Supplemental disclosure of non-cash transactions:

During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company issued 500,000 shares with a fair value of $80,000 to an advisory firm for consulting services. The Company is amortizing the $80,000 over the service period and recorded $20,000 and $40,000 of expense in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. 

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company issued 120,000 shares to an advisory firm for consulting services. The shares vested in two tranches, with 60,000 shares vesting in the quarter ended December 31, 2014 and remaining 60,000 shares vesting in the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The Company recorded consulting expenses of $10,800 in the quarter ended December 31, 2014 and $27,600 of consulting expenses in the quarter ended March 31, 2015. In each instance, the expense was based on the fair value on the vesting date.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company issued 333,333 stock warrants for consulting services performed and recorded consulting expense of $75,000 for the fair value of the warrants.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company allocated $59,480 of convertible note proceeds for the fair value of warrants and beneficial conversion feature to additional paid-in capital.

 

In June 2014, the Company issued 798,825 shares of common stock upon conversion of OID notes (see Note 11).

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 and six months ended June 30, 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 and six months ended June 30, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2015, were 94% and 92%, respectively; and 98% in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.  Additionally, the percentage of gross revenue attributed to other Calmare Device related sales of equipment and training, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, was 5% and 6%, respectively; and 1%, in both the three and six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2015.  The Company has taken steps to reduce 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 June 30, 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 $3,349,000.

 

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  Six months ended  Six months ended
   June 30,
2015
  June 30,
2014
  June 30,
2015
  June 30,
2014
Denominator for basic net loss per share, weighted average shares outstanding   27,862,908    23,082,699    27,318,467    21,567,885 
                     
Dilutive effect of common stock options   N/A     N/A     N/A     N/A 
                     
Dilutive effect of Series C convertible preferred stock, convertible debt and warrants    N/A     N/A     N/A     N/A 
Denominator for diluted net loss per share, weighted average shares outstanding   27,862,908    23,082,699    27,318,467    21,567,885 

  

 Due to the net loss incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 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:

    June 30,
2015
  June 30,
2014
Exercise of common stock options   1,742,500    1,708,500 
Exercise of common stock warrants   6,452,248    2,818,890 
Conversion of Series C convertible preferred stock   1,329,646    1,297,578 
Conversion of convertible debt   6,305,390    4,649,011 
Total   15,829,784    10,473,979

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, 2016, 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.

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 approximately $77,000 at June 30, 2015 and $66,000 at 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:

 

    June 30,

Other     294,092     264,163  
Accrued expenses and other liabilities, net   $ 1,979,869   $ 1,590,182  

  

Excluded above is approximately $217,000 of accrued expenses and other liabilities at June 30, 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 November 30, 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 $188,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2015, and has recorded additional interest in total of $807,000.

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 November 30, 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. As of June 30, 2015, there is also unpaid interest of $25,000 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 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 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

Private Offering Notes   $ 32,390  
Private Offering Warrants     14,845

Total   $ 55,000  

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, certain holders of OID convertible notes and warrants delivered to the Company a notice of conversion related to the OID convertible notes. Due to the timing of receipt of the notices by the Company, certain Note holders (“Noteholders”) received their shares during the quarter ended June 30, 2014, while other Noteholders received or are due to receive their shares after June 30, 2014. 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 and irrespective of whether the shares were delivered in the quarter ended June 30, 2014 or subsequent to June 30, 2014 to 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.

Series B Original Issue Discount 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 $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 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

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.

 

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:

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. No options were granted during the three months ended June 30, 2015.

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.

 

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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 July 1, 2015 to November 30, 2015 the Company obtained additional funding, including $600,000 of hybrid debt funding. From July 1, 2015 to November 30, 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.

 

On September 15, 2015, the Company announced the appointment of Stephen J. D’Amato, M.D. as Chief Medical Officer of the Company. During 2010, CALMARx Pain Relief, LLC, purchased 10 Calmare devices from the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $550,000. Additionally, during 2015 and 2014, CALMARx purchased certain supplies from the Company. Dr. D’Amato is one of the owners and managers of CALMARx Pain Relief, LLC.

 

On October 15, 2015, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with VADM Robert T. Conway, Jr., U.S. Navy, (Ret) (the “Admiral”), a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. The agreement is for one year and includes compensation of a monthly retainer fee of $7,500 and a five year warrant to purchase 167,000 shares of common stock of the Company, fully vested on the date of issuance, at a strike price of $.60 per share with an aggregate estimate fair value of $33,734. As a result of this agreement, the Board of Directors has determined that the Admiral is no longer an independent director of the Company.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Statements about our future expectations are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable Federal Securities Laws, and are not guarantees of future performance. When used in herein, the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “expect,” “estimate,” “approximate,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks and uncertainties inherent in our business, including those set forth in Item 1A under the caption “Risk Factors,” in our most recent 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, and other filings with the SEC, and are subject to change at any time. Our actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement.

 

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.

 

22
 

 

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.

 

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. 

  

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 June 30, 2015 vs. three months ended June 30, 2014

 

Summary of Results

 

Our net loss, for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, decreased to $779,000 or $0.03 per basic and diluted share as compared with a net loss of $791,000 or $0.03 per basic and diluted share for the comparable quarter of 2014.  This net loss decrease is primarily attributable to a $57,000 decrease in personnel and consulting expenses and a $23,000 decrease in selling expenses, partially offset by a $64,000 decrease in gross profit from product sales related to an $116,000 decrease in products sales.

 

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 June 30, 2015, decreased $116,000 to $200,000 as compared with $316,000 for the comparable quarter of 2014.

 

Cost of product sales, in the three months ended June 30, 2015, decreased $52,000 to $46,000 as compared with $98,000 for the comparable quarter of 2014. This decrease in cost of product sold is attributable to the decrease in sales as well as an increase in gross margin.

 

Device sales, in the three months ended June 30, 2015, decreased with the sale of two (2) Devices as compared with four (4) Device sales for the comparable quarter of 2014. Device sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were comprised of two (2) U.S. private sector sales. Device sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were comprised of three (3) U.S. private sector and one (1) U.S. military 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 June 30, 2015 of $2,000, were substantially unchanged compared to $2,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2014.  

 

Other income, for the three months ended June 30, 2015, was $17,000 as compared with $14,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2014.  Other income includes:

 

    Three Months Ended
June 30, 2015
    Three Months Ended

Expenses

 

Total expenses decreased $73,000 or 7% to $952,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared with $1,025,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Total operating expenses decreased $70,000 or 9% to $737,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared with $807,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Selling expenses decreased 35% or $23,000 to $43,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared with $66,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and reflects decreased commissions as a result of decreased Devices sales.

 

Personnel and consulting expenses, in the three months ended June 30, 2015, decreased 13% or $57,000 to $367,000 as compared with $424,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2014. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in consulting costs related to sales and corporate activities.

 

General and administrative expenses, in the three months ended June 30, 2015, increased 3% or $10,000 to $327,000 as compared with $317,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The increase primarily relates an increase in litigation costs, partially offset by a decrease in corporate, sales and marketing travel costs.

 

  Interest expense, in the three months ended June 30, 2015, increased $92,000 or 81% to $205,000 as compared with $113,000 in the three months ended June 30, 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 loss on derivative instruments, in the three months ended June 30, 2015, was $11,000, as compared with a $25,000 loss in the three months ended June 30, 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.

Results of Operations – Six months ended June 30, 2015 vs. six months ended June 30, 2014

 

Summary of Results

 

Our net loss, for the six months ended June 30, 2015, increased to $1,783,000 or $0.03 per basic and diluted share as compared with a net loss of $1,517,000 or $0.03 per basic and diluted share for the comparable six months of 2014.  This net loss increase is primarily attributable to $209,000 decrease in gross profit from product sales related to a $329,000 decrease in products sales, partially offset by a $94,000 decrease in selling expenses.

 

Revenue and Gross Profit from Sales

 

Revenue from the sale and shipment of Calmare® pain therapy medical devices (the “Devices”), in the six months ended June 30, 2015, decreased $329,000 to $208,000 as compared with $537,000 for the comparable six months of 2014.

 

Cost of product sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2015, decreased $120,000 to $48,000 as compared with $168,000 for the comparable six months of 2014. This decrease in cost of product sold is attributable to the decrease in sales as well as an increase in gross margin.

 

Device sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2015, decreased with the sale of two (2) Devices as compared with seven (7) Device sales for the comparable six months of 2014. Device sales for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were comprised of two (2) U.S. private sector sales. Device sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were comprised of six (6) U.S. private sector and one (1) U.S. military 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.

Total expenses increased $65,000 or 3% to $1,973,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared with $1,908,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Total operating expenses increased $101,000 or 7% to $1,569,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared with $1,468,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Selling expenses decreased 68% or $94,000 to $44,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared with $138,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and reflects decreased commissions as a result of decreased Devices sales.

 

Personnel and consulting expenses, in the six months ended June 30, 2015, increased 7% or $55,000 to $874,000 as compared with $819,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014. This increase is primarily related to an increase in consulting costs of $154,000, principally in the form of equity compensation (stock and warrants) in the areas of sales and investor advisory services, partially offset by an $97,000 decrease in personnel costs, principally related to incentive compensation.

 

General and administrative expenses, in the six months ended June 30, 2015, increased 27% or $139,000 to $650,000 as compared with $511,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The increase primarily relates an increase in litigation costs, partially offset by a decrease in corporate, sales and marketing travel costs.

 

  Interest expense, in the six months ended June 30, 2015, increased $173,000 or 79% to $391,000 as compared with $218,000 in the six months ended June 30, 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 loss on derivative instruments, in the six months ended June 30, 2015, was $11,000, as compared with a $12,000 loss in the six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 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 $3,349,000.

 

26
 

 

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.

 

In fiscal 2010, the Company incorporated revenue from the sale of inventory into its revenue stream.  That source of revenue is expected to continue as sales of its Calmare Device continue to expand and other products are added to the Company’s portfolio of technologies.

 

At June 30, 2015, cash was $75,000, as compared with $6,000 at December 31, 2014. Net cash used in operating activities was $(510,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $(542,000) for the six months ended June 30, 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 $580,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $548,000 for the six months ended June 30, 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.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company has incurred operating losses since fiscal 2006 and has a working capital and shareholders’ deficiency at June 30, 2015.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 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.

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 $188,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2015, and has recorded additional interest in total of $807,000.

 

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.

 

28
 

 

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 after at a rate of $1.05 per share.

 

As of November 30, 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. As of June 30, 2015, there is also unpaid interest of $25,000 related to these notes.

 

Series A 15% Original Issue Discount Convertible Notes and Warrants

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 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 total debt discount is amortized over the life of the notes to interest expense.

 

29
 

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, certain holders of OID convertible notes and warrants delivered to the Company a notice of conversion related to the OID convertible notes. Due to the timing of receipt of the notices by the Company, certain Note holders (“Noteholders”) received their shares during the quarter ended June 30, 2014, while other Noteholders received or are due to receive their shares after June 30, 2014. 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 and irrespective of whether the shares were delivered in the quarter ended June 30, 2014 or subsequent to June 30, 2014 to 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.

The total debt discount is amortized over the life of the notes to interest expense.

 

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.

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 the remainder of 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.
