Liquidity & Capital Resources

To-date, the company has been financed with $106,900 in debt and $616,862 in convertibles.

After the conclusion of this Offering, should we hit our minimum funding target, our projected runway is 12 months before we need to raise further capital.

We plan to use the proceeds as set forth in this Form C under "Use of Funds". We don’t have any other sources of capital in the immediate future.

We will likely require additional financing in excess of the proceeds from the Offering in order to perform operations over the lifetime of the Company. We plan to raise capital in 6-8 months. Except as otherwise described in this Form C, we do not have additional sources of capital other than the proceeds from the offering. Because of the complexities and uncertainties in establishing a new business strategy, it is not possible to adequately project whether the proceeds of this offering will be sufficient to enable us to implement our strategy. This complexity and uncertainty will be increased if less than the maximum amount of securities offered in this offering is sold. The Company intends to raise additional capital in the future from investors. Although capital may be available for early-stage companies, there is no guarantee that the Company will receive any investments from investors.

Runway & Short/Mid Term Expenses

teleCalm, Inc. cash in hand is $127,950, as of December 2021. Over the last three months, revenues have averaged $48,661/month, cost of goods sold has averaged $13,621/month, and operational expenses have averaged $52,274/month, for an average burn rate of $17,234 per month. Our intent is to be profitable within 19 months.

In April 2021, teleCalm closed the Wefunder crowdfunding round and received the remaining $42,782 of investment funds (there was a rolling close in December 2021 of $82,935).

In August 2021, teleCalm received an EIDL loan modification of $28,700 for a total loan amount of $106,900. The SBA deferred the 1st payment due date to December of 2022.

In September 2021, teleCalm closed a small round through a pilot fundraising platform called Fundr for $12,412.

In December 2021, teleCalm closed a seed round for $100,000.

teleCalm continued to grow in 2021 (avg 3.6% MoM), despite challenges presented due to COVID-19, including lockdowns in senior living communities during the first half of the year, followed by hardware shortages and logistics challenges in the last half of the year. 

teleCalm continued development of teleCalm Mobile service to expand our offering from a landline-only solution, reaching the beta testing phase in late 2021.

Revenues: We anticipate slow MoM subscriber growth during the next 6 months to an estimated $50,000 MRR, with increased growth 2H2021 driven by additional landline service plus new teleCalm Mobile and Priority Response services. 

Expenses: We anticipate a reduction in expenses over the next 6 months to average around $40,000 per month.

With our forecasted growth, we anticipate (but cannot guarantee) to reach cash flow positive late 2022.

Except as otherwise described in this Form C, we do not have additional sources of capital other than the proceeds from the offering.

Risks

1

Our future success depends on the efforts of a small management team. The loss of services of the members of the management team may have an adverse effect on the company. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining other personnel we require to successfully grow our business.

2

We are a relatively new company with minimal revenues and financial history.  There can be no assurance that we will achieve the level of acceptance in the market as we project and as such our projected results could be materially different from actual results.

3

The Company is developing new technology to expand their services to include a dementia-friendly cell phone.  There can be no assurance that the new technology will be effective or that users will adopt the new technology and buy our products.
