FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or this Form
10-Q, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or
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,” “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 as updated in this Form
10-Q. 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
TOMI
Environmental Solutions, Inc., a Florida corporation
(“TOMI”, the “Company”, “we”,
“our” and “us”) is a global provider of
disinfection and decontamination essentials through our premier
Binary Ionization Technology®

single-family homes and multi-unit residences. Additionally, our
products have been listed on the EPA’s List N as products
that help combat COVID-19, and are actively being used for this
purpose.
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 us, 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 we believe 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 our audited financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and notes thereto
which are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K previously
filed with the SEC on March 30, 2020. We follow 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.
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.
10
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 the condensed 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 for 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 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,
accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value
because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash
and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, held at financial
institutions and other liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less. At times, these deposits may be in excess
of insured limits.
Accounts Receivable
Our
accounts receivable are typically from 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 their status 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, 2020 was approximately $153,000 and $226,000,
respectively. Bad debt expense for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2019 was approximately $1,000 and $33,000,
respectively.
At
September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the allowance for
doubtful accounts was $315,000 and $110,000,
respectively.
11
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 $0 and $100,000 as of September 30, 2020 and December
31, 2019, respectively.
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.
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, 2020
and December 31, 2019.
We have
elected not to present short-term leases on the condensed
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, we expense 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 amtorization of capitalized software development costs will
be included in cost of sales. Amortization expense for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $10,475 and $31,425,
respectively. Amortiztion expense for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2019 was $6,285.
12
Accounts Payable
As of September 30, 2020, three vendors accounted for approximately
56% of accounts payable. As of December 31, 2019, one vendor
accounted for approximately 40% of accounts payable.
For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, two vendors
accounted for 66% and 77% of cost of sales, respectively. For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, one vendor
accounted for 54% and 68% 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 condensed consolidated statement of
operations at the date of sale. Our manufacturers assume the
warranty against product defects 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, 2020, and
December 31, 2019, our warranty reserve was $105,000 and $30,000,
respectively (See Note 15).
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, 2020 and December 31, 2019. 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 Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic
net income or (loss) per share is computed by dividing the
Company’s net income or (loss) by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding during the period presented.
Diluted income or (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, 2020 consisted of 1,686,633
shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding
warrants, 101,250 shares of common stock issuable upon outstanding
options and 63,750 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion
of outstanding shares of Preferred A stock (“Convertible
Series A Preferred Stock”).
Potentially
dilutive securities as of September 30, 2019 consisted of 1,157,407
shares of common stock from convertible debentures, 2,667,565
shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding
warrants, 77,500 shares of common stock issuable upon outstanding
options and 63,750 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.
13
Diluted
net income or (loss) per share is computed similarly to basic net
income or (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 1.9 million and 3.5
million shares of common stock were outstanding at September 30,
2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, but were excluded from
the computation of diluted net loss per share at December 31, 2019
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). We recognize revenue
when we transfer promised goods or services to customers in an
amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be
entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To determine
revenue recognition for contracts with customers we perform the
following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer;
(ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii)
determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction
price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v)
recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance
obligation(s). At contract inception, we assess the goods or
services promised within each contract, assess whether each
promised good or service is distinct and identify those that are
performance obligations.
16
We
must use judgment to determine: a) the number of performance
obligations based on the determination under step (ii) above and
whether those performance obligations are distinct from other
performance obligations in the contract; b) the transaction price
under step (iii) above; and c) the stand-alone selling price for
each performance obligation identified in the contract for the
allocation of transaction price in step (iv) above.
Title
and risk of loss generally pass to our customers upon shipment. Our
Customers include end users as well as dealers and distributors who
market and sell our products. Our revenue is not contingent upon
resale by the dealer or distributor, and we have no further
obligations related to bringing about resale. Shipping and handling
costs charged to customers are included in Product Revenues. The
associated expenses are treated as fulfillment costs and are
included in Cost of Revenues. Revenues are reported net of sales
taxes collected from Customers.

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.
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.
Contract Balances
As of
September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019 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 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,
or 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 625,000 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 us at the time of the award; awards under the 2016 Plan are
expressly conditioned upon such agreements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and
2019, we issued 50,000 and 50,000 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.
18
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, 2020 and 2019.
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, 2020 were approximately $56,000 and $156,000,
respectively. 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.
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, 2020, research and development
expenses were approximately $45,000 and $245,000, respectively. For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, research and
development expenses were approximately $88,000 and $249,000,
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
August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15,
“Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Topic
350): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred
in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract.”
This new guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing
implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a
service contract with the requirements for capitalizing
implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use
software. This new guidance is effective on a prospective or
retrospective basis beginning on January 1, 2020, with early
adoption permitted. We elected to adopt this guidance early, in
2020 on a prospective basis. The new guidance did not have a
material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.

NOTE 7. 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 9. CLOUD COMPUTING SERVICE
CONTRACT
In May 2020 we entered into a cloud computing service contract. The
contract provides for annual payments in the amount of $30,409 and
has a term of 5 years. The annual contract payments are capitalized
as a prepaid expense and amortized over a twelve-month period.
Amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2020 was $7,602 and $10,143, respectively.
We have incurred
implementation costs of $37,573 in connection with the cloud
computing service contract which have been capitalized in prepaid
expenses as of September 30, 2020. In accordance with ASU
No. 2018-15, such implementation
costs will be amortized once the cloud-based service contract is
placed in service.

NOTE 10. 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, or the Notes, and three-year
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 125,000 shares of common stock
at an exercise price of $5.52 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 $4.32 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, 2020 was $0 and
$40,689, respectively. Interest expense related to the Notes for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $50,000 and
$150,000, 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.
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 $3.68. 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 234,745 shares of common
stock. We recognized an induced conversion cost of
$57,201 related to the conversion.
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

NOTE 11. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Our
Board of Directors (the “Board”) may, without further
action by our shareholders, from time to time, direct the issuance
of any authorized but unissued or unreserved shares of preferred
stock in series and at the time of issuance, determine the rights,
preferences and limitations of each series. The holders of such
preferred stock may be entitled to receive a preference payment in
the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up by us
before any payment is made to the holders of our common stock.
Furthermore, the Board could issue preferred stock with voting and
other rights that could adversely affect the voting power of the
holders of our common stock.

respective par value thereof (the “Reverse Stock
Split”), and, on September 10, 2020, we filed an Articles of
Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Department of
State of the State of Florida to effect the Reverse Stock Split.
The Reverse Stock Split became effective as of 5:00 p.m.,

retroactively restated in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for

property.
Product Liability

against us for product liability.
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus
On
March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the SARS
CoV-2 coronavirus a global pandemic and recommended
containment and mitigation measures worldwide. We have been
identified as an essential disinfectant and decontamination vendor
by various agencies and countries. Our operations being essential
have been materially affected by the coronavirus outbreak to date,
as demand for our product and services is increasing. The uncertain
nature of its spread globally may or may not impact our business
operations resulting from quarantines of employees, customers and
suppliers as well as potential travel restrictions in areas
affected or may be affected in the future.
NOTE 13. CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS

Other Agreements
In June
2015, we launched the TOMI Service Network (“TSN”). The
TSN is a national service network composed of existing full-service
restoration industry specialists that have entered into licensing
agreements with us to become Primary Service Providers
(“PSPs”). The licensing agreements grant protected
territories to PSPs to perform services using our
SteraMist® platform of
products and also provide for potential job referrals to PSPs
whereby we are entitled to referral fees. Additionally, the
agreement provides for commissions due to PSPs for equipment and
solution sales they facilitate to other service providers in their
respective territories. As part of these agreements, we are
obligated to provide to the PSPs various training, ongoing support
and facilitate a referral network call center. As of September 30,
2020, we had entered into 175 agreements in connection with the
launch of the TSN. The licensing agreements contain fixed price
minimum equipment and solution orders based on the population of
the territories granted pursuant to the licensing agreements. The
nature and terms of our TSN agreements may represent multiple
deliverable arrangements. Each of the deliverables in these
arrangements typically represent a separate unit of accounting. As
of January 1, 2020, we have removed the exclusivity portion of our
service partner company agreements

for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $789 and
$1,576, respectively.
Under
the terms of the Note and the PPP Loan, interest accrues on the
outstanding principal at the rate of 1.0% per annum. The term of
the Note is two years, though it may be payable sooner in
connection with an event of default under the Note. To the extent
the loan amount is not forgiven under the PPP, we will be obligated
to make equal monthly payments of principal and interest beginning
on the date that is seven months from the date of the Note, until
the maturity date.
NOTE 17. INCOME TAXES
For the three and nine-months September 30, 2020 and 2019, our
provision for income tax was $77,000 and $0, respectively. 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. As of September
30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, we recorded a valuation allowance
of $3,429,000 and $5,580,000, respectively for the portion of the
deferred tax assets that we do not expect to be realized. The
valuation allowance on our net deferred taxes decreased by
$2,151,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020,
primarily due to the utilization of deferred tax assets. Management
believes that based on the available information, it is more likely
than not that the remaining U.S. deferred tax assets will not be
realized, such that a valuation allowance is required against U.S.
deferred tax assets. 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.
NOTE 18. CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION
We
had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or
more of our total revenue, or whose accounts receivable balances
individually represented 10% or more of our accounts
receivable.
As of December 31, 2019, three customers accounted for 37% of
accounts receivable.
As of September 30, 2020, two customers accounted for 23% of
accounts receivable.
For the three months
ended September 30, 2019, one customer accounted for 12% of net
revenue.
For
the nine months ended September 20, 2020, one customer accounted
for 11% of net revenue. For the nine months ended September 20,
2019, one customer accounted for 10% of net revenue.

Condition and Results of Operations.
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition
and results of operations in conjunction with the condensed
consolidated financial statements and the related notes included
elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated
financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC.
In addition to our historical condensed consolidated financial
information, the following discussion contains forward-looking
statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our
actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the
forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute
to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in
this Form 10-Q, particularly in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk
Factors.”
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.
Our SteraMist®
is a patented technology that produces
ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (iHP™)
using plasma science created under a grant by the United States Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Our EPA registered BIT™
Solution is composed of a low
concentration of hydrogen peroxide converted 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 ionized
hydrogen peroxide 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
the oxidation of proteins, carbohydrates, and
lipids. SteraMist® no-touch disinfection and or
decontamination treat areas mechanically, causing
cellular disruptions and/or
dysfunctions resulting in a 6-log (99.9999%) and greater kill or
inactivation of all pathogens in the treatment
area.
SteraMist®
Binary Ionization Technology®
allows a facility to have a mechanical method of cleaning using a
Hospital-HealthCare disinfectant which is an EPA registered tool
and solution to replace flawed 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. This year our EPA label was
further amended to include Emerging Viral Pathogens claims, thus
meeting the criteria against Enveloped viruses and Large
Non-enveloped viruses. BIT™
is also listed on EPA’s List G
(Norovirus), H (MRSA), K (C. diff), L
(Ebola), M (Avian flu or Influenza) and N (Emerging Viral Pathogens
including SARS-CoV-2). We maintain this registration in 50
states, Canada, and approximately 35 other
countries.
Markets
Our
SteraMist®
products are designed to address a wide spectrum of industries
using iHP™. Our
operations consist of five main divisions based on our current
target industries: Hospital-Healthcare, Life Sciences, TOMI Service
Network, Food Safety and Commercial.
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 and protocols. Additionally, we
offer integrated facility equipment installations known as Custom
Engineered Systems, routine & emergency iHP™
Corporate Service, essential training packages, validations and
qualifications, and onsite performance maintenance requests –
Each of these are structured to address the unique disinfection and
decontamination needs of our customers worldwide regardless of the
type of facility requiring or requesting SteraMist®
treatment.
33
Divisions
Hospital-Healthcare
Our
Hospital-HealthCare customer list continues to grow with the
closing of every quarter. Our SteraMist® Hospital
Disinfection Cart, an all-in-one cart that houses our handheld
point-and-spray SteraMist® Surface Unit
and accompanying supplies, continues to assist medical staff with
emergency response and turnaround for new and established
protocols. The SteraMist® Hospital
disinfection cart, recently modified for further ease and mobility,
allows customers within the hospital-healthcare industry to address
concerns of the cross-contamination of dangerous bacteria and viral
pathogens in which some can lead to HAIs stemming from existing and
emerging pathogens, as well as multiple drug resistant organisms
(MDRO’s). SteraMist® technology
allows a manual cleaning protocol lasting 90 minutes to be reduced
to 55 minutes, including the changing of bed linens, as confirmed
by the Shield Study at UCLA, a study which will be expanding
throughout other areas of one of the hospitals participating in the
study. This mobile consolidation solution has resulted in
remarkable results for facilities utilizing our
technology.
Life Sciences
Our
SteraMist® Environment
System, Custom Engineered Solutions, the SteraMist® Select Surface
Unit, custom iHP™ implementation
to decontamination chambers and cage washers, and our
iHP™
Service Division, are designed to be tailored 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.
In addition, we have worked alongside many research universities
and government agencies in the effort to test SteraMist® efficacy on the
disinfection and reprocessing of N95 masks and other equivalent
PPE, with results that indicate that the use of
SteraMist® iHP™ will
not reduce mask efficacy, including on those containing 10% or less
of cellulose. SteraMist® has also been
included in studies observing the effects of iHP™
disinfection on the reduction of Syphacia obvelata pinworm ova presence
in rodent cages, coronavirus, and adenovirus, all of which
indicated positive results.
TOMI Service Network
The
TOMI Service Network, or TSN, is an expansive network consisting of
third-party professionals specializing in a wide array of
disciplines who are exclusively licensed and trained to use the
SteraMist® products. We
sell, train, and service a wide array of professional remediation
companies in the use of SteraMist® through the TSN
division. This allows for increased accessibility of
BIT™
to facilities in need of local routine and emergency disinfection
and decontamination.
Many of
these companies specialize in mold remediation, treatment of
water-damaged areas (including damage from CAT 1-3 water loss),
fire damage, as well as professional specialists that are certified
and practice in the area of forensic restoration. Currently, the
TSN features a number of professionals throughout both the United
States and Canada, with some utilizing SteraMist® as a standalone
service and others incorporating SteraMist® into their
existing business models and methods.
Sales
of BIT™ Solution make
up a large amount of our consistent revenue stream, and members of
the TOMI Service Network are a large portion of those recurring
sales. As of January 1, 2020, we have removed the exclusivity
portion of our service partner company agreements, allowing us to
expand our network and further penetrate existing markets and
additional markets.
Food Safety
Food
Safety presents significant potential as an opportunity for
substantial growth with continued product research and compliance
testing. With the food safety industry in North America coming
under closer scrutiny with the implementation and enforcement of
new and established guidelines, our consultants have submitted a
request to expand our current labels to include a 1% acceptable
concentration of hydrogen peroxide. This concentration has
previously been approved by the USDA and FDA for direct food and
crop application, and will allow SteraMist® to expand use
sites beyond food processing machinery, restaurants, and food
contact areas to assist in compliance with the newly-established
Food Safety Modernization Act guidelines set in place by the FDA,
as well as the Safe Food for Canadians Act and Safe Food for
Canadians Regulations in Canada.
34
Although COVID-19
has delayed a significant increase in our Food Safety division, the
SteraMist® Select Surface
Unit has been proven effective for the industry. In the second
quarter of 2020, the United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA), Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) and Office of
Public Health and Safety (OPHS) purchased three of these units.
FSIS, a public health regulatory agency of the USDA, protects
consumers by ensuring that meat, poultry, and egg products are
safe, wholesome, and accurately labeled. FSIS has three
laboratories located in Athens, GA, St. Louis, MO, and Albany, CA.
These regulatory labs analyze meat, poultry and egg products, to
ensure that they are free of adulteration. The labs are part of the
critical infrastructure of the country and continue to operate
during the coronavirus pandemic to provide a safe supply of food
products. As the Select Surface unit is portable and flexible, the
disinfection unit can be used in multiple areas and on different
types of surfaces, which is ideal for these labs. The units were
purchased initially to provide lab workers a safe environment to
work in, however, since SteraMist® technology
inactivates viruses and kills bacteria. The units will also be
useful after the threat of the current pandemic ends as the
Microbiology labs at all 3 sites handle a variety of pathogenic
bacteria routinely.
Recently, the USDA
Research, Education, and Economics Mission area in the Northeast
Area purchased a SteraMist® Select Surface
unit. Additionally, we are seeing a slight increase in the interest
of Universities assembling funding to purchase
SteraMist®
disinfection for their dining halls in order to bring students back
to school and open their dining halls and cafes.
Commercial
Due to
a large interest and added customers in a variety of other use
sites, we launched a Commercial division. Currently to date, we
have shipped equipment to and onboarded a total of eighty-two (82)
customers that fit into this division, a mix between domestic and
international territories. These customers include but are not
limited to use sites such as aircraft (both airplane and
helicopter), manufacturing companies, automobile, naval, education,
regulatory consulting agencies, retail, housing and recreation, and
of course emergency preparedness for counties and cities to use
SteraMist® throughout
their community.
Business Highlights and Recent Events
Reverse Stock Split and NASDAQ Capital Market
On
September 10, 2020, we effected a 1-for-8 reverse stock split of
the outstanding shares of our common stock and preferred A stock.
On September 30, 2020, we announced our common stock was approved
for listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market and our shares commenced
trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on October 1,
2020.
SARS CoV-2
coronavirus:
On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization
declared the SARS CoV-2 coronavirus a global pandemic, or the COVID-19 Pandemic, and
recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide.
We have been identified as a disinfectant and decontamination
vendor by various agencies and countries. We have been working
relentlessly with organizations to address the concerns and provide
solutions for disinfecting and decontamination of the SARS CoV-2
coronavirus. The outbreak initially increased the demand for our
products and services. We believe that the COVID-19 Pandemic has
permanently created a public interest in disinfection.
We anticipate that the outbreak will change
requirements and protocols for disinfecting and decontamination
worldwide, of which SteraMist® will be a
solution. We are working with our existing and new customers to
develop and/or upgrade their exisisting processes and requirements
for disinfecting and
decontamination.
We have
been addressing the increased demand for our products as follows:
(i) cooperation supply chain to expedite product, (ii) increase our
staff to be able to receive and ship orders to meet customer
timelines (iii) increase our customer service support to answer
questions and solve issues and (iv) working with our TOMI service
network to ensure that resources are deployed in a timely manner.
In addition, we increased our production capacity as we entered
into an agreement with a second vendor to build our
SteraMist®
products.
While
the initial outbreak saw a surge in demand for our
SteraMist® products, we
expect that the demand for our products and services will continue
and we are building a team to address the post COVID-19 Pandemic
market opportunities.
35
Revenues:
Total
revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, was
$4,292,000 and $1,600,000, respectively, representing an increase
of $2,692,000, or 168% compared to the same prior year period. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, our total
revenue was $21,374,000 and $4,492,000, respectively, representing
an increase of $16,882,000, or 376% compared to the same prior year
period.
The
increase in revenue was attributable to increased global demand for
disinfection and infectious disease control products in response to
the COVID-19 Pandemic. Although we saw
a significant demand for our product within our
Hospital-Healthcare, TSN, and Commercial divisions
as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic
during the first half of 2020, we expect revenue to reflect steady
growth as our customers update their operation requirements to
include disinfecting and decontamination services into their
regular routines for all potential pathogens and across all our
divisions.
SteraMist®
product-based revenues for the three months ended September 30,
2020 and 2019, were $3,677,000 and $928,000, representing an
increase of $2,749,000 or 296% when compared to the same prior year
period. Product based revenues for the nine months ended September
30, 2020 and 2019, were $19,557,000 and $3,461,000, representing an
increase of $16,096,000 or 465% when compared to the same prior
year period. The growth is attributable to increased mobile
equipment orders and solution orders from our existing and new
customers. We expect solution orders to continue to grow as our
customers adopt new protocols for disinfecting and decontamination
services. We cannot determine the frequency or quantities at this
time, as the industry is rapidly evolving.
Our
service-based revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020
and 2019, was $615,000 and $672,000, respectively, representing a
year over year decrease of 8%. The decline is attributable to the
timing of emergency service jobs in the prior year period that did
not reoccur in the current year period. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2020 and 2019, our service-based revenue was
$1,817,000 and $1,031,000, representing an increase of $786,000 or
76% when compared to the same prior period in 2019. The increase in
our service-based revenue was attributable to higher training sales
recorded in connection with onboarding new customers and increased
iHPTM
service jobs.
Our
domestic revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and
2019 was $3,446,000 and $1,288,000, respectively, an increase of
$2,158,000, or 168% when compared to the same prior year period.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, our domestic
revenues were $15,437,000 and $3,852,000, representing an increase
of $11,585,000 or 301%. The increase was primarily due to the
growth in our TSN network, Hospital-Healthcare and Commercial
sales.
Internationally,
our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019,
was approximately $846,000 and $312,000, respectively, representing
an increase of $534,000 or 171% when compared to the third quarter
of 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, our
international revenues were $5,937,000 and $640,000, representing
an increase of $5,297,000 or 828%. The increase in our
international revenue was attributable to the increased use and
expansion of our SteraMist® line of
products in Canada, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. We expect our
international revenue to continue to grow as more countries adopt
our products and services as well as change their disinfecting and
decontamination requirements as countries open their borders when
the COVID-19 Pandemic subsides.
Events:
Following are the
significant events during the third quarter 2020:
●
July 23, 2020
– a study detailing the positive effects of
SteraMist® on various
aspects of fresh produce quality and storage is published in
Elsevier Food Journal;
●
July 27, 2020
– we announced the completion and testing trial of our first
disinfection robot;
●
August 21, 2020

Pathogens
36
●
September 14, 2020
- we announced a 1-for-8
reverse stock split;
●
September 21, 2020
- Frederick 911 Communications Center promotes the success of
SteraMist® after it
purchased a surface unit; and
●
September 30, 2020
- we announced our uplisting to the Nasdaq Capital
Market.
During
the third quarter of 2020, we experienced the
following:
●
grew quarter over
quarter revenue by $2,692,000 or 168%;
●
sold 93 machines
and added 49 new customers;
●
increased demand on
solution re-orders as disinfecting and decontamination procedures
have increased exponentially across the world;
●
saw an increase in
servicing national accounts across multiple facilities both via iHP
Corporate Service and TSN;
●
new channels were
opened as disinfecting and decontamination protocols have been
firmly implemented and enhanced across the world. To date, TOMI has
eighty-two (82) customers in a variety of new commercial channels,
both in domestic and international territories. These customers
include but are not limited to use sites such as aviation aircraft
(both fixed-wing aircraft planes and helicopters), FAA air traffic
towers, prisons, police and fire departments, manufacturing
companies, automobile, marine, education, regulatory consulting
agencies, retail, housing and recreation, and of course emergency
preparedness for counties and cities to use SteraMist throughout
their community; and
●
the increased
demand of product and services has led to the hiring and onboarding
of additional employees to assist in a wide variety of company
operations, including but not limited to accounting, procurement,
customer satisfaction, and quality control.
37
Thus
far during the fourth quarter of 2020, we experienced the
following:
●
we continued our
efforts to expand our markets, both domestically and
internationally, and with a focus in military civil defense and
homeland security in foreign lands;
●
our common stock
was listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market;
●
SteraMist®
was implemented into certain airports and emergency services;
and
●
our newest product,
SteraBot™, was piloted
at a Lithuanian University Hospital.
Research Studies:
An
article was published on April 30, 2020, with our long-term
customer, Dana Farber in Boston on the research studies and
protocol developments of the decontamination of N95 masks and face
shields. This protocol is under review with the FDA and allows for
the disinfection of 2,000 masks in two (2) hours. Similar protocols
developed at the University of Iowa and Cedars Sinai of Los Angeles
are also under review with the FDA allowing for tens of thousands
of PPE reprocessing daily.
We are
also moving forward with testing on 1% BIT Solution in preparation
of another EPA label as we passed the third milestone for EPA
review and our PRIA date is set in December 2020.
We are
working with our German aircraft partner and Boeing in a
third-party test required for the aviation industry. We will incur
no costs for this work as both testing partners are
clients.
We are
working with the Virginia State University Agricultural Research
Station and its partner, Arkema on a food safety pilot study based
on novel, nonthermal, and environmentally friendly technology to
control foodborne pathogens on industrial hemp seed and strawberry
as representative model foods. The study will investigate the
efficacy of aerosolized hydrogen peroxide in inactivating foodborne
pathogens – determining the optimum treatment conditions on
microbial and physical quality of the two model
products.
We are
working with University of Virginia on two separate studies. First,
SteraMist efficacy against SARS-COVID-2 and second, against
Adenovirus using the handheld SteraMist Surface Unit and testing
spray and contact time variables. Final results are expected to be
available by the end of November 2020. Data provided by the SARS
COVID-2 studies should drastically assist our international
partners and revenue and Adenovirus is expected to assist in our
Hospital-HealthCare and Life Science divisions, as it is recognized
as a more resistant organism.
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. University of California,
Los Angeles expanded involvement in the SHIELD study allowing for
additional collection of data to validate the value of
SteraMist® technology in hospitals, this expansion has
been postponed until the threat of COVID-19 decreases and on-site
EVS training can continue.
Product Development:
We
continue to enhance and develop new SteraMist
products:
●
SteraMist Robot
“SteraBot®”
- We, along with our global partners, have jointly designed,
tested and produced the SteraMist® disinfection
robots. The robot will leverage the latest technologies in
Automatic Guided Vehicle and will be able to map a new environment,
perform autonomous navigation and conduct disinfection routine
based on propriety algorithms. We are currently conducting
extensive trials of the prototype disinfection SteraMist robot
“SteraBot®”.
38
●
SteraMist Backpack
“SteraPack®” - We have made strides in the
development of the SteraPack® in 2020. A
prototype is set to be delivered very early 2021 with a tentative
launch date of early second quarter 2021. The SteraPack® will be battery
operated and yet another mobile decontamination solution for our
Hospital-Healthcare, TSN, and Commercial divisions.
●
TOMI Custom Engineered System (CES) -
Building off our experience in CES systems at Dana Farber, ITH
Pharma, Ltd and Pfizer (the room developing the COVID-19 vaccine).
The CES system allows for quicker turnaround times for cleaning,
thereby increasing the frequency of the testing), we will be
finalizing and installing our permanent fogging system at our
Frederick Operations Office. This system’s software will
contain all possible configurations to our CES product line and
serve as a demonstration unit to potential future customers. In
addition, the TOMI CES will allow our iHP™
Corporate Service division to decontaminate local emergency and
community vehicles and equipment.
During
2020, we will continue our focus on improving our
SteraMist® Environment
System and the development of a 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.
We are
in the design phase with our partner Arkema and their client (a
global food storage and safety company) on an 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 high-volume spaces.
Registrations & Intellectual Property
We
continue to expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio,
including trademarks and patents (design and utility). To date we
have over 40 published, granted, or pending design and utility
patents or patent applications worldwide. This includes
continuation in-part and patent cooperation treaty filings (CIP and
PCT), national stage applications, and a Paris Convention
application for countries included but not limited to European
Union, Israeli, Singapore, and Canada for our two recently
published patents in the United States, Decontamination Device and
Method using Ultrasonic Cavitation and Method and System for
Decontamination Small Enclosures.
Further, we have
over one hundred and sixty (160) trademarks worldwide between word
and logo marks either active or pending acceptance. This includes,
our most recent application for the SteraMist® robot product
line, SteraBot.
In
March 2020, BIT™ Solution qualified to meet the EPA Emerging
Viral Pathogen Guidance for Antimicrobial Pesticides with the
SteraMist Environment System for room fogging/misting against
SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19. The EPA
Emerging Viral Pathogen Guidance for Antimicrobial Pesticides is
important because the occurrence of emerging viral pathogens is
less common and predictable than established pathogens and there
are currently no other EPA-registered combined whole room and
portable technology and disinfectant solutions disinfectants with
EPA product labels with claims against COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2, the
novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 qualifies as an emerging
viral pathogen. Our BIT™ Solution, used exclusively in tandem
with SteraMist® equipment
including the Surface Unit and Environment System, is currently

Total
revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, was
$4,292,000 and $1,600,000, respectively, representing an increase
of $2,692,000, or 168% compared to the same prior year period.
Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and
2019, was $21,374,000 and $4,492,000, respectively, representing an
increase of $16,882,000, or 376% compared to the same prior year
period. The increase in revenue was attributable to increased
global demand for disinfection and infectious disease control
products in response to the COVID-19
Pandemic. In the third quarter we saw significant demand for our
product with our Hospital-Healthcare and TSN sales as a result of
theCOVID-19 Pandemic. We expect the revenue to continue to grow as
our customers update their requirements, processes and procedures
to include disinfecting and decontamination services into their
regular routines.
As customers mature through the product and
adoption cycle and our sales pipeline converts to revenue, we
expect to have more predictable sales quarter over quarter.
Further, as the COVID-19 Pandemic subsides, we expect that
the demand for our products and services will continue and we are
building a team to address the post COVID-19 Pandemic market
opportunities.

Cost of
sales was $1,456,000 and $460,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase of $996,000,
in the current year period. The
primary reason for the increase in cost of sales is attributable to
the increase in revenue in the current year. Our gross
profit as a percentage of sales for the three months ended
September 30, 2020 was 66.1% compared to 71.3% in the same prior
period. The lower gross profit is attributable to the product mix
in sales.
Cost of

$6,868,000, or 425%, compared to the same period in the prior year.
The primary reason for the increase in
cost of sales is attributable to the increase in revenue in the
current year. Our gross profit as a percentage of sales for
the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 60.3% compared to
64.0% in the same prior period, respectively. The lower gross
profit is attributable to the product mix in sales. As revenues
continue to grow and we are able to negotiate more favorable
pricing from our vendors, we anticipate that our cost per unit
could decrease.

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 a revision of our sales department as well as a
complete reduction in tradeshow costs in the current year period as
a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic. We expect tradeshow expenses to
continue to decline this year in connection with the COVID-19
Pandemic as physical distancing continues to remain in effect. We
expect to increase our external sales team strategy during 2020
along with adding internal senior sales and sector Vice Presidents
to address the increase in the demand for our products and
services.

Amortization
of debt discount was $0 and $18,000 for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Amortization of debt
discount for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,
consisted 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
$800 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and
2019.
Interest income was
$2,300 and $2,400 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and
2019, respectively.
Interest expense
was $800 and $50,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020
and 2019, respectively. Interest expense for the three months ended
September 30, 2019 consisted of the interest incurred on the
$6,000,000 principal amount of Notes issued in March and May 2017
of which $4,500,000 was converted to common stock in March, 2020
and the remaining $500,000 was paid in cash in March
2020.
Interest expense
was $42,000 and $150,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2020 and 2019, respectively. Interest expense for the nine months
ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 primarily consisted of the
interest incurred on the $6,000,000 principal amount of Notes
issued in March and May 2017 of which $4,500,000 was converted to
common stock in March, 2020 and the remaining $500,000 was paid in
cash in March 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of
$5,885,000 and working capital of $11,691,000. 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 2020, convertible notes with a principal
balance of $4,500,000 were converted into 1,041,667 shares
of our common stock at a conversion
price of $4.32 per share and the remaining outstanding balance of
$500,000 was repaid in the form of cash.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2020 we incurred income from
operations of $7,412,000 and for the nine months ended September
30, 2019 we incurred losses from operations of
($1,590,000). Cash provided from operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 2020, was $4,945,000. Cash used in
operations was ($573,000) for the nine months ended September 30,
2019.

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities
for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $4,945,000,
compared to cash used in operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 2019 of ($573,000). Our cash provided by operations
improved in the current year period as a result of increased
revenue and net income.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for
the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $50,000 and
$288,000, respectively. Cash used in investing activities decreased
$238,000 primarily due to software development costs and the
acquisition of fixed assets in the prior year period.
Financing Activities
Cash
provided by financing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $94,000 and $0, respectively. The
cash provided by financing activities increased in the current
period due to the repayment of the principal balance of the
convertible note of $500,000 offset by proceeds from the exercise
of warrants and options in the amount of $184,000 and proceeds from
loans payable of $411,000.
Liquidity
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;
●
global response to
the outbreak of COVID-19 Pandemic;
●
expansion into new
territories and markets; and
●
timing of orders
from distributors.
We
could incur operating losses and an increase of costs related to
the continuation of product and technology development, and sales
expense as we continue to grow our sales teams and geographic
presence, tooling capital expenditures as we ramp up and streamline
our production and administrative activities including compliance
with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 Section 404.
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 global revenue in all verticals;
●
source alternative
lower-cost suppliers;
●
expansion of
international distributors; and
●
continued growth in
all of our verticals.
46
We expect that the cash we generate from our core operations will
generally be sufficient to cover our future capital expenditures
and to pay down our near-term debt obligations, although we may
choose to seek alternative financing sources.
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.
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 Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue
from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). We recognize revenue
when we transfer promised goods or services to customers in an
amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be
entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To determine
revenue recognition for contracts with customers we perform the
following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer;
(ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii)
determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction
price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v)
recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance
obligation(s). At contract inception, we assess the goods or
services promised within each contract, assess whether each
promised good or service is distinct and identify those that are
performance obligations.
We
must use judgment to determine: a) the number of performance
obligations based on the determination under step (ii) above and
whether those performance obligations are distinct from other
performance obligations in the contract; b) the transaction price
under step (iii) above; and c) the stand-alone selling price for
each performance obligation identified in the contract for the
allocation of transaction price in step (iv) above.
Title
and risk of loss generally pass to our customers upon shipment. Our
Customers include end users as well as dealers and distributors who
market and sell our products. Our revenue is not contingent upon
resale by the dealer or distributor, and we have no further
obligations related to bringing about resale. Shipping and handling
costs charged to customers are included in Product Revenues. The
associated expenses are treated as fulfillment costs and are
included in Cost of Revenues. Revenues are reported net of sales
taxes collected from Customers.
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.
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.
47
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.
Contract Balances
As of
September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019 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.
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of condensed 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 for 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 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,
accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value
because of the short maturity of these instruments.
48
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 typically from 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.
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.
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.
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, 2020
and December 31, 2019.
49
We have
elected not to present short-term leases on the condensed
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 we expense 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.
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 condensed consolidated statement of
operations at the date of sale. Our manufacturers assume the
warranty against product defects 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 Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) guidance for income
taxes.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic
net income or (loss) per share is computed by dividing our net
income or (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the period presented. Diluted income or
(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 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
and is recognized as expense over the requisite service
period.
On July
7, 2017, our shareholders approved the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan,
or 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 625,000 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 us at the time of the award; awards under the 2016 Plan are
expressly conditioned upon such agreements.
50
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 nine months ended September 30, 2020 and
2019.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15,
“Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Topic
350): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred
in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract.”
This new guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing
implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a
service contract with the requirements for capitalizing
implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use
software. This new guidance is effective on a prospective or
retrospective basis beginning on January 1, 2020, with early
adoption permitted. We elected to adopt this guidance early, in
2020 on a prospective basis. The new guidance did not have a
material impact on our Consolidated Financial
Statements.
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, or the Securities Act, and Rule
12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 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.
51
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.
52
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.
You
should carefully consider the information described in the
“Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the
SEC on March 30, 2020. There have been no material changes from the
risk factors disclosed in our recent SEC filings, including our
most recently filed Form 10-K, as referenced above, except as
follows:
We have historically experienced losses from our operations, may
not be able to sustain profitability and may need to seek
additional financing to sustain our operations.
We
incurred net losses of approximately $2.3 million and $3.2 million
for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and
had an accumulated deficit of $36.2 million as of September 30,
2020. Due largely to increased demand for our products and services
in connection with the COVID-19 outbreak, we had net income of $7.3
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. We have been
increasing our headcount and expenses to support our continued
product development and planned growth, and if demand for our
products declines and we are unable to sustain our recent increases
in our net income, we may not be able to sustain profitability. Our
failure to achieve sustained profitability in the future could
cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
Even if
we do sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual
basis, we may still need to seek additional financing to facilitate
our continued growth. To finance our product development and grow
our business, we may seek funds through borrowings or through
private or public equity or debt offerings. We may be unable to
raise funds on commercially reasonable terms or at all. In
addition, the sale of additional equity or convertible debt
securities could result in additional dilution to our shareholders.
If we borrow additional funds or issue debt securities, these
securities could have rights superior to holders of our common
stock and could contain covenants that will restrict our
operations. If we do not obtain additional resources or achieve and
sustain profitability, our ability to capitalize on business
opportunities will be limited, the growth of our business will be
harmed, our business may fail, and investors may lose all of their
investment.
A pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease in the
United States or worldwide, including the outbreak of the novel
strain of coronavirus disease, COVID-19, could adversely affect our
business.
If a
pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease occurs in
the United States or worldwide, our business may be adversely
affected. In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus,
SARS-CoV-2, was identified in Wuhan, China. Since then, SARS-CoV-2,
and the resulting disease, COVID-19, has spread to most countries,
or the COVID-19 Pandemic. While the demand for our products
generated from the COVID-19 Pandemic has positively impacted our
financial position, it has negatively impacted our operational
condition by forcing us to implement various policies for the
safety of our employees, including “work from home”
policies and office social distancing policies, which may lead to
lower productivity of our employees and a decrease in the
innovation and advancement of our products. Beyond our own
policies, numerous state and local jurisdictions have previously
imposed, and others in the future may impose,
“shelter-in-place” orders, quarantines, executive
orders and similar government orders and restrictions for their
residents to control the spread of COVID-19, which negatively
affects our operations and potentially the demand for our products
and services. These measures and challenges will likely continue
for the duration of the pandemic, which is uncertain, and may
continue to negatively impact our operations.
53
Significant
outbreaks of contagious diseases such as COVID-19, and other
adverse public health developments, could have a material impact on
our inventory position or inventory costs due to its impact of our
third-party suppliers. Further, our efforts to maintain an adequate
stock of all our product components may not be sufficient to avoid
a disruption to our production capacity due to the current COVID-19
Pandemic or similar events that may occur in the
future.
Other
disruptions or potential disruptions include restrictions on the
ability of our sales representatives and other personnel to travel
and access customers for training and case support; disruptions in
our production schedule and ability to manufacture and assemble
products; delays in actions of regulatory bodies; diversion of or
limitations on employee resources that would otherwise be focused
on the operations of our business, including because of sickness of
employees or their families or the desire of employees to avoid
contact with groups of people; business adjustments or disruptions
of certain third parties, including suppliers; increase in bad
debts due to an adverse impact of the pandemic on our
clients’ cash flows and resulting decrease in collectability
of our account receivables; and additional government requirements
or other incremental mitigation efforts that may further impact our
or our suppliers’ capacity to manufacture our
products.
While
the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of any
pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease, including
COVID-19, may be difficult to assess or predict, the widespread
COVID-19 Pandemic could cause disruption of global financial
markets, reducing our ability to access capital, which could in the
future negatively affect our liquidity. In addition, a recession or
market correction resulting from the spread of an infectious
disease, including COVID-19, could materially affect our business
for the same reasons.
Our recent increase in our net income was largely caused by a spike
in demand for sanitation products and services created by the
COVID-19 Pandemic and may not be sustainable.
The
COVID-19 Pandemic has increased the global demand for sanitizing
products and services which help prevent the proliferation of
COVID-19. Our products and services are among those that have seen
an increase in demand due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, causing us to
realize an increase in revenues and making us profitable for the
first time. If our customers do not continue to use our products
after the COVID-19 Pandemic has subsided, our sales may be
negatively impacted.
Continued rapid growth may strain our internal resources, which
would hamper our ability to manage our growth effectively, create
operating efficiencies or sustain profitability.
We are
experiencing a rapid growth in the demand for our products and
services in connection with the COVID-19 Pandemic which may strain
our financial and operational resources that were established to
meet a lower level of demand. Due to our rapid growth, we may not
be able to effectively manage the expansion of our operations or
recruit and train additional qualified personnel at the pace needed
to meet the demand for our products and services. Further, the
expansion of our operations may lead to significant costs and may
divert our management and business development resources. Any
inability to manage our growth could delay the execution of our
development and strategic objectives or disrupt our operations. Any
operational disruptions may take the form of a decrease in the
quality of customer service, reporting problems and delays in
meeting important deadlines, all of which could result in a loss of
market share and other problems that could adversely affect our
reputation and financial performance.

Our
SteraMist® family of products currently
accounts for the majority of our revenue, and our success is almost
completely dependent on the success of our
SteraMist® brand.
Our SteraMist® family of products is currently our primary
product offering, and we are completely dependent on its success.
Successfully commercializing products such as ours is a complex and
uncertain process. Our commercialization efforts will depend on the
efforts of our management and sales team, our third-party
manufacturers and suppliers and general economic conditions, among
other factors, including the following:
●
the
effectiveness of our marketing and sales efforts in the United
States and internationally;
●
our third-party manufacturers’ and
suppliers’ ability to manufacture and supply the components
of our SteraMist® products in a timely manner, in accordance with
our specifications, and in compliance with applicable regulatory
requirements, and to remain in good standing with regulatory
agencies;
●
the
availability, perceived advantages, relative cost, relative safety,
and relative efficacy of alternative and competing sanitizing
products;
●
our ability to obtain, maintain, and enforce our
intellectual property rights in and to our
SteraMist® products;
●
the emergence of competing technologies and other
adverse market developments, and our need to enhance our
SteraMist® products and/or develop new products to maintain
market share in response to such competing technologies or market
developments;
●
our ability to raise additional capital on
acceptable terms, or at all, if needed to support the
commercialization of our SteraMist® products; and
●
our ability to achieve and maintain compliance
with all regulatory requirements applicable to our
SteraMist® products.
We
have hired and trained additional sales professionals to account
for the increased demand for our products. Despite this growth in
sales personnel, we expect that our additional sales force will
require lead time in the field to grow their network of accounts
and achieve the productivity levels we expect them to reach in any
individual territory. Furthermore, the use of our products will
often require or benefit from direct support from us. If our sales
representatives do not achieve the productivity levels we expect
them to reach, our revenue will not grow at the rate we expect and
our financial performance will suffer. Also, to the extent any of
our sales force is comprised of personnel hired from our
competitors, we may have to wait until applicable non-competition
provisions have expired before deploying such personnel in
restricted territories or incur costs to relocate personnel outside
of such territories. This may subject us to allegations that these
new hires have been improperly solicited, or that they have
divulged to us proprietary or other confidential information of
their former employers. Addressing such allegations would be costly
both in terms of time and resources. Any of these risks may
adversely affect our business.
We rely on a few key customers for a majority of the sales of our
products, and the loss of any one key customer would substantially
reduce our revenues and a loss of regional coverage for our
products and services.
We rely on a few key customers, and the loss of
any of which would substantially reduce our revenues. Our customers
include end users as well as dealers and distributors who market
and sell our products. Our revenue is not contingent upon resale by
the dealer or distributor, and we have no further obligations
related to bringing about resale, however certain of these
customers account for a significant amount of revenues.
Specifically, one customer accounted for 11% of our net revenue for
the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Further, certain dealer or distributor customers
serve as our regional representatives in certain geolocations, the
loss of which would cause us to lose product coverage in such
locations.
We have no long-term customer contracts and our sales history or
backlog cannot be relied upon as an indicator of our future
sales.
We
do not have long-term contracts with any of our customers, and our
sales history or backlog cannot be relied upon as a future
indicator of our revenues. Our contracts and purchase commitments
with customers may be canceled under certain circumstances. As a
result, we are exposed to competitive price pressures on every
order, and our agreements with customers do not provide assurance
of future sales. Our customers are not required to make minimum
purchases and may cease purchasing our products at any time without
penalty. As such, our unfilled orders and previously completed
sales should not be relied on as a measure of anticipated demand or
future revenue.
55
Our licensing agreements with restoration industry specialists are
not exclusive, which may allow for our competitors to sell their
products and services to such specialists.
Our
licensing agreements with restoration industry specialists under
our TOMI Service Network program, which allows certain restoration
specialists to use and sell our products, are not exclusive. This
lack of exclusivity allows our competitors to sell products to the
same restoration specialists which could reduce our sales if our
competitors’ products are used in lieu of our products.
Additionally, the use of our and our competitors' products by a
restoration specialist may create market confusion between our
products and the products of our competitors, which may adversely
affect our brand reputation and business.
Our success depends upon broad market acceptance of our technology
that has not yet been achieved.
Our BIT technology is relatively new, having received full
Hospital registration for C. diff spores from the EPA in mid-2017. Our sales are
dependent upon broad market acceptance of our technology that
replaces long-standing failing manual cleaning techniques such as
quaternary ammonium compounds and bleach for disinfection, with our
no-touch mechanical process. The failure to obtain broad market
acceptance inevitably leads to substantially increased lead times
for sales until our prospective customers, particularly in the
Hospital-Healthcare market, are accustomed to the use of newer
mechanical technology. The inability to timely meet our sales goals
could adversely affect our financial condition and results of
operations.
We are subject to a variety of risks associated with doing business
internationally.
We maintain, and have grown over the last year, significant
international operations, including operations in the U.S., Canada,
Mexico, Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America. As a result, we are
subject to a number of risks and complications associated with
international manufacturing, sales, services, and other operations.
These include: risks associated with currency exchange rate
fluctuations; requirements or preferences for domestic products or
solutions, which could reduce demand for our products; difficulties
in enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through some
foreign legal systems; unexpected legal or regulatory changes;
enhanced credit risks in certain countries and emerging market
regions; significant variations in tax rates among the countries in
which we do business, and tax withholding obligations in respect of
our earnings; exchange controls or other trade restrictions
including, the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on our supply chain
and the industries in which we operate; customs clearance and
shipping delays; general economic and political conditions in
countries where we operate or where end users of our products are
situated, including the potential implications of the COVID-19
Pandemic; natural disasters, political and economic instability,
including wars, terrorism and political unrest, outbreak of
disease, travel, social distancing and quarantine policies,
boycotts, curtailment of trade, and other business restrictions
affecting our ability to manufacture or sell or products;
difficulties associated with managing a large organization spread
throughout various countries; difficulties in enforcing
intellectual property rights or weaker intellectual property right
protections in some countries; and difficulties associated with
compliance with a variety of laws and regulations governing
international trade.
If our procedures to ensure compliance with export control laws are
ineffective, our business could be harmed.
Our foreign operations and sales are subject to far reaching and
complex export control laws and regulations in the United States
and elsewhere. Violations of those laws and regulations could have
material negative consequences for us including large fines,
criminal sanctions, prohibitions on participating in certain
transactions and government contracts, sanctions on other companies
if they continue to do business with us and adverse
publicity.
Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or
FCPA, and similar laws associated with our activities outside of
the United States could subject us to penalties and other adverse
consequences.
Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or
FCPA, and similar laws associated with our activities outside of
the United States could subject us to penalties and other adverse
consequences. We face significant risks if we fail to comply with
the FCPA and other anti-corruption laws that prohibit improper
payments or offers of payment to foreign governments and political
parties for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. In many
foreign countries, particularly in countries with developing
economies, it may be a local custom that businesses operating in
such countries engage in business practices that are prohibited by
the FCPA or other applicable laws and regulations. Any violation of
the FCPA or other applicable anti-corruption laws could result in
severe criminal or civil sanctions and, in the case of the FCPA,
suspension or debarment from U.S. government contracting, which
could have a material and adverse effect on our reputation,
businesses, financial conditions, operating results and cash
flows.
56
Our operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations
that may increase costs of operations and impact or limit our
business plans.
We are subject to
environmental laws and regulations affecting many aspects of our
present and potential future operations, including a wide variety
of EPA labeling and other state regulatory agency requirements. For
example, under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act, we are required to register with the EPA and certain state
regulatory authorities as a seller of disinfectants, and we are
subject to EPA labeling requirements for each use that
SteraMist® is intended to address.
Compliance with these laws and regulations may result in increased
costs and delays as a result of administrative proceedings and
certain reporting obligations. Public officials and entities may
seek injunctive relief or other remedies to enforce applicable
environmental laws and regulations. If we are found to not have
complied with these laws and are unable to sell out products, our
business and financial results will be negatively
impacted.
Our reliance upon third-party contractors, suppliers and
manufacturers for the manufacture of our products increases the
risk that we will not have sufficient quantities of our products or
such quantities at an acceptable cost and reduces our control over
the manufacturing process.
We rely
upon third parties to supply us with our products. We outsource the
manufacturing of our SteraMist® line of
equipment to a manufacturing company and use contract manufacturers
to build our BIT-based systems, as we do not maintain our own
manufacturing facilities. If we fail to maintain relationships with
our current suppliers, we may not be able to effectively
commercialize and market our products, due to risks including
increased product costs, limited inventory that is not capable of
meeting demand and the possible misappropriation of our proprietary
information, such as our trade secrets and know-how. Further, as we
maintain a limited number of manufacturers for our
SteraMist® line of
equipment and blenders for our SteraMist® solutions,
alternative production facilities may not be available in the event
of a disruption, or if alternative production facilities are
available, the number of third-party suppliers with the necessary
manufacturing and regulatory expertise to produce our products at
their current quality level is limited, and it could be expensive
and take a significant amount of time to arrange for and qualify
alternative suppliers, which could have a material adverse effect
on our business.
Because
of our reliance upon third parties to supply us with our products,
we do not have control over the manufacturing process of our
third-party suppliers and are dependent on such third-party
suppliers for compliance with the regulations applicable to our
products. Third-party suppliers may not be able, or fail, to comply
with applicable regulatory requirements could result in sanctions
being imposed on us, including fines, injunctions, civil penalties,
delays, suspension or withdrawal of approvals, seizures or recalls,
operating restrictions and criminal prosecutions, any of which
could significantly and adversely harm our business and results of
operations.
Our results of operations could be materially harmed if we are
unable to accurately forecast customer demand for our products and
manage our inventory.
To
ensure adequate inventory supply, we must forecast inventory needs
and place orders with suppliers based on our estimates of future
demand for our products and services. Our limited historical
experience in foreign markets and recent increase in demand in the
United States may lead us to inadequately forecast such inventory
needs. Further, our ability to accurately forecast demand for our
products could be negatively affected by many factors, including
our failure to adequately manage our expansion efforts, product
introductions by competitors, an increase or decrease in customer
demand for products of our competitors, our failure to accurately
forecast customer acceptance of new product enhancements,
unanticipated changes in general market conditions or regulatory
matters, and weakening of economic conditions or consumer
confidence in future economic conditions.
Inventory
levels in excess of customer demand may result in inventory
write-downs or write-offs, which would cause our gross margin to be
adversely affected and could impair the strength of our brand.
Similarly, a portion of our inventory could become obsolete or
expire, which could have a material and adverse effect on our
earnings and cash flows due to the resulting costs associated with
inventory impairment charges and costs required to replace obsolete
inventory. Any of these occurrences could negatively impact our
financial performance.
57
Conversely,
if we underestimate customer demand, we may not be able to deliver
sufficient products to meet our customers’ requirements,
which could result in damage to our reputation and customer
relationships. In addition, if we experience a significant increase
in demand, additional supplies of raw materials or additional
manufacturing capacity may not be available when required on terms
that are acceptable to us, or at all, or suppliers or our
third-party manufacturers may not be able to allocate sufficient
resources to meet our increased requirements, which could have an
adverse effect on our ability to meet customer demand for our
products and our results of operations.
Our success depends on our ability to adequately protect our
intellectual property.
Our
commercial success depends, in part, on our ability to obtain,
maintain, defend, file new or enforce our existing patents,
trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights
covering our technologies and products throughout the world. We
may, however, be unable to adequately preserve such rights due to a
number of reasons, including the following:
●
our rights could be invalidated, circumvented,
challenged, breached or infringed upon;
●
we
may not have sufficient resources to adequately prosecute or
protect our intellectual property rights;
●
upon
expiration of our patents, certain of our key technology may become
widely available; or
●
third
parties may be able to develop or obtain patents for similar or
competing technology.
Although we devote
resources to the establishment and protection of our patents and
trademarks, the actions we have taken or will take in the future
may not be adequate to prevent violation of our patents, trademarks
and proprietary rights by others or prevent others from seeking to
block sales of our products as an alleged violation of their
patents, trademarks and proprietary rights. In the future,
litigation may be necessary to enforce our trademarks or
proprietary rights and we may be forced to defend ourselves against
claimed infringement or the rights of others. Any such litigation
could result in adverse determinations that could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of
operations.
In addition,
we rely in part upon unpatented trade secrets, unpatented know-how,
and continuing technological innovation which may not yet, or may
never be, patented, to develop and maintain our competitive
position, which we seek to protect, in part, by confidentiality
agreements with our employees and consultants. We also have
agreements with our employees and consultants that obligate them to
assign their inventions to us. It is possible that technology
relevant to our business will be independently developed by a
person that is not a party to such an agreement. In addition, if
the employees and consultants who are parties to these agreements
breach or violate the terms of these agreements, we may not have
adequate remedies for any such breach or violation, and we could
lose our trade secrets through such breaches or violations. To the
extent that our commercial partners, collaborators, employees and
consultants use intellectual property owned by others in their work
for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in related or resulting
know-how and inventions. Further, our trade secrets could otherwise
become known or be independently discovered by our competitors,
which would harm our business.
We may be unable to enforce our intellectual property rights
throughout the world.
As part
of our growth strategy, we are seeking to expand our operations
internationally. The laws of some foreign countries do not protect
intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the
United States. Companies have encountered significant problems in
protecting and defending intellectual property rights in certain
foreign jurisdictions. To the extent that we have obtained or are
able to obtain patents, trademarks or other intellectual property
rights in any foreign jurisdictions, it may be difficult to stop
the infringement of our patents, trademarks or the misappropriation
of other intellectual property rights. For example, some foreign
countries have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner
must grant licenses to third parties. In addition, some countries
limit the availability of certain types of patent rights and
enforceability of patents against third parties, including
government agencies or government contractors. In these countries,
patents may provide only limited benefit or no
benefit.
Proceedings to
enforce our patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in
substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other
aspects of our business. Accordingly, efforts to protect our
intellectual property rights in such countries may be inadequate.
In addition, future changes in the law and legal decisions by
courts in the United States and foreign countries may affect our
ability to obtain adequate protection for our technology and
products and the enforcement of intellectual property.
58
We face significant competition in our industry, some of which have
longer operating histories, more established products or greater
resources than we do, which may
prevent us from achieving increased market penetration and improved
operating results.
The
decontamination and environmental infectious disease control
industry is extremely competitive. The competition includes
remediators and disinfection/decontamination companies such as
Steris, Bioquell (Eco-lab) and Clorox, various ultraviolet
companies and quad ammonia-chemical companies. These competitors
may have longer operating histories, greater name recognition,
larger installed customer bases, a greater ability to provide
similar products and services at a lower cost and substantially
greater financial and marketing resources than us to develop new
products and commercialize existing products. We believe that the
principal factors affecting competition in our markets include name
recognition, customer familiarity with products, effective
marketing, competitive pricing strategies and the ability to
receive referrals based on client confidence in the service. There
are no significant barriers of entry that could keep potential
competitors from opening similar facilities. Our ability to compete
successfully in the industry will depend, in large part, upon our
ability to market and sell our indoor decontamination and
infectious disease control products and services. We may not be
able to compete successfully in the remediation industry.
Further, if one or more competitors
successfully develops a decontamination product that is
more effective, better tolerated, results in a better
customer experience, is easier to use or otherwise more attractive
than our products, our ability to continue to commercialize our
products could be significantly and adversely affected due to a
lack of ability to compete, which would have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
If the quality of our products do not meet the expectations of our
customers, then our brand and reputation or our business could be
adversely affected.
In
the course of conducting our business, we must adequately address
quality issues that may arise with our products, including defects
in third-party components and inventory. We may not be able to
eliminate or mitigate occurrences of these issues and associated
liabilities. In addition, even in the absence of quality issues, we
may be subject to claims and liability if the performance of
products that do not meet the expectations of our customers. If the
quality of our products does not meet the expectations of
customers, then our brand and reputation, and our ability to
receive referral customer business, could be adversely
affected.
Our long-term growth depends, in part, on our ability to enhance
and develop new products, and if we fail to do so we may be unable
to compete effectively.
It
is important to our business and our long-term growth that we
continue to enhance and develop new products. We intend to continue
to invest in research and development activities focused on
improvements and enhancements to our existing intellectual property
and product offerings. Our development goals include the
development and commercialization of a variety of sanitizing
robotic devices and backpack units. Despite our reasonable efforts,
it may not be possible for us to innovate in a way to keep us
competitive with other company’s due to financial and time
constraints which will negatively impact our business.
The introduction of new products is often accompanied by design and
production delays, as well as significant cost, which could prevent
us from introducing new products to the market in a timely and
cost-effective manner.
The
development and initial production and enhancement of the
decontamination systems we produce is often accompanied by design
and production delays and related costs. If we are unable to
introduce new products on our anticipated timeframe or financial
cost, our business, financial condition and results of operations
may suffer due to failing to remain competitive in our
market.
We have a limited management team size which may reduce our ability
to effectively manage our business operations as it
grows.
We
have a limited management team size which may reduce our ability to
effectively manage our business as it grows. As we expand, we
expect to increase the size of our management team. However, our
management team may not be able to adequately manage our business,
and any failure to do so could lead to a general negative impact to
our business.
59
We are dependent on our key personnel, the loss of whom could
adversely affect our operations, and if we fail to attract and
retain the talent required for our business, we could be materially
harmed.
Our
success is substantially dependent on the performance of our
executive officers, including our Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, Dr. Halden S. Shane, the loss of whom would have a
material adverse effect on our business.
We
depend to a significant degree on our ability to attract, retain
and motivate quality personnel. We further note that competition
for highly skilled personnel is often intense. We may not be
successful in attracting, integrating or retaining qualified
personnel to fulfill our current or future needs, the failure of
which would have a material adverse effect on our
business.
Our operations, and those of our suppliers, are subject to a
variety of business continuity hazards and risks, any of which
could interrupt production or operations or otherwise adversely
affect our performance and results.
We are
subject to business continuity hazards and other risks, including
natural disasters, utility and other mechanical failures, labor
difficulties, inability to obtain necessary licenses, permits or
registrations, disruption of communications, data security and
preservation, disruption of supply or distribution, safety
regulation and labor difficulties. The
occurrence of any of these or other events might disrupt or shut
down operations, or otherwise adversely impact the production or
profitability of a particular facility, or our operations as a
whole. We may also be subject to certain liability claims in the
event of an injury or loss of life, or damage to property and
equipment, resulting from such events. Although we maintain
property and casualty insurance, as well as other forms of
insurance that we believe are customary for our industries, our
insurance policies include limits and, as such, our coverage may be
insufficient to protect against all potential hazards and risks
incident to our business. Should any such hazards or risks occur,
or should our insurance coverage be inadequate or unavailable, our
business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations
might be adversely affected.
Our products are subject to potential product liability claims
which, if successful, could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of
operations.
We
are exposed to significant risks for product liability claims if
death, personal injury or property damage results from the use of
our products. While we currently maintain insurance against product
liability claims, we may experience material product liability
losses in the future. Our insurance coverage may not continue to be
available on terms that we accept, if at all, and our insurance
coverage also may not adequately cover liabilities that we incur. A
successful claim against us that exceeds our insurance coverage
level or that is not covered by insurance, or any product recall,
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations. In addition, product liability
and other claims can divert the attention of management and other
personnel for significant periods of time, regardless of the
ultimate outcome. Further, claims of this nature may cause our
customers to lose confidence in our products and us. As a result,
an unsuccessful defense of a product liability or other claim could
have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows.
The misuse of our products may harm our reputation in the
marketplace, result in injuries that lead to product liability
suits or result in costly investigations, fines or sanctions by
regulatory bodies if we are deemed to have engaged in the promotion
of these uses, any of which could be costly to our
business.
Customers,
technicians, or service providers could use our products in a
manner that is inconsistent with the products’ intended use.
We train our marketing personnel and sales representatives to not
promote our products for uses outside of the intended use, however,
we cannot otherwise prevent all instances of misuse. Further, the
marketing and sales representatives that we have hired to help meet
the demand for our products may not have received proper training
or have the working knowledge needed to adequately advise our
customers how to safely use our products. Misuse of our products
may cause an increased risk of injury to customers, which could
harm our reputation in the marketplace, as well as lead to
potential product liability lawsuits.
60
We may seek to grow our business through acquisitions of
complementary products or technologies, and the failure to manage
acquisitions, or the failure to integrate them with our existing
business, could harm our business, financial condition and
operating results.
From
time to time, we may consider opportunities to acquire other
companies, products or technologies that may enhance our product
platform or technology, expand the breadth of our markets or
customer base, or advance our business strategies. Potential
acquisitions involve numerous risks, including: problems
assimilating the acquired products or technologies; issues
maintaining uniform standards, procedures, controls and policies;
unanticipated costs associated with acquisitions; diversion of
management’s attention from our existing business; risks
associated with entering new markets in which we have limited or no
experience; increased legal and accounting costs relating to the
acquisitions or compliance with regulatory matters; and
unanticipated or undisclosed liabilities of any
target.
We
have no current commitments with respect to any acquisition. We do
not know if we will be able to identify acquisitions we deem
suitable, whether we will be able to successfully complete any such
acquisitions on favorable terms or at all, or whether we will be
able to successfully integrate any acquired products or
technologies. Our potential inability to integrate any acquired
products or technologies effectively may adversely affect our
business, operating results and financial condition.
Our employees, consultants, and other commercial partners may
engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including
non-compliance with regulatory standards and
requirements.
We
are exposed to the risk that our employees, consultants, and other
commercial partners and business associates may engage in
fraudulent or illegal activity. Misconduct by these parties could
include intentional, reckless or negligent conduct or other
unauthorized activities that violate the regulations of the EPA and
non-U.S. regulators, including those laws requiring the reporting
of true, complete and accurate information to such regulators,
manufacturing standards, healthcare fraud and abuse laws and
regulations in the United States and internationally or laws that
require the true, complete and accurate reporting of financial
information or data. Whether or not we are successful in defending
against any legal actions or investigations in connection with any
misconduct attributed to us, we could incur substantial costs,
including legal fees and reputational harm, and divert the
attention of management in defending ourselves against any of these
claims or investigations.
The requirements of being a public company may strain our
resources, divert management’s attention and affect our
ability to attract and retain executive management and qualified
board members.
We have
and likely will continue to incur significant legal, accounting and
other expenses as a public company subject to the reporting
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX, the Dodd–Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and other applicable
rules and regulations. Our management and other personnel devote a
substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives.
Moreover, these rules and regulations have increased our legal and
financial compliance costs and will make some activities more
time-consuming and costly. For example, applicable rules and
regulations could make it more difficult for us to attract and
retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, or the
Board, or as executive officers.
In
addition, SOX requires, among other things, that we maintain
effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure
controls and procedures. Our testing, or the potential subsequent
testing by our independent registered public accounting firm in
future periods, may reveal deficiencies in our internal control
over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses.
Our compliance with Section 404 of SOX may require that we incur
substantial expense and expend significant management time on
compliance-related issues. Moreover, if our independent registered
public accounting firm identifies deficiencies in our internal
control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material
weaknesses, the market price of our stock could decline, and we
could be subject to sanctions or investigations by regulatory
authorities, which would require additional financial and
management resources.
61
When
we are no longer a “smaller reporting company,” we will
be subject to additional reporting requirements as a public
company. We expect that we will incur increased legal, accounting
and other costs as we continue to improve existing, and implement
new, operational and financial systems, procedures and controls to
prepare for and comply with these additional
requirements.
As a
result of disclosure of information, our business and financial
condition are more visible, which we believe may result in
threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and other
third parties. If such claims are successful, our business and
operating results could be adversely affected. Even if the claims
do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these
claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could
divert the resources of our management and adversely affect our
business and operating results.
Risk Related to Our Securities
Our stock price is volatile and there is a limited market for our
shares.
The
stock markets generally have experienced, and will probably
continue to experience, extreme price and volume fluctuations that
have affected the market price of the shares of many small-cap
companies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated to the
operating results of such companies and in recent times have been
exasperated by investors’ concerns stemming from the COVID-19
Pandemic. Factors that may affect the volatility of our stock price
include the following:
●
anticipated
or actual fluctuations in our quarterly or annual operating
results;
●
our
success, or lack of success, in developing and marketing our
products and services;
●
changes
in general economic, political and market conditions in or any of
the regions in which we conduct our business, including as a result
of the current COVID-19 outbreak and related governmental
responses;
●
our
ability to raise the required capital to fund our
business;
●
changes
in financial estimates by us or of securities or industry
analysts;
●
the
issuance of new or updated research reports by securities or
industry analysts
●
the
announcement of new products, services, or technological
innovations by us or our competitors;
●
changes
in our executive leadership;
●
regulatory
developments in our industry affecting us, our customers or our
competitors;
●
competition;
and
●
the
sale or attempted sale of a large amount of common
stock.
We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable
future.
We have not paid dividends on our common stock
since inception. The continued operation and expansion of
our business will require substantial funding. Accordingly, we
currently intend to retain earnings, if any, for use in the
business and we do not
anticipate that we will pay any cash dividends on shares of our common
stock for the foreseeable future. Any determination to pay
dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board and
will depend upon results of operations, financial condition,
contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law
and other factors our Board deems relevant. Investors seeking cash
dividends should not purchase our common stock. Accordingly,
realization of a gain on your investment will depend on the
appreciation of the price of our common stock, which may never
occur.
62
We have a substantial number of options, warrants and convertible
preferred stock outstanding, which could give rise to additional
issuances of our common stock and potential dilution of ownership
to existing shareholders.
As of September 30, 2020, we had outstanding options, warrants and
convertible preferred stock to purchase approximately an aggregate
of 1.9 million shares of our common stock at exercise or conversion
prices ranging from $0.80 to $8.40 per share. Of these,
approximately 101,250 represent shares underlying options with
exercise prices ranging from $0.80 to $4.40 per share,
approximately 1.7 million represent shares underlying warrants at
exercise prices ranging from $0.64 to $8.40 per share and
approximately 63,750 represent shares underlying our shares of
convertible $0.01 preferred A stock. To the extent any holders of
options, warrants or convertible preferred stock exercise the same,
the issuance of shares of our common stock upon such exercise will
result in dilution of ownership to existing
shareholders.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or
publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our
stock price and trading volume could decline.
The
trading market for our common stock will rely in part on the
research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish
about us and our business. If one or more of the analysts who cover
us downgrades our common stock or issues other unfavorable
commentary or research the price of our common stock may decline.
If one or more analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails to
publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could
decrease, which in turn could cause the trading price or trading
volume of our common stock to decline and could result in the loss
of all or part of your investment in us.
Substantial future sales of our common stock, or the perception in
the public markets that these sales may occur, may depress our
stock price.
Our common
stock is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market and, despite certain
increases of trading volume from time to time, there have been
periods when our common stock could be considered thinly-traded,
meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our
common stock at or near bid prices at any given time may be
relatively small. Equity or equity-related financing transactions
that result in a large amount of newly issued shares that become
readily tradable, or sales of significant numbers of shares by
current shareholders, have placed, and in the future could place,
downward pressure on the trading price of our stock. In addition,
during times of lower trading volume, a shareholder who desires to
sell a large number of shares of common stock may need to sell the
shares in increments over time to mitigate any adverse impact of
the sales on the market price of our stock.
If
our shareholders sell, or the market perceives that our
shareholders intend to sell, substantial amounts of our common
stock in the public market, the market price of our common stock
could fall. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common
stock may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or
equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we
deem reasonable or appropriate. In the event that the price of our
stock falls, we may become involved in securities class action
litigation that could divert management’s attention and harm
our business.
In
the future, we may also issue our securities if we need to raise
additional capital or in connection with acquisitions. The number
of shares of our common stock issued in connection with a financing
or acquisition could constitute a material portion of our
then-outstanding shares of our common stock.
63
We have recently listed on the NASDAQ
Capital Market and may not be able to maintain compliance with
NASDAQ’s standards to maintain listing on the
exchange, which could limit
shareholders’ ability to trade our common
stock.
As
a listed company on the NASDAQ Capital Market, we are required to
meet certain financial, public float, bid price and liquidity
standards on an ongoing basis in order to continue the listing of
our common stock. If we fail to meet these continued listing
requirements, our common stock may be subject to delisting, which
could materially impact the liquidity of our common stock making it
more challenging to buy and sell shares of our common
stock.
We are a “smaller reporting company” under the U.S.
federal securities laws, and the reduced reporting requirements
applicable to smaller reporting companies could make our common
stock less attractive to investors.
We
are a “smaller reporting company” under U.S. federal
securities laws. For as long as we continue to be a smaller
reporting company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various
reporting requirements that are applicable to other public
companies that are not smaller reporting companies. Investors may
not find our common stock attractive because we may rely on these
exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive
as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our
common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
Our anti-takeover provisions could prevent or delay a change in
control of our company, even if such change in control would be
beneficial to our shareholders.
Provisions
of our articles of incorporation, as amended, and amended bylaws as
well as provisions of Florida law could discourage, delay or
prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of our
company, even if such change in control would be beneficial to our
shareholders. These include: maintaining authorized but unissued
shares of our capital stock that could be issued by our Board to
increase the number of outstanding shares and thwart a takeover
attempt; no provision for the use of cumulative voting for the
election of directors; maintaining a staggered board, limiting the
speed at which our shareholders may replace our entire Board, and
limiting the ability of our shareholders to call special
meetings.
In
addition, Florida Business Corporation Act, or FBCA, §
607.0902 generally provides that shares acquired in excess of
certain specified thresholds, without first obtaining the approval
of our Board, will not possess any voting rights unless such voting
rights are approved by a majority of our disinterested
shareholders. Additionally, FBCA § 607.0901 requires that,
subject to certain exceptions, any affiliated transaction with a
shareholder that owns more than 15% of the voting shares of the
corporation, referred to as an “interested
shareholder,” receive the approval of either the
corporation’s disinterested directors or a supermajority vote
of disinterested shareholders, or, absent either such approval,
that a statutory “fair price” be paid to the
shareholders in the transaction. The shareholder vote requirement
is in addition to any shareholder vote required under any other
section of the FBCA or our articles of incorporation, as
amended.
The concentration of our common stock ownership with our executive
officers, directors and affiliates will limit your ability to
influence corporate matters.
Our
executive officers, directors and owners of 5% or more of our
outstanding common stock and their respective affiliates
beneficially owned, in the aggregate approximately 26.2% of our
outstanding common stock as of November 13, 2020. This percentage
includes outstanding shares of common stock, convertible preferred
stock, warrant and stock options that are vested and exercisable as
of that date. These shareholders will therefore have significant
influence over management and affairs and over all matters
requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors
and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other
sale of our company or our assets, for the foreseeable future. This
concentrated control will limit our shareholders’ ability to
influence corporate matters and, as a result, we may take actions
that our shareholders do not view as beneficial. This ownership
could negatively affect the value of our common stock.
