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,” “estimate,” “assume,” “can,” “could,” “plan,” “predict,” “should” or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, trends in our businesses, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations of our management based on available information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. As such, our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, some of which are listed under the section “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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 the Company, 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 the Company believes 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 the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2019 and notes thereto which are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K previously filed with the SEC on March 30, 2020. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports. The results of operations for the interim periods covered by this Form 10-Q may not necessarily be indicative of results of operations for the full fiscal year or any other interim period.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TOMI and its wholly-owned subsidiary, TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassification of Accounts
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-year comparative financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or financial position.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, inventory, fair values of financial instruments, intangible assets, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, fair values of stock-based awards, income taxes, and contingent liabilities, among others. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of our assets and liabilities.
Fair Value Measurements
The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following:
Level 1:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level2:
Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data or substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities.
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. All these items were determined to be Level 1 fair value measurements.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, held at financial institutions and other liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. At times, these deposits may be in excess of insured limits.
Accounts Receivable
Our accounts receivable are typically from credit worthy customers or, for certain international customers, are supported by pre-payments. For those customers to whom we extend credit, we perform periodic evaluations of them and maintain allowances for potential credit losses as deemed necessary. We have a policy of reserving for doubtful accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of potential credit losses in existing accounts receivable. We periodically review our accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Bad debt expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $25,000 and $58,490, respectively.
At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $135,000 and $110,000, respectively.
As of March 31, 2020, one customer accounted for 12% of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2019, three customers accounted for 37% of accounts receivable.
One customer/distributor accounted for 31% of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and two customers accounted for 45% of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories consist primarily of finished goods.
We expense costs to maintain certification to cost of goods sold as incurred.
We review inventory on an ongoing basis, considering factors such as deterioration and obsolescence. We record an allowance for estimated losses when the facts and circumstances indicate that particular inventories may not be usable. Our reserve for obsolete inventory was $0 and $100,000 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Property and Equipment
We account for property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to five years. Depreciation for equipment, furniture and fixtures and vehicles commences once placed in service for its intended use. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the respective leases or service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (“ASC 842”), Leases, to require lessees to recognize all leases, with certain exceptions, on the balance sheet, while recognition on the statement of operations will remain similar to current lease accounting. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, ASU No. 2018-20, Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors, and ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements, to clarify and amend the guidance in ASU No. 2016-02. ASC 842 eliminates real estate-specific provisions and modifies certain aspects of lessor accounting. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective basis with a cumulative effect adjustment as of that date. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed us to carry forward the historical determination of contracts as leases, lease classification and not reassess initial direct costs for historical lease arrangements. Accordingly, previously reported financial statements, including footnote disclosures, have not been recast to reflect the application of the new standard to all comparative periods presented.
Operating lease assets are included within operating lease right-of-use assets, and the corresponding operating lease liabilities are recorded as current portion of long-term operating lease, and within long-term liabilities as long-term operating lease, net of current portion on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
We have elected not to present short-term leases on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as these leases have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease inception and do not contain purchase options or renewal terms that we are reasonably certain to exercise. All other lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Because most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, we used our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at adoption date in determining the present value of lease payments.
Capitalized Software Development Costs
In accordance with ASC 985-20 regarding the development of software to be sold, leased, or marketed, the Company expenses 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 the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $10,475.
Accounts Payable
As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, one vendor accounted for approximately 33% and 40% of accounts payable, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, one vendor accounted for 89% and 67% of cost of sales, respectively.
Accrued Warranties
Accrued warranties represent the estimated costs, if any, that will be incurred during the warranty period of our products. We estimate the expected costs to be incurred during the warranty period and record the expense to the condensed consolidated statement of operations at the date of sale. Our manufacturer assumes the warranty against product defects for one year from date of sale, which we extend to our customers upon sale of the product. We assume responsibility for product reliability and results. As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, our warranty reserve was $60,000 and $30,000, 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”) guidance for income taxes. Net deferred tax benefits have been fully reserved at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that such tax rate changes are enacted.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income or (loss) per share is computed by dividing the Company’s net income or (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period presented. Diluted income or (loss) per share is based on the treasury stock method and includes the effect from potential issuance of shares of common stock, such as shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of options and warrants and conversions of preferred stock or debentures.
Potentially dilutive securities as of March 31, 2020 consisted of 16,798,858 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, 830,000 shares of common stock issuable upon outstanding options and 510,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding shares of Preferred A stock (“Convertible Series A Preferred Stock”).
Potentially dilutive securities as of March 31, 2019 consisted of 9,259,250 shares of common stock from convertible debentures, 26,800,611 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, 620,000 shares of common stock issuable upon outstanding options and 510,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding shares of Preferred A stock (“Convertible Series A Preferred Stock”). Diluted and basic weighted average shares are the same, as potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive.
Diluted net income or (loss) per share is computed similarly to basic net income or (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential shares of common stock had been issued and if such additional shares were dilutive. Options, warrants, preferred stock and shares associated with the conversion of debt to purchase approximately 16.7 million and 27.6 million shares of common stock were outstanding at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, but were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share at December 31, 2019 due to the anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share.

Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The Company recognizes 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.
The Company must use judgment to determine: a) the number of performance obligations based on the determination under step (ii) above and whether those performance obligations are distinct from other performance obligations in the contract; b) the transaction price under step (iii) above; and c) the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract for the allocation of transaction price in step (iv) above.
Title and risk of loss generally pass to our customers upon shipment. Our Customers include end users as well as dealers and distributors who market and sell our products. Our revenue is not contingent upon resale by the dealer or distributor, and we have no further obligations related to bringing about resale. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in Product Revenues. The associated expenses are treated as fulfillment costs and are included in Cost of Revenues. Revenues are reported net of sales taxes collected from Customers.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The following table presents our revenues disaggregated by revenue source.
Product and Service Revenue
| For the three months ended March 31, (Unaudited) |
| | |
SteraMist Product | $6,638,000 | $1,029,000 |
Service and Training | 415,000 | 224,000 |
Total | $7,053,000 | $1,253,000 |
Revenue by Geographic Region
| For the three months ended March 31, (Unaudited) |
| | |
United States | $3,569,000 | $1,136,000 |
International | 3,484,000 | 117,000 |
Total | $7,053,000 | $1,253,000 |
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, 2020 and December 31, 2019 we did not have any unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.
Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations
Our contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are primarily distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations.
Significant Judgments
Our contracts with customers for products and services often dictate the terms and conditions of when the control of the promised products or services is transferred to the customer and the amount of consideration to be received in exchange for the products and services.
Equity Compensation Expense
We account for equity compensation expense in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation.” Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, equity compensation expense is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value.
On July 7, 2017, our shareholders approved the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). The 2016 Plan authorizes the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units/shares. Up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under the 2016 Plan. Shares issued under the 2016 Plan may be either authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or any combination thereof. Provisions in the 2016 Plan permit the reuse or reissuance by the 2016 Plan of shares of common stock for numerous reasons, including, but not limited to, shares of common stock underlying canceled, expired, or forfeited awards of stock-based compensation and stock appreciation rights paid out in the form of cash. Equity compensation expense will typically be awarded in consideration for the future performance of services to us. All recipients of awards under the 2016 Plan are required to enter into award agreements with the Company at the time of the award; awards under the 2016 Plan are expressly conditioned upon such agreements. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we issued 400,000 and 400,000 shares of common stock, respectively, out of the 2016 Plan.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. We maintain cash balances at financial institutions which exceed the current Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit of $250,000 at times during the year.
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, 2020 and 2019.
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, 2020 and 2019 were approximately $46,000 and $40,000, 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, 2020 and 2019, research and development expenses were approximately $59,000 and $93,000, 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.

NOTE 9. CONVERTIBLE DEBT
In March and May 2017, we closed a private placement transaction in which we issued to certain accredited investors unregistered senior callable convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) and three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 999,998 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.69 per share in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $6,000,000. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum. $5,300,000 in principal was originally scheduled to mature on August 31, 2018 and $700,000 in principal was originally scheduled to mature on November 8, 2018, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. The Notes are convertible at the option of the holder into common stock at a conversion price of $0.54 per share. Subsequent to September 1, 2017, we may redeem the Notes that are scheduled to mature on August 31, 2018 at any time prior to maturity at a price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the redemption date. Prior to November 8, 2018, we may redeem the Notes that are scheduled to mature on such date at any time prior to maturity at a price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the redemption date. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in cash on February 28 and August 31 of each year, beginning on August 31, 2017. Interest expense related to the Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $40,689 and $50,000, respectively.
The warrants were valued at $62,559 using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: expected volatility: 104.06% –111.54%; expected dividend: $0; expected term: 3 years; and risk-free rate: 1.49%–1.59%. We recorded the warrants’ relative fair value of $61,904 as an increase to additional paid-in capital and a discount against the related Notes.
The debt discount was amortized over the life of the Notes using the effective interest method. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, was $0 and $17,534, respectively.
In February and March 2018, we extended the maturity date of the Notes— we extended the maturity date to April 1, 2019 for $5,300,000 of principal on the Notes and to June 8, 2019 for the remaining $700,000 Note. No additional consideration was paid or accrued by us. The stated rate of the Notes was unchanged, and the estimated fair value of the new debt approximates its carrying amount (principal plus accrued interest at the date of the modification). We determined that the modification of these Notes is not a substantial modification in accordance with ASC 470-50, “Modifications and Extinguishments”.
In May 2018, we offered a noteholder the option to convert its Note at a reduced conversion price of $0.46. The noteholder accepted and converted at such price. Pursuant to the terms of the conversion offer, an aggregate of $700,000 of principal and $5,212 of accrued interest outstanding under the Note were converted into 1,877,960 shares of common stock. We recognized an induced conversion cost of $57,201 related to the conversion.
In December 2018, a noteholder redeemed a note with a principal balance of $300,000 in exchange for $150,000 in cash. We recognized a gain on redemption of convertible note income in the amount of $150,000 as a result of the transaction.
On March 30, 2019, the two remaining noteholders agreed to extend the maturity dates of their notes totaling $5,000,000 to April 3, 2020. As part of the extensions, we agreed that if we do not make payment on or before the new maturity dates, after five (5) days written notice, the holders will have the right, but not the obligation, to convert the notes into our common shares at a conversion price of $0.11 per share or a total of 45,454,545 shares. All other provisions of the notes remain unchanged. We determined that the modification of these Notes is not a substantial modification in accordance with ASC 470-50, “Modifications and Extinguishments”.
In March 2020, convertible notes with a principal balance of $4,500,000 were converted into 8,333,332 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.54 per share and the remaining outstanding balance of $500,000 was repaid in the form of cash. With respect to the 999,998 warrants issued as part of the convertible note transaction, 799,999 warrants expired in March 2020. In March 2020, 83,333, warrants were exercised, and 116,666 warrants expired in May 2020.

NOTE 10. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) may, without further action by our shareholders, from time to time, direct the issuance of any authorized but unissued or unreserved shares of preferred stock in series and at the time of issuance, determine the rights, preferences and limitations of each series. The holders of such preferred stock may be entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company before any payment is made to the holders of our common stock. Furthermore, the Board could issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our common stock.
Convertible Series A Preferred Stock
Our authorized Convertible Series A Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value, consists of 1,000,000 shares. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 510,000 shares issued and outstanding. The Convertible Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the rate of one share of common stock for one share of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock.
Convertible Series B Preferred Stock
Our authorized Convertible Series B Preferred Stock, $1,000 stated value, 7.5% cumulative dividend, consists of 4,000 shares. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no shares issued and outstanding, respectively. Each share of Convertible Series B Preferred Stock may be converted (at the holder’s election) into two hundred shares of our common stock.
Common Stock
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we issued 400,000 shares of common stock valued at $44,000 to members of our board of directors (see Note 12).
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we issued 400,000 shares of common stock valued at $48,000 to members of our board of directors (see Note 12).
In March 2020, 8,333,332 shares of common stock were issued in connection with the conversion of convertible notes payable aggregating $4,500,000 (see Note 9).
In March 2020, 83,333 shares of common stock were issued in connection with the exercise of warrants for which we received proceeds of $57,500.
Stock Options
In January 2019, pursuant to an employment agreement, we issued options to purchase an aggregate of 250,000 shares of common stock to our Chief Operating Officer, valued at $24,694. The options have an exercise price of $0.11 per share and expire in January 2024. The options were valued using the Black-Scholes model using the following assumptions: volatility: 144%; dividend yield: 0%; zero coupon rate: 2.47%; and a life of 5 years. The value of the options was expensed in the fourth quarter of 2018 and included in accrued expenses at December 31, 2018.
In January 2019, we issued options to purchase an aggregate of 50,000 shares of common stock to our Chief Financial Officer, valued at $4,483. The options have an exercise price of $0.10 per share and expire in January 2024. The options were valued using the Black-Scholes model using the following assumptions: volatility: 143%; dividend yield: 0%; zero coupon rate: 2.58%; and a life of 5 years.
In January 2020, we issued two options to purchase an aggregate of 250,000 shares of common stock to the COO at an exercise price of $0.10 and $0.12 per share pursuant to her employment agreement with the Company. The options were valued at a total of $23,595 and have a term of 5 years. We utilized the Black-Scholes method to fair value the options received by the COO with the following assumptions: volatility, 135%; expected dividend yield, 0%; risk free interest rate, 1.64%; and a life of 5 years. The grant date fair value of each share of common stock underlying the options was $0.09 and $0.10. The value of the stock option was included in accrued expenses at December 31, 2019.

We have been identified as an essential disinfectant and decontamination vendor by various agencies and countries. Our operations being essential have been materially affected by the coronavirus outbreak to date, as demand for our product and services is increasing. The uncertain nature of its spread globally may or may not impact our business operations resulting from quarantines of employees, customers and suppliers as well as potential travel restrictions in areas affected or may be affected in the future.
NOTE 12. CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS
Agreements with Directors
In December 2017, we increased the annual board fee to directors to $40,000, to be paid in cash on a quarterly basis, with the exception of the audit committee chairperson, whose annual fee we increased to $45,000, also to be paid in cash on a quarterly basis. Director compensation also includes the annual issuance of our common stock.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we issued an aggregate of 400,000 shares of common stock that were valued at $44,000 to members of our board of directors.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we issued an aggregate of 400,000 shares of common stock that were valued at $48,000 to members of our board of directors.
Other Agreements
In June 2015, we launched the TOMI Service Network (“TSN”). The TSN is a national service network composed of existing full-service restoration industry specialists that have entered into licensing agreements with us to become Primary Service Providers (“PSPs”).

Additionally, the agreement provides for commissions due to PSPs for equipment and solution sales they facilitate to other service providers in their respective territories. As part of these agreements, we are obligated to provide to the PSPs various training, ongoing support and facilitate a referral network call center. As of March 31, 2020, we had entered into 140 licensing agreements in connection with the launch of the TSN. The licensing agreements contain fixed price minimum equipment and solution orders based on the population of the territories granted pursuant to the licensing agreements. The nature and terms of our TSN agreements may represent multiple deliverable arrangements. Each of the deliverables in these arrangements typically represent a separate unit of accounting. As of January 1, 2020, we have removed the exclusivity portion of our service partner company agreements
NOTE 13. ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES

NOTE 14. ACCRUED WARRANTY
Our manufacturer assumes warranty against product defects for one year from the sale to customers, which we extend to our customers upon sale of the product. We assume responsibility for product reliability and results. The warranty is generally limited to a refund of the original purchase price of the product or a replacement part. We estimate warranty costs based on historical warranty claim experience.
The following table presents warranty reserve activities at:
| March 31, 2020 (Unaudited) | |
Beginning accrued warranty costs | $30,000 | $30,000 |
Provision for warranty expense | 31,864 | 2,609 |
Settlement of warranty claims | (1,864) | (2,609) |
Ending accrued warranty costs | $60,000 | $30,000 |
NOTE 15. CUSTOMER DEPOSITS
At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were customer deposits of $1,017,533 and $0, respectively on future equipment orders. In the first quarter of 2020, we began requiring a 50% customer deposit on placing most orders and payment in full prior to delivery on most orders to mitigate credit risk and to improve liquidity.
NOTE 16. INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 ASC guidance for income taxes. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we recorded a valuation allowance of $4,743,000 and $5,580,000, respectively for the portion of the deferred tax assets that we do not expect to be realized. The valuation allowance on our net deferred taxes decreased by $837,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to U.S. deferred tax assets incurred in the current period that could 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 valuation allowance is required against U.S. deferred tax assets. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that such tax rate changes are enacted.
NOTE 17. CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION
The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue, or whose accounts receivable balances individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable.
As of March 31, 2020, one customer accounted for 12% of our accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2019, three customers accounted for 37% of accounts receivable.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, sales made to one international customer / distributor accounted for 31% of net revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, two customers accounted for 45% of net revenue.

Overview
TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (“TOMI”, “we” and “our”) is a global provider of disinfection and decontamination essentials through our premier Binary Ionization Technology® (BIT™) platform, under which we manufacture, license, service and sell our SteraMist® brand of products, including SteraMist® BIT™, a hydrogen peroxide-based fog or mist.
TOMI’s SteraMist is a patented technology that produces ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (iHP™) using plasma science created under a grant by the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). TOMI’s EPA registered BIT™ Solution is composed of a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide converted to iHP™ after passing the trade secret blended solution including its sole active ingredient of 7.8% hydrogen peroxide through an atmospheric cold plasma arc. The newly formed iHP™ fog and mist consists of submicron’s to 3-micron radical particles that are carried throughout the treatment area in a fog or mist moving with the same velocity and characteristics of a gas. This allows the ionized hydrogen peroxide fog or mist to affect all surfaces and space throughout the targeted treatment area, over, above and beyond the ability of a manual cleaning processes. iHP™ damages pathogenic organisms through the oxidation of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. SteraMist® no-touch disinfection and or decontamination treat areas mechanically, causing cellular disruptions and/or dysfunctions resulting in a 6-log (99.9999%) and greater kill or inactivation of all pathogens in the treatment area.
SteraMist® Binary Ionization Technology® allows a facility to have a hospital-healthCare EPA registered tool and solution to replace manual cleaning technology, upgrade existing protocols, and limit liability in a facility when it comes to resistant infectious pathogens. SteraMist® BIT™ is the first EPA registered solution and system combination on the market. BIT™ is also listed on EPA’s List G, H, K, L, M and N for Norovirus, MRSA, C. diff, Ebola, Avian flu or Influenza and SARS-CoV-2 respectively. TOMI maintains this registration in 50 states, Canada, and approximately 22 other countries.
Markets
TOMI’s SteraMist® products are designed to address a wide spectrum of industries using ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (iHP™). Our operations are organized into four main divisions based on our current target industries: Hospital-Healthcare, Life Sciences, TOMI Service Network (TSN) and Food Safety. In addition, TOMI is able to bring SteraMist® efficacy to each division through scheduled iHP® Service in both routine and emergency capacities. SteraMist® technology and iHP® Service are available both domestically and internationally.
Products
We continue to offer our customers a wide range of innovative products designed to be easily incorporated into their existing disinfection and decontamination procedures and protocols. Additionally, we offer integrated facility equipment installations known as Custom Engineered Systems, routine & emergency iHP™ Service, validations and qualifications, and onsite performance maintenance requests – Each of these are structured to address the unique disinfection and decontamination needs of our customers worldwide.
Divisions
Hospital-Healthcare
TOMI’s hospital-healthcare customer list continues to grow with the closing of every quarter. TOMI’s SteraMist® Hospital Disinfection Cart, an all-in-one cart that houses our handheld point-and-spray SteraMist® Surface Unit and accompanying supplies, continues to assist medical staff with emergency response and turnaround for new and established protocols. The SteraMist® Hospital disinfection cart allows customers within the hospital-healthcare industry to address concerns of the cross-contamination of dangerous bacteria and viral pathogens in which some can lead to HAIs stemming from existing and emerging pathogens, as well as multiple drug resistant organisms (MDRO’s). SteraMist® Technology allows a manual cleaning protocol lasting 90 minutes to be reduced to 55 minutes, including the changing of bed linens, as confirmed by the Shield Study at UCLA. This mobile consolidation solution has resulted in remarkable results for facilities utilizing our technology. Previously published results of N95 mask disinfection efficacy were shortly followed by the official listing of SteraMist as a List N disinfectant against the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus.
Life Sciences
TOMI’s SteraMist®. Environment System, Custom Engineered Solutions, the SteraMist® Select Surface Unit, custom iHP™ implementation to decontamination chambers and cage washers, and our iHP™ Service Division, are designed to be tailored to provide a complete room solution to address the regulatory inspections of disinfecting/decontaminating and Installation Qualification (IQ)-Operational Qualification (OQ)–Performance Qualification (PQ) validation processes within the life sciences industry. In addition, TOMI has worked alongside many research universities and government agencies in the effort to test SteraMist efficacy on the disinfection and re-use of N95 masks and other equivalent PPE, with results that indicate that the use of SteraMist iHP™ will not reduce mask efficacy, including on those containing 10% or less of cellulose. SteraMist has also been included in studies observing the effects of iHP disinfection on the reduction of Syphacia obvelata pinworm ova presence in rodent cages, which indicated positive results.
TOMI Service Network
The TOMI Service Network, or TSN, is an expansive network consisting of third-party professionals specializing in a wide array of disciplines who are exclusively licensed and trained to use the SteraMist® products. TOMI sells, trains, and services a wide array of professional remediation companies in the use of SteraMist® through the TSN division. This allows for increased accessibility of Binary Ionization Technology to facilities in need of local routine and emergency disinfection and decontamination.
Many of these companies specialize in mold remediation, treatment of water-damaged areas (including damage from CAT 1-3 water loss), fire damage, as well as professional specialists that are certified and practice in the area of forensic restoration. Currently, the TSN features a number of professionals throughout both the United States and Canada, with some utilizing SteraMist® as a standalone service and others incorporating SteraMist into their existing business models and methods.
Sales of BIT™ Solution make up a large amount of our consistent revenue stream, and members of the TOMI Service Network are a large portion of those recurring sales. As of January 1, 2020, we have removed the exclusivity portion of our service partner company agreements, allowing us to expand our network and further penetrate existing markets. The TSN network has grown significantly to date in 2020, with the total number of service providers currently at one hundred and sixty (160), which has expanded our network membership across forty-four (44) U.S. States and two (2) Canadian provinces. Currently, there are approximately 295 SteraMist® units in the field across all members of TSN™.
Food Safety
As one of our newest targeted markets, Food Safety presents significant potential as an opportunity for substantial growth with continued product research and compliance testing. With the food safety industry in North America coming under closer scrutiny with the implementation and enforcement of new and established guidelines, our consultants have submitted a request to expand our current labels to include a 1% acceptable concentration of hydrogen peroxide. This concentration has previously been approved by the USDA and FDA for direct food and crop application, and will allow SteraMist to expand use sites beyond food processing machinery, restaurants, and food contact areas to assist in compliance with the newly-established Food Safety Modernization Act guidelines set in place by the FDA, as well as the Safe Food for Canadians Act and Safe Food for Canadians Regulations in Canada.
Our primary objective is to prevent and/or minimize food decay without the use of harsh chemicals that leave toxic residues, which could create a lucrative opportunity to supplement or replace current pesticides and fungicides currently being used by industry leaders.
Business Highlights and Recent Events
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus.
On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the SARS CoV-2 coronavirus a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. We have been identified as a disinfectant and decontamination vendor by various agencies and countries. We have been working relentlessly with organizations to address the concerns and provide solutions for disinfecting and decontamination of the SARS CoV-2 coronavirus. The outbreak has increased the demand for TOMI products and services. We anticipate that the outbreak will change requirements and processes for decontamination and disinfecting worldwide, of which SteraMist will be a solution. We are working with our existing and new customers to develop and/or upgrade their existing processes and requirements for decontamination and disinfecting.
We have been addressing the increased demand for our products as follows: (i) cooperation of our supply chain to expedite product, (ii) increase our staff to be able to receive and ship orders to meet customer timelines (iii) increase our customer service support to answer questions and solve issues and (iv) working with our Tomi service network to ensure that resources are deployed in a timely manner. In addition, we increased our production capacity and will be entering into an agreement with a second vendor to build our SteraMist products.
Customers:
In response to the increased demand due to the global pandemic outbreak, our customer list grew substantially on the first quarter. Globally, we added eighty-one (81) new customers across all our divisions for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This represents a six hundred and eight-six (686%) percent increase over the first quarter of 2019. We anticipate that the new customers will continue to order products beyond the outbreak.
Our TSN division added thirty-six (36) new service providers for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of 1700% compared to the first quarter of 2019. TSN was the key division to address the demand for decontamination and disinfecting services during the outbreak. We anticipate that TSN will continue to service the new customers as a result of the outbreak, as customers update their requirements and processes with these services.
Our Hospital-Healthcare division added eighteen (18) new facilities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 which represents 800% increase compared to the prior year period.
Our Life Sciences customer base showed continued growth with the addition of eighteen (18) new customers for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This represents a 533% increase compared to the same prior year period.
Revenues:
Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, was approximately $7,053,000 and $1,253,000, respectively, representing an increase of $5,800,000, or 463% compared to the same prior year period. The increase in revenue was attributable to increased global demand for disinfection and infectious disease control products in response to the SARS CoV-2 coronavirus global pandemic. In the first quarter we saw significant demand for our product with our Hospital-Healthcare and TSN sales as a result of the SARS CoV-2 coronavirus global pandemic. We expect the revenue to continue to grow as our customers update their requirements, processes and procedures to include decontamination and disinfecting services into their regular routines.
SteraMist product-based revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, were approximately $6,638,000 and $1,029,000, representing an increase of $5,609,000 or 545% when compared to the same prior year period. The growth is attributable to increased mobile equipment orders and solution orders from our existing customer base as well as our new customers. We expect solution orders to continue to grow as the new and existing customers adopt new processes and requirements for decontamination and disinfecting services. We cannot determine the frequency or quantities at this time, as the industry is rapidly evolving.
Our service-based revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, was approximately $415,000 and $224,000, respectively, representing a year over year increase of 85%. The increase in our service-based revenue was attributable to higher training sales recorded in the first quarter to onboard new customers.
Our domestic revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $3,569,000 and $1,136,000, respectively, an increase of $2,433,000, or 214% when compared to the same prior year period. The increase was primarily due to the growth in our TSN network and in our Hospital-Healthcare customers.
Internationally, our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, was approximately $3,484,000 and $117,000, respectively, representing an increase of $3,367,000 or 2,878% when compared to the first quarter of 2019. The increase in our international revenue was attributable to the increased use and expansion of our SteraMist® line of products in Canada, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. We expect our international revenue to continue to grow as more countries adopt our products and services as well as change their decontamination and disinfecting requirements.
Our Hospital-Healthcare revenues grew by approximately 6,000% in the first quarter of 2020 when compared to the same prior year period. The growth was primarily attributable to the significant demand for our product as a result of the SARS CoV-2 coronavirus global pandemic. We anticipate continued growth in this sector as hospital-healthcare facilities review and adopt new processes and technologies to address current and future outbreaks. We cannot predict the frequency or volume of orders as the world’s response to decontamination and disinfecting is evolving. However, we anticipate continued growth moving into 2020.
We expanded TSN membership and grew TSN revenue in the first quarter of 2020 by 727% when compared to the same prior year period. The growth in revenue was largely due to the increased demand for decontamination technologies in response to the SARS CoV-2 coronavirus a global pandemic.

Research Studies
We continue to participate in a large multi-year federal funded study, known as the “SHIELD study”, that compares hospital manual cleans to a SteraMist® mechanical clean. Preliminary results collected by the current hospitals in the study is showing a decrease in the transference of pathogens resulting in HAIs and C. difficile infections in the rooms that used SteraMist® for their terminal clean, as compared to the rooms that have been manually cleaned. The University of Michigan, a recognized teaching university hospital, joined the California hospitals in this Shield Study in the second quarter 2020, allowing for additional collection of data to validate the value of SteraMist® technology in hospitals.
Product Development
We have added four new products to our growing line of products:
●
The SteraMist Surface Unit has been upgraded to a new model, the HHA-103. This model keeps the same functionality of the previous model with the featured addition of a new Harting™ Camlock port to the unit. This upgraded port allows for a more secure connection between the applicator and the Surface Unit, effectively latching the connection in place and eliminating the presence of any possible pulling or tilting that could compromise the connection integrity over time. Additionally, the unit features additional room within the unit for applicator and accessory storage.
●
A single applicator build-in unit for decontamination chambers and cage washers, which was recently successfully validated at the University of Houston.
●
A decontamination cart for a Pfizer facility. We will be designing and engineering a second SteraMist® mobile decontamination cart for this same facility by the second quarter of 2020.
●
A stainless-steel mobile 90-degree applicator and the answer to the mobile treatment and decontamination of BSC cabinets and isolators. The 90-degree applicator product has led to a partnership with a large design and manufacturing company of washing and contamination control systems, and we plan on installing an all-in-one disinfection solution to Gnotobiotic Housings with our partner.
During 2020, we will continue our focus on improving our SteraMist® Environment System and the development of a proprietary software that will be integrated into the next generation of SteraMist® equipment, both mobile and permanent. The new software will improve communication between our equipment and the end user’s system, provide improved reporting results and simplify the overall usage of the system itself. We are in the final testing and validation phase of the new Environment System prototype, expecting to begin commercialization in 2020.
We are in the design phase with our partner Arkema and their client (a global food storage and safety company) on an engineered concept for the decontamination of large industrial food warehouse facilities. The concept is a six (6) applicator fully automated fogging system permanently mounted on a hydraulic lift that is capable of coverage in high-volume spaces. We are in early phases of the project and don’t have an expected commercialization date.
Registrations & Intellectual Property (IP)
In February 2020, SteraMist equipment and BIT solution was registered with the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (China CDC). After a three (3) year-long submission process, we recently received confirmation that two (2) separate registrations - SteraMist equipment registration and BIT solution registration - have now been officially approved and registered with the China CDC. SteraMist is now the industry standard for disinfection throughout all of China. This registration allows China to take advantage of SteraMist disinfection and decontamination in a variety of verticals such as healthcare, pharmaceutical, commercial and residential, schools, and throughout the community.
In March 2020, our Binary Ionization Technology® (BIT™) Solution qualified to meet the EPA Emerging Viral Pathogen Guidance for Antimicrobial Pesticides with the SteraMist Environment System for room fogging/misting against SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19. The EPA Emerging Viral Pathogen Guidance for Antimicrobial Pesticides is important because the occurrence of emerging viral pathogens is less common and predictable than established pathogens and there are currently no other EPA-registered disinfectant product labels with claims against COVID-19. The SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 qualifies as an emerging viral pathogen. Our Binary Ionization Technology (BIT) Solution, used exclusively in tandem with SteraMist equipment including the Surface Unit and Environment System, is currently listed on List G for Norovirus, List H for MRSA, List K for Clostridium difficile spores, List L for Ebola, List M for H1N1, and now List N: Disinfectants for Use Against SARS-CoV-2. With labeled efficacy for large and small enveloped viruses in addition to other pathogens, we have confidence this EPA addition will support client efforts to reduce the ongoing spread of the COVID-19.

Net Revenue
Sales
Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, was approximately $7,053,000 and $1,253,000, respectively, representing an increase of $5,800,000, or 463% compared to the same prior year period. The increase in revenue was attributable to increased global demand for disinfection and infectious disease control products in response to the SARS CoV-2 coronavirus global pandemic. In the first quarter we saw significant demand for our product with our Hospital-Healthcare and TSN sales as a result of the SARS CoV-2 coronavirus global pandemic. We expect the revenue to continue to grow as our customers update their requirements, processes and procedures to include decontamination and disinfecting services into their regular routines.
In the first quarter, we saw a rapid expansion of our customer list and continued to see strong reorders for solution from our existing customers. Our new customer pipeline remains strong. As customers mature through the product and adoption cycle and our sales pipeline converts to revenue, we expect to have more predictable sales quarter over quarter.

| | |
United States | $3,569,000 | $1,136,000 |
International | 3,484,000 | 117,000 |
Total | $7,053,000 | $1,253,000 |
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was approximately $2,565,000 and $493,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase of $2,072,000, in the current year period. The primary reason for the increase in cost of sales is attributable to the increase in revenue in the current year. Our gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was 63.6% compared to 60.6% in the same prior period. The higher gross profit is attributable to the product mix in sales. As revenues continue to grow and we are able to negotiate more favorable pricing from our vendors, we anticipate that our cost per unit could decrease.
Professional Fees
Professional fees were approximately $136,000 and $105,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase of approximately $31,000, or 29%, in the current year period. Professional fees are comprised mainly of legal, accounting and financial consulting fees.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization were approximately $172,000 and $177,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $5,000, or 3%, in the current year period.
Selling Expenses
Selling expenses were approximately $379,000 and $442,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $63,000, or 14%, in the current year period. We continue to invest and allocate resources into our sales, marketing and advertising initiatives and have increased efforts in the current year in order to further develop our brand recognition and grow our base of customers. The decline in selling expenses is primarily due to a lower employee headcount in our sales department as well as lower tradeshow costs in the current year period. We expect tradeshow expenses to continue to decline this year in the post CoV-2 world, as physical distancing continues to remain in effect. We expect to increase our sales team during 2020 to address the increase in the demand for our products and services.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses were approximately $59,000 and $93,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $34,000, or 36%, in the current year period. The primary reason for the decrease is attributable to the timing of costs related to testing and studies that occurred in the same prior period.
Equity Compensation Expense
Equity compensation expense was approximately $183,000and $81,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, representing an increase of $102,000 or 136%.
Consulting Fees
Consulting fees were approximately $82,000 and $35,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, representing an increase of $47,000, or 133%, in the current year period. The increase is due to the timing of certain projects that occurred in the first quarter of 2020 that did not occur in the same prior year period.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense was approximately $818,000 and $695,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase of $123,000, or 18%, in the current year period. The increase in General and administrative expense is attributable to a higher employee headcount and higher wages as well as an increase in international product registration. General and administrative expense includes salaries and payroll taxes, rent, insurance expense, utilities, office expense and product registration costs.
Other Income and Expense
Amortization of debt discount was approximately $0 and $17,534 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Amortization of debt discount for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, consists of the amortization of debt discount on the $6,000,000 principal amount of Notes issued in March and May 2017. The debt discount was amortized over the life of the Notes utilizing the effective interest method.
Interest income was approximately $500 and $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Interest expense was approximately $41,000 and $50,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 consisted of the interest incurred on the $6,000,000 principal amount of Notes issued in March and May 2017 of which $4,500,000 was converted to common stock in March, 2020 and the remaining $500,000 was paid in cash in March 2020.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income was approximately $2,619,000 compared to a net loss of approximately ($935,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase in net income of $3,554,000, or 380%, in the current year period. The primary reasons for the higher net income is attributable to:
●
Higher sales and gross profit of approximately $5,800,000 and $3,729,000, respectively;
●
Lower other expenses of approximately $27,000, offset by
●
Higher operating expenses of approximately $202,000;
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3,756,000 and working capital of $6,365,000. Our principal capital requirements are to fund operations, invest in research and development and capital equipment, and the continued costs of public company filing requirements. We have historically funded our operations through debt and equity financings.
In March 2020, convertible notes with a principal balance of $4,500,000 were converted into 8,333,332 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.54 per share and the remaining outstanding balance of $500,000 was repaid in the form of cash.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020 we generated income from operations of approximately $2,659,000 and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 we incurred losses from operations of approximately ($868,000). The cash provided from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020, was approximately $3,316,000. The cash used in operations was approximately ($649,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
During the first quarter of 2020, due to the SARS CoV-2 uncertainty and to mitigate our credit risk, we modified our customer payment terms requiring a 50%-100% deposit on most equipment orders which improved our cash flows and liquidity. We had customer deposits of approximately $1,017,000 as of March 31, 2020.
As of March 31, 2020, in response to our inventory order quantities and request for expediting our products, our vendors required us to place deposits of approximately $1,267,000 on future inventory orders.
A breakdown of our statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 is provided below:
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was approximately $3,316,000, compared to cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 of approximately ($649,000). Our cash provided by operations improved in the current year period as a result of increased revenue, net income and customer deposits placed on future orders offset by increased accounts receivable and vendors deposits.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was approximately $15,000 and $160,000, respectively. Cash used in investing activities decreased approximately $145,000 primarily due to software development costs and the acquisition of fixed assets in the prior year period.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were approximately $443,000 and $0, respectively. The cash used in financing activities increased in the current period due to the repayment of the principal balance of the convertible note of $500,000 offset by proceeds from the exercise of warrants in the amount of $57,500.
Our revenues can fluctuate due to the following factors, among others:
●
Ramp up and expansion of our internal sales force and manufacturers’ representatives;
●
Length of our sales cycle;
●
Global response to the outbreak of SARS CoV-2;
●
Expansion into new territories and markets; and
●
Timing of orders from distributors.
We could incur operating losses and an increase of costs related to the continuation of product and technology development, and sales expense as we continue to grow our sales teams and geographic presence, tooling capital expenditures as we ramp up and streamline our production and administrative activities including compliance with Sox 404.
Management has taken and will endeavor to continue to take a number of actions in order to improve our results of operations and the related cash flows generated from operations in order to strengthen our financial position, including the following items:
●
Expanding our label with the EPA to further our product registration internationally;
●
Continued expansion of our internal sales force and manufacturer representatives in an effort to drive global revenue in all verticals;
●
Source alternative lower-cost suppliers;
●
Expansion of international distributors; and
●
Continued growth in all of our verticals.
We expect that the cash we generate from our core operations will generally be sufficient to cover our future capital expenditures and to pay down our near-term debt obligations, although we may choose to seek alternative financing sources.
We believe that our existing balance of cash and cash equivalents and amounts expected to be provided by operations will provide us with sufficient financial resources to meet our cash requirements for operations, working capital and capital expenditures over the next twelve months.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimation process requires assumptions to be made about future events and conditions, and as such, is inherently subjective and uncertain. Actual results could differ materially from our estimates.
The SEC defines critical accounting policies as those that are, in management’s view, most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and most demanding of our judgment. We consider the following policies to be critical to an understanding of our condensed consolidated financial statements and the uncertainties associated with the complex judgments made by us that could impact our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The Company recognizes 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.
The Company must use judgment to determine: a) the number of performance obligations based on the determination under step (ii) above and whether those performance obligations are distinct from other performance obligations in the contract; b) the transaction price under step (iii) above; and c) the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract for the allocation of transaction price in step (iv) above.
Title and risk of loss generally pass to our customers upon shipment. Our Customers include end users as well as dealers and distributors who market and sell our products. Our revenue is not contingent upon resale by the dealer or distributor, and we have no further obligations related to bringing about resale. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in Product Revenues. The associated expenses are treated as fulfillment costs and are included in Cost of Revenues. Revenues are reported net of sales taxes collected from Customers.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The following table presents our revenues disaggregated by revenue source.
Product and Service Revenue
| For the three months ended March 31, (Unaudited) |
| | |
SteraMist Product | $6,638,000 | $1,029,000 |
Service and Training | 415,000 | 224,000 |
Total | $7,053,000 | $1,253,000 |
Revenue by Geographic Region
| For the three months ended March 31, (Unaudited) |
| | |
United States | $3,569,000 | $1,136,000 |
International | 3,484,000 | 117,000 |
Total | $7,053,000 | $1,253,000 |
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, 2020, and December 31, 2019 we did not have any unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.
Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations
Our contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are primarily distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations.
Significant Judgments
Our contracts with customers for products and services often dictate the terms and conditions of when the control of the promised products or services is transferred to the customer and the amount of consideration to be received in exchange for the products and services.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, inventory, fair values of financial instruments, intangible assets, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, fair values of stock-based awards, income taxes, and contingent liabilities, among others. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of our assets and liabilities.
Fair Value Measurements
The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following:
Level 1:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:
Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data or substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities.
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. All these items were determined to be Level 1 fair value measurements.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, held at financial institutions and other liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. At times, these deposits may be in excess of insured limits.
Accounts Receivable
Our accounts receivable are typically from credit worthy customers or, for certain international customers, are supported by pre-payments. For those customers to whom we extend credit, we perform periodic evaluations of them and maintain allowances for potential credit losses as deemed necessary. We have a policy of reserving for doubtful accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of potential credit losses in existing accounts receivable. We periodically review our accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories consist primarily of finished goods.
We expense costs to maintain certification to cost of goods sold as incurred.
We review inventory on an ongoing basis, considering factors such as deterioration and obsolescence. We record an allowance for estimated losses when the facts and circumstances indicate that particular inventories may not be usable.
Property and Equipment
We account for property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to five years. Depreciation for equipment, furniture and fixtures and vehicles commences once placed in service for its intended use. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the respective leases or service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (“ASC 842”), Leases, to require lessees to recognize all leases, with certain exceptions, on the balance sheet, while recognition on the statement of operations will remain similar to current lease accounting. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, ASU No. 2018-20, Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors, and ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements, to clarify and amend the guidance in ASU No. 2016-02. ASC 842 eliminates real estate-specific provisions and modifies certain aspects of lessor accounting. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective basis with a cumulative effect adjustment as of that date. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed us to carry forward the historical determination of contracts as leases, lease classification and not reassess initial direct costs for historical lease arrangements. Accordingly, previously reported financial statements, including footnote disclosures, have not been recast to reflect the application of the new standard to all comparative periods presented.
Operating lease assets are included within operating lease right-of-use assets, and the corresponding operating lease liabilities are recorded as current portion of long-term operating lease, and within long-term liabilities as long-term operating lease, net of current portion on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
We have elected not to present short-term leases on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as these leases have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease inception and do not contain purchase options or renewal terms that we are reasonably certain to exercise. All other lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Because most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, we used our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at adoption date in determining the present value of lease payments.
Capitalized Software Development Costs
In accordance with ASC 985-20 regarding the development of software to be sold, leased, or marketed, the Company expenses such costs as they are incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at and after which time those costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. The periodic expense for the amortization of capitalized software development costs will be included in cost of sales.
Accrued Warranties
Accrued warranties represent the estimated costs, if any, that will be incurred during the warranty period of our products. We estimate the expected costs to be incurred during the warranty period and record the expense to the condensed consolidated statement of operations at the date of sale. Our manufacturer assumes the warranty against product defects for one year from date of sale, which we extend to our customers upon sale of the product. We assume responsibility for product reliability and results.
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 the Company’s net income or (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period presented. Diluted income or (loss) per share is based on the treasury stock method and includes the effect from potential issuance of shares of common stock, such as shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of options and warrants and conversions of preferred stock or debentures.
Equity Compensation Expense
We account for equity compensation expense in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation.” Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, equity compensation expense is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period.
On July 7, 2017, our shareholders approved the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). The 2016 Plan authorizes the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units/shares. Up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under the 2016 Plan. Shares issued under the 2016 Plan may be either authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or any combination thereof. Provisions in the 2016 Plan permit the reuse or reissuance by the 2016 Plan of shares of common stock for numerous reasons, including, but not limited to, shares of common stock underlying canceled, expired, or forfeited awards of stock-based compensation and stock appreciation rights paid out in the form of cash. Equity compensation expense will typically be awarded in consideration for the future performance of services to us. All recipients of awards under the 2016 Plan are required to enter into award agreements with the Company at the time of the award; awards under the 2016 Plan are expressly conditioned upon such agreements.
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, 2020 and 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements that constitute off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act and are not required to disclose the information required by this Item 3 pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
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.
While, as a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item 1A, you should carefully review and consider the risk factors contained in our other reports and periodic filings with the SEC, including without limitation the risk factors contained under the caption “Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The risk factors discussed in that Form 10-K do not identify all risks that we face because our business operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
None.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
