Prospectus Summary

The following summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus. It may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should read the entire Prospectus carefully, especially the discussion regarding the risks of investing in CTT common stock under the heading “Risk Factors,” before investing in CTT common stock.

Business

Competitive Technologies, Inc. (“CTT”), is a Delaware corporation incorporated in 1971 to succeed an Illinois corporation incorporated in 1968. CTT and its subsidiary (collectively, the “registrant,” “we,” “our,” “us”, or the “Company”), provide technology transfer, selling and licensing services focused on the technology needs of its customers, matching those requirements with commercially viable technology solutions, bridging the gap between market demand and raw innovation. We do this in two ways. First, we develop, and have developed over the years, relationships with the technology and research arms of universities, independent research institutions and companies, and inventors, patent attorneys and patent or other intellectual property holders, whom we then formally represent, and they become our “Clients”. From our Clients we obtain rights to serve as their agent, or receive a license from them to their invention, patent or intellectual property rights (collectively, “Technology”). We then find customers, or end users, who have a use for the particular Technology, and we grant them a license or a sublicense to the Technology either to commercialize (sell) it or further develop the Technology. Second, as we also have contacts and relationships with those who have a need or use for particular Technologies (usually companies and industry, who may or may not be current customers of ours), we match their needs with one of our Technologies (“reverse marketing”), or find a Technology to fit their needs and grant them a license or a sublicense. Since we focus on both Technologies available (Client side) and Technologies wanted or needed (customer side), we believe that we provide a valuable service in matching market needs to Technology solutions. Using our services provides benefits to both the Technology provider and the user of the Technology; the Client, or Technology provider (usually a university or an inventor), can focus solely on research and innovation, rather than on selling and marketing, and the staffing needed to sell and market their Technology, and the Technology user, or customer, can focus on selling, development and marketing, rather than on research and development. We also work to maintain and enforce our Clients’ and our own legal patent rights with respect to Technologies, and monitor and address any infringement. Our goal is to maximize the value of the Technology for the benefit of our Clients, customers and shareholders.

When we acquire a Technology, we may acquire exclusive or non-exclusive rights, worldwide rights or rights limited to a specific geographic area. When we license or sublicense rights to our customers, we may grant exclusive or non-exclusive rights, worldwide or geographically limited rights and/or we may limit rights to a defined field of use. Technologies can be either early stage, mid stage, or late stage. Currently, we define early stage Technologies as those that require further development and/or testing and regulatory approval before they can be commercialized and generate significant revenues, such period of time usually being in excess of 30 months. Mid stage are defined as Technologies that require some further refinement, but we believe are closer (approximately 15 - 30 months) to generating significant revenues than early stage. Late stage Technologies are fully developed and ready to be marketed and usually can generate revenues immediately, or within 15 months. We strive to have a balanced portfolio with Technologies in each stage of the life cycle; our goal is to have over half our portfolio in late stage Technologies. Currently, we have less than half our portfolio in late stage Technologies, and we are focusing on correcting this imbalance in our portfolio. The stage that a Technology is classified in may change at any time based upon information currently available to us. In addition, how we define a stage may change.

We identify and commercialize (or find companies that will commercialize Technologies for us) innovative Technologies in life and physical sciences, electronics, and nanotechnologies. Life sciences include medical testing, diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, biotechnologies, medical devices and other medical or biological applications. Physical sciences include chemical, display, and environmental applications. Electronics include communications, semiconductors, Internet related, e-commerce and consumer electronics applications. Nanotechnologies deal with the manipulation of microscopic particles into useful arrangements, and smart or novel materials (a nano particle is one thousand times smaller than the width of a human hair). We currently have Technologies in each of these areas, though a majority of our revenues come from the life sciences area.

We estimate that over the years we have licensed nearly 500 Technologies to and from corporations, and can count as our Clients several major universities and inventors.

We compete with universities, law firms, venture capital firms and other technology commercialization firms for technology licensing opportunities. Many organizations offer some aspect of technology transfer services, and some are well established and have more financial and human resources than we do. The market is highly fragmented and many participants focus on a specific technology area.

Corporate Information

CTT is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Our executive offices are located at 1960 Bronson Road, Fairfield, Connecticut 06824, and our telephone number is (203) 255-6044. The address of our website is www.competitivetech.net. Unless otherwise stated herein, information on our web site is not part of this Prospectus.

CTT Common Stock

CTT common stock trades on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “CTT.”


The Offering

On February 25, 2004, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (“Fusion Capital”), pursuant to which Fusion Capital has agreed to purchase on each trading day, subject to CTT’s rights to increase, reduce or suspend these purchases and terminate the agreement with Fusion Capital at any time, $12,500 of our common stock up to an aggregate purchase price, under certain conditions, of $5.0 million. The $5.0 million of common stock is to be purchased over a twenty (20) month period, subject to a six (6) month extension or earlier termination at our discretion. Subject to certain provisions of the common stock purchase agreement, we can control the size and timing of any sales of our common stock to Fusion Capital. On January 9, 2006 we notified Fusion Capital that we were extending the common stock purchase agreement by six (6) months.

In May 2004, we registered 1,248,115 shares of our common stock for sale by Fusion Capital, of which 716,774 shares have been sold to Fusion Capital and 82,321 shares have been issued to Fusion Capital as a commitment fee as of January 31, 2006. Fusion Capital, the selling stockholder under this Prospectus, is offering for sale the remaining shares from the February 25, 2004 agreement, consisting of up to 531,341 shares of our common stock. All of these shares previously were registered in our May 2004 registration statement, number 333-113751 on Form S-1, and our February 2005 registration statement, number 333-113751 on Form S-3.

As of January 31, 2006, there were 7,669,333 shares of our common stock outstanding, including the 82,321 shares issued to Fusion Capital as a commitment fee, but excluding the additional 6,242 shares issuable to Fusion Capital as compensation for its purchase commitment, and the additional 442,778 shares not yet purchased by Fusion Capital which are included in the total shares offered by Fusion Capital pursuant to this Prospectus. The number of shares offered by this Prospectus represents approximately 6.9% of the total common stock outstanding as of January 31, 2006. The number of shares ultimately offered for sale by Fusion Capital is dependent upon the number of shares purchased by Fusion Capital under the common stock purchase agreement. This number may be affected by other factors more fully described under the heading “The Fusion Capital Transaction.”

Risk Factors

An investment in CTT common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors and other information in this Prospectus before deciding to invest in shares of CTT common stock. Our most significant risks and uncertainties are described below; however, they are not the only risks that we face. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects for growth could be materially adversely affected, the trading of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should acquire shares of our common stock only if you can afford to lose your entire investment. We make various statements in this section which constitute “forward-looking statements” under Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

In three of the last five fiscal years, we have experienced significant net losses.

The table below summarizes our consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the five years ended July 31, 2005:

Although we have generated significant net income and positive cash flows in fiscal 2005 and 2004, we can not be sure that this trend will continue. For our fiscal first quarter ended October 31, 2005, we incurred a net loss of $333,005. We incurred substantial net losses in the three years ending July 31, 2003, principally from low revenues and expenses related to patent enforcement litigation, which we have since reduced significantly.

To sustain profitability, we must successfully license technologies with current and long-term revenue streams, and we must continually add new such licenses. In addition, we must control our costs, including litigation related costs.

Our future royalty revenues, obtaining rights to new technologies, granting licenses, enforcing intellectual property rights, and profits or losses are subject to many factors outside our control, or that we currently cannot anticipate, including technological changes and developments, economic cycles, and the ability of our licensees to commercialize our technologies successfully. Consequently, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to be profitable. We cannot be assured that we will be successful in these efforts.

We derived more than 96% of our retained royalty revenues in fiscal 2005 from four technologies.

We derived approximately $11,135,000, or 96%, of 2005 retained royalties from four technologies: $8,932,000, or 77%, from the homocysteine assay, $500,000, or 4%, from Ethyol, $860,000, or 8%, from gallium arsenide patents and $843,000, or 7%, from sexual dysfunction patents. In fiscal 2004, we derived approximately 74% of our retained royalties from the same four technologies.

Our U.S. patent that covers the homocysteine assay expires in July 2007. Of the $8,932,000 of homocysteine assay royalties, approximately $6,181,000 was for non-refundable, non-creditable, up-front royalty fees. The remaining $2,751,000 includes revenues from many new licenses which did not accrue revenue for a full year in 2005. Our retained royalties from Ethyol are limited to a maximum of $500,000 per calendar year, and since calendar 2003 we have received the maximum. We expect Ethyol retained royalties to continue at their 2005 level for several years (this patent expires in December 2010). Certain of the gallium arsenide patents have expired and we expect less retained royalties from gallium arsenide in the future. Retained royalties from the sexual dysfunction license include the settlement of a mediated dispute.

Such a concentration of revenues makes our operations vulnerable to changes in any one of them, especially the homocysteine assay, and such changes could have a significant adverse impact on our financial position.

3

In November 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court (the “Court”) agreed to hear an appeal of a judgment upholding and validating our homocysteine assay patent. We currently expect the Court to hear oral arguments in late March 2006, and issue their findings in June 2006, although this schedule may be delayed. This uncertainty may have an adverse impact on our current licenses. In addition, if our patent is not upheld this will have a significant, adverse impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial position, and we may have to refund certain royalties paid to us in the past.

Certain of our licensed patents have recently expired or will expire in the near future and we may not be able to replace their royalty revenues.

In fiscal 2005, we derived retained royalties from licenses on twenty-four (24) patented technologies. We expect royalties from twelve (12) of those patented technologies to expire in the next five years. When all patents underlying a license expire, our royalties from that license cease, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to replace those royalties with royalty revenues from new or other licenses. Those patented technologies represented approximately 87% of our retained royalties in fiscal 2005. Fiscal 2005 retained royalty revenues of approximately $612,000, or 5%, $9,240,000, or 79%, and $224,000, or 2%, respectively, were from patents expiring in fiscal 2005, 2007 and 2009. The loss of these royalties, especially the homocysteine assay, may materially, adversely affect our operating results if we are unable to replace them with revenue from other licenses or other sources. Since it often takes two or more years for a technology to produce significant revenues, we must continuously seek new sources of future revenues.

We currently are involved in lawsuits that historically have involved significant legal expenses. In addition, our most recent former President and Chief Executive Officer has filed complaints against us seeking certain damages. If the courts or regulatory agencies in these suits or actions decide against us, this could have a materially adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We have incurred significant legal expenses in such lawsuits and actions, including patent enforcement lawsuits. If the courts in these suits decide against us, or if we have to incur significant legal and other expenses, this could have a materially adverse affect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Sales of our common stock to Fusion Capital will cause dilution to current stockholders and Fusion Capital’s sale of those shares of common stock could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

The price of the common stock to be sold and issued to Fusion Capital pursuant to the common stock purchase agreement will fluctuate based on the price of our common stock. All shares under the offering are freely tradable. Fusion Capital’s purchase price per share is equal to the lesser of: (i) the lowest sale price of our common stock on the purchase date or (ii) the average of the three (3) lowest closing sale prices of our common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive trading days prior to the date of a purchase by Fusion Capital.

Fusion Capital may sell none, some or all of the shares of common stock purchased from us at any time. We expect that Fusion Capital will sell any shares that they purchase over a period of up to twenty-six (26) months from the commencement date (May 6, 2004) of the agreement, including a six (6) month extension or earlier termination at our discretion. Depending upon market liquidity at the time, a sale of shares by Fusion Capital at any given time could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. The sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price at which we might otherwise wish to effect sales.

In May 2004, we registered 1,248,115 shares of our common stock for sale by Fusion Capital of which 799,095 shares have been issued to Fusion Capital as of January 31, 2006. We have the right but not the obligation to sell additional shares to Fusion Capital under the common stock purchase agreement. Under our agreement with Fusion Capital, Fusion Capital does not have the right or the obligation to purchase any shares of our common stock in the event that the purchase price is less than $1.00 per share.

The sale of shares to Fusion Capital may result in significant dilution to the ownership interests of other holders of our common stock. The amount of dilution would be higher if the per share market price of our common stock is lower at the time we sell shares to Fusion Capital, since a lower market price would cause more shares of our common stock to be issued to Fusion Capital for the same proceeds. Subsequent sales of these shares in the open market by Fusion Capital also may have the effect of lowering our stock price, thereby increasing the number of shares issuable under the common stock purchase agreement and consequently further diluting our outstanding shares. Although we have the right to reduce or suspend sales to Fusion Capital at any time, our financial condition at the time may require us to waive our right to suspend purchases even if there is a decline in the market price.

4

 
The existence of the agreement with Fusion Capital to purchase shares of our common stock could cause downward pressure on the market price of our common stock.

Both the actual and the potential for dilution resulting from sales of our common stock to Fusion Capital could cause holders to elect to sell their shares of our common stock, which could cause the trading price of our common stock to decrease. In addition, prospective investors anticipating the downward pressure on the price of our common stock due to the shares available for sale by Fusion Capital could refrain from purchases or cause sales or short sales in anticipation of a decline of the market price, which may itself cause the price of our stock to decline.

Employee and director stock options and warrants may potentially cause dilution to our current stockholders and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

As of January 31, 2006, an aggregate of 992,973 employee and director stock options were outstanding and we expect to issue additional options and possibly warrants in the future. For the life of all such options and warrants, the holders of such options and warrants will have the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our common stock, with a resulting dilution in the interest of holders of our common stock. The terms on which we will be able to obtain additional capital during the life of such options and warrants may be adversely affected.

A former Chief Executive Officer and CTT have been named in a civil suit filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Until this matter is resolved, our stock price may be adversely impacted, our operations and expenses may be negatively affected, and our ability to obtain any debt financing may be restricted.

On August 11, 2004, the SEC filed a civil suit naming Competitive Technologies, Inc., our former Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) from 2001, and six individual brokers in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut, alleging that from at least July 1998 to June 2001, CTT was involved in a scheme to manipulate the price of our stock. The case relates to our 1998 stock repurchase program under which we repurchased shares of our common stock from time to time during the period from October 28, 1998 to March 22, 2001. CTT was named as a defendant in the suit due to the alleged conduct of our former CEO, whose conduct in connection with the stock repurchase program was imputed to CTT as a matter of law. Relating to CTT, the SEC in the suit seeks a permanent injunction prohibiting us from further violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a civil penalty pursuant to Section 21(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (this section provides for maximum penalties of $550,000 for a corporate entity and $110,000 per individual). On September 24, 2004, we responded to this civil suit, and filed a motion to dismiss the suit. On October 15, 2004, the SEC filed a motion opposing our motion to dismiss the suit. Further action in this case is pending. Until this matter is resolved, our stock price may be adversely impacted, our operations and expenses may be negatively affected, and our ability to obtain debt financing may be severely restricted. Costs incurred since August 2004 relating to the suit have been covered by our directors’ and officers’ insurance carrier.

Our By-Laws provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents in certain circumstances. We carry directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (subject to deductibles) to reduce these financial obligations.

Our directors, officers, employees and agents may claim indemnification in certain circumstances. We are currently exposed to potential indemnification claims in connection with the civil suit filed by the SEC and with complaints filed by certain former employees alleging discriminatory employment practices in violation of Section 806 of the Corporate and Criminal Fraud Accountability Act of 2002.

We seek to limit and reduce our potential financial obligations for indemnification by carrying directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (subject to deductibles).

Our revenue growth depends on our ability to understand the technology requirements of our customers in the context of their markets. If we fail to understand their technology needs or markets, we limit our ability to meet those needs and to generate revenues.

We believe that by focusing on the technology needs of our customers, we are better positioned to generate revenues by providing them technology solutions. In this way, the market demands of our customers drive our revenues. The better we understand their markets and requirements, the better we are able to identify and obtain effective technology solutions for our customers. Currently, we rely on our professional staff and contract business development consultants to understand our customers’ technical, commercial, and market requirements and constraints, and to identify and obtain effective technology solutions for them.

5

 
Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain key personnel.

Our success depends on the knowledge, efforts and abilities of a small number of key personnel. Dr. D. J. Freed is our President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael D. Davidson is our Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Dr. Michael E. Kiley is our Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, and Paul A. Levitsky is our Vice President, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary. We rely on our professional staff and contract business development consultants to identify intellectual property opportunities and technology solutions, and to negotiate and close license agreements. Competition for personnel with the necessary breadth and depth of experience is intense and we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to attract and retain qualified personnel. If we are unable to hire and retain highly qualified professionals and consultants, our revenues, prospects, financial condition and future activities could be materially adversely affected.

We depend on our relationships with inventors to gain access to new technologies and inventions. If we fail to maintain existing relationships or to develop new relationships, we may reduce the number of technologies and inventions available to generate revenues. In addition, technology can change rapidly and industry standards are continually evolving. This often makes products obsolete or results in short product lifecycles. Our profitability also depends on our licensees’ ability to adapt to such changes.

We do not invent new technologies or products ourselves. We depend on relationships with universities, corporations, governmental agencies, research institutions, inventors, and others to provide us with technology-based opportunities that we can develop into profitable royalty-bearing licenses. Our failure to maintain these relationships or to develop new relationships could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. If we are unable to forge new relationships or to maintain our current relationships, we may be unable to identify new technology-based opportunities and royalty-bearing licenses. We also are dependent on our clients’ abilities to develop new technologies, introduce new products and adapt to changes in technology and economic needs.

Further, we cannot be certain that our current or any new relationships will provide the volume or quality of available new technologies necessary to sustain our business. In some cases, universities and other sources of new technologies may compete against us as they seek to develop and commercialize these technologies themselves or through entities that they develop, finance and/or control. In other cases, universities receive financing for basic research from companies in exchange for the exclusive right to commercialize any resulting inventions. These and other strategies may reduce the number of technology sources (potential clients) to whom we can market our services. If we are unable to secure new sources of technology, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We receive most of our revenues from customers over whom we have no control.

We rely on royalties received from our customers for revenues. The royalties we receive from our customers depend on their efforts and expenditures and we have no control over their efforts or expenditures. Additionally, our customers’ development of new products involves great risk since many new technologies do not become commercially profitable products despite extensive development efforts. Our license agreements do not require customers to advise us of problems they may encounter in attempting to develop commercial products and they usually treat such information as confidential. You should expect our customers to encounter problems frequently. Our customers’ failure to resolve such problems may result in a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our customers, and therefore we, depend on receiving government approvals to exploit certain licensed products commercially.

Commercial exploitation of some licensed patents may require the approval of governmental regulatory agencies, especially in the life sciences area, and there is no assurance that those agencies will grant such approvals. In the United States, the principal governmental agency involved is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). The FDA’s approval process is rigorous, time consuming and costly. In addition, governmental agencies similar to the FDA exist in other countries. Unless and until a licensee obtains approval for a product requiring such approval, the licensee may not sell the product in the U.S.A. or such other countries, and therefore we will not receive royalty income based on sales of such product.

If our clients and we are unable to protect the intellectual property underlying our licenses or to enforce our patents adequately, we may be unable to exploit such licensed patents or technologies successfully.

Our success in earning revenues from licenses is subject to the risk that issued patents may be declared invalid, that patents may not issue on patent applications, or that competitors may circumvent or infringe our licensed patents and thereby render our licensed patents not commercially viable. In addition, when all patents underlying a license expire, our royalties from that license cease, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to replace those royalties with royalty revenues from new or other licenses.

6

 
Patent litigation has increased; it can be expensive and may delay or prevent our customers’ products from entering the market.

Our clients and/or we may pursue patent infringement litigation or interference proceedings against sellers of products that we believe infringe our patent rights. Holders of conflicting patents or sellers of competing products also may challenge our patents in patent infringement litigation or interference proceedings. We cannot assure you that our clients and/or we will be successful in any such litigation or proceeding, and the results and costs of such litigation or proceeding may materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

Developing new products, creating effective commercialization strategies for technologies, and enhancing those products and strategies are subject to inherent risks. These risks include unanticipated delays, unrecoverable expenses, technical problems or difficulties, and the possibility that development funds will be insufficient. The occurrence of any one or more of these risks could make us abandon or substantially change our technology commercialization strategy.

Our success depends on, among other factors, our clients developing new or improved technologies, our customers’ products meeting targeted cost and performance objectives for large-scale production, and our customers’ ability to adapt technologies to satisfy industry standards, satisfy consumer expectations and needs, and bring their products to market before the market is saturated. They may encounter unanticipated technical or other problems that result in increased costs or substantial delays in introducing and marketing new products. Current and future products may not be reliable or durable under actual operating conditions or otherwise commercially viable and competitive. New products may not satisfy price or other performance objectives when introduced in the marketplace. Any of these events would adversely affect our realization of royalties from such new products.

Strong competition within our industry may reduce our client base.

We compete with universities, law firms, venture capital firms and other technology commercialization firms for technology licensing opportunities. Many organizations offer some aspect of technology transfer services, and some are well established and have more financial and human resources than we do. This market is highly fragmented and many participants focus on a specific technology area.

We have not paid dividends and may not pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

We have not paid cash dividends on our common stock since 1981, and, our Board of Directors currently does not have plans to declare or pay cash dividends in the future. However, the decision to pay dividends is solely at the discretion of our Board of Directors based upon factors that they deem relevant, and may change at any time.
 

Being a public company increases our administrative costs.
 
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and new listing requirements subsequently adopted by the American Stock Exchange in response to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, have required changes in corporate governance practices, internal control policies and audit committee practices of public companies. These new rules, regulations, and requirements have significantly increased our legal, audit, financial, compliance and administrative costs, and have made certain other activities more time consuming and costly. The additional costs are expected to continue. In addition, these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain directors and officers liability insurance in the future, and could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members for our Board of Directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee.

The Fusion Capital Transaction

General

On February 25, 2004, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (“Fusion Capital”) under which Fusion Capital agreed to purchase on each trading day during the term of the agreement, subject to our right to increase, reduce or suspend these purchases and our right to terminate the agreement with Fusion Capital at any time, $12,500 of our common stock up to an aggregate of $5.0 million. The $5.0 million of common stock is to be purchased over a twenty (20) month period, subject to a six (6) month extension or earlier termination at our discretion. On January 9, 2006, we notified Fusion Capital that we were extending the common stock purchase agreement by six (6) months. The purchase price of our common stock will be based upon the future market price of the common stock without any fixed discount to the market price. We have the right to set a minimum purchase price at any time as described below. Fusion Capital does not have the right or the obligation to purchase shares of our common stock in the event that the price of our common stock is less than $1.00 per share.

We have authorized the sale and issuance of up to 1,248,115 shares of our common stock to Fusion Capital under the common stock purchase agreement, all of which we registered in May 2004. At that time, we estimated that the maximum number of shares we would sell to Fusion Capital under the common stock purchase agreement would be 1,159,552 shares (exclusive of the 88,563 shares that are issuable to Fusion Capital as a commitment fee, of which we have issued 82,321 of such shares as of January 31, 2006). From May 2004 through January 31, 2006, we sold an aggregate of 716,774 shares of common stock to Fusion Capital for proceeds of $4,117,493. Therefore, 442,778 shares of common stock offered by this Prospectus remain available for sale to Fusion Capital with maximum additional proceeds of $882,507. Assuming a purchase price of $3.88 per share (the closing sale price of the common stock on January 31, 2006) and the purchase by Fusion Capital of 227,450 of the remaining 442,778 shares under the common stock purchase agreement, aggregate proceeds to us would be $5,000,000. If we decided to sell and issue more than the 1,248,115 shares to Fusion Capital (19.99% of our outstanding shares as of February 25, 2004, the date of the common stock purchase agreement), we would be required to obtain stockholder approval of the common stock purchase agreement in order to be in compliance with the American Stock Exchange rules. We may, but shall be under no obligation to, request our stockholders to approve the transaction contemplated by the common stock purchase agreement.

10

Purchase of Shares Under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement

Under the common stock purchase agreement, on each trading day Fusion Capital is obligated to purchase a specified dollar amount of our common stock. Subject to our right to suspend such purchases at any time and our right to terminate the agreement with Fusion Capital at any time, each as described below, Fusion Capital will purchase on each trading day during the term of the agreement $12,500 of our common stock. We have the right to increase the daily purchase amount at any time, provided however, we may not increase the daily purchase amount above $12,500 unless our stock price is above $4.50 per share for ten (10) consecutive trading days and provided that the closing sale price of our stock remains at least $4.50. The purchase price per share is equal to the lesser of:

·  
the lowest sale price of our common stock on the purchase date; or

·  
the average of the three (3) lowest closing sale prices of our common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive trading days prior to the date of a purchase by Fusion Capital.

We may decrease this daily purchase amount at any time. The purchase price will be adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, or other similar transaction occurring during the trading days in which the closing sales price is used to compute the purchase price. Fusion Capital may not purchase shares of our common stock under the common stock purchase agreement if Fusion Capital, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 9.9% of our common stock outstanding at the time of purchase by Fusion Capital. However, even though Fusion Capital may not receive additional shares of our common stock in the event that the 9.9% limitation is ever reached, they still are obligated to purchase up to $12,500 on each trading day, unless the common stock purchase agreement is suspended, an event of default occurs or the agreement is terminated. Under these circumstances, Fusion Capital would have the right to acquire additional shares in the future should its ownership subsequently become less than 9.9%. Fusion Capital has the right at any time to sell any shares purchased under the common stock purchase agreement which would allow it to avoid the 9.9% limitation. Therefore, we do not believe that the percentage of our outstanding common stock owned by Fusion Capital will ever reach the 9.9% limitation.

The following table sets forth the amount of proceeds we would receive from Fusion Capital from the sale of shares of our common stock offered by this Prospectus at varying purchase prices:

(3)
Closing sale price of our common stock on January 31, 2006.

We estimate that we will issue no more than 1,248,115 shares to Fusion Capital under the common stock purchase agreement, including the shares issued and issuable as a commitment fee, all of which are included in this offering. We have the right to terminate the agreement without any payment or liability to Fusion Capital at any time, including in the event that more than 1,248,115 shares are issuable to Fusion Capital under the common stock purchase agreement.

Minimum Purchase Price

We have the right to set a minimum purchase price (“floor price”) at any time. Currently, the floor price is set at $3.00 per share. We can increase or decrease the floor price at any time upon one trading day prior notice to Fusion Capital. However, the floor price may not be less than $1.00 per share. Fusion Capital does not have the right or the obligation to purchase any shares of our common stock in the event that the purchase price is less than the then applicable floor price.

 
11

Our Right to Suspend Purchases

We have the unconditional right to suspend purchases at any time for any reason effective upon one trading day’s notice. Any suspension would remain in effect until our revocation of the suspension. To the extent we need to use the cash proceeds of the sales of common stock under the common stock purchase agreement for working capital purposes or other business purposes, we do not intend to restrict purchases under the common stock purchase agreement.

Our Right to Increase and Decrease the Daily Purchase Amount

Under the common stock purchase agreement Fusion Capital has agreed to purchase on each trading day during the twenty (20) month term and six (6) month extension of the agreement, $12,500 of our common stock, or an aggregate of $5.0 million of our common stock. We have the unconditional right to decrease the daily amount to be purchased by Fusion Capital at any time for any reason effective upon one trading day’s notice. We also have the right to increase the daily purchase amount at any time for any reason as the market price of our common stock increases. Specifically, for every $0.25 increase in Threshold Price above $4.50 (subject to equitable adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction), we have the right to increase the daily purchase amount by up to an additional $2,500. For example, if the Threshold Price is $5.00 we would have the right to increase the daily purchase amount up to an aggregate of $17,500. By way of another example, if the Threshold Price is $5.50, we would have the right to increase the daily purchase amount up to an aggregate of $22,500. The “Threshold Price” is the lowest sale price of our common stock during the five (5) trading days immediately preceding our notice to Fusion Capital to increase the daily purchase amount. This notice becomes effective five (5) trading days after receipt by Fusion Capital. If at any time during any trading day the sale price of our common stock is below the Threshold Price, the applicable increase in the daily purchase amount will be void and Fusion Capital’s obligations to purchase shares of our common stock in excess of the applicable daily purchase amount will be terminated.

Our Termination Rights

We have the unconditional right at any time for any reason to give notice to Fusion Capital terminating the common stock purchase agreement. This notice shall be effective one trading day after Fusion Capital receives it.

Effect of Performance of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement on our Stockholders

All shares registered in this offering will be freely tradable. It is anticipated that shares registered in this offering will be sold over a period of up to six (6) months from the date of this Prospectus. The sale of a significant amount of shares registered in this offering at any given time could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline and to be highly volatile. Fusion Capital may ultimately purchase all of the shares of common stock issuable under the common stock purchase agreement, and it may sell some, none or all of the shares of common stock it acquires upon purchase. Therefore, the purchases under the common stock purchase agreement may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. However, we have the right at any time for any reason to: (1) reduce the daily purchase amount, (2) suspend purchases of the common stock by Fusion Capital and (3) terminate the common stock purchase agreement.

Principal Market Requirements

In order to satisfy any principal securities or market requirements, we cannot without the approval of our stockholders, issue shares of our common stock to Fusion Capital under the common stock purchase agreement in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of the date of the common stock purchase agreement.

12


No Short-Selling or Hedging by Fusion Capital

Fusion Capital has agreed that neither it nor any of its affiliates, agents or representatives will cause or engage in any direct or indirect short-selling or hedging of our common stock during any time prior to the termination of the common stock purchase agreement.

Events of Default

Fusion Capital may terminate the common stock purchase agreement without any liability or payment to us upon the occurrence of any of the following events of default:

·  
the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part lapses for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) or is unavailable to Fusion Capital for sale of our common stock offered hereby, and such lapse or unavailability continues for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days or for more than an aggregate of thirty (30) trading days in any 365-day period;

·  
suspension by our principal market, the American Stock Exchange, of our common stock from trading for a period of three (3) consecutive trading days;

·  
our common stock is delisted from the American Stock Exchange, our principal market, and is not immediately thereafter trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq Small Cap Market or the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board;

·  
the transfer agent’s failure for five (5) trading days to issue to Fusion Capital shares of our common stock which Fusion Capital is entitled to under the common stock purchase agreement;

·  
if at any time the issuance of shares of our common stock to Fusion Capital would exceed the number of shares of our common stock that we may issue without breaching the rules or regulations of our principal market;

·  
any breach of the representations or warranties or covenants contained in the common stock purchase agreement or any related agreements which has or which could have a material adverse affect on us, Fusion Capital or the value of our common shares subject to a cure period of ten (10) days;

·  
a default by us of any payment obligation in excess of $1.0 million; or

·  
our insolvency or our participation or threatened participation in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings by or against us.

Commitment Shares Issued to Fusion Capital

Under the terms of the common stock purchase agreement Fusion Capital is entitled to receive 88,563 shares of our common stock as a commitment fee. We have issued 82,321 shares to Fusion Capital and the remaining 6,242 shares will be issued on a pro rata basis during the remaining period of the common stock purchase agreement as Fusion Capital purchases shares.

No Variable Priced Financings

Until the termination of the common stock purchase agreement, we have agreed not to issue, or enter into any agreement with respect to the issuance of, any floating conversion rate or variable priced equity or floating conversion rate or variable priced equity-like securities.

Expense Reimbursement

We previously paid Fusion Capital $35,000 as the full and complete expense reimbursement of Fusion Capital’s expenses in connection with entering into the transaction. Such amount included payment of Fusion Capital’s due diligence expenses and legal fees.

13


Our Option for a Second Tranche

Under the common stock purchase agreement, twenty (20) days after the completion of the purchase of an aggregate of $5.0 million in shares of our common stock by Fusion Capital, we may, in our sole discretion, deliver an irrevocable written notice to Fusion Capital to enter into an additional common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital for the purchase of $5.0 million of additional shares of our common stock. The terms and conditions of the second common stock purchase agreement shall be in form and substance identical in all respects to the initial agreement provided that the second common stock purchase agreement will not have an option for an additional tranche.

As of the date hereof, Fusion Capital has acquired 799,095 shares of our common stock and may purchase up to an additional 442,778 shares under the common stock purchase agreement. Fusion Capital may acquire an additional 6,242 shares of our common stock as an additional commitment fee under the common stock purchase agreement as purchases are made. Percentage of outstanding shares is based on 7,669,333 shares of common stock outstanding as of January 31, 2006, including 82,321 shares of our common stock as a commitment fee, but excluding the additional 449,020 shares of common stock that may be acquired by Fusion Capital from us under the common stock purchase agreement after the date hereof. Fusion Capital may not purchase shares of our common stock under the common stock purchase agreement if Fusion Capital, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 9.9% of our common stock outstanding at the time of the purchase by Fusion Capital; provided, however, that this limitation does not affect Fusion Capital’s obligation to purchase shares in accordance with the terms of the common stock purchase agreement. Fusion Capital has the right at any time to sell any shares purchased under the common stock purchase agreement which would allow it to avoid the 9.9% limitation. Therefore, we do not believe that the percentage of our outstanding common stock owned by Fusion Capital will ever reach the 9.9% limitation.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares may be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and complied with.

Fusion Capital is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933.

Neither we nor Fusion Capital can presently estimate the amount of compensation that any agent will receive. We know of no existing arrangements between Fusion Capital, any other stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter, or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares offered by this Prospectus. At the time a particular offer of shares is made, a Prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed that will set forth the names of any agents, underwriters, or dealers and any compensation from the selling stockholder and any other required information.

We will pay all of the expenses incident to the registration, offering, and sale of the shares to the public other than commissions or discounts of underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents. We have also agreed to indemnify Fusion Capital and related persons against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Fusion Capital and its affiliates have agreed not to engage in any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of our common stock during the term of the common stock purchase agreement.

We have advised Fusion Capital that while it is engaged in a distribution of the shares included in this Prospectus it is required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the selling stockholder, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in the distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares offered by this Prospectus.

This offering will terminate on the date that all shares offered by this Prospectus have been sold by Fusion Capital.

Legal Matters

The validity of the common stock offered by this Prospectus was passed upon for us by Seyfarth Shaw LLP, Chicago, Illinois. Allan J. Reich, one of the partners of the law firm of Seyfarth Shaw LLP is the owner of 15,000 shares of our common stock. The interests in our common stock of the other attorneys at Seyfarth Shaw LLP participating in such matter are immaterial.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Pursuant to our bylaws we have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of CTT) by reason of the fact that such person is or was one of our directors, officers, employees or agents, or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful.

Our bylaws also give us the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in our right to procure a judgment in our favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was one of our directors, officers, employees or agents, or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of such person’s duty to us unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

Our bylaws also provide that to the extent that one of our directors, officers, employees or agents has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

Our bylaws further provide that our Board of Directors may by a vote of a majority of the full Board of Directors, authorize us to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was one of our directors, officers, employees or agents, or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such person against liability under the provisions of our bylaws.

Item 17. Undertakings

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any Prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of Prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

II-3

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

 
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Signatures
 
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Form S-1, and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the city of Fairfield, state of Connecticut, on this 6th day of February 2006.
