Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009


NOTE 1 -

BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The financial information included herein is unaudited and has been prepared consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.  In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period presented.


The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.


Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements


In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13 for Revenue Recognition – Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (Subtopic 605-25) “Subtopic”. This accounting standard update establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for arrangements under which the vendor will perform multiple revenue generating activities. Vendors often provide multiple products or services to their customers. Those deliverables often are provided at different points in time or over different time periods. Specifically, this Subtopic addresses how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting.  The amendments in this guidance will affect the accounting and reporting for all vendors that enter into multiple-deliverable arrangements with their customers when those arrangements are wi thin the scope of this Subtopic.


This new accounting standard is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Earlier adoption is permitted. If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year, the entity will apply the amendments under this Subtopic retrospectively from the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year.  The presentation and disclosure requirements shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. As the Company has not yet generated any revenues, this standard is not yet applicable, but will be adopted once revenues are generated.


NOTE 2 -

CANADIAN FOUNDATION FOR GLOBAL HEALTH


The Company assisted in the formation of the Canadian Foundation for Global Health (“CFGH”), a not-for-profit foundation based in Ottawa, Canada.  The Company helped establish CFGH for two primary purposes: (1) to establish an independent not-for-profit foundation intended to have a continuing working relationship with the Company for research purposes that is best positioned to attract the finest scientific, medical and academic professionals possible to work on projects deemed to be of social benefit; and (2) to provide a means for the Company to use a tiered pricing structure for services and products in emerging economies and extend the reach of the Company’s technology to as many in need as possible.


The CFGH is specifically not authorized to contract for research or other services on behalf of the Company without prior approval.  All intellectual property, including but not limited to, scientific results, patents and trademarks that are derived from work done on the Company’s behalf or at its request, by CFGH or parties contracted by CFGH with the Company’s prior approval, are the sole and exclusive property of the Company.

NOTE 2 -

CANADIAN FOUNDATION FOR GLOBAL HEALTH (Continued)


In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard which requires a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to be consolidated by a company if that company absorbs a majority of the VIE’s expected losses and/or receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns as a result of holding variable interests, which are the ownership, contractual, or other financial interests in the entity.  In addition, a legal entity is considered to be a VIE, if it does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its own activities without relying on financial support from other parties.  If the legal entity is a VIE, then the reporting entity determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE must consolidate it.  


The Company has determined that CFGH meets the requirements of a VIE, effective upon the first advance to CFGH on February 12, 2009.  Accordingly, the financial condition and operations of CFGH are being consolidated with the Company as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009

NOTE 4 -

GOING CONCERN


The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has incurred significant losses from its inception through March 31, 2010, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $22,371,602 at March 31, 2010.  The Company currently does not have an established source of funds sufficient to cover its operating costs beyond the next three months, has a working capital deficit of approximately $3,141,000, and has relied exclusively on debt and equity financing.  Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional capital and ultimately, upon the Company’s attaining pro fitable operations.  The Company will require a substantial amount of additional funds to complete the development of its products, hospital beta testing, commercialization, and to fund additional losses, until revenues are sufficient to cover the Company’s operating expenses.  


Over the past two years, the Company has raised a total of $1,667,040 through the sale of 48,924,398 restricted shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.01 to $0.25 per share, which funds have been used to pay certain corporate obligations, including the initial costs of development for its hospital sterilization initiative.  Subsequent to March 31, 2010, the Company has raised an additional $212,400 through the sale of 1,770,000 shares of common stock at $0.12 per share.  However, the Company will need to raise additional capital in the near future in order to sustain operations and to fund additional research.  The Company believes that it will be able to raise these additional needed funds from some of the same investors who have purchased shares over the past several years, although there is no guarantee that these investors will purchase additional shares.  However, these investors have verbally committed to continue to f und the Company’s projects on a monthly basis, as needed.  If the Company is unsuccessful in finalizing this or other additional funding, it will most likely be forced to substantially reduce or cease operations.


During 2009, the Company began pursuing the development of a novel ozone-based technology (“AsepticSure™ technology”) which will offer a safe, inexpensive means of disinfecting medical facilities of all bacteria, fungi and viruses known to cause hospital derived infections.  Since this technology is not considered a medical treatment or a diagnostic, its developmental pathway will not be subject to regulatory review or the requirement of a lengthy clinical trial process.  The Company has recently completed a third series of laboratory trials of this hospital sterilization technology at Innovation Park, Queen’s University, Ontario, Canada, which has enabled the Company to establish the precise protocols necessary in order to obtain maximum bactericidal action in combination with minimum turn-around times in keeping with normal hospital flow patterns.  Most recently, the Company research has shown that the technology can now achieve a level of bacterial decontamination heretofore unseen in open space settings using conventional means.  Additional test results have demonstrated that the AsepticSure™ technology is successful on Porcelain and Formica, as well as stainless surfaces, which surfaces represent the majority of all hospital surfaces.  The Company believes that this development will significantly expand the utility for the AsepticSure™ technology, and also greatly reduce the time required for the thorough sterilization of a hospital room, and the return of the hospital room back into service.  


In addition, the Company’s full scale development prototype has been completed and demonstrated in bacteria-free runs that it can reach both the charge time and saturation requirements of its design criteria.  Hospital beta testing of the AsepticSure™ hospital sterilization prototype system is scheduled to begin during late spring of 2010 for both public and government applications.  Assuming successful hospital beta testing, commercialization of the system with first product deliveries is expected during late 2010, which the Company believes will provide the necessary revenue to fund additional advanced efforts with this technology for bio-terrorism counter measures, as well as other projects.


The management of the Company intends to seek additional funding which will be utilized to fund additional research and continue operations.  The Company recognizes that if it is unable to raise additional capital, it may find it necessary to substantially reduce or cease operations.

NOTE 4 -

GOING CONCERN (Continued)


The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraphs and eventually attain profitable operations.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.  

NOTE 5 -

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


The Company is subject to certain claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business.  In the opinion of management, uninsured losses, if any, resulting from the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


Effective July 1, 2009, the Company entered into a lease agreement and established its own certified laboratory located at Innovation Park, Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, which will provide a primary research and development platform for the Company as it proceeds towards commercialization of its products.  The lease term goes through June 30, 2010 and includes a monthly lease payment of $1,300 Canadian Dollars plus the applicable Goods and Services Tax (GST).  Additional space was rented during December 2009 that includes a monthly lease payment of $1,200 Canadian Dollars, plus the applicable GST.

OUTSTANDING WARRANTS AND OPTIONS


Warrants


On various dates over the past several years, the Board of Directors of the Company agreed to extend the expiration date on certain outstanding warrants to purchase common stock.  The Company estimates the fair value of each stock award or expiration extension at the grant date or extension date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which model requires the use of exercise behavior data and the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the Company’s stock price, the weighted average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the warrants.  Because the Company does not pay dividends, the dividend rate variable in the Black-Scholes model is zero.  Under the provisions of this accounting standard, additional expense of $-0- and $29,913 was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, under the Black-Scholes option pricing model for these warrant extensions. &n bsp;


The Company estimated the fair value of the stock warrants at the date of the maturity extension, based on the following weighted average assumptions:


Risk-free interest rate

0.11% - 0.27%

Expected life

1 to 4 months

Expected volatility

139.91% - 245.55%

Dividend yield

0.00%


All outstanding warrants were either exercised or expired unexercised prior to the end of the year ended December 31, 2009, thus there are no warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2010.

Options


On August 26, 2009, the Company granted a total of 1,000,000 options to a Company director with an exercise price of $0.10 per share, exercisable for up to five years.  On the same date, the Company granted an additional 1,500,000 options to an outside consultant for services rendered, with an exercise price of $0.10 per share, exercisable for up to five years, but including vesting provisions as follows: i) 500,000 of the options vested immediately on the date of grant, ii) 500,000 options will vest on the date certified by the Company as the date the Company’s hospital sterilization program completes its beta-testing, and iii) the remaining 500,000 options will vest on the date certified by the Company as the date that the Company’s process has been commercialized and a minimum of fifty units or devices have been sold to third parties by the Company.  As of March 31, 2010, 1,000,000 of the 1,500,000 options granted to this consult ant had not yet vested.  


On March 29, 2010, the Company granted 250,000 options to an individual for consulting services to be rendered for the period of April 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010.  The options have an exercise price of $0.19 per share, and are exercisable for up to five years.  The value of these options granted, totaling $46,094, will be recognized as an expense on a monthly basis beginning on April 1, 2010 at $7,682 per month.


As previously discussed, the Company estimates the fair value of each stock award by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which model requires the use of exercise behavior data and the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the Company’s stock price, the weighted average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the options.  Because the Company does not pay dividends, the dividend rate variable in the Black-Scholes model is zero.  Under the provisions of this accounting standard, additional expense of $-0- and $-0- was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, under the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  Additional expense of $97,398 will be recorded in the future as the additional vesting requirements are met, pursuant to the 1,500,000 options granted on August 26, 2009.  


The Company estimated the fair value of the stock options at the date of the grant, based on the following weighted average assumptions:


Risk-free interest rate

2.46%

Expected life

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

Medizone International, Inc. ("Medizone," the "Company," “we,” “us,” “our”), prior to 2008, had been dedicated to (i) seeking regulatory approval of a precise mixture of ozone and oxygen, and its process of inactivating lipid-enveloped viruses for the intended purpose of decontaminating blood and blood products and assisting in the treatment of certain diseases; (ii) developing or acquiring the related technology and equipment for the medical application of its products, including a drug production and delivery system; and, (iii) applying its novel technology to the problem of nosocomial infections world-wide.  

Ozone is a gas composed of three oxygen atoms in an unstable and highly reactive form.  Ozone naturally tends to seek its normal state, exhibiting a short half-life as it reverts to oxygen fairly rapidly.  There are many uses of ozone as a disinfecting agent.  Ozone does not react with organic matter and therefore it leaves no residue in the water or on the treated product.  Ozone also does not form any toxic byproducts and when used in water, it can be filtered and reused.  This means that no change in color or flavor results from the ozone treatment, unlike chlorine treatment.  Ozone can be generated onsite from ambient air or from oxygen.  Each method has its advantages and unique challenges.  It has been demonstrated that ozone can be economically produced and is effectively used as an agent in food processing, equipment sanitizing, and in water treatment facilities globally.  Ozone tec hnology is replacing conventional sanitation techniques such as chlorine, steam, or hot water.

Corporate Operations

Early in 2008, our management and board of directors began to consider other applications of our core technologies and new technologies with lower development costs with the objective of moving us to revenue production in the shortest period of time.

Beginning in 2008, management re-positioned the Company to pursue an initiative in the field of hospital sterilization.  Following laboratory results with Bacillus subtilis, an internationally recognized surrogate for Anthrax, that produced 7 log reductions (sterilization), we have expanded our research and business plan to include bio-terrorism countermeasures as well as hospital sterilization and critical infrastructure de-contamination.

This change in focus is based, in part, on a review of published data on hospital-derived infections, an area of rapidly growing concern in the medical community. Management believes that there is an opportunity to build on our experience with ozone technologies and its bio-oxidative qualities in pursuing this initiative. We have shifted our near term efforts towards one of its founding tenets, namely that under the right conditions, ozone can be extremely effective at sterilizing biological fluids (blood, serum, and plasma and its fractionates) as well as biologically contaminated equipment and spaces.

We believe that our unique ozone generating technologies could play a vital role in addressing what public health officials and surgeons world-wide are beginning to recognize as "the silent epidemic" (American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, May 2008, copy on file with the Company (“AAOS Study”)), a reference to MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus) infection.  This is a strain of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria (“staph”) that is resistant to the broad-spectrum antibiotics commonly used to treat it. MRSA can be fatal.  According to the AAOS Study, "the number of hospital admissions for MRSA has exploded in the past decade. By 2005, admissions were triple the number in 2000 and 10-fold higher than in 1995. In 2005, in the United States alone, 368,600 hospital admissions for MRSA — including 94,000 invasive infections — resulted in 18,650 deaths. The number of MRSA fatalities in 2005 surpassed the number of fatalities from hurricane Katrina and AIDS combined and is substantially higher than fatalities at the peak of the U. S. polio epidemic."  Indeed, biological contamination of medical treatment areas such as hospitals and chronic care facilities has recently been identified by several world renowned public health institutions, including the Centers for Disease Control or “CDC” (CDC Report, 17 Oct, 2007, copy on file with the Company), as one of the greatest threats to public health and safety in the industrial world. This concern was reflected in an article recently published in the journal Science (18 July 2008, Vol 321, pp 356-361, copy on file with the Company) which estimated that hospital-based infections in 2006 accounted for almost 100,000 deaths in the US alone.

In response to this situation, we are currently developing a highly portable, low-cost, ozone-based technology (“AsepticSure™”) specifically for the purpose of decontaminating and sterilizing hospital surgical suites, emergency rooms, and intensive care units. Since this technology is not considered a medical treatment or a diagnostic, its development pathway is not subject to a stringent and expensive regulatory review process.  The development pathway will be based on independent peer-reviewed science and engineering excellence.  A government variant of AsepticSure™ is being developed for bio-terrorism countermeasures.




In 2008, we entered into a five-year agreement with BiOzone Corporation (“BiOzone”).  Under the agreement, BiOzone has been developing, along with us, equipment for specialized laboratory trials, a prototype AsepticSure™ system for hospital beta-testing and ozone destruct technology.  The agreement also covers initial product manufacturing by BiOzone exclusively for Medizone. Under this agreement, we retain the right to outsource additional manufacturing capacity.  

During May 2009, we commenced the first of a series of trials designed to confirm that our AsepticSure™ Hospital Sterilization System can rapidly eliminate hospital-based bacterial pathogens known to be responsible for the growing number of deaths and serious infections currently plaguing the healthcare system worldwide.  We have engaged an internationally recognized expert in medical microbiology and hospital infections to lead the trials.  

A second series of laboratory trials were commenced in early June 2009, after the first series produced results that management believes to have demonstrated significant bactericidal effects against C-difficile, E-coli, Pseudomonas aeruginous, MRSA and VRE, the main causative agents of hospital derived nosocomial infections.  This second series of laboratory trials resulted in what management believes to be levels of bactericidal action necessary to achieve our commercial objectives.  

A third series of laboratory trials were commenced during October 2009 in order to establish the precise protocols necessary in order to obtain maximum bactericidal action in combination with minimum turn-around times in keeping with normal hospital flow patterns.  This third series of laboratory trials were completed during January 2010.  These tests now predictably demonstrate greater than 6 logs (99.9999%) of bacterial “kill” across the full spectrum of hospital contaminants including MRSA, C difficile, E coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and VRE (Vanocomycin-resistant Enterococci) in addition to the internationally accepted surrogate for Anthrax, Bacillus subtilis.  Our research has shown that the technology can now achieve a level of bacterial decontamination heretofore unseen in open space settings using conventional means.  We now believe that this development will significantly e xpand the utility and acceptance for the AsepticSure™ technology.   

Simultaneously with this recent testing, a development prototype was completed, which has demonstrated that it can reach both the charge time and saturation requirements of its design criteria.   Mock-up trials began in January 2010 for both public (hospital) and government (bio-terrorism countermeasures) applications.  Results obtained during early February 2010 show that every full-scale test run completed in our hospital room mock-up facility has resulted in the total elimination of all bacteria present in the room. In this current phase of development, we will attempt to confirm, in a more realistic hospital setting, recent laboratory findings indicating extremely high antibacterial efficacy for its novel technology (6-7.2 log reductions) against the primary causative agents of hospital acquired infections (HAI’s), sometimes referred to as “Super Bugs”.  We have now completed multiple runs wit h very high concentrations of MRSA, VRE and E coli samples that were distributed throughout the test room.  In every instance, the AsepticSure™ system produced greater than 6 log (99.9999%) reductions, which by definition, is sterilization.  We now intend to systematically collect empirically verifiable scientific data on all of the remaining causative agents of HAI’s.  Given these recent results in a full room test setting which precisely mirrors our laboratory setup, we fully expect the same results with all remaining bacteria as well as Bacillus subtilis, the recognized surrogate for Anthrax.   If the hospital mock-up continues to be successful, we will proceed to hospital beta testing of a production prototype in preparation for marketing.  Commercialization of the system, with first product deliveries, is expected later this year.

In addition to the hospital sterilization initiative, we have developed an ozone-destruct unit which is used following sterilization of the treated infrastructure to reverse the ozone gas (O3) in the space, and turn it back into O2 in a short period of time.  We have initially targeted the treatment of a typically sized surgical suite including sterilization followed by ozone destruct to habitable standards in two hours or less.  This short turn-around period is considered of great importance relative to commercialization of the technology.  While full room-scale testing only began in January 2010, preliminary results have demonstrated greater than 6 log (99.9999%) reductions are obtainable with the room cleared and then returned to service in under two hours.  Therefore, early results have demonstrated that the system meets our design criteria.

An application for registration of a trademark has been filed for the system with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the mark AsepticSure™. The mark is used to describe a portable decontamination and sterilization system for hospitals, government buildings, schools and other functionally critical environments that might currently require, or need to be prepared for countermeasures capability from contamination by infectious biological agents such as C difficile, E coli, Pseudomonas aeruginous, MRSA and VRE.

On July 6, 2009, we filed US patent application 61/223,219 titled “Healthcare Facility Disinfecting System” for the AsepticSure™ technology.  The patent covers disinfection for rooms and their contents within all healthcare facilities, mobile or stationary, and other critical infrastructure such as schools and government buildings.  




During the third round of trials, additional technologies were added to the AsepticSure™ system, each having their own antimicrobial effects, which in combination, were shown not to be additive, but multiplicative.  The unprecedented results obtained of 6-log reductions or greater with all HAI associated pathogens provided us with valuable inventive information that resulted in a second patent filing made on January 20, 2010.  

This second patent filing (US patent application 61/295,851) protects improvements in our basic procedure and protocol achieved by combining it with another procedure, resulting in a significant increase in disinfecting capabilities demonstrated during the third round of laboratory trials against a wide variety of bacteria and on a range of different surfaces commonly found in healthcare and other essential facilities.  Both patent applications currently afford international protection for this technology, and can be expanded into full international patent applications, in countries of our choice.  

Also effective July 1, 2009, we entered into a lease agreement and established our own certified laboratory located at Innovation Park, Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, which has provided us with a primary research and development platform as we proceed towards commercialization of the AsepticSure ™ product.  Our laboratory space was doubled in size during January 2010 in order to conduct full-size room testing (mock-trials).

We believe our research and development time frame as well as intellectual property development remain on track.  Once the trial program for the AsepticSure™ hospital sterilization system is concluded, we expect to out-source the manufacturing of the product and partner with large, well established companies that are already fully embedded in our sector of business as suppliers, such as medical device manufacturers or service companies.  

We possibly may partner with several such companies, perhaps covering different geographical markets such as North America, Asia, and Europe.  The same may prove to be true for the outsourcing of additional manufacturing capacity.  By developing relationships with multiple corporate partners, management believes that we will be able to better maintain control over our products and obtain more competitive returns.  We have held preliminary talks with potential corporate partners in the hospital sector, but have not committed to any corporate relationship at the present time.  At this time, we intend to maintain sales of the government variant of AsepticSure™ in-house, as we have full-time staff and consultants that are very experienced in dealing with government affairs and government contracts.

Canadian Foundation for Global Health (CFGH) – Consolidated Variable Interest Entity

We assisted in the formation of the Canadian Foundation for Global Health (“CFGH”), a not-for-profit foundation based in Ottawa, Canada.  We helped establish CFGH for two primary purposes: (1) to establish an independent not-for-profit foundation intended to have a continuing working relationship with Medizone for research purposes that is best positioned to attract the finest scientific, medical and academic professionals possible to work on projects deemed to be of social benefit; and (2) to provide a means for us to use a tiered pricing structure for services and products in emerging economies and extend the reach of our technology to as many in need as possible.

The CFGH is specifically not authorized to contract for research or other services on our behalf without prior approval.  All intellectual property, including but not limited to, scientific results, patents and trademarks that are derived from work done on our behalf or at our request, by CFGH or parties contracted by CFGH with our prior approval, are the sole and exclusive property of Medizone.

The CFGH is registered as a not-for-profit corporation under Canadian Federal Charter.  CFGH maintains offices at 170 Lauier Avenue West in Ottawa, Canada.  Dr. Michael E. Shannon M.A., M.Sc., M.D. is President of the CFGH and maintains offices at the CFGH.  Dr. Shannon is also a member of our board of directors and is our Director of Medical Affairs.  Mr. Brad Goble, President of TDVGlobal, Inc., is also a board member of the CFGH and serves as the Secretary-Treasurer for the organization. According to its website, TDVGlobal, Inc. “is a strategic management consulting company” focusing on the public sector.  It is based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.  Other members of the CFGH board are Edwin G. Marshall (our CEO and Chairman), Daniel D. Hoyt, a director of the Company, Jill C. Marshall, NMD, Mr. Marshall’s wife and a former corporate officer of the Company, and Dr. Ron St. John.

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting standard which requires a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to be consolidated by a company if that company absorbs a majority of the VIE’s expected losses and/or receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns as a result of holding variable interests, which are the ownership, contractual, or other financial interests in the entity.  In addition, a legal entity is considered to be a VIE, if it does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its own activities without relying on financial support from other parties.  If the legal entity is a VIE, then the reporting entity determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE must consolidate it.  We have determined that CFGH meets the requirements of a VIE, effective upon the first advance to CFGH on February 12, 2009.  Accordingly, the financial cond ition and operations of CFGH are being consolidated with Medizone as of and for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.



Results of Operations

We were incorporated in January 1986.  We are a development stage company primarily engaged in research into the medical uses of ozone.  Our current work is in the field of hospital sterilization, not human therapies.  We have not generated, and cannot predict when or if we will generate, revenues or sufficient cash flow to fund continuing or planned operations.   If we fail to obtain additional funding, we will be forced to suspend or permanently cease operations, and may need to seek protection under United States bankruptcy laws.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009

There were no sales during the quarters ended March 31, 2010 or 2009. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, we had a net loss of $326,647, compared with a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2009 of $223,732.  Our primary expense is payroll and consulting fees, research and development costs, office expenses, together with interest expense and additional expense recorded as a result of options granted to consultants, and the extension of certain stock purchase warrants outstanding.  

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we incurred $134,780 and $66,317 in research and development costs as a result of prototype development costs, consulting, and other research activities.  Since inception, we have spent a total of $3,374,569 for research and development related to our ozone technology and related apparatus. Research and development expenses include consultant fees, interface development costs, prototypes, and research stage ozone generator and instrument development.

General and administrative expenses in the quarter ended March 31, 2010, were $184,754 compared to $182,758 during the same period in 2009. The majority of these costs include payroll and consulting fees, and professional fees.  The remaining general and administrative expenses include rent, office expenses and travel expenses.  

Principal amounts owed on notes payable totaled $281,178 and $283,211 at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  Interest expense on these obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $5,954 and $5,914, respectively.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2010, our working capital deficiency was $3,141,037, compared to a working capital deficiency of $3,072,253 at December 31, 2009.  The stockholders’ deficit at March 31, 2010 was $3,343,425 compared to $3,273,502 at December 31, 2009.  

As a development stage company, we have had no revenues. We will continue to require additional financing to fund operations and to continue to fund the research necessary to undertake our new business plans, to further the ongoing testing as previously described, and then to market a system for hospital and medical sterilization.  Our only source of financing to date has been the periodic sale of common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we generated cash of $125,000 through common stock sales at $0.25 per share.  During April 2010, we raised an additional $212,400 through the sale of common stock at $0.12 per share.  However, we will need to raise additional capital in the near future in order to continue our research and development activities and to sustain operations.  We believe that we will be able to raise these additional needed funds from some of the same investors who have purchased shares during 2008 and 2009, although there is no assurance that these investors will purchase additional shares.  However, these investors have verbally committed to continue to fund our projects on a monthly basis, as needed.  

Our unaudited financial statements included in this report have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. Through the date of this report, it has been necessary to rely upon financing from the sale of our equity securities to sustain operations as indicated above. Additional financing will be required if we are to continue as a going concern. If additional financing is not obtained in the near future, we will be required to curtail or discontinue operations, or seek protection under the bankruptcy laws. Even if additional financing becomes available, there can be no assurance that it will be on terms favorable to the Company. In any event, this additional financing will likely result in immediate and possibly substantial dilution to existing shareholders.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of such statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. These estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions that management considers to be appropriate in the circumstances. However, actual future results may vary from these estimates, since by their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to bad debts, intangible assets, warranty obligations, product liabili ty, revenue, and income taxes.

We account for equity securities issued for services rendered at the fair value of the securities on the date of issuance.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to changes in prevailing market interest rates affecting the return on its investments but do not consider this interest rate market risk exposure to be material to our financial condition or results of operations.  We invest primarily in United States Treasury instruments with short-term (less than one year) maturities.  The carrying amount of these investments approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities.  Under current policies, we do not use derivative financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments or other financial instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates or commodity prices.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that



the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Item 2.

  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds


Three Months Ended March 31, 2010


In January and February, 2010, we issued an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock for cash proceeds totaling $125,000, or $0.25 per share.  The shares were issued in private transactions to four accredited investors not otherwise affiliated with the Company.  There were no underwriters involved.  The proceeds were used for general operating expenses and to pay for the development of the AsepticSure™ hospital sterilization system.


These sales were made without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) in reliance upon exemptions from registration, including, without limitation, the exemption provided under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for private and limited offers and sales of securities made to accredited investors, and the exemptions provided under Regulation D and Rule 506 under the Securities Act for private and limited offers and sales of securities made to accredited investors.


During February 2010, we issued a total of 137,000 restricted shares of common stock to two consultants for consulting, marketing, and web support services valued at a total of $39,730, or $0.29 per share, which represented the market value of the shares on the date that the shares were approved to be issued.  Both consulting agreements are based on a five-month term, the shares vest in equal increments, and the consulting expense is to be recognized over the same period.


On March 29, 2010, we issued a total of 250,000 restricted shares of common stock to a consulting firm for investor relation services valued at $47,500, or $0.19 per share, which represented the market value of the shares on the date that the shares were approved to be issued.  The consulting agreement is for the period of April 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.  


These issuances of shares were made without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon exemptions from registration, including, without limitation, the exemption provided under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for private and limited offers and sales of securities made to accredited investors.
