FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or this Form 10-Q, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and we intend that such forward looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-Q, except for historical information, may be deemed forward-looking statements. You can generally identify forward-looking statements as statements containing the words “will,” “would,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “assume,” “can,” “could,” “plan,” “predict,” “should” or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, trends in our businesses, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements.

 

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations of our management based on available information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. As such, our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, some of which are listed under the section “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Readers should carefully review these risks, as well as the additional risks described in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In light of the significant risks and uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that such results will be achieved, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking information. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and stated in U.S. dollars, have been prepared by us, without an audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

These financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20212022 and notes thereto which are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K previously filed with the SEC on March 29, 2022.16, 2023. We follow the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports. The results of operations for the interim periods covered by this Form 10-Q may not necessarily be indicative of results of operations for the full fiscal year or any other interim period.

Principles of Consolidation

 

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

Table of Contents

 

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 material effect on previously reported results of operations or financial position.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, inventory, fair values of financial instruments, intangible assets, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, fair values of stock-based awards, income taxes, and contingent liabilities, among others. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of our assets and liabilities.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

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

 

 

Level 1:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

 

Level 2:

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

 

 

Level 3:

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

 

10

Table of Contents

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents includesinclude 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. At March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, there were no cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Our accounts receivable are typically from credit worthycredit-worthy customers or, for certain international customers, are supported by pre-payments. For those customers to whom we extend credit, we perform periodic evaluations of their status and maintain allowances for potential credit losses as deemed necessary. We have a policy of reserving for doubtful accountscredit losses based on our best estimate of the amount of potential credit losses in existing accounts receivable. We periodically review our accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Bad debt expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively was approximately $54,000 and 2021 was $0 and $115,000, respectively.$0. At March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the allowance for doubtful accounts reserve was $1,678,000.

Table of Contents

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories consist primarily of finished goods and raw materials.

 

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

 

We review inventory on an ongoing basis, considering factors such as deterioration and obsolescence. We record an allowance for estimated losses when the facts and circumstances indicate that particular inventories may not be usable. Our reserve for obsolete inventory was $0$95,000 as of March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021.2022.

 

Property and Equipment

 

We account for property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to five years. Depreciation for equipment, furniture and fixtures and vehicles commences once placed in service for its intended use. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the respective leases or service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.

 

Leases

 

We recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months, in accordance with ASC 842. We utilize the short-term lease recognition exemption for all asset classes as part of our on-going accounting under ASC 842. This means, for those leases that qualify, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses depends on classification as a finance or operating lease.

 

11

Table of Contents

As a lessee, we utilize the reasonably certain threshold criteria in determining which options we will exercise. Furthermore, our lease payments are based on index rates with minimum annual increases. These represent fixed payments and are captured in the future minimum lease payments calculation. In determining the discount rate to use in calculating the present value of lease payments, we used our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at adoption date in determining the present value of lease payments.

 

We have also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all asset classes, meaning all consideration that is fixed, or in-substance fixed, will be captured as part of our lease components for balance sheet purposes. Furthermore, all variable payments included in lease agreements will be disclosed as variable lease expense when incurred. Generally, variable lease payments are based on usage and common area maintenance. These payments will be included as variable lease expense when recognized.in the period in which they are incurred.

 

Capitalized Software Development Costs

 

In accordance with ASC 985-20 regarding the development of software to be sold, leased, or marketed, we expense such costs as they are incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at and after which time those costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. The periodic expense for the amortization of capitalized software development costs will be included in cost of sales. Amortization expense for both the periodsthree months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, was $0 and 2021, was $10,475.

$10,476, respectively.

Accounts Payable

 

As of March 31, 2022,2023, one vendor accounted for approximately 52%45% of accounts payable. As of December 31, 2021,2022, two vendors accounted for approximately 53%55% of accounts payable.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, two vendors accounted for 59% and 69%of cost of sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, two vendors accounted for 64%of cost of sales.sales, respectively.

 

Accrued Warranties

 

Accrued warranties represent the estimated costs, if any, that will be incurred during the warranty period of our products. We estimate the expected costs to be incurred during the warranty period and record the expense to the condensed consolidated statement of operations at the date of sale. Our manufacturers assume the warranty against product defects from date of sale, which we extend to our customers upon sale of the product. We assume responsibility for product reliability and results. As of March 31, 2022,2023, and December 31, 2021,2022, our warranty reserve was $68,000.$30,000 and $68,000, respectively. (See Note 14).

Income Taxes

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits that are, on a more likely than not basis, not expected to be realized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes guidance for income taxes. Net deferred tax benefits have been fully reserved at March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021. 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.2022.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic net income or (loss) per share is computed by dividing our net income or (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period presented. Diluted income or (loss) per share is based on the treasury stockif converted 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 March 31, 20222023 consisted of 2,826,7102,773,585 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, 413,000610,500 shares of common stock issuable upon outstanding optionsvesting and exercise and 63,750 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding shares of Preferred A stock (“Convertible Series A Preferred Stock”).

 

Potentially dilutive securities as of March 31, 20212022 consisted of 1,880,3832,826,710 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, 132,500413,000 shares of common stock issuable upon outstanding options and 63,750 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding shares of Preferred A stock (“Convertible Series A Preferred Stock”).

 

Diluted net income or (loss) per share is computed similarly to basic net income or (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential shares of common stock had been issued and if such additional shares were dilutive. Options, warrants, and preferred stock of approximately 3.33.4 million and 2.13.3 million exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock were outstanding at March 31, 20222023 and March 31, 2021,2022, respectively, but were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share at March 31, 20222023 due to the anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share.

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). We recognize revenue when we transfer promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation(s). At contract inception, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract, assess whether each promised good or service is distinct and identify those that are performance obligations.

 

14

Table of Contents

We must use judgment to determine: a) the number of performance obligations based on the determination under step (ii) above and whether those performance obligations are distinct from other performance obligations in the contract; b) the transaction price under step (iii) above; and c) the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract for the allocation of transaction price in step (iv) above.

12

Table of Contents

 

Title and risk of loss generally pass to our customers upon shipment. Our Customers include end users as well as dealers and distributors who market and sell our products. Our revenue is not contingent upon resale by the dealer or distributor, and we have no further obligations related to bringing about resale. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in Product Revenues. The associated expenses are treated as fulfillment costs and are included in Cost of Revenues. Revenues are reported net of sales taxes collected from Customers.

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

Table of Contents

 

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

 

Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer

 

We apply a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract with a customer when the amortization period would have been one year or less. We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling expenses.

 

Contract Balances

 

As of March 31, 2022,2023, and December 31, 20212022 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.

13

Table of Contents

 

Significant Judgments

 

Our contracts with customers for products and services often dictate the terms and conditions of when the control of the promised products or services is transferred to the customer and the amount of consideration to be received in exchange for the products and services.

 

Equity Compensation Expense

 

We account for equity compensation expense in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation.” Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, equity compensation expense is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value.

 

16

Table of Contents

The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of options and warrants issued as compensation during the period is the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the options. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on continuously compounded risk–free rates for the appropriate term. The expected term of the Company’s warrants has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards that qualify as “plain-vanilla” warrants. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero as the Company has never paid or declared any cash dividends on its Common Stock and does not intend to pay dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The expected forfeiture rate is estimated based on management’s best assessment.

 

On July 7, 2017, our shareholders approved the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2016 Plan. The 2016 Plan authorizes the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units/shares. Up to 2,000,000 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 us at the time of the award, and awards under the 2016 Plan are expressly conditioned upon such agreements. For the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and 2021,2022, we issued 51,75060,000 and 50,00051,750 shares of common stock, respectively, out of the 2016 Plan.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. We maintain cash balances at financial institutions which exceed the current Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit of $250,000 at times during the year.

 

Long-Lived Assets Including Acquired Intangible Assets

 

We assess long-lived assets for potential impairments at the end of each year, or during the year if an event or other circumstance indicates that we may not be able to recover the carrying amount of the asset. In evaluating long-lived assets for impairment, we measure recoverability of these assets by comparing the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If our long-lived assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair market value. We base the calculations of the estimated fair value of our long-lived assets on the income approach. For the income approach, we use an internally developed discounted cash flow model that includes, among others, the following assumptions: projections of revenues and expenses and related cash flows based on assumed long-term growth rates and demand trends; expected future investments to grow new units; and estimated discount rates. We base these assumptions on our historical data and experience, industry projections, micro and macro general economic condition projections, and our expectations. We had no long-lived asset impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021.2022.

 

Advertising and Promotional Expenses

 

We expense advertising costs in the period in which they are incurred. Advertising and promotional expenses for the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and 20212022 were approximately $197,000 and $194,000, and $266,000, respectively.

Research and Development Expenses

 

We expense research and development expenses in the period in which they are incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and 2021,2022, research and development expenses were approximately $71,000 and $37,000, and $196,000, respectively.

 

Business Segments

 

We currently have one reportable business segment due to the fact that we derive our revenue primarily from one product. A breakdown of revenue is presented in “Revenue Recognition” in Note 2 above.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recently issuedadopted accounting pronouncements

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. This ASU eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which we adopted on January 1, 2020. This ASU also enhances the disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the ASU amends the guidance on vintage disclosures to require entities to disclose current period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of ASC 326-20. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted the ASU prospectively on January 1, 2023. This ASU is currently not yet adoptedexpected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (Topic 805). This ASU requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities (deferred revenue) from acquired contracts using the revenue recognition guidance in Topic 606. At the acquisition date, the acquirer applies the revenue model as if it had originated the acquired contracts. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of theWe adopted this ASU should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is also permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If early adopted, the amendments are applied retrospectively to all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurred during the fiscal year of adoption.prospectively on January 1, 2023. This ASU is currently not expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832). This ASU requires business entities to disclose information about government assistance they receive if the transactions were accounted for by analogy to either a grant or a contribution accounting model. The disclosure requirements include the nature of the transaction and the related accounting policy used, the line items on the balance sheets and statements of operations that are affected and the amounts applicable to each financial statement line item and the significant terms and conditions of the transactions. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. We adopted ASU 2021-10 starting in 2022, which did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 7. LEASES

 

In April 2018, we entered into a 10-year lease agreement for a new 9,000-square-foot facility that contains office, warehouse, lab and research and development space in Frederick, Maryland. The lease agreement commenced in December 2018 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. A 7% discount rate was determined using used our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at adoption date in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We utilized the Black-Scholes model to fair value the warrant to purchase 125,000 shares of TOMI common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Common Stock”), issuedreceived by TOMI to Dr. Halden S. Shane, TOMI’sour Chief Executive Officer and a director on TOMI’s board of directors, on February 11, 2014 (the “Warrant”), to provide TOMI an option to repurchase the Warrant from Dr. Shane at a negotiated price. In connection with the Warrant Amendment, TOMI repurchasedfollowing assumptions: volatility, 139%; expected dividend yield, 0%; risk free interest rate, 3.59%; and an expected life of 5 years. The grant date fair value of each share of common stock underlying the warrant from Dr. Shane (the “Repurchase”) for an aggregate cash consideration of $314,500, representing a 15% discount of the net exercise cash value of the Warrant, which was calculated using the closing price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq on February 11, 2021 of $5.36, less the exercise price of the warrants in the amount of $2.40. On the same date, the Warrant Amendment and the Repurchase was considered, approved and adopted by a disinterested majority of TOMI’s board of directors.

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has temporarily increased the global demand for disinfection products and services that help prevent the spread and transmission of COVID-19 virus. The Company’s products have been identified as an essential disinfectant and decontamination vendor by various agencies and countries, which have materially affected its business and results of operations. The Company experienced a substantial increase in demand for our products and services in 2020 due to the pandemic. Throughout 2021, the Company experienced a reduction of demand due to various factors, including the closure of our major customers’ business operations due to the pandemic, which resulted in the suspension of many of its ongoing long-term projects. As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic began to subside and economic activities gradually return to normal in 2022, customers reallocated their resources elsewhere and reduced their spending on disinfection products, which resulted in lower demand for our products. It is difficult to predict how COVID-19 pandemic will affect the Company’s financial performance in the remainder of 2022,throughout fiscal year 2023, as the global economy gradually reopens, customers adjust and change their operations, and the Company implements new marketing and sales strategies in response.

NOTE 15. INCOME TAXES

 

For the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and 2021,2022, our provision for income tax was $0. 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 FASB ASC guidance for income taxes.Topic 740, Income Taxes. As of March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, we recorded a valuation allowance of $5,042,000$5,664,000 and $4,941,000,$5,332,000, respectively for the portion of the deferred tax assets that we do not expect to be realized. Management believes that based on the available information, it is more likely than not that the remaining U.S. deferred tax assets will not be realized, such that a full of 100% 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.

Quarterly Highlights

 

Business Update

 

The first four months of the 2022 fiscal year has been active with respect to our sales and business development. We remain focused on growing our top line revenue, expanding our customer base, adding key employees, and making further innovations to our product line.

The first quarter of 2022 delivered improved revenue and operating results as we achieved a 11% growth in our first quarter sales and 24% reduction in our operating expenses when compared to the same period last year .  Our first quarter revenue also grew by 15% sequentially over what was reported in the fourth quarter of 2021.  The increase in sales was primarily due to higher demand for our mobile equipment and iHP corporate services. 

In the first quarter of 2022,2023 we report positive cash flow from operations for first time since the second quartercontinued to expand our sales channels and distribution networks, increased brand awareness through marketing efforts and achieved a significant sales milestone with one of 2020, and this improvement in cash flow was attributable to customer deposits we received in the first quarter in addition to lower operating expenses. 

During the first quarter of 2022 we received approximately $3.5 million in orders from key fortune 500 customers, of which we anticipate about $3.2 million of which to be recognized as revenue in our current calendar year.  A key driver to our longer-term growth is strengthening demand for our Custom Engineered Systems (CES). We have secured several new orders for our iHP CES and more set to close eminently, revenue recognition will be upon delivery throughout 2022 and early 2023.

As the markets need for our automated disinfection CES continues to increase, TOMI has re-engaged with our manufacturing sales representatives and partners both domestically and internationally.  The renewed interest can be attributed to TOMI corporate’s support and the launch of the SteraMist Support Portal that is available on desktop.  We have also developed a mobile app which provides ease of use for sales support, branding, and assistance to our TOMI Service Network providers, sales representatives, and international distributors and end users.

Studies remain a focus as TOMI continues to pursue a wide array of industries. Studies focused on Botrytis cinerea and Mycotoxin, as well as furthering testing on chemical and biological warfare agents will further enhance TOMI’s ability to further penetrate the market.major customers.

Finally,During the first quarter we added one independent manufacturing representative and five distributors to our manufacturing capacityexpanding national and capabilities were improvedglobal network - JANZ Corporation, New England Scientific Associates (NESA) by Baker, Crow Food Safety (Pty) Ltd, ARES Scientific, PennCare and Technimount Systems. The newly added sales partners bring a wealth of experience and expertise in government, life sciences, and food safety markets located in the United States, Canada and South Africa. We have begun to deliver on new contracts, with multiple orders placed in the first quarter of 20222023. Our SteraMist inventory from these orders will enable our new partners to improve supply chain and operational efficacy by directly delivering SteraMist products to their customers.

U.S.-based medical supplier and distributor, JANZ Corporation, holds government contracts to provide medical and healthcare products to the Department of Homeland Security, Defense Logistics Agency, and Department of Defense. This collaboration presents an opportunity for us to expand our reach into the government sector as a trusted provider of disinfection solutions.

We also welcomed New England Scientific Associates (NESA) by Baker as a new independent manufacturing representative. NESA by Baker represents leading manufacturers of biotechnology and research equipment. With NESA’s expertise and established infrastructure, SteraMist is well-positioned to achieve success in our new turnkey integration projects, which involves integrating SteraMist into cage washers, decontamination chambers, and other related equipment.

Globally, we joined forces with Crow Food Safety (Pty) Ltd, also trading as Crow Environmental Solutions. The company is a life science and medical industry distributor and a preferred supplier of food safety and hygiene products in South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, representing our first venture in this region, while furthering expansion in the food safety industry on a global scale.

In a strategic move to further its reach in the life sciences industry, our manufacturing representative, ARES Scientific, has evolved its service model and is now a new distributor of our products. With a track record of successfully selling SteraMist, ARES Scientific has earned a reputation as a reliable and innovative provider of cutting-edge products for vivarium and life science facilities. The new role of ARES as a SteraMist distributor opens growth opportunities for us in the life science market.

PennCare will help us strength our presence in the emergency medical services market throughout the United States.

Technimount System is a highly reputable manufacturer and distributor that provides products to a variety of industries, including emergency medical services, hospitals, and military environments. With an extensive network of customers, Technimount has established itself as a trusted source for high-quality products and services. As part of its commitment to providing top-of-the-line solutions, Technimount System has recently signed an exclusive agreement with TOMI, a leading provider of disinfection and decontamination solutions. Technimount has adopted TOMI’s SteraMist system as its preferred disinfection solution, allowing Technimount to offer its customers a more effective and efficient way of disinfecting their environments.

In the first quarter, we received notification of global acceptance as a provider of decontamination services and equipment for an American multinational pharmaceutical and biotechnology corporation, which we have been providing iHP decontamination services and selling capital equipment to many of its facilities for many years. This represents a major milestone for us, as it promises to allow for easier acceptance in future and additional facilities of the corporation and its subsidiaries.

During the first quarter, we remained active in our marketing initiatives and attended and presented our SteraMist brand of products at three leading pharmaceutical conferences held by the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE). In addition, we are shortly launching our new website, which will be accessible through the new domain name steramist.com. The refreshed website will offer a modern, user-friendly design and streamlined navigation, providing visitors with easy access to essential information about SteraMist products and services. It features a sleek and professional design, highlighting SteraMist’s advanced disinfection technology and its many applications in various industries. Visitors can learn about the benefits of using SteraMist’s patented ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (iHP) technology, which has been proven to kill harmful pathogens, including COVID-19, with unmatched efficacy and efficiency.

As the market shifts to fully automatic disinfection decontamination, TOMI continues to market and submit bids on CES projects and building the pipeline for these installations. Further, TOMI has expanded bandwidth to meet the demands for the product line and has not been significantly affected by the global supply chain issues.

During the first quarter, we delivered a CES system to Orna Therapeutics, a leading biotechnology company located in Massachusetts. As we complete each CES project, our iHP technology is becoming widely preferred as a decontamination solution for pharmaceutical and biotech companies. Further, with each new CES installation the product line becomes more of a turnkey solution. We obtained the Orna project through a prior colleague from Dana Farber Cancer Institute who became a spokesperson to the preference of SteraMist iHP for Orna.

SteraMist Manufacturing remains on schedule for the delivery of two additional CES’s this year and routinely continues to bid out projects for current and potential new customers alike. These referrals and acceptances of TOMI’s SteraMist iHP technology is expected to lead to growth in our CES revenue in 2023, 2024 and beyond. In addition, we believe the CES systems will have a positive impact on our long-term recurring BIT solution sales.

During the first quarter, we continued to add notable research universities to our growing portfolio with the addition of ARM Enertech Associates whothe University of Hawaii and Oregon State University. On March 8, 2023 we entered into a Service Agreement with LFB USA a company within the LFB Group, a leading European biopharmaceutical company specialized in the development and manufacturing of innovative biotherapies which commits LFB to engage TOMI for high level disinfection of one or more facilities.

 Vertical Crop Consultants, a Food Safety Independent Sales Representative partner to TOMI as of late last year, was onboarded as a formal customer during our first quarter 2023. Vertical Crop has generated interest in the industry during their short time with TOMI and now as a customer completed a joint study with an American seed company and head breeder for one of the world’s most famous cannabis strains. This third-party study found SteraMist to be effective in eliminating aspergillus and powdery mildew while protecting cannabis growth and without affecting quality. Each phase of the study proved SteraMist iHP can manufacturebe a consistent solution to prevent spores at every stage of the growing process, a huge cost savings for the industry.

The total amount of our CESrecognized revenue and customer sales backlog for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was approximately $3,129,000 which was comprised of recognized revenue of $1,582,000 and a customer sales backlog of approximately $1,547,000 of which we received $618,000 as cash deposit.

In evaluating sales related performance, management analyzes our revenue recognized for GAAP purposes which is presented in their Pennsylvania facility. Furthermore, our existing manufacturer Planet Innovation has expanded into California providing easier access toquarterly and annual statement of operations as well as our sales orders we receive from customers during those same accounting periods. We define a “sales order” as a document we generate for our internal technology teamuse in processing a customer order. Our sales orders essentially translate the format of the customer purchase orders we receive from our customers into the format used by us. We also evaluate our “customer sales backlog” which is defined as pending sales orders where revenue has not yet been recognized. Management believes analyzing the sales order and a lower costbacklog metrics are useful in domestic shipment charges. We anticipate these developments will reducemeasuring our overall costssales and manufacturing lead times.business development performance as it gauges the overall volume of sales and business development activities.

 

Product Development

 

As many industrial companiesOur recent products developed and launched are reducing R&Das follows:

SteraMist Engineering has been diligently working with an up-and-coming California cell therapy manufacturer on a revolutionary game changing prototype for the industry – an industry that is expected to be $11.6 billion by 2030. The order received late last year for the prototype is currently set to be completed by the end of June 2023.

SteraMist Engineering continues to make strides collaborating with key manufactures of cleanroom technology and capital expenditures spending dueequipment developing a turnkey seamless decontamination integration to the economic impact of the pandemic, we are moving aheadchambers, cabinets, passthroughs, isolators, cage washers, heat sterilizers, hot cells and more. TOMI begins this endeavor with many new products in development. In 2022, we intend to increase capital expenditures (CapEx) and operating expenditures (OpEx), including development of new products, servicesa project management, turnkey modular solution and process technologies to sharpen our competitive advantage. In addition,design consulting firm that we intend to expand our commercial service location to meet the expanding needshave partnered with in one of our customers.previous CES projects.

 

The second half of 2020 showed us that our customers prefer a disinfection device with lower cost and more versatility. To respond, we developed the Backpack (SteraPak) that includes our award winning 6-log and above kill technology and speed. In addition, our solution and process are environmentally friendly as the only biproduct from our decontamination process is oxygen and humidity. Our solution is OMRI certified and organically listed in the United States and Canada it is sustainably a green product with no or very little carbon footprint. We have competitively priced our SteraPak and expect to bring SteraMist to the largest cleaning market in the world, including members of ISSA (International Sanitary Supply Association) and its divisions IEHA (Integrated Environment and Health Assessment) and EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa). These organizations have historically been price conscious and were resistant early on to our SteraMist pricing of our professional decontamination equipment (SteraMist Surface and Environment Unit). As planned, we introduced our new innovative SteraPak domestically towards the end of the third quarter 2021.

During the third quarter 2021, we established and expanded our production capacity with the construction and purchase of the tooling and molds used in the production of our SteraPak. Our tooling and molds will allow us to streamline production and reduce manufacturing lead times and costs on the SteraPak.

Other new products that have been incorporated into our product line include the Select Plus, which is aPlus-a hybrid product consisting of the Company’s current Surface Select and Environment systems. The unit will allow forprovide enhanced flexibility by using a single applicator to decontaminate full-room to small-space volume while maintaining the size of the current Surface Select unit with more robust process controls. The iHP SteraMist Transport System has been designed for the transportation market, specifically ambulances. The iHP SteraMist Transport System is a simple timer based fogging system that can be installed semi-permanently or permanently and used for any transport and/or cargo vehicle. It will be an easy-to-use turn-key integration system. TheWe expect the implementation of this product and our patented non-corrosive iHP technology should replacetoreplace the number one competitor in this marketplace, which uses an extremely harsh chemical.

 

Many of our customers have been waiting for the release and demonstration of these new products, especially the SteraPak.  All SteraMist systems will remain important to the marketplace as they are designed for specific needs and budgets. The Select Surface Unit performperforms most of the functionality that the Plus offers and is priced at a lower cost, although Select Plus will provide additional options that are appealing to certain customers, such as laboratory and pharmaceutical companies. The SteraPak is a more cost-effective product and designed for residential and commercial real estate including large buildings and public space, any area that needs quick consistent disinfection. There are many new and existing clients that are interested in the SteraPak due to the cost and mobility.

TOMI recently launched its fourth generation SteraMist Environment System. The system will now be 24 volts, allowing for universal outlet usage and convert even more of the hydrogen peroxide BIT Solution to hydroxyl radicals thus lowering H2O2 PPM levels allowing for faster turnaround time. In addition, the unit will have eight (8) outputs where four (4) are dedicated to our regular process of constant or pulse Injection, Dwell, and Aeration along with a light beacon status bar and four (4) are programmable to meet the customer needs for any external equipment they may desire to work with the system. This system is currently on the market, has been implemented by customers and receiving praise for its further developments.

 

In third quarter of 2021, we expanded ourOur SteraMist® BITsolution product line withis currently made up of a 32-ounce bottle for the SteraPak, and the introduction of a ten (10) liter, and five (5) gallon, 55 gallon drum for our custom built-ins and our traditional one (1) gallon bottle. These three new additions bringThis brings the BIT Solution product line to a total of five (5) options provided to our customers, which should alsowill benefit our razor razor/razor-blade business model.

 

TheseWe expect these new products and service introductions can significantlywill positively impact our net sales, cost of sales and operating expenses. The timing of product introductions can also impact the Company’s net sales to its indirect distribution channels as these channels are filled with new inventory following a product launch, and channel inventory of an older product often declines as the launch of a newer product approaches. Net sales can also be affected when consumers and distributors anticipate a product introduction domestically and internationally.expenses during this fiscal year.

Overview

 

TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (“TOMI”, “we” and “our”) is a global bacteria decontamination and infectious disease control company, providing environmental solutions for indoor air and surface decontamination through the manufacturing, sales, service and licensing of our SteraMist® brand of products, including SteraMist® BIT™, a low percentage (7.8%) hydrogen peroxide-based fog or mist that uses Binary Ionization Technology (BIT™(“BIT™”). Our solution and process are environmentally friendly as the only biproductby-product from our decontamination process is oxygen and humidity. Our solution is organicallyorganic and is listed in the United States and Canada it isas a sustainably a green product with no or very little carbon footprint. Most of our competitors in the disinfection space leave significant byproductsby-products and are corrosive. SteraMist is not corrosive, and it does not damage equipment or facilities.

 

Our SteraMist® is a patented technology that produces ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (iHP™(“iHP™”) using cold plasma science created under a grant by the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)(“DARPA”). Our EPAEnvironmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) registered BIT™ Solution is composed of a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide converted to iHP™ after passing the trade secret blended solution including its sole active ingredient of 7.8% hydrogen peroxide through an atmospheric cold plasma arc. The newly formed iHP™ fog and mist consists of submicron’s to 3-micron radical particles that are carried throughout the treatment area in a fog or mist moving with the same velocity and characteristics of a gas. This allows the ionized hydrogen peroxide fog or mist to affect all surfaces and air space throughout the targeted treatment area, over, above and beyond the ability of a manual cleaning processes. iHP™ damages pathogenic organisms through the oxidation of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. SteraMist® no-touch disinfection and or decontamination treat areas mechanically, causing cellular disruptions and/or dysfunctions resulting in a 6-log (99.9999%) and greater kill or inactivation of all pathogens in the treatment area. This is a science that the world needs to follow. This simple and effective process-takes 7.8 % hydrogen peroxide and under pressure pushes the liquid through a nozzle in which the stream is met by an atmospheric cold plasma arc which converts the hydrogen peroxide into a plasma created hydroxyl radical with 6-log and greater kill. This is a duplication of what occurs in atmospheric chemistry and the only by-product is oxygen and humidity.

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 disinfectants. 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 Clostridium difficile Spores and MRSA, as well as the influenza (Avian) virus h1n1, which we believe has better positioned us to penetrate all industries including the biodefense 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). In March 2020, our EPA label was further amended to include Emerging Viral Pathogens claims, thus meeting the criteria against Enveloped viruses and Large Non-enveloped viruses and included on List N (Emerging Viral Pathogens including SARS-CoV-2). In 2021, the EPA granted SteraMist® BIT™ 0.35% hydrogen peroxide – EPA registration number 90150-3. On June 2, 2022, SteraMist was included on the EPA’s List Q for the use of its BIT solution to help fight the spread of rare or novel viruses such as Monkeypox virus, SARS-CoV-2 and its variants that causes COVID-19.

 

SteraMist® BIT™ brings to the world a mechanical and automated method of cleaning using a game-changing technology and EPA registered Hospital-HealthCare disinfectant providing an upgrade to existing disinfecting and cleaning protocols while limiting liability in a facility when it comes to resistant infectious pathogens. We maintain this registration in all fifty (50) states, Washington DC, Canada, and approximately thirty-five (35)forty (40) other countries.countries receive our product.

Each of these are structured to address the unique disinfection and decontamination needs of our customers worldwide regardless of industry requiring or requesting SteraMist® disinfection decontamination.

 

A brief overview of the target industries is presented below:

 

Life Sciences

 

The SteraMist® SteraMist® Environment System, Custom Engineered Systems (CES),CES, the SteraMist® Select Surface Unit, Select Surface Unit (Plus), SteraMist Transport System, SteraBox, 90 Degree Applicator and our iHPCorporate Service Division, are designed to be tailored to provide a complete solution to address the regulatory inspections of disinfecting/decontaminating and Installation Qualification (IQ)-Operational Qualification (OQ)–Performance Qualification (PQ) validation processes within the life sciences industry.

 

Long term, ongoing projects and validations continue to be a focus and lead to proposals and interest for our CES permanent decontamination room. As these are longer lead-time sales and manufactured upon order that can take months to design, buildprocure, assemble, and implement, weinstall. The continuous use of the systems or purchasing of BIT Solution occurs once the system has been commissioned and validated. We expect installations to have a positive material impact to our results in 2022.2023 and 2024.

 

Further, we believe that post COVID pandemicTOMI’s iHP service department continues to grow with new and existing customers in several divisions. In the life science sector, TOMI’s iHP service department has brought some attentionkept its relationships with large pharmaceuticals (Pfizer/ThermoFisher) as well as adding several smaller life science companies (ForDoz/Lonza) to the SteraMist product line, as our CES in Pfizer Missouri was recently showcased in a New York Times article as they featured their COVID vaccine processes.regular decontamination schedule. In addition our iHP Corporate Service teamto these productions’ facilities, TOMI has treated one of four fill linesBSL-3 research laboratories in a North Carolina pharmaceutical company that manufactures oneall parts of the COVID vaccines, withcountry within the remaining three lines set to be decontaminated inlast two months (UNM/UNC/Bioqual/Scripps). The food safety department steadily gains traction as several plant/produce companies have expressed interest as new and emerging bacteria, toxins, and fungi hamper production. Finally, the future with SteraMist.commercial division is a stable source of revenue for TOMI and its service network who are routinely treating public facilities after man-made and natural disasters.

 

For 20222023 and beyond, TOMI expects growth in SteraMist Custom Engineered Systems (CES)CES bids and the manufacturing and implementation of these fully automated decontamination systems. The installed CES will also result in increased solution sales for the Life Sciences as the CES’s are used at regular intervals. The first CES system was completed in 2016 for Dana Farber Cancer Institute, as Dana Farber was designing a new vivariumandvivarium and had the opportunity to integrate several new technologies to advance overall efficiency, quality, and design. One such technology was the use of our ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (iHP)iHP decontamination. TOMI’s CES is an automated system that can be fully integrated into any company’s infrastructure, enabling decontamination, without burdening manual use and with the collaboration of current premier customers and partners, TOMI since then has further perfected the system. The CES eliminates issues such as human error, guarantees accuracy that is unmatched by competitors, and decreases a client’s labor cost and downtime, and in a short time the CES may make up a majority of TOMI’s revenue. Since its launch, SteraMist’s CES has become a leading solution to growing customer demands.

Every day there are news articles around the world pertaining to the contamination of food supply. Unsafe food containing harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites, or chemical substances causes more than 200 diseases, ranging from diarrhea to cancers. It also creates a vicious cycle of disease and malnutrition, particularly affecting infants, young children, elderly and the sick. With the global population explosion, severe worldwide avian flu pandemics resulting in the unnecessary culling of bird flocks, unusually high number of accidents resulting in the destruction of dozens of storages, packing and processing food plants, in the U.S. alone, we anticipate an increase in the demand for a mechanical way to disinfect our food supply. Every day there are news articles around the world pertaining to the contamination of food supply. The many published articles that the USDATOMI has, in cooperation with TOMI havethe USDA, demonstrated that our technology offers a consistent, quick, and effective alternative to the traditional, decade’s old chemical disinfection process.

 

SteraMist will deliver more consistent and quicker results in all areas of our food supply- From Farm to Market, Processing to packaging and Storage to delivery. We plan on pursuing all these avenues. With the continued testing and need for the market coupled with our new .35% label, should make pursuing these opportunities successful. In addition, our solution and process isare environmentally friendly in that the biproductby-product of SteraMist is only oxygen and humidity.

We have filed and have been granted or have pending acceptance on thirty-two (32) separate design patents for our: Decontamination Chamber(s), Decontamination Applicator, Decontamination Cart, Applicator, and Surface Mounted Applicator 90-Degree Device. These patents are published around the world, including but not limited to United States, China, Hong Kong, Europe, United Kingdom, Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam, Canada, South Korea, and Japan. We are also pursuing IP protection for further applications of our SteraMist BIT in diverse fields atin multiple jurisdictions, such as food decontamination.decontamination and, as the initial DARPA grant proved the application of iHP for the protection of buildings post outbreak or after a biological attack. With worldwide attention on the etiology of SARs CoV2 coming from a lab leak, attention on the prevention and control of a leak or mishap should be on the mind of all the biological labs managers around the world. The fact that iHP and our BIT platform can be incorporated in a new or existing buildings to create an “immune building” should assist in further lab applications of SteraMist in the biosecurity industry in the future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2022,2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $5,330,000approximately $2,469,000 and working capital of $10,797,000.$7,870,000. Our principal capital requirements are to fund operations, invest in research and development and capital equipment, and the continued costs of compliance with public company reporting requirements. We have historically funded our operations through funds generated through operations and debt and equity financings. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and may include operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot be certain that any financing will be available in the amounts we need or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

 

In September 2021, we sold 2,869,442 shares of common stock through a registered direct offering to certain institutional investors and issued warrants to purchase 1,434,721 warrantsshares of common stock in a concurrent private placement. We received net proceeds from the transaction of $4,581,651, after deducting the placement agent’s fees and other estimated offering expenses. The Warrants have an exercise price of $1.68 per share, are exercisable immediately upon issuance and have a term of exercise equal to five years from the date of issuance.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we incurred a loss from operations of ($660,000) and ($1,510,000), respectively. Cash provided from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $27,000. Cash used in operations was $1,225,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Financing Activities

 

Cash provided by financing activities for three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 and 2021 was $0$0.

 

Liquidity

 

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

 

 

·

ramp up and expansion of our internal sales force and manufacturers’manufacturer’s representatives;

 

·

length of our sales cycle;

 

·

global response to the outbreak of COVID-19 Pandemic;infectious diseases;

 

·

expansion into new territories and markets; and

 

·

timing of orders from distributors.

 

We could incur operating losses and an increase of costs related to the continuation of product and technology development, sales expense as we continue to grow our sales teams, inventory as we continue to ensure we have products needed and geographic presence, tooling capital expenditures as we ramp up and streamline our production and administrative activities including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 Section 404.

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

 

 

·

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

 

·

continued expansion of our internal sales force and manufacturer representatives in an effort to drive global revenue in all verticals;

 

·

continue research and development and add new products to our “Stera” product line;

 

·

source alternative lower-cost suppliers;

 

·

expansion of international distributors; and

 

·

continued growth in all of our verticals.

During 2022, we experienced increased demand for our CES where we collect deposits upon the execution of the contract. The deposits we receive fund the production for the CES and improve our overall liquidity through the duration of the project. We believe our sales for our CES will continue to grow in 2023 and improve our financial results from a liquidity perspective as well as improve our operating margins due to the higher recurring solution sales we see for our CES system.

As of March 31, 2023, we maintained a customer sales backlog of $1,547,000 of which we anticipate will be recognized into revenue and will provide a boost to our cash generated from core operations in our 2023 calendar year. We believe our sales pipeline and the related deferred revenue will continue to grow in 2023 and improve our liquidity position during the next twelve months.

 

We expect that the cash we generate from our core operations will generally be sufficient to cover our future capital expenditures and to pay down our near-term debt obligations, although we may choose to seek alternative financing sources.obligations.

We believe that our existing balance of cash and cash equivalents and amounts expected to be provided by operations will provide us with sufficient financial resources to meet our cash requirements for operations, working capital and capital expenditures over the next twelve months.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

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

 

The SEC defines critical accounting policiesestimates 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 policiesestimates to be critical to an understanding of our condensed consolidated financial statements and the uncertainties associated with the complex judgments made by us that could impact our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). We recognize revenue when we transfer promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation(s). At contract inception, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract, assess whether each promised good or service is distinct and identify those that are performance obligations.

 

We must use judgment to determine: a) the number of performance obligations based on the determination under step (ii) above and whether those performance obligations are distinct from other performance obligations in the contract; b) the transaction price under step (iii) above; and c) the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract for the allocation of transaction price in step (iv) above.

 

Title and risk of loss generally pass to our customers upon shipment. Our Customerscustomers include end users as well as dealers and distributors who market and sell our products. Our revenue is not contingent upon resale by the dealer or distributor, and we have no further obligations related to bringing about resale. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in Product Revenues. The associated expenses are treated as fulfillment costs and are included in Cost of Revenues. Revenues are reported net of sales taxes collected from Customers.customers.

 

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

 

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

 

Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer

 

We apply a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract with a customer when the amortization period would have been one year or less. We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling expenses.

Contract Balances

 

As of March 31, 2022,2023, and December 31, 20212022 we did not have any unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.

 

Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations

 

Our contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are primarily distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations.

 

Significant Judgments

 

Our contracts with customers for products and services often dictate the terms and conditions of when the control of the promised products or services is transferred to the customer and the amount of consideration to be received in exchange for the products and services.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, inventory, fair values of financial instruments, intangible assets, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, fair values of stock-based awards, income taxes, and contingent liabilities, among others. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of our assets and liabilities.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

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

 

 

Level 1:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

 

Level 2:

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

 

 

Level 3:

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

 

51

Table of Contents

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

 

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

39

Table of Contents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Our accounts receivable are typically from credit worthy customers or, for certain international customers, are supported by pre-payments. For those customers to whom we extend credit, we perform periodic evaluations of them and maintain allowances for potential credit losses as deemed necessary. We have a policy of reserving for doubtful accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of potential credit losses in existing accounts receivable. We periodically review our accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

 

Inventories

 

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

 

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

 

We review inventory on an ongoing basis, considering factors such as deterioration and obsolescence. We record an allowance for estimated losses when the facts and circumstances indicate that particular inventories may not be usable.

Property and Equipment

We account for property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to five years. Depreciation for equipment, furniture and fixtures and vehicles commences once placed in service for its intended use. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the respective leases or service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.

 

Leases

 

We recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months, in accordance with ASC 842. We utilize the short-term lease recognition exemption for all asset classes as part of our on-going accounting under ASC 842. This means, for those leases that qualify, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses depends on classification as a finance or operating lease.

 

As a lessee, we utilize the reasonably certain threshold criteria in determining which options we will exercise. Furthermore, our lease payments are based on index rates with minimum annual increases. These represent fixed payments and are captured in the future minimum lease payments calculation. In determining the discount rate to use in calculating the present value of lease payments, we used our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at adoption date in determining the present value of lease payments.

 

52

Table of Contents

We have also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all asset classes, meaning all consideration that is fixed, or in-substance fixed, will be captured as part of our lease components for balance sheet purposes. Furthermore, all variable payments included in lease agreements will be disclosed as variable lease expense when incurred. Generally, variable lease payments are based on usage and common area maintenance. These payments will be included as variable lease expense when recognized.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

In accordance with ASC 985-20 regarding the development of software to be sold, leased, or marketed we expense such costs as they are incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at and after which time those costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. The periodic expense for the amortization of capitalized software development costs will be included in cost of sales.

40

Table of Contents

Accrued Warranties

Accrued warranties represent the estimated costs, if any, that will be incurred during the warranty period of our products. We estimate the expected costs to be incurred during the warranty period and record the expense to the condensed consolidated statement of operations at the date of sale. Our manufacturers assume the warranty against product defects which we extend to our customers upon sale of the product. We assume responsibility for product reliability and results.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits that are, on a more likely than not basis, not expected to be realized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) guidance for income taxes.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

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

Equity Compensation Expense

We account for equity compensation expense in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation.” Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, equity compensation expense is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period.

On July 7, 2017, our shareholders approved the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2016 Plan. The 2016 Plan authorizes the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units/shares. Up to 625,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under the 2016 Plan. Shares issued under the 2016 Plan may be either authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or any combination thereof. Provisions in the 2016 Plan permit the reuse or reissuance by the 2016 Plan of shares of common stock for numerous reasons, including, but not limited to, shares of common stock underlying canceled, expired, or forfeited awards of stock-based compensation and stock appreciation rights paid out in the form of cash. Equity compensation expense will typically be awarded in consideration for the future performance of services to us. All recipients of awards under the 2016 Plan are required to enter into award agreements with us at the time of the award; awards under the 2016 Plan are expressly conditioned upon such agreements.

On December 30, 2020, we received shareholder approval to amend and restate the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the maximum number of shares of common stock authorized from issuance by 1,375,000, from 625,000 shares to 2,000,000.

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 three months ended March 31, 20222023 and 2021.2022.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recently issuedadopted accounting pronouncements

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. This ASU eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which we adopted on January 1, 2020. This ASU also enhances the disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the ASU amends the guidance on vintage disclosures to require entities to disclose current period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of ASC 326-20. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted the ASU prospectively on January 1, 2023. This ASU is currently not yet adoptedexpected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (Topic 805). This ASU requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities (deferred revenue) from acquired contracts using the revenue recognition guidance in Topic 606. At the acquisition date, the acquirer applies the revenue model as if it had originated the acquired contracts. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of theWe adopted this ASU should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is also permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If early adopted, the amendments are applied retrospectively to all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurred during the fiscal year of adoption.prospectively on January 1, 2023. This ASU is currently not expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832). This ASU requires business entities to disclose information about government assistance they receive if the transactions were accounted for by analogy to either a grant or a contribution accounting model. The disclosure requirements include the nature of the transaction and the related accounting policy used, the line items on the balance sheets and statements of operations that are affected and the amounts applicable to each financial statement line item and the significant terms and conditions of the transactions. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. We adopted ASU 2021-10 starting in 2022, which did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are intended to ensureBased on 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 toevaluation, our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Based on that evaluation, our management has concluded that as of March 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level because we have identified a material weaknesseffective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed below, and such material weakness has not been remediated as of March 31, 2022.identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

OurLimitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures areand internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed toand operated, can provide only 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 and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. 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.

Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management have concluded that, as of March 31, 2022, we did not maintain effective controls over the preparation, review, presentation and disclosure of our financial statements relating to bad debt. Specifically, we noted the following:

·

We did not design or maintain effective controls with respect to the review of the accounting for bad debt reserves, including maintaining effective controls to prevent or detect errors in the assessment of bad debt reserves. Specifically, our policy for bad debt reserves was primarily based on customer relationships and management’s view of the collectability of the receivables. The bad debt expense analysis resulted in a material adjustment to accounts receivable and bad debt expense for the year ended December 31, 2021.

·

We did not maintain effective controls to identify and maintain segregation of duties to support the identification, authorization, approval, accounting for, and the disclosure of bad debt reserves.

These control deficiencies did not result in a misstatement to our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, following the adjustment to accounts receivable as discussed above. However, these control deficiencies, if not remediated, could result in a misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements which would result in a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, our management has determined that these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses.

Remediation Plans

Our management, with oversight from our Audit Committee, is in the process of developing and implementing remediation plans in response to the identified material weaknesses described above. Specifically, we are revising our bad debt reserve policy to consider the time of balances outstanding along with the credit worthiness of the customer and revising our review and approval policies and procedures to include segregation of duties and approvals. 

We believe the measures described above will remediate the control deficiencies we have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. These material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable remediated controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes and will continue to review, optimize and enhance our financial reporting controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During our most recent fiscal quarter, except as otherwise disclosed above regarding the material weakness and our remediation plan, 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.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. We currently are not a party to any legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, in management’s opinion, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, any litigation could have an adverse impact on us due to defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

You should carefully consider the information described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021,2022, as filed with the SEC on March 29, 2022.16, 2023. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors we previously disclosed in our filings with the SEC, including the Form 10-K. Our operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or by factors that we currently consider immaterial to our business.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to regain and maintain compliance with continued listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Nasdaq Capital Market’s continued listing standards for our common stock require, among other things, that (i) we maintain a closing bid price for our common stock of at least $1.00, and (ii) we maintain: (A) stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million; (B) market value of listed securities of $35 million; or (C) net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years. Any failures to satisfy any continued listing requirements could lead to the receipt of a deficiency notice from the Nasdaq and ultimately to a delisting from trading of our common stock.

On April 14, 2022, we received a deficiency letter notifying us that we had not maintained a closing bid price for our common stock of at least $1.00 for a 30-day period. In accordance with Nasdaq rules, we have been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until October 11, 2022 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the bid price requirement. If we do not regain compliance with the bid price requirement by the Compliance Date, we may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period. If we do not regain compliance with the bid price requirement by October 11, 2022 and are not eligible for an additional compliance period at that time, our common stock will be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. We cannot be certain that we will be able to regain compliance and then maintain compliance with the minimum bid price and the other standards in order to maintain a listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

If our common stock were delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, among other things, this could result in a number of negative implications, including reduced liquidity in our common stock as a result of the loss of market efficiencies associated with Nasdaq and the loss of federal preemption of state securities laws as well as the potential loss of confidence by suppliers, customers and employees, institutional investor interest, fewer business development opportunities, greater difficulty in obtaining financing and breaches of certain contractual obligations.
