In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2015 and the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 have been made.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. These differences are usually minor and are included in our consolidated financial statements as soon as they are known. Our estimates, judgments, and assumptions are continually evaluated based on available information and experience. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2015, including the risk factors set forth therein.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The report of our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, contained an explanatory paragraph to reflect its significant doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our history of losses and our liquidity position, as discussed herein and in this Form 10-Q. Based on our existing liquidity, the expected level of operating expenses, projected sales of our existing products combined with other revenues and financing transactions we are exploring, we believe that we do not have sufficient working capital to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements through the third quarter of 2015. In the long run we cannot be sure that our anticipated revenue growth will be realized or that we will generate significant positive cash flow from operations. Moreover, we may not be able to raise sufficient additional capital on acceptable returns, or at all, to continue operations and may not be able to execute any strategic transactions. Therefore, we are unable to assert that our financial position is sufficient to fund operations beyond the third quarter of 2015, and as a result, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern beyond the third quarter of 2015.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are consistent with those discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2015.
NOTE 3.
|
THE EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
|
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Update No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The guidance is effective January 1, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company has elected early adoption as the guidance is a change in financial statement presentation only and will not have a material impact in the consolidated financial results.
There were no other new accounting pronouncements adopted or enacted during the periods presented that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on our financial statements.

As of June 30, 2015, our inventory was composed of Altrazeal® finished goods, manufacturing costs incurred in the production of Altrazeal®, and raw materials. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out method) or market. We regularly review inventories on hand and write down the carrying value of our inventories for excess and potentially obsolete inventories based on historical usage and estimated future usage. In assessing the ultimate realization of our inventories, we are required to make judgments as to future demand requirements. As actual future demand or market conditions may vary from those projected by us, adjustment to inventories may be required.
The components of inventory, at the different stages of production, consisted of the following at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
|
We use the equity method of accounting for investments in other companies that are not controlled by us and in which our interest is generally between 20% and 50% of the voting shares or we have significant influence over the entity, or both.
Altrazeal Trading Ltd.
On January 11, 2012, we executed a shareholders’ agreement for the establishment of Altrazeal Trading Ltd., a single purpose entity to be used for the exclusive marketing of Altrazeal® throughout the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, North Africa, and the Middle East. As a result of this transaction, we received a non-dilutable 25% ownership interest in Altrazeal Trading Ltd. On February 1, 2014, Altrazeal Trading Ltd. transferred all of their rights and obligations under the existing shareholders’ agreement to Altrazeal Trading GmbH.
Audited financial statements of Altrazeal Trading Ltd. for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014 and unaudited financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 have not been released to us and, therefore, we have not included the effect of the financial activities of Altrazeal Trading Ltd. in our financial statements for each reporting period. We believe that our share of the cumulative losses of Altrazeal Trading Ltd. for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 would exceed the carrying value of our investment, therefore the equity method of accounting would be suspended for such reporting periods and no additional losses would be charged to operations.
Based upon audited financial statements received in May 2014, our unrecorded share of Altrazeal Trading Ltd. losses for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $129,207.

Purchase of Altrazeal Trading GmbH – May 2015
On May 12, 2015, we entered into a Binding Term Sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with IPMD GmbH, an Austrian limited liability company, and Firnron Ltd., a Cypriot limited liability company (collectively, the “Seller”) related to our purchase of 75% of the share capital of Altrazeal Trading. We currently own the remaining 25% of share capital of Altrazeal Trading. Altrazeal Trading is the distributor of Altrazeal® transforming powder dressing in European Union, Australia, New Zealand, Middle East (excluding Jordan and Syria), North Africa, Albania, Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions in the Term Sheet, the purchase price will be composed of 3,150,000 Euro for the purchase of the share capital of Altrazeal Trading and 88,834 Euro for the purchase of product inventory. The purchase of the share capital of Altrazeal Trading will be paid in installments, with 1,147,200 Euro due at closing (of which 646,500 Euro will be paid with an offset of accounts receivable) and five installment payments of 500,700 Euro due by no later than June 30, 2015, August 31, 2015, October 31, 2015, and December 31, 2015. The sale is structured as an “installment sale”, with 15% of equity in Altrazeal Trading being transferred upon the payment of each installment by us. The installments are payable in either cash or in shares of our common stock at our option. If installment payments are made in common stock, the calculation of shares to be issued will be 110% of the average closing price for the last 10 trading days prior to the installment payment date and include a warrant for 10% of the shares issued with a premium of $0.30 per share to the market price. The purchase of the product inventory for 88,834 Euro will be paid on September 30, 2015.
To the extent we issue shares of common stock to pay the purchase price, we have agreed to register the resale of such shares to the extent possible. The Term Sheet anticipates the negotiation and execution of a purchase agreement containing all terms of the Term Sheet and other standard terms for such a transaction within 60 days. Such 60 day period expired on July 21, 2015 but both parties are continuing in their efforts to finalize the negotiation and execution of a purchase agreement by no later than November 15, 2015.

PROMISSORY NOTE PAYABLE

Debt Financing – April 2015
On April 15, 2015, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated April 14, 2015 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Inter-Mountain Capital Corp. (“Inter-Mountain”) related to our issuance of a $550,000 Promissory Note (the “April 2015 Note”). The purchase price for the April 2015 Note, which reflects a $50,000 original issue discount, was $500,000. The Purchase Agreement also included representations and warranties, restrictive covenants and indemnification provisions standard for similar transactions.
The April 2015 Note bears interest at the rate of 10.0% per annum, with monthly installment payments of $45,000 commencing on the date that is 120 calendar days after the issuance date of the Note. At our option, subject to certain volume, price and other conditions, the monthly installments may be paid in whole, or in part, in cash or in Common Stock. If the monthly installments are paid in Common Stock, such shares being issued will be based on a price that is 80% of the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices of the shares of Common Stock during the preceding twenty trading days. The percentage declines to 70% if the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices of the shares of Common Stock during the preceding twenty trading days is less than $0.05 per share. The April 2015 Note is not subject to conversion at the discretion of Inter-Mountain.
At our option, the outstanding principal balance of the April 2015 Note, or a portion thereof, may be prepaid in cash at 120% of the amount elected to be prepaid. The April 2015 Note is unsecured.
Events of default under the April 2015 Note include failure to make required payments, the entry of a $100,000 judgment not stayed within 30 days, breach of representations or covenants under the transaction documents, various events associated with insolvency or failure to pay debts, delisting of the Common Stock, a restatement of financial statements and a default under certain other agreements. In the event of default, the interest rate under the April 2015 Note increases to 18% and the April 2015 Note becomes callable at a premium. In addition, Inter-Mountain has all remedies under law and equity.
As part of the debt financing, Inter-Mountain also received a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 194,118 shares of Common Stock. The Warrant has an exercise price of $0.85 per share and expires on April 30, 2020. The Warrant includes a standard net cashless exercise provision and provisions requiring proportionate adjustments in connection with a recapitalization transaction.
As part of the debt financing, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement whereby we agreed to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement no later than May 11, 2015 and to cause such registration statement to be declared effective no later than 120 after the closing date and to keep such registration statement effective for a period of no less than 180 days. In accordance with our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, we filed with the SEC a registration statement that was declared effective on June 4, 2015.
Using specific guidelines in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we allocated the value of the proceeds received to the promissory note and to the warrant on a relative fair value basis. We calculated the fair value of the warrant issued with the debt instrument using the Black-Scholes valuation method, using the same assumptions used for valuing employee stock options, except the contractual life of the warrant was used. Using the effective interest method, the allocated fair value of the warrant was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized over the expected term of the promissory note to interest expense.

As part of the April 2015 Note, at our option, subject to certain volume, price and other conditions, the monthly installments of principle and interest due under the April 2015 Note may be paid in whole, or in part, in cash or in Common Stock. If the monthly installments are paid in Common Stock, such shares being issued will be based on a price that is 80% of the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices of the shares of Common Stock during the preceding twenty trading days. The percentage declines to 70% if the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices of the shares of Common Stock during the preceding twenty trading days is less than $0.05 per share.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
|
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, Earnings per Share, basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, increased to include potential dilutive common shares. The effect of outstanding stock options, restricted vesting Common Stock, convertible debt, convertible preferred stock, and warrants, when dilutive, is reflected in diluted earnings (loss) per common share by application of the treasury stock method. We have excluded all outstanding stock options, restricted vesting Common Stock, convertible debt, convertible preferred stock, and warrants from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share because all such securities are antidilutive for all periods presented.
Shares used in calculating basic and diluted net loss per common share exclude these potential common shares as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

As part of the April 2015 Note, at our option, subject to certain volume, price and other conditions, the monthly installments of principle and interest due under the April 2015 Note may be paid in whole, or in part, in cash or in Common Stock. If the monthly installments are paid in Common Stock, such shares being issued will be based on a price that is 80% of the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices of the shares of Common Stock during the preceding twenty trading days. The percentage declines to 70% if the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices of the shares of Common Stock during the preceding twenty trading days is less than $0.05 per share. For the purposes of this Table, we have assumed that all outstanding monthly installments of principal and interest will be paid in Common Stock based on a price of $0.50 per share (80% of the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices of the shares of Common Stock during the preceding twenty trading days prior to June 30, 2015).

SHARE BASED COMPENSATION
|
The Company’s share-based compensation plan, the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (“Equity Incentive Plan”), is administered by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors (“Board”), which selects persons to receive awards and determines the number of shares subject to each award and the terms, conditions, performance measures and other provisions of the award.
Our Board granted the following incentive stock option awards to executives or employees and nonstatutory stock option awards to directors or non-employees for the three and six months ended June 30:

Restricted Stock Awards
Restricted stock awards, which typically vest over a period of two to five years, are issued to certain key employees and are subject to forfeiture until the end of an established restriction period. We utilize the market price on the date of grant as the fair market value of restricted stock awards and expense the fair value on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we did not grant any restricted stock awards.
At June 30, 2015, the balance of unearned share-based compensation to be expensed in future periods related to restricted stock awards, as adjusted for expected forfeitures, is zero.
Summary of Plans
2006 Equity Incentive Plan
In March 2006, our Board adopted and our stockholders approved our Equity Incentive Plan, which initially provided for the issuance of up to 133,333 shares of our Common Stock pursuant to stock option and other equity awards. At the annual meetings of the stockholders held on May 8, 2007, December 17, 2009, June 15, 2010, June 14, 2012, June 13, 2013, and on June 5, 2014, our stockholders approved amendments to the Equity Incentive Plan to increase the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Equity Incentive Plan pursuant to stock options and other equity awards by 266,667 shares, 200,000 shares, 200,000 shares, 400,000 shares, 600,000 shares, and 1,000,000 shares, respectively, to a total of 2,800,000 shares.
In December 2006, we began issuing stock options to employees, consultants, and directors. The stock options issued generally vest over a period of one to four years and have a maximum contractual term of ten years. In January 2007, we began issuing restricted stock awards to our employees. Restricted stock awards generally vest over a period of six months to five years after the date of grant. Prior to vesting, restricted stock awards do not have dividend equivalent rights, do not have voting rights and the shares underlying the restricted stock awards are not considered issued and outstanding. Shares of Common Stock are issued on the date the restricted stock awards vest.
As of June 30, 2015, we had granted options to purchase 2,061,167 shares of Common Stock since the inception of the Equity Incentive Plan, of which 1,664,573 were outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $1.73 per share, and we had granted awards for 68,616 shares of restricted stock since the inception of the Equity Incentive Plan, of which none were outstanding. As of June 30, 2015, there were 1,065,981 shares that remained available for future grants under our Equity Incentive Plan.
NOTE 14.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
|
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, (“ASC Topic 820”) certain assets and liabilities of the Company are required to be recorded at fair value. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The guidance in ASC Topic 820 also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.
Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on our market assumptions. Unobservable inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is required to be classified using the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Such determination requires significant management judgment.
The three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, is as follows:
|
Level 1
|
—
|
Valuations based on quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
|
|
Level 2
|
—
|
Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
|
|
Level 3
|
—
|
Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants.
|
Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. We review the fair value hierarchy classification on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy.
Our financial instruments, including cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. We believe that the carrying value of our other receivable and convertible note payable balances approximates fair value based on a valuation methodology using the income approach and a discounted cash flow model.
The following table summarizes the fair value of our financial instruments at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Operating Leases
On January 31, 2006 we entered into a lease agreement for office and laboratory space in Addison, Texas. The lease commenced on April 1, 2006 and originally continued until April 1, 2013. The lease required a minimum monthly lease obligation of $9,330, which was inclusive of monthly operating expenses, until April 1, 2011 and at such time increased to $9,776, which was inclusive of monthly operating expenses. On February 22, 2013, we executed an Amendment to Lease Agreement (the “Lease Amendment”) that renewed and extended our lease until March 31, 2015. The Lease Amendment required a minimum monthly lease obligation of $9,193, which was inclusive of monthly operating expenses, until March 31, 2014 and at such time, increased to $9,379, which was inclusive of monthly operating expenses. On March 17, 2015, we executed a Second Amendment to Lease Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) that renewed and extended our lease until March 31, 2018. The Second Amendment requires a minimum monthly lease obligation of $9,436, which is inclusive of monthly operating expenses.
On December 10, 2010 we entered into a lease agreement for certain office equipment that commenced on February 1, 2011 and continued until February 1, 2015 and required a minimum lease obligation of $744 per month. On January 16, 2015 we entered into a new lease agreement for certain office equipment. The new office equipment lease, that commenced on February 1, 2015 and continues until February 1, 2018, requires a minimum lease obligation of $551 per month.
The future minimum lease payments under the 2015 office lease and the 2015 equipment lease are as follows as of June 30, 2015:

Indemnification
In the normal course of business, we enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnifications. Our exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against us in the future, but have not yet been made. To date, we have not paid any claims or been required to defend any action related to our indemnification obligations. However, we may record charges in the future as a result of these indemnification obligations.
In accordance with our restated articles of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws, we have indemnification obligations to our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while they are serving at our request in their respective capacities. There have been no claims to date and we have a director and officer insurance policy that enables us to recover a portion of any amounts paid for future potential claims. We have also entered into contractual indemnification agreements with each of our officers and directors.
Related Party Transactions and Concentration

Purchase of Altrazeal Trading GmbH – May 2015
On May 12, 2015, we entered into a Binding Term Sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with IPMD GmbH, an Austrian limited liability company, and Firnron Ltd., a Cypriot limited liability company (collectively, the “Seller”) related to our purchase of 75% of the share capital of Altrazeal Trading. We currently own the remaining 25% of share capital of Altrazeal Trading. Altrazeal Trading is the distributor of Altrazeal® transforming powder dressing in European Union, Australia, New Zealand, Middle East (excluding Jordan and Syria), North Africa, Albania, Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions in the Term Sheet, the purchase price will be composed of 3,150,000 Euro for the purchase of the share capital of Altrazeal Trading and 88,834 Euro for the purchase of product inventory. The purchase of the share capital of Altrazeal Trading will be paid in installments, with 1,147,200 Euro due at closing (of which 646,500 Euro will be paid with an offset of accounts receivable) and five installment payments of 500,700 Euro due by no later than June 30, 2015, August 31, 2015, October 31, 2015, and December 31, 2015. The sale is structured as an “installment sale”, with 15% of equity in Altrazeal Trading being transferred upon the payment of each installment by us. The installments are payable in either cash or in shares of our common stock at our option. If installment payments are made in common stock, the calculation of shares to be issued will be 110% of the average closing price for the last 10 trading days prior to the installment payment date and include a warrant for 10% of the shares issued with a premium of $0.30 per share to the market price. The purchase of the product inventory for 88,834 Euro will be paid on September 30, 2015.
To the extent we issue shares of common stock to pay the purchase price, we have agreed to register the resale of such shares to the extent possible.

Such 60 day period expired on July 21, 2015 but both parties are continuing in their efforts to finalize the negotiation and execution of a purchase agreement by no later than November 15, 2015.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|
On or about August 22, 2014, Inter-Mountain Capital Corp. (“Inter-Mountain”) filed a Complaint against ULURU in the U.S. Federal Court for the District of Utah, Central Division. The Complaint relates to Inter-Mountain’s delivery of a notice of a cashless exercise with respect to its last remaining warrant to purchase Common Stock on or about May 1, 2014 purporting to exercise it with respect to the delivery of 782,284 shares of Common Stock under the non-standard cashless exercise or conversion provisions in the warrant. The Company declined to honor the exercise on the basis that, as a result of an amendment to the warrant agreed to in December 2013, the warrant was exercisable, on a cashless basis, with respect to only 261,516 shares of Common Stock as of May 1, 2014. Inter-Mountain alleged that the Company’s refusal to honor the exercise constituted a breach of the warrant, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment, a violation of securities laws and common law fraud and sought actual damages, consequential damages, treble damages, specific performance, attorneys’ fees and costs and other relief. Answers and counterclaims were filed.
On April 15, 2015, the Company and Inter-Mountain entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) for the purpose of settling the pending litigation between the Company and Inter-Mountain. Under the Settlement Agreement and related documents, the Company and Inter-Mountain agreed that Inter-Mountain would exercise the warrant and receive 361,516 shares of Common Stock. The Settlement Agreement also included standard releases and anticipated the prompt filing of dismissal documents. As part of the settlement, the Company and Inter-Mountain signed and closed under the Securities Purchase Agreement described in Note 10.
From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, in management’s opinion, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations or financial position. There are no material proceedings to which any director, officer or any of our affiliates, any owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of any class of our voting securities, or any associate of any such director, officer, our affiliates, or security holder, is a party adverse to us or our consolidated subsidiary or has a material interest adverse thereto.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
|
You should read the following discussion and analysis together with all financial and non-financial information appearing elsewhere in this report and with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, referred to as our 2014 Form 10-K, which has been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2015, including the risk factors set forth therein. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this report contain forward-looking information that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking information due to competitive factors and other risks discussed in our 2014 Form 10-K under “Risks Associated with our Business”.
Business Overview
ULURU Inc. (together with our subsidiaries, “we”, “our”, “us”, “ULURU”, or the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation. We are a diversified specialty pharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercializing a broad range of innovative wound care and mucoadhesive film products based on our patented Nanoflex® and OraDiscTM technologies, with the goal of improving outcomes for patients, health care professionals and health care payers.
Our strategy is twofold:
§
|
Establish a market leadership position in wound management by developing and commercializing a customer focused portfolio of innovative wound care products based on our Nanoflex® technology to treat the various phases of wound healing; and
|
§
|
Develop our oral mucoadhesive film technology (OraDiscTM) and for systemic drug delivery and delivery of actives to the oral cavity.
|
Utilizing our technologies, three of our products have been approved for marketing in various global markets. In addition, numerous additional products are under development utilizing our patented Nanoflex® and OraDiscTM technologies.
Altrazeal® Transforming Powder Dressing, based on our Nanoflex® technology, has the potential to change the way health care providers approach their treatment of wounds. Launched domestically in September 2008 and internationally in July 2012, the product is indicated for exuding wounds such as partial thickness burns, donor sites, abrasions, surgical, acute and chronic wounds.
Aphthasol®, our Amlexanox 5% paste product, is the first drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of canker sores.
OraDisc™ A was initially developed as a drug delivery system to treat canker sores with the same active ingredient (amlexanox) that is used in Aphthasol® paste. We anticipate that higher amlexanox concentrations will be achieved at the disease site, increasing the effectiveness of the product. OraDisc™ A was approved by the FDA in September 2004.
Recent Developments
Debt Financing – April 2015
On April 15, 2015, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated April 14, 2015 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Inter-Mountain Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Inter-Mountain”) related to our issuance of a $550,000 Promissory Note (the “April 2015 Note”). The purchase price for the April 2015 Note, which reflects a $50,000 original issue discount, was $500,000. The Purchase Agreement also included representations and warranties, restrictive covenants and indemnification provisions standard for similar transactions.
The April 2015 Note bears interest at the rate of 10.0% per annum, with monthly installment payments of $45,000 commencing on the date that is 120 calendar days after the issuance date of the April 2015 Note. At our option, subject to certain volume, price and other conditions, the monthly installments may be paid in whole, or in part, in cash or in Common Stock. If the monthly installments are paid in Common Stock, such shares being issued will be based on a price that is 80% of the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices of the shares of Common Stock during the preceding twenty trading days. The percentage declines to 70% if the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices of the shares of Common Stock during the preceding twenty trading days is less than $0.05 per share. The April 2015 Note is not subject to conversion at the discretion of Inter-Mountain.
At our option, the outstanding principal balance of the April 2015 Note, or a portion thereof, may be prepaid in cash at 120% of the amount elected to be prepaid. The April 2015 Note is unsecured.
Events of default under the April 2015 Note include failure to make required payments, the entry of a $100,000 judgment not stayed within 30 days, breach of representations or covenants under the transaction documents, various events associated with insolvency or failure to pay debts, delisting of the Common Stock, a restatement of financial statements and a default under certain other agreements. In the event of default, the interest rate under the April 2015 Note increases to 18% and the April 2015 Note becomes callable at a premium. In addition, Inter-Mountain has all remedies under law and equity.
As part of the debt financing, Inter-Mountain also received a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 194,118 shares of Common Stock. The Warrant has an exercise price of $0.85 per share and expires on April 30, 2020. The Warrant includes a standard net cashless exercise provision and provisions requiring proportionate adjustments in connection with a recapitalization transaction.
As part of the debt financing, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement whereby we agreed to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement no later than May 11, 2015 and to cause such registration statement to be declared effective no later than 120 after the closing date and to keep such registration statement effective for a period of no less than 180 days. In accordance with our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, we filed with the SEC a registration statement that was declared effective on June 4, 2015.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company and Inter-Mountain entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) for the purpose of settling the pending litigation between the Company and Inter-Mountain in the U.S. Federal Court for the District of Utah, Central Division with respect to Inter-Mountain’s cashless exercise on May 1, 2014 of a warrant to purchase Common Stock issued in June 2012. Under the Settlement Agreement and related documents, the Company and Inter-Mountain agreed that Inter-Mountain would exercise the warrant as part of closing and receive 361,516 shares of Common Stock. The Settlement Agreement also included standard releases and anticipated the prompt filing of dismissal documents.
Purchase of Altrazeal Trading, GmbH – May 2015
On May 12, 2015, we entered into a Binding Term Sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with IPMD GmbH, an Austrian limited liability company, and Firnron Ltd., a Cypriot limited liability company (collectively, the “Seller”) related to our purchase of 75% of the share capital of Altrazeal Trading GmbH, an Austrian limited liability company (“Altrazeal Trading”). Uluru currently owns the remaining 25% of share capital of Altrazeal Trading. Altrazeal Trading is the distributor of Altrazeal® transforming powder dressing in European Union, Australia, New Zealand, Middle East (excluding Jordan and Syria), North Africa, Albania, Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions in the Term Sheet, the purchase price will be composed of 3,150,000 Euro for the purchase of the share capital of Altrazeal Trading and 88,834 Euro for the purchase of product inventory. The purchase of the share capital of Altrazeal Trading will be paid in installments, with 1,147,200 Euro due at closing (of which 646,500 Euro will be paid with an offset of accounts receivable) and five installment payments of 500,700 Euro due by no later than June 30, 2015, August 31, 2015, October 31, 2015, and December 31, 2015. The sale is structured as an “installment sale”, with 15% of equity in Altrazeal Trading being transferred upon the payment of each installment by us. The installments are payable in either cash or in shares of our common stock at our option. If installment payments are made in common stock, the calculation of shares to be issued will be 110% of the average closing price for the last 10 trading days prior to the installment payment date and include a warrant for 10% of the shares issued with a premium of $0.30 per share to the market price. The purchase of the product inventory for 88,834 Euro will be paid on September 30, 2015
To the extent we issue shares of common stock to pay the purchase price, we have agreed to register the resale of such shares to the extent possible. The Term Sheet anticipates the negotiation and execution of a purchase agreement containing all terms of the Term Sheet and other standard terms for such a transaction within 60 days. Such 60 day period expired on July 21, 2015 but both parties are continuing in their efforts to finalize the negotiation and execution of a purchase agreement by no later than November 15, 2015.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Fluctuations in Operating Results
Our results of operations have fluctuated significantly from period to period in the past and are likely to continue to do so in the future. We anticipate that our quarterly and annual results of operations will be impacted for the foreseeable future by several factors, including the timing and amount of payments received pursuant to our current and future collaborations, and the progress and timing of expenditures related to our development and commercialization efforts. Due to these fluctuations, we believe that the period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be a good indication of our future performance.

Total Revenues
Revenues were approximately $259,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to revenues of approximately $209,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, and were composed of, in approximate amounts, licensing fees of $16,000 from Altrazeal® and OraDisc™ licensing agreements and product sales of $243,000 for Altrazeal®.
The increase of approximately $50,000 in revenues is primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $67,000 in Altrazeal® product sales to our international distributors. This revenue increase was partially offset by a decrease of $17,000 in royalties from our international distributors.
Costs and Expenses
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $81,000 and $113,000, respectively, and were composed entirely of costs associated with Altrazeal®.

The increase of approximately $35,000 in research and development expenses was primarily due to, in approximate numbers, an increase of $16,000 in scientific compensation related to share-based compensation and a higher head count, an increase of $8,000 in direct research costs primarily related to Altrazeal®, an increase of $7,000 in operating costs, and an increase of $4,000 in regulatory consulting costs.

The increase of approximately $84,000 in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to, in approximate numbers, an increase of $75,000 in marketing costs, an increase of $32,000 in directors fees related to share-based compensation, an increase of $7,000 in costs associated with financing activities, and an increase of $3,000 in insurance costs. These expense increases were partially offset by, in approximate numbers, a decrease of $24,000 in legal costs due to the settlement of a licensing agreement dispute and a decrease of $9,000 in legal fees related to our patents.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets expense totaled approximately $118,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to approximately $118,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The expense for each period consists primarily of amortization associated with our acquired patents. There were no additional purchases of patents during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense totaled approximately $46,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to approximately $60,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease of approximately $14,000 is attributable to certain equipment being fully depreciated.
Interest and Miscellaneous Income
Interest and miscellaneous income totaled approximately $70 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to approximately $500 for the three months ended June 30, 2014
Interest Expense
Interest expense totaled approximately $63,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to approximately $33,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Interest expense typically includes financing costs for our insurance policies, interest costs related to regulatory fees, and interest costs and amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs. The increase of approximately $30,000 is primarily attributable to costs associated with our convertible debt and interest costs relating to regulatory fees.
Foreign Currency Transaction Gain
Foreign currency transaction gain totaled approximately $35,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to nil for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The gain is related to the fluctuations in the Euro exchange rate experienced during 2014 and 2015 and the pricing of Altrazeal® to our international distributors being denominated in Euros.
Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

The increase of $243,000 in revenues is primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $258,000 in Altrazeal® product sales to our international distributors and an increase of $2,000 in license fees related to Altrazeal®. These revenues increases were partially offset by a decrease of $17,000 in royalties from our international distributors.

The increase of approximately $51,000 in research and development expenses was primarily due to, in approximate numbers, an increase of $37,000 in scientific compensation related to share-based compensation and a higher head count, an increase of $20,000 direct research costs primarily related to Altrazeal®, and an increase of $6,000 in operating costs.

The expense for each period consists primarily of amortization associated with our acquired patents. There were no additional purchases of patents during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense totaled approximately $105,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to approximately $120,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease of approximately $15,000 is attributable to certain equipment being fully depreciated.
Interest and Miscellaneous Income
Interest and miscellaneous income totaled approximately $200 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to approximately $5,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease of approximately $4,800 is attributable to a decrease in interest income resulting from the deduction and offset in January 2014 of the outstanding notes receivable against the outstanding principle due on the convertible promissory note with Inter-Mountain.
Interest Expense (Income)
Interest expense totaled approximately $76,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to approximately $(3,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Interest expense typically includes financing costs for our insurance policies, interest costs related to regulatory fees, and interest costs and amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs. The increase of approximately $79,000 in interest expense is primarily attributable to the prior year expense including a credit of approximately $101,000 associated with the deduction and offset in January 2014 of the outstanding notes receivable against the outstanding principle due on the convertible promissory note with Inter-Mountain and the final payoff of the convertible promissory note with Inter-Mountain in March 2014.
Foreign Currency Transaction (Loss)
Foreign currency transaction loss totaled approximately $58,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to nil for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase of approximately $58,000 is related to the fluctuations in the Euro exchange rate experienced during 2014 and 2015 and the pricing of Altrazeal® to our international distributors being denominated in Euros.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Convertible Note
Loss on early extinguishment of convertible note was nil for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $135,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, with such loss in 2014 occurring as a result of our election to exercise our rights under the June 2012 Note and to offset amounts we owed to Inter-Mountain against amounts it owed to us under the Investor Notes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have funded our operations primarily through the public and private sales of convertible debentures and Common Stock. Product sales, royalty payments, contract research, licensing fees and milestone payments from our corporate alliances have provided, and are expected in the future to provide, funding for operations. Our principal source of liquidity is cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2015 our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $19,000 which is a decrease of approximately $531,000 as compared to our cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2014 of approximately $550,000. Our working capital (current assets less current liabilities) was approximately $(924,000) at June 30, 2015 as compared to our working capital at December 31, 2014 of approximately $(53,000).

Our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2015 included substantial non-cash charges of approximately $504,000 in the form of share-based compensation, amortization of patents, amortization of debt discount, amortization of debt issuance costs, and depreciation. The aforementioned net cash used for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was partially offset by, in approximate numbers, an increase of $450,000 in accounts payable due to timing of vendor payments, an increase of $54,000 in accrued liabilities due to compensation deferrals, an increase of $11,000 in accrued interest related to Inter-Mountain debt, an increase of $8,000 in deferred revenues, and a decrease of $77,000 in prepaid expenses related to insurance, listing fees, and consulting.

The aforementioned net cash used for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was partially offset by, in approximate numbers, a decrease of $778,000 in notes receivable due to our offset in January 2014 of all outstanding Investor Notes issued by Inter-Mountain, a decrease of $47,000 in inventory, and a decrease of $36,000 in prepaid expenses.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $1,000 and relates to the purchase of computer equipment.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was approximately $16,000 and relates to the purchase of manufacturing equipment.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $496,000 and was composed of $485,000 from the debt transaction with Inter-Mountain in April 2015 and an adjustment of $11,000 of offering costs associated with our sale of preferred stock in 2011.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six month ended June 30, 2014 was approximately $1,633,000 and was composed of, in approximate numbers, the final funding of $500,000 from the sale of common stock and warrants pursuant to the January 2013 Offering, the final funding $110,000 from the sale of common stock and warrants pursuant to the March 2013 Offering, the funding of $1,800,000 from the exercise of warrants to purchase 2,250,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Implementation Agreement with Sacks and TPT, and the repayment of $777,000 of principle due on the convertible promissory note with Inter-Mountain attributable to the deduction and offset in January 2014 of the outstanding Investor Notes against the outstanding principle due on the convertible promissory note with Inter-Mountain.
Liquidity
As of June 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $19,000. We expect to use our cash, cash equivalents, and investments on working capital, general corporate purposes, property and equipment, and the payment of contractual obligations. Our long-term liquidity will depend to a great extent on our ability to fully commercialize our Altrazeal® and OraDisc™ technologies; therefore we are continuing to look both domestically and internationally for opportunities that will enable us to expand our business. At this time, we cannot accurately predict the effect of certain developments on the rate of sales growth, if any, during 2015 and beyond, such as the speed and degree of market acceptance, the impact of competition, the effectiveness of the sales and marketing efforts of our licensees, and the outcome of our current efforts to develop, receive approval for, and successfully launch our near-term product candidates.
As of June 30, 2015, our net working capital (current assets less current liabilities) was approximately $(924,000). Based on our liquidity as of June 30, 2015, we believe that our liquidity will not be sufficient to fund operations through the third quarter of 2015. In order to continue to advance our business plan and outstanding obligations, we need to raise additional capital. We will need capital in the immediate-term to fund our current operations. In addition, in light of our stage of development and limited sales, we may need additional capital in the foreseeable future in order to expand our business and fund our operations. We expect to seek funding through public and/or private offerings of debt and equity securities. We may also seek capital from other sources, including contribution by others to joint ventures, or collaborative arrangements or licensing for the development, testing, manufacturing and marketing of products under development. We have no agreements with respect to our potential receipt of additional capital.
Historically, we have been able to raise capital as needed to fund our operations at a base level, but we have generally not raised capital sufficient to fund unexpected occurrences, to cover projected expenses over the long term or to fund extensive research, marketing and development. We are currently in discussions with various parties about potential financings, and management believes that we can raise capital as necessary for our near term needs; however, no party has signed any binding commitment to provided capital. As a result, there is a risk that we will not be able to obtain capital as needed in the near term. In addition, we will need to continue to seek capital from the market over the long term. To the extent we raise capital, it generally will be on terms that are dilutive to shareholders and may require the issuance of warrants or similar incentives, the agreement to restrictive covenants and/or the pledge of our assets as securities for debt financings.
Our future capital requirements and adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors including:
§
|
our ability to successfully commercialize our wound management products and the market acceptance of these products;
|
§
|
our ability to establish and maintain collaborative arrangements with corporate partners for the development and commercialization of certain product opportunities;
|
§
|
continued scientific progress in our development programs;
|
§
|
our ability to collect outstanding receivables;
|
§
|
the costs involved in filing, prosecuting and enforcing patent claims;
|
§
|
competing technological developments;
|
§
|
the trading volume and price of our capital stock;
|
§
|
the actions of parties whose consents, waivers or prompt responses are required for approval of a financing (such as parties with rights of first refusal or consent rights);
|
§
|
our general financial situation, including the amount of our indebtedness; and
|
§
|
the cost of manufacturing and production scale-up.

Contractual Obligations
The following table summarizes our outstanding contractual cash obligations as of June 30, 2015, which is composed of the April 2015 Note, a lease agreement for office and laboratory space in Addison, Texas, and a lease agreement for office equipment.

Capital Expenditures
For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, our expenditures for property, equipment, and leasehold improvements were, in approximate numbers, $1,000 and $16,000, respectively. The expenditures in 2015 relate to the purchase of computer equipment and the expenditures in 2014 relate primarily to the purchase of equipment for the manufacture of Altrazeal®. At this time, we believe that our capital expenditures for the remainder of 2015 will be approximately $59,000 and consist of equipment related to the manufacture of our products.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2015, we did not have any off balance sheet arrangements.
Impact of Inflation
We have experienced only moderate price increases over the last three fiscal years under our agreements with third-party manufacturers as a result of raw material and labor price increases. However, there can be no assurance that possible future inflation would not impact our operations.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Concentration of credit risk with respect to financial instruments, consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk due to the use of a limited number of banking institutions and due to maintaining cash balances in banks, which, at times, may exceed the limits of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Currently, we utilized Bank of America, N.A. as our banking institution. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 our cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $19,000 and $550,000, respectively. We also invest cash in excess of immediate requirements in money market accounts, certificates of deposit, corporate commercial paper with high quality ratings, and U.S. government securities. These investments are not held for trading or other speculative purposes. We are exposed to credit risk in the event of default by these institutions.
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are customers with balances that exceed 5% of total consolidated trade accounts receivable at June 30, 2015 and at December 31, 2014. As of June 30, 2015, three customers, each being one of our international distributors, exceeded the 5% threshold, with 83%, 12%, and 5%, respectively. Three customers, each being one of our international distributors, exceeded the 5% threshold at December 31, 2014, with 71%, 19%, and 9%, respectively. To reduce risk, we routinely assess the financial strength of our most significant customers and monitor the amounts owed to us, taking appropriate action when necessary. As a result, we believe that accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts, but historically have not experienced any significant losses related to an individual customer or group of customers.
Concentrations of Foreign Currency Risk
Currently, a portion of our revenues and all of our expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars. We are experiencing an increase in revenues in international territories denominated in a foreign currency. Certain of our licensing and distribution agreements in international territories are denominated in Euros. Currently, we do not employ forward contracts or other financial instruments to mitigate foreign currency risk. As our international operations continue to grow, we may engage in hedging activities to hedge our exposure to foreign currency risk.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations addresses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. The preparation of our financial statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies are summarized in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2015. We had no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since our last annual report.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (including documents incorporated by reference) and other written and oral statements the Company makes from time to time contain certain “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the fact that they use words such as “should”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “target”, “may”, “project”, “guidance”, “will”, “intend”, “plan”, “believe” and other words and terms of similar meaning and expression in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. One can also identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including factors that could delay, divert or change any of them, and could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from current expectations. These statements are likely to relate to, among other things, the Company’s goals, plans and projections regarding its financial position, statements indicating that the Company has cash and cash equivalents sufficient to fund our operations in the future, results of operations, cash flows, market position, product development, product approvals, sales efforts, expenses, performance or results of current and anticipated products and the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, acquisitions, and financial results, which are based on current expectations that involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including internal or external factors that could delay, divert or change any of them in the next several years.
Although the Company believes it has been prudent in its plans and assumptions, no assurance can be given that any goal or plan set forth in forward-looking statements can be achieved, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and are operating in an effective manner.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2015, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
On or about August 22, 2014, Inter-Mountain filed a Complaint against ULURU in the U.S. Federal Court for the District of Utah, Central Division. The Complaint relates to Inter-Mountain’s delivery of a notice of a cashless exercise with respect to its last remaining warrant to purchase Common Stock on or about May 1, 2014 purporting to exercise it with respect to the delivery of 782,284 shares of Common Stock under the non-standard cashless exercise or conversion provisions in the warrant. The Company declined to honor the exercise on the basis that, as a result of an amendment to the warrant agreed to in December 2013, the warrant was exercisable, on a cashless basis, with respect to only 261,516 shares of Common Stock as of May 1, 2014. Inter-Mountain alleged that the Company’s refusal to honor the exercise constituted a breach of the warrant, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment, a violation of securities laws and common law fraud and seeking actual damages, consequential damages, treble damages, specific performance, attorneys’ fees and costs and other relief. Answers and counterclaims were filed.
On April 15, 2015, the Company and Inter-Mountain entered into a Settlement Agreement for the purpose of settling the pending litigation between the Company and Inter-Mountain. Under the Settlement Agreement and related documents, the Company and Inter-Mountain agreed that Inter-Mountain would exercise the warrant and receive 361,516 shares of Common Stock. The Settlement Agreement also included standard releases and anticipated the prompt filing of dismissal documents.
From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, in management’s opinion, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations or financial position. There are no material proceedings to which any director, officer or any of our affiliates, any owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of any class of our voting securities, or any associate of any such director, officer, our affiliates, or security holder, is a party adverse to us or our consolidated subsidiary or has a material interest adverse thereto.
This item is not applicable to smaller reporting companies. Information about certain risks associated with an investment in our Common Stock is found in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2015.
