PART I


ITEM 1. BUSINESS


GelTech is a Delaware corporation organized in 2006. Our current business model is focused on the following environmentally friendly products:

 

FireIce® a fire suppression and fire retardant product,

 

Emergency Manhole FireIce Delivery System, or EMFIDS a system which immediately delivers a stream of FireIce® on the ladder and on the utility worker when there is a fire or explosion in the manhole,

 

Soil2 Dust Control a dust control product we introduced in fiscal 2011, which is effective at controlling airborne particulate matter while substantially reducing water usage, and

 

Soil2 a line of agricultural moisture retention products.

  

FireIce®


Industry Overview

 

The fire suppression market in the United States is currently estimated at about $888 million and is estimated to exceed $1 billion by 2016 according to the most recent IHS, Inc. report released in November 2012.  Until 1989, halon was a popular fire suppressant because it could be used to protect highly valued assets that would be damaged by traditional water sprinkler systems.  However, in 1989 the Montreal Protocol determined that halon depleted the ozone layer, and in 1994, the United States Environmental Protection Agency banned its production.  Since then, the lack of availability of halon fire suppressants has sparked worldwide efforts in developing alternative firefighting agents and delivery systems. In November 2010, the United Nations Environment Programme adopted a resolution urging states to intensify development of acceptable halon alternatives for fire extinguishing systems used in aircraft and hand-held fire extinguishers.  The following year, the International Civil Aviation Organization agreed to phase out the use of halon in hand-held fire extinguishers on aircraft by 2016.

 

Our fire suppression business has two marketing thrusts:

 

suppression of structural and other fires within cities and towns, including manhole and utility pole fires, and


suppression of wildland fires managed by federal and state land stewardship agencies.


According to the National Fire Protection Association, in 2013 there were 1,240,000 fires in the United States that caused approximately $11.5 billion in damage. In 2013, there were 25,097 structural fires in New York where the fire department budget has an operating budget for fiscal year 2014 of $1.7 billion. The United States Forest Service, or the Forest Service, and the Department of the Interior are responsible for protecting most federal lands from wildfires. For fiscal year 2014, approximately $3.4 billion has been appropriated to the Forest Service and the Department of the Interior for the purpose of protecting federal lands from wildfires, which includes approximately $396 million to be used in the suppression of wildfires.  California has experienced over 4,600 fires involving over 85,000 acres thus far in 2014.


Our Fire-Suppression Products

 

FireIce® is the registered trade name of our fire suppression product. FireIce® is a dry powder that when added to water in very low concentrations (0.07 to 1.2 percent by weight), rapidly absorbs water to produce a gel whose consistency depends on the selected concentration. The dry powder can be easily mixed with water. Within seconds of being mixed with water, FireIce® is ready to use and turns into a fire preventing, heat absorbing and fire suppressing gel. In many applications the gel forms a cohesive layer which acts as a vapor barrier and prolongs the effectiveness of the water. Due to the gel layer created by FireIce® on burning and adjacent objects, FireIce® also has the ability to suffocate a fire.

FireIce® has the following properties. We believe it:

 

is non-toxic,

 

is environmentally safe,

 

is non-corrosive to metals,

 

mixes easily with water,

 

when mixed with water, will not clog or stick in spraying devices,

 

reduces the threat of a fire rekindling,


      has superior vertical adhesion ability for structure / exposure protection

 

extinguishes fires more rapidly than traditional methods, and

 

is lighter when mixed with water than competing products thus reducing airframe stress in aerial applications


FireIce is also offered in several colored variations, designed for visibility in air tanker applications.  Two of the colorants, a Fugitive Orange (Sunset Orange) and a Fugitive Blue (Cool Blue) were approved by the USFS Qualified Product List in 1Q2014.  The colored products are designed specifically for wildland applications, and compete with existing long term retardant products that are on the market.

 

In addition to selling FireIce® by itself, we have developed two products which use FireIce®: (i) EMFIDS and (ii) FireIce® Home Defense Unit.  In fiscal 2014, we also began selling a FireIce® Utility Fire Extinguisher to utility companies for use on utility pole fires and other field applications.  We envision these extinguishers will provide utility companies with an introduction to FireIce® which will lead them to incorporate FireIce® into other areas of their operations.

 

Since January 2009, our senior management has focused on marketing FireIce® to Consolidated Edison, or Con Ed, to develop a preferred solution in combating manhole and utility pole fires.   This led to the recent development of the EMFIDS which is an innovative system designed to deliver a mixture of FireIce® and water into a manhole. This stream of FireIce® and water is intended to coat the ladder and the utility worker in the event of an incident involving an explosion or fire in the manhole while utility workers are performing routine repairs or maintenance.  The unit has been designed by GelTech to be quickly set up and disassembled by utility crews. EMFIDS delivers FireIce® from 12 custom designed strategically located spray nozzles, six on the ladder itself and six on a halo that fits into the opening of the manhole.  The FireIce® and water mixture is contained in a pressurized tank which is mounted to the utility company’s vehicle and is connected to the unit by one hose; that connects to both the ladder and the halo.  EMFIDS can be activated three ways (1) manually by pressing an activation button on the control panel located in the maintenance vehicle, (2) automatically by a heat sensor located on the halo and (3) manually by pressing an activation button located on the ladder.  Once activated, the system is designed to deliver FireIce® continuously for at least one minute.  The main purpose of EMFIDS is to maintain the integrity of the ladder in the manhole and to coat the utility worker with FireIce®, providing the worker the opportunity to escape the manhole thereby improving the worker’s chance for survival.  Each time a unit is activated, GelTech will require that the unit be returned to a nearby GelTech facility to be cleaned, inspected, recharged and refilled with FireIce® prior to being redeployed in the field.


The Home Defense Unit previously sold in three versions (i) an industrial version which includes a pressure cleaner, a patented wand assembly and FireIce® powder; (ii) a smaller version for homeowners which consists of a smaller pressure cleaner, a patented wand assembly and FireIce® powder; and (iii) the patented wand assembly and FireIce® powder for those homeowners who have pressure cleaners.  Beginning in fiscal 2014, we discontinued sales of pressure cleaners and have limited sales to our patented wand assembly and FireIce® powder which we refer to as the “HDU Wand Kit”.

Uses

 

There are many existing and potential uses for FireIce®. Because it is both a fire suppressant and a medium term fire retardant, FireIce® allows greater flexibility in attacking fires as follows:

 

FireIce® can be sprayed directly on manhole and utility pole fires with our innovative eductor nozzle gun.


FireIce® can be dispensed via EMFIDS on the ladder and utility worker during an emergency that occurs while workers are performing repairs or routine maintenance.


FireIce® can be applied directly to buildings and other structures as a retardant to protect them from advancing fires.


FireIce® can be used in most common wildland and urban firefighting equipment with little or no modification and can be used in direct fire suppression and in structure protection. This includes pressurized water extinguishers, pumper and brush trucks, roll-on or skid units, fixed tanker aircraft and helicopters, backpack extinguishers, or even hand held spray bottles.


FireIce® can also be rapidly sprayed on foliage to create a firebreak and prevent the spread of fires.

 

The advantage of using FireIce® in airtankers include a consistent drop pattern, controlled drift, excellent adhesion to canopy and penetration, superior visibility and improved performance as a fire line and direct attack suppressant.

 

The National Interagency Fire Center reported that in 2014, $1.7 billion was spent by federal agencies to suppress 47,579 wildfires involving 4.3 million acres in the U.S.


Fires are not only a major problem in the United States. In August 2010, Russia suffered immense forest fires causing more than 60 casualties, destroying one third of all crops, and resulting in a nationwide ban on grain exports by the world’s third largest wheat producer. The total damages were estimated to be up to $15 billion to the Russian economy (or one percent of Russia’s Gross Domestic Product).  By July 2012, more than 30 wildfires were blazing in eastern Russia, causing damage to more land than all of the wildfires of 2010.  Due to extreme heat, Australia also faced widespread wildfires in 2012 and 2013.  From September 2012 through January 2013, Australia was battling over 141 wildfires burning through more than 324,000 acres of forest and farmland.  FireIce® can play a major role in extinguishing and containing wildland fires, including forest fires, by being sprayed from airplanes directly over such fires, including in areas too dangerous for ground-based firefighters to enter. FireIce® can also be sprayed from tanker trucks on the edges of these fires.

 

FireIce® also has a number of potential retail and consumer uses:


It can be sprayed out of fire extinguishers.

 

It can be used in a spray bottle by professionals, such as welders, who work with blowtorches.


Sales and Marketing


We market and sell FireIce® through fire equipment distributors, online and direct marketing, attendance at fire industry national trade shows and through our sales staff members who call on potential customers and respond to inquiries.

Because of the wildfires which threaten the United States each year, we recognized the potential for FireIce® and the tremendous marketplace for aerial firefighting in conjunction with the Forest Service. GelTech was notified by the Forest Service in March 2011 that FireIce® would be listed on the Forest Service’s Qualified Products List, or the QPL List. Inclusion on the QPL List qualifies our product for use to fight brush and wildfires on State and Federal lands. In May 2012, we were one of two companies awarded blanket purchase agreements by the Forest Service to provide FireIce® product and services in support of single engine air tankers (SEATS), helicopters and very large air tankers (VLATS) in aerial wildland firefighting operations and also for wildland firefighting ground operations. While these agreements do not require the Forest Service or other governmental agencies to use our product or services, the agreements establish the pricing and terms in the event any of these agencies deploy our equipment and product to fight wildfires. This blanket purchase agreement was renewed in May 2014.


Since we received these agreements, we have been deployed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs on wildfires in New Mexico and have been used on a limited basis by the Forest Service to fight fires in Washington. Under the terms of our approval by the Forest Service, FireIce® may be deployed for use on wildfires except in fixed-tank helicopters and multi-engine planes.


In addition, during fiscal 2014 FireIce® was used by state agencies to suppress wildfires in five states in the United States and was used by provincial agencies in two provinces in Canada. Product demonstrations, evaluations and pilot programs are scheduled with state agencies in three additional states and with a federal agency in the fall of 2014.  Despite this progress to date, the Company has not generated material revenue from the application of FireIce® for wildland firefighting.


To date, the sales of the Home Defense Unit have not been material. We expect to support the Home Defense Unit by continuing to market it in California and in other western states where homes are threatened by wildfires. These efforts will be limited to the marketing of our patented HDU Wand Unit and may include local advertising where appropriate and recruiting local distributors. We currently have one distributor in each of Colorado, Montana, Nevada and Southern California.


In July 2013, we received a substantial purchase order from Con Ed for the EMFIDS.  Earlier in 2013, we opened a facility in Brooklyn, New York to support the initial training of fire department and Con Ed personnel in the proper use of FireIce® to combat manhole fires.  Our lease for this facility expired in August 2014 and was not renewed.


We are currently marketing the use of the EMFIDS to other utility companies throughout the United States.

  

In addition to domestic sales, we have also devoted efforts to sell FireIce® internationally. We believe the international market may provide us an important opportunity.


In November 2011, we entered into an exclusive distribution agreement for Australia. Our distributor, which has operations in 38 countries and generates annual revenues of 2 billion, is required to make minimum annual purchases in order to retain its exclusive status. To date, our Australian distributor has not met their minimum purchase commitments. In March 2012, GelTech entered into a five year exclusive distribution agreement for Turkey. In order to maintain exclusivity, the distributor has agreed to minimum annual purchases totaling $925,000 over the next five years. Initially, our Turkish distributor is required to make minimum purchases of $175,000 through 2013. To date, the Turkish distributor has made product purchases totaling $88,000.


In addition to the distributor agreements in the countries noted above, we have demonstrated our product in Russia and Brazil. These countries are covered by an exclusive agreement with a company in which one owner is a former officer and director of GelTech.  In March 2013, we notified the company that we were terminating the agreement, however we received notification from an attorney representing the distributor that they do not believe our termination was in accordance with the terms of the agreement, although no suit has been filed by the distributor to date. Our relationship with the former officer and director is not good.  See the lawsuit we filed against him in “Item 3 – Legal Proceedings.”  We are currently in dialogue with this former officer to determine if we can reach a settlement.


In our international sales program, we require payment in advance of shipment through irrevocable letters of credit. We also require payment in United States dollars to eliminate the risk of currency fluctuation.

During the year ended June 30, 2014, sales of FireIce® and its related products accounted for 80.8% of our revenues.

 

Raw Materials and Suppliers

 

The raw materials for FireIce® are in abundant supply. The base ingredients of FireIce® are manufactured by a third party and packaging is performed for us by two other third parties. However, there are also several other companies that are able to manufacture the base ingredients. In addition, there are numerous sources for the parts needed to manufacture the EMFIDS.

 

Competition

 

The fire suppression market is highly competitive. However, we believe we will be able to compete effectively because:

 

FireIce® is more effective than other fire suppressants.

 

The price per gallon of FireIce® is significantly less than our competitors products.

 

The effectiveness of FireIce® to rapidly extinguish and deter rekindling, allows fire departments to put out fires faster which save manpower and overtime costs associated with spending extra time on a fire scene.

 

Once a fire has been extinguished, any dispensing system used to apply FireIce® can be easily cleaned with water from a garden hose.

 

Currently, FireIce® is the only water enhancing gel that can be easily mixed and applied to fires as a suppressant.


When mixed with water, FireIce® weighs less than other fire retardants/suppressants currently being used thus reducing stress on aircraft airframes and improving pilot safety  

 

FireIce® is different from foam. Foam consists of air bubbles in water and a small amount of surfactant. When the bubbles burst, the foam collapses. When mixed with FireIce®, water is held by a three-dimensional network of cross-linked polymers. When FireIce® is applied to the fire, the water evaporates and the liquid collapses, sapping the fire of not only heat but oxygen as well. It takes longer for water to evaporate from our polymer than for air bubbles to burst. We believe this is how FireIce® provides more efficient protection and lasts longer than foam.

 

In the wildland firefighting industry, the market is made up of the numerous state and federal agencies responsible for protecting state and federal wildlands and parks. The market leader in the wildland chemicals industry is Phoschek. Because of the strong relationships Phoschek has with these agencies, many dating back to the 1960’s, and the natural resistance to change, which can be even greater in the government sector, we have encountered significant resistance as we attempt to gain market share. Nonetheless, we believe that FireIce® has distinct advantages over Phoschek’s products in aerial attack and ground operations. FireIce® is significantly less expensive to purchase and operate, more effective at suppressing fires, is non-corrosive to aircraft parts, is lighter than current Phoschek products thus reducing airframe stress and maximum load issues, is not harmful to plant fish and wildlife and has superior drop characteristics... Phoschek is classified by the US Forest Service as a long-term retardant, but current tactics include using it in direct attack. FireIce® classified by the US Forest Service as water enhancer and has been effectively used by multiple agencies in “direct attack” and as medium-term retardant is used in “indirect attack”.  Direct attack is when the product is dropped directly on the edge of a fire. Indirect attack is when the product is used to create a fire break in front of the fire. Some long-term retardant gels take time to dry and cure in order to create a fire break. FireIce® is ready immediately to be used on fires. Based on these factors and our successes with the state and federal agencies that have used FireIce®, we believe we will eventually overcome the competitive barriers.

Another significant competitor is Tyco Fire & Security, a major business segment of publicly-traded Tyco International Ltd. (NYSE: TYC). Tyco Fire & Security produces ANSUL®, a premium brand of special hazard fire protection products including fire extinguishers and hand line units, pre-engineered restaurant, vehicle, and industrial systems; sophisticated fire detection/suppression systems and a complete line of dry chemical, foam, and gaseous extinguishing agents. Tyco Fire & Security is a very well-funded company and has significantly more financial, marketing and sales resources than us. Ansul’s main sales thrust is the installation of “in building” fire suppression systems, but they manufacture a wide variety of products. They also have a very extensive distributor list and have a significant share of the market that we are attempting to enter.

  

National Foam, part of the Kidde Fire Fighting organization, is a manufacturer of foam concentrate, foam proportioning systems, fixed and portable foam firefighting equipment, monitors, nozzles and specialized big flow pumping solutions. National Foam has historically been at the forefront of foam firefighting and fire control technology and is the acknowledged world leader in providing foam based solutions. Other brands associated with National Foam include: Feecon, offering airport crash rescue and general mobile firefighting equipment and Wirt Knox, offering a range of hose racks, reels, carts and general hose storage accessories. National Foam has significant financial resources and is part of a large firefighting company conglomerate. Thus, it has significantly more financial, marketing and sales resources than we do.

 

Thermo-Gel® provides the firefighting industry with a product that can be used for structure protection, exposure protection, defensible perimeters and wet lines. This product consists of superabsorbent polymers-polyacrylamide and sodium polyacrylate, mineral oil, and surfactants, and is supplied as a liquid concentrate which is mixed in an eductor. It does require special expensive equipment to use. Thermo-Gel is used in fighting active fires, wildland fires, prescribed burns, aviation applications, and in the protection of all types of structures from homes to commercial and industrial investments. This product has been approved by the Forest Service. In addition to the expense of the equipment needed to use the product, ThermoGel also requires frequent agitation to remain usable, has poor drop characteristics, requires a 30 minute hydration time and is difficult to clean off of aircraft, mixing equipment and airport tarmacs.


There are no systems comparable to EMFIDS that are readily available in the market.  There are other safety products for utility workers, but none are capable of delivering fire suppression and structure protection immediately following an underground event. 


Seasonality

 

There is no real seasonality to structural fires. These occur throughout the year. In wildland fires, FireIce® use will be more likely during the warmer, drier summer months when forest and other wildland fires are more prevalent. However, in Southern California wildland fires occur year round and are most damaging in September and October. This seasonality may be minimized if we are able to expand our distribution internationally to countries in the Southern hemisphere. The occurrence rate for manhole fires is highest in the summer and winter months.


Utility workers perform maintenance on underground systems year round.  As such, demand for EMFIDS should be year round, however there may be some seasonality based upon utility capital budgeting cycles.

Soil2O “Dust Control”

 

Industry Overview 


Dust control is vital to several industries including agriculture, construction, mining and transportation. In response to the level of dust emissions from agricultural, mining and other industries, the Environmental Protection Agency, or the EPA, issued proposed rules titled National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Particulate Matter which were published in the Federal Register on June 29, 2012. These proposed rules reduce the amount of allowable dust released in the air by one-half. According to the EPA’s website, dust accounts for over 25% of particle matter smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter, which are the major cause of reduced visibility or haze in parts of the U.S., and it accounts for over 78% of particle matter smaller than 10 micrometers in diameter, which causes respiratory related health issues. Dust also causes environmental damage such as acid rain, increased acidity in lakes and streams, depletion of nutrients in the soil and damage to sensitive forests and farm crops. In terms of agriculture, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, or USDA, estimates the total annual cost of soil erosion from agriculture in the U.S. is about $44 billion per year.  According to the Global Education Project, nearly one-third of the world’s cropland has been abandoned because of soil erosion and degradation over the past 40 years.  In terms of mining, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Interior, reported that in 2012, there were about 4,155 stone quarries and 93 stone mines which release large amounts of dust in the atmosphere.


The Product


In May 2011, GelTech launched a new product called SoilDust Control using its environmentally friendly Soil2O® product. Dust Control is useful in a variety of commercial and industrial markets with dust control and moisture retention problems including road construction sites, rock pits, unpaved roadways, landfills and coal piles. In contrast to the standard product used on gravel roads and rock pits and other dust causing surfaces, Soil2O® “Dust Control” is environmentally friendly and requires significantly less water. Water is commonly transported to sites in large trucks. Thus, “Dust Control” reduces a company’s carbon footprint by reducing the number of vehicle trips. In addition, fewer trips reduces labor, water and fuel costs and reduces the wear and tear on vehicles and equipment.

 

Uses


Soil2Dust Control may be used in a variety of ways to control dust in multiple industries, including the following:


Soil2Dust Control may be sprayed on mining, rock quarry or landfill haul roads to eliminate dust from constant traffic,

 

Soil2Dust Control can be sprayed on quarry conveyor belts to reduce airborne dust, and

 

Soil2Dust Control can be sprayed on coal ash beds to reduce airborne dust at coal fired power plants.


Soil2Dust Control can be sprayed on horse tracks and corrals to reduce airborne dust.


Soil2Dust Control can be used to maintain unpaved raceways and parking lots at rural dirt tracks used for auto racing.


Benefits


Soil2Dust Control is beneficial because it will reduce the number of times companies will need to spray haul roads, thus reducing water usage, fuel, vehicle maintenance and labor costs. In addition, the product is non-toxic and environmentally friendly and can be integrated into the reclamation process for mining companies.


Sales and Marketing

 

We began sales of Soil2O® “Dust Control” in Southern California in December 2010 and have two full-time employees responsible for selling the product, focusing on dust control for the rock quarry, construction, and agricultural industries. For the year ended June 30, 2014, Soil2O® “Dust Control” accounted for 17.3% of our revenue.

In January 2014, the Company entered into a national vendor agreement with White Cap HD Supply, the leading distributor of specialty hardware, tools and materials for large and medium-sized contractors.  Under the agreement, White Cap is currently stocking Soil2O® “Dust Control”, Soil2O® Soil Cap and related equipment in the southwestern United States, primarily in the southern California and Arizona market.  It is mutually anticipated that they will expand to additional markets beginning next spring.


In July 2014, the Company introduced a companion product to Soil2O® “Dust Control”.  The product called Soil2O® Soil Cap is a highly effective solution to stabilize stockpile dust and limit erosion caused by rain and wind.  Soil2O® Soil Cap penetrates and bonds with stockpile aggregate creating a durable, waterproof shell.  Soil2O® Soil Cap is effective for use on any stockpile or low traffic area susceptible to airborne dust or erosion. White Cap HD Supply has been successful in the marketing this product.


Competition


Competition in the dust control industry runs the gamut from regional providers of product, trucks and equipment to multinational chemical companies providing chemical solutions and application equipment on a global basis. Generally speaking, the industry consists of products made up of chemical compounds that are in some form or fashion petroleum based, are much more expensive per application and are not environmentally friendly. A large number of companies have chosen to use water alone to mitigate airborne particulate matter. For these companies, our product can be most helpful by reducing the number of watering trips necessary to control dust thus reducing the overall cost of dust control and reducing the cost of any remediation which may be required by current EPA guidelines.


There are a few niche dust control products in the marketplace. The main and most widely used product is Magnesium Chloride, or MagChloride. MagChloride has a hygroscopic quality which has the ability to absorb moisture from the air, controlling the number of small particles which become airborne. MagChloride still needs many laps with a water truck to keep it hydrated and working. After just a few applications our “Dust Control” product helps to limit the times a water truck is needed, saving fuel, labor costs, and thousands of gallons of water per day.


Soil2O®- Agricultural Application


Industry Overview

 

According to the USDA, although less than 15 percent of U.S. cropland is irrigated, agriculture accounts for 80 percent of the nation’s consumptive water use.  According to the World Bank, agricultural water management is a vital practice in ensuring food security, poverty reduction, and environmental protection.  However, irrigation in all forms costs billions of dollars a year.  The total estimated cost for irrigation in 2013 for the Central Valley Project in California alone was $3.6 million.  The total value of all loans currently held by the World Bank for irrigation and drainage is $4.7 billion.  After decades of successfully expanding irrigation and improving productivity, farmers and managers face an emerging crisis in the form of poorly performing irrigation schemes, slow modernization, declining investment, constrained water availability, and environmental degradation. Similarly, irrigation for golf courses can be costly as well.  According to the United States Golf Association, it is not uncommon for irrigation systems to cost more than $1 million per golf course.  Effective irrigation and water management practices can help maintain profitability for farmers and golf course managers in an era of increasingly limited and more costly water supplies.  

 

Drought conditions also affect the cost of agriculture and water consumption.  In August 2012, drought conditions in the U.S. caused corn yields – which account for nearly 40% of the global harvest – to be 17% lower than expected, contributing to a rise in food prices.  In response, the federal government passed a $383 million emergency drought aid package for farmers, also known as the Agricultural Disaster Assistance Act of 2012.  Furthermore, President Obama announced that farmers would be provided with nearly $80 million in additional funding, and several State legislatures passed emergency drought assistance legislation as well.

The Product

 

We are marketing two distinct versions of SoilO®; a unique, topically applied version (SoilO® Topical) and a long term in situ version (SoilO® Granular). SoilO® Topical is a fine particle blend that is mixed with water and is for use on existing grass and can be applied using any type of spray rig or backpack sprayer. SoilO® Granular has been formulated to be tilled into the top four to six inches of the soil to assist in replacing and replanting of grass, including sodding and seeding, and is also recommended to be used during the planting of trees, shrubs, and annuals. SoilO® Granular is appropriate for planting situations in which the grass is not already established. We are now selling both versions to our distributors which are marketing the products to the agricultural and other markets.


SoilO® Granulars main ingredient is polyacrilamide cross-linked polymer. Versions of this product have been used in the agricultural industry for many years. SoilO® can absorb hundreds of times its weight in water. Water is rapidly drawn into a polymer network where it is stored. As the soil dries out, the polymer releases up to 95% of the water it has absorbed back into the soil. Therefore, the water becomes available when the plants need it most.


Both SoilO® Topical and Granular naturally degrade over time in soil. Sunlight and salinity exposure make it break down faster. SoilO® Topical is used as a top dressing and sprayed onto already established turf and grasses. Our formulation provides a specifically formulated particle size which, with irrigation, gets down to the roots to supply turf and grasses with water and nutrients. Since the SoilO® Topical particle size is very small and not as protected from the ultraviolet light given off by the sun as the granular form, it is broken down much more rapidly than the granular. SoilO® Granular is tilled directly into the soil and will last for three to five years without having to be reapplied. The market for the granular product includes newly-designed golf courses, courses doing replanting as part of their continual golf course maintenance or any new landscaping project. Although granular form re-orders for large scale use may be limited due to its long duration in soil, we expect it to be used in both industrial and retail markets for the planting of landscaping which always has constant turnover due to landscaping re-design, re-planting and young tree mortality rates. We are marketing both versions of SoilO® to the agricultural market.

 

Uses


Soil2O® has multiple potential uses in the agricultural market:

 

Soil2O® products are specially designed for use as a soil conditioner for water and nutrient retention, interior and exterior farming including growers, turf farms and greenhouses, landscaping, forestry, horticulture and golf course maintenance. Each product’s goal is to increase the water holding capacity of soils and potting mixes, thereby reducing the frequency of irrigation, as well as reducing leaching of valuable nutrients.

 

Soil2O® can also be beneficial for lawns and sod by improving germination and promoting regular even growth of lawns. This is especially useful for turf farms, golf courses and grass in parks and gardens.

 

Soil2O® can be effective in agriculture, particularly in commercial farming. By storing water for later release as the soil becomes drier, Soil2O® delays wilting and makes it possible for certain plants to become better established while waiting for rain or irrigation to begin. In one test, the use of Soil2O® in rain fed sugar cane increased the yield by approximately 25%.

 

By absorbing fertilizer, Soil2O® reduces the amount that runs out of the soil and makes it available to the plants for a longer period of time.

 

Soil2O® can be used in the planting of trees, bushes and saplings by enhancing root development and reducing mortality rates due to transplant shock.

 

Soil2O® can keep plants, trees and cut flowers hydrated and thereby facilitate their transportation over long distances.

We believe that the water scarcity in the U.S. has created an opportunity to demonstrate to governments that Soil2O® can provide a solution for the agricultural market in areas where farmers use irrigation to water crops. In addition, the agriculture market has a substantial problem in related to fertilizer and nutrient leaching. Soil2O® has been shown to be successful in retaining fertilizer and nutrients at the root level, thus reducing leaching.


Sales and Marketing

 

GelTech has limited its marketing efforts for SoilO® Topical and Granular to applications for golf courses and commercial landscapers. Golf course superintendents find the product works well on berms and around sand traps where water run-off is an issue. Commercial landscapers use our granular product to improve growth and reduce plant mortality for new plantings.


In the year ended June 30, 2014, Soil2O® accounted for 2.0% of our revenue.


Raw Materials and Suppliers

 

Our Soil2O® base ingredients are manufactured for us by a third party. There are several other companies that are also capable of manufacturing the main ingredients.

 

Competition


Polymers have been marketed on and off for over 20 years as additions to soil to increase water retention and reduce irrigation. Numerous companies appear to have products that are very similar to Soil2O®. Some of these companies are:

 

Horticultural Alliance, Inc.

 

Turbo Technologies, Inc.

 

American Soil Technologies, Inc. [OTCBB: SOYL]

 

The first two are private companies and it is unclear what financial, marketing and sales resources they have compared to us. On the other hand, American Soil Technologies, Inc. files reports with the SEC. However, from American Soil’s filings with the SEC, it is clear that it has experienced significant losses, has nominal revenue and assets, has a large accumulated deficit and has a working capital deficit which may hamper its ability to compete.  It supplies polymer soil additions and other related products. American Soil has an exclusive license to two method patents with cross-linked and linear polymers as their basis. They also have a patent on a slow release liquid fertilizer. American Soil also has two patents on a machine designed to install its liquid products in mature turf as well as some standing crops. Since we do not currently have a patent on Soil2O® itself or on any of its uses, it is possible that a competitor could reverse engineer Soil2O® and market it under its own brand name. We have filed a patent application for the SoilO® Topical.

 

Seasonality

 

We anticipate that sales of Soil2O® will be higher during the spring and summer quarters. However, we do not expect as much seasonality in the Southeastern areas that generally experience year round growing cycles, with the sale of the agricultural products preceding the growing cycle of various crops. We also believe a demand for Soil2O® may be higher if the drought conditions affecting the Midwestern and Southwestern U.S. persist.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

David Hopkins, a former employee, sued GelTech and its Chief Executive Officer, Michael Cordani, in the 15th Judicial Circuit Court in Palm Beach County, on June 23, 2008, alleging breach of a consulting agreement and an employment agreement purportedly entered into in May and June 2007, respectively. In addition, the Complaint sought relief for fraud, civil theft, invasion of privacy and trespass. On July 23, 2012, a jury returned a verdict against GelTech for $1,046,000 ($841,000 for breach of a consulting agreement, $150,000 for fraudulent misrepresentation, $50,000 for invasion of privacy, and $5,000 for trespass) and against only Mr. Cordani for $200,000 (civil theft).  The jury found Mr. Cordani liable on the same claims as GelTech except for the breach of a consulting agreement.


In November 2012, our insurance carrier paid Mr. Hopkins $200,000 related to the invasion of privacy claim and the fraudulent misrepresentation claim.


In January 2013, the Court ruled in favor of GelTech’s post-trial motions dismissing the $200,000 civil theft claim against Mr. Cordani and reducing the verdict against GelTech to $500,000. In February 2013, GelTech was granted a new trial on damages relating to the verdict.  The new trial on damages was held in September 2014.  Post trial briefs and proposed orders are due October 14, 2014, after which the judge will review the briefs and trial testimony and render a final decision.


On June 3, 2013, GelTech filed a lawsuit in the 15th Judicial Circuit Court in Palm Beach County, Florida, against Jerome Eisenberg, a director and former Executive Chairman, for inducing GelTech to enter into an Employment Agreement based on false representations by Mr. Eisenberg that he would facilitate a $25 million financing on behalf of GelTech. GelTech is seeking to have the Court rescind the Employment Agreement and recover the compensation paid to Mr. Eisenberg under the Employment Agreement. Mr. Eisenberg is an officer of a company which had entered into a long-term Distribution Agreement with GelTech in 2009.


In November 2013, Mr. Eisenberg countersued the Company for breach of the Employment Agreement. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence”, under Item 13 Part III of this filing.

Overview


GelTech Solutions, Inc., or GelTech, generates revenue primarily from marketing the following three products: (1) FireIce®, a water enhancing powder that can be utilized both as a fire suppressant in urban firefighting, including underground utility fires, and in wildland firefighting and as a medium-term fire retardant to protect wildlands, structures and firefighters; (2) Soil2O® “Dust Control”, our application which is used for dust mitigation in the aggregate, road construction, mining, as well as, other industries that deal with daily dust control issues and (3) Emergency Manhole FireIce Delivery System, or EMFIDS, an innovative system designed to deliver FireIce® into a manhole in the event of a fire.  Other products currently being marketed include (1) FireIce® Home Defense Unit, a system for applying FireIce® to structures to protect them from wildfires; and (2) Soil2O®, a product which reduces the use of water and is primarily marketed to golf courses, commercial landscapers and the agriculture market. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company developed and began marketing two new products, (1) GT-W14, an industrial absorbent powder used to contain and clean up industrial liquid spills; and (2) Soil2O® Soil Cap, a dust suppressant technology designed to stabilize stockpile dust and reduce soil erosion. We have yet to generate significant revenue from these two products and are currently evaluating the potential commercialization of these products. Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, and we need to generate sufficient material revenues to support the ongoing business of GelTech.

  

Critical Accounting Estimates


In response to the SEC’s financial reporting release, FR-60, Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies, the Company has selected its most subjective accounting estimation processes for purposes of explaining the methodology used in calculating the estimate, in addition to the inherent uncertainties pertaining to the estimate and the possible effects on the Company’s financial condition. The accounting estimates discussed below involve certain assumptions that if incorrect could create a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Under ASC 605-15-25 we recognize sales of our products when each of the following has occurred:

 

 

-

The price of the product sold is fixed or determinable and evidence of an agreement is present.

 

 

 

 

-

The title and risk of loss of the product has passed to the buyer and the sale is not contingent upon the buyer being able to resell the product.

 

 

 

 

-

We have a reasonable expectation that the buyer has the intent and the ability to pay for the product ordered.

 

 

 

 

-

We have no future obligation to the seller related to the product sold.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We have granted stock options to our officers and directors at exercise prices equal to or greater than the fair value of the shares at the date of grant.


Under ASC 718-10 we recognize an expense for the fair value of our outstanding stock options as they vest, whether held by employees or others.

 



15



 


We estimate the fair value of each stock option and warrant at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based upon certain assumptions which are contained in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein. The Black-Scholes model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because our stock options and warrants have characteristics different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input of assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in our management’s opinion, the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of such stock options.


We use the trading price of our common stock, or alternatively, the price of recent private placement sales of our common stock in making our estimates.


Results of Operations


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein.


For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2013.


Revenue


For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, which we refer to as “Fiscal 2014”, we had revenue of $814,587 as compared to revenue of $526,010 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, which we refer to as “Fiscal 2013”. Revenue during Fiscal 2014 consisted of sales of EMFIDS, FireIce® and Soil2O® amounting to $425,000, $222,870 and $156,717, respectively. In addition, the Company recognized revenue of $10,000 from paid for research and development in Fiscal 2014. Revenue in Fiscal 2013 consisted of sales of FireIce® and Soil2O® amounting to approximately $204,185 and $228,825, respectively. In addition, the Company recognized revenue of $93,000 from paid for research and development in Fiscal 2013.We anticipate that our revenues from both FireIce® and Soil2O® will increase in fiscal 2015 due to continued sales of FireIce® and the EMFIDS system to the utility industry and due to increased sales of Soil2O® Dust Control in the southwestern United States.


Cost of Goods Sold


For Fiscal 2014, our costs of goods sold were $393,102 as compared to $180,427 for Fiscal 2013. The change is consistent with the respective revenue from product sales. We expect that our cost of sales will follow the same trend as our revenues in fiscal 2015.


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses


Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6,601,353 for Fiscal 2014 as compared to $6,103,435 for Fiscal 2013. This increase is reflective of increases in the following major expense categories:


Salaries and employee benefits – Salaries and employee benefits increased $196,370 as a result of the hiring in July 2013 of a Director of Sales and Operations and in August 2013 of a Director of Utility Markets with combined salaries of $230,000.  This increase was partially offset by a reduction in the use of contract staff in our Brooklyn facility of approximately $40,000.  It is anticipated that these costs will remain constant or slightly decline in fiscal 2015 as we maintain current staffing levels until significant revenues are generated.


Professional fees - Professional fees increased $217,548 related to an increase in legal expenses of $204,000 related to lawsuits by a former employee and a former distributor, and an increase in patent attorney fees of $18,000 related to the new patent filings.


Facilities expense - Facilities expense increased $56,473 related to an increase a full year’s rent and facility related expenses in our Brooklyn facility in Fiscal 2014.  We terminated our lease in Brooklyn in August 2014.




16



 


Non-cash compensation – Non-cash compensation expense related to director, executive and employee stock options increased $185,299 in Fiscal 2014 primarily related additional option, SARs and RSU grants to employees and directors. We would anticipate that these expenses would be lower in future years as a result of the forfeiture of outstanding options and SARs upon the resignation by the Company’s former President and the clawback of options and RSUs upon the termination of the Company’s former Executive Chairman and a reduction in the number of options granted in Fiscal 2014.


These expense increases were partially offset by a decrease in the following expense category:


Sales and marketing – Sales and Marketing costs decreased $166,932 in Fiscal 2014 resulting from a reduction in advertising expense, and a reduction in search engine optimization costs. It is anticipated that these costs will remain lower in fiscal 2015.


Research and Development Costs


Research and development costs for Fiscal 2014 were $274,005¸ as compared to $179,158 during the Fiscal 2013. The increase in the Fiscal 2014 amount related to continued research and the second generation EMFIDS system, other FireIce® applications in the utility and other industries and other potential products.  The Company received $10,000 for paid for research in Fiscal 2014 to offset these costs.  We expect that these costs will continue at a relatively even level as we continue to explore new products and new applications of our existing products.


Other Income (Expense)


Net other expense for Fiscal 2014 amounted $658,072 as compared to net other income for Fiscal 2013 of $715,263. In Fiscal 2014, net other expense primarily consisted of interest expense of $462,760 and a loss on conversion of interest of $201,175.  In Fiscal 2013, net other income was primarily impacted by a reduction of the accrual for losses from litigation related to a lawsuit by a former employee. The reduction was recorded to reflect insurance payments made to the plaintiff in settlement of the invasion of privacy and fraudulent misrepresentation awards. In February 2013, the Company received a favorable ruling from the trial judge vacating the civil theft award of $600,000 and reducing the breach of consulting agreement award from $841,000 to $500,000. As a result, the Company has recognized other income of $1,141,000 for Fiscal 2013.  This other income was partially offset by interest expense of $473,605, a loss on extinguishment of debt of $21,311, other expense related to losses on sales of two vehicles and a loss on settlement of a lawsuit with a former distributor of $19,114 and the cost of repricing warrants in order to induce their exercise of $70,491.


Net Loss


For Fiscal 2014 our net loss was $7,111,945 as compared to $5,221,747 for Fiscal 2013. The increase in the net loss was the result of the higher total operating expenses and other income as described above which was partially offset by higher gross profit.  Net loss per common share was $0.20 for Fiscal 2014 as compared to a net loss per common share of $0.18 for Fiscal 2013. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 36,410,142 and 29,479,048 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities


For Fiscal 2014, we used net cash of $5,132,019 in operating activities as compared to $4,195,655 for Fiscal 2013. The increase in cash used from operations was primarily the result of the difference between the prior year reversal of the accrual for losses from litigation due to reduction in the amount of the award and a payment by our insurance provider resulting in a decrease in accrued liabilities of $963,325 as compared to Fiscal 2014 which had no such reversal or payment.  Other major factors that impacted the cash used in operations were the amortization of discounts on convertible notes of $223,025, the amortization of the remaining balance of $102,056 of the accrual related to the Termination and Release Agreement with our former President, and the investment in inventory of $266,574.


Cash used from operations in Fiscal 2013 was primarily the result of the difference between the prior year accrual for losses from litigation resulting in an increase in accrued liabilities of $1,625,067 as compared to the current year reversal of those accruals due to a $200,000 payment by the insurance company and the reversal of $941,000 of the accrual as result of rulings by the court.  Other major factors that impacted the cash used in operations were the amortization of discounts on convertible notes of $385,650, and the remaining balance of $102,056 of the accrual related to the Termination and Release Agreement with our former President.

Cash flows used in investing activities for Fiscal 2014 amounted to $72,851 which consisted of the purchase of a vehicle, mobile mixing equipment and general office equipment.

 

In Fiscal 2013, cash used in investing activities amounted to $28,496 resulting from the purchase of a new support vehicle for our Brooklyn, New York facility plus minimal purchases of computer equipment, net of the proceeds from the sale of a support vehicle maintained at our California facility.

 

Net Cash Provided By Financing Activities


Cash flows from financing activities for Fiscal 2014 were $5,180,861 as compared to $4,230,232 for Fiscal 2013. During Fiscal 2014, GelTech received $570,000 from the sale of stock to Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, or Lincoln Park, $2,131,527 from the sale of common stock to accredited investors in private placement transactions, $1,705,000 from the sale of common stock and warrants to accredited investors in private placement transactions, $25,000 from the exercise of warrants for cash and $18,200 from the exercise of options for cash and $1,000,000 from convertible notes with related parties. These receipts were used for working capital, capital expenditures for equipment and vehicles to repay third party convertible notes of $115,822, to repay related party convertible notes of $85,880 and to repay $67,164 of insurance financing.


During Fiscal 2013, GelTech received $810,003 from the sale of stock to Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, or Lincoln Park, $1,658,000 from the sale of common stock to accredited investors in private placement transactions, $300,000 from the sale of common stock and warrants to accredited investors in private placement transactions, $910,000 from the exercise of warrants and $6,534 from the exercise of options, $175,000 from convertible notes issued to third parties and $500,000 from convertible notes issued to related parties. These receipts were used for working capital, capital expenditures for equipment and vehicles, to repay related party advances of $84,380 and to repay $44,925 of insurance financing.   


Historical Financings


As previously disclosed, in January 2012, the Company signed a $5 million Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park and sold 2,913,997 shares of common stock in exchange for $1,990,003 under the Purchase Agreement. This agreement expired in July 2014.


Since July 1, 2012, GelTech has raised $2,208,000 from the sale of common stock in connection with private placements with 15 accredited investors including Michael Reger, our principal shareholder and Chief Operating Officer, Michael Cordani, our former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board and Peter Cordani, our Chief Executive Officer.  In consideration for their investments, GelTech issued 4,185,323 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.35 to $1.08 per share and 341,912 warrants with exercise prices ranging from $1.25 to $1.30 per share.




18



 


In September and October 2012, GelTech received $910,000 upon the exercise of 1,820,000 warrants (including 1,200,000 warrants held by Mr. Reger) related to an offer by us to reduce the exercise prices of the warrants to $0.50 per share. Additionally, in September 2012, Mr. Reger converted his $322,996 convertible original issue discount note into 665,992 shares of common stock.


In August 2012, the Company received $175,000 in exchange for six month convertible original issue discount notes in the amount of $179,375 from two accredited investors. The notes are convertible into common stock at $0.50 per share. The notes bear an annual interest rate of 5% and are convertible into GelTech’s common stock at $0.50 per share.  In February 2013, one note holder converted a $102,500 note and was issued 205,000 shares of GelTech’s common stock.


In August 2013 and September 2013, GelTech repaid four convertible original issue discount notes with an aggregate face value of $292,740 in exchange for the payment of $202,923 and the issuance of 243,543 shares of common stock.  These transactions included the payment of $86,049 to our former Executive Chairman in satisfaction of a convertible original issue discount note in the amount of $86,100.


From December 2012 through February 2013, we received $500,000 of loans from Michael Reger.  In connection with these loans and prior loans, all of Mr. Reger’s outstanding loans were consolidated into a $1,997,483 note convertible at $0.35 per share due December 31, 2016, and all of his then outstanding notes were cancelled. Additionally, in July 2013, in consideration for a $1,000,000 loan, GelTech issued Mr. Reger a $1,000,000 five-year note convertible at $1.00 per share and 500,000 five-year warrants exercisable at $1.30.  Each of the notes described in this paragraph bear an annual interest rate of 7.5%.


Since July 1, 2013, GelTech has raised $4,611,527 from the sale of common stock in connection with private placements with twenty one accredited investors including Michael Reger, and Neil Reger, a director.  In consideration for their investments, GelTech issued 7,331,548 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.55 to $1.32 per share and 1,938,720 warrants with exercise prices ranging from $1.00 to $2.00 per share.


Liquidity and Capital Resource Considerations


As of September 27, 2014, we had approximately $96,000 in available cash.  Our operations continue to rely on Mr. Reger’s investments.  If Mr. Reger were to cease providing us with working capital or we are unable to generate material revenue, we will have to scale back our operations or cease doing business. See the Risk Factor on page 20. Although we do not anticipate the need to purchase any additional material capital assets in order to carry out our business, it may be necessary for us to purchase additional mobile mixing trucks and support vehicles in the future, depending on demand.  Additionally, we may be required to pay a substantial award to David Hopkins, a former employee and consultant, as a result of the recent trial. See the Risk Factor on page 23 and Legal Proceedings on page 13. If we do not have the money to secure an appeal bond, or if we are unsuccessful, we will be required to pay the amount of the judgment plus statutory interest.


Ultimately, if GelTech is unable to generate substantial cash flows from sales of its products or complete financings, it may not be able to remain operational.

Risk Factors


Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors before deciding whether to invest in GelTech. If any of the events discussed in the risk factors below occur, our business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, the value and marketability of the common stock could decline.


Risk Factors Relating to Our Company


Our ability to continue as a going concern is in doubt absent obtaining adequate new debt or equity financing and achieving sufficient sales levels.


We incurred net losses of approximately $7.1 million in fiscal 2014 and $5.2 million in fiscal 2013. We anticipate these losses will continue for the foreseeable future. We have not reached a profitable level of operations, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Since January 2014, we have received $2,025,000 from our principal shareholder in consideration for common stock and warrants. These funds have enabled us to sustain our operations.  Our continued existence is dependent upon our achieving sufficient sales levels of our products including FireIce®, EMFIDS and Soil2O® “Dust Control” and obtaining adequate financing.


If we are unable to sell enough of our products, and our principal shareholder discontinues funding our operations, we will need to secure another source of funding in order to satisfy our working capital needs. Should the financing we require to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, the consequences would require us to scale back our operations which would have an adverse effect on your investment. 

 

If we do not raise additional debt or equity capital, we may not be able to remain operational.

 

We owe approximately $3.0 million in long-term convertible debt held by our principal shareholder, which is due in December 2016. Because we are not currently generating positive cash flow, we need to sell debt or equity securities. Because of the lack of available credit for small-cap companies, difficulties for small-cap companies in raising money and our stock price and trading volume, we may be hampered in our ability to raise the necessary working capital. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us. If we do not raise the necessary working capital and/or increase revenue, we will not be able to remain operational.

 

Because we have not generated material sales of FireIce® since it was launched over five years ago, there can be no assurances it will be accepted by potential customers.

 

We launched FireIce® in fiscal 2009 and have not yet achieved a consistent sustainable revenue stream. There are multiple factors, which may prevent us from successfully commercializing FireIce®, our fire suppression gel:


We need to convince potential customers, including federal and state governments, that FireIce® is superior to and less costly than competitive products.

 

We may need additional capital in order to demonstrate to governments that we can rapidly fulfill orders.



20



 


 

In seeking to sell FireIce®, we face substantial competition and must deal with the natural reluctance of people to change.

 

Internationally, we are required to comply with local laws which may require certification of FireIce®, a local partner, local licenses and other matters which are barriers to our selling FireIce®.

 

Because we have yet to generate material revenue on which to evaluate our potential for future success and to determine if we will be able to execute our business plan, it is difficult to evaluate our future prospects and the risk of success or failure of our business.


While we have conducted development and sales and marketing activities, we have not generated material revenue to date.  In fiscal 2014, we generated revenues of approximately $815,000.  


You must consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we will encounter as an early-stage company. These risks include:


our ability to effectively and efficiently market and distribute our products,

 

our ability to obtain market acceptance of our current products and future products that may be developed by us, and

 

our ability to sell our products at competitive prices which exceed our per unit costs.


We may not be able to address these risks and difficulties, which could materially and adversely affect our revenue, operating results and our ability to continue to operate our business.

 

Although we are encouraged by the potential of EMFIDS and its role as a tool for municipal utility companies to provide a safer working environment for their workers, we cannot assure you that we will successfully commercialize it or, if we do, it will generate sufficient revenues and gross profit to support our operations.


Our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer, has worked over a long period of time with management at Con Ed in New York City.  In Fiscal 2014, we sold $488,758 of EMFIDS and FireIce® to Con Ed.   Since March 2014, these EMFIDS have been used by Con Ed in the field.   However, we have not received any re-orders from Con Ed or any new orders from other utility companies.  We cannot assure you we will generate sufficient revenue and gross profits from the sale of EMFIDS and FireIce® to utility companies.


Because we have not yet generated material revenue to date, it may never result in the generation of material revenue or profitability.


Since our incorporation in 2006, our goal has been to generate revenue from the sale and development of our products including FireIce® and SoilO®. Our marketing of these products is subject to a number of risks, including:


In seeking to sell FireIce® to government agencies, we will encounter typical risks such as a reluctance to change, the impact of the recession on local government budgets and competition;

 

We have not proven that we have the ability to market and sell our products;

 

Although we have a pending U.S. patent application for SoilO® Topical, we have no patent protection for the granular form and there are many products on the market which are advertised as performing similar functions to Soil2O® Granular; 

If the pending patent application is not granted for SoilO® Topical , we will face direct competition, which can erode any market share we may achieve and create pricing pressure; and


We cannot assure you that our marketing efforts will result in material sales or that if it does result in material sales, that such sales will necessarily translate into profitability.



21



 


Our growth strategy reflected in our business plan may not be achievable or may not result in profitability.


We may not be able to implement our growth strategy reflected in our business plan rapidly enough for us to achieve profitability. Our growth strategy is dependent on a number of factors, including market acceptance of our fire suppression gel and our moisture preservation product. We cannot assure you that our potential markets will purchase our products or that those parties will purchase our products at the cost and on the terms assumed in our business plan.

 

Among other things, implementation of our growth strategy would be adversely affected if:

 

we are not able to attract sufficient customers to the products we offer in light of the price and other terms required in order for us to attain the level of profitability that will enable us to continue to pursue our growth strategy;

 

adequate penetration of new markets at reasonable cost becomes impossible limiting the future demand for our products below the level assumed by our business plan;

 

we were forced to significantly adapt our business plan to meet changes in our markets; and

 

for any reason, we are not able to attract, hire, retain and motivate qualified personnel.

 

If we cannot manage our growth effectively, we may not become profitable.


Businesses, which grow rapidly often, have difficulty managing their growth. If we grow as rapidly as we anticipate, we will need to expand our management by recruiting and employing experienced executives and key employees capable of providing the necessary support. We cannot assure you that our management will be able to manage our growth effectively or successfully. Our failure to meet these challenges could cause us to lose money, and your investment could be lost.


Among other things, implementation of our growth strategy would be adversely affected if we were not able to attract sufficient customers to the products we offer or plan to offer in light of the price and other terms required in order for us to attain the necessary profitability.


We may not be able to maintain and expand our business if we are not able to retain, hire and integrate key management and operating personnel.


Our success depends in large part on the continued services and efforts of key management personnel. Competition for such employees is intense and the process of locating key personnel with the combination of skills and attributes required to execute our business strategies may be lengthy. The loss of key personnel could have a material adverse impact on our ability to execute our business objectives. We do not have any life insurance on the lives of any of our executive officers.


We could face potential difficulties in locating sufficient manufacturing sources if our products gain widespread commercial acceptance.


We have used third parties to manufacture our products on a limited basis. If we are unable to produce our products in sufficient quantities, on a timely basis and at an acceptable cost, we may lose customers and our business could be harmed. Our ability to expand production could also be hindered by the availability of materials used to manufacture our products or the availability of qualified personnel. These difficulties could result in reduced quality of our products or reduced sales, which could damage our industry reputation and hurt our profitability.

 

Although we began marketing of Soil2O® in 2007, we have not achieved material sales.

 

We launched Soil2O® in 2007 and have not yet achieved material sales.  In Fiscal 2014, we generated revenue of approximately $156,716 from the sale of Soil2O®. We have to expand our sales and distribution efforts. Additionally, we must recruit distributors for agricultural usage of Soil2O®. If we cannot expand our sales and distribution network, our future sales of Soil2O® will be limited since our sales efforts have been aimed primarily at the agriculture industry in the Southwestern U.S., including California.   




22



 


If we lose a substantial sum in our pending lawsuit, the judgment creditor will be in a position to seize our assets and cause us to cease operations.


In June 2012, a jury awarded Mr. David Hopkins, a former employee, a total of $1,246,000 for invasion of privacy, trespassing, fraudulent misrepresentation, civil theft and breach of a consulting agreement.  GelTech’s insurance company has paid Mr. Hopkins $200,000 covering the invasion of privacy and fraudulent misrepresentation claims.  GelTech filed post-trial motions and the damages were reduced to $500,000.  Subsequently, a new trial on damages was granted.  See “Item 3. Legal Proceedings.”  In the event that Mr. Hopkins is awarded a substantial award in the new trial, GelTech may not have the money to secure an appeal bond.  In the event that we are unable to post bond, or if an appeal is unsuccessful, we will be required to pay the amount of the judgment plus statutory interest. If we fail to do so, the plaintiff, as a judgment creditor, can take action to seize our assets and we may not be able to remain in business.


Because we do not have a patent on Soil2O® or its uses, if our competitors are able to reverse engineer our product, our ability to compete effectively may be harmed.


Currently, there are numerous companies that advertise moisture preservation products that appear similar to Soil2O®. Because we lack any patent protection on Soil2O® itself and have only a patent pending for the SoilO® Topical, there is a substantial risk that one of these competitors could determine how to make the granular form of Soil2O® and market it under their own brand name; thereby adversely affecting our ability to compete successfully.


A change in environmental regulations may adversely affect the use of FireIce® and Soil2O® and may hinder our ability to generate revenue from this line of business.


While we believe that FireIce® and Soil2O® (including Soil2O® “Dust Control”) are environmentally friendly, we may become subject to changing environmental regulations that could adversely affect the use of it. If we do become subject to environmental regulations, the use of FireIce® and Soil2O® may be limited as compared to other technologies which may be less expensive or more efficient.


FireIce® and Soil2O® face substantial competition in the fire suppression and moisture preservation markets, respectively, and there is no guarantee potential customers will select our products over those of our competitors.


We face multiple competitors in the fire suppression, fire retardation and moisture preservation markets. In the fire suppression and retardation fields, we face substantial competition including with one company that is the principal vendor to the Forest Service. In the moisture preservation areas, we face competition from numerous independently owned businesses that have competing and in some case very similar products. In addition, companies may be developing or may, in the future, engage in the development of products and/or technologies competitive with our products. We expect that technological developments will occur and that competition is likely to intensify as new technologies are employed.


Many of our competitors are capable of developing or have developed and are capable of continuing to develop products based on similar or other technology, which are or may be competitive with our products and technologies. We believe several of our competitors in the fire-fighting business have substantially greater financial and other resources, research and development capabilities and more experience in obtaining regulatory approvals, manufacturing and marketing than we do. Because our competitors in the moisture preservation markets are private companies, we are unable to determine the amount of financial and other resources they have available. However, some of these companies appear to have had much greater marketing experience than we have. Potential customers may prefer the pricing terms or service offered by competitors. Furthermore, competitors may have an advantage as a result of having existing business relationships with potential customers.


Because we are seeking to enter into contracts with federal and state governments, we will be subject to a number of risks, which could adversely affect our business.


We are seeking to sell our products, including FireIce®, to federal and state governments. In selling to the government, we will be subject to a number of significant risks including:

 

Increasing state, local and federal budget deficits which can delay and impede our receipt of orders;

 



23



 


We may not be successful in selling our products to the government, although we will incur material costs as part of our sales efforts;

 

Government contracts often contain unfavorable termination provisions; and

 

We may be subject to audit and modification of agreements by the government in its sole discretion, which subjects us to additional risks.


The government can unilaterally:


suspend or prevent us for a set period of time from receiving new contracts or extending existing contracts based on violations or suspected violations of laws or regulations;

 

terminate our existing contracts;

 

reduce the scope and value of our existing contracts;

 

audit and object to our contract-related costs and fees; and

 

change certain terms and conditions in our contracts.


Further, as part of any audit or review, the government may review the adequacy of, and our compliance with, our internal control systems and policies, including those relating to our purchasing, property, compensation and/or management information systems. In addition, if an audit or review uncovers any improper or illegal activity, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of our contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or prohibition from doing business with the government or any of its agencies. We could also suffer serious harm to our reputation if allegations of impropriety were made against us.

 

Even if we are able to successfully enter into contracts to supply federal and state governments with our products, there can be no assurances these contracts will result in substantial revenues or be renewed.


The process of obtaining government contracts is lengthy and uncertain, and we must compete for each contract. Similar to large corporations, government employees resist change and taking risks. This can make it more difficult to obtain government contracts. Moreover, the award of one government contract does not necessarily secure the award of future contracts. Governments are subject to budgetary restrictions, which may limit their ability to buy our products. These budgetary restrictions have been magnified by the current recession, which has resulted in material decreases in tax receipts. Even if we are able to enter into a contract with a government, there is no guarantee it will result in substantial revenues or the contract(s) will be renewed.  


If we face intellectual property litigation filed by third parties, we will be subject to a number of possible adverse consequences including being required to finance very expensive litigation.


Third parties may assert patent and other intellectual property infringement litigation against us claiming our products infringe on its patents or otherwise violates its intellectual property rights. Any lawsuit, whether or not successful, could:

 

divert managements attention;

 

result in prohibitive costs; or

 

require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

 



24



 


As a result, any third-party intellectual property claims against us could increase our expenses and adversely affect our business. In addition, agreements with third parties may require us to indemnify them for intellectual property infringement claims, which would increase the cost to us resulting from an adverse ruling on any such claim. Even if we have not infringed any intellectual property rights, we cannot be sure our legal defenses will be successful, and even if we are successful in defending against such claims, our legal defense could require significant financial resources and management time.


If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, we may be unable to compete with competitors developing similar technologies.


Our intellectual property including our patents is our key asset. We currently expect to commercialize five U.S. patents and eight patents pending. We regard the protection of our intellectual property as critical to our success. In addition to pursuing patents, we have taken steps to protect our intellectual property by entering into confidentiality agreements with our employees, licensees, independent contractors and other advisors. These agreements may not be enforceable or may not effectively prevent disclosure of confidential information, including trade secrets, and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of an unauthorized disclosure. Monitoring unauthorized disclosure is difficult, and we do not know whether the steps we have taken to prevent such disclosure are, or will be, adequate. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our intellectual property rights, and failure to obtain or maintain protection of our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our business and financial results.


Risks Related to Our Common Stock


Because the market for our common stock is limited, persons who purchase our common stock may not be able to resell their shares at or above the purchase price paid by them.


Our common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board, which we refer to as the “Bulletin Board”, which is not a liquid market. With some limited exceptions, there has not been an active public market for our common stock. We cannot assure you that an active public market for our common stock will develop or be sustained in the future. If an active market for our common stock does not develop or is not sustained, the price may decline.


Because we are subject to the “penny stock” rules, brokers cannot generally solicit the purchase of our common stock which adversely affects its liquidity and market price.


The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our common stock on the Bulletin Board has been substantially less than $5.00 per share and therefore we are currently considered a “penny stock” according to SEC rules. This designation requires any broker-dealer selling these securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities. These rules limit the ability of broker-dealers to solicit purchases of our common stock and therefore reduce the liquidity of the public market for our shares.


Moreover, as a result of apparent regulatory pressure from the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, a growing number of broker-dealers decline to permit investors to re-sell shares of penny stocks like GelTech. This may have had and may continue to have a depressive effect upon the common stock price.


Due to factors beyond our control, our stock price may be volatile.

 

Any of the following factors could affect the market price of our common stock:


short selling or manipulative conduct by market makers and others,


our failure to generate recurring sustainable revenue,

 

our failure to achieve and maintain profitability,

 

the sale of a large amount of common stock by our shareholders including those who invested prior to commencement of trading,



25



 


actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly results of operations,

 

announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, new products, acquisitions, commercial relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments,


disclosure of any adverse results in litigation,

 

the loss of major customers or product or component suppliers,


the loss of significant business relationships,

 

our failure to meet financial analysts performance expectations,

 

changes in earnings estimates and recommendations by financial analysts, or

 

changes in market valuations of similar companies.

 

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a companys securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted. A securities class action suit against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s time and attention, which would otherwise be used to benefit our business.


Because the majority of our outstanding shares are freely tradable, sales of these shares could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is performing well.


As of the date of this report, we had outstanding approximately 42.3 million shares of common stock, of which our directors and executive officers own approximately 19 million shares, which are subject to the limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, which we refer to as the “Act”.  Substantially all of the remaining outstanding shares are freely tradable.


In general, Rule 144 provides that any non-affiliate of GelTech, who has held restricted common stock for at least six-months, is entitled to sell their restricted stock freely, provided that GelTech stays current in its SEC filings. After one year, a non-affiliate may sell without any restrictions.


An affiliate of GelTech may sell after six months with the following restrictions: (i) GelTech is current in its filings, (ii) certain manner of sale provisions, (iii) filing of Form 144, and (iv) volume limitations limiting the sale of shares within any three-month period to a number of shares that does not exceed 1% of the total number of outstanding shares. A person who has ceased to be an affiliate at least three months immediately preceding the sale and who has owned such shares of common stock for at least one year is entitled to sell the shares under Rule 144 without regard to any of the limitations described above.


An investment in GelTech may be diluted in the future as a result of the issuance of additional securities or the exercise of options or warrants.


In order to raise additional capital to fund our strategic plan, we may issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into common stock from time to time, which could result in substantial dilution to any person who purchases our common stock. Because we have a negative net tangible book value, purchasers will suffer substantial dilution. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in raising funds from the sale of common stock or other equity securities.


In the future, we may issue preferred stock without the approval of our shareholders, which could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us and could depress our stock price.


Our Board may issue, without a vote of our shareholders, one or more series of preferred stock that have more than one vote per share. This could permit our board of directors to issue preferred stock to investors who support us and our management and permit our management to retain control of our business. Additionally, issuance of preferred stock could block an acquisition resulting in both a drop in our stock price and a decline in interest of our common stock.




26



 


If our common stock becomes subject to a “chill” or a “freeze” imposed by the Depository Trust Company, or DTC, your ability to sell your shares may be limited.

 

The DTC acts as a depository or nominee for street name shares or stock that investors deposit with their brokers. Although through DTC our common stock is eligible for electronic settlement rather than delivery of paper certificates, DTC in the last several years has imposed a chill or freeze on the deposit, withdrawal and transfer of common stock of issuers whose common stock trades on the Bulletin Board. Depending on the type of restriction, it can prevent shareholders from buying or selling our shares and prevent us from raising money. A chill or freeze may remain imposed on a security for a few days or an extended period of time (in at least one instance a number of years). While we have no reason to believe a chill or freeze will be imposed against our common stock, if it were your ability to sell your shares would be limited.


Since we intend to retain any earnings for development of our business for the foreseeable future, you will likely not receive any dividends for the foreseeable future.


We have not and do not intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future, as we intend to retain any earnings for development and expansion of our business operations. As a result, you will not receive any dividends on your investment for an indefinite period of time.

Our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. Based on their evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this report. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsor Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992 Framework). Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the end of the period covered by this report based on that criteria.


Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.



27



 


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Corporate Governance


Board Responsibilities


The Board oversees, counsels, and directs management in the long-term interest of GelTech and its shareholders. The Board’s responsibilities include establishing broad corporate policies and reviewing the overall performance of GelTech. The Board is not, however, involved in the operating details on a day-to-day basis.


Board Committees and Charters


The Board and its Committees meet throughout the year and act by written consent from time-to-time as appropriate. The Board delegates various responsibilities and authority to different Board Committees. Committees regularly report on their activities and actions to the Board.


The Board currently has and appoints the members of: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, which we refer to as the “Committee,” the Nominating Committee and the Executive Committee. The Audit Committee has a written charter approved by the Board which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

Director Independence


Our Board has determined that Messrs. Becker, Mass and OConnell are independent in accordance with standards under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Our Board determined that as a result of being (or having a family member who was) employed as an executive officer, Messrs. Peter Cordani and Neil Reger were not independent under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.


Our Board has also determined that Messrs. Becker, Mass and O’Connell are independent under the Nasdaq Listing Rules independence standards for Audit Committee members and Committee members.


Committees of the Board of Directors


Audit Committee

 

The Audit Committee, which currently consists of Michael Becker, Leonard Mass, and Phil O’Connell, Jr., reviews GelTech’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board and administers our engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee meets with the independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the results of its examinations, the evaluations of our internal controls, and the overall quality of our financial reporting. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls. 




30



 


Audit Committee Financial Expert


Our Board has determined that Mr. Michael Becker is qualified as an Audit Committee Financial Expert, as that term is defined by the rules of the SEC and in compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

 

Compensation Committee


The function of the Committee is to determine the compensation of our executive officers. The Committee has the power to set performance targets for determining periodic bonuses payable to executive officers and may review and make recommendations with respect to shareholder proposals related to compensation matters. Additionally, the Committee is responsible for administering the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, which we refer to as the “Plan.”


Nominating Committee


The responsibilities of the Nominating Committee include the identification of individuals qualified to become Board members, the selection of nominees to stand for election as directors, the oversight of the selection and composition of committees of the Board, establish procedures for the nomination process including procedures and the oversight of the evaluations of the Board and management. The Nominating Committee has not established a policy with regard to the consideration of any candidates recommended by shareholders since no shareholders have made any recommendations. If we receive any shareholder recommended nominations, the Nominating Committee will carefully review the recommendation(s) and consider such recommendation(s) in good faith.


Executive Committee


Our Executive Committee has the authority during intervals between the meetings of the Board to exercise all powers allowed under Delaware law and authority of the Board in the management of our business and affairs.


Code of Ethics


Our Board has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Although not required, the Code of Ethics also applies to our Board. The Code of Ethics provides written standards that we believe are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure and compliance with laws, rules and regulations, including insider trading, corporate opportunities and whistle-blowing or the prompt reporting of illegal or unethical behavior. We will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics to any person without charge, upon request. The request for a copy can be made in writing to GelTech Solutions, Inc., 1460 Park Lane South, Suite 1, Jupiter, Florida 33458, Attention: Mrs. Darlene Cordani.


Communication with our Board of Directors


Although we do not have a formal policy regarding communications with the Board, shareholders may communicate with the Board by writing to us at GelTech Solutions, Inc., 1460 Park Lane South, Suite 1, Jupiter, Florida 33458, Attention: Mrs. Darlene Cordani, or by facsimile (561) 427-6182. Shareholders who would like their submission directed to a member of the Board may so specify, and the communication will be forwarded, as appropriate.


Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance


Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to file initial reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities with the SEC. These individuals are required by the regulations of the SEC to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of the forms furnished to us, and written representations from reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required to report delinquent filings, we believe that all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and 10% beneficial owners were complied with during fiscal year 2014.

Applicable percentages are based on 42,264,310 shares outstanding as of September 26, 2014, adjusted as required by rules of the SEC. Beneficial ownership is determined under the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock underlying options, SARs and warrants and convertible notes currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible within 60 days are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of the person holding such securities but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to this table, GelTech believes that each of the shareholders named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock indicated as beneficially owned by them. The table includes only vested options, SARs and warrants or options and warrants that will vest and become exercisable within 60 days.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.


The following related parties are employed at GelTech:


Darlene Cordani, the wife of Michael Cordani, our former Chief Executive Officer, is our controller and is paid $1,090 per week,

 

Michael and Peter Cordanis father is employed as a researcher at $2,123 per week, and

 

Michael and Peter Cordanis mother as a receptionist at $600 per week.


We believe all of these salaries are at or are below the going rate of what such services would cost on the open market.

 

Mr. Michael Reger, son of Neil Reger, a director, is employed as Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Reger has been paid no compensation for his employment with GelTech.


In September 2012, in connection with GelTech’s offer of a reduced exercise price to all outstanding warrant holders who exercised as of a certain date, Mr. Michael Reger exercised all of his then outstanding warrants at $0.50 per share. In December 2012, Michael Reger lent GelTech $250,000 and was issued a $275,000 one-year 10% original issue discount note convertible at $0.35 per share.


On February 1, 2013, Michael Reger lent GelTech $250,000. In connection with this loan, GelTech consolidated all of the outstanding notes held by Michael Reger and issued him a $1,997,483 note convertible at $0.35 per share due December 31, 2016, which we refer to as the “2013 Note.” The 2013 Note bears an annual interest rate of 7.5% with interest to be paid annually in cash or common stock at $0.35 per share at Michael Reger’s option. Also on February 1, 2013, GelTech issued Michael Reger 210,226 shares of common stock in lieu of a cash payment for $73,579 of interest owed under the notes which were cancelled in connection with the consolidation of his outstanding notes. Since February 1, 2013, Mr. Reger has been issued 428,032 shares of common stock in lieu of cash payments totaling $149,811 for interest under the 2013 Note.

Jerome Eisenberg, a former director and Executive Chairman, is an officer of TFISA, LLC, a company that was specifically formed to distribute FireIce® and SkinArmor™. TFISA and GelTech entered into an agreement in July 2009, prior to Mr. Eisenberg becoming a director. For the term of the Agreement, TFISA had exclusive rights to distribute:


FireIce® to governmental agencies worldwide including the U.S. excluding (i) any municipal, state owned or volunteer fire-fighting company or any state fire-fighting instrumentality in the U.S. and (ii) sales of FireIce® Products to the Forest Service.

 

SkinArmor worldwide; and

 

Eductors to apply FireIce® together with FireIce® Truck to all of Europe and various other countries throughout the world.


As of the filing date hereof, no sales have been made by TFISA. Furthermore, TFISA has not purchased any products from GelTech. In March 2013, GelTech gave TFSIA 180 days’ notice to terminate the Agreement subject to GelTech’s rights under the Agreement. TFSIA's counsel has notified GelTech that it may sue for damages. GelTech's position is that there is no liability and there are no damages since TFISA never generated any sales over four years as an exclusive sales agent.  We are currently in negotiations with our former director and TFISA to resolve this matter.  


On March 9, 2012, Mr. Eisenberg lent GelTech $75,000 and was issued a $76,875 six month original issue discount note with an effective annual interest rate of 5%. The note is convertible into GelTech’s common stock $0.50 per share. In September 2012, Mr. Eisenberg exchanged his note for a one year convertible original issue discount note in the amount of $86,100 convertible at $0.50 per share. In September 2013, GelTech pre-paid Mr. Eisenberg’s note.


In connection with the resignation of our former President, Mr. Joseph Ingarra, GelTech agreed to pay Mr. Ingarra 12 months of severance at the same rate as his current base salary, or $150,000 (plus COBRA reimbursement) payable in accordance with GelTech’s standard payroll practices with the first 10 months paid each month and the last four months paid once a month (in one-half of the monthly rate installments). The severance was in lieu of the approximately 45 months due under his Employment Agreement under certain circumstances. Additionally, GelTech granted Mr. Ingarra 112,500 fully-vested stock options exercisable at $0.39 per share, subject to a lockup agreement for the option shares and the other shares he currently owns. All other stock options and stock appreciation rights, or SARs, previously granted to Mr. Ingarra were cancelled.


In February 2013, GelTech sold 482,758 shares of common stock and received $280,000 from Michael Cordani, and Peter Cordani. In July 2013, Michael Reger lent GelTech $1,000,000. In connection with this loan, GelTech issued Michael Reger a $1,000,000 note convertible at $1.00 per share due July 11, 2018 and 500,000 five-year warrants exercisable at a $1.30 per share. The note bears an annual interest rate of 7.5%.


Since June 2012, Michael Reger has purchased 5,430,079 shares of common stock and been issued 1,710,510 warrants with exercise prices ranging from $1.00 and $2.00 per share for approximately $3,450,000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

GelTech Solutions, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GelTech Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2014. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of GelTech Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a net loss and net cash used in operating activities in 2014 of $7,111,945 and $5,132,019 respectively and has an accumulated deficit and stockholders’ deficit of $35,133,578 and $1,898,315, respectively, at June 30, 2014. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s Plan in regards to these matters is also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Nature of Operations


GelTech Solutions, Inc., or GelTech or the Company, generates revenue primarily from marketing the following three products: (1) FireIce®, a water enhancing powder that can be utilized both as a fire suppressant in urban firefighting, including underground utility fires, and in wildland firefighting and as a medium-term fire retardant to protect wildlands, structures and firefighters; (2) Soil2O® “Dust Control”, our application which is used for dust mitigation in the aggregate, road construction, mining, as well as, other industries that deal with daily dust control issues and (3) Emergency Manhole FireIce Delivery System, or EMFIDS, an innovative system designed to deliver FireIce® into a manhole in the event of a fire. Other products currently being marketed include (1) FireIce® Home Defense Unit, a system for applying FireIce® to structures to protect them from wildfires; and (2) Soil2O®, a product which reduces the use of water and is primarily marketed to golf courses, commercial landscapers and the agriculture market. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company developed and began marketing two new products, (1) GT-W14, an industrial absorbent powder used to contain and clean up industrial liquid spills; and (2) Soil2O® Soil Cap, a dust suppressant technology designed to stabilize stockpile dust and reduce soil erosion. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, and we need to generate sufficient material revenues to support the ongoing business of GelTech.


The corporate office is located in Jupiter, Florida.


Principles of Consolidation


The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its three wholly-owned subsidiaries: FireIce Gel, Inc., GelTech International, Inc. and Weather Tech Innovations, Inc. There has been no activity in Weather Tech Innovations, Inc. and GelTech International, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash equivalents consist of a brokerage money market account.


Investments in Marketable Securities


The Company may invest in various marketable securities and accounts for such investments in accordance with ASC 320-10.


Certain securities that the Company may invest in may be determined to be non-marketable. Non-marketable securities where the Company owns less than 20% of the investee are accounted for at cost pursuant to ASC 323-10.


Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of acquisition and reevaluates such determination at each balance sheet date. Trading securities that the Company may hold are treated in accordance with ASC 320-10 with any unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Investments classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost. In determining realized gains and losses, the cost of the securities sold is based on the specific identification method.




F - 8



GELTECH SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 AND 2013



The Company periodically reviews its investments in marketable and non-marketable securities and records a reserve for impairment for any securities whose value is considered non-recoverable. The Company's determination of whether a security is other than temporarily impaired incorporates both quantitative and qualitative information. GAAP requires the exercise of judgment in making this assessment for qualitative information, rather than the application of fixed mathematical criteria. The Company considers a number of factors including, but not limited to, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, the reason for the decline in fair value, changes in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date, and other factors specific to the individual investment. The Company's assessment involves a high degree of judgment and accordingly, actual results may differ materially from the Company's estimates and judgments.


Accounts Receivable


Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. Senior management reviews accounts receivable on a monthly basis to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. The Company includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve, in its overall allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.


Inventories


Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using a first-in, first-out method.


Property and Equipment and Depreciation


Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets of 3 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life of the improvements. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10. This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements


We measure our financial assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures". For certain of our financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying amount of our convertible and other debt approximates the fair value because the interest rate on those debts do not vary materially from the market rate for similar debt instruments.

GELTECH SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 AND 2013



We adopted accounting guidance for fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities and adopted the same guidance for non-financial assets and liabilities effective July 1, 2009. The adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity. The standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:


Level 1:

Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:

Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.


The Company had no financial or non-financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value and subject to this accounting standard as of June 30, 2014 or 2013.


Revenue Recognition


Revenue from sales of products is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, products have been shipped to the customer, economic risk of loss has passed to the customer, the price is fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured, and any future obligations of the Company are insignificant. Revenue is shown net of returns and allowances. The Company does provide certain customers with the right of return for unsold product. Sales to these customers are recorded as the customer sells the product, thus removing the right of return.


Products shipped from either our third-party fulfillment companies or our Jupiter, Florida or Irwindale, California locations are shipped FOB shipping point. Normal payment terms are net 30 or net 60 days depending on the arrangement we have with the customer. As such, revenue is recognized when product has been shipped from either the third-party fulfillment company or from the Jupiter, Florida or Irwindale, California locations.


The Company follows the guidance of ASC 605-50-25, “Revenue Recognition, Customer Payments”. Accordingly, any incentives received from vendors are recognized as a reduction of the cost of products. Promotional products or samples given to customers or potential customers are recognized as a cost of goods sold. However, products we utilize to perform demonstrations for potential customers are recorded as a marketing expense in operations. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, these demonstration costs amounted to $4,195 and $10,889, respectively. Cash incentives provided to our customers are recognized as a reduction of the related sale price, and, therefore, are a reduction in sales.


Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Amounts invoiced to customers for shipping and handling are included in revenues. Shipping and handling costs related to sales of products are included in selling, general and administrative expenses and were $52,594 and $51,943 in 2014 and 2013, respectively.


Research and Development


In accordance with ASC 730-10 expenditures for research and development of the Company's products are expensed when incurred, and are included in operating expenses. The Company recognized research and development costs of $274,005 and $179,158 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Company conducts advertising for the promotion of its products and services. In accordance with ASC 720-35, advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred; such amounts aggregated $42,575 in fiscal 2014 and $26,931 in fiscal 2013.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing its consolidated financial statements are reasonable; however, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Significant estimates in fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 include the allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, valuation of inventories, valuation of the beneficial conversion features associated with convertible notes, valuation of options and warrants granted for services or settlements, valuation of common stock granted for services or for debt conversion, accruals for litigation losses and the valuation of deferred tax assets.


Net Earnings (Loss) per Share


The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260-10. ASC 260-10 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, there was no separate computation of dilutive net loss per share since the common stock equivalents outstanding were anti-dilutive due to the net losses. At June 30, 2014 there were options to purchase 9,742,840 shares and warrants to purchase 3,387,121 shares of common stock outstanding which may dilute future earnings per share. In addition, there are 6,707,094 shares reserved for issuance related to convertible note agreements.


Stock-Based Compensation


The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718-10 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights are based on estimated fair values. Stock option compensation expense recognized under ASC 718-10 for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $1,680,358 and $1,480,377, respectively, related to employee, director and advisory board stock options, and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. At June 30, 2014, the total compensation cost for stock options not yet recognized was $836,656. This cost will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period of the options.


The Company accounts for non-employee stock based awards at fair value in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC 505-50 "Equity Based payments to Non-Employees. Stock based compensation to non-employees recognized for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $2,475 and $17,157, respectively.


2007 Equity Incentive Plan


In January 2007, the Company established the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan under which provided for the issuance of up to 1,500,000 stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or restricted stock units to our directors, employees and consultants. In September 2008, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Company’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares authorized by the plan from 1,500,000 to 3,500,000. In fiscal 2012, Board of Directors increased the number of share authorized under the Plan to 4,500,000. In June 2013, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to increase the number of shares authorized by the plan to 15,000,000.

Under the Equity Incentive Plan, all directors who are not employees or own 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding stock at the time of grant shall automatically receive a grant of stock options as follows:


Initial Grants


A – Chairman of the Board

- 50,000 options

B – Director

- 30,000 options

C – Chair of a Committee

- 10,000 options

D – Member of a Committee

- 5,000 options


In June 2013, the Board of Directors increased the annual grants to the following amounts:


Annual Grants


A – Chairman of the Board

- 70,000 options

B – Director

- 100,000 options

C – Chair of a Committee

- 20,000 options

D – Member of a Committee

- 10,000 options


All initial grants of options to new non-employee directors and committee members vest annually over a three year period on the anniversary date of the grant, subject to continuing service as a director, Committee member, Chairman of the Board or Chairman of a Committee on the applicable vesting date. Options automatically granted annually under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan vest the following June 30th, subject to continuing service as a director. The exercise price of options or stock appreciation rights granted under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan shall not be less than the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the time of grant. In the case of incentive stock options, the exercise price may not be less than 110% of the fair market value in the case of 10% shareholders. Options and stock appreciation rights granted under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan shall expire no later than ten years after the date of grant. The option price may be paid in United States dollars by check or wire transfer or, at the discretion of the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee, by delivery of shares of our common stock having fair market value equal as of the date of exercise to the cash exercise price, or a combination thereof.


The identification of individuals entitled to receive awards, the terms of the awards, and the number of shares subject to individual awards, are determined by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee, in their sole discretion. The purchase price per share, if applicable, shall be adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares resulting from a recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other subdivision or consolidation of shares.


The Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee may from time to time alter, amend, suspend, or discontinue the Equity Incentive Plan with respect to any shares as to which awards of stock rights have not been granted. However no rights granted with respect to any awards under this Equity Incentive Plan before the amendment or alteration shall be impaired by any such amendment, except with the written consent of the grantee. Under the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan, the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee may also grant awards which will be subject to vesting under certain conditions. The vesting may be time-based or based upon meeting performance standards, or both.


In April 2010, the Company amended the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of stock options granted annually to directors from 20,000 to 50,000. In June 2013, the Company amended the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of stock options granted annually to directors to 100,000.


All of our Stock Option Agreements provide for “clawback” provisions, which enable our Board of Directors to cancel stock awards and recover past profits if the person is dismissed for cause or commits certain acts which harm us.


Determining Fair Value under ASC 718-10


The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula. This fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. The Company’s determination of fair value using an option-pricing model is affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding the number of highly subjective variables.

Income Taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of ASC 740-10, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.


The Company follows the provisions of the ASC 740 -10 related to, Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all highly certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.

 

Effective July 1, 2007, the Company adopted ASC 740-10-25 Definition of Settlement, which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion of an examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open. As of June 30, 2014, the fiscal tax years ended June 30, 2011, 2012 and 2013 are still subject to audit.


Legal Costs and Contingencies


In the normal course of business, the Company incurs costs to hire and retain external legal counsel to advise it on regulatory, litigation and other matters. The Company expenses these costs as the related services are received.


If a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company recognizes an expense for the estimated loss. If the Company has the potential to recover a portion of the estimated loss from a third party, the Company makes a separate assessment of recoverability and reduces the estimated loss, if recovery is also deemed probable.


New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) which were not effective until after June 30, 2014 are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

GOING CONCERN


These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize it assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a net loss and net cash used in operating activities in fiscal 2014 of $7,111,945 and $5,132,019 respectively and has an accumulated deficit and stockholders’ deficit of $35,133,578 and $1,898,315, respectively, at June 30, 2014. In addition, the Company has not yet generated revenue sufficient to support ongoing operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


During the year ended June 30, 2014 the Company received $2,131,527 in exchange for common stock and $1,705,000 in exchange for common stock and warrants in connection with private placements, received $43,200 in connection with the exercise of options and warrants and received $1,000,000 in exchange for convertible notes. In addition, the Company received $570,000 under the stock purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital, signed in January 2012. This stock purchase agreement expired in July 2014.


Management believes that the actions presently being taken provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

CONVERTIBLE AND NON-CONVERTIBLE NOTE AGREEMENTS

On May 29, 2009, the Company received a line of credit (“Line of Credit”) from the Company’s principal stockholder (the “Lender”). In connection with this Line of Credit, the Company executed a Revolving Promissory Note which permitted the Company to borrow up to $2,500,000. Interest, at an annual rate of 5%, was due monthly on the 20th day of each month which commenced on July 20, 2009.


In February 2011, the Company renegotiated the Line of Credit Agreement with the Lender. As part of the renegotiation, the Company issued 892,857 shares of the Company’s common stock and five-year warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share in exchange for a $1,000,000 reduction in the principal amount of the Line of Credit. In addition, the remaining principal amount due under the line of credit of $1,497,483 was replaced by a five-year convertible note of the same amount, convertible at $1.12 per share (fair market value on transaction date based upon the quoted trading price) and bearing annual interest of 5%, due on the maturity date of the note (the “2011 Note”). As an inducement for the Lender to enter into the convertible note agreement, the Company granted the Lender five-year warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share. These warrants were exercised in September 2012 in exchange for $150,000 in connection with the Company’s offer to all warrant holders to exercise warrants at $0.50 per share instead of the exercise price negotiated on the date of the grant. In February 2013, the 2011 Note, plus a $275,000 convertible original issue discount note were combined into one convertible note, see discussion below.


In December 2011, the Company received short term advances from its then Chief Executive Officer, former President and Chief Financial Officer in the amounts of $10,000, $29,380 and $50,000, respectively. The advances bear interest rates of 0.7%, 5.0% and 5.0%, respectively. In addition, as further inducement for the advance from the Chief Financial Officer, the Company approved the reduction in the exercise price of 150,000 options granted to the Chief Financial Officer from $1.95 to $0.60 per share. In connection with this repricing, the expense related to the vesting of these options was increased by $15,067 which will be recognized over the remaining service period. As of June 30, 2014, the Company has repaid all amounts due related to these advances.

In February 2013, the Company entered into a new convertible note agreement in the amount of $1,997,483, convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $0.35 per share, bearing interest at an annual rate of 7.5% and due on December 31, 2016. This note was issued in exchange for the 2011 Note and the 2012 Note and receipt of $250,000. In connection with the transaction, the Company issued 210,226 shares of common stock in exchange for accrued interest of $73,579 due on the 2011 and 2012 notes resulting in a loss on conversion of interest of $4,204. The exchange of cash and the 2011 and 2012 notes was recorded as a debt extinguishment which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $21,311 for the year ended June 30, 2013. Because this convertible debt instrument contained an embedded beneficial conversion feature, and was extinguished before conversion, the amount of the reacquisition price to be allocated to the repurchased beneficial feature was measured using the intrinsic value of that conversion feature at the extinguishment date and was immaterial. In connection with the new note agreement, the Company recorded a note discount in the amount of $114,142 related to the beneficial conversion feature of the note calculated using the intrinsic value, of which $55,110 has been amortized as of June 30, 2014. The Company issued 428,032 shares of common stock in satisfaction of accrued interest in the amount $149,811. In connection with the issuance, the Company recorded a loss on conversion of interest of $201,175 representing the difference between the conversion rate of $0.35 per share and the market price of the stock of $0.82 per share.


In July 2013, the Company received $1 million from its Chief Operating Officer and principal stockholder in exchange for a five year, $1 million convertible note with a conversion rate of $1.00 per share and an annual interest of 7.5%, plus five year warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the common stock at $1.30 per share. The Company estimated the relative fair market value of the warrants to be $311,949 using the Black-Scholes model using a volatility of 91.46% (derived using the historical market price for the Company’s common stock since it began trading in June 2008), an expected term of 5 years (the term of the warrants) and a discount rate of 1.4%. In addition, the Company estimated the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of the note to be $601,949. For the year ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized interest expense from the amortization of the debt discounts related to this note in the amount of $177,271. As of June 30, 2014, accrued interest due under the note amounted to $75,000.

Restricted Stock Units


On November 14, 2012 , the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors granted its former Executive Chairman 800,000 restricted stock units (“RSU”), of which (i) 200,000 units vested immediately, (ii) 200,000 units vest upon the Company generating $3,000,000 in revenue in any 12-month period, (iii) another 200,000 units vest upon the Company generating $5,000,000 in revenue in any 12-month period and (iv) another 200,000 units vest upon the Company generating $6,000,000 in revenue in any 12-month period. Vested Units shall be paid in shares of the Company's common stock. The Company valued the 200,000 RSU's which vested immediately, at $0.45 per share based on the closing bid price on the vesting date and recorded stock compensation expense of $90,000 during the year ended June 30, 2013, resulting from the obligation to issue 200,000 shares of common stock.


In June 2013 the Executive Chairman was terminated for cause and the clawback provisions of the RSU agreement provided for the cancellation of the Company's obligation to issue these 200,000 shares of common stock. As the shares had not been delivered, the Company reduced its common stock issuable and recognized Other Income in fiscal 2013 for the grant date fair value of $90,000 for these shares in accordance with guidance in ASC 718-20-35, Awards Classified as Equity, Subsequent Measurement in conjunction with a clawback feature since the $196,000 fair value of the 200,000 shares at the cancellation date exceeds the grant date value of $90,000.


The fair value of stock option grants for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were estimated using the following weighted- average assumptions:


 

2014

 

2013

Risk free interest rate

0.45% – 2.61%

 

0.53% – 2.49%

Expected term in years

2.5 – 6.5

 

 2.5 – 10.0

Dividend yield

 

Volatility of common stock

89.98% – 91.94%

 

89.67% – 93.11%

Estimated annual forfeitures

 


The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of non-traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's stock options and warrants have characteristics different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of such stock options In fiscal 2014 and 2013, the Company used the Company’s trading prices in calculating the stock price volatility and based its volatility on historical volatility. The expected term was estimated using the simplified method for employee stock options since the Company does not have adequate historical exercise data to estimate the expected term.

On November 14, 2012, in connection with the signing of new employment agreements, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors granted its then Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Technology Officer and former President, 800,000 stock settled stock appreciation rights (“SARS”) each, of which (i) 200,000 rights vested immediately, (ii) 200,000 rights vest upon the Company generating $3,000,000 in revenue in any 12-month period, (iii) another 200,000 rights vest upon the Company generating $5,000,000 in revenue in any 12-month period and (iv) another 200,000 rights vest upon the Company generating $6,000,000 in revenue in any 12-month period. The SARs are exercisable at $0.45 per share over a 10-year period. The Company valued the 3,200,000 SARS at $1,086,560 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using a volatility of 89.67%, based upon the historical price of the Company’s common stock since June 2008, an estimated term of 6.5 years, using the Simplified Method and a discount rate of 0.93%. Compensation expense of $271,640 was recognized immediately relating to the 800,000 SARS that vested immediately. The remaining compensation expense will be recognized based on management’s assessment that the performance targets are likely to be met within 30 months of the grant date, resulting in the $814,920 of unrecognized compensation expense being expensed by June 30, 2015.


In connection with this grant, the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer, former President and Chief Technology Officer agreed to cancel 250,000 stock options granted to each of them in their prior employment agreements. Because the fair value of the options cancelled exceeded the fair value of the new options granted, no additional expense will be recognized relating to these options.


In connection with a Termination and Release Agreement (the “Release Agreement”) effective February 8, 2013, the Company issued its former President options to purchase 112,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.39 per share, subject to a lockup agreement for the option shares and the other shares he currently owns. The options are fully vested and have a ten year term. The Company valued the options at $43,875 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using a volatility of 89.67%, based upon the historical price of the Company’s common stock since June 2008, an estimated term of 9.42 years, using the Simplified Method and a discount rate of 0.93%. Additionally, in connection with the Release Agreement the Company cancelled options to purchase 1,325,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices from $0.667 to $1.22 per share and under a clawback provision rescinded 800,000 stock appreciation rights. As a result of the clawback, the Company recorded other income of $67,920 representing the expense previously recognized for the vested portion of the Stock Appreciation Rights.


In June 2013, the Company granted its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Financial Officer 125,000 each ten-year options to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.10 per share. The options vest in equal amounts annually on the anniversary date of the grant over three years, subject to continued employment. The Company valued the options at $317,963 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using a volatility of 91.6%, based upon the historical price of the Company’s common stock since June 2008, an estimated term of 6.5 years, using the Simplified Method and a discount rate of 1.78%. The resulting expense will be recognized over the requisite service period of three years.


In July 2013, the Company issued ten year options to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock, each to its then Chief Executive Officer, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The options have an exercise price of $1.30 per share and vest 50% upon the market value of the Company’s common stock trading at or greater than $2.00 per share for any 10 day period out of a 30 day trading period and the other 50% vesting upon the market value of the Company’s common stock trading at or greater than $3.00 per share for any 10 day period out of a 30 day trading period. The options were valued using the Black-Scholes model using a volatility of 93.11% (derived using the historical market price for the Company’s common stock since it began trading in June 2008), an expected term of 6.5 years (using the simplified method) and a discount rate of 2.62%. The value of these options was estimated by management in accordance with ASC 718, which requires an estimate of the probability that these market conditions will occur and for the resulting discounted value be expensed immediately. Accordingly management has expensed $63,180 to stock compensation expense.

The Company had available at June 30, 2014, net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state tax purposes of approximately $28,578,798 that could be applied against taxable income in subsequent years through June 30, 2034. The amount of net operating loss carryforward that can offset future taxable income may be limited in accordance with IRC Section 382 following certain ownership changes.


Based on the weight of available evidence, both positive and negative, a valuation allowance to fully provide for the net deferred tax assets has been recorded since it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance was increased by $2,155,025 during fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

Additionally, the Compensation Committee approved a four-year employment agreement for the Company’s Executive Chairman. Prior to his employment agreement being terminated for cause, the Executive Chairman received a base salary of $200,000 per year and was granted 800,000 restricted stock units vesting on identical terms as the SARs (which have been cancelled). All of the five senior executives receive (or were to receive prior to the terminations of their employment) a monthly car allowance of $600 per month. The Compensation Committee has the discretion to award each of the employed executives a bonus based upon job performance, revenue growth or any other factors determined by the Compensation Committee.


In August 2011, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with a former shareholder of Dyn-O-Mat, the Company's predecessor. At the time of the Company's formation, the Company was unable to contact the investor in order to offer the investor shares of GelTech in exchange for the investor's shares of Dyn-O-Mat. The investor came forward in May 2011 seeking to receive the same offer made to Dyn-O-Mat shareholders in 2007. Under the settlement agreement, the Company paid the investor $50,000, which has been recorded as a loss on settlement as of June 30, 2011. In addition, the Company's Chief Technology Officer and his father agreed to pay the investor an additional $125,000 prior to December 31, 2011. As of June 30, 2013, this amount has not yet been paid.


The Company was sued by a former employee on June 23, 2008, alleging breach of a consulting agreement and an employment agreement entered into in May and June 2007, respectively. In addition, the plaintiff seeks to recover certain of his personal property, which was used or stored in the Company’s offices, and alleges the Company invaded his privacy by looking at his personal computer (which was used in the Company’s business) in the Company’s offices. A jury trial was held for the lawsuit in July 2012. At the conclusion of the trial, the plaintiff was awarded $200,000 under his invasion of privacy and fraudulent misrepresentation claim, $5,000 on the trespass claim,$841,000 on the breach of consulting agreement claim and $200,000 against the Company’s CEO on a claim of civil theft, which by law results in an award of $600,000 for the plaintiff. The Company’s board of directors approved the indemnification of the Company’s CEO for the $600,000. The Company filed a post-trial motion for Judgment Notwithstanding Verdict, New Trial and Remittitur, requesting that the judge set aside or reduce the amounts of the jury verdict.


Based upon the verdicts, the Company recorded a litigation accrual of $1,646,000 as of June 30, 2012. In November 2012, the insurance carrier paid the plaintiff $200,000 in settlement of the invasion of privacy and fraudulent misrepresentation awards. As a result, the Company reduced the amounts accrued for these awards resulting in other income of $200,000 for the period ended December 31, 2012.


In January 2013, the court ruled on the Company’s post-trial motions in this litigation dismissing the $200,000 civil theft verdict (which was subject to triple damages) against the CEO and reducing the $841,000 breach of the consulting agreement award to $500,000. The Company then filed a motion seeking a new trial on damages. The Company received a favorable ruling on this motion and received a new trial on the damages. As a result of the reduction in the award for breach of the consulting agreement from $841,000 to $500,000 and the vacating of the award for civil theft which the Company had previously accrued $600,000, the Company recorded other income of $941,000 for the year ended June 30, 2013. The Company expects the trial to determine damages took place in September 2014. Each side has until October 14, 2014 to file briefs and proposed orders to the court, after which the judge will review the briefs and consider the trial testimony in rendering a decision.
