BUSINESS

Overview

TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (“TOMI”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” and “us”) is a global company that specializes in disinfection and decontamination essentials using its premier Binary Ionization Technology® (“BIT™”)platform through the manufacturing, licensing, servicing, and selling of its SteraMist® brand of products. SteraMist is a hydrogen peroxide-based mist/fog registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) as a hospital-healthcare and effective broad-spectrum surface disinfectant. Our operating structure consists of four divisions: Hospital-HealthCare, Life Sciences, TOMI Service Network (“TSN®”) and Food Safety. We provide environmental solutions for indoor and outdoor surface and air decontamination. Our mission is to help create a healthier world through the implementation and integration of our state-of-the-art product line and set of services, remaining committed to our motto, Innovating for a Safer World®.

TOMI introduced SteraMist® to the commercial market in June 2013. In June 2015, we successfully registered SteraMist® BIT™ as a hospital-healthcare disinfectant for use as a misting/fogging agent, at which time it became the first EPA-registered hospital-healthcare and general disinfectant registered solution and technology disinfection system on the market.

We have expanded our SteraMist® BIT™ Technology beyond the initial chemical and biological warfare applications to the killing of problem and resistant microorganisms, including spores, in a wide variety of commercial settings. SteraMist® BIT™ is designed to provide fast-acting biological six-log kill (a 99.9999% kill) in even the hardest-to-reach areas, while leaving no residue or noxious fumes.

We currently disinfect and decontaminate a variety of large and small indoor spaces threatened and thought to be threatened by biological pathogens and chemical agents for our domestic and international target markets. SteraMist® is used in the control of the spread of microorganisms and infectious diseases in a variety of use sites under our four (4) divisions, including hospitals, healthcare facilities (acute & chronic care), bio-safety labs of all levels including the most stringent BSL-3 and BSL-4, pharmaceutical (compounding and manufacturing), biodefense, isolation and transfer chambers, bio-safety cabinets (BSCs), food safety and other commercial and residential settings.

We believe we have the potential to become the industry standard in the prevention of transference and the overall solution for the concern regarding the level of healthcare acquired infections around the world, the impact of increased regulatory inspection of cleaning and validation processes for both pharmaceutical and food processing facilities, and the increased concern of bacterial, viral and mold infections that affects our industries, functionality, and communities’ everyday living.

Our Technology

BIT™ was developed in response to Amerithrax, the weaponized anthrax spore attacks that occurred in Washington, D.C. shortly after the September 11, 2001 U.S. terrorist attacks. BIT™ is a patented process that aerosolizes and activates a low concentration hydrogen peroxide solution, producing a fine aqueous mist (0.5-3 um in diameter) that contains a high concentration of Reactive Oxidative Species (“ROS”), mostly hydroxyl radicals (“.OH”). ROS cause damage to pathogenic and resistant organisms, such as bacteria, bacteria spores, viruses, mold spores, other fungi and yeast, via oxidation of proteins carbohydrates, lipids and rendering the building blocks of nature- amino acids, DNA and RNA inactive - leading to cellular death, disruption and/or dysfunction.

Testing detailed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the U.S. Department of Defense demonstrates these hydroxyl radicals, aggressively break the double bonds and other bonds in bacterial spores, biological and chemical warfare agents and neutralize their threat while producing nontoxic by-products. The unique alteration of the chemistry of our solution occurs after our EPA-registered solution passes through a high-energy-atmospheric cold plasma arc, which causes the breaking of the double bond of a hydrogen peroxide molecule, the net result - our .OH hydroxyl radical. This hydroxyl radical is known as Ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (“iHP™”). This patented process allows these hydroxyl radicals to exist in high concentrations without rapidly recombining and losing their reactivity, while seeking to attach with any and all surfaces within the proximity of TOMI’s mist.

The sole active ingredient of BIT™ is a low percentage (7.8%) Hydrogen Peroxide and is represented by the TOMI™ SteraMist® brand of products. Our technology produces a germ-killing aerosol that moves throughout a space like a gas. Our technology is able to efficiently and effectively kill pathogenic and resistant organisms in the air and on the surfaces without damaging delicate equipment or computers, and the only by-product is oxygen and water in the form of humidity. SteraMist® is designed to be easily incorporated into any industry’s current cleaning procedures; is economical, non-corrosive and easy to apply; leaves behind no residues; and requires no manual wiping.

Under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (“FIFRA”), we are required to register with the EPA and certain state regulatory authorities as a seller of pesticides. In June 2015, SteraMist® BIT™ was registered with the EPA as a hospital-healthcare disinfectant and general broad-spectrum surface disinfectant for use as a misting/fogging agent. SteraMist® BIT™ now holds EPA registrations (# 90150-2) for mold control, and air and surface remediation (# 90150-1). In February 2016, we expanded our label with the EPA to include C. diff spores and MRSA, as well as the influenza virus h1n1, which we believe has better positioned us to penetrate all industries including the bio-defense and healthcare industry. In August 2017, our EPA label was further expanded to include efficacy against Salmonella and Norovirus. As of January 27, 2017, our technology is one of 53 of the EPA’s “Registered Antimicrobial Products Effective against Clostridium difficile Spores”, as published on the EPA’s K List. Further, in December 2017, SteraMist® was included in the EPA’s list G (Norovirus), L (Ebola) and M (Avian Flu). Currently, our EPA-registered label in all fifty (50) U.S. states as well as many other countries.

SteraMist® is being used throughout the world and has been demonstrated to reduce certain problem organisms, such as bacterial spores, Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (“VRE”), Clostridium difficile spores (“C. diff”), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (“MERS”) and Ebola Virus Disease (“Ebola”). In U.S. hospitals where SteraMist® is being used for terminal cleaning, evidence has demonstrated a reduction of C. diff spore rates. SteraMist® has reduced outbreaks of nosocomial MDRO’s (Klebsiella pneumoniae, AB, pseudomonas aeruginosa) at large hospital to small clinics and has contributed to the control of MERS and Ebola throughout the world.

Our technology passed a sanctioned test showing six-log reduction against Geobacillus stearothermophilus. Geobacillus stearothermophilus is the laboratory testing gold standard and is commonly used as a challenge organism for sterilization validation studies and periodic check of sterilization cycles. In May 2015, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded us a grant in the amount of $559,000 for the development of SteraMist™ Mobile Decontamination Chambers to fight Ebola. In May 2016, upon the decontamination and decommissioning of an Ebola treatment center in West Africa, we fully achieved the milestones upon which the grant was conditioned. Additionally, BIT™ has also been shown to effectively decontaminate weaponized biological agents, including anthrax, chemical agents such as VX (an extremely toxic organophosphate) and sulfur mustard (otherwise known as mustard gas) when applied using properly developed international protocols.

All our SteraMist® products are fully validated to comply with good manufacturing practice standards, have received Conformité Européene (“CE”) marks in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and are approved by Underwriters Laboratory (“UL”). Our solution is manufactured at an EPA-registered solution blender and our product performance is supported by good laboratory practice efficacy data for Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella, Norovirus, mold spores, MRSA, h1n1, Geobacillus stearothermophilus and C. diff spores.

Our Products and Services

SteraMist Surface Unit

Our SteraMist Surface Unit is a fully portable, handheld, point and spray disinfection/decontamination system intended to provide quick turnover of any affected space. The single applicator unit enables disinfection of all surfaces, including high touch, sensitive equipment and electronics. An application time of only five seconds per square foot and seven-minute contact time allows for safe re-entering of the space within minutes after applying the iHP mist.

Our SteraMist Surface Unit is lightweight, easy to transport and capable of achieving reliable disinfection/decontamination results, as it is easily incorporated into existing cleaning procedures and protocols. It can be used as a standalone hospital terminal clean product or as an adjunct to ultraviolet disinfection and is a perfect solution to exit and entry barrier points of a facility. The SteraMist Surface Unit does not require heating, ventilation or air conditioning systems to be shut down. Further, its touchless application (no wipe, no rinse) reduces risk of cross-contamination between treated surfaces.

SteraMist Environment System

Our SteraMist Environment System is a transportable, remotely-controlled (robotic) system that provides complete room disinfection/decontamination of a sealed space up to 103.8 m3 (3,663 ft3) in just over 75 minutes (application, contact, and aeration time). Individually, each remote applicator can be used to treat a space of approximately 34.6 m3 (1,221 ft3). Injection times are based on individual room size and number of applicators. Multiple SteraMist Environment Systems can be used simultaneously to accommodate larger or multiple spaces with fast application and minimal down time. Our hybrid technology applicators can be used in both manual and/or fogging modes.

Our SteraMist Environment System features additional programmable and printable features in PDF format. Other key features include lot # of BIT Solution, location identifier, injection/dwell/aeration times, and error notifications.

The E-Z SteraMist Disinfection Cart

The E-Z Cart was designed by request of multiple public healthcare facilities EVS (Environmental Service) teams using our equipment for the SHIELD study that TOMI is participating in. The cart houses our Surface Unit, a portable H2O2 monitor, Carbon Air Scrubber, MaxAir Helmet Respiratory Protection System with positive pressure air flow, storage hooks, and a sign notifying the room is being treated. Included with the E-Z Cart is a custom ICU 45-minute terminal cleaning protocol.

SteraMist Select Surface Unit

Our Select Unit was designed to meet the needs of our customers who have smaller enclosures in need of decontamination. This unit is lightweight and easy to transport with the added ability to function between a lower flow operation and standard operation, such as the SteraMist Surface Unit. The user can adjust air flow, adjust pump fluid flow, set the programmable timer for automatic runs, modify spray/dwell times and number of cycles, and is equipped with start and stop buttons.

Stainless Steel 90 Degree Applicator

TOMI’s standard applicator was converted to a 90 degree and manufactured using 316 stainless steel, the ideal applicator to accompany the Select Surface Unit, affording many 90-degree build-in opportunities. This applicator can be purchased with a flange for ease of installation either permanently or semi-permanently.

SteraMist Permanent iHP Complete Disinfection Room

The SteraMist Permanent iHP Disinfection Room is an automated system that is plumbed utilizing the facilities’ existing HVAC system. This involves permanently installing SteraMist applicators within the designated space to achieve maximum results. The generator and Programmable Logic Control (PLC) are housed in a National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) enclosure in a central remote location. The entire system can be developed for multiple rooms and various specifications, controlled remotely through the NEMA interface. The status of the decontamination cycle is monitored with indicators and can be integrated into a Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) monitoring board.

iHP Plasma Decontamination Chamber

With prior approval our patented cold plasma technology can be integrated with a chamber or cage washer by competitive manufacturers. Current examples are Lynx and BetterBuilt. The photo demonstrates our IHP Decontamination Chamber built into a lab at the University of Houston. Our custom generator/chamber is built into a stainless-steel single door panel and is permanently mounted next to the chamber or washer, while a SteraMist applicator is permanently or semi-permanently mounted in the enclosure. This SteraMist product line includes but is not limited to an internally mounted air compressor, regulator for air pressure adjustment, E-stop button, lever power switch, data logging functions, and multiple dry contract outputs determined by the needs of the customer.

iHP Service Decontamination

TOMI offers full room, equipment, facility, and emergency disinfection/decontamination services. Our goal is to reduce bioburden and eliminate the potential for costly microbial contamination preventing laboratory outbreaks. If a lab is dealing with a current outbreak TOMI’s iHP service will contain and prevent future outbreaks. Single and routine services are provided to TOMI customers to coincide with maintenance, mandatory facility shut downs, or to control a specific threat.

● The SteraMist systems are versatile and easy to maintain with relatively low upkeep. In fact, preventive maintenance is not required to be performed by a service engineer and remote guidance can be provided upon request.

Industries & Market Segments

We believe that our technology, service, and product offerings provide a significant opportunity to help reduce the spread of Community Associated and Healthcare-Acquired Infections (“HAI’s”).

SteraMist® and TOMI’s related service platforms are currently being used in a broad spectrum of industries, including but not limited to:

● Pharmaceutical companies

● Clean rooms

● Hospitals & medical facilities

● Bio-safety labs

● Tissue labs

● Vivariums

Life Sciences. Our SteraMist® line of products is a decontamination solution to use sites in this industry, specifically pharmaceutical (compounding and manufacturing), vivariums, research universities, BSLs of any level, BSC’s, chambers, isolators, cage washers, and cleanrooms. With proper implementation SteraMist® can reduce the risk of infectious as well as potentially infectious agents and/or materials, facilities such as these handle on a routine basis.

There are many requirements and restrictions on the type of decontamination agents our Life Sciences customers may use to prevent these risks and remediate adverse incidents. In light of these regulations, our rapid deployment of our effective ionized hydrogen peroxide aerosolized mist is the solution to lower risks, reduce damage to expensive laboratory equipment and furniture, eliminate other labor intense procedures, and perform decontamination clean-up in these spaces quickly, less caustically, requiring no wipe and with no residue.

Our team of technicians and representatives train, maintain, and troubleshoot capital equipment globally for our Life Sciences customers. Further, our iHP™ service decontamination team provides routine, emergency, and/or commissioning or decommissioning of facilities equipment or full complete space decontamination for its customer base.

Hospital-HealthCare. Our SteraMist® line of products, specifically the SteraMist® Surface Unit and EZ SteraMist Disinfection Cart are solutions to aid our Hospital-HealthCare customers in providing the quality of care and safety they provide to their patients by disinfecting patient and operating rooms, pharmacies, ambulances, and emergency environments in a hospital or healthcare facility. Our team of technicians and representatives train, maintain, and troubleshoot capital equipment throughout the world for our Hospital-HealthCare customers.

We continue to penetrate the hospital-healthcare market segment, and under the United States Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’s (also known as the Affordable Care Act or ACA) Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program, hospitals that have high rates of infections and HAIs are facing significant financial penalties. Our SteraMist® BIT™ technology has proven to reduce the transference spread of infections leading to an overall reduction in the number of patients being infected as a result of the prior poor manual cleaning of these patient rooms, infectious disease rooms and operatory suites, with a corresponding return on investment to the hospital of up to 20-to-1 in the first year. At this time, we cannot predict the effect of any potential healthcare reform legislation, including the potential repeal of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, on such penalties.

The TOMI Service Network. The TSN, has allowed us to enhance our corporate service division by creating a multi-nation-wide network composed of existing, full-service specialists. Since the launch of TSN, we have recruited and entered into eighty-eight (88) licensing agreements across the United States and Canada. These are professional leaders and first responders that specialize within the mold remediation and mitigation fields, bio-safety and biohazard specialists including forensic restoration specialists. These servicing specialists focus their businesses in the commercial and residential space. Our team of TSN Business Managers and SteraMist® technicians train, maintain and troubleshoot capital equipment for these individuals with the goal of implementing servicing procedures and protocols throughout the United States and Canada for our TSN network members.

In September 2018, we partnered with the Global BioRisk Advisory Council (“GBAC”) to use SteraMist® as one of the training technologies used in their certification classes. This also allows for the decontamination of everyday crises as well as forensic restoration and bio-hazard scenes as needed. TOMI also launched the Forensic Restoration Service Team (or “FRST”), a U.S. based TOMI-certified forensic restoration and crime clean network. This network is comprised of service providers who specialize in forensic restoration such as mass casualty, crime scene, suicide and unattended death cleanup. Also included within this field are hoarding and bio-recovery services. Participating FRST members will receive specialized training and certifications by GBAC. We have four (4) certified FRST members to date.

Food Safety Industry. SteraMist™ is an effective decontaminant in the food safety industry. According to the CDC, 80 million people per year in the United States contract, and 5,000 people die from, food poisoning or other food-related illnesses. Current food safety cleaning techniques involve time intensive processes, which can reduce food manufacturers’ profit. Our iHP™ degrades into only harmless water and oxygen. After we obtain approval by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) and the United States Department of Agriculture (the “USDA”), we anticipate that our solution can be applied directly to all foods. Currently we use SteraMist on all food packing and storage equipment as SteraMist® is safe for use on electronics and kitchenware, along with high touch surfaces where most pathogens are found (such as phones, computers and kitchen appliances). We believe that SteraMist® could be useful for decontamination at all phases of food production, from the farm, slaughterhouse, packaging and canning facilities, food storage locations to the transportation of food and to the restaurants and grocery stores.

Medical Cannabis. TOMI is looking to enter the global medical and recreational cannabis market. Currently we are researching how the BIT Solution and the iHP process can be used to rid the cannabis plant of the following:

- Powdery Mildew (odium, white mold)

- Spider Mites, Thrips, Root Aphids & Fungus Gnats

- Bud Rot (Botrytis cinerea)

- Load counts on coliform, microbes, bacteria, e. coli and other molds.

- Direct plant application, soil application and whole room application

- Residuals left on the plant

All tests will also include whether or not the process affects the THC and Cannabinoid levels of the plant.

SteraMist® can be used in cannabis facilities globally upping the industry standard of disinfecting areas between grows. For example, the cannabis drying/curing/cloning/grow rooms, manufacturing/packaging areas, on-site laboratories, storage rooms, and employee restrooms and locker rooms. According to the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce analysts forecast the projected 2019 sale of both medical and recreational cannabis in North America is currently being estimated to reach $7 billion in Canada and $4.5 billion in the United States, with the expectation of the U.S. market doubling the Canadian market in sales if a full federal legalization is passed by 2020.

Homeland Defense and Border Protection. Countries around the world, including the United States, need to protect their borders and cities against a potential terrorist attack. Our SteraMist® line of products will give governmental bodies an added tool in their arsenal to mitigate the risk of a weaponized biological attack. In addition, SteraMist® could assist in mitigating the spread of emerging pandemic viruses, including strains of Ebola, MERS, MLAV, h1n1, h5n1, h7n9 and h10n8. Our SteraMist® line of products may assist border patrol agents in controlling the spread of infectious disease introduced by foreign individuals by decontaminating interview rooms, containment rooms, holding cells and quarantine areas after a potential infected carrier’s condition either improves or the carrier dies.

INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO OUR BUSINESS IN GENERAL

Manufacturing

We outsource the manufacturing and blending of our SteraMist® line of equipment and BIT™ Solution. Our SteraMist® equipment manufacturer is an ISO9001 registered company with facilities in Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey.

Our solution is blended by an EPA approved blender; our blend includes as the only active ingredients 7.8% Hydrogen Peroxide.

TOMI maintains sole source distribution of all the SteraMist® product lines, including our BIT™ Solution. Neither our manufacturer or chemical blender may make modifications to the manufacturing or blending of our products without our request or consent in written format. TOMI maintains all creative control throughout the design and manufacturing process, which includes research & development through final product fabrication.

Intellectual Property

Our success depends in part upon our ability to obtain and maintain proprietary protection for our products and technologies. We protect our technology and products by, among other means, obtaining United States and foreign patents. There can be no assurance, however, that any patent will provide adequate protection for the technology, system, product, service or process it covers. In addition, the process of obtaining and protecting patents can be long and expensive. We also rely upon trade secrets, technical know-how, and continuing technological innovation to develop and maintain our competitive position.

As part of our intellectual property protection strategy, we have registered our BIT™ solution with the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), all fifty (50) states in the United States, and multiple countries worldwide. We have received Conformité Européene (“CE”) marks in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and are approved by Underwriters Laboratory (“UL”).

We currently hold thirty-four (34) Utility patents across the globe and have submitted for four (4) additional utility patents to the USPTO and a PCT with the International Authorities. Further, we were granted twenty-one (21) design patents, with two (2) additional ones pending approval. Our patents (utility and design) are in countries which include but are not limited to Canada, China, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Belgium, Italy, and Spain. Patents for individual products extend for varying periods according to the date of filing or grant and legal term of patents in various countries where a patent is obtained. The actual protection a patent provides, which can vary from country to country, depends upon the type of patent, the scope of its coverage, and the availability of legal remedies in each country.

Our products are sold around the world under various brand names and trademarks. We consider our brand names and trademarks to be valuable in the marketing of our products. As of December 31, 2018, we had a total of seven (7) trademark registrations in the United States across as many of seven (7) separate classes, many of which are registered in multiple classes, and we have three (3) additional trademark submissions in review with the USPTO. In addition, we hold three (3) of these trademark registrations in various foreign countries in as many as five (5) separate classes, many of which are registered in multiple classes.

Marketing and Distribution

Through our brand awareness, marketing, and sales, our business growth objective is to be a global leader in disinfection and decontamination products, services, and manufacturing. We intend to continue to expand and support research and development on other decontamination and remediation solutions (including hydroxyl radicals and other ROS), and to form more business alliances with strategic partners.

We continue to perform decontamination services within cleanrooms, bio-safety labs, tissue and blood labs, pharmaceutical labs, universities and we continue to secure additional license agreements with major remediation, construction and bio-safety servicing companies. Both of these strategies assist in the brand awareness and use of our suite of products.

We sell our products domestically through our internal sales force, as well as independent sales and manufacturing representatives. Internationally, our products are sold through exclusive and non-exclusive sales representatives and distributors. We have shipped our equipment and solution into twenty (20) countries worldwide.

Competition

The decontamination and environmental infectious disease control industry is extremely competitive and highly regulated. Competition is intense in all four (4) of our divisions and includes many large and small competitors.

Our competitors include companies that market other hydrogen peroxide-based products, such as Steris Corporation (“Steris”), Bioquell, Inc. (“Bioquell”) and The Clorox Company (“Clorox”), various ultraviolet companies and quad ammonia-chemical companies. We believe our SteraMist suite of products have a competitive advantage in that they have a quicker and less caustic kill time, provide a six log kill to a wide variety of pathogens and leave no residue or unpleasant odor. However, these competitors may have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger installed customer bases and substantially greater financial and marketing resources than us.

We believe that the principal factors affecting competition in our markets include name recognition 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. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in this industry, or that future competition will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We believe that our growth in these industries as a leading global disinfection/decontamination company depends on our abilities to discover, develop, market, and innovate, disruptive cost-effective products and services.

Competitive Advantages

We believe the SteraMist® technology has many competitive advantages over its competition. Our technology can turn over a space to an end-user far faster than its competition. Our technology requires limited preparation to an area compared to our competitors and does not rely on fans to move throughout a space. Our “.OH” is a small 0.5 to 3-micron particle that receives a charge and can move around an area like a gas, going above, below, and beyond the hardest to reach areas.

Research & Development

We are generating and supporting research on improving, extending and applying our patents in the field of mechanical cleaning and decontamination. Research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, were approximately $916,000 and $454,000, respectively.

Government Regulation

Our business is subject to various degrees of governmental regulation in the countries in which we operate. In the United States, the EPA, the FDA and other governmental authorities regulate the development, manufacture, sale, and distribution of our products and services. Our international operations also are subject to a significant amount of government regulation, including country-specific rules and regulations and U.S. regulations applicable to our international operations. Government regulations include detailed inspection of, and controls over, research and development, product approvals and manufacturing, marketing and promotion, sampling, distribution, record-keeping, storage, and disposal practices. We believe that we are currently compliant in all material respects with applicable regulatory requirements.

Employees

As of March, 15, 2019, we have nineteen (19) full-time executive, operational and administrative employees working within the United States and one (1) consultant. Most of our sales are conducted by global exclusive distribution agreements or domestically by independent manufacturing representatives.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Our business routinely encounters and attempts to address risks, some of which will cause our future results to differ, sometimes materially, from those originally anticipated. Below, we have described our present view of certain important risks. The risk factors set forth below are not the only risks that we may face or that could adversely affect us. If any of the risks discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. If this were to occur, the trading price of our securities could decline significantly. In assessing these risks, investors should also refer to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in our other filings with the SEC.

Risk Related to Our Company and Business

We have experienced losses historically, may be required to obtain additional financing and may never achieve and sustain profitability.

We incurred net losses of approximately $3.2 million and $3.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We may continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future as we continue to develop our products and seek customers and distribution for our products. Even if we achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Further, to finance our product development and grow our business, we may seek funds through borrowings or through additional rounds of financing, including 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.

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. 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. We cannot predict the outcome of any administrative proceedings that may arise.

We are subject to risks related to our international operations and failure to manage these risks may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

A portion of our sales are made to customers outside the United States. As such, we may be denied access to our customers as a result of a closing of the borders of the countries in which we sell our products due to economic, legislative, political and military conditions in such countries. International operations are subject to a number of other inherent risks, and our future results could be adversely affected by a number of factors, including:

●

unfavorable political or economic environments;

●

requirements or preferences for domestic products or solutions, which could reduce demand for our products;

●

differing existing or future regulatory and certification requirements;

●

unexpected legal or regulatory changes;

●

greater difficulty in collecting accounts receivable and longer collection periods;

●

difficulties in enforcing contracts;

●

an inability to effectively protect intellectual property;

●

tariffs and trade barriers, export regulations and other regulatory and contractual limitations on our ability to sell our products; and

●

potentially adverse tax consequences, including multiple and possibly overlapping tax structures.

If we are unable to manage the risks inherent in our international activities, our ability to obtain future revenues may suffer and, consequently, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Our success depends upon third party contractors, suppliers and manufacturers, the disruption of which could negatively impact our business.

We rely upon third parties to supply us with components for 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, which would have a material and adverse effect on our business. Further, any disruption in the manufacturing process could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot ensure that alternative production capacity would be available in the event of a disruption, or if it would be available, it could be obtained on favorable terms.

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. Often, we cannot predict the time and expense required to overcome such problems. If we are unable to introduce new products on our anticipated timeframe, our business, financial condition and results of operations may suffer.

Our success depends on our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property.

In April 2013, we acquired certain assets from L-3 Applied Technologies, Inc. (“L-3”), including patents, trademarks and trade secrets related to BIT™. 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, including, in particular, the intellectual property rights we acquired from L-3. 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, we cannot assure you that the actions we have taken or will take in the future will 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.

We may be unable to enforce our intellectual property rights throughout the world.

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 or other intellectual property rights in any foreign jurisdictions, it may be difficult to stop the infringement of our patents 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.

We may not be able to manage our growth effectively, create operating efficiencies or achieve or sustain profitability.

The ability to manage and operate our business as we execute our growth strategy will require effective planning. Rapid growth could strain our internal resources, which could lead to a lower quality of customer service, reporting problems and delays in meeting important deadlines, resulting in loss of market share and other problems that could adversely affect our reputation and financial performance. Our ability to manage future growth effectively will also require us to continue to update and improve our operational, financial and management controls and procedures. If we do not manage our growth effectively, we could be faced with slower growth and a failure to achieve or sustain profitability.

We face significant competition in our industry, which could significantly limit our growth and materially and adversely affect our financial results.

The decontamination and environmental infectious disease control industry is extremely competitive. The competition includes remediators and disinfection/decontamination companies such as Steris, Bioquell and Clorox, various ultraviolet companies and quad ammonia-chemical companies. These competitors may have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger installed customer bases and substantially greater financial and marketing resources than us. We believe that the principal factors affecting competition in our markets include name recognition 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. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in the remediation industry, or that future competition will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our success depends upon broad market acceptance of our technology that has not yet been achieved.

Our BIT technology is relatively new, having received EPA registration in mid-2015. 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 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 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. Given our relatively recent entry into the decontamination industry, we depend to a significant degree on our ability to attract, retain and motivate quality personnel.

Competition for highly-skilled personnel is often intense in the United States. We may not be successful in attracting, integrating or retaining qualified personnel to fulfill our current or future needs.

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.

Certain of our products may be hazardous if not deployed properly. 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 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 Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“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 (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.

As a result of disclosure of information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and in filings required of a public company, 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. Factors that may affect the volatility of our stock price include the following:

● our success, or lack of success, in developing and marketing our products and services;

● our ability to raise the required capital to fund our business;

● the announcement of new products, services, or technological innovations by us or our competitors;

● changes in our executive leadership;

● quarterly fluctuations of our operating results;

● changes in revenue or earnings; and

● competition.

Moreover, the OTCQX Best Marketplace (“OTCQX”) is a trading platform, and trading of securities quoted on the OTCQX is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a national securities exchange like The NASDAQ Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange. Even if we were to seek to list our securities on a national securities exchange, there is no assurance we will be able to do so, and if we do so, many of these same forces and limitations may still impact our trading volumes and market price in the near term. Additionally, the sale or attempted sale of a large amount of common stock into the market may also have a significant impact on the trading price of our 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.

Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC, and trading in our securities is very limited, which makes transactions in our common stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our securities.

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that is not listed on a qualified national securities exchange and that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Historically, shares of our common stock have traded on the OTCQX at a price of less than $5.00 per share and, as a result, our common stock is considered a “penny stock” by the SEC and subject to rules adopted by the SEC regulating broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act requires that a broker-dealer must:

●

approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and

●

receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

●

obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and

●

make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market that:

●

sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and

●

provides that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

Additionally, the investor must receive disclosure about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our securities.

While we intend to apply to list our common stock on a national securities exchange, the exchange may not approve our listing and, if approved, our common stock may not continue to trade on such exchange.

We intend to apply to list our common stock on a national securities exchange. As such, we will need to satisfy certain qualitative and quantitative requirements in order to successfully list our common stock on such an exchange. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the applicable requirements for such initial listing or that our application will be approved.

If our listing application is approved, we will be required to comply with certain listing requirements of such exchange, which may include compliance with certain requirements with respect to our corporate governance, finances, stock trading volume and stock price. If we fail to meet any of these requirements, such exchange may take steps to delist our common stock. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of our common stock and would adversely affect the ability to sell or purchase our common stock. Further, even if we successfully apply to list our common stock on a national exchange, we cannot assure you that an orderly and active trading market in our common stock will ever develop or be sustained.

We have a substantial number of options, warrants and convertible debt outstanding, which could give rise to additional issuances of our common stock and potential dilution of ownership to existing shareholders.

As of December 31, 2018, we had outstanding options and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 26.9 million shares of our common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.05 to $2.10 per share. Of these, 320,000 represent shares underlying options with exercise prices ranging from $0.05 to $2.10 per share and 26.6 million represent shares underlying warrants at exercise prices ranging from $0.08 to $1.00 per share. To the extent any holders of options or warrants exercise same, the issuance of shares of our common stock upon such exercise will result in dilution of ownership to existing shareholders. Additionally, as a result of our 2017 financing, with a remaining principal balance of $5,000,000 (See Note 6—Convertible Debt), the promissory notes issued are convertible at $0.54 per share into an aggregate of 9,259,250 shares of common stock, if fully converted. If we fail to pay the notes on or before the revised maturity dates of April 3, 2020, the notes may be convertible at $0.11 per share into an aggregate of 45,454,545 common shares. As part of the original transaction, we also issued warrants to purchase up to an additional 999,998 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.69 per share.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations relates to the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this report.

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 mist/fog.

In response to the 2001 Anthrax spore attacks, the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (“DARPA”) and a leading defense company, Titan Corporation, developed BIT™ to defend against chemical and biological agents under a DARPA grant. In June 2005, L-3 Communications, Inc. (“L-3 Communications”) a leading defense company, acquired the technology through the acquisition of Titan Corporation. In 2011, TOMI recognized the importance of this disruptive and innovative technology and, after two years of negotiations, won the right to purchase the technology from L-3 Communications. Subsequently, we began the long process of registering BIT™ with the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), using good laboratory practice testing. TOMI introduced SteraMist™ to the commercial market in June 2013, using our inherited and pre-existing EPA mold label. In June 2015, we successfully registered SteraMist™ BIT™ as a hospital-healthcare disinfectant and broad-spectrum general use disinfectant for use as a misting/fogging agent, at which time our technology became the first EPA-registered hospital-healthcare disinfectant solution and equipment on the market. TOMI proudly maintains this registration and we continuously update our label with additional pathogens.

TOMI’s cold plasma technology produces ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (iHP™, a mist/fog consisting of Reactive Oxygen Species, mainly hydroxyl radicals (“.OH”). This technology converts TOMI’s BIT™ solution, which contains only one active ingredient, a low-percentage hydrogen peroxide solution to .OH by passing it through an atmospheric cold plasma arc.

Markets

TOMI’s SteraMist™ products are designed to address multiple industries with various needs. Our operations are organized into four main divisions based on our current target industries: Life Sciences, Hospital-Healthcare, TOMI Service Network and Food Safety.

TOMI is committed to customer satisfaction and client retention in all of our divisions both domestically and internationally. Our core values revolve around our commitment to the reduction of harmful pathogens and combating public health threats worldwide, which are evidence by our motto of Innovating for a Safer World®.

Regulation and Registrations

Under United States federal guidelines, TOMI is required to register with the EPA and certain state regulatory authorities as a seller of solution and technology. SteraMist™ BIT™ holds EPA registrations both as a hospital-healthcare and general disinfectant (EPA Registration 90150-2) and for mold control air and surface remediation (EPA Registration 90150-1). In February 2016, we expanded our label with the EPA to include C. diff spores. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and influenza virus h1n1. In August 2017, our EPA label was further expanded to include efficacy against Salmonella and Norovirus. As of January 2017, our product line is one of fifty-three (53) published products on the EPA’s “Registered Antimicrobial Products Effective against Clostridium difficile spores”, the EPA’s K List. In December 2017, SteraMist® earned publications on EPA Lists G, L and M, which pertain to norovirus, Ebola, and avian influenza (h1n1), respectively. Since 2016, the SteraMist™ BIT™ EPA-registered label has been accepted in all 50 U.S. states, and over 20 countries worldwide including the EU, Canada and Taiwan which registrations we continue to maintain.

We have expanded our SteraMist® BIT™ Technology beyond the initial chemical and biological warfare applications to resistant microorganisms (including spores) in a wide variety of commercial and residential settings. SteraMist® BIT™ is designed to provide fast-acting biological six-log reduction, which is a 99.9999% kill, and works in hard-to-reach areas, leaving no residue, requiring no manual wiping, and leaves behind no noxious fumes.

All of the SteraMist® products are fully validated to comply with good manufacturing practice standards, have received CE marks in the European Economic Area and are approved by UL. Our solution is manufactured at an EPA-registered solution blender and our products are manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified facility.

Products

We continue to offer our customers a wide range of innovative products designed to be easily incorporated into their existing disinfection and decontamination procedures. In addition, we offer equipment installations, qualifications, and performance maintenance needs all of which are structured to address iHP® service disinfection and decontamination needs globally.

Divisions

Life Sciences

TOMI’s SteraMist®. Environment System, iHP Decontamination Complete Room, SteraMist® Select Surface Unit, iHP™ implementation to decontamination chambers and cage washers, and our iHP® Service Division, are designed to provide a complete room solution to address the regulatory inspections of disinfecting/decontaminating and validation processes within the life sciences industry.

Hospital-Healthcare

In 2018, TOMI launched the E-Z SteraMist® Disinfection Cart, an all-in-one cart that houses our handheld point-and-spray SteraMist® Surface Unit as well as accompanying supplies. This product is designed to make the terminal cleaning process of patient rooms more efficient than traditional manual cleaning methods. We believe that our E-Z SteraMist™ Disinfection Cart will allow our customers within the Hospital-Healthcare industry to address the growing concern regarding the increasing high level of transference of pathogens including multiple drug resistant organisms (MDRO’s) leading to HAI’s from hospital and healthcare related environmental surfaces and equipment to patients and healthcare workers.

TOMI Service Network

TSN is our network comprised of outside professionals who are exclusively licensed and trained to use the SteraMist® products. TSN sells, trains and services professional remediation companies in the use of SteraMist®. These companies specialize in mold abatement, water damage (including damage from CAT 1 though 3 water loss) and fire damage, as well as professional specialists that are certified and practice in the area of forensic restoration. Currently, TSN is comprised of eighty-eight (88) such companies throughout the United States and Canada. TSN members use SteraMist® as a standalone service as well as incorporating our products into their existing business models. TOMI derives a continuous revenue stream from our TSN customers through recurring purchases of our BIT™ solution.

Our TSN network continues to grow and currently the total number of TSN provider contracts fully executed to date is eighty-eight (88), expanding our network membership across thirty-five (35) U.S. States and two (2) Canadian provinces. Our service providers have a total of one hundred and eleven (111) SteraMist® Surface Units and forty-two (42) SteraMist® Environment Systems in the field allowing for rapid deployment at a moment’s notice.

Food Safety

In 2017, TOMI launched a Food Safety division. Food safety is quickly becoming one of our largest targeted markets, as we believe it presents a clear potential for substantial growth. This is in light of the implementation and enforcement of new and existing rules in the United States under the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act and in Canada under the Safe Food for Canadians Act and the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations, the latter two of which became effective in January 2019. This is in part due to this increased focus on concerns within the food safety industry in North America and abroad. We have consultants submitting to the EPA and FDA a request to expand our current labels from the treatment of food processing machinery, restaurants and food contact areas, to include direct food and crop applications.

We intend to target the following segments, with an initial emphasis on the profitable organic market:

●

Growing crops

●

Seeds

●

Packaging facilities

●

Food storage (produce, meats, fish)

●

Food transportation vehicle’s

●

Food processing

●

Cannabis

In each area, our main objective is to prevent and/or minimize food decay without utilizing harsh chemicals that leave toxic residues. This could create an opportunity to supplement, or replace, current pesticides and fungicides currently being used by these industry leaders.

With regards to the Food Safety industry, we believe that the routine treatment of tractor trailers and shipping containers will reduce pathogen cross-contamination between cargo shipments. This is a high priority within this market based on volume and potential. In 2018, we treated specific rooms utilized by a global distributor with regards to their apple storage and lemon shelf life. In both decontamination situations SteraMist successfully demonstrated a clear pathogen reduction.

Business Highlights and Recent Events

During 2018 management was focused on allocating significant resources into research and product development, raising brand awareness through marketing and advertising initiatives, expanding our internal and external sales infrastructure, increasing product registrations, expanding our operational bandwidth with development of our new facility and growing our revenue and customer list.

Research and product development:

During 2018 we executed on our R&D initiatives in Healthcare, Life Science and Food Safety areas and further developed the line of products we offer. Our R&D expenses increased in 2018 by approximately 102% compared to prior year as a result of the 2018 initiatives and product development.

On the product development front, in 2018 we developed the following three new lines of product:

EZ SteraMist® Cart - offers our Hospital-Healthcare customers a more efficient way to perform a terminal clean of their patient rooms. The EZ SteraMist® Cart was introduced in the third quarter of 2018 in connection with the Shield Study.

SteraMist® Select Surface Unit - developed for our customers who have smaller enclosures in need of decontamination. This unit is lightweight and easy to transport with the added ability to function between a lower flow operation and standard operation, such as the SteraMist Surface Unit. The user can adjust air flow, adjust pump fluid flow, set the programmable timer for automatic runs, modify spray/dwell times and number of cycles, and is equipped with start and stop buttons

Stainless Steel 90-Degree Applicator - rolled out in the third quarter of 2018 and provides a solution for applications needs for small enclosures and very tight spaces.

Environment System software and reporting upgrades – the upgrades include PDF printing capabilities and allows for reports to be generated providing our Life Sciences customers with the necessary information to be cGMP compliant.

Research studies

We continue to participate in a large study, a “SHIELD study”, that compares hospital manual cleans to a SteraMist® mechanical clean. This study is being conducted at Los Angeles Public Health Hospitals; UCLA Olive View Medical Center, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. Preliminary results have shown that there has been a significant 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. Future results will be released as obtained from the study’s lead investigators.

The initial results received from the SHIELD study directly led to the partnership between TOMI and MaxAir formed in 2018. TOMI developed a terminal clean protocol that is less than one hour. MaxAir developed a purifying respiratory protection helmet, this high-tech helmet pushes 6-liters of cool clean air to the face of the hospital Environmental Service employees and outside service providers during TOMI’s hospital terminal clean protocol.

TOMI and one of our corporate partners have continued agricultural testing with the USDA to determine the efficacy of SteraMist® against viral threats to honey bees and hives. Initial results from such testing suggest that SteraMist® may be effective in inactivating such virus threating this particular vertical.

In the third quarter of 2018, a major global agricultural seed distributor began testing the efficacy of SteraMist® against common viral, fungal and bacterial threats to corn seeds and various other large and small seeds of size. While testing continues into 2019, to the extent the results indicate clear efficacy, we intend to pursue all available opportunities within the seed development industry.

As for direct crop application, we are targeting those crops grown indoors, in particular, high value crops such as vegetables, mushrooms and cannabis. Additionally, with the help of strategic corporate partners, we have conducted tests and obtained positive preliminary results from the application of SteraMist® to a particular pathogen that is a current threat to the mushrooms industry.

During 2018, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) published and identified SteraMist® as the only “Disinfecting solution and technology” in its 2016–2017 “WHO compendium of innovative health technologies for low-resource settings”. As part of the selection process, 562 technologies were evaluated by 35 internal WHO staffers and 87 external independent reviewers, who presented no conflict of interest. Once these evaluations were received and the data compiled, a total of 39 prototypes and 29 commercially available products were selected and presented in the compendium in order to illustrate the innovative technologies that can empower healthcare workers with the goal of supporting people and patients to have a healthier life. SteraMist was the only disinfecting technology cited.

Registrations:

In 2018, we received our Taiwan Registration and added our Canadian label to the Organic Materials Review Institute (“OMRI”) certifying that our product follows Canadian organic standards adding to our already robust BIT Solution registrations.

Marketing and Advertising Campaigns:

In early 2018 we established a plan to increase our marketing and advertising initiatives in order to further build brand awareness. As a result of our digital campaigns that were carried out in 2018, our website statistics have improved significantly from 2017 to 2018. With our continual efforts in advertising within targeted publications, Google search engine optimized campaigns, and organic brand awareness built by our team we further increased our digital footprint. We have increased our 2017 to 2018 digital advertising in publications impressions. Our marketing director continues to focus on digital campaigns to drive users to TOMI’s website with the goal of creating higher lead conversations.

During 2018 we also attended fifty-two (52) national, state and local tradeshows and conferences to increase our growing base of sales leads and further build brand awareness. Our increased tradeshow presence has increased our leads, sales opportunities and has resulted in growth in our sales pipeline for 2019.

Personnel:

In January 2018, we appointed our new Chief Operating Officer, Elissa Shane, who had previously served us in other roles for several years, and in January 2018, we announced the appointment of Dr. Lim Boh Soon to our Board.

In 2018, we allocated resources into building our sales infrastructure, training on our products and equipment and expanding our internal and sales representative presence. We grew our overall sales force in 2018 compared to 2017 from (2) to (5) dedicated internal full-time dedicated sales personnel and from (26) in 2017 to (56) independent sales representatives in the U.S. We added consultants to assist with building brand awareness while also providing sales and technical support. Internationally, we continuously build our presence by the addition of distributors and representatives throughout Asia, Australia, Europe and South America.

In addition, we also continued to build internal base of employees by increasing our overall full-time employee headcount from 13 to 19 or by approximately 46% in 2018.

Facilities:

Management also focused and allocated resources in 2018 on building our internal operating infrastructure and bandwidth. In February 2018 we announced the relocation of our U.S. corporate headquarters, and in April 2018 we finalized our lease for our new facility. Our new state of the art facility is approximately 9,000 square feet and is outfitted with an iHP Decontamination Complete room system, a 40-seat training room, a qualification laboratory, a quality control room and increased warehouse space to accommodate our anticipated growth. Full time business operations were moved here and began out of this facility in December 2018.

Financial:

On the sales and business development front, we continued to grow our customer base and build revenue in 2018. Since bringing SteraMist® to the commercial market, we have added approximately 300 customers. During 2018, we added 65 customers and sold 85 machines which includes 2 Permanent iHP Complete Disinfection Rooms that were installed during the year.

Our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $5,584,612 and $4,993,668, respectively, representing a 12% year over year increase. Q3 2018 was a record quarter with revenues of $1,948,000.

Internationally, our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were $1,388,000 and $1,499,000, respectively. While regulatory and product registrations have slowed our anticipated growth in Asia and Europe, we continue to make strides in the registration process, which we anticipate will position us to generate additional revenue in those regions.

During 2018, we experienced a year over year 14% increase in our reoccurring BIT Solution sales due to higher repeat orders from our existing customer base. As our user base grows, we expect this metric to improve over time.

Recently, TOMI was audited by Pfizer Global Supply Manufacturing and Supplier Quality Assessments and were reported to be “Acceptable”, the highest given rank, allowing us to continue expanding SteraMist® implementation into Pfizer facilities.

In 2018, we finalized our Installation & Performance Qualification documentation allowing for an additional avenue to generate company revenue. Along with this document we formalized User Requirement Specifications for our SteraMist equipment.

In May 2018, we offered a noteholder the option to convert its Note at a reduced conversion price of $0.46. The noteholder accepted and converted at such price. Pursuant to the terms of the conversion offer, an aggregate of $700,000 of principal and $5,212 of accrued interest outstanding under the Note were converted into 1,877,960 shares of common stock. The Company 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 transacti

Intellectual Property (IP):

Since TOMI’s inception we have continuously advanced our intellectual property portfolio. Currently we hold a variety of intellectual property both domestically and internationally - registered design and utility patents as well as registered trademarks that include both word and image marks registered across four separate classes. TOMI continues to maintain and renew a total of thirty-four (34) patents and seven (7) trademarks. Since 2017, TOMI added a total of sixteen (16) patents and fifteen (15) trademarks and is waiting for acceptance of eight (8) additional patents, including two (2) Utility Patents, and seven (7) additional registered trademarks.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimation process requires assumptions to be made about future events and conditions, and as such, is inherently subjective and uncertain. Actual results could differ materially from our estimates.

The SEC defines critical accounting policies as those that are, in management’s view, most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and most demanding of our judgment. We consider the following policies to be critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements and the uncertainties associated with the complex judgments made by us that could impact our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

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

Disaggregation of Revenue

Product revenue includes sales from our standard and customized equipment, solution and accessories sold with our equipment. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services.

Service and training revenue include sales from our high-level decontamination and service engagements, validation of our equipment and technology and customer training. Service revenue is recognized as the agreed upon services are rendered to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those services.

Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer

We apply a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract with a customer when the amortization period would have been one year or less. We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within sales and marketing expenses. These costs include our internal sales force compensation program and certain partner sales incentive programs as we have determined annual compensation is commensurate with annual sales activities.

Contract Balances

As of December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, 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 he control of the promised products or services is transferred to the customer and the amount of consideration to be received in exchange for the products and services.

Fair Value Measurement

The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following:

Level1:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level2:

Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data or substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level3:

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities.

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and convertible debt. All these items were determined to be Level 1 fair value measurements.

The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The recorded value of convertible debt approximates its fair value as the terms and rates approximate market rates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand held at financial institutions and other liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. At times, these deposits may be in excess of insured limits.

Accounts Receivable

Our accounts receivable are 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. At December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $300,000 and $500,000, respectively.

Inventories

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

We expense costs to maintain certification to cost of goods sold as incurred.

We review inventory on an ongoing basis, considering factors such as deterioration and obsolescence. We record an allowance for estimated losses when the facts and circumstances indicate that particular inventories will not be usable. Our reserve for obsolete inventory was $100,000 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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.

Accrued Warranties

Accrued warranties represent the estimated costs, if any, that will be incurred during the warranty period of our products. We make an estimate of expected costs that will be incurred by us during the warranty period and charge that expense to the consolidated statement of operations at the date of sale. Our manufacturer assumes warranty against product defects for one year from date of sales, which we extend to our customers upon sales of the product. We assume responsibility for product reliability and results.

Income Taxes

Leases and Tenant Improvement Allowance

For lease agreements that provide for escalating rent payments or free-rent occupancy periods, we recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable lease term and option renewal periods where failure to exercise such options would result in an economic penalty in such amount that renewal appears, at the inception of the lease, to be reasonably assured. The lease term commences on the date that the Company takes possession of or controls the physical use of the property. Deferred rent is included in liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

We record landlord allowances and incentives received as deferred rent based on their short-term or long-term nature. These landlord allowances are amortized using the straight-line method over the reasonably assured lease term as a reduction of rent expense. We consider improvements to be a lessor asset if all of the following criteria are met:

● the lease specifically requires the lessee to make the improvement;

● the improvement is fairly generic;

● the improvement increases the fair value of the property to the lessor; and

● the useful life of the improvement is longer than the lease term.

At December 31, 2018 and 2017 our short term deferred rent was $13,215 and $0, respectively. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, our long term deferred rent and tenant allowances was $401,734 and $0, respectively.

Loss Per Share

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

Equity Compensation Expense

We account for equity compensation expense 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 (the “2016 Plan”). The 2016 Plan authorizes the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units/shares. Up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under the 2016 Plan. Shares issued under the 2016 Plan may be either authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or any combination thereof. Provisions in the 2016 Plan permit the reuse or reissuance by the 2016 Plan of shares of common stock for numerous reasons, including, but not limited to, shares of common stock underlying canceled, expired, or forfeited awards of stock-based compensation and stock appreciation rights paid out in the form of cash. Equity compensation expense will typically be awarded in consideration for the future performance of services to us. All recipients of awards under the 2016 Plan are required to enter into award agreements with the Company at the time of the award; awards under the 2016 Plan are expressly conditioned upon such agreements. For the year ended December 31, 2017, we issued 200,000 shares of common stock out of the 2016 Plan. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2018, we issued 300,000 shares of common stock out of the 2016 Plan. The balance of common shares authorized for issuance at December 31, 2018, was 4,500,000.

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 years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to replace the existing revenue recognition criteria for contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Deferral of the Effective Date, to defer the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 to interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted ASU Nos. 2014-09 and 2015-14 on January 1, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis, which did not impact our beginning accumulated deficit and additional paid-in capital.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, to require lessees to recognize all leases, with limited exceptions, on the balance sheet, while recognition on the statement of operations will remain similar to current lease accounting. The ASU also eliminates real estate-specific provisions and modifies certain aspects of lessor accounting. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, and ASU No. 2018-20, Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors, to clarify and amend the guidance in ASU No. 2016-02. The ASUs are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt the ASUs on January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative adjustment to our beginning accumulated deficit balance. Prior comparative periods will not be restated under this method, and we will adopt all available practical expedients, as applicable. Upon adoption, our consolidated balance sheet will include an overall increase in assets of approximately $800,000 and an increase in liabilities of approximately $800,000. The ASUs are not expected to have a material impact on our beginning accumulated deficit, consolidated statement of operations or the consolidated statement of cash flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, to simplify the accounting for the income tax effects from share-based compensation, the accounting for forfeitures and the accounting for statutory income tax withholding, among others. In particular, ASU No. 2016-09 requires all income tax effects from share-based compensation to be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations when the awards vest or are settled, permits accounting for forfeitures as they occur, and permits a higher level of statutory income tax withholding without triggering liability accounting. Adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 is modified retrospective, retrospective and prospective, depending on the specific provision being adopted. We adopted ASU No. 2016-09 on January 1, 2017, which did not impact our beginning accumulated deficit and additional paid-in capital.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, to simplify the test for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2. An entity will, therefore, perform the goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. An entity still has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU No. 2017-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Adoption of ASU No. 2017-04 is prospective.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Scope of Modification Accounting, to provide guidance on which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. ASU No. 2017-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of ASU No. 2017-09 is prospective. We adopted ASU No. 2017-09 on January 1, 2018, which did not impact our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Sales

During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we had net revenue of approximately $5,585,000 and $4,994,000, respectively, representing an increase in revenue of approximately $591,000 or 12%. The increase in sales in the current year period was attributable to large equipment orders from new customers, and steady repeat solution orders from our existing customer base.

Cost of Sales

During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, our cost of sales was approximately $2,467,000 and $1,928,000, respectively, representing an increase of approximately $539,000 or 28%. The primary reason for the increase in cost of sales is attributable to the increase in revenue and the related product mix in the current year period as compared to the prior year period and our inventory reserve that was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2018. Our gross profit margins as a percentage of sales for the year ended December 31, 2018 decreased as compared to the prior period as a result of the customer and product mix in sales and our inventory reserve established in 2018

Professional Fees

Professional fees for the year ended December 31, 2018 were approximately $330,000, as compared to $877,000 for the prior year, representing a decrease of approximately $547,000, or 62%. The decrease is attributable to high professional fees incurred in the prior year period in connection with a lawsuit we initiated and settled in July 2017. Professional fees are comprised mainly of legal, accounting and financial consulting fees.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization were approximately $635,000 and $607,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, representing an increase of $28,000, or 5%. The increase in depreciation expense is attributable to additional property and equipment acquired in 2018 and 2017.

Selling Expenses

Selling expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 were approximately $1,360,000, as compared to $1,256,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017, representing an increase of approximately $104,000 or 8%. The increase in selling expenses is attributable to higher salaries due to increases in headcount and marketing and advertising costs incurred for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the prior year period. Selling expenses represent selling salaries and wages, trade show fees, commissions, advertising and marketing expenses.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 were approximately $916,000, as compared to $454,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017, representing an increase of approximately $462,000, or 102%. The primary reason for the increase is attributable to current and ongoing studies and testing in connection with our product related to more effective and quicker hospital terminal cleans and product development costs we incurred in 2018. Research and development expenses mainly include costs incurred in generating and supporting research on improving, extending and applying our patents in the field of mechanical cleaning and decontamination.

Equity Compensation Expense

Equity compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2018 was approximately $77,000, as compared to $649,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017, representing a decrease of approximately $572,000 or 88%. The decline in equity compensation expense relates to the timing of certain issuances that occurred in the prior period. Equity compensation expense is incurred upon the issuance of warrants and stock options. On the date of a grant, we determine the fair value of the award and recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. The fair value of the award is calculated using the Black-Scholes Method option-pricing model.

Consulting Fees

Consulting fees for the year ended December 31, 2018 were approximately $141,000, as compared to $211,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017, representing a decrease of approximately $70,000, or 33%. The decrease in consulting fees relates to a one-time fee that was incurred in the prior year period in connection with a short-term consulting agreement with no such charge in the current period.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense includes salaries and payroll taxes, rent, insurance expense, utilities, office expense and product registration costs. General and administrative expense was approximately $2,729,000 and $2,775,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, representing a decrease of approximately $46,000 or 2%.

Amortization of debt discount was $38,000 and $6,000 during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Amortization of debt discount for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, consists of the amortization of debt discount on the $6,000,000 principal amount of Notes issued in March and May 2017. The debt discount was amortized over the life of the Notes utilizing the effective interest method.

Induced conversion costs of approximately $57,000 for the year ended December 31,2018 were incurred in connection with the conversion of $700,000 convertible note payable.

Net loss per common share, basic and diluted, for the year ended December 31, 2018 was ($0.03). Net loss per common share, basic and diluted, for the year ended December 31, 2017 was ($0.03). The primary reasons for the decreased net loss can be attributed to:

●

Higher revenue and gross profit of approximately $591,000 and $51,000, respectively;

●

Lower operating expenses of approximately $322,000,

●

Gain on redemption of convertible note of $150,000, offset by

●

Higher interest expense of approximately $31,000; and

●

Induced conversion costs of approximately $57,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2,005,000 and working capital of $5,544,000. Our principal capital requirements are to fund operations, invest in research and development and capital equipment, and the continued costs of public company filing requirements. We have historically funded our operations through debt and equity financings.

In March and May 2017, we raised gross proceeds of $6,000,000 through a private placement of the Notes. We issued the Notes in two tranches of $5,300,000 and $700,000, respectively, which originally were scheduled to mature on August 31, 2018 and November 8, 2018, respectively, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. The Notes are convertible at any time by the holder into common stock at a conversion price of $0.54 per share. We may redeem the Notes 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 at a rate of 4 percent per annum. In addition, we issued three-year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 999,998 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.69 per share. Currently, we are using the proceeds from the private placement for research and development, international product registration, expansion of our internal sales force, marketing, public relations, expansions of our EPA label and for working capital and general corporate purposes. In February and March 2018, we and the holders of the Notes extended the maturity date of the $5,000,000 principal amount of Notes to April 1, 2019.

On March 30, 2019, the remaining note holders agreed to extend the maturity dates of their aggregate of $5,000,000 in notes to April 3, 2020.

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we incurred losses from operations of approximately $3,070,000 and $3,444,000, respectively. The cash used in operations was approximately $1,767,000 and $2,432,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Our revenues can fluctuate due to the following factors, among others:

●

Ramp up and expansion of our internal sales force and manufacturers’ representatives;

●

Length of our sales cycle;

●

Expansion into new territories and markets; and

●

Timing of orders from distributors.

We could incur additional operating losses and an increase of costs related to the continuation of product and technology development and administrative activities.

Management has taken and will endeavor to continue to take a number of actions in order to improve our results of operations and the related cash flows generated from operations in order to strengthen our financial position, including the following items:

●

Expanding our label with the EPA to further our product registration internationally;

●

Continued expansion of our internal sales force and manufacturer representatives in an effort to drive domestic revenue in all hospital-healthcare verticals;

●

Continued expansion of our internal sales force and manufacturer representatives in an effort to drive global revenue in the life science verticals;

●

Expansion of international distributors; and

●

Continued growth of TSN, our new Forensic Restoration FRST sub-division and new growth in the food safety market which includes using SteraMist for increasing the storage time of pre- and post-harvest produce. Increasing transportation shelf life by installing SteraMist in semitrucks and ships that are transporting food.

We believe that our existing balance of cash and cash equivalents and amounts expected to be provided by operations will provide us with sufficient financial resources to meet our cash requirements for operations, working capital and capital expenditures over the next twelve months We cannot make any assurances that management’s strategies will be effective or that any additional financing will be completed on a timely basis, on acceptable terms or at all. Our inability to successfully implement our strategies or to complete any other financing may mean that we would have to significantly reduce costs and/or delay projects, which would adversely affect our business, customers and program development, and would adversely impact us.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity or debt financings. Sufficient funds may not be available to us at all or on attractive terms when needed from these sources. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the future sale of equity or debt, the ownership interests of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing common stockholders. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of debt securities, these securities could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. We may require additional capital beyond our currently anticipated amounts. If we are unable to obtain additional funding from these or other sources when needed, it may be necessary to significantly reduce our scope of operations and current rate of spending through reductions in staff and delaying, scaling back, or stopping our research and development or sales and marketing activities.

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was approximately $1,767,000 and $2,432,000, respectively. Cash used in operating activities decreased in 2018 approximately $665,000 as compared to the prior year period primarily due to the (reduced loss) incurred in 2018, decrease in our inventory and increase in our accounts payable.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was approximately $628,000 and $15,000, respectively. Cash used in investing activities increased $613,000 compared to the prior year period primarily due to equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements acquired in connection with our new facility.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2018 consisted of the $150,000 paid in connection with the redemption of convertible notes payable with a principal balance of $300,000.

Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2017 consisted of the $6,000,000 in aggregate gross proceeds received from the issuance of the Notes and proceeds from the exercise of warrants of $48,750.

Item 9A. 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our disclosure controls and procedures are intended to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Our management has concluded that the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management recognizes that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain judgments and assumptions and cannot provide absolute assurance that its objectives will be met. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures 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. Similarly, an evaluation of controls cannot provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management, with the participation of our Principal Chief Executive Officer and our Principal Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our Principal Chief Executive Officer along with our Principal Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our internal control over financial reporting was effective. Our internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm as we are not an accelerated filer, nor a large accelerated filer.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During our most recent fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

honest and ethical conduct including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with or submit to the SEC and in other public communications made by us;

In connection with the execution of Ms. Shane’s employment agreement, on January 5, 2018, we issued her an option under the 2016 Plan to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock. The exercise price of the option was $0.12 per share, based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of issuance. Utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model, we determined the fair value of the option issued to Ms. Shane was approximately $12,000, with the following assumptions: volatility, 146%; expected dividend yield, 0%; risk free interest rate, 2.27%; and a life of 5 years. The grant date fair value of each share of common stock underlying the option was $0.12. In addition, pursuant to her employment agreement, on January 3, 2019, we issued her an option under the 2016 Plan to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock. The exercise price of the option was $0.11 per share, based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of issuance. Utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model, we determined the fair value of the option issued to Ms. Shane was approximately $25,000, with the following assumptions: volatility, 144%; expected dividend yield, 0%; risk free interest rate, 2.47%; and a life of 5 years. The grant date fair value of each share of common stock underlying the option was $0.10. The option was accrued for as of December 31, 2018. We recognized total equity-based compensation to Ms. Shane of approximately $37,000 on the options during the year ended December 31, 2018.

Except as described below, we currently have no employment agreements with any of our executive officers, nor any compensatory plans or arrangements resulting from the resignation, retirement or any other termination of any of our executive officers, from a change-in-control, or from a change in any executive officer’s responsibilities following a change-in-control.

Employment Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with each of the named executive officers and generally include the named executive officer’s initial base salary and an indication of equity compensation opportunities.

Halden S. Shane

On January 15, 2016, we entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Shane, effective January 1, 2016. The agreement provides for a base annual salary of $360,000. The agreement also provides for the quarterly issuance of an option to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock in 2016 with an exercise price equal to the three-day trailing volume weighted average price of our common stock. In the event Dr. Shane is terminated for any reason or becomes disabled or dies, any options he holds at such time will become cashless and will be entitled to piggyback registration and exercise immediately. Dr. Shane is also entitled to performance bonuses, subject to the achievement of certain objectives, including (i) a minimum semi-annual grant of stock options to purchase up to 250,000 shares of common stock and (ii) a cash bonus, determined in the sole discretion of the Board. The agreement also provides that we will reimburse Dr. Shane for certain business and entertainment expenses, including the use of an automobile.

In the event Dr. Shane is terminated as CEO as a result of a change in control, Dr. Shane will be entitled to a lump sum payment of two years salary at the time of such termination and will be granted an option to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock that are cashless and, when exercised, will have piggyback registration or demand registration rights, and if applicable, any and all outstanding stock grants will be accelerated and be fully vested.

The Board may terminate Dr. Shane for cause by written notification to Dr. Shane; provided, however, that no termination for cause will be effective unless Dr. Shane has been provided with prior written notice and opportunity for remedial action and fails to remedy within 30 days thereof, in the event of a termination by the Company (i) by reason of willful dishonesty towards, fraud upon, or deliberate injury or attempted injury to, the Company, (ii) by reason of material breach of his employment agreement and (iii) by reason of gross negligence or intentional misconduct with respect to the performance of duties under the agreement. Upon termination for cause, Dr. Shane will be immediately paid an amount equal to his gross salary. The Board may terminate Dr. Shane other than for cause at any time upon giving notice to Dr. Shane. Upon such termination, Dr. Shane will be immediately paid an amount equal to his gross salary.

Mr. Jennings’ annual salary is $132,000, which is reviewed annually. On January 26, 2016, we issued Mr. Jennings a five-year warrant to purchase up to 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.55 per share. The agreement also provided for the issuance of an additional five-year warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock in 2016, however, this provision was modified to grant a salary increase in lieu of the options. In January 2018, Mr. Jennings’ annual salary was increased to $155,000 per year. Mr. Jennings is also entitled to additional equity compensation based upon superior performance of his responsibilities, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders and the board of directors of

TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. and subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

WOLINETZ, LAFAZAN & COMPANY, P.C.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2007.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TOMI and its wholly-owned subsidiary, TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassification of Accounts

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-year comparative financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or financial position.

Use of Estimates

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

F-8

Level 1:	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:	Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data or substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3:	Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities.

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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. Bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $96,929 and $263,882, respectively.

At December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $300,000 and $500,000, respectively.

As of December 31, 2018, two customers accounted for 37% of accounts receivable. One customer accounted for 13% of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018.

As of December 31, 2017, two customers accounted for 24% of accounts receivable. Two customers accounted for 22% of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2017.

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.

Property and Equipment

F-9

Accounts Payable

As of December 31, 2018, three vendors accounted for approximately 63% of total accounts payable. As of December 31, 2017, one vendor accounted for approximately 45% of total accounts payable.

One vendor accounted for 70% and 73% of cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Accrued Warranties

Accrued warranties represent the estimated costs, if any, that will be incurred during the warranty period of our products. We make an estimate of expected costs that will be incurred by us during the warranty period and charge that expense to the consolidated statement of operations at the date of sale. Our manufacturer assumes the warranty against product defects for one year from date of sale, which we extend to our customers upon sale of the product. We assume responsibility for product reliability and results. As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, our warranty reserve was $30,000 and $5,000, respectively.

Income Taxes

Leases and Tenant Improvement Allowance

●

the lease specifically requires the lessee to make the improvement;

●

the improvement is fairly generic;

●

the improvement increases the fair value of the property to the lessor; and

●

the useful life of the improvement is longer than the lease term.

At December 31, 2018 and 2017 our short term deferred rent was $13,215 and $0, respectively. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, our long term deferred rent and tenant improvement allowances was $401,734 and $0, respectively.

Net Loss Per Share

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

Potentially dilutive securities as of December 31, 2018 consisted of 9,259,250 shares of common stock from convertible debentures, 26,550,611 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, 320,000 shares of common stock issuable upon outstanding options and 510,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding shares of Preferred A stock (“Convertible Series A Preferred Stock”). Diluted and basic weighted average shares are the same, as potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive.

F-10

Potentially dilutive securities as of December 31, 2017 consisted of 11,111,100 shares of common stock from convertible debentures, 35,501,411 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, 200,000 shares of common stock issuable upon outstanding options and 510,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding shares of Preferred A stock (“Convertible Series A Preferred Stock”). Diluted and basic weighted average shares are the same, as potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive.

Diluted net loss per share is computed similarly to basic net loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential shares of common stock had been issued and if such additional shares were dilutive. Options, warrants, preferred stock and shares associated with the conversion of debt to purchase approximately 36.6 million and 47.3 million shares of common stock were outstanding at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, but were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share due to the anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share.

Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer

Contract Balances

As of December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017 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

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 cost 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 (the “2016 Plan”). The 2016 Plan authorizes the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units/shares. Up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under the 2016 Plan. Shares issued under the 2016 Plan may be either authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or any combination thereof. Provisions in the 2016 Plan permit the reuse or reissuance by the 2016 Plan of shares of common stock for numerous reasons, including, but not limited to, shares of common stock underlying canceled, expired, or forfeited awards of stock-based compensation and stock appreciation rights paid out in the form of cash. Equity compensation expense will typically be awarded in consideration for the future performance of services to us. All recipients of awards under the 2016 Plan are required to enter into award agreements with the Company at the time of the award; awards under the 2016 Plan are expressly conditioned upon such agreements. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock out of the 2016 Plan. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company issued 300,000 shares of common stock out of the 2016 Plan.

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 May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to replace the existing revenue recognition criteria for contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Deferral of the Effective Date, to defer the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 to interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted ASUs No. 2014-09 and 2015-14 on January 1, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis, which did not impact our beginning accumulated deficit and additional paid-in capital.

NOTE 6. CONVERTIBLE DEBT

In March and May 2017, the Company closed a private placement transaction in which it issued to certain accredited investors unregistered senior callable convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) and three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 999,998 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.69 per share in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $6,000,000. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum. $5,300,000 in principal was originally scheduled to mature on August 31, 2018 and $700,000 in principal was originally scheduled to mature on November 8, 2018, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. The Notes are convertible at the option of the holder into common stock at a conversion price of $0.54 per share. Subsequent to September 1, 2017, we may redeem the Notes that are scheduled to mature on August 31, 2018 at any time prior to maturity at a price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the redemption date. Prior to November 8, 2018, we may redeem the Notes that are scheduled to mature on such date at any time prior to maturity at a price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the redemption date. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in cash on February 28 and August 31 of each year, beginning on August 31, 2017. Interest expense related to the Notes for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $221,878 and $191,256, respectively.

F-15

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%. The Company 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 is being amortized over the life of the Notes using the effective interest method. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, was $38,091 and $6,279, respectively.

In February and March 2018, we extended the maturity date of the Notes—we extended the maturity dates for $5,300,000 of principal on the Notes to April 1, 2019 and $700,000 in principal of the Notes to June 8, 2019. No additional consideration was paid or accrued by the Company. 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”.

On March 30, 2019, the remaining note holders agreed to extend the maturity dates of their aggregate of $5,000,000 in notes to April 3, 2020. See Note 14-Subsequent Events.

Convertible notes consist of the following at:

Stock Warrants

In March and May of 2017, in connection with the issuance of the Notes, we issued three-year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 999,998 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.69 per share (see Note 6).

On June 30, 2017, we issued warrants to purchase up to 15,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share to the members of the Scientific Advisory Board with a term of five years, which vested upon issuance. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes method to fair value the warrants received by the members of the Scientific Advisory Board at $1,400 with the following assumptions: volatility, 150%; expected dividend yield, 0%; risk free interest rate, 1.83%; and a life of 5 years. The grant date fair value of each share underlying the warrant was $0.09.

During the first and second quarter of 2017, we recognized approximately $23,000 in equity compensation expense for the vested and unvested portion of a warrant issued to a former employee pursuant to his agreement with the Company. In September 2017, the employee resigned from his position with the Company and the unvested portion of his warrant was terminated. For the year ended December 31, 2017, we reversed the equity compensation expense for the accrued but unvested portion of his warrant of $22,000.

In June 2017, we modified the terms of outstanding warrants to purchase 4,000,000 shares of common stock. Pursuant to a settlement agreement, the term of the warrants was increased by 2 years and the exercise price was modified to $0.12 per share (decrease of $0.03 per share). Pursuant to ASC 718, the modified terms of the warrants resulted in approximately $196,000 in incremental equity compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2017. We utilized the Black-Scholes method to fair value the warrants under the original and modified terms with the following range of assumptions: volatility, 81%-97%; expected dividend yield, 0%; risk free interest rate, 1.28%; and a life of 0.33 - 2.33 years, respectively.

NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease Commitments

In September 2014, we entered into a lease agreement for office and warehouse space in Frederick, Maryland. As part of the lease agreement, we received a rent holiday in the first 5 months of the lease. The lease also provides for an escalation clause pursuant to which the Company was subject to an annual rent increase of 3%, year over year. The term of the lease expired on January 31, 2018 and was extended on a month-to-month basis through the occupancy date of our new lease.

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.

Approximate minimum annual rents under the lease are as follows:

Legal Contingencies

We may become a party to litigation in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, there are no legal matters involving us that would have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, from time to time, we may have to file claims against parties that infringe on our intellectual property.

Product Liability

As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, there were no claims against us for product liability.

NOTE 9. CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS

Agreements with Directors

In December 2017, we increased the annual board fee to directors to $40,000, to be paid in cash on a quarterly basis, with the exception of the audit committee chairperson, whose annual fee we increased to $45,000, also to be paid in cash on a quarterly basis. The board fee also includes the issuance of 75,000 shares of common stock on an annual basis. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we issued an aggregate of 362,500 shares of common stock that were valued at $33,500 to members of our Board.

In January 2018, Dr. Lim Boh Soon was elected to our Board. His term is for three years or until his successor is elected, or he resigns or is removed. His director agreement provides for an annual cash board fee of $40,000 and annual issuance of shares of common stock, as indicated above.

F-20

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 December 31, 2018, we had entered into 87 licensing 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.

Foreign	-	-
Total	$(3,230,462)	$(3,639,814)

Our income tax expense differed from the amounts computed by applying the United States statutory corporate income tax rate for the following reasons:

On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was enacted into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a federal corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the transition of U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system and a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. We are required to recognize the effect of the tax law changes in the period of enactment, such as re-measuring our U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities as well as reassessing the net realizability of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Tax Act did not give rise to any material impact on the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations due to our historical worldwide loss position and the full valuation allowance on our net U.S. deferred tax assets.

F-21

In December 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“SAB 118”), which allows us to record provisional amounts during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year from the enactment date. As such, in accordance with SAB 118, we completed our analysis during the fourth quarter of 2018 considering current legislation and guidance resulting in no material adjustments from the provisional amounts recorded during the prior year.

The reconciliation of taxes at the federal and state statutory rate to our provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was as follows:

	For the Year Ended
	December 31,	December 31,
	2018	2017

Loss before income tax	$(3,230,462)	$(3,639,814)

Due to the Tax Act, our U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2017 were re-measured from 39.45% to 28%. The change in tax rate resulted in a decrease to our gross U.S. deferred tax assets which is offset by a corresponding decrease to our valuation allowance.

Components of our deferred income tax assets (liabilities) are as follows:

	December 31, 2018	December 31, 2017

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 December 31, 2018, we recorded a valuation allowance of $4,959,000 for the portion of the deferred tax assets that we do not expect to be realized. The valuation allowance on our net deferred taxes increased by $741,000 during the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily due to U.S. deferred tax assets incurred in the current year that cannot be realized. The 2017 additional U.S. deferred tax assets are net of re-measurement from 35% to 21% as a result of the Tax act. Management believes that based on the available information, it is more likely than not that the 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.

For income tax purposes in the United States, we had available federal net operating loss carryforwards ("NOL") as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 of approximately $17,544,000 and $13,898,000 respectively to reduce future federal taxable income. For income tax purposes in the United States, we had available state NOL carryforwards as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 of approximately $14,773,000 and $11,506,000 respectively to reduce future state taxable income. If any of the NOL's are not utilized, they will expire at various dates through 2038. There may be certain limitations as to the future annual use of the NOLs due to certain changes in our ownership.

We record uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, the management of the Company determined there were no reportable uncertain tax positions.
