FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K (including the Exhibits hereto) contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, such as statements relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business operations. Such statements relate to expectations concerning matters that are not historical fact. Accordingly, statements that are based on management's projections, estimates, assumptions and judgments are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," "estimate," "approximately," "intend," and other similar words and expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as "should," "would," "could," and "may." In addition, we may from time to time make such written or oral "forward-looking statements" in future filings (including exhibits thereto) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission" or "SEC"), in our reports to stockholders, and in other communications made by or with our approval. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations, assumptions, plans, estimates, judgments and projections about our business and our industry, and they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable estimates and assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will in fact occur or that our estimates or assumptions will be correct, and we caution that actual results may differ materially and adversely from those in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other factors that could cause our or our industry's actual results, level of activity, performance or achievement to differ materially from those discussed in or implied by any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us and could cause our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows to be materially adversely effected. Accordingly, investors and all others are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. In evaluating these statements, some of the factors that you should consider include those described below under Item 1A Risk Factors and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 1.
BUSINESS.
Overview
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary EnviroSystems, Inc., we produce cleaning and disinfecting products that we believe will help prevent the spread of infectious microorganisms while minimizing the harmful effects to people, equipment or the environment.
Products. We are currently marketing the following products:
SurfaceTru™ - A multi-purpose cleaner deodorizer targeted toward commercial markets which does not require gloves, protective clothing, and special ventilation or special handling requirements and is non-flammable.
SurfaceTru® Cleaning & Deodorizing Wipes – A cleansing wipe primarily sold to customers in the commercial aviation sector.
EnviroTru® and EnviroTru 1453® - Multi-purpose disinfectant, sanitizing and deodorizing cleaners, that are ready-to-use and effective against numerous organisms including E Coli and Salmonella. Our EnviroTru® products also meet EPA requirements for Toxicity Category IV and have passed AMS 1452A, AMS 1453 and Boeing D6-7127 specifications for non-corrosion and materials compatibility. The product has been registered in 49 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. We expect action on the part of the remaining state sometime in the near future.
EquineTru™ __ A skin and hoof treatment for horses used in the prevention and treatment for skin and hoof conditions caused by microorganisms.
In addition to the foregoing, we plan to develop and introduce a portfolio of products in three product groups: (1) surface disinfectants and cleaners, (2) animal care, and (3) personal care. This product portfolio will employ a proprietary and we believe unique, emulsion biocide technology. We are also developing products based on other proprietary formulations and technology platforms. In each case these products are expected to occupy a unique position in the market place in that they will combine efficacy with a favorable profile for health and environmental effects.
1
In May 2008, our wholly owned subsidiary, EnviroSystems, Inc. announced the selection of its disinfectant, EnviroTru® for use by EverySupply Company, Inc. of Mt. Vernon, N.Y. We believe that EverySupply is one of the largest maintenance supply companies in the New York City metro area, and we believe that it is currently serving over 1300 residential properties. EverySupply is focused on implementation of its Green Residential Cleaning program and is presently educating and retrofitting its customer base with new cleaning industry technologies that are safer, more efficient and environmentally preferable. EverySupply reports that their products are currently in use at The Solaire, the first green residential tower in the United States; The Helena, Tribeca Green, The Verdesian, The Vanguard Chelsea, The Epic and Millenium Tower Residences. To meet the increasing demand for those that desire to live green EverySupply believes that several more properties will soon join the growing list of residences that are dependent upon the company to help provide environmentally sensitive structures.
Among our near-term priorities, we are hoping to reintroduce a hospital grade disinfectant product to replace the product called EcoTru®. This product had historically been EnviroSystems primary product and accounted for a majority of its revenue, but was removed from the market in 2006. The reformulated EcoTru® is expected to demonstrate through testing that it will effectively kill numerous bacteria, fungi, and viruses, including Hepatitis B and C, HIV, herpes and influenza. Likewise, in addition to being highly effective as a disinfectant, our reformulated EcoTru® is expected to occupy a unique position in the market place in that it will combine this microbial effectiveness in a disinfectant product which also will have a favorable profile for health and environmental effects.
Our infection prevention products will target a United States market for infection prevention products and services estimated at $10.3 billion in 2006 and expected to grow 4.6% annually to $11.8 billion in 2009. It is further estimated that consumables/disposables constitute 91% of this market. The total global demand is believed to be approximately 3-3.5 times that of the U.S. The demand for disinfectants in the U.S. is estimated to be $2.2 billion to $2.5 billion in the same period.
Our headquarters is located at 116 Morlake Drive, Suite 201, Mooresville, North Carolina 28117. Our telephone number is (704) 658-3350. Our website address is www.envirosi.com.
Corporate History
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware in August 2004, and prior to January 10, 2006, we had no material assets and/or operations. Effective January 10, 2006, we completed a reverse merger acquisition transaction with EnviroSystems, Inc., whereby EnviroSystems became our wholly owned subsidiary. In connection therewith, we issued to the preferred stockholders of EnviroSystems 6,400,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding preferred stock of EnviroSystems. See Description of the Merger below. Effective as of January 10, 2006 our business became that of EnviroSystems. On January 12, 2007, we amended our certificate of incorporation to change our name from Telecomm Communications, Inc. to Anpath Group, Inc. to more closely align our name with our business.
Unless the context otherwise expressly requires, all references to we, us, our business, our company or Telecomm shall mean Anpath Group, Inc. and EnviroSystems, Inc.
EnviroSystems was incorporated in the State of Nevada in 1996 and historically its business has been the development, marketing and distribution of cleaning and disinfecting products intended to reduce the spread of infectious disease without adverse effects to people, equipment or the environment. EnviroSystems' products were sold into the healthcare, aviation, government and marine industry segments.
Market Opportunity
We believe that in todays environment there are heightened concerns about microbial contamination, both natural and man-made. Microbial contaminants can be the cause of minor infection, or potentially, of life threatening illness. In recent years, the public has become much more aware of this threat, and regularly seeks assurance that the chance of disease transmission is minimized. Increased awareness of the risk of potential disease transmission, by both medical and lay communities and growing pressure to reduce this risk, has resulted in a market for decontamination products that we believe may total over a billion dollars per year.
In response to increasing demand, a growing number of products designed to kill potential contaminants are becoming available. These products touch all areas of our lives, reaching from the household to the hospital. Decontaminants are commonly used by the medical, veterinary, aviation, janitorial, food service and the leisure (hotels and cruise ships) industries, as well as the military. However, we believe that the vast majority of these products represent challenges to the
2
environment as evidenced by the warnings on their labels. This conflict between efficacy and safety has resulted in a dilemma for the consumer and an opportunity for us.
We are directed by our mission to become a leader in the development and commercialization of products designed to prevent the spread of infectious microorganisms while minimizing the harmful effects to users, surfaces and the environment. We intend to utilize our technology and resources to develop products that reduce biological risks without introducing the attendant chemical risks that are so prevalent today.
We believe that the concept of an easy-to-use and effective line of decontaminants that fits with a favorable environmental profile offers us a unique opportunity to differentiate our products in multiple infection prevention markets. It is our intention to use the unique characteristics of our chemical emulsion technology to build acceptance of our decontaminants as an alternative which is significantly different from other biocidal products that currently dominate the marketplace.
We believe that infectious diseases are the leading causes of death in the world and the 3rd leading cause in the United States. We believe that nosocomial infections affect approximately 2 million people annually, cause 80,000 deaths in the US per year, and cost over $4.5 billion annually in direct costs. Approximately eighty million cases of food poisoning occur annually in the US with associated costs of $7.6$23 billion. Threats of pandemic of bioterrorist attack and health safety after hurricanes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters pose enormous infection prevention challenges coupled with growing concerns over the safety of cleaning and decontamination products currently used in public places (causes for allergic and asthmatic type reactions).
Our infection prevention products will target a United States market for infection prevention products and services estimated at $10.3 billion in 2006 and expected to grow 4.6% annually to $11.8 billion in 2009. It is further estimated that consumables/disposables constitute 91% of this market. The total global demand is believed to be approximately 3-3.5 times that of the U.S. The demand for disinfectants in the U.S. is estimated to be $2.2 billion to $2.5 billion in the same period.
With an Infection Prevention Market focus, we intend to build a platform of products focused on efficacy/safety sensitive markets and private labeling where possible. We intend do so by developing a domestic and international distribution network with an internal support infrastructure and employing our proprietary emulsion technology and securing/developing technologies/products that:
·
Offer rapid revenue generation
·
Focus on unique niche markets requiring efficacy & safety
·
Satisfy our Mission Statementproducts that provide differentiation and simultaneously represent a common thread
·
Address one or more of the emerging Global Needs:
o
Infection Prevention (natural & man-made)
o
Food Safety

Products
SurfaceTru™ - We sell a multi-purpose cleaner deodorizer, currently packaged in 5 gallon pails and targeted toward commercial markets. SurfaceTru™ does not require gloves, protective clothing, and special ventilation or special handling requirements and is non-flammable.
SurfaceTru® Cleaning & Deodorizing Wipes We sell a cleansing wipe product that is individually package at a contract manufacturer located in California. The majority of the revenue recognized from these cleansing wipes is from sales to the commercial aviation sector. We plan to develop and test a full line of wipes, including a disinfectant wipe with similar claims as those authorized for EnviroTru® once EPA registration has been granted, of which no assurance can be given.
3
EnviroTru® and EnviroTru 1453® - We sell a multi-purpose disinfectant and deodorizing cleaner under the names EnviroTru® and EnviroTru 1453® (EPA Reg No. 70791-2). Our EnviroTru® products are ready-to-use disinfectant, sanitizer, cleaners effective against numerous organisms including E Coli and Salmonella. As a sanitizer they kill greater than 99.9% of MRSA, Staph and Klebsiella. Our EnviroTru® products also meet EPA requirements for Toxicity Category IV and have passed AMS 1452A, AMS 1453 and Boeing D6-7127 specifications for non-corrosion and materials compatibility. The process of registering EnviroTru® in individual states is nearly complete; the product has been registered in 49 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. We expect action on the part of the remaining state sometime in the near future. Initial production runs and shipments were made in September 2007.
EquineTru™ __ We sell a skin and hoof treatment for horses. EquineTru™ is an antiseptic for the prevention and treatment for skin and hoof conditions caused by microorganisms. The product can be used as a leave-on spray or a hoof pack. The active ingredient in EquineTru™ is widely used in surgical hand and skin scrubs, and independent testing has demonstrated its efficacy and safety for horses, their handlers and the environment. The product is also recommended for use on small animals such as dogs and cats. EquineTru™ was cleared for market release by the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) a division of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Further, its use is permitted for Unites States Equestrian Federation and Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) regulated competitions.
An annual report by the American Horse Council in 1999 estimated the horse industry contributed more than $25 billion to the United States annual gross domestic product. In 2005 they estimated that this number had increased to $39 billion reflecting an annual growth of approximately 11%.There are approximately 9.2 million horses in the U.S. and at any given time an estimated 1 of 10 suffers from either skin or hoof fungus/bacterial infections. We believe the total estimated target market in annual unit sales to be in excess of 1.2 million units.
Potential Future Products
We plan to develop and introduce a portfolio of products in three product groups: (1) surface disinfectants and cleaners, (2) animal care, and (3) personal care. This product portfolio will employ our proprietary and we believe unique, emulsion biocide technology. We are also developing products based on other proprietary formulations and technology platforms. In each case these products are expected to occupy a unique position in the market place in that they will be designed to combine efficacy with a favorable profile for health and environmental effects.
Micro-emulsion Technology
Our products are manufactured using our micro-emulsion technology. Through the use of micro-emulsion technology, we are able to create a highly efficient delivery mechanism for parachlorometaxylenol, which is the antimicrobial ingredient used in our chemical emulsion formulations. We believe that our micro-emulsion technology allows our products to specifically target infectious microorganisms without harming higher life forms or the environment.
Parachlorometaxylenol (PCMX)
PCMX is the active antimicrobial ingredient in our EcoTru®, EnviroTru® and EquineTru® products. PCMX has been used as an effective antimicrobial disinfectant ingredient for over five decades, both in the United States and in Europe. PCMX has been demonstrated to be effective against bacteria, virus, and fungal species. In other formulations using PCMX, its biocide activity has been limited due to the inability of such formulations to deliver PCMX because a water barrier exists between PCMX and micro-organism membranes, which are both oily. Our chemical emulsion technology efficiently enables the delivery of PCMX across this barrier to the cell membranes.
In addition to its broad spectrum of activity, PCMX has a very low instance of allergic response (it has been used by the cosmetics industry for many years as a preservative) and it is rapidly degraded in the environment in both the presence and the absence of oxygen.
Micro-particle Anatomy
Observing the EcoTru® and EnviroTru® emulsions under a very high degree of magnification, one would see a suspension of micro-particles moving very rapidly in distilled de-ionized water. Many of these particles are about 1/200th the width of a human hair. The center of the particles is oily or lipophilic, as is the target microbial membrane.
Incorporated into these micro-particles is PCMX biocide. The surface of each particle has a negative surface charge that is crucial to the targeting mechanism. There is an electrostatic attraction between these particles and the microbes. The selective targeting of the microbes by these micro-particles is the basis for the efficacy of our chemical emulsion products.
4
Micro-Emulsion Mechanism
The use of PCMX in an emulsion is the basis for our products efficacy. We believe that the physical/chemical properties of the emulsion particles and the electrostatic charge on the surface allows the particles to successfully target pathogenic microorganisms and deliver the biocide directly to the microorganisms' cell membrane, thereby improving efficacy.
By delivering the PCMX directly to the cell membrane, we have been able to reduce the concentration of the biocide PCMX to 0.2% and yet achieve disinfectant efficacy not seen at 15 to 25 fold higher concentrations.
In addition, we believe by targeting the membrane, it is not necessary to use an oxidizing biocide to kill the organism. Oxidizing biocides, such as bleach and hydrogen peroxide, are effective biocides but are indiscriminate, can be corrosive and require direct access to the microorganism. Also, a difference in cell surface architecture, which is the key to cellular identity, provide the mechanism by which EcoTru® micro-particles discriminate between microorganisms and provides the foundation and focal point for the antimicrobial effect of EcoTru®.
Manufacturing
Our products are manufactured by Minntech Corporation, an EPA and FDA listed manufacturer. Effective August 2006, our wholly owned subsidiary, EnviroSystems, entered into an agreement with Minntech, pursuant to which Minntech agreed to establish a dedicated manufacturing line at its manufacturing facility for our products. The agreement with Minntech has a term of three years, commencing after the date of the first shipment of commercial quantities of our product and provides for one year renewals. Our first shipment of commercial quantities occurred in September 2007. The agreement may be terminated by either of the parties on ninety days notice.
Our agreement with Minntech also includes warehousing and distribution services and Minntech will provide dedicated warehousing facilities for our products. Additionally, we may elect to utilize other customer and technical services offered by Minntech and we have the ability to expand our relationship with Minntech to take advantage of Minntechs international manufacturing capabilities.
We believe that Minntech has the capabilities to continue to meet our volume requirements and specifications through the next several years and until we are ready to conduct our own in-house manufacturing and/or identify another contract manufacturer. All lots of product produced will be subject to quality assurance standards established by EnviroSystems and Minntech will provide a Certificate of Analysis with each lot produced, certifying inspection results and quality standards compliance. Additionally, we intend to monitor vendor testing of raw materials and review production records to ensure EnviroSystems' procedures and specifications are followed throughout production.
Future Possible Self Manufacture Capability
Upon achieving sufficient levels of sales and revenues, we may pursue the development of in-house manufacturing capabilities which we believe might reduce our cost of goods sold and improve our control over our trade secrets. We believe that such a facility would cost approximately $2 million to develop and require approximately 20,000 to 80,000 square feet. Any such facility that we developed would also include quality assurance and research and development facilities in addition to manufacturing facilities adequate to produce EcoTru® products.
Research and Development
During our most recent fiscal year, we have devoted approximately $500,106 to research and development activities, which have been focused on returning EcoTru® to the market. While the return to the market of the broad spectrum product is our clear priority, we have ongoing cooperative research programs focused on expanding our chemical emulsion product platform. We remain opportunistic regarding synergistic product line extensions.
Government Regulation
Products that make biocide claims are regulated by either the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Generally the line of demarcation is the intended use of the biocide; those used on inanimate objects are regulated by the EPA and those intended for use on living beings are regulated by the FDA.
5
Disinfectant products such as ours are classified as pesticides and are subject to regulation by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of 1996. FIFRA generally requires that before any person can sell or distribute any pesticide in the United States, they must obtain a registration from the EPA. After completing the registration process and submission of all required data, an applicant's proposed product label is stamped when accepted by EPA and returned to the registrant for use upon the registered product package. Anyone who sells/distributes a pesticide (including antimicrobial products) also must register that product in every state in which they intend to sell/distribute the product.
Facilities at which a pesticide is produced also must be listed with the EPA. Upon registration, an establishment number is assigned. Annual pesticide production reports are required to be submitted to the EPA and other books and records must be maintained indicating the amount produced, repackaged/relabeled for the past year, amount sold/distributed for the past year within and outside of the U.S., and the amount to be produced/repackaged/ relabeled for the current year. Pesticide maintenance fees are required for registered products. Failure to pay registration and annual maintenance fees or provide necessary test data when requested by the EPA could result in the cancellation of an EPA registration.
EPA regulations also require registrants to report to the EPA new information concerning adverse effects associated with their products.
We have two products registered with the United States Environmental Protection Agency, EcoTru® and EnviroTru®, assigned EPA Registration Nos. 70791-1 and 70791-2 which have EPA registered labels. EcoTru® is registered in all of the 50 States in the United States and the District of Columbia, except that California Department of Pesticide Registration (CDPR) has conditionally registered EcoTru® and EnviroSystems must provide additional test data to the CDPR. EnviroTru® is currently in the state registration process.
The FDA is an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services and is responsible for the safety regulation of most types of foods, dietary supplements, drugs, vaccines, biological medical products, blood products, medical devices, radiation-emitting devices, veterinary products, and cosmetics.
We have one current product cleared by the FDA, EquineTru® Skin & Hoof Treatment. EquineTru® was reviewed and cleared for market use by the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM); the branch of the FDA which regulates food, food additives, and drugs that are given to animals, including food animals and pets.
Like the EPA, facilities that produce drugs must be listed with the FDA and are open to inspection. FDA regulations also require producers to report information concerning adverse effects associated with their products.
Foreign Regulation
Although to date we have not had substantial international sales of our products, when we do sell products in foreign jurisdictions, we will be subject to foreign regulations. For example, before we can introduce our products into certain markets in the United Kingdom, such products must be listed on the United Kingdom's National Registry. We expect that we will have to register our products in other foreign jurisdictions before we can commence sales in such jurisdictions. Compliance with foreign requirements could require substantial expenditures and effort.
Competition
The market for products such as ours is highly competitive and we face competition from a number of companies, most of which have substantially greater brand name recognition and financial, research and development, production and other resources than we do.
Industrial, Consumer, Hospitality, Military
In the industrial and consumer markets our primary competitors include Johnson & Johnson, Ecolab, Inc., Clorox, Sensible Life Products, and Proctor & Gamble, and others all of which have products with recognized national brands that include Clorox, Lysol, Pine Sol, and industry specific products. Products used in the consumer markets and certain industrial markets like the hospitality industry generally compete based upon price. To date, relatively higher per unit costs of our product as compared to our competitors has limited our ability to compete in these markets. We believe an increased awareness of the need for safer biocides with environmentally correct profiles will aid our principal competitive advantages; comparatively favorable toxicity profile, efficacy, and environmental profile.
6
Healthcare
Our competitors in the Healthcare market include Johnson & Johnson, Clorox, STERIS Corporation, Caltech Industries, Sybron Dental Specialties, Inc., Reckitt Benkiser, Sensible Life Products, and Ecolab, Inc.
We believe that few competitive products have the same low-toxicity classifications assigned by the EPA to proprietary EcoTru® formulation, as well as the efficacy against a broad range of micro-organisms and virulent pathogens that EcoTru®'s reissued labeling is expected to reflect.
Animal Care
Our EquineTru® Skin & Hoof Treatment product competes in a market occupied by a wide range of large and small companies. Products in this market are largely sold through catalogs and by way of endorsements and word-of-mouth. To compete in this market, we must establish ourselves as a known entity and gain credibility, a process that we expect to be slow. However, we believe that because of our products toxicity profile we have the advantage of offering one product for both skin and hoof conditions. Many hoof care products are too toxic to use on the skin.
Intellectual Property
We have not applied for patent protection for our proprietary PCMX formulation or for our micro-emulsion technology and instead rely upon trade secret protection for protection of our formula, formulation, micro-emulsion technology and manufacturing process. We continue to review our intellectual property protection policy and have evaluated the use of patent versus trade secret protection for our intellectual property. While we cannot apply for patents on our formulation or micro-emulsion technology as a result of the passage of time, in the future we may seek other available patent protection. In addition, based upon our review of industry practice, we determined that it is more common to rely upon trade secret protection, rather than patents to protect intellectual property, particularly when such intellectual property involves processes such as ours. We have instituted strict internal procedures to protect the trade secrets and have confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements in place with our current contract manufacturers as well as our potential new manufacturing partner.
We will continue to evaluate our current trade secret protection and may decide in the future, if available, to submit use or design patents in certain areas that will not require us to disclose the trade secrets that give our chemical emulsion products or future potentially patentable derivative products a competitive advantage. In addition, we submitted both the early and the current versions of EcoTru® to a major U.S. de-formulation laboratory to see if they could reverse engineer our products. Despite their best efforts to reverse engineer our product, they were not able to provide us with an accurate report of the micro-emulsion ingredients or manufacturing process. As new products are brought to market, we intend to carefully analyze each for the methodology to be employed in protection of the intellectual property.
Pursuant to an Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement, effective as of July 30, 1996, between EnviroSystems, American Children's Foundation, Richard M. Othus, Andrew D.B. Lambie and Cascade Chemical Corporation, each of American Childrens Foundation, Mr. Othus, Mr. Lambie and Cascade Chemical Corporation irrevocably assigned to us all of their rights to the chemical formula which we use in the manufacture of our product. In consideration thereof, we agreed to pay to each of Messrs. Othus and Lambie a royalty equal to 0.25% of gross revenues received by us from sales of our products throughout the world, less credits and returns, for as long as we sell products which embody the assigned formula.
Our products are sold under a variety of trademarks and trade names. We own all of the trademarks and trade names we believe to be material to the operation of our business. EcoTru® is currently registered in the United States, Japan, and Taiwan. We expect to file additional registrations in the European Union countries and Canada. Likewise we have filed to register EnviroTru®, EquineTru® and SurfaceTru™ and Anpath.
Except for the trademarks referred to above, we do not believe any single trademark is material to the operations of our business as a whole.
Employees
As of March 31, 2008, we had a total of six full time employees. None of our employees are represented by a trade union. We anticipate hiring additional full time employees within the next twelve months.
7
Customers
We have traditionally sold the majority of our products to customers in the healthcare industry, including hospitals, dental offices, physicians' offices, reference laboratories, long term care facilities and veterinary offices. In addition, we also have also sold our products to the aviation industry, the U.S. Government and customers in the hospitality industry. As of March 31, 2008, both direct and through our distribution relationship with Andpak, we had one customer in the airline industry that purchased our products. Sales to our top ten customers represented approximately 99.09% of our sales for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, JetBlue accounted for 43.48% of sales of our wipes.
Sales, Marketing, Distribution
Our strategy has been to market and sell our products primarily through third party distributors and to a lesser extent through direct sales. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2008, sales through distributors accounted for approximately 79.35% of our sales. We have entered into distribution agreements with distributors that service the industry segments that we have targeted for sales of our products. In the transportation industry, we have entered into a distribution agreement with Andpak, a distributor to the aviation industry which markets our cleaning wipes, EcoTru® 1453 and will market EnviroTru™ 1453 to the same industry.
We have also entered into distribution agreements with distributors to market our products outside of the United States. To date we have had minimal international sales of our products.
Our direct sales efforts have been to healthcare facilities, institutions, commercial airlines and local governments and were intended primarily to help gain market acceptance, attract major distributors and establish EcoTru® as a brand. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2008, direct sales to customers accounted for 20.65% of our sales.
The majority of our products are shipped to customers from our contract manufacturers facility in Morgan Hill, CA. We use third party carriers to deliver our products. From time to time, we will arrange for shipments directly from our contract manufacturer.
Insurance Matters
We maintain a general business liability policy and other coverage specific to our industry and operations. We also maintain general products liability coverage and directors and officers liability coverage. We believe that our insurance program provides adequate coverage for all reasonable risks associated with operating our business.

Effective January 10, 2006, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement), dated as of November 11, 2005 between us, our wholly owned subsidiary, TSN Acquisition Corporation and EnviroSystems , TSN merged with and into EnviroSystems, with EnviroSystems as the surviving corporation (the Merger).
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we issued an aggregate of 6,400,000 shares of our restricted common stock to the holders of EnviroSystems preferred stock (including holders of options and warrants to purchase EnviroSystems preferred stock), which we refer to herein collectively as the EnviroSystems Security holders. Each outstanding share of EnviroSystems common stock was cancelled and extinguished in connection with the Merger. The shares of common stock issued in connection with the merger were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.

EnviroSystems Preferred Stock Conversion
Immediately prior to the Merger, the EnviroSystems preferred stockholders held 2,524,472 shares of EnviroSystems preferred stock and warrants and options to purchase up to an additional 838,850 shares of EnviroSystems preferred stock, for an aggregate of 3,363,322 shares of EnviroSystems preferred stock on a fully diluted basis. All of such preferred shares, including preferred shares underlying options and warrants, were exchanged for 6,400,000 shares of our common stock, which resulted in a conversion ratio of approximately 1.902880 shares of our common stock for each share of EnviroSystems preferred stock, on a fully diluted basis. Accordingly, of the 6,400,000 shares of our common stock issued in the Merger, 4,833,469 shares represented shares issued in exchange for shares of preferred stock, 583,201 shares represented shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants to purchase EnviroSystems preferred stock and 983,329 shares represented shares issuable upon the exercise of options to purchase EnviroSystems preferred stock. All 6,400,000 shares of our common stock were placed in an escrow account to be held according to the terms of the Escrow and Lock-Up Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow and Lock-Up Agreement, if any options or warrants to purchase EnviroSystems preferred stock expire unexercised, the shares of our common stock that would have been issued to such holders upon exercise will be allocated pro-rata among the remaining EnviroSystems preferred stockholders. Following the cancellation of 2,500,000 shares of our common stock issuable in connection with the Merger, and as a result of the exercise and/or expiration of options and warrants, the number of shares of common stock issued to the EnviroSystems preferred stockholders consisted of an aggregate of 3,949,830 shares of our common stock including 332,439 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants and 1,030,142 shares issuable upon the exercise of options.
Escrow and Lock-Up Agreement/Settlement Agreement
The 6,400,000 restricted shares of common stock issued to the EnviroSystems preferred stockholders were subject to an Escrow and Lock-Up Agreement. All 6,400,000 shares of common stock are to be held for the benefit of the EnviroSystems Security holders. If any options or warrants to purchase EnviroSystems preferred stock held in the escrow account expire unexercised, then the shares of our common stock that would have been issued upon such exercise will be distributed among the remaining EnviroSystems Security holders. As of October 18, 2007, warrants to purchase 93,000 shares of EnviroSystems preferred stock expired unexercised and the shares of our common stock that would have been issued upon exercise were allocated pro rata among the EnviroSystems preferred stockholders and the holders of unexpired options and warrants to purchase EnviroSystems preferred stock.
The Escrow Lock-Up Agreement provided that for a period of one year after the closing of the Merger, the shares of common stock held in escrow (the Escrow Shares) were available to satisfy indemnification obligations, if any, of the EnviroSystems Security holders under the Merger Agreement to us and to MV Nanotech Corp., which are referred to as indemnified parties under the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow and Lock-Up Agreement, in the event that an indemnified party incurs losses as a result of a breach of any covenants, agreements, representations or warranties in the Merger Agreement, then such party has the right to require the EnviroSystems Security holders to deliver out of the escrow account to such indemnified party that number of shares of common stock held in escrow equal in value to the amount of damages.
In November 2006 we elected to exercise our right to seek indemnification and sent to representatives of the EnviroSystems preferred stockholders, a Claim Notice for indemnification under the Escrow and Lock-Up Agreement seeking the return of all 6,400,000 Escrow Shares. In July 2007, we settled our claim and entered into a settlement agreement (the Settlement Agreement), dated as of July 6, 2007 between us, MV Nanotech Corp. (MV Nanotech), The Ferguson Living Trust UTD 8/13/74 (the Ferguson Trust) and Daniel Ferguson in his capacity as the shareholder agent (the Shareholder Agent), pursuant to which we resolved any and all claims that we or MV Nanotech may have had against the EnviroSystems Security holders or the Escrow Shares with respect to our Claim Notice. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Ferguson Trust authorized the escrow agent (the Escrow Agent) to return to us for cancellation 2,500,000 Escrow Shares. Upon cancellation of the 2,500,000 Escrow Shares, we issued the Ferguson Trust a warrant to purchase 2,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.70 per share. In addition, the Ferguson Trust entered into a lock-up agreement (the Lock-Up Agreement), pursuant to which the Ferguson Trust agreed not to sell or otherwise transfer any shares of our common stock, including common stock issuable upon exercise of such options or warrants owned by the Ferguson Trust for a period of 12 months from the date of the Lock-Up Agreement without our prior written consent.
Immediately following the execution and delivery of the Settlement Agreement, we and the Shareholder Agent instructed the Escrow Agent to immediately release and deliver to the EnviroSystems Security holders certificates representing the remaining Escrow Shares held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement (other than shares required to be held by the Escrow Agent for issuance upon exercise of any options or warrants to purchase EnviroSystems preferred stock which shall be otherwise
9
released to the appropriate party and at the time specified in the Merger Agreement and Escrow and Lock-Up Agreement). In connection with the settlement and the release of the Escrow Shares, holders of approximately one million Escrow Shares have entered into lock-up agreements pursuant to which they have agreed not to sell the shares of common stock for periods of either 12 to 24 months without our prior consent.
Accordingly, we released 2,062,535 shares from escrow and as of October 18, 2007, there were an aggregate of 1,827,386 Escrow Shares of common stock remaining in escrow consisting of 332,439 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants to purchase shares of EnviroSystems preferred stock and 1,030,142 shares are issuable upon the exercise of options to purchase EnviroSystems preferred stock, and 464,805 shares of common stock which will be released upon receipt of transfer documents from the persons who will be receiving such shares.
Under the Escrow Lock-Up Agreement, the EnviroSystems Security holders are entitled to vote the Escrow Shares on all matters brought to a vote of our stockholders and shall be entitled to receive dividends, if and when declared, on our common stock and have the right to demand registration of their share of common stock if, after the release of the shares of common stock, such shares are not freely tradable.
ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS.
You should carefully consider the following risk factors and the other information included herein before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all of your investment.
Risks Related To Our Business
In January 2006, we suspended sales, marketing and distribution of EcoTru® and commenced a voluntary recall of all such products produced since January 2005 which remained in customers' inventories. We cannot predict when, if ever, we will recommence sales or the harm such recall will have on our reputation and business.
In January 2006, in response to an EPA inquiry, we suspended sales, marketing and distribution of EcoTru® and commenced a voluntary recall of EcoTru® products produced since January 2005 that remained in customers' inventories. In connection with the EPAs inquiry, we paid a fine and administrative charges of $16,358. We estimate that the costs to us of the EPA action and recall were approximately $483,000, and as of March 31, 2008, we had no reserve for product returns. We are conducting formulary development work, manufacturing process and quality standards improvements and additional product testing to be submitted to the EPA for review. We cannot predict when, if ever, we will recommence sales of EcoTru® or if we will be able to sell our products with the efficacy claims listed on our labels prior to the EPA inquiry. If we are not able to sell, market or distribute EcoTru®, or related products based on our PCMX technology, or if we are not permitted to again use our prior efficacy claims, our prospects, business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Further, we cannot predict at this time the effect the recall has had, or will have, on our reputation and business.
If our formulary exploration work, manufacturing improvement efforts and additional product testing do not prove the efficacy of our products or do not result in the receipt of EPA authorization, we will not be able to sell our products under their prior label claims which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.
The results of our efforts may show that EcoTru® cannot meet the same standards as previously shown. In that event, we will have to devote significant financial and other resources to further research and development and the commercialization of our products using our technologies will be delayed or may never occur. Although our earlier tests and studies resulted in EPA approval for a variety of efficacy claims, the results from these earlier tests may not be representative of the results we obtain from any future tests, including our current tests.
Even if our current work does reconfirm the efficacy of our products, we cannot assure that the EPA will accept our results without additional testing and review. If the EPA does not accept the results, they may require that we conduct additional tests and studies and submit that data before EPA will reconsider restoration of our product claims. We may need to expend substantial resources to conduct further tests and studies to obtain data that EPA believes is sufficient. Depending on the extent of these tests and studies, this process could take a significant amount of time and/or may require us to expend more resources than we may have available. If any of these outcomes occur, we may be forced to abandon our applications for approval, which might cause us to cease operations.
10
We have to re-establish our core product in the market and rebuild our reputation and costumer confidence in us. If we are not able to do so, our business could be materially adversely affected.
As a result of the EPA inquiry and the recall, our products position in the market and our reputation has been significantly adversely effected. Even if we are successful in having EcoTru®s prior labeling claims reauthorized, we may not be able to regain customer confidence or rehabilitate our reputation. If we cannot regain our reputation and reestablish relationships with our customers, our business will be materially adversely affected.
Our products will continue to be subject to periodic random inspection and testing by the EPA and we cannot assure that such tests will not result in further EPA letters of inquiry or other actions.
Our products will continue to be subject to periodic inspection and testing by the EPA and other authorities, where applicable, and must comply at all times with the EPA and state regulations. If we fail an EPA inspection and/or test, or otherwise fail to comply with statutory and regulatory requirements we could be subject to possible legal or regulatory action, such as suspension of sales, suspension of manufacturing, and seizure of products or voluntary recall of products. Further, such a failure could result in the imposition of market restrictions through labeling changes or in product removal. If compliance with regulatory requirements is not maintained or if problems concerning safety or effectiveness of our products occur following reauthorization by the EPA our ability to market our products may be withdrawn. Further, if products selected for random testing by the EPA have not been properly stored, then the EPA tests may result in a finding that our products do not meet the efficacy standards on our labels. If EPA testing results in findings that our products do not meet EPA standards, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation and results of operation.
Historically sales of EcoTru® to the healthcare industry accounted for most of our sales. If we are not able to reintroduce our EcoTru® to the market or our product fails to gain market acceptance our business will suffer.
Historically sales EcoTru® to customers in the healthcare industry accounted for substantially all of our revenue. We cannot provide assurance that we will be successful in reintroducing EcoTru® to the market or in convincing former or new customers in the healthcare market to use our product once it returns to distribution or if we can successfully branch out into other markets. Certain competitors have products that are established in our target markets, and we may not be able to convince users of those products to switch to EcoTru® if it is reintroduced into the market. Healthcare professionals may be hesitant to utilize our product given our history with the EPA and product recall, our product pricing structure and the fact that we are a relatively small company. If we fail to reintroduce EcoTru® to the healthcare market or if after reintroduction EcoTru® fails to gain additional acceptance in the healthcare industry, our business will be significantly harmed.
We have not applied for patents on our proprietary technology and rely upon trade secret protection to protect our intellectual property; it may be difficult and costly to protect our proprietary rights and we may not be able to ensure their protection.
We have not applied for patent protection for our proprietary formulas and micro-emulsion technology and have decided instead to rely upon trade secret protection to protect such intellectual property. Trade secrets are difficult to protect and while we use reasonable efforts to protect our trade secrets, we cannot assure that our employees, consultants, contractors or scientific advisors will not, unintentionally or willfully, disclose our trade secrets to competitors or other third parties. In addition, courts outside the United States are sometimes less willing to protect trade secrets. Moreover, our competitors may independently develop equivalent knowledge, methods and know-how. If we are unable to defend our trade secrets from illegal use, or if our competitors develop equivalent knowledge, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Any infringement of our proprietary rights could result in significant litigation costs, and any failure to adequately protect our proprietary rights could result in our competitors' offering similar products, potentially resulting in loss of a competitive advantage and decreased revenue. Existing patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws afford only limited protection. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Therefore, we may not be able to protect our proprietary rights against unauthorized third party use. Enforcing a claim that a third party illegally obtained and is using our trade secrets could be expensive and time consuming, and the outcome of such a claim is unpredictable. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. This litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could materially adversely affect our future operating results.
11
Potential claims alleging infringement of third party's intellectual property by us could harm our ability to compete and result in significant expense to us and loss of significant rights.
From time to time, third parties may assert patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights to technologies that are important to our business. Any claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel, cause product shipment delays, disrupt our relationships with our customers or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, any of which could have a material adverse effect upon our operating results. Royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us. If a claim against us is successful and we cannot obtain a license to the relevant technology on acceptable terms, license a substitute technology or redesign our products to avoid infringement, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.
To date we have had significant operating losses, an accumulated deficit and have had limited revenues and do not expect to be profitable for at least the foreseeable future, and cannot predict when we might become profitable, if ever.
We have been operating at a loss each year since our inception, and we expect to continue to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $25,605,627 million. We also have had limited revenues. Revenues for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, were $115,284 and $71,958, respectively. Further, we may not be able to generate significant revenues in the future. In addition, we expect to incur substantial operating expenses in order to fund the expansion of our business. As a result, we expect to continue to experience substantial negative cash flow for at least the foreseeable future and cannot predict when, or even if, we might become profitable.
We operate in a highly regulated industry, which may delay the introduction of new products, cause withdrawal of products from the market, and have other adverse consequences.
Pursuant to applicable environmental and safety laws and regulations, we are required to obtain and maintain certain governmental permits and approvals for our products, including obtaining EPA reauthorization for our core product EcoTru®. Permits and approvals may be subject to revocation, modification or denial under certain circumstances. While we believe we are in compliance in all material respects with such environmental and safety laws, there can be no assurance that our operations or activities will not result in administrative or private actions, revocation of required permits or licenses, or fines, penalties or damages, which could have an adverse effect on us. In addition, we cannot predict the extent to which any legislation or regulation may affect the market for our products or our cost of doing business. See Business - Government Regulation.
We have relied almost entirely on external financing to fund our operations and acquisitions to date.
Because we have never generated meaningful revenue and currently operate at a loss, we are completely dependent on the continued availability of financing in order to continue our business. There can be no assurance that financing sufficient to enable us to continue our operations will be available to us. Our failure to obtain financing or to produce levels of revenue to meet our financial needs could result in our inability to continue as a going concern and, as a result, our investors could lose their entire investment.
We may need to raise capital to fund our operations, and our failure to obtain funding when needed may force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development efforts.
If in the future, if we are not capable of generating sufficient revenues from operations and our capital resources are insufficient to meet future requirements, we may have to raise funds to continue the commercialization, marketing and sale of our products. We cannot be certain that funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact our ability to conduct our business. If we are unable to raise additional capital if required or on acceptable terms, it may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of one or more of our products, restrict our operations or obtain funds by entering into agreements on unattractive terms.
12
Terms of subsequent financings may adversely impact your investment.
We may have to engage in common equity, debt, or preferred stock financing in the future which could have a negative impact on you rights and the value of your investment in our common stock. If we issued debt, interest on such debt securities could increase our costs and negatively impact our operating results. If we issue preferred stock, the terms of such preferred stock could be more advantageous to those investors than to the holders of our common stock. In addition, if we need to raise more equity capital from sale of common stock, institutional or other investors may negotiate terms at least as, and possibly more, favorable than the terms of your investment. In addition, any additional sales of our common stock will have the effect of reducing current common stockholders equity interest in us and could adversely affect market price.
Our independent registered auditors have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, each included an explanatory footnote that such financial statements were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern.
We rely upon a third party manufacturer to produce our products which makes us vulnerable to supply disruption, which could harm our business.
We rely upon a manufacturing partner to produce EcoTru®. If our supplier is unable to provide us with product in quantities we require or meeting our specifications, or if it raises its prices we would be required to seek new suppliers. In such event, we cannot assure that we will find alternative suppliers who will supply us with EcoTru® on similar economic terms, which could increase our costs of goods sold and have an adverse effect on our sales and results of operations.
In addition, if our supplier encounters problems during manufacturing as a result of, among other things, failure to follow our protocols and procedures, failure to comply with applicable regulations, or equipment malfunction, any of which could delay or impede their ability to meet our demand, it could have a material adverse effect on our business. Further, any interruption or delay in the supply of EcoTru® concentrate or EcoTru®, or our inability to obtain such goods from alternate sources at acceptable prices in a timely manner, could impair our ability to meet our customers demand and cause them to cancel orders or switch to competitive products, which would harm our business.
We rely upon a single supplier for parachlorometaxylenol (PCMX), the active ingredient in EcoTru®, EnviroTru® and EquineTru™.
We rely upon a single supplier, Clariant Corporation, to provide us with PCMX, which is the biocide used in our EcoTru® products. Clariant Corporation is one of the largest suppliers of PCMX in the United States with some smaller sources in the United States. There are also some smaller foreign sources. If Clariant Corporation is unable to supply us with PCMX in the quantities and on the economic terms that we require, it could have a material adverse effect on our business. We have no written agreement with Clariant.
We lack sales, marketing and distribution capabilities and depend on third parties to market our product.
We do not have an internal sales organization dedicated solely to sales and marketing of our product and therefore we must rely upon third party distributors to market and sell our product. These third parties may not be able to market our product successfully or may not devote the time and resources to marketing our product that we require. We also rely upon third party carriers to distribute and deliver our product. As such, our deliveries are to a certain extent out of our control. If we choose to develop our own sales, marketing or distribution capabilities, we will need to build a marketing and sales force with technical expertise and with supporting distribution capabilities, which will require a substantial amount of management and financial resources that may not be available. If we or a third party are not able to adequately sell and distribute our product, our business will be materially harmed.
We may face product liability for the products we manufacture and sell.
Manufacturing, marketing and sale of our products may subject us to product liability claims. We currently have insurance coverage against product liability risks up to an aggregate annual limit of approximately $1,000,000. However, such insurance coverage may not be adequate to satisfy any liability that may arise. Regardless of merit or eventual outcome, product liability claims may result in decreased demand for a product, injury to our reputation and loss of revenues. As a result, regardless of whether we are insured, a product liability claim or product recall may result in losses that could be material to us.
13
Substantially all of our operations are conducted at a single location. Any disruption at our facility could adversely affect our operations and increase our expenses.
Substantially all of our operations are currently conducted at a single location in Mooresville, South Carolina. We take precautions to safeguard our facility, including insurance, health and safety protocols. However, a natural disaster, such as a fire, flood or earthquake, could cause substantial delays in our operations, damage or destroy our books and records, computer systems, or inventory, and cause us to incur additional expenses. The insurance we maintain against fires, floods, earthquakes and other natural disasters may not be adequate to cover our losses in any particular case.
If we are unable to establish sufficient sales and marketing capabilities or enter into and maintain appropriate arrangements with third parties to sell, market and distribute our product, our business will be harmed.
We depend upon third parties to sell our product both in the United States and internationally. To achieve commercial success, we must develop sales and marketing capabilities and enter into and maintain successful arrangements with others to sell, market and distribute our products.
If we are unable to establish and maintain adequate sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, independently or with others, we may not be able to generate product revenue and may not become profitable. If our current or future partners do not perform adequately, or we are unable to locate or retain partners, as needed, in particular geographic areas or in particular markets, our ability to achieve our expected revenue growth rate will be harmed.
We face competition in our markets from a number of large and small companies, some of which have greater financial, research and development, production and other resources than we have.
Our products face competition from products which may be used as an alternative or substitute therefore. In addition we compete with several large companies in the disinfectant business. To the extent these companies, or new entrants into the market, offer comparable disinfectant products at lower prices, our business could be adversely affected. Our competitive position is based principally on our micro-emulsion technology, product quality and product safety. Our competitors can be expected to continue to improve the design and performance of their products and to introduce new products with competitive performance characteristics. There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient resources to maintain our current competitive position. See Business - Competition.
We may not be able to manage our growth effectively, which could adversely affect our operations and financial performance.
The ability to manage and operate our business as we execute our development and growth strategy will require effective planning. Significant growth could strain our internal resources and could adversely affect our financial performance. We expect that our efforts to grow will place a significant strain on our personnel, management systems, infrastructure and other resources. Our ability to manage future growth effectively will also require us to successfully attract, train, motivate, retain and manage new employees and continue to update and improve our operational, financial and management controls and procedures. If we do not manage our growth effectively, our operations could be adversely affected, resulting in slower growth and a failure to achieve or sustain profitability.
Our future success depends on retaining our existing key employees and hiring and assimilating new key employees. The loss of key employees or the inability to attract new key employees could limit our ability to execute our growth strategy, resulting in lost sales and a slower rate of growth.
Our success depends in part on our ability to retain key employees including our executive officers. We have only entered into an employment agreement with one of our executives. Also, we do not currently carry "key man" insurance on our executives but intend to obtain it in the near future. It would be difficult for us to replace any one of these individuals. In addition, as we grow we may need to hire additional key personnel. We may not be able to identify and attract high quality employees or successfully assimilate new employees into our existing management structure.
14
We cannot predict the impact of our proposed marketing efforts. If these efforts are unsuccessful we may not earn enough revenue to become profitable.
Our success will depend on investing in marketing resources and successfully implementing our marketing plan. Our proposed business plan includes hiring marketing personnel and a dedicated sales force and developing a comprehensive marketing plan for our product. Such a marketing plan may include attending trade shows and making private demonstrations, advertising and promotional materials, advertising campaigns in both print and broadcast media, and advertising/promotion-related operations. We cannot give any assurance that these marketing efforts will be successful. If they are not, revenues may be insufficient to cover our fixed costs and we may not become profitable.
Our business was acquired in January 2006, which means that we have a limited operating history upon which you can base your investment decision.
Prior to January 2006, we were a shell company with no operations and minimal assets. In January 2006, we acquired EnviroSystems and, as a result, our business became that of EnviroSystems. Accordingly, we have a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our prospects can be made. Our strategy is unproven and the revenue and income potential from our strategy is unproven. We may encounter risks and difficulties frequently encountered by companies that have grown rapidly through acquisition, including the risks described elsewhere in this section. Our business strategy may not be successful and we may not be able to successfully address these risks. If we are unsuccessful in the execution of our current strategic plan, we could be forced to reduce or cease our operations.
Our management has limited experience running our businesses which may hamper with our ability to make effective management decisions.
All of our operations were acquired in January 2006 and at that time we hired our executive officers and appointed new board members to run our business. Therefore, our experience in operating our current business is limited. Our senior executives have limited experience working with each other. Consequently, internal communication and business-decision making processes are evolving. We may react too slowly or incorrectly to trends that may emerge and affect our business. Our future success depends on the ability of the senior executives to establish an effective organizational structure and to make effective management decisions despite their limited experience.
We have experienced a history of losses and expect to incur future losses. Therefore, we must continue to raise money from investors to fund our operations. If we are unable to fund our operations, we will cease doing business.
We are a development stage company and have recorded very limited revenue from operations to date and we have incurred a cumulative loss of approximately $25,573,956 million through March 31, 2008. We expect to incur significant operating losses and negative cash flows over the next several quarters due to the costs of expanded research and development of our products. We will need to generate significant revenues in order to achieve and maintain profitability. We may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to fund our operations or achieve profitability in the future. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability. If we are not able to generate revenues sufficient to fund our operations through product sales or if we are not able to raise sufficient funds through investments by third parties, it could result in our inability to continue as a going concern and, as a result, our investors could lose their entire investment.
Relationship with Principal Stockholders
Four holders of our common stock beneficially own approximately 42% of our common stock (assuming exercise of warrants). As a result, such persons will have substantial influence in all matters requiring a vote of our stockholders. This concentration of ownership could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in our control or discouraging a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the market price of the common stock or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over the market price for their shares of common stock.
Our business may be affected by factors outside of our control.
Our ability to increase sales, and to profitably distribute and sell our products, is subject to a number of risks, including changes in our business relationships with our principal distributors, competitive risks such as the entrance of additional competitors into our markets, pricing and technological competition, risks associated with the development and marketing of new products in order to remain competitive and risks associated with changes in demand for disinfectants which can be affected by economic conditions, health care reform and government regulation.
15
Risks Related To Our Common Stock
The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, which could lead to losses for stockholders.
The securities of public companies can experience extreme price and volume fluctuations, which can be unrelated or out of proportion to the operating performance of such companies. We expect our common stock price will be subject to similar volatility. Any negative change in the public's perception of the prospects of our company or companies in our market could also depress our common stock price, regardless of our actual results. Factors affecting the trading price of our common stock may include:
·
regulatory actions;
·
variations in our operating results;
·
announcements of technological innovations, new products or product enhancements, strategic alliances or significant agreements by us or by our competitors;
·
recruitment or departure of key personnel;
·
litigation, legislation, regulation or technological developments that adversely affect our business;
·
changes in the estimates of our operating results or changes in recommendations by any securities analysts that elect to follow our common stock; and
·
market conditions in our industry, the industries of our customers and the economy as a whole.
If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they downgrade our stock, the price of our stock could decline.
The trading market for our common stock may be affected by research and reports that industry or financial analysts may in the future publish about us or our business, over which we will have no control. There are many large, well-established publicly traded companies active in our industry and market, which means it will unlikely that we will receive widespread, if any, analyst coverage. Furthermore, if one or more of the analysts who in the future elect to cover us, downgrade our stock, our stock price would likely decline rapidly.
We have no intention to pay dividends on our common stock.
For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance our operations and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends with respect to our common stock. As a result, investors should not expect to receive dividends on any of the shares of our common stock purchased by them, for a long period of time, if ever.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and there may be a limited trading market for our common stock.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. There is extremely limited and sporadic trading of our common stock and no assurance can be given, when, if ever, an active trading market will develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained. As a result, investors in our common stock may be unable to sell their shares.
Future sales of shares of our common stock pursuant to the exercise of options and warrants may decrease the market price of our common stock.
As of March 31, 2008, we had 14,249,889 shares of common stock outstanding, which includes 332,439 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants and 103,143 shares issuable upon the exercise of options held in escrow which are issuable to holders of warrants and options to acquire EnviroSystems preferred stock. If such options and/or warrants expire unexercised, the shares of common stock issuable to such holders will be distributed pro rata among the EnviroSystems Security holders. We also have 637,500 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants issued in our January Offering, 2,800,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants originally issued to MV Nanotech Corp., 2,500,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of a warrant issued pursuant to our Settlement Agreement and 1,500,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants issued pursuant to a financing agreement with ANPG Lending, LLC. Further, we have up to an additional 3,700,000 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2004 Equity Compensation Plan and our 2006 Incentive Stock Plan. If any of our stockholders either individually or in the aggregate cause a large number of securities to be sold in the public market, or if the market perceives that these holders intend to sell a
16
large number of securities, such sales or anticipated sales could result in a substantial reduction in the trading price of shares of our common stock and could also impede our ability to raise future capital.
The application of the penny stock rules could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and increase your transaction costs to sell those shares.
As long as the trading price of our common stock is below $5.00 per share, the open-market trading of our common stock will be subject to the penny stock rules. The penny stock rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1 million or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of securities and have received the purchasers written consent to the transaction before the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the broker-dealer must deliver, before the transaction, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information on the limited market in penny stocks. These additional burdens imposed on broker-dealers may restrict the ability or decrease the willingness of broker-dealers to sell our common stock, and may result in decreased liquidity of our common stock and increased transaction costs for sales and purchases of our common stock as compared to other securities.

PROPERTIES.
Facilities
Our principal executive offices are located at 116 Morlake Drive, Suite 201, Mooresville, North Carolina 28117. We entered into a lease for this space in June 2006. The space is approximately 2,800 square feet. The lease has a two year term commencing on August 15, 2006, and rent is $6,500 per month, with no common charges. We have the option to renew the lease for an additional two year term at a reduced rent of $5,200 per month.
In June 2006 we entered into a lease for a laboratory facility in Mentor, Ohio. The space is approximately 1,440 square feet. The lease has a one year term, commencing on August 1, 2006 and ending in June 2007 and the rent is $900 per month.
We believe that our existing facilities are not adequate for the conduct of our business as currently configured and as currently contemplated to be conducted and therefore, as soon as possible, we intend to look for additional warehouse and office.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 and subsequently, we completed the following sales of securities that were not registered pursuant to the Securities Act:
In January 2008, we completed a financing transaction with ANPG Lending, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the LLC), pursuant to the terms of a Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of January 8, 2008 (the Loan Agreement) by and between the Company and the LLC (the Financing). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, we issued to the LLC three convertible promissory notes (the Notes) in the principal amounts of $625,000, $375,000 and $500,000 respectively, for an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 and we issued the LLC three warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $0.87 per share (the Warrants). In addition to the forgoing, pursuant to the terms of a Repurchase Agreement (described below under Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities we issued to the LLC three additional Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of our common stock. The Notes are due and payable 16 months after January 8, 2008. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 7% per annum and interest accrues and is payable on the maturity date of the Notes. The Notes are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at an initial conversion price of $0.87. The conversion price is subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The Warrants have terms of 5 years and are exercisable at an initial exercise price $0.87 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The Notes and the Warrants have limitations on conversion and exercise, respectively, which restricts the LLCs right to convert the Notes or exercise the Warrants if such conversion or exercise would result in the LLCs ownership in excess of 4.9% of our outstanding common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants or conversion of the Notes are subject to demand and piggyback registration rights. The Notes and Warrants issued to the LLC were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules adopted thereunder and corresponding provisions of state securities laws,
18
which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. We made this determination based on the representations of the LLC which included, in pertinent part, that it was an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and that it was acquiring such securities for investment purposes for its own account and not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to resale or distribution, and that it understood such securities may not be sold or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom.
In July 2007, pursuant to a Settlement Agreement (the Settlement Agreement), dated as of July 6, 2007 by and among us, MV Nanotech Corp. (MV Nanotech), The Ferguson Living Trust UTD 8/13/74 (the Ferguson Trust) and Daniel Ferguson in his capacity as the shareholder agent (the Shareholder Agent), we issued the Ferguson Trust a warrant to purchase 2,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.70 per share. As partial exchange for the issuance of the warrant by the Ferguson Trust, the entered into a lock-up agreement (the Lock-Up Agreement), pursuant to which the Ferguson Trust agreed not to sell or otherwise transfer any shares of our common stock held by the Ferguson Trust, or issuable to the Ferguson Trust upon exercise of such options or warrants for a period of 12 months from the date of the Lock-Up Agreement without our prior written consent. See Business - Description of the Merger. The warrant issued to the Ferguson Trust was issued in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the rules adopted thereunder and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.
In May 2007, pursuant to a consulting agreement we entered into with Arthur Batson, as partial compensation for his services, we issued to Mr. Batson 250,000 shares of our common stock. The shares were issued to Mr. Batson in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the rules adopted thereunder and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.
On June 26, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement), dated June 26, 2008 with the OGP Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (OGP) pursuant to which the Company sold to OGP 113,636 shares (the shares) of restricted common stock of the Company at a price of $0.88 per Share. In addition, the Company issued to OGP a five year warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 113,636 shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $0.88 per share (the Warrant).
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
In connection with the above mentioned January 2008 Financing, we entered into a Securities Repurchase Agreement, dated as of January 8, 2008 (the Repurchase Agreement) between us, the LLC and the Singer Childrens Management Trust (the Trust) pursuant to which we repurchased (the Repurchase) from the Trust 250,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of the our common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share (collective, the Securities) for an aggregate purchase price of $625,000. We used $625,000 from the above mentioned Financing from the LLC to pay the purchase price for the Securities. Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, the Company issued to the LLC three additional Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of our common stock.

ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.
Overview
From our inception in August 2004, until our acquisition of EnviroSystems in a reverse merger transaction in January 2006, we had no material assets and/or business operations. As a result of the merger, EnviroSystems became our wholly owned subsidiary and our business became that of EnviroSystems. EnviroSystems was incorporated in the State of Nevada in 1996. Through EnviroSystems, we produce cleaning and disinfecting products that we believe will help prevent the spread of infectious microorganisms while minimizing the harmful effects to people, equipment or the environment.
Products.
We have available the following products:
19
·
SurfaceTru™ - We sell a multi-purpose cleaner deodorizer, currently packaged in 5 gallon pails and targeted toward commercial markets. SurfaceTru™ does not require gloves, protective clothing, special ventilation or special handling requirements and is non-flammable.
·
SurfaceTru® Cleaning & Deodorizing Wipes We sell a cleansing wipe product that is individually package at a contract manufacturer located in California. The majority of the revenue recognized from these cleansing wipes is from sales to the commercial aviation sector. We plan to develop and test a full line of wipes, including a disinfectant wipe with similar claims as those authorized for EnviroTru® once EPA registration has been granted, of which no assurance can be given.
·
EnviroTru® and EnviroTru 1453® - We sell a multi-purpose disinfectant and deodorizing cleaner under the names EnviroTru® and EnviroTru 1453® (EPA Reg No. 70791-2). Our EnviroTru® products are ready-to-use disinfectant, sanitizer, cleaners effective against numerous organisms including E Coli and Salmonella. As a sanitizer they kill greater than 99.9% of MRSA, Staph and Klebsiella. Our EnviroTru® products also meet EPA requirements for Toxicity Category IV and have passed AMS 1452A, AMS 1453 and Boeing D6-7127 specifications for non-corrosion and materials compatibility. The process of registering EnviroTru® in individual states is nearly complete; the product has been registered in 49 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. We expect action on the part of the remaining state sometime in the near future. Initial production runs and shipments were made in September 2007.
·
EquineTru™ __ We sell a skin and hoof treatment for horses. EquineTru™ is an antiseptic for the prevention and treatment for skin and hoof conditions caused by microorganisms. The product can be used as a leave-on spray or a hoof pack. The active ingredient in EquineTru™ is widely used in surgical hand and skin scrubs, and independent testing has demonstrated its efficacy and safety for horses, their handlers and the environment. The product is also recommended for use on small animals such as dogs and cats. EquineTru™ was cleared for market release by the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) a division of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Further, its use is permitted for Unites States Equestrian Federation and Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) regulated competitions.
In addition to the foregoing, we plan to develop and introduce a portfolio of products in three product groups: (1) surface disinfectants and cleaners, (2) animal care, and (3) personal care. This product portfolio will employ a proprietary and we believe unique, emulsion biocide technology. We are also developing products based on other proprietary formulations and technology platforms. In each case these products are expected to occupy a unique position in the market place in that they will combine efficacy with a favorable profile for health and environmental effects.
Among our near-term priorities, we are hoping to reintroduce a hospital grade disinfectant product to replace the product called EcoTru®. This product had historically been EnviroSystems primary product and accounted for a majority of its revenue, but was removed from the market in 2006. The reformulated EcoTru® is expected to demonstrate through testing that it will effectively kill numerous bacteria, fungi, and viruses, including Hepatitis B and C, HIV, herpes and influenza. Likewise, in addition to being highly effective as a disinfectant, our reformulated EcoTru® is expected to occupy a unique position in the market place in that it will combine this microbial effectiveness in a disinfectant product which also will have a favorable profile for health and environmental effects.
Results of Operations
Year Ended March 31, 2007 compared to Year Ended March 31, 2008
Revenues. Our revenues for the year ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $115,284 and $71,958, respectively. This is an increase of $43,326. This increase is directly attributive to the EPA action and the Company's voluntary recall and suspension of sales of EcoTru® during the last quarter of our last fiscal year and all of this fiscal year.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the year ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $139,537 and $116,009, respectively, an increase of $23,528. The increase in cost of sales includes a charge to Cost of Sales of $15,840 for inventory that the useful life had expired.
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the year ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $4,543,564 and $2,598,122, respectively, an increase of $1,945,442 or 75%. The increase was attributed to an increase in product development expenses of $68,203, an increase in corporate expenses of 2,153,979 and a decrease in finance and administrative expenses of $277,772.
20
During the year ended March 31, 2008, the Companys expenditures on its marketing and sales efforts remained consistent with the prior year. For the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 the costs and expenses in this area was $309,257 and $308,225.
Product development costs increased to $500,106 for the year ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $431,903 for the year ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $68,203. This increase was primarily the result of increased contract testing of our products and development of potential products.
Corporate cost increased to $3,290,960 for the year ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $1,136,981 for the year ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $2,135,979. The increase is attributed to the intrinsic cost of issuing Stock options, stock warrants, and a repricing of existing warrants which is calculated using the Black-Scholes Option pricing model. Expenses related to the Black-Scholes valuation method in the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $1,840,107 and $211,489. The increase also includes the cost of services paid for through the issuance of common stock for the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 in the amount of $877,450 and $ -0-.
Finance and administrative cost decreased to $443,241 for the year ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $721,013 for the year ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $277,772. The decrease is attributed to decreases in our securities counsel expenses related to the filing of a registration statement and amendments thereto and in the Black-Scholes compensation expense valuation of options.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the year ended March 31, 2008, we used $1,968,057 in operating activities, compared with $2,529,161 used in operating activities for the year ended March 31, 2007, a decrease in expenses used in operating of $561,104.
We had net cash provided by financing activities of $1,125,000 for the year ended March 31, 2008 compared with $628,608 provided by financing activities for the year ended March 31, 2007. Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended March 31, 2008, includes $1,500,000 in proceeds from new notes payable, $250,000 in proceeds from the exercise of warrants and a reduction of $625,000 from the repurchase of our common stock.
We had net cash used in investing activities of $21,811. This amount was used in the purchase of manufacturing and research equipment.
At March 31, 2008 and 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents available in the amounts of $351,627 and $1,216,495, a decrease of $864,868.
Contractual Obligations
We have entered into two lease agreements for office and laboratory facilities. The first agreement for laboratory facility requires us to pay $10,800 for the year July 31, 2006 to July 31, 2007. The laboratory is located in Mentor, OH. The office lease requires us to pay $156,000 over a two year period beginning in August 2006. We have two one year options to extend this lease at a rate of $62,400 per year. The office is located in Mooresville, NC.
Effective August 1, 2006, EnviroSystems, Inc., the wholly owned subsidiary of Anpath Group, Inc. entered into a manufacturing agreement with Minntech Corporation, a Minnesota corporation pursuant to which Minntech has agreed to be the exclusive U.S. manufacturer of EnviroSystems' disinfectant product.
The Manufacturing Agreement provides the terms and conditions pursuant to which Minntech will manufacture and supply to ESI all of ESI's requirements for the Product. Manufacturing of the Product commenced in September 2007. The Manufacturing Agreement has a term of three years commencing after the first shipment of commercial quantities of the Product by Minntech to ESI, provides for automatic one year renewals if not terminated by one of the parties. The Manufacturing Agreement may be terminated by either party upon 90 days prior written notice.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements. These statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates in preparation of financial statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, based on historical experience, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The following critical accounting policies rely upon assumptions, judgments and estimates and were used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
Trade Secret
The trade secret of the formula/formulation of EnviroSystems' product, at the time acquired by us was based upon the valuation of an independent appraiser.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
We assess potential impairment of our long lived assets, which include our property and equipment and our identifiable intangibles such as our trade secrets under the guidance of Statement of Financial Standards No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets. Once annually, or as events and circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired, we assess potential impairment of our long lived assets. We determine impairment by measuring the undisclosed future cash flows generated by the assets, comparing the results to the assets' carrying value and adjusting the assets to the lower of the carrying value to fair value and charging currant operations for any measured impairment.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is generally recognized and earned when all of the following criteria are satisfied: a) persuasive evidence of sales arrangements exists; b) delivery has occurred; c) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and d) collectibility is reasonably assured.
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via a purchase order from our customers. Delivery occurs when title and all risks of ownership are transferred to the purchaser which generally occurs when the products are shipped to the customer. No right of return exists on sales of product except for defective or damaged products. The sales price to the customer is fixed upon acceptance of purchase order. To assure that collectibility is reasonably assured we perform ongoing credit evaluations of all of our customers.
Contingent Liability
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 14, we may have certain contingent liabilities with respect to material existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings. We accrue liabilities when it is probable that future cost will be incurred and such cost can be measured.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
In connection with the preparation of this annual report on Form 10-K, Anpaths management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
During the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2008, management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, which management considers an integral component of disclosure controls and procedures. The material weakness identified relates to a lack of appropriate accounting policies and related procedures. As a result of the material weakness identified, management concluded that Anpaths disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.
Notwithstanding the existence of this material weakness, Anpath believes that the consolidated financial statements in this annual report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, Anpaths financial condition as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
MANAGEMENTS REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management of Anpath is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Anpaths internal control over financial reporting is a process, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Companys financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
·
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Companys assets;
·
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of Directors; and
·
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Anpaths management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). As a result of this assessment, management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.
23
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The material weakness identified is disclosed below:
Lack of Appropriate Accounting Policies and Related Procedures. Management has not established with appropriate rigor accounting policies or procedures for evaluating complex transactions and determining appropriate application of accounting principles, including accounting policies related to complex financing transactions such as convertible debt. As a result, the auditors identified a material misstatement in the financial statements related to a complex financing transaction executed by the Company during the fiscal year.
As a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, Anpath management has concluded that, as of March 31, 2008, Anpaths internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. We were not required to have, nor have we, engaged our independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only managements report in this annual report.
The Company is currently evaluating steps that it can take in 2008 to remedy the material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting, including steps that can be taken in the process of documenting and evaluating the applicable accounting treatment for non-routine or complex transactions as they may arise.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
As of the end of the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2008, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Anpath internal control over financial reporting.

As partial exchange for the issuance of the warrant by the Company to the Trust, the Trust entered into a lock-up agreement (the Lock-Up Agreement), pursuant to which the Trust agreed not to sell, make any short sale of, pledge as security for a loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise transfer, assign, dispose, either directly or indirectly in any manner, any shares of our common stock and options and warrants to purchase such common stock and shares of such common stock issuable upon exercise of such options or warrants owned by the Trust and distributable to the Trust pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement and any shares of common stock (or other securities) received by the Trust pursuant to the exercise of the warrant for a period of 12 months from the date of the Lock-Up Agreement without our prior written consent. At the time of the foregoing transactions, the Trust and MV Nanotech were each beneficial owners of 5% or more of our common stock.
As reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 14, 2008, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of January 8, 2008 (the Loan Agreement) with ANPG Lending, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the LLC). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, we issued to the LLC three convertible promissory notes (the Notes) in the principal amounts of $625,000, $375,000 and $500,000 respectively, for an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000. The Loan Agreement also provides that the LLC may make up to an additional $500,000 in advances to us in the discretion of the LLC. In addition to the Notes, we issued to the LLC three warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $0.87 per share (the Warrants). As a condition to the Loan Agreement, we entered into a Securities Repurchase Agreement, dated as of January 8, 2008 (the Repurchase Agreement) with the LLC and the Singer Childrens Management Trust (the Trust) pursuant to which we repurchased (the Repurchase) from the Trust 250,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of our common stock (collective, the Securities) for an aggregate purchase price of $625,000. We used $625,000 from the LLC to pay the purchase price for the Securities. Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, the Company issued to the LLC three additional Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of our common stock. At the time of the foregoing transactions, the Trust was a beneficial owner of 5% or more of our common stock.
On January 22, 2008, the Board of directors approved a payment to Mastodon Ventures, Inc for consultation and advice on fundraising efforts in the amount of $70,000. Our CFO is a 5% owner of Mastodon and devotes a portion of his efforts as Mastodons CFO.

Anpath Group, Inc
Moorseville, North Carolina
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Anpath Group, Inc. as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Anpath Group, Inc as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations, stockholders equity and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses and has an accumulated deficit at March 31, 2008. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Companys financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Companys management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Accounting Method
The Companys financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within thirty days from the invoice date or as specified by the invoice and are stated at the amount billed to the customer. Customer account balances with invoices dated over ninety days or ninety days past the due date are considered delinquent.
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management's best estimate of the amount that will not be collected. Management reviews all accounts receivable balances that are considered delinquent and, based on an assessment of current credit worthiness, estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected. In addition, management periodically evaluates the adequacy of the allowance based on the Company's past experience. Allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $889 and $914 at March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Advertising
The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
Loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares was calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting them by the amount of time that they were outstanding. At March 31, 2008 and 2007, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same, as for the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, potentially dilutive securities have not been included in the diluted loss per common share calculation as they would have been anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had stock equivalents of 9,333,815 and 5,935,615 outstanding.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Compensated Absences
Employees earn personal leave time based on hours worked and longevity. These benefits are vested when earned but cannot be carried over from calendar year to calendar year. Benefits are accrued as they are earned and are reflected in the financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 AND 2007
Contingent Liability
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 14, the Company may have certain contingent liabilities with respect to material existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings. The Company accrues liabilities when it is probable that future cost will be incurred and such cost can be measured.
Derivative Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB No. 133, SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, and SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which is effective for the Company as of its inception. These statements establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. They require that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change. The Company has not entered into derivatives contracts to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes as of March 31, 2008 and 2007.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," may include cash, receivables, and advances, accounts payable and accrued expenses. All such instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at March 31, 2008 and 2007.
Fixed Assets
Equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the respective assets, typically 3-7 years. Major additions and betterments are capitalized. Upon retirement or disposal, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operations.

Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.
As shown in the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss for the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, and has an accumulated deficit since the inception of the Company. These factors indicate that the Company may be unable to continue in existence. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue existence. The Company anticipates its projected business plan will require a minimum of approximately $2,100,000 to continue operations in the next twelve months.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
The Company assesses potential impairment of its long lived assets, which include its property and equipment and its identifiable intangibles such as its trade secrets under the guidance of Statement of Financial Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets. On an annual basis, or as events and circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired, the Company assesses potential impairment of its long lived assets. The Company determines impairment by measuring the undisclosed future cash flows generated by the assets, comparing the results to the assets carrying value and adjusting the assets to the lower of the carrying value to fair value and charging current operations for any measured impairment. The Company determined that the Trade Secrets was impaired by $374,000 during the year ended March 31, 2008 and has taken a charge for this amount. As of March 31, 2007 no impairment of this trade secret was deemed necessary.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (first-in, first out basis) and include purchased raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods.
Concentration Risk
Sales to our top ten customers represented approximately 98.45% and 99.98% of our sales for the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. During the year ended March 31, 2008 52% of our sales came from the EnviroTru products while 47% came from cleaning wipes. All of our sales in the year ended March 31, 2007 consisted of our cleaning wipes. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, one customer located in the United States accounted for 92.79% and 80.35% of sales of our wipes.
Suppliers
We rely upon a single supplier to provide us with PCMX, which is the biocide used in our chemical emulsion disinfectant products. Although there are other suppliers of this material, a change in suppliers would cause a delay in the production process, which could ultimately affect operating results.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. References herein to the Company include the Company and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.
Provision for Taxes
F-9
ANPATH GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 AND 2007
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS No. 109). Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against the deferred tax asset if management does not believe the Company has met the more likely than not standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of such an asset.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS 159
In February, 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (hereinafter SFAS No. 159). This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Boards long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, although earlier adoption is permitted. Management has not determined the effect that adopting this statement would have on the Companys financial condition or results of operation.
SFAS 160
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160 ("SFAS 160"), Noncontrolling interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.
SFAS No. 141(R)
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R ("SFAS 141R"), Business Combinations, which establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, goodwill acquired in the business combination, or a gain from a bargain purchase. SFAS 141R is effective for financial statements issued for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008
SFAS No 161
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (SFAS 161), Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, which requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities and improves the transparency of financial reporting. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. . Management has not determined the effect that adopting this statement would have on the Companys financial condition or results of operation.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts have been reclassified from the prior financial statements for comparative purposes.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is generally recognized and earned when all of the following criteria are satisfied: a) persuasive evidence of sales arrangements exists; b) delivery has occurred; c) the sales price is fixed or determinable; and d) collectibility is reasonably assured.
F-10
ANPATH GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 AND 2007
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via a purchase order from our customers. Delivery occurs when title and all risks of ownership are transferred to the purchaser which generally occurs when the products are shipped to the customer. No right of return exists on sales of product except for defective or damaged products. The sales price to the customer is fixed upon acceptance of purchase order. To assure that collectability is reasonably assured, credit evaluations are performed on all customers.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company measures compensation cost for its stock based compensation plans under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Accounting for Stock Based Compensations. This statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance. This statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entitys equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) , "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", requires companies to include expenses in net income (loss) and earnings (loss) for each issuance of options and warrants. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value its issuance of options and warrants. The Company recorded compensation expense of $1,695,213 and $533,125 for years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Trade Secret
The recorded value of the Companys trade secret relating to the formula/formulation of ESIs products at the time acquired by the Company was based upon the valuation of an independent appraiser. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company has determined that its trade secret has an indefinite life. Accordingly, it is not subject to amortization, but is subject to the Companys annual assessment of prospective impairment. The Company determined that the Trade Secrets was impaired by $374,000 during the year ended March 31, 2008 and has taken a charge for this amount. As of March 31, 2007 no impairment of this trade secret was deemed necessary.
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
NOTE 3 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Companys financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with what management believes to be high credit quality financial institutions. At times such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company maintains cash balances at several financial institutions. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. At March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Companys uninsured cash balances total was $246,142 and $1,112,348, respectively.

On January 8, 2008, the Company completed a financing transaction with ANPG Lending, LLC, (the LLC) pursuant to the terms of a Loan and Security Agreement by and between the Company and the LLC. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company issued to the LLC convertible promissory notes for an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000. The Loan Agreement also provides that the LLC may make up to an additional $500,000 in advances to the Company in the discretion of the LLC. In addition to the Notes, the Company issued to the LLC warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of the Companys common stock. The Warrants have terms of 5 years and are exercisable at an initial exercise price $0.87 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.
Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company granted to the LLC a security interest in the Companys assets and properties to secure the Companys obligations under the Notes to the LLC.
As a condition to obtaining the Financing, the Company entered into a Securities Repurchase Agreement by and between the Company, the LLC and the Singer Childrens Management Trust (the Trust) pursuant to which the Company repurchased from the Trust 250,000 shares of the Companys common stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $625,000. The Company used $625,000 from the LLC to pay the purchase price for the Securities and used $30,000 to pay the lenders legal expenses of the transaction. Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, the Company issued to the LLC three additional Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of our common stock. The Warrants have terms of 5 years and are exercisable at an initial exercise price $0.87 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The warrants can be exercised using a cashless exercise exchange and will automatically be exercised at the termination of the term if the price of the Companys common stock on such date is above $0.87 per share, subject to certain adjustments.
As a result of the foregoing transactions, the Company was able to obtain net proceeds of approximately $845,000 to be used for general working capital purposes.
The Notes are due and payable 18 months after January 8, 2008. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 7% per annum and interest accrues and is payable on the maturity date of the Notes. The Notes are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at an initial conversion price of $0.87. The conversion price is subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.
In accordance with EITF 00-27, the Company recognized the beneficial conversion feature associated with the notes convertibility into shares and warrants. The total value of warrants was determined using the Black Scholes Option Price Calculation. In employing this model, the following assumptions were used the actual three month T-Bill rate on the advance dates for the risk-free rate; the actual share price on advance dates; expected volatility of 63%, no dividends and a five year horizon in all Black Scholes Option Price calculations. The total value of warrants was $778,500 and the total value of shares was $721,500.
Following the guidance provided by EITF 00-27 the Company allocated proceeds first to the warrants issuable upon conversion of the note. The value of the warrants was recorded on the balance sheet as debt discounts and increases to shareholders equity. The debt discounts are being amortized over the remaining life of the convertible note. The value of warrants in excess of the actual debt advance amounts were expensed as financing fees.

Outstanding options and warrants to purchase EnviroSystems preferred stock were converted to options to purchase the Company's common stock at the merger date. In the merger, outstanding options to purchase common stock of EnviroSystems were converted into 982,362 common stock options of the Company. These options range in price from $3.40 to $5.00 per option and start to expire in approximately 4 years to 8 years.
Also in the merger, outstanding warrants to purchase preferred stock of EnviroSystems were converted into 613,869 common stock warrants of the Company. These warrants are priced at $5.00 per warrant and expire in approximately 3 months to 4 years.
In November 2006 the Company elected to exercise its right to seek indemnification and made a claim seeking the return of all 6,400,000 shares held in escrow. Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow and Lock-Up Agreement, if the Company determined that it had a claim for damages under the Merger Agreement, the Company had up to one year from the closing of the Merger to submit a claim seeking the return of shares held in escrow. On July 6, 2007, the Company agreed to settle its claims for indemnification against EnviroSystems shareholders and the 6,400,000 shares held in escrow by cancelling 2,500,000 shares of common stock that is being held in escrow.

Private Placement
On January 10, 2006, the Company also issued 4,250,000 shares of common stock in a private placement offering in exchange for $8,500,000 in gross proceeds on January 10, 2006. The Company received $6,951,084 after paying $1,548,916 in expenses associated with the private placement including legal, escrow and selling agents fees. The merger agreement called for minimum gross proceeds from the private placement of $8,500,000 and net offering proceeds of $7,200,000. The Company's net offering proceeds were $248,916 lower than the agreed upon amount due to increased expenses of the offering including legal and other expenses of the private placement. This is a violation of the merger agreement. The parties to the Merger agreed and determined that the shortfall had no effect on the Merger because there was no penalty specified in the Merger Agreement and all parties were aware of the violation prior to closing.
Warrant Exercise
On October 17, 2007, the Board of Directors agreed to re-price 800,000 warrants held by MV Nanotech Corporation. The original warrants had an exercise price of $2.50 per warrant.

The Company received proceeds from the exercise of the warrants in the amount of $250,000. Due to the re-pricing, the Company recorded $701,192 in expense, calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing method.
Refinancing
