FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this
“Form 10-Q”) contains “forward-looking
statements” within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), and we intend that such forward looking statements be
subject to the safe harbors created thereby. For this purpose, any
statements contained in this Form 10-Q, except for historical
information, may be deemed forward-looking
statements. You can
generally identify forward-looking statements as statements
containing the words “will,” “would,”
“believe,” “expect,”
“estimate,” “anticipate,”
“intend,” “estimate,” “assume,”
“can,” “could,” “plan,”
“predict,” “should” or the negative or
other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements
that refer to projections of our future financial performance,
trends in our businesses, or other characterizations of future
events or circumstances are forward-looking
statements.
The
forward-looking statements included herein are based on current
expectations of our management based on available information and
involve a number of risks and uncertainties, all of which are
difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are
beyond our control. As such, 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” in
our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Readers should
carefully review these risks, as well as the additional risks
described in other documents we file from time to time with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. In light of the significant
risks and uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information
included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be
regarded as a representation by us or any other person that such
results will be achieved, and readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on such forward-looking information. Except as
required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise the
forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events or
circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.

TOMI
ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

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
financial 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, 2018 and
notes thereto which are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K
previously filed with the SEC on April 1, 2019. The Company follows
the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.
The results of operations for the interim periods covered by this
Form 10-Q may not necessarily be indicative of results of
operations for the full fiscal year or any other interim
period.
The
Company's convertible notes payable aggregating $5,000,000
principal (see Note 8) are due April 3, 2020. As a result, the
Company has a working capital deficiency of $880,271 at September
30, 2019 and does not currently have sufficient resources to
satisfy this debt when due. This raises substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company plans
to raise additional capital in order to satisfy this debt when
due.
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or
classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and
classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company
be unable to continue as a going concern.
9
Principles of Consolidation
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of TOMI and its wholly owned subsidiary, TOMI
Environmental Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation. 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 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 accounts receivable, inventory, 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:
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.
|
Our
financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and convertible
debt. 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. The recorded
value of convertible debt approximates its fair value as the terms
and rates approximate market rates (See Note 8).
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. At times, these deposits may be in excess
of insured limits.
10
Accounts Receivable
Our
accounts receivable are credit worthy customers or, for certain
international customers, are supported by pre-payments. For those
customers to whom we extend credit, we perform periodic evaluations
of them and maintain allowances for potential credit losses as
deemed necessary. We have a policy of reserving for doubtful
accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of potential
credit losses in existing accounts receivable. We periodically
review our accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is
necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other
factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be
in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged
to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted
and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Bad debt
expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was
approximately $1,000 and $33,000, respectively. Bad debt expense
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was
approximately $0 and $64,000, respectively.
At
September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the allowance for
doubtful accounts was $110,000 and $300,000,
respectively.
As of September 30, 2019, two customers accounted for 22% of
accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2018, two customers
accounted for 37% of accounts receivable.
One customer accounted
for 12% and 32% of net revenue for the three
months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018,
respectively.
One customer accounted
for 10% and 16% of net revenue for the nine
months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018,
respectively.
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.
We
expense costs to maintain certification to cost of goods sold as
incurred.
We
review inventory on an ongoing basis, considering factors such as
deterioration and obsolescence. We record an allowance for
estimated losses when the facts and circumstances indicate that
particular inventories may not be usable. Our reserve for obsolete
inventory was $100,000 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31,
2018.
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.
Leases
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (“ASC
842”), Leases, to
require lessees to recognize all leases, with certain exceptions,
on the balance sheet, while recognition on the statement of
operations will remain similar to current lease accounting.
Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842,
Leases, ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, ASU No. 2018-20,
Narrow-Scope Improvements for
Lessors, and ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements, to clarify
and amend the guidance in ASU No. 2016-02. ASC 842 eliminates real
estate-specific provisions and modifies certain aspects of lessor
accounting. This standard is effective for interim and annual
periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption
permitted. We adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019 using the
modified retrospective basis with a cumulative effect adjustment as
of that date. In addition, we elected the package of practical
expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new
standard, which allowed us to carry forward the historical
determination of contracts as leases, lease classification and not
reassess initial direct costs for historical lease arrangements.
Accordingly, previously reported financial statements, including
footnote disclosures, have not been recast to reflect the
application of the new standard to all comparative periods
presented.
11
Operating lease
assets are included within operating lease right-of-use assets, and
the corresponding operating lease liabilities are recorded as
current portion of long-term operating lease, and within long-term
liabilities as long-term operating lease, net of current portion on
our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30,
2019.
We have
elected not to present short-term leases on the consolidated
balance sheet as these leases have a lease term of 12 months or
less at lease inception and do not contain purchase options or
renewal terms that we are reasonably certain to exercise. All other
lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the
present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement
date. Because most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate of
return, we used our incremental borrowing rate based on the
information available at adoption date in determining the present
value of lease payments.
Adoption of the new
lease standard on January 1, 2019 had a material impact on our
interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The
most significant impacts related to the recognition of right-of-use
("ROU") asset of $714,421 and lease liability of $678,556 for our
operating lease on the consolidated balance sheet. We also
reclassified prepaid expenses of $35,865 and deferred rent balance,
including tenant improvement allowances, and other liability
balances of $414,949 relating to our existing lease arrangements as
of December 31, 2018, into the ROU asset balance as of January 1,
2019. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for
the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to
make lease payments arising from the lease. The standard did not
materially impact our consolidated statement of operations and
consolidated statement of cash flows.
The
cumulative effect of the changes made to our consolidated balance
sheet as of January 1, 2019 for the adoption of the new lease
standard was as follows:

Capitalized Software Development Costs
In
accordance with ASC 985-20 regarding the development of software to
be sold, leased, or marketed, the Company expenses such costs as
they are incurred until technological feasibility has been
established, at and after which time those costs are capitalized
until the product is available for general release to customers.
The periodic expense for the amortization of capitalized software
development costs will be included in cost of sales. Amortization
expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was
$6,285.
12
Accounts
Payable
As of September 30, 2019, two vendors accounted for approximately
27% of accounts payable. As of December 31, 2018, three vendors
accounted for approximately 63% of accounts payable.
For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, one vendor
accounted for 54% and 68% of cost of sales, respectively. For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, one vendor
accounted for 80% and 76% of cost of sales,
respectively.
Accrued Warranties
Accrued
warranties represent the estimated costs, if any, that will be
incurred during the warranty period of our products. We estimate
the expected costs to be incurred during the warranty period and
record the expense to the consolidated statement of operations at
the date of sale. Our manufacturer assumes the warranty against
product defects for one year from date of sale, which we extend to
our customers upon sale of the product. We assume responsibility
for product reliability and results. As of September 30, 2019 and
December 31, 2018, our warranty reserve was $30,000 (See Note
13).
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 that are, on a more
likely than not basis, not expected to be realized in accordance
with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) guidance
for income taxes. Net deferred tax benefits have been fully
reserved at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. 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.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic
net loss per share is computed by dividing the Company’s net
loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period presented. Diluted loss per share is
based on the treasury stock method and includes the effect from
potential issuance of shares of common stock, such as shares
issuable pursuant to the exercise of options and warrants and
conversions of preferred stock or debentures.
Potentially
dilutive securities as of September
30, 2019 consisted of 9,259,250 shares of common stock from
convertible debentures, 21,340,523 shares of common stock issuable
upon exercise of outstanding warrants, 620,000 shares of common
stock issuable upon outstanding options and 510,000 shares of
common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding shares of
Preferred A stock (“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, 2018 consisted of 9,814,805
shares of common stock from convertible debentures, 26,375,611
shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding
warrants, 320,000 shares of common stock issuable upon outstanding
options and 510,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion
of outstanding shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock.
Diluted and basic weighted average shares are the same, as
potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive.
Diluted
net loss per share is computed similarly to basic net loss per
share except that the denominator is increased to include the
number of additional shares of common stock that would have been
outstanding if the potential shares of common stock had been issued
and if such additional shares were dilutive. Options, warrants,
preferred stock and shares associated with the conversion of debt
to purchase approximately 31.7 million and 36.6 million shares of
common stock were outstanding at September 30, 2019 and December
31, 2018, respectively, but were excluded from the computation of
diluted net loss per share due to the anti-dilutive effect on net
loss per share.

Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting
Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09,
Revenue from
Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), when there is persuasive evidence that an
arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed, delivery
has occurred, or the services have been rendered, the sales price
is fixed or determinable and collection of the related receivable
is reasonably assured. Title and risk of loss generally
pass to our customers upon shipment.

Product
revenue includes sales from our standard and customized equipment,
solution and accessories sold with our equipment. Revenue is
recognized upon transfer of control of promised products to
customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to
receive in exchange for those products or services.
Service
and training revenue include sales from our high-level
decontamination and service engagements, validation of our
equipment and technology and customer training. Service revenue is
recognized as the agreed upon services are rendered to our
customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to
receive in exchange for those services.
Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer
We
apply a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs
to obtain a contract with a customer when the amortization period
would have been one year or less. We generally expense sales
commissions when incurred because the amortization period would
have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling
expenses.
15
Contract Balances
As of
September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018 we did not have any
unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an
original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for
which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right
to invoice for services performed.
Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations
Our
contracts with customers may include multiple performance
obligations. We enter into contracts that can include various
combinations of products and services, which are primarily distinct
and accounted for as separate performance obligations.
Significant Judgments
Our
contracts with customers for products and services often dictate
the terms and conditions of when the control of the promised
products or services is transferred to the customer and the amount
of consideration to be received in exchange for the products and
services.
Equity Compensation Expense
We
account for equity compensation expense using the Black Scholes
model in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Compensation Stock
Compensation.” Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, equity
compensation expense is estimated at the grant date based on the
award’s fair value.
On July
7, 2017, our shareholders approved the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan
(the “2016 Plan”). The 2016 Plan authorizes the grant
of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock,
restricted stock units and performance units/shares. Up to
5,000,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under
the 2016 Plan. Shares issued under the 2016 Plan may be either
authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or any combination
thereof. Provisions in the 2016 Plan permit the reuse or reissuance
by the 2016 Plan of shares of common stock for numerous reasons,
including, but not limited to, shares of common stock underlying
canceled, expired, or forfeited awards of stock-based compensation
and stock appreciation rights paid out in the form of cash. Equity
compensation expense will typically be awarded in consideration for
the future performance of services to us. All recipients of awards
under the 2016 Plan are required to enter into award agreements
with the Company at the time of the award; awards under the 2016
Plan are expressly conditioned upon such agreements. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we issued 400,000 and
300,000 shares of common stock, respectively, out of the 2016
Plan.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject us to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash
equivalents. We maintain cash balances at financial institutions
which exceed the current Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
limit of $250,000 at times during the year.
Long-Lived Assets Including Acquired Intangible Assets
We
assess 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, we
measure recoverability of these assets by comparing the carrying
amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are
expected to generate. If our 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. We base the calculations of the estimated fair value of our
long-lived assets on the income approach. For the income approach,
we use an internally developed discounted cash flow model that
includes, 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 had no long-lived asset
impairment charges for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2019 and 2018.
16
Advertising and Promotional Expenses
We
expense advertising costs in the period in which they are incurred.
Advertising and promotional expenses
included in selling expenses for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2019 were approximately $29,000 and $94,000,
respectively. Advertising and promotional expenses included in
selling expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2018 were approximately $44,000 and $156,000,
respectively.
Research and Development Expenses
We expense research and
development expenses in the period in which they are
incurred. For the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2019, research and development
expenses were approximately $88,000 and $249,000, respectively. For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, research and
development expenses were approximately $130,000 and $372,000,
respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs
We include shipping and
handling costs relating to the delivery of products directly from
vendors to the Company in cost of sales. Other shipping and

for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,
respectively. Shipping and handling costs included in general
and administrative expense were approximately $52,000 and $143,000
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,
respectively.
Business Segments
We
currently have one reportable business segment due to the fact that
we derive our revenue primarily from one product. A breakdown of
revenue is presented in “Revenue Recognition” in Note 2
above.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill
Impairment, to simplify the test for goodwill impairment
by removing Step 2. An
entity will, therefore, perform the goodwill impairment test by
comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying
amount, recognizing an
impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount
exceeds the fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill
allocated to the reporting unit. An entity still
has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if
the quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU No. 2017-04 is
effective for interim
and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early
adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests
performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Adoption of ASU
No. 2017-04 is prospective.

NOTE 6. LEASES
In
April 2018, we entered into a 10-year lease agreement for a new
9,000-square-foot facility that contains office, warehouse, lab and
research and development space in Frederick, Maryland. The lease
agreement was scheduled to commence on December 1, 2018 or when the
property was ready for occupancy. The agreement provided for annual
rent of $143,460, an escalation clause that increases the rent 3%
year over year, a landlord tenant improvement allowance of $405,000
and additional landlord work as discussed in the lease agreement.
We took occupancy of the property on December 17, 2018 and the
lease was amended in March 2019 to provide for a 4-month rent
holiday and a commencement date of April 1, 2019. Lease expense for
operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis
over the lease term.

NOTE 8. CONVERTIBLE DEBT
In
March and May 2017, we closed a private placement transaction in
which we issued to certain accredited investors unregistered senior
callable convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) and
three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 999,998 shares of
common stock at an exercise price of $0.69 per share in exchange
for aggregate gross proceeds of $6,000,000. The Notes bear interest
at a rate of 4% per annum. $5,300,000 in principal was originally
scheduled to mature on August 31, 2018 and $700,000 in principal
was originally scheduled to mature on November 8, 2018, unless
earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. The Notes are
convertible at the option of the holder into common stock at a
conversion price of $0.54 per share. Subsequent to September 1,
2017, we may redeem the Notes that are scheduled to mature on
August 31, 2018 at any time prior to maturity at a price equal to
100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes to be
redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the redemption
date. Prior to November 8, 2018, we may redeem the Notes that
are scheduled to mature on such date at any time prior to maturity
at a price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the
Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the
redemption date. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in
cash on February 28 and August 31 of each year, beginning on August
31, 2017. Interest expense related to
the Notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019
was $50,000 and $150,000, respectively. Interest expense
related to the Notes for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2018 was $53,000 and $168,878,
respectively.
The
warrants were valued at $62,559 using the Black-Scholes pricing
model with the following assumptions: expected volatility: 104.06%
–111.54%; expected dividend: $0; expected term: 3 years; and
risk-free rate: 1.49%–1.59%. We recorded the warrants’
relative fair value of $61,904 as an increase to additional paid-in
capital and a discount against the related Notes.
The
debt discount was amortized over the life of the Notes using the
effective interest method. Amortization expense for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2019 was $0 and $17,534, respectively.
Amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2018 was $7,851 and $23,792, respectively.
In February and March 2018, we extended the
maturity date of the Notes— we
extended the maturity date to April 1, 2019 for $5,300,000 of
principal on the Notes and to June 8, 2019 for the remaining
$700,000 Note. No additional consideration was paid or accrued by
us. The stated rate of the Notes was unchanged, and the estimated
fair value of the new debt approximates its carrying amount
(principal plus accrued interest at the date of the modification).
We determined that the modification of these Notes is not a
substantial modification in accordance with ASC 470-50,
“Modifications and
Extinguishments”.
In May 2018, we offered
a noteholder the option to convert its Note at a reduced
conversion price of $0.46. The
noteholder accepted and converted at such price. Pursuant to the terms
of the conversion offer, an aggregate of $700,000 of
principal
and $5,212 of accrued interest outstanding under the
Note were converted into 1,877,960 shares of common
stock. We recognized an induced conversion cost of
$57,201 related to the conversion.
21
In December 2018, a
noteholder redeemed a note with a principal balance of $300,000 in
exchange for $150,000 in cash. We recognized a gain on redemption of convertible
note income in the amount of $150,000 as a result of the
transaction.
On
March 30, 2019, the two-remaining noteholders agreed to extend the
maturity dates of their notes totaling $5,000,000 to April 3, 2020.
As part of the extensions, we agreed that if we do not make payment
on or before the new maturity dates, after five (5) days written
notice, the holders will have the right, but not the obligation, to
convert the notes into our common shares at a conversion price of
$0.11 per share or a total of 45,454,545 shares. All other
provisions of the notes remain unchanged. We determined that the
modification of these Notes is not a substantial modification in
accordance with ASC 470-50, “Modifications and
Extinguishments”. At September 30, 2019, the convertible
notes payable with a maturity of April 3, 2020 is classified as a
current liability on our balance sheet.

Overview
TOMI
Environmental Solutions, Inc. (“TOMI”, “we”
and “our”) is a global provider of disinfection and
decontamination essentials through our premier Binary Ionization
Technology®
(BIT™)
platform, under which we manufacture, license, service and sell our
SteraMist® brand of
products, including SteraMist® BIT™, a hydrogen
peroxide-based fog or mist.
TOMI’s SteraMist is a patented technology
that produces ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (iHP™)
using plasma science invented by the United States Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA). TOMI’s EPA registered
BIT™
Solution is composed of a low
concentration of hydrogen peroxide and converts it to
iHP™
after passing the trade secret blended
solution including its sole active ingredient of 7.8% hydrogen
peroxide through an atmospheric cold plasma arc. The newly formed
iHP™
fog and mist consists of
submicron’s to 3 micron radical particles that are carried
throughout the treatment area in a fog or mist moving with the same
velocity and characteristics of a gas. This allows the fog or mist
to affect all surfaces and space throughout the targeted treatment
area, over, above and beyond the ability of a manual cleaning
processes. iHP™
damages pathogenic organisms through
oxidation of proteins, carbohydrates, and
lipids. SteraMist®
disinfection/decontamination
mechanical clean in the treated area
occur by cellular disruptions and/or dysfunctions resulting in a
6-log (99.9999%) and greater kill of all pathogens in the treatment
area.
SteraMist®
Binary Ionization Technology®
allows a facility to have a Hospital-HealthCare EPA registered tool
and solution to replace manual cleaning technology, upgrade
existing protocols, and limit liability in a facility when it comes
to resistant infectious pathogens. SteraMist®
BIT™
is the first EPA registered solution and system combination on the
market. BIT™
is also listed on EPA’s List G,
L, K, and M for Norovirus, C. diff, Ebola, and Influenza,
respectively. TOMI maintains this registration in 50
states, Canada, and approximately 20 other
countries.
Markets
TOMI’s
SteraMist®
products are designed to address a panoply of industries using
iHP™. Our
operations are organized into four main divisions based on our
current target industries: Hospital-Healthcare, Life Sciences, TOMI
Service Network (TSN) and Food Safety.
Products
We
continue to offer our customers a wide range of innovative products
designed to be easily incorporated into their existing disinfection
and decontamination procedures. In addition, we offer equipment
installations, iHP® Service
(routine & emergency), validations and qualifications, and
onsite performance maintenance requests - all of which are
structured to address the disinfection and decontamination needs of
our customers worldwide.
29
Divisions
Hospital-Healthcare
TOMI’s
hospital-healthcare customer list expands with the close of every
quarter. TOMI’s E-Z SteraMist® Disinfection
Cart, an all-in-one cart that houses our handheld point-and-spray
SteraMist® Surface Unit as
well as accompanying supplies, has increased interest in our
technology for this division. This product is designed to make the
terminal cleaning process of patient rooms more efficient than
traditional manual cleaning methods and since its release four (4)
new hospitals have purchased and are utilizing the product. We
believe that our E-Z SteraMist® Disinfection
Cart will allow our customers within the Hospital-Healthcare
industry to address the growing concern regarding the increasing
high level of transference of pathogens including multiple drug
resistant organisms (MDRO’s) leading to HAI’s from
hospital and healthcare related environmental surfaces and
equipment to patients and healthcare workers. TOMI's SteraMist
55-minute terminal clean protocol includes incorporating most
stages of a facility’s current cleaning protocol and by just
adding SteraMist mechanical clean protocol, allows an average
90-minute manual clean protocol to be reduced to 55-minutes,
as
confirmed by the Shield Study at UCLA, from beginning to
end, including the changing of the bed linens, demonstrating
remarkable results in our clients' facilities from coast to
coast.
Life Sciences
TOMI’s
SteraMist®. Environment
System, iHP Decontamination Complete Room, SteraMist® Select Surface
Unit, iHP™ implementation
to decontamination chambers and cage washers, and our
iHP®
Service Division, are designed to provide a complete room solution
to address the regulatory inspections of
disinfecting/decontaminating and Installation Qualification
(IQ)-Operational Qualification (OQ)-Performance Qualification (PQ)
validation processes within the
life sciences industry.
TOMI Service Network
TSN is
our network comprised of outside professionals who are exclusively
licensed and trained to use the SteraMist® products. TSN
sells, trains and services professional remediation companies in
the use of SteraMist®. These
companies specialize in mold abatement, water damage (including
damage from CAT 1 though 3 water loss) and fire damage, as well as
professional specialists that are certified and practice in the
area of forensic restoration. Currently, TSN is comprised of
companies throughout the United States and Canada. TSN members use
SteraMist® as a standalone
service as well as incorporating our products into their existing
business models. We derive a continuous revenue stream from our TSN
customers through recurring purchases of our BIT™
solution.
Our TSN
network continues to grow and currently the total number of TSN
provider contracts fully executed to date is ninety-three (93)
expanding our network membership across 35 U.S. States and two (2)
Canadian provinces. Our service providers, with approximately
160 SteraMist® with BIT
technology units in the field, allows for rapid deployment for use
in the control of a biological outbreak and border security
nationally and internationally upon short notice.
Food Safety
Food
Safety is one of our newest and potentially largest targeted
markets, as we believe it presents an opportunity for substantial
growth. This is in light of the implementation and enforcement of
new and existing rules in the United States under the FDA Food
Safety Modernization Act and in Canada under the Safe Food for
Canadians Act and the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations, the
latter two of which became effective in January 2019. This is in
part due to the increased focus on concerns within the food safety
industry in North America and abroad. Our consultants have
submitted to the regulatory bodies a request to expand our current
labels from the treatment of food processing machinery, restaurants
and food contact areas, to include direct food and crop
applications using a 1% acceptable concentration of hydrogen
peroxide that is already approved for direct food use by the USDA
and EPA.
We
intend to target the following segments, with an initial emphasis
on the profitable organic market:
●
Growing
crops
●
Seeds
●
Packaging
facilities
●
Food storage
(produce, meats, fish)
●
Food transportation
vehicles
●
Food processing
plants
●
Grocery
stores
●
Cannabis labs,
grow-houses, extraction facilities and retail shops
30
In each
area, our main objective is to prevent and/or minimize food decay
without utilizing harsh chemicals that leave toxic residues. This
could create an opportunity to supplement, or replace, current
pesticides and fungicides currently being used by these industry
leaders.
Business Highlights and Recent Events
Customers:
We have
added nineteen (19) new customers across all our divisions in the
third quarter of 2019. This represents a fifty-eight (58%) percent
increase over the same quarter in 2018.
We
added four (4) new
facilities in the hospital-healthcare division in third quarter of
2019. Through September 30, 2019, we have added ten (10) new
hospital-healthcare facilities which represents 100% increase
compared to the same prior year period.
Our
Life Sciences customer base showed continued growth in the third
quarter of 2019. We added eleven (11) new customers.
During
the third quarter 2019, we added two (2) new Food Safety customers
who purchased and implemented our SteraMist technology into their
facilities.
Revenues:
The
hospital-healthcare division showed a 27% increase in revenue in
the third quarter of 2019 when compared to the same quarter last
year, and a 60% percent increase in revenue for the nine months
ended September 30, 2019 when compared to the same prior year
period.
In the
second quarter 2019, we sold mobile equipment of over $400,000 to
the Kansas Department of Health in the United States, and in the
third quarter we successfully trained six Kansas Department of
Health locations on the use of SteraMist for the control of a
microbial outbreak, including pandemic preparedness throughout
Kansas.
Our
overall revenue generated from our Life Sciences division declined
in the third quarter of 2019 when compared to the same period in
2018, which was primarily due to one large order for a custom
built-in unit for over $600,000 in the third quarter of 2018. The
overall decline was offset by growth in our revenue generated
mobile equipment which grew in the third quarter 2019 when compared
to the same prior year period.
In
August 2019, we received an order for our seventh (7th)
SteraMist® custom
engineered system. This will be the second permanent room system
for installation into our UK based customer’s
facility.
In July
2019, we announced the implementation of SteraMist® iHP™
Plasma Decontamination Chamber at the University of Houston and a
partnership with Lynx Product Group.
The TSN
network continues to expand the use of our SteraMist technology and
our solution revenue generated from our TSN division during the
third quarter of 2019 grew by 8% when compared to the same period
in 2018.
Our
revenue from international customers increased by 60% during the
third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The
increase in revenue was attributable to a large purchase from our
distributor in Israel and strong recurring solution orders from our
existing customers in Europe, Singapore and South
Korea.
During
the third quarter of 2019, we recorded record iHP service-based
revenue in the amount of $672,000 which translated into 101% growth
when compared to the same prior year period. We also reached a
major milestone with our service revenue eclipsing $1,000,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
31
Service Projects:
In
September 2019, we were engaged by Los Angeles County – USC
(LAC + USC) Medical Center to remediate Aspergillus mold that had
appeared within a critical sterilization area of the
facility.
In
August 2019, we were awarded a service project with a niche
pharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures and markets
generic and branded prescription pharmaceuticals as well as animal
and consumer health products with a focus on injectables. The iHP
Service team treated the 170,000 cubic foot space, including
classified and non-classified areas.
In
April 2019, we entered into an exclusive distribution agreement
with an Israeli company, Cleancor Technologies Ltd. ("Cleancor"),
an advanced solution company for the industrial cleaning and repair
of water and fire damages. Cleancor has already diversified and
started a subsidiary named Clean Bit Environmental Solutions and
has begun implementing marketing strategies resulting in a robust
pipeline in the health care, food industry, defense, and medical
cannabis verticals.
Events:
We
exhibited at the annual conference of the Association of
Professionals in Infection Control (APIC) with our new booth
creating the largest presence we have had at a tradeshow. The E-Z
SteraMist Cart was on display as well as multiple educational
presentations to infection preventionists. The show provided many
valuable leads and our new exhibit received considerable praise.
This presence added two new hospital clients in the third quarter
and three already in the fourth quarter.
We
exhibited at our first veterinary conference, brining on our first
animal hospital customer in the third quarter, demonstrating the
versatility and ever-expanding verticals SteraMist disinfection
technology may be implemented in.
Certifications:
As we
reported earlier in the year, we added compounding pharmacy
customers; which are FDA 503B outsourcing facilities that meet all
rigorous national standards with quality sterile products. The FDA
created this new designation of compounding pharmacy to establish a
new level of patient care and safety, and these facilities must
comply with strict cGMP (current good manufacturing practices)
guidelines, which is the same standard that pharmaceutical
manufacturers follow. We have continued to add new pharmacy
customers in the third quarter of 2019. With the addition of the
two new pharmacy customers in the third quarter of 2019 we now have
four compounding pharmacy customers.
Earlier
this year we were audited by Pfizer Global Supply Manufacturing and
Supplier Quality Assessments and were reported to be
“Acceptable”, allowing us to continue expanding
SteraMist® implementation into Pfizer facilities. Our
management has further focused and allocated resources towards
expanding quality control procedures and protocols based on
recommendations received during the audit. Pfizer approved a press
release of how SteraMist is being used in multiple facilities
across the United States as a result of passing the Pfizer Global
Supply Agreement Audit. In the third quarter we fulfilled new
orders and finalized a new piece of custom commercial research
laboratory equipment for Pfizer utilizing our BIT technology
platform.
Research Studies & Product Development
We
continue to participate in a large multi-year federal funded study,
known as the “SHIELD study”, that compares hospital
manual cleans to a SteraMist® mechanical
clean. Preliminary results collected by the current hospitals in
the study is showing a decrease in the transference of pathogens
resulting in HAIs and C. difficile infections in the rooms that
used SteraMist® for their
terminal clean, as compared to the rooms that have been manually
cleaned. The University of Michigan, a recognized teaching
university hospital, will be joining the California hospitals in
this Shield Study in the fourth quarter, allowing for additional
collection of data to validate the value of SteraMist technology in
hospitals.
32
We have
added three new products to our growing line of
products:
●
A single
applicator build-in unit for decontamination chambers and cage
washers, which was recently successfully validated at the
University of Houston.
●
A decontamination
cart for a Pfizer facility. We will be designing and engineering a
second SteraMist mobile decontamination cart for this same facility
by the second quarter of next year.
●
A stainless-steel
mobile 90-degree applicator and
the answer to the mobile treatment and decontamination of BSC
cabinets and isolators. The 90-degree applicator product has led to
a partnership with a large design and manufacturing company of
washing and contamination control systems and we plan on installing
an all-in-one disinfection solution to Gnotobiotic Housings with
such partner.
At the
annual meeting of the American Association for Laboratory Animal
Science ("AALAS") this October in Denver, the University of Iowa
and Iowa State University presented a study about our technology
and the effect of iHP on pinworms. Members of the University of
Iowa and Iowa State University were available in the poster section
of the conference and answered questions from the many AALAS
members about our excellent results. A published paper will be
shortly released in a major scientific journal.
In
2019, we have also focused on improving our SteraMist Environment
System and the development of our own proprietary software that
will be integrated into the next generation of SteraMist equipment,
both mobile and permanent. The new software will improve
communication between our equipment and the end user’s
system, provide improved reporting results and simplify the overall
usage of the system itself. During the first quarter of 2019, we
reached feasibility with the software being developed. We are now
in the final testing and validation phase of the new Environment
System prototype, prior to leading to mass
commercialization.
The
United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) submitted another
paper for publication titled “Cold Plasma Enhances the
Efficacy of ionized Hydrogen Peroxide in Reducing Populations of
Salmonella Typhimurium and
Listeria innocua on Grape
Tomatoes, Apples, Cantaloupe and Romaine Lettuce” In July
2019, the author presented the paper, and a poster was shown at the
International Association of Food Protection (IAFP). This was a
successful introduction of SteraMist to this audience and many are
interested in further testing and research of the technology. The
poster and presentation focused on the urgent need of a
decontamination technology, such as SteraMist to enhance microbial
safety of fresh produce. Greater reductions were documented when
ionized hydrogen peroxide was passed through the plasma arc and
greater than 5 log reductions of Salmonella were achieved. We are
looking forward to the publication of this paper in a recognized
international food safety journal.
We are
in the design phase with our partner Arkema and their client (a
Global food storage and safety company) which consists of a new
engineered concept for the decontamination of large industrial food
warehouse facilities. The concept is a six (6) applicator fully
automated fogging system permanently mounted on a hydraulic lift
that is capable of coverage in such high-volume
spaces.
Registrations & Intellectual Property (IP):
In
February 2019, we added our Canadian label to the Organic Materials
Review Institute (“OMRI”) certifying that our product
meets the Canadian organic standards. On May 15, 2019, our
BIT solution
disinfectant was listed and certified with the OMRI in compliance
with the USDA National Organic Program. Thus, our product is now
listed as an OMRI Listed© product and
appears on the OMRI Products List© and the
OMRI Canada Products List©.
We have
been actively pursuing registration in mainland China. We
successfully passed the Chinese Center for Disease Control and
Prevention ("Chinese CDC") requirements for registration and have
hired a Chinese CDC consultant. In addition, we have strengthened
our intellectual property in the region, submitting trademarks and
patent registrations. We have identified a Chinese customer that we
expect will generate significant revenue in 2019. We successfully
passed all eighteen (18) testing measures required, including many
microbiological test. All of our toxicity studies demonstrated that
our BIT fog was classified as an actual non-toxic substance. In the
second quarter of 2019, we were made aware of the final materials
needed for the dossier that is required by the Chinese CDC for
registration of our product. The finalization of our dossier was
made in the third quarter of 2019, which included the successful
shipping and custom clearance to the region, and all the necessary
custom declaration forms have been certified and the pre-CDC
approval has been commented on by the Chinese CDC. We are waiting
for the final CDC stamps which is the last step in this three-year
long registration process. We expect the final stamped registration
to be received during the fourth quarter of 2019.
Our
90-degree surface mounted applicator device was allowed and
published in the Philippines. We have submitted this design patent
in multiple countries and expect the others to follow shortly in
publication. This additional design patent adds nicely to our other
design patents, including our permanent modular applicator,
decontamination cart, and our two decontamination
chambers.
33
In
August and September 2019, we published and filed two new utility
patents. We had previously reported in 2017 and 2018 the filing of
these two utility patents, and both the system claims
(US15/858,446) and the method claims (US16/127,915) were published
with the USPTO in the third quarter of 2019.
In
November 2019, we registered two new design patents entitled
"Surface Mounted Applicator Device" in Europe and
Japan.

Revenue
Sales
Our
revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was
approximately $1,600,000 and $1,948,000, respectively, representing
a decrease of approximately $348,000 or 18%, in the current year
period. The decrease in sales in the current year period was
attributable to a large custom equipment order that occurred in the
same prior year period. In the third quarter of 2019, we achieved a
record level of service revenue and solution orders from our
existing customer base. We continued to increase our customer base
and saw positive trends in our repeat orders for solution and
consumables by our growing customer base.
34
Our
products are early in the product and customer adoption cycle. We
continue to see strong reorders for solution from our existing
customers. The purchase of additional equipment is at a slower pace
due to the assessment and integration of our technology into our
customers' on-going operations. Our new customer pipeline is very
strong. As customers mature through the product and adoption cycle
and our sales pipeline converts to sale wins, we expect to have
more predictable sales quarter over quarter.

Cost of Sales
Cost of
sales was approximately $460,000 and $912,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of
$452,000, in the current year period. The primary reason for the
decrease is due to a large custom equipment order that occurred in
the same prior year period that carried a high cost and low gross
profit margin. In addition, the product mix in our sales for the
three months ended September 30, 2019 contributed to a higher gross
profit. Our gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three
months ended September 30, 2019 was 71.2% compared to 53.1% in the
same prior period.
Professional Fees
Professional fees
were approximately $83,000 and $79,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase of
approximately $4,000, or 5%, in the current year period.
Professional fees are comprised mainly of legal, accounting and
financial consulting fees.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and
amortization were approximately $183,000 and $154,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase
of $29,000, or 19%, in the current year period. The increase in
depreciation expense is attributable to additional property,
equipment and leasehold improvements acquired in 2018 and
2019.
35
Selling Expenses
Selling
expenses were approximately $314,000 and $369,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease
of $55,000, or 15%, in the current year period. We continue to
invest and allocate resources into our sales, marketing and
advertising initiatives and have increased efforts in the current
year in order to further develop our brand recognition and grow our
base of customers. The decline in selling expenses is primarily due
to our customer mix in sales and the related impact to commissions.
Selling expenses represent salaries and wages for sales
professionals, trade show fees, commissions, advertising and
marketing expenses.
Research and Development
Research and
development expenses were approximately $88,000 and $130,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a
decrease of $42,000, or 32%, in the current year period. The
primary reason for the decrease is attributable to the timing of
costs related to testing and studies that occurred in the same
prior period.
Equity Compensation Expense
Equity
compensation expense was $0 for the three months ended September
30, 2019 and 2018.
Consulting Fees
Consulting fees
were approximately $32,000 and $20,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2019 and 2018 respectively, representing an increase
of $12,000, or 60%, in the current period. The reason for the
increase in consulting fees in the current period is due to the
timing of certain projects that occurred in the third quarter of
2019 that did not occur in same prior year period.
General and Administrative Expense
General
and administrative expense was approximately $628,000 and $599,000
for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018,
respectively, an increase of $29,000, or 5%, in the current year
period. General and administrative expense includes salaries and
payroll taxes, rent, insurance expense, utilities, office expense
and product registration costs.
Other Income and Expense
Amortization of
debt discount was approximately $0 and $8,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Amortization of
debt discount for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and
2018, consists of the amortization of debt discount on the
$6,000,000 principal amount of Notes issued in March and May 2017.
The debt discount was amortized over the life of the Notes
utilizing the effective interest method.
Interest income was
approximately $1,000 and $2,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Interest expense
was approximately $50,000 and $53,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Interest expense for the
three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 consisted of the
interest incurred on the $6,000,000 principal amount of Notes
issued in March and May 2017.
Net Loss
Net
loss was approximately $237,000 and $373,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of
$136,000, or 36%, in the current year period. The primary reasons
for the decreased net loss are attributable to:
●
Higher gross profit
of approximately $105,000;
●
Lower operating
expenses of approximately $21,000; and
●
Lower other
expenses of approximately $10,000.

Cost of Sales
Cost of
sales was approximately $1,617,000 and $1,962,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease
of $345,000 or 18%, in the current year period. The primary reason
for the decrease is due to a large custom equipment order that
occurred in the same prior year period that carried a high cost and
low gross profit margin. Our gross profit as a percentage of
revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 64.0%
compared to 56.4% in the same prior period. The increase in gross
profit is attributable to the product mix in sales.
Professional Fees
Professional fees
were approximately $297,000 and $271,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase of
approximately $26,000, or 10%, in the current year period.
Professional fees are comprised mainly of legal, accounting and
financial consulting fees. The primary reason for the increase is
attributable to legal fees incurred in connection with advancing
our new trademarks and new utility patents on a domestic and
international basis.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and
amortization were approximately $539,000 and $469,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase
of approximately $70,000, or 15%, in the current year period. The
increase in depreciation expense is attributable to additional
property, equipment and leasehold improvements acquired in 2018 and
2019.
Selling Expenses
Selling
expenses were approximately $1,274,000 and $1,004,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase
of $270,000, or 27%, in the current year period. We continue to
invest and allocate resources into our sales, marketing and
advertising initiatives and have increased efforts in the current
year in order to further develop our brand recognition and grow our
base of customers. We are hoping to see positive results in our
revenue in the fourth quarter of the year directly related to the
onboarding of different national sales groups during the first half
of 2019. Our selling expenses increased in the current period as a
result of the following:
●
Higher salaries due
to increases in headcount in our sales department.
●
Onboarding and
training of new sales independent sales
representatives.
●
Customer mix in
sales and the related commissions impact.
●
Increased
tradeshows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to
the same prior year period which has contributed to growth in our
sales pipeline in all divisions
●
The acquisition of
a new high-tech 30x40 tradeshow booth
●
Continual
efforts in advertising within targeted publications, Google search
engine optimized campaigns, and organic brand
awareness.
●
Continued
investment in our Social Media presence across all platforms which
has shown growth in followers, impressions, and
engagements.
Selling
expenses represent selling salaries and wages, trade show fees,
commissions, advertising and marketing expenses.

Research and
development expenses were approximately $249,000 and $372,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a
decrease of $123,000, or 33%, in the current year period. The
primary reason for the decrease is attributable to the timing of
costs related to testing and studies that occurred in the same
prior period.
38
Equity Compensation Expense
Equity
compensation expense was approximately $87,000 and $13,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The
reason for the increase is attributable to warrants and options
issued to officers and employees in the current year
period.

Consulting fees
were approximately $87,000 and $93,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2019 and 2018, resepectively, representing a decrease
of $6,000 or 6%, in the current year period.
General and Administrative Expense
General
and administrative expense was approximately $1,932,000 and
$1,999,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018,
respectively, a decrease of $67,000, or 3%, in the current year
period. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is
primarily due to lower payroll costs and reduced bad debt expense.
General and administrative expense includes salaries and payroll
taxes, rent, insurance expense, utilities, office expense and
product registration costs.
Other Income and Expense
Amortization of
debt discount was approximately $18,000 and $24,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Amortization of debt discount for the nine months ended September
30, 2019 and 2018, consists of the amortization of debt discount on
the $6,000,000 principal amount of Notes issued in March and May
2017. The debt discount was amortized over the life of the Notes
utilizing the effective interest method.
Induced
conversion costs of approximately $57,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2018 were incurred in connection with conversion of
$700,000 convertible note payable.
Interest income was
approximately $2,000 and $5,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Interest expense
was approximately $150,000 and $169,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Interest expense for the

Net Loss
Net
loss was approximately $1,756,000 and 1,922,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of
$166,000, or 9%, in the current year period. The primary reasons
for the decreased net loss are attributable to:
●
Higher gross profit
of approximately $330,000;
●
Lower other
expenses of approximately $80,000, offset by.
●
Higher operating
expenses of approximately $244,000
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $1,144,000. Our working capital before consideration
of the convertible notes payable of $5,000,000 was $4,120,000.
Working capital after consideration of the convertible notes
payable was ($880,000). Our principal capital requirements
are to fund operations, invest in research and development and
capital equipment, and the continued costs of public company filing
requirements. We have historically funded our operations through
debt and equity financings.
In
March and May 2017, we raised gross proceeds of $6,000,000 through
a private placement of the Notes. We issued the Notes in two
tranches of $5,300,000 and $700,000, respectively, which originally
were scheduled to mature on August 31, 2018 and November 8, 2018,
respectively, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or
converted.
39
In 2018, a portion of Notes aggregating $1,000,000 principal were
either converted to equity or paid.
On
March 30, 2019, the remaining holders of the Notes agreed to extend
the maturity dates of their Notes with an aggregate principal
amount of $5,000,000 to April 3, 2020. As a result, the Company has
a working capital deficiency of $880,271 at September 30, 2019 and
does not currently have sufficient resources to satisfy this debt
when due. Accounting principles define this as raising doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company
plans to raise additional capital in order to satisfy this debt
when due.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we incurred losses
from operations of approximately $1,591,000 and $1,677,000,
respectively. The cash used in operations was approximately
$573,000 and $ 1,246,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018,
respectively.
Our revenues can fluctuate due to the following factors, among
others:
●
Ramp up and
expansion of our internal sales force and manufacturers’
representatives;
●
Length of our sales
cycle;
●
Expansion into new
territories and markets; and
●
Timing of orders
from distributors.
We
could incur additional operating losses and an increase of costs
related to the continuation of product and technology development
and administrative activities.
Management has
taken and will endeavor to continue to take a number of actions in
order to improve our results of operations and the related cash
flows generated from operations in order to strengthen our
financial position, including the following items:
●
Expanding our label
with the EPA to further our product registration
internationally;
●
Continued expansion
of our internal sales force and manufacturer representatives in an
effort to drive domestic revenue in all hospital-healthcare
verticals;
●
Continued expansion
of our internal sales force and manufacturer representatives in an
effort to drive global revenue in the life science
verticals;
●
Expansion of
international distributors; and
●
Continued growth of
TSN, our new Forensic Restoration FRST sub-division and new growth
in the food safety market which includes using SteraMist for
increasing the storage time of pre- and post-harvest produce, and
increasing transportation shelf life by installing SteraMist in
semitrucks and ships that are transporting food.
We
believe that our existing balance of cash and cash equivalents and
amounts expected to be provided by operations will provide us with
sufficient financial resources to meet our cash requirements for
operations, working capital and capital expenditures over the next
twelve months. We cannot make any
assurances that management’s strategies will be effective or
that any additional financing will be completed on a timely basis,
on acceptable terms or at all. Our inability to successfully
implement our strategies or to complete any other financing may
mean that we would have to significantly reduce costs and/or delay
projects, which would adversely affect our business, customers and
program development, and would adversely impact
us.
Until
such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue,
we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity
or debt financings. Sufficient funds may not be available to us at
all or on attractive terms when needed from these sources. To the
extent that we raise additional capital through the future sale of
equity or debt, the ownership interests of our stockholders will be
diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation
or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our
existing common stockholders. We may require additional capital
beyond our currently anticipated amounts.
40
Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities for
the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was approximately
$573,000 and $1,246,000, respectively. Cash used in operating
activities decreased approximately $673,000 compared to the prior
year period primarily as a result of the collection of accounts
receivable and the decline in inventory.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for
the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was approximately
$288,000 and $127,000, respectively. Cash used in investing
activities increased $161,000 compared to the prior year period
primarily due to software development costs and the acquisition of
fixed assets.
Financing Activities
Cash
used in financing activities for the nine months ended September
30, 2019 and 2018 were $0.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations is based upon our condensed 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 condensed 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.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with FASB ASU
No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers (Topic 606), when
there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, title and
risk of loss have passed, delivery has occurred, or the services
have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable and
collection of the related receivable is reasonably
assured. Title and risk of loss generally pass to our
customers upon shipment.
Disaggregation of Revenue
Product
revenue includes sales from our standard and customized equipment,
solution and accessories sold with our equipment. Revenue is
recognized upon transfer of control of promised products to
customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to
receive in exchange for those products or services.
Service
and training revenue include sales from our high-level
decontamination and service engagements, validation of our
equipment and technology and customer training. Service revenue is
recognized as the agreed upon services are rendered to our
customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to
receive in exchange for those services.
Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer
We
apply a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs
to obtain a contract with a customer when the amortization period
would have been one year or less. We generally expense sales
commissions when incurred because the amortization period would
have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling
expenses.
41
Contract Balances
As of
September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018 we did not have any
unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an
original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for
which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right
to invoice for services performed.
Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations
Our
contracts with customers may include multiple performance
obligations. We enter into contracts that can include various
combinations of products and services, which are primarily distinct
and accounted for as separate performance obligations.
Significant Judgments
Our
contracts with customers for products and services often dictate
the terms and conditions of when the control of the promised
products or services is transferred to the customer and the amount
of consideration to be received in exchange for the products and
services.
Fair Value Measurement
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.

Our
financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and convertible
debt. 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. The recorded
value of convertible debt approximates its fair value as the terms
and rates approximate market rates.
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. At times, these deposits may be in excess
of insured limits.
Accounts Receivable
Our
accounts receivable are credit worthy customers or, for certain
international customers, are supported by pre-payments. For those
customers to whom we extend credit, we perform periodic evaluations
of them and maintain allowances for potential credit losses as
deemed necessary. We have a policy of reserving for doubtful
accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of potential
credit losses in existing accounts receivable. We periodically
review our accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is
necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other
factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be
in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged
to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted
and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
42
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.
We
expense costs to maintain certification to cost of goods sold as
incurred.
We
review inventory on an ongoing basis, considering factors such as
deterioration and obsolescence. We record an allowance for
estimated losses when the facts and circumstances indicate that
particular inventories may not be usable. Our reserve for obsolete
inventory was $100,000 at September 30, 2019 and December 31,
2018.
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.
Leases
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASC 842, Leases, to require lessees
to recognize all leases, with certain exceptions, on the balance
sheet, while recognition on the statement of operations will remain
similar to current lease accounting. Subsequently, the FASB issued
ASU No. 2018-10, Codification
Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, ASU No. 2018-11,
Targeted Improvements, ASU
No. 2018-20, Narrow-Scope
Improvements for Lessors, and ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements, to clarify
and amend the guidance in ASU No. 2016-02. ASC 842 eliminates real
estate-specific provisions and modifies certain aspects of lessor
accounting. This standard is effective for interim and annual
periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption
permitted. We adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019 using the
modified retrospective basis with a cumulative effect adjustment as
of that date. In addition, we elected the package of practical
expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new
standard, which allowed us to carry forward the historical
determination of contracts as leases, lease classification and not
reassess initial direct costs for historical lease arrangements.
Accordingly, previously reported financial statements, including
footnote disclosures, have not been recast to reflect the
application of the new standard to all comparative periods
presented.
Operating lease
assets are included within operating lease right-of-use assets, and
the corresponding operating lease liabilities are recorded as
current portion of long-term operating lease, and within other
long-term liabilities as long-term operating lease, net of current
portion on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September
30, 2019.
We have
elected not to present short-term leases on the consolidated
balance sheet as these leases have a lease term of 12 months or
less at lease inception and do not contain purchase options or
renewal terms that we are reasonably certain to exercise. All other
lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the
present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement
date. Because most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate of
return, we used our incremental borrowing rate based on the
information available at adoption date in determining the present
value of lease payments.
Capitalized Software Development Costs
In
accordance with ASC 985-20 regarding the development of software to
be sold, leased, or marketed, the Company expenses such costs as
they are incurred until technological feasibility has been
established, at and after which time those costs are capitalized
until the product is available for general release to customers.
The periodic expense for the amortization of capitalized software
development costs will be included in costs of sales.
43
Accrued Warranties
Accrued
warranties represent the estimated costs, if any, that will be
incurred during the warranty period of our products. We estimate
the expected costs to be incurred during the warranty period and
record the expense to the consolidated statement of operations at
the date of sale. Our manufacturer assumes the warranty against
product defects for one year from date of sale, which we extend to
our customers upon sale of the product. We assume responsibility
for product reliability and results.
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 that are, on a more
likely than not basis, not expected to be realized in accordance
with ASC guidance for income taxes.
Loss Per Share
Basic
net loss per share is computed by dividing the Company’s net
loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period presented. Diluted loss per share is
based on the treasury stock method and includes the effect from
potential issuance of shares of common stock, such as shares
issuable pursuant to the exercise of options and warrants and
conversions of preferred stock or debentures.
Equity Compensation Expense
We
account for equity compensation expense using the Black Scholes
model in accordance with FASB ASC 718,
“Compensation—Stock Compensation.” Under the
provisions of FASB ASC 718, equity compensation expense is
estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair
value.
On July
7, 2017, our shareholders approved the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan
(the “2016 Plan”). The 2016 Plan authorizes the grant
of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock,
restricted stock units and performance units/shares. Up to
5,000,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under
the 2016 Plan. Shares issued under the 2016 Plan may be either
authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or any combination
thereof. Provisions in the 2016 Plan permit the reuse or reissuance
by the 2016 Plan of shares of common stock for numerous reasons,
including, but not limited to, shares of common stock underlying
canceled, expired, or forfeited awards of stock-based compensation
and stock appreciation rights paid out in the form of cash. Equity
compensation expense will typically be awarded in consideration for
the future performance of services to us. All recipients of awards
under the 2016 Plan are required to enter into award agreements
with the Company at the time of the award; awards under the 2016
Plan are expressly conditioned upon such agreements.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject us to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash
equivalents. We maintain cash balances at financial institutions
which exceed the current Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
limit of $250,000 at times during the year.
Long-Lived Assets Including Acquired Intangible Assets
We
assess 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, we
measure recoverability of these assets by comparing the carrying
amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are
expected to generate. If our 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. We base the calculations of the estimated fair value of our
long-lived assets on the income approach. For the income approach,
we use an internally developed discounted cash flow model that
includes, 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill
Impairment, to simplify the test for goodwill impairment
by removing Step 2. An
entity will, therefore, perform the goodwill impairment test by
comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying
amount, recognizing an
impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount
exceeds the fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill
allocated to the reporting unit. An entity still
has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if
the quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU No. 2017-04 is
effective for interim
and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early
adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests
performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Adoption of ASU
No. 2017-04 is prospective.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See
Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained
in Item 1 above.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do
not have any transactions, agreements or other contractual
arrangements that constitute off-balance sheet
arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk.
We are
a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 405 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 12b-2 under the
Exchange Act, and are not required to disclose the information
required by this Item 3 pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation
S-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
management, with the participation of our Principal Executive
Officer and Principal Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of
the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as is
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as
of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form
10-Q. Based on that
evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial
Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules
13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act during the period
covered by this Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and
Procedures
In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and
internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes
that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the
desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure
controls and procedures and internal control over financial
reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints
and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the
benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their
costs.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From
time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims
arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. We
currently are not a party to any legal proceedings, the adverse
outcome of which, in management’s opinion, individually or in
the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on our results
of operations, financial position or cash flows. Regardless of the
outcome, any litigation could have an adverse impact on us due to
defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and
other factors.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
While,
as a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the
information required by this Item 1A, you should carefully review
and consider the risk factors contained in our other reports and
periodic filings with the SEC, including without limitation the
risk factors contained under the caption
“Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The risk
factors discussed in that Form 10-K do not identify all risks
that we face because our business operations could also be affected
by additional factors that are not presently known to us or that we
currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of
Proceeds.
None.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not
applicable.
Item 5. Other Information.
None.
Item 6. Exhibits.
