EMERGENCY FILTRATION PRODUCTS, INC. Notes to the Financial Statements June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The financial information included herein is unaudited and has been prepared consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period presented. The results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. NOTE 2 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 141 ("SFAS 141"), entitled "Business Combinations" and Statement No. 142 ("SFAS 142"), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS 141 is effective as follows: (a) use of the pooling-of-interests method is prohibited for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001; and (b) the provisions of SFAS 141 also apply to all business combinations accounted for by the purchase method that are completed after June 30, 2001. There are also transition provisions that apply to business combinations completed before July 1, 2001 that were accounted for by the purchase method. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and provides new guidance regarding the recognition and measurement of intangible assets, eliminates the amortization of certain intangibles and requires annual assessments for impairment of intangible assets that are not subject to amortization. An initial impairment analysis is required as of the date of adoption and any resulting impairment loss is recognized as the effect of a change in accounting principle. Early adoption is SFAS 142 was not allowed. In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 143 ("SFAS 143"), "Accounting for Obligations Associated with the Retirement of Long-Lived Assets." The objectives of SFAS 143 are to establish accounting standards for the recognition and measurement of an asset retirement obligation and its associated asset retirement cost. SFAS 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 144 ("SFAS 144"), "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and, generally, is to be applied prospectively. EMERGENCY FILTRATION PRODUCTS, INC. Notes to the Financial Statements June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 NOTE 2 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued) In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 145 ("SFAS 145"), "Rescission of FASB Statements Nos. 4, 44, and 64 and Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13." SFAS 145 addresses the presentation for losses on early retirements of debt in the statement of operations. Adoption of SFAS 145 will have no impact on the Company's financial condition or cash flows. In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 146 ("SFAS 146"), "Accounting for Cost Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities for Certain Employee Termination Benefits." The provisions of SFAS 146 became effective for exit or disposal activities commenced subsequent to December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 141, SFAS 142, SFAS 144, and SFAS 145 had no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We do not expect the impact of SFAS 143 and SFAS 146 to be material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. NOTE 3 - LOSS PER SHARE Following is a reconciliation of the numerators of the basic and diluted loss per share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001: For the Three Months Ended June 30, -------------------------------------- 2002 2001 ------------------ ------------------ Net loss available to common shareholders $ (157,510) $ (93,510) ================= ================== Weighted average shares 11,988,425 10,947,460 Effect of dilutive securities - - ------------------ ------------------ 11,988,425 10,947,460 ================== ================== Basic loss per share (based on weighted average shares) $ (0.01) $ (0.01) ================== ================== EMERGENCY FILTRATION PRODUCTS, INC. Notes to the Financial Statements June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 NOTE 3 - LOSS PER SHARE (Continued) For the Six Months Ended June 30, -------------------------------------- 2002 2001 ------------------ ------------------ Net loss available to common shareholders $ (343,889) $ (258,487) ================== ================== Weighted average shares 11,848,320 10,547,859 Effect of dilutive securities - - ------------------ ------------------ 11,848,320 10,547,859 ================== ================== Basic loss per share (based on weighted average shares) $ (0.03) $ (0.02) ================== ================== Weighted average shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, which were not included in the above calculations, were approximately 6.1 million and 7.8 million in the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, because they were antidilutive. NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant losses, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $6,679,548 at June 30, 2002, which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. It is the intent of management to create additional revenues through the development and sales of its emergency respiration equipment and to rely upon additional equity financing if required to sustain operations until revenues are adequate to cover the costs. Management can offer no assurance with respect to its ability to create additional revenues or obtain additional equity financing. NOTE 5 - STOCK TRANSACTIONS During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company issued 321,000 shares of common stock at $0.40 per share for legal and other services rendered valued at $55,500 and in payment of related parties accounts payable totaling $72,900. The related parties accounts payable consisted primarily of accrued consulting fees. EMERGENCY FILTRATION PRODUCTS, INC. Notes to the Financial Statements June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 NOTE 6 - INVENTORY Inventory consists of raw materials and finished goods. Raw materials consist primarily of purchased component parts used in the assembly of the Company's products. NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is subject to certain claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, uninsured losses, if any, resulting from the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Item II. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Financial Condition Since the Company's inception, the Company has been involved in the development of its technology. During this time revenues have not been adequate to cover operating expenses. Without adequate revenues to offset expenditures, the Company has reported a loss in each of its years of existence. To date, the Company has funded itself by way of a series of private equity placements. As of the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Company had offset its accumulated deficit in this manner. The most valuable asset of the Company is its intellectual property and technology. The Company has acquired the rights to certain intellectual property, which property includes title to the patent on a component of an emergency CPR assistance device, called a dual-filtered rotary isolation valve. Rights pertaining thereto include the right to maintain, sell and improve the device, and to license those rights. Although the Company believes its technology to be very valuable in the real sense, this value is not quantified as such on the Company's Balance Sheet. The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant losses, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $6,679,548 at June 30, 2002, which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. It is the intent of management to create additional revenues through the development and sales of its emergency respiration equipment and to rely upon additional equity financing if required to sustain operations until revenues are adequate to cover the costs. Management can offer no assurance with respect to its ability to create additional revenues or obtain additional equity financing. Operational Results During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company reported revenues of $26,221 and $121,965, respectively, compared to $260,122 and $421,852, respectively, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001. Revenues have been in part from the sale of the emergency CPR assistance device and the Company is now focusing on securing licensing agreements and on a marketing-driven sales effort in order to increase revenues that will ultimately cover total expenditures. Additionally, the Company fulfilled orders for Superstat, a modified collagen hemostat, for which the Company has exclusive distribution rights to the U.S. government and military. The Company recently secured exclusive distribution rights to foreign governments and militaries. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company reported cost of sales of $18,160 and $77,426, respectively, compared to $138,122 and $248,741, respectively, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001. Costs as a percentage of sales were 69% and 63% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 53% and 59% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. These increases and decreases were due to fluctuating profit margins as a result of minor cost of materials differences. General and administrative expenditures in the second quarter of 2002 as compared to the second quarter of 2001, decreased to $153,779 from $194,639, representing a decrease of approximately 21%. General and administrative expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001 also decreased to $365,637 from $395,082, representing a decrease of approximately 7.5%. These decreases are the result of a reduction in expenditures for consulting services. Research and development costs decreased from $9,040 to $0 during the quarters ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively, and from $12,347 to $700 during the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively, due to the Company's focus on marketing efforts related to the current products. Capital Funding The Company currently is unable to generate sufficient cash from operations to sustain its business efforts as well as to accommodate its growth plans. Until it is able to generate sufficient cash flow, the Company will seek capital funding from outside resources. The Company presently has not concluded what form, whether debt or equity, such funding will be derived through. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company issued 321,000 shares of common stock, valued at $0.40 per share, for legal and other services rendered totaling $55,500 and in payment of related parties accounts payable totaling $72,900. The related parties accounts payable consisted primarily of accrued consulting fees. The Company's cost-efficient business model emphasizes: (1) in-house research and development; (2) accumulation of intellectual property assets; (3) ownership of key production equipment; and (4) outsourcing of all manufacturing, distribution, warehousing, and order fulfillment. Accordingly, the Company benefits from low overhead, as well as the pricing advantages inherent in proprietary specialty products. The Company's management is now completing transformation from a technology-driven research and development business to a marketing-driven proprietary products company. Product development efforts remain an important priority, but are now balanced by an increasing focus on elements of production and sales. The Company's current product line includes: -- RespAide(TM) CPR Isolation Mask. The company has received Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval for its RespAide(TM) CPR isolation mask incorporating the VIV filter, and recently commenced volume manufacturing and distribution of complete units and replacement filters (the RespAide(TM) filter needs to be replaced after each use). In tests by Nelson Laboratories, RespAide(TM) was found to be greater than 99.9% effective against bacterial and viral transmission - the highest rating testing labs will issue for medical devices, and believed by management of the Company to be superior to any competing product on the market. -- Disposable Filters for BVMs. The same filter used in the RespAide(TM) product is ideal for preventing contamination of "bag valve masks" which are single-use ventilators. The disposable filter keeps the equipment contaminant-free, thereby allowing a BVM to be safely reused with a new filter - a considerable economic benefit due to the lower replacement and disposal costs of the filter versus discarding the entire BVM unit. The Company has received FDA approval. -- Breathing Circuit Filters. To extend its market reach from emergency response sites to the vast number of respiratory procedures conducted within medical facilities, the Company has introduced a new configuration of its VIV technology, a two-way breathing circuit filter for applications where ambient air flow must pass evenly in both directions while still protecting equipment and hoses. This is suitable for use in anesthesia and general respiratory procedures. The Company has received FDA approval. In addition, the Company has designed another configuration of the technology for the BVM market that incorporates a self-contained nebulizer, a filter, and a bag with built-in CO(2) monitoring capabilities. A patent has been granted for this product and the Company has executed an agreement whereby it acquired the rights for commercial exploitation of the patent. The Company is currently conducting prototype development and expects to launch the product during 2002. The market for air purification filters for protection against communicable diseases has grown rapidly since the mid-1980's - from practically nil, to an estimated $1,460,000,000 in 1997. Demand has been driven largely by such factors as the spread of AIDS and Hepatitis C, the resurgence of Tuberculosis in many urban settings, and growing concerns in the medical community about new drug-resistant strains of bacteria. Such concerns are clearly evident in the results of recent independent surveys indicating that approximately 45% of doctors, 57% of EMTs, 80% of nurses, and substantially all paramedics surveyed would refuse to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on an adult stranger without barrier protection. Indeed, many of the respondents indicated that they had already walked away from situations in the community requiring mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. In addition to emergency ambulance services, police departments, firefighters, hospitals, doctors, the military, and major CPR training organizations such as the American Heart Association, management believes that the market also includes government and private sector entities that will choose, or may be required by law to keep CPR isolation masks on hand. The Company currently holds military national stocking numbers for the RespAide(TM) CPR isolation mask and replacement filters and for Superstat. These stocking numbers make the products acceptable for inventory in all four branches of the military and the U.S. Coast Guard. The Company received and fulfilled orders from the U.S. Navy and the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia for the products during 2001 and the first six months of 2002. To reach the market, the Company has entered into contractual arrangements with a number of U.S. and international medical product distributors. Additionally, the Company is actively pursuing licensing agreements with other companies that have market penetration. The Company intends to firmly establish its reputation for supplying the best medical air filters available, and then begin aggressively commercializing the technology in the enormous HVAC category. The Company estimates that the addition of HVAC applications will increase the total addressable market for dual-filtered vapor isolation valve technology. Competition The medical device industry is a highly competitive sector of the health care industry and there are a large number of established and well-financed entities with significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and in depth managerial capabilities than the Company. Although the Company has achieved patent protection for the RespAide(TM), there is no assurance that other entities may not compete in or enter the medical and commercial market in competition with the Company. This discussion may contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results could differ materially from those forward-looking statements. The factors that may cause actual results to differ materially is that the Company has no arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect to engaging in a merger with, joint venture with or acquisition of, a private or public company and that there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in identifying and evaluating suitable business opportunities or including a business combination.
