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

Certain Related Party Transactions

Other than compensation agreements and other arrangements with our executive officers and directors and the transactions described below, during our last two fiscal years, there has not been, and there is not currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or will be a party in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years and in which any of our directors, executive officers, holders of more than five percent of any class of our voting securities or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. In accordance with Regulation S-K 404(d) for Smaller Reporting Companies, we provide information for the last two fiscal years.

Related Party Payables

On December 27, 2011 the Company's CEO, Todd Zelek, extended to the Company a short term loan due on demand of $100,000 at an annual interest rate of 12%. At June 30, 2012, the outstanding balance remained $100,000 along with $6,000 in accrued interest. The Company paid off the $100,000 loan along with all accrued interest during fiscal 2013.

The Company provided an advance against future reimbursable company expenses of $15,000 to Roman Gordon, Chief Technology Officer, and owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock during fiscal 2012. This amount was used during 2013 to offset the balance of Accrued Salary to Mr. Gordon and the outstanding balance on June 30, 2013 was $0.

As of June 30, 2012, we had received $185,000 from West Point Partners, LLC, whose managing partner is the Company's Principal Accounting Officer. These funds were due on demand, and paid an annual interest rate of 12% which was accrued. During the year ended, the Company recognized interest expense of $16,650. As of June 30, 2014, the entire loan of $185,000 together with unpaid interest of $43,300 was converted into 7,610,000 shares of company's common stock and 7,610,000 warrants to purchase company's common stock with a fair market value of $683,823.

Refer to Footnote 8, Related Party Short-Term Loan and Payables, and Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, Royalty Agreements, for a description of related party transactions with our executive officers during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

Director Independence

As our common stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, we are not subject to the rules of any national securities exchange which require that a majority of a listed company's directors and specified committees of the board of directors meet independence standards prescribed by such rules. For the purpose of preparing the disclosures in this Report on Form 10-K regarding director independence, we have used the definition of "independent director" set forth in the Marketplace Rules of The NASDAQ, which defines an "independent director" generally as a person other than an executive officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company's board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Consistent with these standards, we believe that James Fuller is an Independent Financial Expert and independent director.

ITEM 14.  PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Audit

Our principal auditing firm during fiscal 2013 was Rose, Snyder, and Jacobs.  After fiscal 2013 ended, the Company replaced its former principal auditing firm Rose, Snyder and Jacobs with Weinberg & Co, Los Angeles. Rose, Snyder and Jacobs performed reviews of quarterly financial statements included on Forms 10-Q for the first three quarters of 2013 and received $35,500 for these services. Weinberg & Co is the principal auditing firm for the audit of our annual financial statements included with Form 10-K for fiscal 2013 and received approximately $60,951 for these services.

During fiscal 2014, we incurred expenses of $31,583 for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of quarterly financial statements included on Form 10-Q and expect to pay about $30,000 more for 2014 services in 2015.

Tax Fees

The aggregate fees billed in fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax preparation amounted to $7,150 and $12,185 respectively.

Audit Committee

The charter of the Audit Committee provides that the Audit Committee pre-approves all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed for CTi by its independent public accounting firm, subject to the de minimus exceptions for non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act.
