000 for accrued expenses previously included in the LPA amount. As of October 13, 2015, no further shares of the Company’s common stock had been issued to ASC Recap to settle creditors’ balances.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in completing this process with Southridge, and the Company retains ultimate responsibility for this debt, until fully paid.

90 day Convertible Notes

The Company has issued 90-day notes payable to borrow funds from a director, now the chairman of our Board, as follows:

2013	$	1,188,980
2012		1,210,000
2011		100,000
Total	$	2,498,980

These notes have been extended several times and all bear 6.00% simple interest. A conversion feature was added to the Notes when they were extended, which allows for conversion of the eligible principal amounts to common stock at any time after the six month anniversary of the effective date – the date the funds are received – at a rate of $1.05 per share. Additional terms have been added to all Notes to include additional interest of 1% simple interest per month on all amounts outstanding for all Notes if extended beyond their original maturity dates and to provide the lender with a security interest in unencumbered inventory and intangible assets of the Company other than proceeds relating to the Calmare Device and accounts receivable.

Due to the Board’s February 10, 2014 decision authorizing management to nullify certain actions taken by prior management, the additional terms noted above were not approved and therefore, the additional interest for the extension of the Notes was not recorded. During 2014 and 2015, management has been in negotiations to modify the terms of the Notes. However, until those negotiations are resolved, the Company has agreed to honor the additional terms and as such, the Company recorded additional interest of approximately $92,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, and has recorded cumulative additional interest in total of $711,000.

A total of $485,980 of the aforementioned notes issued between December 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013 fall under the LPA with ASC Recap, and are expected to be repaid using the process as described in Note 10. Because there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in completing this process, the Company retains ultimate responsibility for this debt, until fully paid down. As a result, the Company continues to accrue interest on these notes and they remain convertible as described above.

24 month Convertible Notes

In March 2012, the Company issued a 24-month convertible promissory note to borrow $100,000. Additional 24-month convertible promissory notes were issued in April 2012 ($25,000) and in June 2012 ($100,000). All of the notes bear 6.00% simple interest. Conversion of the eligible principal amounts to common stock is allowed at any time at a rate of $1.05 per share.

As of October 13, 2015 the Company has not repaid the principal due on the March 2012 $100,000 note, the April 2012 $25,000 note or the June 2012 $100,000 note and is in default under the terms of the notes. There is also unpaid interest of $32,000 related to these notes.

10 day Note

In late December 2014, the Company issued a 10 day non-interest bearing note to a Board member in the amount of $42,500. This note was repaid in early January 2015.

Series A 15% Original Issue Discount (“OID”) Convertible Notes and Warrants

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company did a private offering of convertible notes and warrants, under which it issued $64,706 of convertible promissory notes for consideration of $55,000, the difference between the proceeds from the notes and principal amount consists of $9,706 of original issue discount. The notes are convertible at an initial conversion price of $0.25 per share any time after issuance thereby having an embedded beneficial conversion feature.

The note holders were also issued market-related warrants for 129,412 in shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.60 and a term of 2 years. The beneficial conversion feature, if any, and the warrants were recorded to additional paid-in-capital. The Company allocated the proceeds received to the notes, the beneficial conversion feature and the warrants on a relative fair value basis at the time of issuance. The total debt discount is amortized over the life of the notes to interest expense.

The beneficial conversion feature was valued at the intrinsic value on the issuance date. The intrinsic value represents the difference between the conversion price and the fair value of the common stock multiplied by the number of share into which the note is convertible. We estimated the fair value of the warrants on the issue date using a Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions:

	Warrants
Expected term		2 years
Volatility		184.88	%
Risk Free Rate		0.32	%

The proceeds of the Notes issued during the three months ended March 31, 2014 were allocated to the components as follows:

	Proceeds allocated at issue date
Private Offering Notes	$	32,390
Private Offering Warrants		14,845
Beneficial Conversion feature		7,765
Total	$	55,000

During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, a holder of OID convertible notes and warrants delivered to the Company a notice of conversion related to the OID convertible notes. Additionally, the Company offered Noteholder an inducement to convert his/her notes to shares. The inducement provided the Noteholder a conversion price of $0.20. All other original terms, including the warrant terms, remained the same. Upon notice of conversion the Company: (i) accelerated and recognized as interest expense in the current period any remaining discount, and (ii) recognized a loss for the fair value of the additional shares offered as the conversion inducement. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had not issued the shares due related to the conversion notice.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company did a private offering of convertible notes and warrants, under which it issued $80,000 of convertible promissory notes for consideration of $65,000, the difference between the proceeds from the notes and principal amount consists of $15,000 of original issue discount. The notes are convertible at an initial conversion price of $0.35 per share any time after issuance thereby having an embedded beneficial conversion feature. The note holders were also issued market-related warrants for 185,714 in shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.45 and a 4-year term. The beneficial conversion feature and the warrants were recorded to additional paid-in-capital. The Company allocated the proceeds received to the notes, the beneficial conversion feature and the warrants on a relative fair value basis at the time of issuance. The total debt discount is amortized over the life of the notes to interest expense.

The Series B OID notes included an anti-dilution provision that if the Company issues more than 20 million shares of its common stock, subject to certain exceptions, the conversion price of the notes and the conversion price of the warrants would be subject to an automatic pre-determined price adjustment. During the quarter ended December 31, 2014 the Series B OID noteholder and the Company agreed that this anti-dilution provision had been triggered and the OID note share conversion price was adjusted down to $0.23 per share, which increased the number of shares available upon conversion to 347,826. The anti-dilution provision in the Warrant changed the share purchase price downward to $0.33 per share but did not change the number of shares available under the Warrant.

As a result of the triggering of the above noted one time anti-dilution provision, the Company reallocated the proceeds of the Notes during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 as follows:

	Proceeds allocated at issue date

During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company did an additional private offering of convertible notes and warrants, under which it issued $302,353 of convertible promissory notes for consideration of $257,000, the difference between the proceeds from the notes and principal amount consists of $45,353 of original issue discount. The notes are convertible at an initial conversion price of $0.20 per share any time after issuance thereby having an embedded beneficial conversion feature.

Tonaquint 9% Original Issue Discount Convertible Notes and Warrants

During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Tonaquint, Inc., under which it was issued a $112,500 convertible promissory note in consideration for $100,000, the difference between the proceeds from the Note and the principal amount consisted of a $10,000 original issue discount and a carried transaction expense of $2,500. The original issue discount was being amortized over the life of the note. The note was convertible at an initial conversion price of $0.30 per share at any time, and contained a “down-round protection” feature that requires the valuation of a derivative liability associated with the note. The note bore interest at 7% and was due in May 2014. Tonaquint was also issued a market-related warrant for $112,500 in shares of common stock with a “cashless” exercise feature. The warrant had a $0.35 exercise price, a 5-year term and included a “down-round protection” feature that required it to be classified as a liability rather than as equity.

During the first quarter of 2014 the Company executed a debt settlement agreement with Tonaquint related to the note and warrant. The warrant was settled during the first quarter of 2014 for a cash payment of $98,000, resulting in a loss of $98,000. The note was settled during the second quarter of 2014 for cash payments totaling $144,000 ($20,000 paid in the first quarter of 2014 and $124,000 paid in the second quarter of 2014). Because the execution of the debt settlement agreement in the first quarter of 2014 resulted in a significant modification of the original terms of the note agreement, the Company adjusted the carrying value of the note in the first quarter of 2014 and recorded a related loss of approximately $34,000.

Southridge

During 2013, the Company issued a six-month $12,000 convertible note payable to Southridge to cover legal expenses as part of the LPA. The convertible note was convertible into the Company’s common stock at the greater of $0.25 or 85% of the average closing bid price during the five (5) trading days prior to conversion and was due in June 2014.

During the third quarter of 2014, the Company issued to Southridge 50,000 shares in exchange for and in full satisfaction for the note and recorded a $5,500 loss upon conversion of the note.

Stock Option Plan

On May 2, 2011 the Company adopted and executed the Employees’ Directors’ and Consultants Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company granted 50,000 options to non-employee directors which were fully vested upon issuance. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company granted 42,500 options to non-employee directors which were fully vested upon issuance.

We estimated the fair value of each option on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

	Three - months ended			Three - months ended
	March 31, 2015			March 31, 2014
Dividend yield (1)		0.00	%		0.00	%
Expected volatility (2)		164.5	%		118.5	%
Risk-free interest rates (3)		1.61	%		1.72	%
Expected lives (2)		5.0 YEARS			5.0 YEARS

	(1)	We have not paid cash dividends on our common stock since 1981, and currently do not have plans to pay or declare cash dividends. Consequently, we used an expected dividend rate of zero for the valuations.
	(2)	Estimated based on our historical experience. Volatility was based on historical experience over a period equivalent to the expected life in years.
	(3)	Based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rate with a term consistent with the expected life of the options granted.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized expense of $7,963 for stock options issued to directors and expense of $8,106 for stock options issued to employees.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recognized expense of $11,178 for stock options issued to directors and expense of $3,150 for stock options issued to employees.

Preferred Stock

Holders of 5% preferred stock are entitled to receive, if, as, and when declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefore, preferential non-cumulative dividends at the rate of $1.25 per share per annum, payable quarterly, before any dividends may be declared or paid upon or other distribution made in respect of any share of common stock. The 5% preferred stock is redeemable, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, on 30 days’ notice, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price of $25. In the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, the holders of preferred stock are entitled to $25 per share in cash before any distribution of assets can be made to holders of common stock.

Each share of 5% preferred stock is entitled to one vote. Holders of 5% preferred stock have no preemptive or conversion rights. The preferred stock is not registered to be publicly traded.

The rights of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are as follows:

Dividend rights – The shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock accrue a 5% cumulative dividend on a quarterly basis and is payable on the last day of each fiscal quarter when declared by the Company’s Board. As of March 31, 2015, dividends declared were $89,073, of which $4,623 were declared during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and $70,325 have not been paid and are shown in accrued and other liabilities at March 31, 2015.

Voting rights – Holders of these shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall have voting rights equivalent to 1,000 votes per $1,000 par value Series C Convertible Preferred share voted together with the shares of Common Stock

Liquidation rights – Upon any liquidation these Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shares shall be treated as equivalent to shares of Common stock to which they are convertible.

Conversion rights – Holder has right to convert each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price for each share of common stock equal to 85% of the lower of (a) the closing market price at the date of notice of conversion or (b) the mid-point of the last bid price and the last ask price on the date of the notice of conversion. The variable conversion feature creates an embedded derivative that was bifurcated from the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock on the date of issuance and was recorded at fair value. The derivative liability will be recorded at fair value on each reporting date with any change recorded in the Statement of Operations as an unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instrument.

The Company recorded a convertible preferred stock derivative liability of $66,177, associated with the 375 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The Company has classified the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock as a liability at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 because the variable conversion feature may require the Company to settle the conversion in a variable number of its common shares.

CTI’s Distribution Rights, Marineo and Delta

On April 8, 2014, Mr. Giuseppe Marineo, an inventor of the Calmare® pain therapy device, and Delta Research and Development (“Delta”), Mr. Marineo’s research company, and Delta International Services and Logistics (“DIS&L”), Delta’s commercial arm in which Mr. Marineo is the sole beneficiary of all proceeds as its founder and sole owner (collectively the “Group”), issued a press release (the “Group’s Press Release”) regarding CTI stating that the Company did not have authority to sell, distribute and manufacture the Calmare Device as an exclusive agent of the Group. CTI issued a corporate response in a press release dated April 11, 2014 stating that the Group’s Press Release was inaccurate and has since been purged by the overseeing body of wire services.

This issue between the Company and the Group is over the validity of a 2012 Amendment to a Sales and Representation Agreement (the “Amendment”) which, if valid and enforceable, may have compromised its rights to sell, distribute and manufacture the Calmare Device as an exclusive agent of the Group in the global marketplace, especially in the European, Middle Eastern and North African (“EMENA”) territory which was responsible for approximately 70% of gross Calmare Device sales in 2011. However, the Company believes that the Amendment is neither valid nor enforceable as it was never duly signed or authorized and subsequently deemed null and void as disclosed on April 16, 2014 in the Form 10-K filing. Therefore, the parties’ rights are determined by an earlier agreement whereby the Company possesses the authority to sell, distribute and manufacture the Calmare Device as a world-wide exclusive agent of the Group.

On April 16, 2014, counsel for the Group (“Group Counsel”) sent a cease and desist letter (“Cease and Desist Letter”) to the Company, requesting a confirmation that the Company would no longer hold itself out as an agent of the Group permitted to sell, distribute and manufacture the Calmare Device world-wide including the EMENA territory.

The Company responded on April 25, 2014 to the Cease and Desist Letter, disputing Group Counsel’s interpretation of the events surrounding the execution of the Amendment. At this time, the Company continues to work to find a reasonable and amicable resolution to the situation.

Authorized shares

Throughout the quarter ended March 31, 2015 and as of October 13, 2015, in the event that all of the outstanding securities issued by the Company were converted into shares of common stock at one time (the “Fully Diluted Shares”), whether exercisable or otherwise, the number of Fully Diluted Shares of common stock would exceed the number of currently authorized shares of the Company. If such an event were to happen, the Company could either (a) immediately effectuate a reverse stock split, which was approved by the Board of Directors and a majority of stockholders on August 14, 2014 or (b) call for a special general meeting of shareholders and request shareholder consent to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company. In either case, such actions would cure the common stock shortfall and return the Company to compliance with the common stock share count threshold as so delineated in the supporting financing agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company currently expects to request shareholder consent at the next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company, and, if received in either of the aforementioned cases, shall file a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares to a value larger than the number of Fully Diluted Shares.

Unsigned Agreements

The Company uses two unrelated firms to provide marketing and investor relations services, CME Acuity (“CMEA”) and Legend Capital Management (“LCM”), respectively. The LCM and CMEA agreements were not signed due to an inability to come to final terms due to certain nuances in either agreement that included but were not limited to assignment of human capital and allowable performance based bonus(es). However, from the start date until March 31, 2015, the respective firms were compensated for services rendered on a “pay-as-we go” basis (the “Arrangement”). The aforementioned Arrangement is expected to continue for the next few consecutive quarters until such time as their agreements can be consummated.

14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Our board of directors determined that when a director’s services are outside the normal duties of a director, we compensate the director at the rate of $1,000 per day, plus expenses, which is the same amount we pay a director for attending a one-day Board meeting. We classify these amounts as consulting expenses, included in personnel and consulting expenses.

At March 31, 2015, $2,598,980 of the outstanding Notes payable were Notes payable to related parties; $2,498,980 to the chairman of our Board and $100,000 to another director.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

From April 1, 2015 to October 13, 2015 the Company obtained additional funding, including $290,000 of equity funding and $600,000 of hybrid debt funding. From April 1, 2015 to October 13, 2015, the Company did a series of private offerings of its common stock and warrants, for consideration of $290,000. 1,450,000 shares of common stock were issued at a per share price of $0.20. The common stock holders were also issued warrants to purchase 725,000 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.60 and a 3-year term. From April 1, 2015 to October 13, 2015, the Company did a private offering of convertible notes and warrants, under which it issued $706,000 of convertible promissory notes for consideration of $600,000, the difference between the proceeds from the notes and principal amount consists of $106,000 of original issue discount. The notes are convertible at a conversion price of $0.25 per share. The note holder was also issued market-related warrants for 1,412,000 in shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.60 and a 1-year term.

Overview

Calmare Therapeutics Incorporated (“CTI”) was incorporated in Delaware in 1971, succeeding an Illinois corporation incorporated in 1968. CTI and its majority-owned subsidiary (collectively, “we,” “our,” or “us”), is a biotechnology company developing and commercializing innovative products and technologies. CTI is the licensed distributor of the non-invasive, Calmare pain therapy medical device, which was designed and developed to treat neuropathic and cancer-derived pain.

Effective August 20, 2014, CTI changed its name from Competitive Technologies, Inc. to Calmare Therapeutics Incorporated.

Since 2011, the Company has controlled the sales process for the Calmare Device. We are the primary obligor, responsible for delivering devices as well as training our customers in the proper use of the device. We deal directly with customers, setting pricing and providing training; contribute to the development, new specifications and changes thereto, and to select and contract with manufacturing partners; and retain significant credit risk for amounts billed to customers. Therefore, all product sales are recorded following a gross revenue methodology. We record in product sales, the total funds earned from customers and record the costs of the device as cost of product sales, with gross profit from product sales being the result.

Sales of our Calmare device continue to be the major source of revenue for the Company. The Company’s original 2007 agreement with Giuseppe Marineo (the “Scrambler Therapy Agreement”), an inventor of Scrambler Therapy technology (“ST”), and Delta Research and Development (“Delta”), authorized CTI to manufacture and sell worldwide the device developed from the patented ST. The original agreement was amended in 2011 to provide the Company with exclusive rights to the ST through March 31, 2016. In July 2012, the Company attempted to negotiate a five-year extension to the agreement with Marineo and Delta (the “2012 Amendment”). However, the Company believes that the 2012 Amendment is neither valid nor enforceable as it was never duly signed or authorized and subsequently deemed null and void . The Scrambler Therapy technology is patented in Italy and the U.S. Additional applications for patents have been filed internationally and are pending approval. The Calmare® device has CE Mark certification from the European Union as well as U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance.

CTI’s Distribution Rights, Marineo and Delta

On April 8, 2014, Mr. Giuseppe Marineo, an inventor of the Calmare Device, and Delta Research and Development (“Delta”), Mr. Marineo’s research company, and Delta International Services and Logistics (“DIS&L”), Delta’s commercial arm in which Mr. Marineo is the sole beneficiary of all proceeds as its founder and sole owner (collectively the “Group”), issued a press release (the “Group’s Press Release”) regarding CTI, stating that the Company did not have authority to sell, distribute and manufacture the Calmare Device as an exclusive agent of the Group. CTI issued a corporate response in a press release dated April 11, 2014 stating that the Group’s Press Release was inaccurate and has since been purged by the overseeing body of wire services.

This issue between the Company and the Group is over the validity of a 2012 Amendment to a Sales and Representation Agreement (the “Amendment”) which, if valid and enforceable, may have compromised its rights to sell, distribute and manufacture the Calmare Device as an exclusive agent of the Group in the global marketplace, especially in the European, Middle Eastern and North African (“EMENA”) territory which was responsible for approximately 70% of gross Calmare Device sales in 2011. However, the Company believes that the Amendment is neither valid nor enforceable as it was never duly signed or authorized and subsequently deemed null and void. Therefore, the parties’ rights are determined by an earlier agreement whereby the Company still possesses the authority to sell, distribute and manufacture Calmare Devices as a world-wide exclusive agent of the Group.

On April 16, 2014, counsel for the Group (“Group Counsel”) sent a cease and desist letter (“Cease and Desist Letter”) to the Company, requesting a confirmation that the Company would no longer hold itself out as an agent of the Group permitted to sell, distribute and manufacture Calmare Devices world-wide including the EMENA territory.

Presentation

All amounts in this Item 2 are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.

The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.

Results of Operations – Three months ended March 31, 2015 vs. three months ended March 31, 2014

Summary of Results

Our net loss, for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, increased to $1,004,000 or $0.04 per basic and diluted share as compared with a net loss of $726,000 or $0.04 per basic and diluted share for the comparable quarter of 2014. This net loss increase is largely attributable to a $213,000 decrease in products sales and a $112,000 increase in personnel and consulting expenses.

Revenue and Gross Profit from Sales

Revenue from the sale and shipment of Calmare® pain therapy medical devices (the “Devices”), in the three months ended March 31, 2015, decreased $213,000 to $8,000 as compared with $221,000 for the comparable quarter of 2014.

Cost of product sales, in the three months ended March 31, 2015, decreased $68,000 to $2,000 as compared with $221,000 for the comparable quarter of 2014. This decrease in cost of product sold is attributable to the decrease in sales.

Device sales, in the three months ended March 31, 2015, decreased with the sale of zero (0) Devices as compared with three (3) Device sales for the comparable quarter of 2014. Device sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were comprised of the earning of previously deferred revenue on one (1) U.S. private sector sale that was originally sold in 2014. Device sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were comprised of three (3) U.S. private sector sales.

Due to the relatively long sales cycle for a Device, Device sales and related revenues and expenses can and will vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

Other Revenue

Retained royalties, in the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $2,000, were substantially unchanged compared to $2,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Other income, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, was $9,000 as compared with $4,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2014. Other income includes:

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2015		Three Months Ended March 31, 2014
Training payments and the sale of supplies i.e., electrodes and cables for use with our Calmare Devices	$	3,000	$	2,000
Rental income from customers who were renting Calmare Devices from CTI	$	6,000	$	2,000

Expenses

Total expenses increased $137,000 or 15% to $1,021,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared with $884,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Total operating expenses increased $171,000 or 26% to $832,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared with $661,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Selling expenses decreased 99% or $71,000 to $1,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared with $72,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and reflects decreased commissions as a result of decreased Devices sales.

Personnel and consulting expenses, in the three months ended March 31, 2015, increased 28% or $112,000 to $507,000 as compared with $395,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2014. This increase is primarily related to an increase in consulting costs of $197,000, principally in the form of equity compensation (stock and warrants) in the areas of sales and investor advisory services, partially offset by an $87,000 decrease in personnel costs, principally related to incentive compensation.

General and administrative expenses, in the three months ended March 31, 2015, increased 67% or $130,000 to $324,000 as compared with $194,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase primarily reflects a $136,000 increase in litigation expenses (see Note 13 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements).

Interest expense, in the three months ended March 31, 2015, increased $81,000 or 77% to $186,000 as compared with $105,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily as a result of the 1% additional monthly interest for the 90 day Convertible Notes (see Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements).

Unrealized gain on derivative instruments, in the three months ended March 31, 2015, was zero, as compared with a $14,000 gain in the three months ended March 31, 2014. This reflects the impact of the movement in CTI’s share price on the Class C Preferred Stock at the end of each period.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Our liquidity requirements arise principally from our working capital needs, including funds needed to sell our current technologies and obtain new technologies or products, and protect and enforce our intellectual property rights, if necessary. We fund our liquidity requirements with a combination of cash on hand, debt and equity financing, sales of common stock and cash flows from operations, if any. At March 31, 2015, the Company had outstanding debt in the form of promissory notes with a total principal amount of $3,476,000 and a carrying value of $3,287,000.

Our future cash requirements depend on many factors, including results of our operations and marketing efforts, results and costs of our legal proceedings, and our equity financing. To achieve and sustain profitability, we are implementing a corporate reengineering effort, which commenced on September 26, 2013 under the direction of CTI’s new president & CEO, Mr. Conrad Mir. This plan design will change the inherent design of the current distributor network and focus on opportunities within the US Departments of Defense (the “DOD”) and Veterans Affairs (“VA”), and set out to upgrade CTI’s current U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance designation for the Calmare Device to approval. Although we cannot be certain that we will be successful in these efforts, we believe the combination of our cash on hand and revenue from executing our strategic plan will be sufficient to meet our obligations of current and anticipated operating cash requirements.

At March 31, 2015, cash was $500, as compared with $6,000 at December 31, 2014. Net cash used in operating activities was $(295,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $(212,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily reflecting an increase in net loss partially offset by an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities and non-cash equity expenses. There was minimal investing activity year to date in both 2015 and 2014. Net cash provided by financing activities was $290,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $502,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily as a result of the Company’s debt and equity financing activities in both periods.

We currently have the benefit of using a portion of our accumulated net operating losses (“NOLs”) to eliminate any future regular federal and state income tax liabilities. We will continue to receive this benefit until we have utilized all of our NOLs, federal and state. However, we cannot determine when and if we will be profitable enough to utilize the benefit of the remaining NOLs before they expire.

Authorized shares

Going Concern

The Company has incurred operating losses since fiscal 2006 and has a working capital and shareholders’ deficiency at March 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we had a significant concentration of revenues from our Calmare Device technology. We continue to seek revenue from new and existing technologies or products to mitigate the concentration of revenues, and replace revenues from expiring licenses on other technologies.

Although we have taken steps to significantly reduce operating expenses going forward, even at these reduced spending levels, should the anticipated increase in revenue from sales of Calmare® medical devices and other technologies not occur, the Company may not have sufficient cash flow to fund operations through 2015 and into 2016. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its developing recurring revenue streams sufficient to cover operating costs. The Company does not have any significant individual cash or capital requirements in the budget going forward. If necessary, CTI will meet anticipated operating cash requirements by further reducing costs, issuing debt and/or equity, and/or attempt to pursuing sales of certain assets and technologies while we pursue licensing and distribution opportunities for our remaining legacy portfolio of technologies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in such efforts. Failure to develop a recurring revenue stream sufficient to cover operating expenses could negatively affect the Company’s financial position.

Debt Financing

Details of notes payable as of March 31, 2015 are as follows:

	Principal Amount		Carrying Value			Cash Interest Rate			Common Stock Conversion Price		Maturity Date
90 day Convertible Notes (Chairman of the Board)	$	2,498,980	$	2,498,980			6	%	$	1.05	Various 2014
24 month Convertible Notes ($100,000 to Board member)		225,000		225,000			6	%		1.05	March 2014 – June 2014
Series A3 15% OID Convertible Notes and Warrants		11,765		14,353	⁽¹⁾		None			0.25	January 2015
Series B OID Convertible Notes and Warrants		80,000		59,474			None			0.23	March 2017
1 Year 15% OID Convertible Notes and Warrants		661,177		488,991			None			0.20	Aug. 2015 – Feb. 2016
Notes Payable, gross	$	3,476,922		3,286,798
Less LPA amount				(485,980	)
Notes Payable, net			$	2,800,818

(1) Includes $2,588 of accrued loss on conversion of OID note.

90 day Convertible Notes

The Company has issued 90-day notes payable to borrow funds from a director, now the chairman of our Board, as follows:

2013	$	1,188,980
2012		1,210,000
2011		100,000
Total	$	2,498,980

These notes have been extended several times and all bear 6.00% simple interest. A conversion feature was added to the Notes when they were extended, which allows for conversion of the eligible principal amounts to common stock at any time after the six month anniversary of the effective date – the date the funds are received – at a rate of $1.05 per share. Additional terms have been added to all Notes to include additional interest 1% simple interest per month on all amounts outstanding for all Notes if extended beyond their original maturity dates and to provide the lender with a security interest in unencumbered inventory and intangible assets of the Company other than proceeds relating to the Calmare Device and accounts receivable.

Due to the Board’s February 10, 2014 decision authorizing management to nullify certain actions taken by prior management, the additional terms noted above were not approved and therefore, the additional interest for the extension of the Notes was not recorded. During 2014, management has been in negotiations to modify the terms of the Notes. However, until those negotiations are resolved, the Company has agreed to honor the additional terms and as such, the Company recorded additional interest of approximately $92,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, and has recorded additional interest in total of $711,000.

A total of $485,980 of the aforementioned notes issued between December 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013 fall under the liabilities purchase agreement with ASC Recap, and are expected to be repaid using the process as described in Note 10. Because there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in completing this process, the Company retains ultimate responsibility for this debt, until fully paid down. As a result, the Company continues to accrue interest on these notes and they remain convertible as described above.

24 month Convertible Notes

Series A 15% Original Issue Discount Convertible Notes and Warrants

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company did a private offering of a third tranche of convertible notes and warrants, under which it issued $64,706 of convertible promissory notes for consideration of $55,000, the difference between the proceeds from the notes and principal amount consists of $9,706 of original issue discount. The notes are convertible at an initial conversion price of $0.25 per share any time after issuance thereby having an embedded beneficial conversion feature.

The note holders were also issued market-related warrants for 129,412 (third tranche) and 958,179 (all tranches) in shares of common stock. The warrants have exercise prices that range from $0.40 to $0.60 and a term of 2 years. The beneficial conversion feature, if any, and the warrants were recorded to additional paid-in-capital. The total debt discount is amortized over the life of the notes to interest expense.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, certain holders of OID convertible notes and warrants delivered to the Company a notice of conversion related to the OID convertible notes. Additionally, the Company offered certain Noteholders an inducement to convert their notes to shares. The inducement, when offered, provided Noteholders a conversion price of $0.20. All other original terms, including the warrant terms, remained the same. Upon notice of conversion Company: (i) accelerated and recognized as interest expense in the current period any remaining discount and (ii) recognized a loss for the fair value of the additional shares offered as the conversion inducement. AS of March 31, 2015, the Company had not issued the shares due related to the conversion notice.

Series B Original Issue Discount Convertible Notes and Warrants

The Series B OID notes include an anti-dilution provision that if the Company issues more than 20 million shares of its common stock, subject to certain exceptions, the conversion price of the notes and the conversion price of the warrants would be subject to an automatic pre-determined price adjustment. During the quarter ended December 31, 2014 the Series B OID noteholder and the Company agreed that this anti-dilution provision had been triggered and the OID note share conversion price was adjusted down to $0.23 per share, which increased the number of shares available upon conversion to 347,826. The anti-dilution provision in the Warrant changed the share purchase price downward to $0.33 per share but did not change the number of shares available under the Warrant.

1 Year 15% OID Convertible Notes and Warrants

Capital requirements

We continue to seek revenue from new technology licenses to mitigate the concentration of revenue, and replace revenue from expiring licenses. We have created a new business model for appropriate technologies that allows us to move beyond our usual royalty arrangement and share in the profits of distribution.

For 2015, we expect our capital expenditures to be less than $100,000.

Contractual Obligations and Contingencies

Contingencies

Our directors, officers, employees and agents may claim indemnification in certain circumstances.

Many of our license and service agreements provide that upfront license fees, license fees and/or royalties we receive are applied against amounts that our clients or we have incurred for patent application, prosecution, issuance and maintenance costs. If we incur such costs, we expense them as incurred, and reduce our expense if we are reimbursed from future fees and/or royalties we receive. If the reimbursement belongs to our client, we record no revenue or expense.

As of March 31, 2015, CTI and its majority-owned subsidiary, VVI, have remaining obligations, contingent upon receipt of certain revenue, to repay up to $165,788 and $198,334, respectively, in consideration of grant funding received in 1994 and 1995. CTI also is obligated to pay at the rate of 7.5% of its revenues, if any, from transferring rights to certain inventions supported by the grant funds. VVI is obligated to pay at rates of 1.5% of its net sales of supported products or 15% of its revenues from licensing supported products, if any.

Critical Accounting Estimates

There have been no significant changes in our accounting estimates described under the caption “Critical Accounting Estimates” included in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2014. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2015.

(b) Change in Internal Controls

During the period ending March 31, 2015, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during that period that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
