TOMI ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As discussed in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “TOMI” refer to TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc.
 
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. is a global decontamination and infectious disease control company, providing environmental solutions for indoor and outdoor surface decontamination through the sale of equipment, services and licensing of our SteraMistTM Binary Ionization Technology® (“BIT™”) hydrogen peroxide based mist and fogs.
 
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and stated in U.S. dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without an audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2014 and notes thereto which are included in the Form 10-K previously filed with the SEC on March 24, 2015. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (a Florida Corporation) (TOMI-Florida), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (a Nevada Corporation) (TOMI-Nevada).  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.

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.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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 our assets and liabilities.
 
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:
 
 
9

 

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, and accounts payable and accrued expenses.  All these items were determined to be Level 1 fair value measurements.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.  At December 31, 2014, the recorded value of convertible debt approximates its fair value as the terms and rates approximate market rates (See also Note 6).

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.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (”FIFO”) method.  Inventories consist primarily of finished goods.

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.  Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the respective leases or service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.

Deferred Financing Costs

The Company follows authoritative guidance for accounting for financing costs as it relates to convertible debt issuance cost.  These costs are deferred and amortized over the term of the debt period or until redemption of the convertible debentures.  Amortization of deferred financing costs amounted to approximately $200,000 and $256,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively.

Income taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits, which are, on a more likely than not basis, not expected to be realized; in accordance with ASC guidance for income taxes. Net deferred tax benefits have been fully reserved at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that such tax rate changes are enacted.

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the Company’s net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented.  Diluted loss per share is based on the treasury stock method and includes the effect from potential issuance of common stock such as shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of warrants and conversions of debentures.

Potentially dilutive securities as of September 30, 2015, consisted of 35,601,413 common shares from outstanding warrants, 100,000 common shares from options and 510,000 common shares from convertible Series A preferred stock.  Diluted and basic weighted average shares are the same, as potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive.

Potentially dilutive securities as of September 30, 2014, consisted of 17,496,552 common shares from convertible debentures, 32,356,578 common shares from outstanding warrants, 80,000 common shares from options and 510,000 common shares from convertible Series A preferred stock.  Diluted and basic weighted average shares are the same, as potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive.

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.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 the 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 equity securities 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. On the date of a 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 September 30, 2015, the Company had 291 shares available to be issued under the Plan.

On February 11, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2014 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), subject to shareholder approval.  Each of the named executive officers is eligible for annual equity awards, which are granted pursuant to the Plan.  The Plan authorizes the grant of non-qualified and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards (each, an “Award”). A maximum of 5,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for potential issuance pursuant to Awards under the Plan.  On August 25, 2015 the Company’s Board of Directors cancelled the Plan.  No shares were issued under the plan prior to its cancellation.

On August 25, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2015 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), subject to shareholder approval.  Each of the named executive officers is eligible for annual equity awards, which are granted pursuant to the Plan.  The Plan authorizes Dividend Equivalent Rights, or DERs, or phantom shares, which qualify as performance-based awards under Section 162(m) of the Code. A maximum of 5,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for potential issuance pursuant to Awards under the Plan.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents.  The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions which exceed the current Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limit of $250,000 at times during the year.

Long-Lived Assets Including Acquired Intangible Assets

The Company assesses long-lived assets for potential impairments at the end of each year, or during the year if an event or other circumstance indicates that we may not be able to recover the carrying amount of the asset. In evaluating long-lived assets for impairment, the Company measures recoverability of these assets by comparing the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate.  If the Company’s long-lived 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. The Company bases its calculations of the estimated fair value of its long-lived assets on the income approach. For the income approach, The Company uses
 
 
11

 
 
an internally developed discounted cash flow model that include, among others, the following assumptions: projections of revenues and expenses and related cash flows based on assumed long-term growth rates and demand trends; expected future investments to grow new units; and estimated discount rates. We base these assumptions on our historical data and experience, industry projections, micro and macro general economic condition projections, and our expectations. We have had no long-lived asset impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Advertising and Promotional Expenses

The Company expenses advertising costs in the period in which they are incurred. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, advertising and promotional expenses were approximately $25,000 and $6,000, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May of 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09) “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”  ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)”, and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.  ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period.  Early adoption is not permitted.  We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 6. CONVERTIBLE DEBT

In November 2012, the Company initiated a Private Placement offering a maximum of 240 Units of the Company’s securities at a price of $25,000 per Unit or $6,000,000. The initial closing of the offering occurred in April 2013 as the bulk of the net proceeds of the offering were to be allocated for the asset purchase from L-3 Applied Technologies, Inc., which agreement was not finalized until April 2013.  Each Unit consisted of $25,000 par amount of a 10% Senior Secured Callable Convertible Promissory Note due and payable on July 31, 2015 and 37,500 warrants each of which allows the investor to purchase one share of common stock and expires on July 31, 2018.  Interest was payable on the Notes at a rate of 10% per annum, and payable on July 31st and January 31st.  The Notes were secured by the Company's intellectual property such as the Patents, royalties, receivables of the Company and all equipment except for the new equipment acquired with the proceeds from any future financing that is initially secured by this new equipment.  The Notes called for the establishment of a sinking fund.  Within 45 days of each calendar quarter 15% of the Company’s reported revenue was required to be deposited into the Company’s escrowed sinking fund account.

The Company sold 202.96 Units for gross proceeds of $5,074,000 and issued 7,611,000 warrants in connection with the Units.  Net proceeds amounted to $4,462,693 after expenses of offering totaling $611,307.  In addition, the placement agent received 1,014,800 warrants valued at $165,180.

The convertible notes were convertible, at the option of the note holder, into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $.29 (which conversion price is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of events specified in the Convertible
 
 
13

 
 
Notes, including stock dividends, stock splits, certain fundamental corporate transactions, and certain issuances of common stock by the Company).

The Warrants are exercisable into shares of Common Stock (the "Warrant Shares") at an initial exercise price of $0.30 (which may be subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Warrants). 

The Company evaluated the warrants under ASC 815-40-15 due to the exercise price being adjustable upon certain events occurring.  The company determined that the warrants are considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and thus meet the scope exception under FASB ASC 815-10-15-74 and are therefore not considered a derivative.  The estimated fair value of the warrants, which contain reset provisions, were calculated using the Monte Carlo valuation model.   The Company recorded the warrant’s relative fair value of $956,712 as an increase to additional paid in capital and a discount against the related debt.

The Convertible Notes contained a provision whereby the conversion price is adjustable upon the occurrence of certain events, including the issuance of common stock or common stock equivalents at a price which is lower than the current conversion price. Under FASB ASC 815-40-15-5, the embedded conversion feature was not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and, therefore, did not meet the scope exception in FASB ASC 815-10-15 and thus needed to be accounted for as a derivative liability.  The initial fair value of the embedded conversion feature was estimated at $7,316,092 and recorded as a derivative liability, resulting in an additional discount of $4,117,288 to the convertible notes and a finance charge of $3,198,804 included in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The fair value of the embedded conversion feature was estimated at the end of each quarterly reporting period using the Monte Carlo model.

Inherent in the Monte Carlo Valuation model are assumptions related to expected volatility, remaining life, risk-free rate and expected dividend yield.  For the Convertible Notes using a Monte Carlo model, we estimate the probability and timing of potential future financing and fundamental transactions as applicable.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company applied various assumptions into the Monte Carlo Valuation models to determine the change in the fair value of the derivative liability as of the retirement dates of the convertible notes.

The debt discount was amortized over the life of the convertible note using the effective interest method and was fully amortized upon the retirement of the convertible notes during the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

In June 2015, the Company offered the noteholders options to convert to cash or at a reduced conversion price on the convertible notes from $.29 per share provided the conversion feature was exercised prior to June 30, 2015.  If the note holder agreed to lock up the converted shares for six (6) months or an uplift to the NYSE or NASDAQ, whichever is shorter, the conversion price was reduced to $.26 per share. Absent the lock up, the note holder could convert at $.275 per share. All note holders except two converted at $.26.  Pursuant to the terms of the conversion offer, an aggregate of $3,774,000 of the convertible notes and $124,000 of accrued interest were converted into 14,913,968 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company recognized an induced conversion cost of $930,383 related to all conversions and retirements.

In addition, during the quarter ended June 30, 2015, an aggregate of $1,300,000 of the convertible notes and $87,500 in accrued interest were repaid in the form of cash.

NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE
 
           Level 3 financial instruments consist of certain embedded conversion features. The fair value of these embedded conversion features that have exercise reset features are estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements.” (See note 6) The unobservable input used by the Company was the estimation of the likelihood of a reset occurring on the embedded conversion feature of the Convertible Notes.  These estimates of the likelihood of completing an equity raise that would meet the criteria to trigger the reset provisions are based on numerous factors, including the remaining term of the financial instruments and the Company’s overall financial condition.
 
The following table summarizes the changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments for the period ended September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  Upon the retirement of the convertible notes in June of 2015, the fair value of the derivative liability was $0.

Reclassification to additional paid in capital due to retirement of convertible notes
    (5,539,838 )     -  
Ending Balance
  $ -     $ 1,728,883  
 
           Changes in the unobservable input values would likely cause material changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement is the estimation of the likelihood of the occurrence of a change to the conversion price based on the contractual terms of the financial instruments. A significant increase (decrease) in this likelihood would result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement.  As of September 30, 2015, the balance of derivative liability was $0 as the convertible notes were retired prior to the end of the second quarter.
 
NOTE 8. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Stock Warrants

On February 11, 2014, as part of the employment agreements entered into with its three executive officers (CEO, President and COO), the Board of Directors approved the grant of 3,000,000 stock warrants to each of them as executive compensation. The warrants have a term of five years and vest as follows: 1,000,000 warrants will vest upon issuance; 1,000,000 warrants will vest as of February 11, 2015, and 1,000,000 warrants will vest as of February 11, 2016. The exercise price of the warrants is $0.30 per share based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date of $0.32.  If employment is terminated, the terms of any then outstanding warrant held by the holder shall extend for a period ending on the earlier of the date on which such warrant would otherwise expire or three months after such termination of employment and the warrant shall be exercisable to the extent it was exercisable as of the date of termination of employment. Any unvested warrants shall immediately vest on termination. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes method to fair value the 3,000,000 warrants received by these individuals totaling approximately $952,000 for each executive with the following assumptions: volatility, 233%; expected dividend yield, 0%; risk free interest rate, 1.54%; and a life of 5 years. The grant date fair value of each warrant was $0.32.  Effective September 25, 2014, the President and COO resigned from their positions with the Company and accordingly, the remaining unvested warrants immediately vested.  As of December 31, 2014, their warrants expired.

On February 11, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the granting of 300,000 stock warrants to its CFO Chris Chipman as incentive compensation.  Effective July 18, 2014, Chris Chipman resigned from his position of Chief Financial Officer of the Company and accordingly, his unvested share of warrants were deemed to be null and void.

General

The Company was incorporated in Florida in 1979. In October 2007, the Company and its controlling shareholders entered into a definitive Agreement whereby the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of The Ozone Man, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (“Ozone Nevada”). Although the Company 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.

         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 SteraMistTM equipment that currently accounts for nearly all of our revenue.

         In April 2013, we completed the acquisition of certain assets from L-3 Applied Technologies, Inc. (“L-3”) for $3,510,000. At that moment our business model consisting of the production of activated ionized hydrogen peroxide and the transformation into TOMI’s reactive oxygen species began as we reengineered the prototypes into TOMI’s, Binary Ionization Technology® (BIT™), branded as SteraMist™, technology that is a direct offspring of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).  DARPA is an advanced technology incubator, which has given birth to many game changing technologies, such as stealth fighters, M16 assault rifles, and the Internet. BIT™ is a technology with a strong foundation.

        Developed in response to the anthrax attacks after 9-11, BIT™ is a patented two-step process that aerosolizes and activates a low concentration hydrogen peroxide solution producing a fine aqueous mist that contains a high concentration of Reactive Oxidative Species (ROS). ROS cause damage to pathogenic organisms via mechanisms such as oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids and amino acids leading to cellular disruption and/or dysfunction. The unique physiochemistry of the Activated Ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (AIHP) allows these ROS to exist in high concentrations without rapidly recombining and losing their reactivity.

        Testing detailed by DARPA demonstrates these ROSs, which include the hydroxyl ion and hydroxyl radicals, aggressively break the double bonds in bacterial spores, biological and chemical warfare agents (BWA and CWA) neutralizing their threat and producing nontoxic byproducts.

        Brought to the commercial market in June 2013, TOMI’s current suite of products incorporates BIT™ Solution and applicators including the SteraMist™ Surface Unit and the SteraMist™ Environment System. Current SteraMist™ BIT™ Technology has expanded beyond chemical and biological warfare applications to deactivate problem microorganisms (including spores) in a wide variety of commercial settings. SteraMist™ BIT™ provides fast acting biological deactivation and works in even the most hard-to-reach areas while leaving no residue or noxious fumes. The by-products of the AIHP are oxygen and water (humidity).

TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. currently targets domestic and international markets for the control of microorganisms and the decontamination of large and small indoor space for biological pathogens and chemical agents including infectious diseases in hospital, bio-secure labs, pharmaceutical, biodefense, biosafety including isolation and transfer chambers, tissue banks, food safety and many other commercial and residential settings.

Internationally, SteraMist™ has been used and has shown to reduce many problem organisms found in healthcare and other environments including bacterial spores, VRE, C.diff, MERS and Ebola.

Independent lab testing, study data, and field clinical data have shown six-log efficacy against Geobacillus stearothermophilus which is the standard for bacterial spore testing against steam, dry heat and hydrogen peroxide sterilization.

 

 

SteraMist™ BIT™ has recently been registered (June, 2015) with the EPA as a hospital-healthcare disinfectant for use as a misting/fogging agent, and as the first two stage hospital grade disinfectant. SteraMist™ BIT™ also holds a second EPA registration for mold control and air & surface remediation.

In September of 2015, TOMI’s SteraMist™ BIT™ received registration as hospital disinfectant from the state of California Department of Pesticide Regulation (CDPR).

In June of 2015, TOMI signed a Materials Transfer Agreement with the Agriculture Research Service (ARS) to conduct food safety research using TOMI’s Activated Ionized Hydrogen Peroxide or SteraMist BIT. The company is also seeking FDA and USDA approval for its product in the medical device sterilization field, food packaging, preservation and food safety industries.
 
This acquired patented technology relates to a disinfection/decontamination system that applies atmospheric cold plasma activation to a hydrogen peroxide based mist and fog and produces a Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) aerosolized mist that resembles a fog but moves like a gas and is trademarked as Binary Ionization Technology® (BITTM) deactivates most organic compounds quickly and effectively by inactivating viruses, killing bacteria, bacteria spores, molds spores, other fungi and yeast, both in the air and on surfaces,  BIT™ does not damage delicate medical equipment and computers as BIT™’s only by-product is oxygen and water (humidity) with the smallest of carbon footprint.

SteraMistTM (BITTM) convert low percentage levels of hydrogen peroxide into a group of ROSs composed mostly of hydroxyl radicals that provides fast acting, broad-spectrum decontamination, and leaves no residue or noxious fumes. The characteristics of the produced aerosol mist ensures safety of employees and equipment, while providing maximum decontamination efficacy to both air and surfaces.  BITTM has also been shown to effectively decontaminate weaponized biological agents like Anthrax, chemical agents such as VX, and Mustard gas when applied using properly developed protocols. A summary of BITTM capabilities can be found in the DHS “Guide for the Selection of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Decontamination Equipment for Emergency First Responders” (2nd Edition, March 2007).

By acquiring this patent, TOMI now controls this innovative, patented technology and has the ability to build its client base and expand into other market segments beyond its current customers. For example, once a current customer has purchased one of our portable hand-held or mobile units (or has tried our service), they regularly reorder TOMI’s BIT™ solution for continued applications and have expanded their initial SteraMistTM program assuring repeat business and an ongoing revenue stream as long as the system is in use.

We believe that reducing Healthcare Associated Infections (“HAI”), which is one of the top ten leading cause of death in the United States and cost the healthcare system approximately $36 - $45 billion annually according to the Centers for Disease Control, provide significant opportunities for our technology, services, and products. Statistically, it has been documented that approximately 10% of inpatients contract infections from hospitals resulting in more than 2,000,000 illnesses and over 100,000 deaths per annum. Further, it has been estimated that approximately 15% of all discharged patients are readmitted with infections, which among other things results in the healthcare facility becoming financially penalized. According to published studies, current hospital cleaning procedures leave behind between 30%-60% of microorganisms depending upon the process. These remaining surface and air pathogens increase the risk of acquiring a HAI. TOMI’s BITTM has safely and effectively produced a 99.999% (a five-log kill) or a 99.9999% (a six-log kill) whenever challenged. In comparison to most of its competitors, SteraMistTM technology has a quicker and higher kill level in a shorter time, leaves no residue, is not effected by humidity, is not caustic, does not blister painted surfaces, contains no silver ions, requires no humidify alteration prior to use, has a shorter exposure time, is quicker to exhaust due to the production of the reactive oxygen species verses nebulization of higher concentrates of hydrogen peroxide, contains no bleach, rooms require little or no prep prior to treatment, and converts to oxygen and water,all which differentiates us from our competition.

     Our SteraMistTM and BITTM Technology and TOMI’s related service platform are currently being used in a broad spectrum of industries including:

·
medical facilities
·
bio-safety labs
·
tissue labs
·
clean rooms

The Company intends to generate and support research on improving, extending and applying our patents.  To date, we have received interest, both domestically and internationally, to form business alliances with major healthcare companies, biosafety labs, tissue and blood labs, pharmaceutical companies, the food safety industry, border protection including homeland defense companies, construction companies and remediation companies.

The Company began sales to international locations during the third quarter of 2010. In September 2013, the Company entered into a Sales and Distribution Agreement with TOMI Panama, a non-affiliated company in Panama and successfully completed an official pilot study at the request of Panama Social Security Program (CSS), performing bio-mass reduction and remediation of biological bacterial colonies. As a result, the Panamanian Government accepted the Company’s technology as the only decontamination product of its kind that is authorized by the Panamanian Government to be purchased by their hospitals for the next two years. On September 30, 2013, TOMI was awarded a multi-year contract from Panama Social Security Program (“CSS Contract”) to initiate biomass reduction and decontamination services. During the 4th quarter 2013, TOMI completed the biomass reduction and decontamination services at The Complejo Hospitalario Metropolitano in Panama City, Panama. Currently, we are actively engaged to expand this program and make SteraMistTM a standard for decontamination in over 41 Panamanian hospitals.

On March 21, 2014, the Company entered into a distribution and licensing agreement with Plascencia Universal, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Plascencia Universal”), a Mexican company that will act as the exclusive distributor of TOMI’s products and services in Mexico. The agreement provides for a $300,000 licensing fee that will be recognized based on the gross purchases made by Plascencia Universal from the Company.  The principal of Plascencia Universal is also the broker for the Company’s insurance policies and was appointed a director of the Company.

In April of 2015, the Company modified its agreement with Plascencia Universal with respect to the license fee included in the original agreement.

During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company expanded into the South Korean market and entered into an independent sales agreement with KMS I&T Co., Ltd.  (“KMS”) and Fine C&S Co., both of whom are representatives of the G -Well Group.  The Company shipped its initial order of approximately $101,000 in the fourth quarter of 2014.  Revenue recognized through the third quarter of 2015 amounted to approximately $82,000.

      In February of 2015, the Company announced the launch of the TOMI Service Network (“TSN”).  The TSN will allow the Company to enhance its service division by creating a national service network composed of existing full service restoration industry specialists.  Since the launch of the TSN, the Company has recruited and entered into licensing agreements with 23 geographically and strategically placed companies that will become network hubs to take advantage of the of the Company’s SteraMistTM platform of products and assist as service providers for the Company’s domestic and international client base and provide regional, national, and international large event mobilization response.  The current TSN members signed through September 30, 2015 were granted protected territories, exclusive network pricing and job referrals as well as many other service related benefits.  The TSN licensing agreements provides for a purchase of certain amounts of SteraMistTM equipment and minimum annual orders of solution based on the population of the territories granted for the licensing agreements.  The licensing agreements also provide for required training and marketing fees billed to the TSN members based on services provided by the Company.  The term of the licensing agreement is for two years (http://www.tomiservicenetwork.com).

In addition, the Company hired a Director of the TSN and a Director of Business Development for the TSN in October of 2015 to facilitate anticipated growth of the TSN.

In April of 2015, the Company accepted an invitation from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and USAID to present at the “innovation on the edge: Accelerating Solutions in the Fight Against Ebola” discussion at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in Washington DC.

In May 2015, the Company was awarded a grant by the United States Agency for International Development (“USAID”) in the amount of $559,000 for the development of SteraMistTM Mobile Decontamination Chambers to fight Ebola..  The grant is based on milestones set forth on the agreement between the Company and USAID. The Company completed the first two milestones during the third quarter of 2015 and received gross proceeds from the grant of approximately $348,000.  In addition, during the third quarter of the 2015, the Company shipped the SteraMistTM Mobile Decontamination Chambers to Africa to complete the remaining milestones as part of the grant.  We anticipate additional milestones will be achieved in the fourth quarter of 2015.

In June of 2015, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) registered the Company’s patented Binary Ionization Technology as a two stage rapid disinfection system for use as a healthcare-hospital disinfectant (EPA registration 90150-2).
In June and July of 2015, the Company received an equity investment of $8,000,000 from Arise Asset Management Limited (“Arise”).  $5,000,000 of the investment was received in June of 2015 and the remaining $3,000,000 was received in July of 2015.

In June of 2015, the Company retired the $5,074,000 in outstanding convertible debt with $1,300,000 of the notes repaid in the form of cash and $3,774,000 of the notes converted into shares of the Company’s stock.

25

 

·
Increase in sales of approximately $502,000 and the overall gross profit of approximately $290,000;
·
Reduction in equity based compensation of approximately $934,000;
·
Reduction in amortization of deferred financing costs of approximately $86,000;
·
Reduction in amortization of debt discount of approximately $272,000;

Sales

During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we had net revenue of approximately $1,017,000 and $515,000, respectively, representing an increase in revenue of $502,000 or 97%. The primary reason for the increase in revenue was attributable mainly to the Company expanding into new markets, having sufficient supply of product to fill orders, as well as diversifying our client base.

Cost of Sales

During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we had cost of sales of approximately $399,000 and $188,000, respectively, representing an increase of $211,000 or 112%.  The primary reason for the increase in cost of sales was due to sales increasing during the three months ended September 30, 2015 versus the same period in the prior year.  Our gross profit margins were consistent with what the Company experienced in the same period in the prior year.

Professional Fees

Professional fees for the three months ended September 30, 2015 totaled approximately $179,000 as compared to $89,000 during the same quarter in the prior year representing an increase of approximately $90,000 or 100%.  Professional fees are mainly comprised of legal, accounting and financial consulting fees during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

We have ramped up sales and marketing in the current period and expect these costs to increase in future periods.

Research & Development

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 totaled approximately $33,000 as compared to $30,000 for the same period in 2014.  Research and development expenses mainly include costs incurred in generating and supporting research on improving, extending and applying our patents in the field of mechanical cleaning and decontamination.  We expect significant increases in this area for the fourth quarter and going forward.

Consulting fees for the three months ended September 30, 2015 totaled approximately $42,000 as compared to $44,000 during the same quarter in the prior year representing a decrease of approximately $2,000 or 5%.

Equity Compensation Expense

Equity compensation expense represents non-cash charges for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and was approximately $109,000 as compared to $1,043,000 for the same period in 2014.  Equity compensation expense is incurred upon the issuance of warrants.  On the date of a grant, we determine the fair value of the stock option award and
 
 
26

 
 
recognize 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 Method option-pricing model.  The decrease in equity compensation is primarily due to the immediate vesting of warrants of two executive officers of the Company upon their resignation in September of 2014.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expenses include salaries and payroll taxes, rent, insurance expense, and office expenses.  General and administrative expenses were approximately $537,000 and $313,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, representing an increase of $224,000 or 72%.  The primary reason for the increase in General and administrative expenses can be attributed mainly to higher salaries and wages due to new hires during the current period and stock bonuses issued to executives in the third quarter.

Other Income and Expense

Amortization of deferred financing costs was approximately $0 and $86,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  This represents the amortization of costs incurred to raise capital in relation to the acquisition of the SteraMistTM line of products from L-3 and were fully amortized in the second quarter of 2015 upon retiring the convertible notes.

Amortization of debt discount was approximately $0 and $272,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, representing the charges related to the amortization of debt discount on our $5,074,000 in convertible notes issued in 2013.  The debt discount was amortized over the life of the notes utilizing the effective interest method.

The fair value adjustment of the derivative liability during the three months ended September 30, 2015, amounted to approximately $0 in the current period versus a gain of $654,000 in the prior period.  Upon the retirement of the convertible notes in the second quarter of 2015, the derivative liability was reclassified to additional paid in capital.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $0 and 127,000, respectively.  This represented the interest due on the $5,074,000 in convertible notes issued in 2013 in connection with the acquisition of the SteraMistTM line of products from L-3 that were retired in the second quarter of 2015.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
We have established a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls have also designed with the objective of ensuring that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We believe our disclosure controls and internal controls are effective for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
 
We do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors or all instances of fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
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, within 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 error or mistake. Because of the inherent limitation of a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. We did not implement any changes in controls during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
