Item 7.01- - -Regulation FD Disclosure

At the annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders held on June 18, 2015, Richard A. Kaplan, the Company’s chief executive officer, will provide the Company’s shareholders with the following remarks:

Torvec continues to develop our two products and we see exciting developments in both. This is an update on them.

MyCadian^TM Watch

with CURA^TM Software

“The rest is up to you”.

The unchecked Degradation of an individual’s Alertness is a growing concern and the consequences in some areas are approaching epidemic proportions. For instance it is estimated that 250,000 drivers per day fall asleep at the wheel. Serious and fatal truck, bus, train and automobile accidents are occurring at an alarming rate.

The purpose of monitoring alertness is to prevent these and other emergency situations from happening rather than dealing with them after the fact. For instance waking someone up after they have fallen asleep at the wheel is too late.

There are many millions, if not billions, of dollars being spent on research and technology to either wake people up or predict some sort of alertness problem.

It is our opinion that as of now there is no leading technology that solves the problem.

Research has proven that there are three key discriminators for detection of a decrease in alertness: 1. A quantifiable decrease in responsiveness to stimuli. 2. Biological responses to tiredness or other causes of degradation of alertness. 3. Personal health and sleep dynamics. The difficulty to date has been to create a means to measure and quantify data in order to identify a problem. No practical single metric has been found that can be used to measure this degradation and to properly correlate it to the degradation of performance of the user. Our invention presents such a means through the use of a wearable device that: 1.) uses a unique prescribed movement that measures multiple reaction times and amplitudes in order to create a profile of responsiveness and to compare it to an established individual baseline profile. 2.) Measures certain body functions to determine alertness levels and using metrics, based on an individual’s data, in order to notify the user and/ or other parties that performance appears to be degrading 3.) creates an individual personalized health assessment based on the CURA^TM questionnaire.

The MyCadian ^TM Watch will be a wearable device consisting of the latest physiological monitoring hardware and proprietary CURA^TM software that is intended to detect a “Degradation of Alertness” in a user. This is especially important when an individual’s alertness is essential in properly performing tasks and fulfilling responsibilities. The MyCadian ^TM Watch may also assist the user in remaining alert by periodically providing a stimulus. This can create real, positive and powerful changes in many areas.

Most people know when they and others are tired or impaired however they feel they can get through it. The purpose here is to notify them that they are in danger before the danger actually manifests itself. Numerous studies show that people are very poor judges of their own conditions.

We believe a solutions approach can be created using the MyCadian ^TM Watch, paired with the CURA^TM software to indicate “Degradations of Alertness “ and thus give immediate and important information to the user and other parties. These degradations can be caused by drowsiness, alcohol or other drugs, sickness, psychological problems, thought distractions, etc. Action taken upon a warning of a change in alertness will lead to a better and safer environment.

Our initial concept for the use of the MyCadian watch and CURA software was for “Real Time Alertness Monitoring” for users who need to be alert to do their jobs properly. Subsequently, we realized that there is a growing industry in Fatigue Management Consulting. We realized that this presents a significant opportunity for Torvec. However, we are missing half of the tools for a total product solution, which is education, training and remediation programs for our clients. Our choices are to create them ourselves or buy a company that already has them. Because this is a relativity new industry, most of the existing companies are small but many are rich in content.

We need a fatigue management program that provides education, training, and tools to enhance sleep, alertness, performance, efficiency and safety for a wide variety of industries. Every organization can benefit from fatigue management training. The possible savings to organizations in the form of improved productivity, decreased absenteeism, lower health care costs, less mistakes and increased safety is significant.

For this reason we are in discussions to acquire the assets of an existing and well respected Fatigue Management Consulting company. This may require an additional money raise.

The MyCadian ^TM Watch has the advantages of:

Potential to change the world for the better.

Using the abilities of our system, programs will be created for industries such as:

We expect to have our alpha prototypes ready in the fourth quarter and plan to ship actual product in the first or second quarter of 2016.

Hydraulic Pump

Torvec’s pump technology will evolve into a series of products that will encompass the vast majority of the pump/motor configurations currently being used in the marketplace.

In the light of Torvec’s most recent pump testing and the pumps current configuration we have begun to explore, more in depth, the industrial hydraulic market, namely the fixed displacement pump market. These pumps are primarily used in manufacturing on stampings, presses, and plastic machines. While the fixed displacement market is not as big as the variable market, it can be a meaningful market for us. The two keys to this market are price and peak efficiency and in some application our low rotating mass could be a critical advantage (i.e. Hydraulic Power Units – HPU). There are fixed displacement units in both Industrial and mobile, but the largest is in the Industrial fields. Torvec’s next design will be a variable displacement pump which is a very large market, particularly in mobile equipment.

We have been in contact with major pump manufacturers of construction and excavating equipment. These manufacturers have stated that they would be very interested in our pump technology if the efficiency results prove to be better than what they are currently using, especially if it is in a smaller package and price competitive. Because of rising fuel costs and tougher off-highway pollution standards companies are looking to maximize the efficiency of their products to meet these challenges. In a recent conversation they have said that they “are specifically looking for a smaller, lighter weight pump with low parasitic losses”.

Additionally because of the new Tier 4 engine emissions regulations, there is a need to run diesel engines at a lower RPM, thereby requiring a larger variable pump to make up the difference in RPM, but physical space is limited in the existing machines. These manufacturers are hoping our large pump displacement size and small dimensional footprint will meet this need. Torvec’s pump technology should help them reach these goals.

Unlike our MyCadian watch and CURA software, which is taking existing science and technology and using them in unique ways, our Hydraulic Pump development is actually creating a new technology. This presents a much greater challenge in predicting outcomes and timelines. However our engineers feel we are getting very close to our goals.
