Note 1 – Business Organization, Nature of Operations, and Basis of Presentation
BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. (and including its subsidiaries, “BRT” or the “Company”) develops medical procedures using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult stem cells designed for patients to undergo minimally invasive cellular-based treatments. BRT’s website is at www.biorestorative.com . BRT’s “brtxDISC™ Program” (Disc Implanted Stem Cells) is designed to offer a non-surgical cellular therapy for the treatment and relief of protruding, bulging and herniated discs. BRT’s “ThermoStem® Program” (Brown Fat Stem Cells) focuses on treatments for metabolic disorders, specifically targeting type 2 diabetes and obesity by using brown fat stem cells. BRT has developed an ingredient derived from human adult stem cells, which can be used by third party companies in the development of their own skin care products. The ingredient was developed pursuant to BRT’s “brtx-C Cosmetic Program”. BRT’s Stem Pearls® brand offers plant stem cell-based cosmetic skincare products that are available for purchase online at www.stempearls.com.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2014 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2014 or any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company as of December 31, 2013 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K on April 11, 2014.
Note 2 – Going Concern and Management Plans
As of June 30, 2014, the Company had a working capital deficiency and a stockholders’ deficiency of $8,163,102 and $7,148,786, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company incurred net losses of $1,333,139 and $3,002,815, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company's primary source of operating funds since inception has been equity and debt financings. The Company intends to continue to raise additional capital through debt and equity financings. There is no assurance that these funds will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or attain profitable operations. If the Company is unable to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis and, notwithstanding any request the Company may make, the Company’s debt holders do not agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes, the Company may have to curtail its development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately the Company could be forced to discontinue its operations and liquidate.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 2 – Going Concern and Management Plans - Continued
Subsequent to June 30, 2014, the Company has raised an aggregate of $205,000 through equity financing, has received research and development payments of $89,063, has extended the due date for the repayment of $4,000,000 of debt, and $76,669 and $2,992 of debt and accrued interest, respectively, has been converted into common stock. As a result, the Company expects to be able to fund its operations through October 2014. While there can be no assurance that it will be successful, the Company is in active negotiations to raise additional capital. As of the filing date of this report, the Company has notes payable with an aggregate principal balance of $244,063 which are either past due or payable on demand. The Company is currently in the process of negotiating extensions or discussing conversions to equity with respect to these notes. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in extending or converting these notes. See Note 8 – Subsequent Events for additional details.
Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Stem Cell Cayman Ltd. (“Cayman”) and Stem Pearls, LLC. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, the fair value of the Company’s stock, stock-based compensation, warrants issued in connection with notes payable and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates, including the carrying amount of the intangible assets, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.
Concentrations and Credit Risk
As of June, 30 2014, approximately 75% of the face value of the Company’s outstanding notes payable were received from a single entity (the “Bermuda Lender”). See Note 5 – Notes Payable for additional discussion of the Bermuda Lender.
Revenue Recognition
Research and Development Agreements
The Company’s policy is to recognize research and development revenues on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement, regardless of the payment structure, subject to potential acceleration upon achievement of contractually specified deliverables.
On March 19, 2014, the Company entered into a one-year agreement with a Japanese pharmaceutical company to perform specified research and development activities related to stem cells. The agreement may be terminated earlier or extended, as provided for in the agreement. Payment terms are (1) $150,000 at commencement; (2) $50,000 upon achievement of a specified deliverable; and (3) $50,000 upon achievement of the final specified deliverable. As of June 30, 2014, the initial $150,000 payment had been received and $79,281 was recorded as deferred revenues on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Revenue Recognition – Continued
Research and Development Agreements – Continued
On March 24, 2014, the Company entered into a two-year agreement with a U.S. pharmaceutical company to perform specified research and development activities related to brown fat. The agreement may be terminated earlier or extended, as provided for in the agreement. Payment terms are (1) $250,000 at commencement; (2) $356,250 payable in four equal quarterly installments, subject to acceleration upon achieving a specified deliverable; and (3) $168,750 payable in two equal bi-annual installments, subject to acceleration upon achieving a specified deliverable. As of June 30, 2014, the initial $250,000 payment had been received and $145,694 was recorded as deferred revenues on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized revenue related to research and development agreements of $175,025. The Company did not recognize any revenue related to research and development agreements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
Other
The Company’s policy is to recognize product sales when the risk of loss and title to the product transfers to the customer, after taking into account potential returns. The Company recognizes sublicensing and royalty revenue when all of the following have occurred: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the service is completed without further obligation, (iii) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized revenue related to sales of Stem Pearls® skincare products of $916 and $1,291, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recognized revenue related to sales of Stem Pearls® skincare products of $425 and $1,555, respectively.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding, plus the impact of common shares, if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, plus the conversion of convertible notes.
The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:
June 30, | ||||||||
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Options | 8,709,000 | 3,963,000 | ||||||
Warrants | 6,325,751 | 4,370,890 | ||||||
Convertible notes | 1,482,093 | - | ||||||
Total potentially dilutive shares | 16,516,844 | 8,333,890 |
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Since the shares underlying the Company’s 2010 Equity Participation Plan (the “Plan”) were registered on May 27, 2014, the Company estimates the fair value of the awards granted under the Plan based on the market value of its freely tradable common stock as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board. The fair value of the Company’s restricted equity instruments was estimated by management based on observations of the cash sales prices of both restricted shares and freely tradable shares. Awards granted to directors are treated on the same basis as awards granted to employees.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
Convertible Instruments
GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable GAAP.
When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments (the beneficial conversion feature) based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Based upon the evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements, except as disclosed in Note 8.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the ASC. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective on January 1, 2017 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation,” (“ASU 2014-10”). ASU 2014-10 removes the definition of a development stage entity from the ASC, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from GAAP. In addition, ASU 2014-10 eliminates the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. ASU 2014-10 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to adopt ASU 2014-10 effective with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and its adoption resulted in the removal of previously required development stage disclosures. The Company’s planned principal operations are to develop technology using cell and tissue regenerative therapy protocols, primarily involving adult stem cells, allowing patients to undergo cellular-based treatments. The Company is currently seeking to establish a new laboratory facility and increase its capabilities for the further development of possible cellular-based treatment protocols, stem cell-related intellectual property and research applications. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, which are detailed in Note 2 – Going Concern and Management’s Plans.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period," ("ASU 2014-12"). The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in ASC Topic No. 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in ASU 2014-12 either: (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2014-12 will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Pursuant to the action, the plaintiff is seeking to recover an unspecified amount of damages but at least approximately $193,000 of cash and warrants for the purchase of 80,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. During March 2014, the Company filed its answer to the complaint wherein it denied the allegations and entered thirteen affirmative defenses. Procedural hearings commenced in July 2014. The Company has not accrued for a loss associated with this matter as it believes that the claims are without merit and it intends to vigorously defend this matter.
The Company records legal costs associated with loss contingencies as incurred and accrues for all probable and estimable settlements.

Note 7 – Stockholders’ Deficiency
2010 Equity Participation Plan
On February 18, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an increase in the number of shares of common stock authorized to be issued pursuant to the Plan from 6,000,000 to 12,000,000.
Common Stock and Warrant Offerings
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,968,651 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.25 to $0.45 per unit to investors for aggregate gross proceeds of $945,000. In connection with the purchases, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 729,861 shares of common stock with exercise prices ranging from $0.30 to $0.75 per share. The warrants have terms ranging from two to five years.
See Note 5 – Notes Payable for details associated with common stock issued in conjunction with the conversion and exchange of notes payable. See Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies – Consulting Agreements for details associated with common stock issued pursuant to consulting agreements. See Note 7 – Stockholders’ Deficiency – Warrant Exchange and Reload Program for details associated with common stock issued pursuant to warrant exercises. See Note 8 – Subsequent Events for details regarding additional issuances of common stock and warrants for cash.
Warrant and Option Valuation
The Company has computed the fair value of warrants and options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Option forfeitures are estimated at the time of valuation and reduce expense ratably over the vesting period. This estimate will be adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual option forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate, when it is material. The Company estimated forfeitures related to option grants at annual rates ranging from 0% to 5% for options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The expected term used for warrants and options issued to non-employees is the contractual life and the expected term used for options issued to employees is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” employee option grants. Since the Company’s stock has not been publicly traded for a sufficiently long period of time, the Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.
Warrant Exercise and Reload Program
On November 27, 2013, the Company initiated a limited time program (the “Warrant Exercise and Reload Program”) which, at the election of any warrant holder, would permit them to immediately exercise their outstanding exercisable warrants at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. In connection with the exercise of the warrant, in addition to having received the number of shares pursuant to such exercise, each holder would receive a new warrant for the same number of shares purchased with an exercise price of $0.75 per share and an expiration date of December 31, 2015. The terms of the newly issued warrant permit the Company to redeem the new warrant for a total of $1.00 if the common stock of the Company trades above $1.25 for five consecutive trading days. Under the Warrant Exercise and Reload Program, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 266,667 shares of common stock were exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2014 for aggregate gross proceeds of $80,000. The Company recognized a warrant modification charge of $0 and $30,128 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, which represents the incremental value of the modified warrant and new warrant combined, as compared to the original warrant value, all valued as of the respective modification dates.
Stock Warrants
See Note 5 – Notes Payable for details associated with the issuance of warrants in connection with note issuances and the exchange of notes payable. See Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies – Consulting Agreements for details associated with the issuance of warrants as compensation. See Note 7 – Stockholders’ Deficiency – Common Stock and Warrant Offerings for details associated with the issuance of warrants in connection with common stock and warrant offerings.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. (and including its subsidiaries, "BRT") as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. References in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to “us,” “we,” “our,” and similar terms refer to BRT. This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the federal securities laws. The events described in forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report may not occur. Generally these statements relate to business plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits or other consequences of our plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits from acquisitions to be made by us, or projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings or other aspects of our operating results. The words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” and “continue,” and their opposites and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and are subject to a number of uncertainties, risks and other influences, many of which are beyond our control, which may influence the accuracy of the statements and the projections upon which the statements are based. Factors that may affect our results include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties discussed in Item 7 (“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Factors That May Affect Results and Financial Condition”) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 11, 2014.
Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks and other influences could materially affect our results of operations and whether forward-looking statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate. Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise.
Overview
Our goal is to develop technology using cell and tissue regenerative therapy protocols, primarily involving adult stem cells, allowing patients to undergo cellular-based treatments. As more and more cellular therapies become standard of care, we intend to focus on the unity of medical and scientific explanations for future clinical procedures and outcomes and the provision of adult stem cells for future personal medical applications. Among the initiatives that we are currently pursuing is our brtxDISC™ (Disc Implanted Stem Cells) Program. We have obtained a license that permits us to use technology for adult stem cell treatment of disc and spine conditions, including protruding, bulging and herniated discs. The technology is an advanced stem cell injection procedure that may offer relief from lower back pain, buttock and leg pain, and numbness and tingling in the legs and feet. Another technology we are developing is our ThermoStem® Program. This pre-clinical program involves the use of brown fat in connection with the cell-based treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity as well as hypertension, other metabolic disorders and cardiac deficiencies.
We also offer stem cell derived cosmetic and skin care products. Pursuant to our brtx-C Cosmetic Program, we have developed an ingredient derived from human adult stem cells which can be used by third party companies in the development of their own skin care products. Separately, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Stem Pearls, LLC, we offer facial creams and other skin care products with certain ingredients that may include plant stem cells and/or other plant derived stem cell optimization or regenerative compounds.
We currently are seeking to establish a new laboratory facility and increase our capabilities for the further development of possible cellular-based treatment protocols, stem cell-related intellectual property and research applications.
As of June 30, 2014, our accumulated deficit was $22,815,229, our stockholders’ deficiency was $7,148,786 and our working capital deficiency was $8,163,102. While we have recently begun to generate a modest amount of revenue, our losses have principally been operating expenses incurred in research and development, marketing and promotional activities in order to commercialize our products and services, plus costs associated with meeting the requirements of being a public company. We expect to continue to incur substantial costs for these activities over at least the next year.
21 | Page |
Based upon our working capital deficiency as of June 30, 2014 and our forecast for continued operating losses, we require equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations. As of June 30, 2014, our outstanding debt of $6,029,727, together with interest at stated rates ranging between 8% and 15% per annum, was due on various dates through May 2015. Subsequent to June 30, 2014 and through August 14, 2014, we have received aggregate equity financing of $205,000, we have received research and development payments of $89,063, the due date for the repayment of $4,000,000 of debt has been extended, and $76,669 and $2,992 of debt and accrued interest, respectively, has been exchanged for common stock. Giving effect to the above actions, we currently have notes payable aggregating $244,063 which are either past due or payable on demand. Based upon our working capital deficiency and outstanding debt, we expect to be able to fund our operations through October 2014. We are currently in the process of negotiating extensions or discussing conversions to equity with respect to these notes. We are currently considering several different financing alternatives to support our operations thereafter. If we are unable to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis and, notwithstanding any request we may make, our debt holders do not agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes, we may have to curtail our development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately we could be forced to discontinue our operations and liquidate. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
Recent Developments
Research and Development Agreements
On March 19, 2014, we entered into a one-year research and development agreement with a Japanese pharmaceutical company. Pursuant to the agreement, we have been engaged to provide research and development services with regard to stem cells.

On February 20, 2014, we executed a two-year consulting agreement with the Physiatrist-In-Chief Emeritus for the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City to become our Chief Medical Advisor for Spine Medicine pursuant to where he has assumed responsibility for the clinical aspects of the brtxDISC™ Program. The agreement may be terminated earlier or extended, as provided for in the agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, the consultant is entitled to receive $10,000 per month, escalating to $20,000 per month upon the FDA approval of our Investigational New Drug or Investigational Device Exemption application with respect to our brtxDISC™ Program. In addition, we granted a five-year option to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.65 per share, pursuant to our 2010 Equity Participation Plan (the “Plan”). The option vests ratably over three years on the grant date anniversaries.
On March 14, 2014, we executed an agreement, which will continue until terminated by either party, appointing a new Scientific Advisory Board member. Pursuant to the agreement, we immediately granted the new Advisor a five-year option to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, pursuant to the Plan. The option vests as follows: (i) 12,500 shares immediately and (ii) 12,500 shares on the first anniversary of the grant date. In addition, on each annual anniversary date of the agreement, the Advisor is entitled to a new five-year option to purchase 5,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to the then fair market value of the common stock.

On June 27, 2014, Joel San Antonio resigned from our Board of Directors due to other business commitments.
On June 27, 2014, Paul Jude Tonna was elected to our Board of Directors.

Marketing and promotion
Marketing and promotion expenses include advertising and promotion, marketing and seminars, meals, and entertainment and travel expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, marketing and promotion expenses decreased by $20,176, or 56%, to $15,535 from $35,711 in the comparable 2013 period.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, research and development expenses decreased by $79,586, or 21%, to $293,330 from $372,916 in the comparable 2013 period. The decrease is primarily related to the amendment of our University of Utah Research Agreement resulting in a reduction of expense related to our brown fat and disc/spine initiatives as compared to the prior period of approximately $40,000.
We expect that our research and development expenses will increase with the continuation of the aforementioned initiatives.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, severance costs and stock-based compensation to employees (excluding any cash or non-cash compensation of (a) our Chief Executive Officer attributable to research and development and (b) our Vice President of Research and Development) as well as corporate support expenses such as legal and professional fees, investor relations and occupancy related expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, general and administrative expenses decreased by $16,619, or 3%, to $548,632 from $565,251 in the comparable 2013 period.
We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase as we expand our staff, develop our infrastructure and incur additional costs to support the growth of our business.
Interest expense
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, interest expense increased $40,355, or 126%, to $72,390 from $32,035 in the comparable 2013 period. The increase was due to increased interest-bearing outstanding short-term borrowings as compared to the second quarter of 2013.
Amortization of debt discount
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, amortization of debt discount increased by $40,648, or 39%, to $145,930 from $105,282 in the comparable 2013 period. The increase was primarily due to the recognition of expense related to the beneficial conversion features of convertible notes and the timing of the recognition of the debt discount expense.

Gain on settlement of payables
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, we recognized a gain on settlement of payables of $166,668 related to the amendment of our University of Utah Research Agreement regarding our brown fat and disc/spine initiatives whereby a portion of the fees payable to the University of Utah were cancelled.

Marketing and promotion
Marketing and promotion expenses include advertising and promotion, marketing and seminars, meals, and entertainment and travel expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, marketing and promotion expenses decreased by $18,263, or 28%, to $47,329 from $65,592 in the comparable 2013 period.
We expect that marketing and promotion expenses will increase in the future as we increase our marketing activities following full commercialization of our products and services.
Consulting
Consulting expenses consist of consulting fees and stock-based compensation to consultants. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, consulting expenses increased $454,258, or 123%, to $824,763 from $370,505 in the comparable 2013 period. The increase is primarily due to an approximate $514,000 increase in non-cash stock-based compensation to directors, consultants and advisors and an approximate increase of $20,000 in directors fees related to the resignation of one the members of our Board of Directors whereby we agreed to pay the director for the remainder of his 2014 compensation, partially offset by an approximate $81,000 of reduction of cash consulting fees.
Research and development
Research and development expenses include cash and non-cash compensation of (a) our Chief Executive Officer (in part); (b) our Vice President of Research and Development; and (c) our Scientific Advisory Board members, and costs related to our brown fat and disc/spine initiatives. Research and development expenses are expensed as they are incurred. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, research and development expenses increased by $13,713, or 2%, to $787,071 from $773,358 in the comparable 2013 period.
We expect that our research and development expenses will increase with the continuation of the aforementioned initiatives.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, severance costs and stock-based compensation to employees (excluding any cash or non-cash compensation of (a) our Chief Executive Officer attributable to research and development and (b) our Vice President of Research and Development) as well as corporate support expenses such as legal and professional fees, investor relations and occupancy related expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, general and administrative expenses decreased by $20,729, or 2%, to $1,184,632 from $1,205,361 in the comparable 2013 period.
We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase as we expand our staff, develop our infrastructure and incur additional costs to support the growth of our business.
Interest expense
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, interest expense decreased $84,382, or 37%, to $145,521 from $229,903 in the comparable 2013 period. The decrease was due to reduced interest-bearing outstanding short-term borrowings as compared to the comparable 2013 period.
Amortization of debt discount
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, amortization of debt discount increased by $77,804, or 47%, to $244,435 from $166,631 in the comparable 2013 period. The increase was primarily due to the recognition of expense related to the beneficial conversion features of convertible notes and the timing of the recognition of the debt discount expense.
Loss on extinguishment of notes payable, net
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded a net loss on extinguishment of notes payable of $49,094, which is associated with investors’ exchange of debt for equity securities, as compared to a net loss on extinguishment of notes payable of $7,200 for the comparable 2013 period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded expense of $30,128 related to the modification of outstanding investor warrants.
Gain on settlement of payables
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recognized a gain on settlement of payables of $176,268 primarily related to the amendment of our University of Utah Research Agreement regarding our brown fat and disc/spine initiatives whereby a portion of the fees payable to the University of Utah were cancelled.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
We measure our liquidity in a number of ways, including the following:
June 30, | December 31, | |||||||
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
(unaudited) | ||||||||
Cash | $ | 59,163 | $ | 201,098 | ||||
Working Capital Deficiency | $ | (8,163,102 | ) | $ | (7,262,748 | ) | ||
Notes Payable (Gross - Current) | $ | 5,953,058 | $ | 5,754,500 |
Availability of Additional Funds
Based upon our working capital deficiency and stockholders’ deficiency of $8,163,102 and $7,148,786, respectively, as of June 30, 2014, we require additional equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
As of June 30, 2014, our outstanding debt of $6,029,727, together with interest at stated rates ranging between 8% and 15% per annum, was due on various dates through May 2015. Subsequent to June 30, 2014 and through August 14, 2014, we have received aggregate equity financing of $205,000, we have received research and development payments of $89,063, the due date for the repayment of $4,000,000 of debt has been extended, and $76,669 and $2,992 of debt and accrued interest, respectively, has been exchanged for common stock. Giving effect to the above actions, we currently have notes payable aggregating $244,063 which are either past due or payable on demand. As of the date of filing, our outstanding debt was as follows:
Principal | ||||
Maturity Date | Amount | |||
Past Due/On Demand | $ | 244,063 | ||
QE 9/30/14 | 285,000 | |||
QE 12/31/14 | 4,672,685 | |||
QE 3/31/15 | 50,000 | |||
QE 6/30/15 | 693,810 | |||
$ | 5,945,558 |
27 | Page |
Based upon our working capital deficiency, outstanding debt and forecast for continued operating losses we expect that the cash we currently have available will fund our operations through October 2014. Thereafter, we will need to raise further capital, through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, to support our future operations and to repay our debt (unless, if requested, the debt holders agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes). Our operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings.
We may be unable to raise sufficient additional capital when we need it or raise capital on favorable terms. Debt financing may require us to pledge certain assets and enter into covenants that could restrict certain business activities or our ability to incur further indebtedness, and may contain other terms that are not favorable to our stockholders or us. If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations or obtain funds by entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, our sources and uses of cash were as follows:
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
We experienced negative cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 in the amounts of $1,759,925 and $1,474,259, respectively. The net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to cash used to fund a net loss of $3,002,815, adjusted for net non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $1,116,329 partially offset by $126,561 of net cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, primarily as a result of increases in accrued interest, expenses and other current liabilities and deferred revenues. The net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to cash used to fund a net loss of $2,817,193, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $596,804 partially offset by $746,130 of net cash provided primarily as a result of increases in accounts payable plus accrued expenses and other current liabilities, due to cash constraints during the period.
Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, $980 of cash was provided by proceeds received from the sale of fixed assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, no cash was provided by investing activities.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $1,617,010 and $1,474,015, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, $592,010 of net proceeds were from debt financings and $1,025,000 of proceeds were from equity financings (including proceeds received in connection with the exercise of common stock purchase warrants). During the six months ended June 30, 2013, $905,000 of proceeds were from equity financings and $569,015 of proceeds were from debt financings.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There are no material changes from the critical accounting policies set forth in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2014, except as disclosed below. Please refer to that document for disclosures regarding the critical accounting policies related to our business.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the ASC. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective on January 1, 2017 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09on our condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation,” (“ASU 2014-10”). ASU 2014-10 removes the definition of a development stage entity from the ASC, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from GAAP. In addition, ASU 2014-10 eliminates the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. ASU 2014-10 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. We have elected to adopt ASU 2014-10 effective with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and its adoption resulted in the removal of previously required development stage disclosures.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period," ("ASU 2014-12"). The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in ASC Topic No. 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in ASU 2014-12 either: (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. We do not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2014-12 will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4: Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive and Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal controls are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized, recorded and reported; and (2) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, to permit the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
29 | Page |
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, management, with the participation of our Principal Executive and Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive and Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations of the Effectiveness of Control
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Not applicable.
Not applicable. See, however, Item 7 (“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition”) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2014.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we issued the following securities in transactions not involving any public offering. For each of the following transactions, we relied upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. For each such transaction, we did not use general solicitation or advertising to market the securities, the securities were offered to a limited number of persons, the investors had access to information regarding us (including information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2014, and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and press releases made by us), and we were available to answer questions from prospective investors. We reasonably believe that each of the investors is an accredited investor. The proceeds were used to reduce our working capital deficit.

For purposes of this Section 3, the term “Company” shall include the Company and each and every of its subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions, parents, and respective predecessors, successors and assigns and their respective directors, officers, representatives, shareholders, members, managers, agents, employees, consultants and independent contractors, past, present and future.
3.1 (a) San Antonio agrees that he will not in any way disparage the Company or any of its officers or directors, or make or solicit any comments, statements or the like, that may be considered to be derogatory or detrimental to the good name or business reputation of the Company or any of its officers or directors. San Antonio similarly agrees not to otherwise take or condone any action that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to harm the Company, to impair the reputation of the Company or any of its officers or directors, or to lead to unwanted or unfavorable publicity to the Company or any of its officers or directors.
(b) The Company agrees that it will not in any way disparage San Antonio, or make or solicit any comments, statements or the like, that may be considered to be derogatory or detrimental to the good name or business reputation of San Antonio. The Company similarly agrees not to otherwise take or condone any action that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to harm San Antonio, to impair San Antonio’s reputation, or to lead to unwanted or unfavorable publicity to San Antonio.
3.2 (a) From and after the date hereof, San Antonio will treat and hold in confidence and not disclose any and all Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) and refrain from using any of the Confidential Information, and shall deliver promptly to the Company or destroy, at the written request and option of the Company, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information which are in his possession. In the event that San Antonio is requested or required (by oral question or written request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar legal proceeding) to disclose any Confidential Information, he will notify the Company promptly of the request or requirement so that the Company may seek a protective order.
(b) For purposes hereof, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean (i) the terms and provisions of this Agreement, (ii) all information given to San Antonio, directly or indirectly, by the Company, whether discussed or handed out at a Board of Directors or committee meeting, or circulated to directors in advance of, or following, a meeting, (iii) all information otherwise obtained by San Antonio in his capacity as a director, (iv) all information relating to the Company otherwise obtained by San Antonio during the course of his service as a director and (v) all other confidential or proprietary information and trade secrets of the Company including, without limitation, all correspondence, memoranda, files, manuals, books, lists, financial, operating or marketing records, forms, concepts, sales presentations, marketing programs, marketing strategy, business practices, bidding information, methods of operation, trademarks, patents, patent applications, other intellectual property rights, licenses, software and other technical information, customer leads, supplier lists, supplier leads, contract proposals, documents identifying past, present and future customers, hiring and training methods, personnel records, investment policies, pricing and cost information, financial and other confidential and proprietary information concerning the Company’s operations and expansion plans, other trade secrets, any analyses, compilations or reports with regard to the foregoing, and all other information relating to the Company, whether such information is in written form or on magnetic tape, floppy disks, cd-roms or other means of storing electronic data. Confidential Information shall not include any information (i) which has been publicly disclosed by means other than by a breach of a confidentiality agreement, (ii) which is subsequently disclosed by any third party not in breach of a confidentiality agreement or obligation, or (iii) that is authorized in writing by the Company to be disclosed or released by San Antonio.
3.3 (a) The parties recognize that, because of the nature of the subject matter of this Section 3, it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to determine actual damages to the Company in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision hereof by San Antonio. Accordingly, in such event, the Company shall have the following rights and remedies:
(i) the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, by way of injunctive relief or otherwise, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company, that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company and that the Company shall not be required to post any bond or other security in connection therewith;
(ii) the right and remedy to require San Antonio to account for and pay over to the Company all monies and other consideration derived or received by San Antonio as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of any of the provisions of this Section 3, and San Antonio hereby agrees to account for and pay over such monies and other consideration to the Company; and
(iii) the right to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses incurred in any action or proceeding in which it seeks to enforce its rights hereunder.
(b) The Company agrees that, in the event of a breach of the provisions of Section 3.1(b) hereof, San Antonio shall have the right to recover reasonable attorneys’ and costs and expenses incurred in any action or proceeding in which he seeks to enforce his rights with regard thereto.
3.4 Each of the rights and remedies enumerated above shall be independent of the other, and shall be severally enforceable, and all of such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the parties under law or in equity.
3.5 San Antonio shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any securities of the Company during the 180 day period following the consummation of any public or private offering of the Company’s securities, or other Company financing, in each case that is either underwritten or for which the Company utilizes a placement agent, or for such longer period of time as any of the Company’s officers and/or directors so agree. The underwriters, placement agents and/or subscribers in connection with such offering or financing are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 3.5 and shall have the right, power, and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party to this Agreement. San Antonio shall execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters, placement agents and/or subscribers in connection with such offering or financing that are consistent with this Section 3.5 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.
3.6 San Antonio agrees that, from and after the date hereof, he shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of (a) more than ten thousand (10,000) shares of Common Stock of the Company on any particular day and/or (b) more than two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) shares of Common Stock of the Company during any three (3) calendar month period (in each case subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like). The foregoing restriction is in addition to any volume limitations provided for under applicable law. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, San Antonio is delivering to the Company the certificates representing all shares of stock owned, directly or indirectly, by him so that a legend may be placed on such certificates with respect to the foregoing restrictions. San Antonio acknowledges and agrees that a legend with regard to the foregoing restrictions shall be placed on any certificates for shares hereafter issued to him. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit the provisions of Section 3.5.
3.7 The restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement are material elements of the consideration to be paid by the Company under this Agreement and are reasonable and properly required for the adequate protection of the Company.
3.8 San Antonio understands that, in the event of any violation of the covenants set forth in this Section 3, the Company’s obligation to pay the Director Services Amount shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, San Antonio shall be obligated to reimburse the Company for all Director Services Amounts paid and the outstanding options held by San Antonio shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.
4. COOPERATION . San Antonio agrees to provide reasonable support and cooperation to the Company, including litigation support, concerning any business matter of which he has knowledge by virtue of his service as a director of the Company prior to the date hereof.
5. AFFIRMATIONS . San Antonio affirms that he has not filed, caused to be filed, or presently is a party to any claim, complaint, or action against the Company in any forum.
6. RETURN OF PROPERTY . San Antonio certifies that he has returned all Company property in his possession.
7. CHOICE OF LAW; JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY . The parties agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding choice of law principles thereof. The Company and San Antonio hereby irrevocably consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within Nassau or Suffolk County, New York over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement and each party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or any legal action related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts. Each party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that such party may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. In connection with any controversy arising out of or relating to the Agreement, each of the Company and San Antonio irrevocably (a) consents to service of process out of the aforementioned courts, (b) WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) AND ANY OBJECTION THAT IT OR HE MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT BROUGHT IN THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS, (c) agrees that service of process in any such action may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be effected by mailing a copy of such process by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party at its or his address as provided in Section 11, and (d) agrees that nothing in the Agreement shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.
8. ENTIRE AGREEMENT . This Agreement contains the full and complete understanding and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous written or oral understandings or agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof.
