CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains or incorporates by reference certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the 1933 Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and, as such, may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Forward-looking statements are those that predict or describe future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. You can generally identify forward-looking statements as statements containing the words "will," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "assume" or other similar expressions. You should not rely on our forward-looking statements because the matters they describe are subject to assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond our control. Therefore, our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, some of which are listed under the section "Risk Factors," Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, "company," "we," "us," "our" and "TOMI" refer to TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc.
Item 1. BUSINESS
Overview
TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. is positioned as a global bacteria, viral, mold decontamination and infectious disease control company, providing green energy-efficient environmental solutions for indoor surface and air decontamination through sales, service and licensing of our platform of SteraMist hydrogen peroxide aerosols, Ultra-Violet Ozone Generators and Ultra-Violet Germicidal Irradiation ("UVGI") products and technologies.
Our effort to offer products and services which combat bacterial and viral outbreaks in hospitals was in 2011 enhanced by the addition of a newly developed line of fixed and portable units owned and manufactured by L-3 Communications ("L-3"). This technology is BIT (Binary Ionization Technology) and is sold under the brand name of SteraMist. SteraMist utilizes a patented hydrogen peroxide misting technique (BIT Technology) and was designed by L-3 as a cost-effective method to control the spread of infectious diseases including neutralizing bio-terrorism pathogens such as Anthrax.
We believe that reducing Healthcare Associated Infections ("HAIs"), which are the fourth leading cause of death in the United States and cost the healthcare system approximately $40 billion annually, provide significant opportunities for our products. Ten percent of inpatients contract infections from hospitals, resulting in more than 2,000,000 illnesses and over 100,000 deaths per annum. According to published studies, generic hospital cleaning procedures leave between 30%-60% of microorganisms depending upon the process. TOMI's products safely and effectively kill 99.9999% of all known pathogens as a part of its service to healthcare facilities such as hospitals for the decontamination of bacteria and other pathogens within these facilities. In comparison to most of its competitors, the SteraMist product has a higher kill level, leaves no residue, is not affected by humidity, has a shorter treatment time and converts to oxygen and water.
Other vertical industry applications for SteraMist in no particular order are: the Professional Remediation Industry, First responders, Food safety industry, Athletics, Hospitality Industry, Transportation, Education, Entertainment, Homeland Defense, and various branches of the Military.
Our SteraMist and other products are currently being used in a broad spectrum of commercial structures including medical facilities, office buildings, hotels, schools, pharmaceutical companies, clean rooms, remediation companies, military barracks, and athletic facilities. The products and services that we offer have are also being used in single-family homes and multi-unit residences.
We intend to generate and support research on other surface and air remediation solutions including hydroxyl radicals and other Reactive Oxygen Species ("ROS") and to form business alliances with major remediation companies, construction companies and corporations specializing in disaster relief in North America, South America, Central America, Europe, the Middle East and the Far East to assist in expanding our sales.
The Company began sales to international locations during the third quarter of 2010. In February 2012, the Company entered into a Sales and Distribution Agreement covering Latin America and the Caribbean and subsequently sold its first SteraMist unit in Latin America in March 2012 with repeated orders in the third quarter of 2012.

In April 2012, we completed our first sale in Panama arising from this new agreement. We also made continued aerosol solution sales under our ongoing program with Sinai Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, Northwest Hospital in Randallstown, Maryland. SteraMist is also being used by Baptist Hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas, and Geisenger Medical Center in Danville, Pennsylvania. Our decontamination system is currently being tested in two other major U.S. hospitals.
The Company recently completed an official pilot study at the request of Panama Social Security Program (CSS), successfully remediating biological/bacterial colonies. As a result, the Company was engaged to expand this program in multiple Panamanian hospitals.
We continue to pursue complementary business opportunities in manufacturing Reactive Oxygen Species related products, testing labs and other indoor air treatment and maintenance products.
When we complete the sale of equipment to customers, our services usually include providing initial and ongoing training to customer employees.
In 2011, we made our first sale of a SteraMist hydrogen peroxide aerosol unit to a major metropolitan hospital that is now expanding its program to use this equipment for additional rooms and facilities.
Competition
The decontamination and infectious disease control industry is extremely competitive. The Company's major competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger installed customer bases and substantially greater financial and marketing resources than the Company. See the "Risk Factors" section herein.
Employees
As of the date of this Memorandum we have two employees, one of whom, our Chief Executive Officer, is full-time and a full-time Administrative Assistant. The company has nine other administrative and support staff that are categorized as "work for stock". Our sales efforts are primarily made through outside sales groups and direct sales to remediation companies whose businesses are primarily focused on the recovery from natural disasters.
Company Information
We were incorporated in Florida on September 18, 1979 and commenced our current principal operations on February 8, 2008. Our principal worldwide executive office is located at 9454 Wilshire Blvd. R-1, Beverly Hills, California 90212.
Information on our Company Website
We make our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, available, free of charge, on our website as soon as reasonably practicable after we file or furnish these reports with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. In addition, we post the following information on our website (the Company does not intend to, and does not hereby, incorporate by reference the information on our website, http://www.tomiesinc.com, as a part of this Memorandum):
- our corporate code of conduct, which qualifies as a "code of ethics" as defined by Item 406 of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act; and
- charters for our Audit Committee and Compensation Committee.
All of the above information is also available in print upon request to our secretary at the address listed under the heading "Company Information" above.

The Company primarily offers its products in the following three market segments:
Hospital. This should be the easiest to penetrate as we have a solution to healthcare facilities' biggest problem: the spread of airborne contaminants. Hospitals are being penalized with a reduction in reimbursement due to new Medicare laws, Senate Bill 1058-MRSA became effective January 1, 2009. The enactment of this bill demonstrates the concern hospitals have for the spreading of MRSA and that the hospital industry will be held responsible for any hospital-acquired infection prior to 2009. Using our SteraMist BIT technology will eliminate HAIs in patient rooms, infectious disease rooms and operatory suites and the return on investment to the hospital is 20-1 in the first year according to all studies. Our UVGI/filtration product enables us to reduce expenses for coil cleaning, which can range from $500 - $15,000, saving 25 - 30% of energy costs and reduce unit down time. Therefore, we will be able to enhance the well being of staff and patients by delivering clean, particulate-free air. We can reduce filtration cost by as much as 50% and will be able to offer a product that will decontaminate rooms identified with disease-causing elements.
The Remediation Industry. A professional certified remediation company waits until an emergency or disaster occurs before they can earn fees. TOMI has implemented and plans to expand its certification, license and equipment program throughout the United States. This program will allow these disaster professionals to earn fees doing routine air remediation and infectious disease control without the need of a disaster. It will also arm the professional with state of the art technology to be used in their everyday challengers' in treating indoor environments. TOMI will receive a percentage of all revenue from jobs completed using TOMI's equipment under TOMI's exclusive certification and licensing agreement. There are over 20,000 certified professional remediators in the United States.
Hospital.Our products will primarily be used for air remediation and surface cleaning to make the hospitality-related companies (hotels, motels, etc.) greener and cleaner prior to the check-in of hotel guests. Also, as additional revenue, we will be able to apply the UVGI & filtration system to these hotels to maintain cleaner healthier air and save in energy costs.
Competitors and Future Competition
The decontamination and environmental infectious disease control industry is extremely competitive. The Company's principal competitors for its BIT technology is BioQuell; for its UV Ozone generators are Air-Zone and Crystal Air; for its UVGI products are Honeywell, Sannavox and Steril-Air. From a service end the competition are other remediators and abatement companies. These competitors may have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger installed customer bases, and substantially greater financial and marketing resources than the Company. The Company believes that the principal factors affecting competition in this proposed market include name recognition, and the ability to receive referrals based on client confidence in the Company's service. There are no significant barriers of entry that could keep potential competitors from opening similar facilities. The Company's ability to compete successfully in the industry will depend, in large part, upon its ability to market and sell its indoor decontamination and infectious disease control products and services and be able to respond effectively to changing insurance industry standards and methodology. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully in the remediation industry, or that future competition will not have a material adverse effect on the business, operating results, and financial condition of the Company.
We believe that as our products and services become more widely known and the cost benefits are better understood, our competitors and potential competitors will have an increased interest in performing these services and developing new products that will compete with SteraMist and the Company's other products. We also believe that when the Patents expire some, competitors will attempt to use this technology to produce a similar or identical product.
Our History
The Company was incorporated in Florida in 1979 as Dauphin, Inc. In March 1981, the Company completed an initial public offering and continued in business into 1982, at which time it ceased operations. In July 1994 the Company completed a reverse acquisition with RPS Enterprises, Inc. ("RPS") pursuant to which RPS became a wholly-owned subsidiary, conducting a New York-based limousine company. RPS ceased operations in early 1996. In August 2002, certain investors purchased the majority of prior management's stock and, in 2002, sold back the operating subsidiary to prior management. In October 2007, RPS and its controlling shareholders entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Reorganization whereby RPS acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of The Ozone Man, Inc., a Nevada Corporation ("Ozone Nevada") in exchange for the issuance of 34,250,000 shares of RPS common stock and $50,000 cash consideration. Although RPS was the legal acquirer, for accounting purposes Ozone Nevada was the surviving entity and, accordingly, the transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition that was in substance a recapitalization of Ozone Nevada.

We commenced our current operations in the fourth quarter of 2007 and, since 2008, we have proceeded to implement our business plan by acquiring for cash both the intellectual property and methodology that at that time was the core of our ozone treatment systems. After forming an alliance in 2009 with Rolyn Companies ("Rolyn"), a 30-year-old plus Washington, D.C.-based private professional remediation company, TOMI transferred its service division to Rolyn. TOMI continues to focus on obtaining high-tech decontamination technology and the writing of building health and infectious disease protocols.
During the second quarter of 2009, the Company exited the status of development stage enterprise and commenced its planned principal operations since the Company earned revenues during the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
During August 2010, TOMI entered into negotiations with BIT Technology a division of L-3, and we began to develop applications for and distribution of the SteraMist equipment that currently accounts for nearly all of our revenue.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS.
Our business routinely encounters and attempts to address risks, some of which will cause our future results to differ, sometimes materially, from those originally anticipated. Below, we have described our present view of certain important risks. The risk factors set forth below are not the only risks that we may face or that could adversely affect us. If any of the risks discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. If this were to occur, the trading price of our securities could decline significantly and you may lose all or part of your investment.
The following discussion of risk factors contains "forward-looking statements," which may be important to understanding any statement in this Annual Report on Form 10-K or elsewhere. The following information should be read in conjunction with Item 7-Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) and Item 8-Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued a "going concern" opinion.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. We plan to continue to provide for our capital requirements by issuing additional equity. No assurance can be given that additional capital will be available when required or on terms acceptable to us. We also cannot give assurance that we will achieve sufficient revenues in the future to achieve profitability and cash flow positive operations. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there are no assurances that, if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our business plan or to generate positive operating results. Our independent registered public accounting firm has indicated that these matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our future success is largely dependent on the continued service of our one full-time executive.
Halden Shane is our Chief Executive Officer and our only full-time executive. While we expect that the receipt of cash flow from additional sales of our products and services will allow us to retain the services of other full time executives to perform important roles in the growth of both our revenue and product recognition, there can be no assurance that this will occur. As such, we remain very dependent on Halden Shane both choosing to and being able to lead our company toward achieving operational success and profitability. If for any reason we were unable to retain Halden Shane's services as our Chief Executive Officer, our ability to operate and repay the Notes would become much less likely.
4 |
We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks, some of which are beyond our control.
A number of these risks are listed below. These risks could affect actual future results and could cause them to differ materially from any forward-looking statements we have made in this Annual Report. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information set forth in this Form 10-K. Any of the risks described below could significantly and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could fall and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to buy our securities.
No assurance of sales or profitability.
The Company's business is dependent upon the acceptance of its products, licenses and services as an effective and reliable method to perform indoor decontamination and infectious disease control. The Company's business is also dependent on the effectiveness of its marketing program to convince potential clients, potential independent contractors and remediators to utilize its products and services so that the Company will become profitable. There can be no assurance that the public or industry participants will accept the Company's services, or that the Company will be successful or that its business will earn any profit. There can be no assurance that the Company will earn material revenues or that investors will not lose their entire investment. There is no assurance that the Company will operate its business successfully or that its common stock will have value. A failure of the Company's marketing campaign would have a material adverse impact on its operating results, financial condition and business performance.
Competition.
The decontamination and environmental infectious disease control industry is extremely competitive. The Company's principal competitor for its BIT technology is BioQuell. Its principal competitors for its UV ozone generators are Air-Zone and Crystal Air and for its UVGI products are Honeywell, Sannavox and Steril-Air. From a service end the competition are other remediators and abatement companies. These competitors may have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger installed customer bases, and substantially greater financial and marketing resources than the Company. The Company believes that the principal factors affecting competition in this proposed market include name recognition, and the ability to receive referrals based on client confidence in the Company's service. There are no significant barriers of entry that could keep potential competitors from opening similar facilities. The Company's ability to compete successfully in the industry will depend in large part upon its ability to market and sell its indoor decontamination and infectious disease control products and services. Be able to respond effectively to changing insurance industry standards and methodology. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully in the remediation industry, or that future competition will not have a material adverse effect on the business, operating results, and financial condition of the Company.
Dependence on key personnel.
The Company's success is substantially dependent on the performance of its executive officer. Given the Company's early stage of operation, the Company is dependent on its ability to retain and motivate high quality personnel. Although the Company believes it will be able to engage qualified personnel for such purposes, an inability to do so could materially adversely affect the Company's ability to market and perform its services. The loss of one or more of its key employees or the Company's inability to hire and retain other qualified employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.
Inability to sell its license and equipment packages.
In the short-term, the success of the Company's business plan depends heavily on its ability to sell its certification, license and equipment packages, and in the longer term, on its ability to profitably integrate and operate those businesses. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to find and license the new businesses that it needs to successfully implement its business plan. The Company needs to sell its packages in order to grow at an attractive pace. A failure of the Company to sell its licenses and equipment packages will likely have an adverse impact on its operating results, financial condition and business performance.
We may not be able to manage our growth effectively, create operating efficiencies or achieve or sustain profitability.
The ability to manage and operate our business as we execute our growth strategy will require effective planning. Rapid growth could strain our internal resources, leading to a lower quality of customer service, reporting problems and delays in meeting important deadlines, resulting in loss of market share and other problems that could adversely affect our reputation and financial performance. Our efforts to grow have placed, and we expect will continue to 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 continue to update and improve our operational, financial and management controls and procedures. If we do not manage our growth effectively, we could be faced with slower growth and a failure to achieve or sustain profitability
5 |
We may incur significant costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management devotes substantial time to new compliance initiatives.
We may incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a public company, including costs resulting from regulations regarding corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations have increased our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, these rules and regulations could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.
In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("SOX") requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. For the year ended December 31, 2009, we performed system and process evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of SOX. Our testing, or the subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm in the year ending December 31, 2011, may reveal deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. Our compliance with Section 404 may require that we incur substantial expense and expend significant management time on compliance-related issues. Moreover, if our independent registered public accounting firm identify deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our stock would likely decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.
There are inherent limitations in all control systems, and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.
While we continue to take action to ensure compliance with the disclosure controls and other requirements of SOX, there are inherent limitations in our ability to control all circumstances. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, does not expect that any company's controls, including our own, will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefit of controls must be evaluated in relation to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, in our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Further controls can be circumvented by individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more persons, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may be inadequate because of change in conditions or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Risk Related To Our Securities
Our stock price is volatile and there is a limited market for our shares.
The stock markets generally have experienced, and will probably continue to experience, extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market price of the shares of many small capital companies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated to the operating results of such companies. Factors that may affect the volatility of our stock price include the following:
Our success or lack of success, in developing and marketing our products and services;
Our ability to maintain compliance with OTCQB listing requirements;
Our ability to raise the required capital to fund our business;
The announcement of new products, services, or technological innovations by us or our competitors;
Changes in the executive leadership of the company;
Quarterly fluctuations of our operating results;
Changes in revenue or earnings estimates; and
Competition.
6 |
Based on the factors described above, recent trends should not be considered reliable indicators of our future stock prices or financial results.
Our shares of common stock have been traded on the OTCQB. There has been limited trading in our common stock and we cannot give assurances that such a market will develop further or be maintained.
Investors should not expect the payment of dividends by us.
The Company has not paid dividends on its common stock since its inception. The Company currently intends to retain earnings, if any, for use in the business and does not anticipate paying any dividends to its stockholders in the foreseeable future. Investors who require cash dividends from their investments should not purchase our common stock or warrants.
There is no assurance that we will, on a permanent basis, be able to continue to distribute the hydrogen peroxide aerosol.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, we were chosen by the hydrogen peroxide aerosol's manufacturer to facilitate the commercialization of this hydrogen peroxide aerosol. However, this right to be the exclusive distributor or the right to distribute the aerosol on a non-exclusive basis may be terminated by the manufacturer after two years if certain sales milestones are not meet. Since it is presently our intention that distribution of the aerosol will become a materially important source of revenue for us, any termination of our ability to distribute the aerosol will have a material adverse effect on our future revenue.
If we fail to remain current in our SEC reporting obligations, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board, which would adversely affect the market liquidity for our securities.
Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. If we fail to remain current in our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Our common stock is subject to the "penny stock" rules of the SEC, and trading in our securities is very limited, which makes transactions in our common stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our securities.
The SEC has adopted Rule 3a51-1 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, Rule 15g-9 requires:
that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and
the broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

Efforts to comply with recently enacted changes in federal securities laws will increase our costs and require additional management resources.
As directed by Section 404 of SOX, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the Company's internal controls over financial reporting in their annual reports on Form 10-K. In addition, the public accounting firm auditing the company's financial statements must attest to and report on management's assessment of the effectiveness of the company's internal controls over financial reporting. These requirements are not presently applicable to us but we will become subject to these requirements by the end of our next fiscal year. If and when these regulations become applicable to us, and if we are unable to conclude that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting or if our independent auditors are unable to provide us with an unqualified report as to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as required by Section 404 of SOX, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could result in a decrease in the value of our securities. We have not yet begun a formal process to evaluate our internal controls over financial reporting. Given the status of our efforts, coupled with the fact that guidance from regulatory authorities in the area of internal controls continues to evolve, substantial uncertainty exists regarding our ability to comply by applicable deadlines.

Item 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Not Required.
Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains or incorporates by reference certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the 1933 Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and, as such, may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Forward-looking statements are those that predict or describe future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. You can generally identify forward-looking statements as statements containing the words "will," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "assume" or other similar expressions. You should not rely on our forward-looking statements because the matters they describe are subject to assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond our control. Therefore, our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, some of which are listed under the section "Risk Factors," Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In this report references to "TOMI" "we," "us," and "our" refer to TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc.
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This report contains these types of statements. Words such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," or "continue" or comparable terminology used in connection with any discussion of future operating results or financial performance identify forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. All forward-looking statements reflect our present expectation of future events and are subject to a number of important factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
General
TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. is positioned as a global bacteria, viral, mold decontamination and infectious disease control company, providing green energy-efficient environmental solutions for indoor surface and air decontamination through sales, service and licensing of our platform of SteraMist hydrogen peroxide aerosols, Ultra-Violet Ozone Generators and Ultra-Violet Germicidal Irradiation ("UVGI") products and technologies.
Our effort to offer products and services which combat bacterial and viral outbreaks in hospitals was in 2011 enhanced by the addition of a newly developed line of fixed and portable units owned and manufactured by L-3 Communications ("L-3"). This technology is BIT (Binary Ionization Technology) and is sold under the brand name of SteraMist. SteraMist utilizes a patented hydrogen peroxide misting technique (BIT Technology) and was designed by L-3 as a cost-effective method to control the spread of infectious diseases including neutralizing bio-terrorism pathogens such as Anthrax.
We believe that reducing Healthcare Associated Infections ("HAIs"), which are the fourth leading cause of death in the United States and cost the healthcare system approximately $40 billion annually, provide significant opportunities for our products. Ten percent of inpatients contract infections from hospitals, resulting in more than 2,000,000 illnesses and over 100,000 deaths per annum. According to published studies, generic hospital cleaning procedures leave between 30%-60% of microorganisms depending upon the process. TOMI's products safely and effectively kill 99.9999% of all known pathogens as a part of its service to healthcare facilities such as hospitals for the decontamination of bacteria and other pathogens within these facilities. In comparison to most of its competitors, the SteraMist product has a higher kill level, leaves no residue, is not effected by humidity, has a shorter treatment time and converts to oxygen and water.
9 |
Other vertical industry applications for SteraMist in no particular order are: the Professional Remediation Industry, First responders, Food safety industry, Athletics, Hospitality Industry, Transportation, Education, Entertainment, Homeland Defense, and various branches of the Military.
Our SteraMist and other products are currently being used in a broad spectrum of commercial structures including medical facilities, office buildings, hotels, schools, pharmaceutical companies, clean rooms, remediation companies, military barracks, and athletic facilities. The products and services that we offer have are also being used in single-family homes and multi-unit residences.
We intend to generate and support research on other surface and air remediation solutions including hydroxyl radicals and other Reactive Oxygen Species ("ROS") and to form business alliances with major remediation companies, construction companies and corporations specializing in disaster relief in North America, South America, Central America, Europe, the Middle East and the Far East to assist in expanding our sales.
The Company began sales to international locations during the third quarter of 2010. In February 2012, the Company entered into a Sales and Distribution Agreement covering Latin America and the Caribbean and subsequently sold its first SteraMist unit in Latin America in March 2012 and repeated orders in the third quarter of 2012.
In April 2012, we completed our first sale in Panama arising from this new agreement. We also made continued aerosol solution sales under our ongoing program with Sinai Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, Northwest Hospital in Randallstown, Maryland. SteraMist is also being used by Baptist Hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas, and Geisenger Medical Center in Danville, Pennsylvania. Our decontamination system is currently being tested in two other major U.S. hospitals.
The Company recently completed an official pilot study at the request of Panama Social Security Program (CSS), successfully remediating biological/bacterial colonies. As a result, the Company was engaged to expand this program in multiple Panamanian hospitals.
We continue to pursue complementary business opportunities in manufacturing Reactive Oxygen Species related products, testing labs and other indoor air treatment and maintenance products.
When we complete the sale of equipment to customers, our services usually include providing initial and ongoing training to customer employees.
In 2011, we made our first sale of a SteraMist hydrogen peroxide aerosol unit to a major metropolitan hospital that is now expanding its program to use this equipment for additional rooms and facilities.
Business Outlook
TOMI's business growth objective is to be "The Global Leader in Decontamination and Infectious Disease Control" by developing and acquiring a premier platform of Hydrogen Peroxide aerosols, UV Ozone Generators and other green UVGI products and technologies. We also intend to generate and support research on other air remediation solutions including hydroxyl radicals and other Reactive Oxygen Species ("ROS") and to form business alliances with major remediation companies, construction companies and corporations specializing in disaster relief along with expanding our sales in North America, South America, Central America and the Far East.
Results of Operations
Years Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011
During the year ended December 31, 2012, we had total revenue of $564,142, as compared to total revenue of $208,399 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 when compared to the prior comparable period is primarily due to our initial penetration of the Latin American market and repeat sales to hospitals that first used our products on a trial basis in 2011.
The net loss attributable to the Company for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $1,750,407. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 is due to various general and administrative expenses in the amount of $1,439,357 and professional fees of $207,926, respectively. Professional and consulting fees include legal, accounting and management consulting expenses. General and administrative expenses primarily include payroll and payroll related expenses, rent and depreciation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The consolidated financial statements contained in this Annual Report have been prepared on a "going concern" basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have an immediate and urgent need for additional capital. For the reasons discussed herein, there is a significant risk that we will be unable to continue as a going concern, in which case, you would suffer a total loss of your investment in our company.
We plan on funding operations and our liquidity needs from licensing and sales arrangements, structured similarly to our current Licensing and Sales Agreement that have profit margins from sale of equipment, licensing of equipment, recurring income from solution sales.
We also intend to continue to raise equity capital through the sale of restricted stock and short-term notes convertible into common stock.
Our liquid assets generally consist of unpledged assets and cash and cash equivalents.
Contractual Obligations
None.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimation process requires assumptions to be made about future events and conditions, and as such, is inherently subjective and uncertain. Actual results could differ materially from our estimates.
The SEC defines critical accounting policies as those that are, in management's view, most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and most demanding of our judgment. We consider the following policies to be critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements and the uncertainties associated with the complex judgments made by us that could impact our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Income (Loss) Per Share
The computation of income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted income (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
For revenue from services and product sales, the Company recognized revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition" (SAB No. 104), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" (SAB No. 101). SAB No. 104 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) service has been rendered or delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgment regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the services rendered or products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts to customers, and allowance, and other adjustments will be provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.
11 |
Fair Value Measurement
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements". ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The implementation of this standard did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial positions, results of operations, or cash flows. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, other accrued expenses and notes payables approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the award's fair value and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company currently has one active stock-based compensation plan, TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan calls for the Company through a committee of its Board of Directors, to issue up to 2,500,000 shares of restricted common stock or stock options. The Company generally issues grants to its employees, consultants, and board members. Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of its common stock on the date of grant with a term no greater than 10 years. Generally, stock options vest over two to four years. Incentive stock options granted to shareholders who own 10% or more of the Company's outstanding stock are granted at an exercise price that may not be less than 110% of the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant and have a term no greater than five years. At the date of grant, the Company determines the fair value of the stock option award and recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. The fair value of the stock option award is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. As of December 31, 2012, the Company issued 100,000 options under the Plan.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2012-02, "Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment"("ASU 2012-02"). ASU 2012-02 gives entities an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset impaired. If based on its qualitative assessment an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, quantitative impairment testing is not required. ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2012-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2011-11, "Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2011-11"). ASU 2011-11 enhances current disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset on the statement of financial position or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset on the statement of financial position. Entities are required to provide both net and gross information for these assets and liabilities in order to facilitate comparability between financial statements prepared on the basis of U.S. GAAP and financial statements prepared on the basis of IFRS. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2011-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08 ("ASU 2011-08"), which updates the guidance in ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill & Other. The amendments in ASU 2011-08 permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in ASC Topic 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than fifty percent. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. The amendments in ASU 2011-08 include examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider in evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. However, the examples are not intended to be all-inclusive and an entity may identify other relevant events and circumstances to consider in making the determination. The examples in this ASU 2011-08 supersede the previous examples under ASC Topic 350 of events and circumstances an entity should consider in determining whether it should test for impairment between annual tests, and also supersede the examples of events and circumstances that an entity having a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount should consider in determining whether to perform the second step of the impairment test. Under the amendments in ASU 2011-08, an entity is no longer permitted to carry forward its detailed calculation of a reporting unit's fair value from a prior year as previously permitted under ASC Topic 350. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
12 |
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04 ("ASU 2011-04"), which updated the guidance in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in ASU 2011-04 generally represent clarifications of Topic 820, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. ASU 2011-04 results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments in ASU 2011-04 are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Management does not believe there would have been a material effect on the accompanying financial statements had any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards been adopted in the current period
Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
Item 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
The Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 are included in this annual report, beginning on page F-1.
Item 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
During the two most recent fiscal years we have not had a change in, or disagreement with, our independent registered public accounting firm.
Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer who is also our Principal Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, as is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our disclosure controls and procedures are intended to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Our management has concluded that the financial statements included in this Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events.
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
13 |
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our 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.
Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During our most recent fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
None.
Item 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Our executive officers and directors and their biographical information are presented below. Our bylaws require three directors who serve until our next annual meeting or until each is succeeded by a qualified director. Our executive officers are appointed by our Board of Directors and serve at its discretion. There are no existing family relationships between or among any of our executive officers or directors.
Halden S. Shane: Dr. Shane has been our Chairman since the Company's inception. Up until 2009 Dr. Shane also served as President and CEO of Tiger Management International, a private management company that deals in business management of private and public companies. Dr. Shane resigned all positions and closed Tiger Management International in 2009. Dr. Shane was founder and CEO of Integrated Healthcare Alliance, Inc. and also founder and General Partner of Doctors Hospital West Covina, California. Prior thereto, Dr. Shane practiced podiatric surgery specializing in ankle arthroscopy.
Harold W. Paul: Mr. Paul has been a director since June 2009. He has been engaged in the private practice of law for thirty-five years, primarily as a securities specialist. Mr. Paul has been company counsel to public companies listed on the AMEX, NASDAQ and OTC exchanges. He has served as a director for six public companies in a variety of industries, including technology and financial services. He holds a BA degree from SUNY at Stony Brook and a JD from Brooklyn Law School and is admitted to practice in New York and Connecticut.
Audit Committee
The Company's audit committee was established in June 2009 and is currently comprised of Harold W. Paul.
14 |
Our Board has determined that it does not have a member of its Audit Committee that qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B, and is "independent" as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act.
We believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our current circumstances.
Code of Ethics
The Board adopted a Code of Ethics in 2008 applies to, among other persons, Board members, officers including our Chief Executive Officer, contractors, consultants and advisors. Our Code of Ethics sets forth written standards designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
honest and ethical conduct including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with or submit to the SEC and in other public communications made by us;
compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Ethics; and
accountability for adherence to the Code of Ethics.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (A Florida Corporation)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("the Company") as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficiency) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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 audits 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 Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Also, an audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide 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 TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has had limited revenues and incurred net losses during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and has not been able to generate positive cash from operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

TOMI ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. ("the Company") is a global decontamination and infectious disease control company, providing green energy-efficient environmental solutions for indoor surface decontamination through sales and licensing of our premier platform of Hydrogen Peroxide aerosols, Ultra-Violet Ozone Generators and Ultra-Violet Germicidal Irradiation ("UVGI") products and technologies.
Our products are designed to service a broad spectrum of commercial structures including medical facilities, office buildings, hotel and motel rooms, schools, restaurants, meat and produce processing facilities, military barracks, and athletic facilities. Our products and services have also been used in single-family homes and multi-unit residences.
In July 2010, the Company established TOMI Environmental Solutions-Singapore Pte, Ltd. ("TOMI-Singapore"), a subsidiary with an ownership interest of 55% and began operations in Singapore. In November 2011 the Company disposed of TOMI Singapore.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Going Concern
The Company had limited revenues during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and has incurred a net loss of $1,750,407 and $824,880 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In addition, the Company has not been able to generate positive cash from operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company plans on funding operations and liquidity needs from licensing arrangements, debt financing and sales of its common stock and notes convertible into common stock. There can be no assurance that additional funds required for continued operations during the next year or thereafter will be generated from our operations.
Should the Company seek additional funds from external sources such as debt or additional equity financings or other potential sources, there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company's existing stockholders. The inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise sufficient capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business.
Accordingly, the Company's existence is dependent on management's ability to develop profitable operations and resolve its liquidity problems. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company plans to raise additional funds through debt and equity placements and increase revenue through new product development. In the event that the Company cannot generate sufficient cash flow from its operations or raise proceeds from offering debt or equity securities, the Company may be forced to curtail or cease its activities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its goals.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (a Florida Corporation) (Parent), its wholly owned subsidiary, TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (a Nevada Corporation) and through November 2011 its 55% owned subsidiary, TOMI-Singapore. In November 2011 the Company disposed of TOMI-Singapore. The Company's 55% owned subsidiary, TOMI-Environmental-China (TOMI-China) has been dormant since its formation in April 2011. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
F-8 |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the accounts receivable, fair values of financial instruments, intangible assets, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, fair values of stock-based awards, income taxes, and contingent liabilities, among others. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
Reclassification of Accounts
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-year comparative financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or financial position.
Fair Value Measurements
The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data or substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company's financial instruments include cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and loans payable. All these items were determined to be Level 1 fair value measurements.
The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and loans payable approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand held at financial institutions and other liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Amounts held at financial institutions did not exceed federally insured limits at December 31, 2012.
Property and Equipment
We account for property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to five years. Depreciation for equipment, furniture and fixtures and vehicles commences once placed in service for its intended use.
Long-Lived Assets Including Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangible Assets
The Company reviews its property and equipment and intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We measure recoverability of these assets by comparing the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If property and equipment and intangible assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair market value. At December 31, 2012 the Company recognized an impairment loss of $69,439 on its intellectual property and trademarks (see Note 4).

Income (Loss) Per Share
The computation of basic income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted income (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share because the effect of any potentially dilutive securities outstanding would be anti-dilutive and has, therefore, been excluded from the computation. For the year ended December 31, 2011, there were common stock equivalents of 510,000 shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at a conversion rate of one common share for every preferred share (510,000 common shares), convertible debentures convertible into 1,500,000 shares of common stock, warrants exercisable into 375,000 common shares, and 60,000 options (exercisable into 60,000 common shares). For the year ended December 31, 2012, there were common stock equivalents of 510,000 shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at a conversion rate of one common share for every preferred share (510,000 common shares), warrants exercisable into 8,475,000 shares of common stock, and 60,000 options (exercisable into 60,000 common shares).
Revenue Recognition
For revenue from services and product sales, the Company recognized revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition" (SAB No. 104), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" (SAB No. 101). SAB No. 104 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) service has been rendered or delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgment regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the services rendered or products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts to customers, and allowance, and other adjustments will be provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.
Stock-based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the award's fair value and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company currently has one active stock-based compensation plan, TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan calls for the Company through a committee of its Board of Directors, to issue up to 2,500,000 shares of restricted common stock or stock options. The Company generally issues grants to its employees, consultants, and board members. Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of its common stock on the date of grant with a term no greater than 10 years. Generally, stock options vest over two to four years. Incentive stock options granted to shareholders who own 10% or more of the Company's outstanding stocks are granted at an exercise price that may not be less than 110% of the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant and have a term no greater than five years. At the date of grant, the Company determines the fair value of the stock option award and recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. The fair value of the stock option award is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. As of December 31, 2012, the Company has 60,000 options outstanding and 1,336,250 common shares issued under the Plan.
Debt Discount
The Company follows the authoritative guidance for accounting for debt discount and valuation of detachable warrants. The Company recognized the value of detachable warrants issued in conjunction with issuance of the convertible Debenture note. The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company recorded the warrant relative fair value as an increase to additional paid-in capital and discount against the related debt. The discount attributed to the value of the warrants is amortized over the term of the underlying debt.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when the expected recognition of a deferred tax asset is considered to be unlikely. The guidance also requires that the Company determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority.
F-10 |
Advertising and Promotional Expenses
The Company expenses advertising costs in the period in which they are incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, advertising expenses totaled approximately $0 and $2,200, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2012-02, "Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment" ("ASU 2012-02"). ASU 2012-02 gives entities an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset impaired. If based on its qualitative assessment an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, quantitative impairment testing is not required. ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2012-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2011-11, "Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2011-11"). ASU 2011-11 enhances current disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset on the statement of financial position or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset on the statement of financial position. Entities are required to provide both net and gross information for these assets and liabilities in order to facilitate comparability between financial statements prepared on the basis of U.S. GAAP and financial statements prepared on the basis of IFRS. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2011-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08 ("ASU 2011-08"), which updates the guidance in ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill & Other. The amendments in ASU 2011-08 permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in ASC Topic 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than fifty percent. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. The amendments in ASU 2011-08 include examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider in evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. However, the examples are not intended to be all-inclusive and an entity may identify other relevant events and circumstances to consider in making the determination. The examples in this ASU 2011-08 supersede the previous examples under ASC Topic 350 of events and circumstances an entity should consider in determining whether it should test for impairment between annual tests, and also supersede the examples of events and circumstances that an entity having a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount should consider in determining whether to perform the second step of the impairment test. Under the amendments in ASU 2011-08, an entity is no longer permitted to carry forward its detailed calculation of a reporting unit's fair value from a prior year as previously permitted under ASC Topic 350. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-04, which updated the guidance in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of Topic 820, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This update results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and early application is not permitted. ASU 2011-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Convertible Notes Payable
On November 21, 2011, we sold a $75,000 convertible promissory note bearing interest at 10% per annum and maturing on December 31, 2016. The note is convertible at any time, contains various default provisions and the conversion price is initially $0.05 per share. After June 30, 2012, the conversion price will at the end of each month adjust to the lower of the current conversion price or 110% of that month's volume weighted average price as reported by Bloomberg subject to being no lower than $0.005 per shares. Accordingly, a derivative instrument will be established at that time. The purchaser of the Note also received 375,000 warrants to acquire common shares. The warrants expire on December 31, 2017 and have an initial exercise price which is $0.05 per share and can adjust lower in the same manner as the accompanying convertible note, thereby becoming a derivative instrument at that time.
These warrants and note were valued at $89,999 using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: expected volatility 327%; expected dividend -0-; expected term 5.12 and 6.12 years; and risk free rate .25%.
F-12 |
The Company recorded a deferred debt discount in the amount of $75,000 and finance charge of $14,999.

The warrants expire on December 31, 2017, have an initial exercise price of $0.05 per share and can adjust lower in the same manner as the accompanying convertible note, thereby becoming a derivative instrument at that time.
These warrants and promissory note were valued at $123,995 using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: expected volatility: 309%; expected dividend: $0; expected term: 5.87 years; and risk-free rate: 0.25%.
The Company recorded a deferred debt discount in the amount of $100,000 and a finance charge of $23,995.

The Company issued a total of 20,000 options valued at $600 to one director in January 2012. The options have an exercise price of $0.03. The options expire on January 2022. The options were valued using the Black-Scholes model using the following assumptions: volatility: 322%; dividend yield: 0%; zero coupon rate: 0.25%; and a life of 10 years.
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option-pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its options.
A summary of the status of the Company's options is presented below.

NOTE 7. RELATED PARTY
In February 2011, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with its CEO that provides for a base salary of $20,000, subject to CPI adjustments, incentive performance bonuses equal to 12% of the Company's annual GAAP earnings for the years 2011 through 2015 and discretionary bonuses, as well as expense reimbursements and certain employee benefits. The agreement terminates December 31, 2015.
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has accrued $5,000 and $20,000 respectively, for unpaid wages under the employment agreement.

NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
None.
NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES
At December 31, 2012 the Company had available net-operating loss carryforwards for Federal tax purposes of approximately $4,200,000, which may be applied against future taxable income, if any, from 2027 to 2032. Certain significant changes in ownership of the Company may restrict the future utilization of these tax loss carryforwards.
At December 31, 2012 the Company had a deferred tax asset of approximately $1,428,000 representing the benefit of its net operating loss carry-forwards. The Company has not recognized any tax benefit or tax assets from these loss carry-forwards due to the fact that realization of the tax benefit is uncertain and therefore, a valuation allowance equal to 100% of the tax benefit has been applied against the value of any tax asset arising from these losses. The difference between the federal statutory tax rate of 34% and the Company's effective tax rate of 0% is due to an increase in the valuation allowance of approximately $166,000 in 2012.
NOTE 10. DEBT EXTINGUISHMENT
