Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial information included herein is unaudited and has been prepared consistent with US generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. These notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. 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, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2     CANADIAN FOUNDATION FOR GLOBAL HEALTH

In late 2008, 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.

Accounting standards require 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 may be 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 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 have been consolidated with the Company for all periods presented.

NOTE 3     BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

The computations of basic and diluted net loss per common share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods as follows:

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012

NOTE 4     GOING CONCERN

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using US GAAP 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, 2013, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $30,472,290 as of March 31, 2013.  The Company does not have funds sufficient to cover its operating costs for the next 12 months, has a working capital deficit of $3,283,615, 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 future revenues, obtaining additional capital and ultimately, upon the Company’s attaining profitable operations.  The Company will require substantial, additional funds to complete the development of its products, perform hospital beta testing and fund additional losses, until future revenues are sufficient to cover the Company’s operating expenses. If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining additional funding, it may be forced to substantially reduce or cease operations.

The Company believes that it will need approximately $2,000,000 over the next 12 months for continuing research expenses, marketing, and related activities, as well as for general corporate purposes, including expanded manufacturing and sales.  

During 2012, the Company raised a total of $1,420,793 through the sale of 16,729,278 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.05 to $0.165 per share, which funds have been used to keep the Company current in its obligations and to pay certain other corporate obligations including the initial costs of development for its hospital disinfection system.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company raised a total of $367,000 through the sale of 12,233,332 shares of common stock at a price of $0.03 per share.  The Company believes it will be able to raise additional funds from some of the same investors who have purchased shares from 2009 to 2013, although there is no guarantee that these investors will purchase additional shares.  However, certain of these investors have verbally committed to continue to fund the Company’s projects on a monthly basis.

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 consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Litigation
Rakas vs. Medizone International, Inc. - A former consultant brought this action against the Company claiming the Company had failed to pay consulting fees under a consulting agreement.  In September 2001, the parties agreed to settle the matter for $25,000.  The Company, however, did not have the funds to pay the settlement and the plaintiff moved the court to enter a default judgment in the amount of $143,000 in January 2002.  On May 8, 2002, the court vacated the default judgment and requested that the Company post a bond of $25,000 to cover the settlement previously entered into by the parties.  The Company has been unable to post the required bond amount as of the date of this report.  Therefore, the Company has recorded, as part of accounts payable, the original default judgment in the amount of $143,000, plus fees totaling $21,308, as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The Company intends to contest the judgment if and when it is able to in the future.

Other Payables
As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company has recorded other payables totaling $224,852 related to certain past due payables for which the Company has not received invoices or demands for over 10 years.  Although management of the Company does not believe that the amounts will ever be paid, the amounts are being recorded as other payables until such time as the Company is certain that no liability exists and until the statute of limitations has expired.

Operating Leases
The Company operates a certified laboratory located at Innovation Park, Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, which provides a primary research and development platform.  The lease term expired on June 30, 2012, and is now operated on a month-to-month basis with a monthly lease payment of $1,350 Canadian dollars (“CD”) plus the applicable goods and services tax (“GST”). A lease for a second laboratory space for full scale room testing also expired on June 30, 2012, and is now operated on a month-to-month basis with a monthly lease payment of $1,250 CD, plus the applicable GST.  
 
In March 2011, the Company entered into a lease agreement and established its corporate offices in California that includes a monthly lease payment of $2,500 and was renewable on a month-to-month basis following the initial lease term that ended in May 2011.  The Company elected to terminate this lease in December 2011 and enter into a new corporate office lease effective January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012 with monthly payments of $2,100.  The lease term was extended for another year, through December 31, 2013, with monthly lease payments increasing from $2,100 to $2,200.  

NOTE 6     COMMON STOCK OPTIONS

On August 26, 2009, the Company granted options for the purchase of 1,500,000 shares of common stock 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 vested on the date certified by the Company as the date the Company’s hospital disinfection 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 50 units or devices have been sold to third parties by the Company.  As of March 31, 2013, 500,000 of the 1,500,000 options granted to this consultant had not yet vested.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012

NOTE 6     COMMON STOCK OPTIONS (continued)

In July 2010, the Company granted options for the purchase of 3,500,000 shares of common stock (of which 250,000 were cancelled in 2011) of common stock to certain board members and employees of the Company for services rendered.  These options are exercisable for five years from the date of grant at $0.20 per share, and vested when the Company achieved commercial sales during the third quarter of 2012.  

In September 2010, the Company granted options for the purchase of 250,000 shares of common stock to a consultant in connection with extending his consulting agreement with the Company through September 2011.  These options are exercisable at $0.275 per share for five years from the date of grant and vested when the Company achieved commercialization and sales of the AsepticSure™ product during the third quarter of 2012.  
 
In February 2012, the Board of Directors approved the 2012 Equity Incentive Award Plan and authorized up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock to be available for awards under the Plan.  On February 21, 2012, each of four directors of the Company was awarded stock options for the purchase of 1,000,000 shares of common stock, exercisable at a price of $0.23 per share, which was the fair value of the common stock based on the price of the Company’s common stock reported on the OTC Bulletin Board on the date of grant.  In addition, certain officers, consultants and employees of the Company were awarded options for the purchase of an aggregate 1,050,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.23 per share.  The value of these options granted, totaling $1,057,600, was recognized as expense during the three months ended March 31, 2012 as each of the options granted was fully vested on the date of grant.

In May 2012, the Company granted options for the purchase of 1,000,000 shares of common stock to an individual for services.  Options for 200,000 shares have vested and the remaining options will vest on the date certified by the Company as the date that the other milestones are achieved.  The options have an exercise price of $0.17 per share, and are exercisable for up to five years.  The value of these options granted was $153,997 in connection with which the Company recognized $15,399 during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

In May 2012, the Company granted options for the purchase of 1,000,000 shares of common stock to an individual for medical consulting support services already performed (vested immediately on the grant date) and to be performed in the future, which do not vest until completion of certain milestones.  The options have an exercise price of $0.17 per share, and are exercisable for up to five years.  The value of the vested options granted was $149,460 which the Company recognized $25,408 during the three months ended March 31, 2013.  As of March 31, 2013, options for the purchase of 840,000 of the 1,000,000 shares have vested.
 
In August 2012, the Company granted options for the purchase of 2,500,000 shares of common stock to three individuals in connection with the purchase of restricted stock, exercisable at a price of $0.05 per share.  No expense was recorded for these options as the value associated with these options was recorded as part of the stock transactions.
 
The Company estimated the fair value of the stock options described in the above paragraphs at the date of the grant, based on the following weighted average assumptions:
 
Risk-free interest rate
          2.46 %
Expected life
         
5 years
 
Expected volatility
    185.59 %
to
  196.94 %
Dividend yield
            0.00 %

NOTE 6     COMMON STOCK OPTIONS (continued)

A summary of the status of the Company’s outstanding options as of March 31, 2013, and for the three-month period then ended, is presented below:

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 option-pricing model is zero. Expense of $40,809 and $1,057,600 related to sock options was recorded for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  As of March 31, 2013, the Company had various unvested outstanding options with related unrecognized expense of $196,000.  The Company will recognize this expense as these options vest over their remaining useful lives, which range from 17 to 49 months.

NOTE 7     STOCK TRANSACTIONS AND SIGNIFICANT CONTRACTS

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company sold an aggregate of 12,233,332 restricted shares of common stock to 12 accredited investors for cash proceeds totaling $367,000, or $0.03 per share.

During January and February 2012, the Company sold an aggregate of 6,653,000 restricted shares of common stock to 30 accredited investors for cash proceeds of $665,300, or $0.10 per share.

During January 2012, the Company issued 903,089 shares of common stock to Mammoth Corporation (“Mammoth”) as part of a stock equity line (“Equity Line”) for cash proceeds of $149,010, or $0.165 per share.

Stock Purchase Agreement
In November 2010, the Company entered into a two-year Stock Purchase Agreement with Mammoth providing for the Equity Line. The Stock Purchase Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions in the Stock Purchase Agreement, Mammoth is committed to purchase up to $10,000,000 of shares of common stock over the term of the Stock Purchase Agreement under certain specified conditions and limitations. Furthermore, in no event may Mammoth purchase any shares of the Company’s common stock which, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock then beneficially owned by Mammoth, would result in the beneficial ownership by Mammoth of more than 4.9% of the then outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. These maximum share and beneficial ownership limitations may not be waived by the parties.
 
Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company had the opportunity for a 24-month period, commencing on the date on which the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) first declared effective the registration statement filed in connection with the resale of shares issued under the Equity Line, to require Mammoth to purchase up to $10,000,000 in shares of common stock. For each share of common stock purchased under the Stock Purchase Agreement, Mammoth will pay to the Company a purchase price equal to 75% of the lowest closing bid price during the five consecutive trading-day period (the “Draw Down Pricing Period”) preceding the date a draw down notice (the “Draw Down Notice”) is delivered by the Company to Mammoth (the “Draw Down Date”) in a manner provided by the Stock Purchase Agreement. Subject to the limitations outlined below, the Company may, at its sole discretion, issue a Draw Down Notice to Mammoth, and Mammoth will then be irrevocably bound to purchase such shares.  The SEC declared the registration statement effective on January 25, 2011.  The Stock Purchase Agreement and Equity Line terminated on January 25, 2013.
 
 
MEDIZONE INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012
 
ADA Innovations
 
In December 2010, the Company reached a Services Agreement with ADA Innovations (“ADA”) for final development and production manufacturing of portable versions (the “Projects”) of the Company’s AsepticSure™ disinfection systems (“ADS”).  A contract containing the terms of the agreement and detailed development plan was executed by the parties in January 2011 and amended in January 2012.  Any and all notes, reports, information, inventions, sketches, plans, concepts, data or other works created by ADA on its behalf under the Services Agreement will be the sole and exclusive property of the Company.
 
The term of the Services Agreement continues until the completion of the development and design projects contemplated by the Services Agreement, unless terminated earlier by either party in accordance with specific notices as outlined in the Services Agreement.  Deliverables include: (1) the pre-production prototype designed and manufactured to our specifications, (2) design and device content compliant with all North America, Europe and United Kingdom regulatory and licensing agency regulations, (3) a soft launch program managed by ADA and the Company, intended to be followed by increased production, and (4) additional outsourced macro-manufacturing capacity as required, supervised by the parties.  The Company paid ADA as services were provided and were completed by December 31, 2012.  During the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, the Company incurred expenses totaling approximately $42,000, for services provided under the Services Agreement, which expenses have been included in research and development costs.  No expenses under this contract were incurred during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013.

NOTE 8     ACCOUNTS PAYABLE – RELATED PARTIES
 
As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding $234,608 and $234,572, respectively, owed to certain
consultants for services rendered in prior years. These consultants are stockholders of the Company and therefore have been classified as related parties.
 
NOTE 9     SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
The Company has evaluated events subsequent to the period ended March 31, 2013 for potential accounting or disclosure.
 
In April 2013, the Company and Wood Wyant Canada (“Wood Wyant”), a subsidiary of Sanimarc Group, announced that Wood Wyant had become a National Hospital Distributor of AsepticSure in Canada.  Wood Wyant is national in scope and regional in focus, serving Canada from 16 diverse locations across all 10 provinces, providing both sales and service to the hospital market.  The Company delivered an initial order of 5 systems to Wood Wyant for proceeds totaling $375,000.  The Company has 10 more systems in production for Wood Wyant.
 
 
Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Introduction
 
Medizone International, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, “Medizone,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) has been a development stage company conducting research into the use of ozone in the disinfection of surgical and other medical treatment facilities and in other applications.  During 2012, we emerged from the development stage as we began to sell our patented ozone disinfection system, AsepticSure.
 
Recent Developments
 
We took delivery at the end of January 2013 of the first AsepticSure system constructed by our new contract manufacturer, Transformix Engineering, located in Ontario, Canada (“Transformix”).  Transformix delivered an additional three units from the initial build order during February 2013.  The units passed performance confirmation testing at our Innovation Park laboratories.  The build quality of the system appears to be very good.  We believe we now have a manufacturing source that is capable of meeting our anticipated production requirements.
 
Subsequent to December 31, 2012, Singapore issued us our Health Care Patent (P-no.: 176977 ‒ Healthcare Facility Disinfecting Process and System with Oxygen/Ozone Mixture).  We consider this significant for our business growth in Asia.  According to published reports, the treatment of non-resident and foreign patients (the “medical tourism market”) in Singapore has been growing rapidly and as reported by the Singapore press holdings on-line portal AsiaOne, there were approximately 850,000 foreign patients treated in Singapore medical facilities during 2012, producing revenues of about $3.5 billion.  We believe Singapore could become a lucrative market for AsepticSure sales as the medical system there seeks to distinguish itself with the safest hospitals possible in order to promote continued growth in the expanding medical tourism market.
 
In January 2013, we completed successful safety and preliminary operational trials of the AsepticSure system at the Belleville General Hospital site of Quinte Health Care in Canada.  Belleville General is a medium-sized community hospital affiliated with Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada.  In collaboration with Contamination Control Company (C3), an Ontario-based provider of AsepticSure services in Canada, these trials are believed to unequivocally demonstrate the safety and ease of operation of the AsepticSure disinfection system in a functioning health care setting.  During the tests, the turnaround time for disinfection and reoccupation of the hospital rooms was less than 90 minutes.

Results of Operations
 
Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012
 
During the third quarter of 2012, we exited the development stage as we commenced planned principal operations.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we had revenues of $4,554 with cost of goods sold of $4,000.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we had a net loss of $387,298, compared with a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 of $1,412,061.  The reduction in net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same quarter of 2012, was due to options granted to members of the Board of Directors for services rendered as well as consultants for performance bonuses during 2012, which options vested immediately and resulted in $1,057,600 of expense. Our primary expenses are payroll and consulting fees, research and development costs, office expenses and interest expense.
 
 For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we incurred $285,211 and $1,329,766, respectively, in general and administrative expenses. The majority of these expenses include payroll and consulting fees and professional fees.  The decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2013 over the prior year comparable period was primarily the result of the expense associated with options granted to members of the Board of Directors as well as consultants for performance bonuses as described above. The remaining general and administrative expenses include rent, office and travel expenses.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we incurred $85,771 and $68,249, respectively, in research and development expenses.  Research and development expenses include consultant fees, interface development costs, prototypes, and research stage ozone generator and instrument development and remained consistent from the prior year period.
 
Principal amounts owed on notes payable totaled $307,064 and $298,536 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  Interest expense on these obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $6,366 and $6,185, respectively. The applicable interest rates on this debt ranged from 7.75% to 10% per annum.
 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of March 31, 2013, our working capital deficiency was $3,283,615, compared to a working capital deficiency of $3,307,973 as of December 31, 2012. We have incurred significant losses from inception through March 31, 2013, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $30,472,290.  The stockholders’ deficit as of March 31, 2013 was $3,293,760, compared to $3,314,099 as of December 31, 2012 due to sale of restricted shares of common stock being greater than the net loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2013.
 
In 2012, we emerged from the development stage.  We will continue to require additional financing to fund operations and to undertake our new business plans to further the ongoing testing, and to market our hospital and medical disinfection system.  We believe that we will need approximately $2,000,000 over the next 12 months for continuing research expenses, marketing, product manufacturing and related activities, as well as for general corporate purposes.
 
            During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we generated cash of $367,000 through the sale of 12,233,332 shares of common stock to 12 accredited investors at a price of $0.03 per share.  We anticipate that we will be able to raise additional funds, as needed, from certain of the accredited investors who have purchased shares during previous years, although we have no agreements at this time with any of these investors, and there is no assurance that these investors will purchase additional shares.

Going Concern

            Our unaudited financial statements included in this report have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. There is substantial doubt that the Company will be able to 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.
 
Forward-Looking Statements and Risks Affecting the Company
 
The statements contained in this report on Form 10-Q that are not historical are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements discuss our expectations, hopes, beliefs, anticipations, commitments, intentions and strategies regarding the future. They may be identified by the use of the words or phrases “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “should,” “plans,” “estimates,” and “potential,” among others. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations regarding our financial performance, revenue and expense levels in the future and the sufficiency of existing assets to fund future operations and capital spending needs. Actual results could differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements for the reasons detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
We believe that many of the risks previously discussed in our SEC filings are part of doing business in the industry in which we operate and will likely be present in all periods reported. The fact that certain risks are endemic to the industry does not lessen their significance. The forward-looking statements contained in this report are made as of the date of this report and we assume no obligation to update them or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in such forward-looking statements. Among others, risks and uncertainties that may affect our business, financial condition, performance, development, and results of operations include:
 
·  
Rigorous government scrutiny and regulation of our products and planned products;

·  
Potential effects of adverse publicity regarding ozone and related technologies or industries;

·  
Failure to sustain or manage growth including the failure to continue to develop new products; and

·  
The ability to obtain needed financing.
 
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”). The preparation of such statements requires our management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. 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 intangible assets, expenses, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and other facts and circumstances that are believed to be reasonable, and the results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
We commenced sales and emerged from the development stage in 2012.  We recognize revenue when a contractual arrangement exists, product is shipped, payment from the customer is reasonably assured, and the price is fixed or determinable.  We record customer deposits that have not yet been earned as unearned revenue. Revenue is recognized only when title and risk of loss passes to customers.

Our inventory consists of our AsepticSure product and is valued on a “specific identification basis.”  We purchase our inventory as a finished product from unrelated manufacturing companies. We write off 100% of the cost of inventory that we specifically identify and consider obsolete or excessive to fulfill future sales estimates. We did not deem any inventory obsolete or excessive as of March 31, 2013.

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

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
None.
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of March 31, 2013, we updated our evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures for purposes of filing reports under the Exchange Act. This controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer. Our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that as of March 31, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information that we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance 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.
 
Changes in Internal Controls
 
We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that our books and records accurately reflect our transactions and that our established policies and procedures are followed. There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during our last quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The proceeds are being used for general operating expenses and the continuing development of the AsepticSure™ hospital disinfection system. The offer and sale of these securities was made without registration under 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 solely to accredited investors.
