Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our disclosure controls and procedures are intended to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Based on that evaluation, our management has concluded that, as of as of December 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level because we have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed below. .
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management recognizes that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain judgments and assumptions and cannot provide absolute assurance that its objectives will be met. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Similarly, an evaluation of controls cannot provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Table of Contents
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as a result of the material weakness described below. Our internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm as we are not an accelerated filer, nor a large accelerated filer.
Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management have concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, we did not maintain effective controls over the preparation, review, presentation and disclosure of our financial statements relating to bad debt. Specifically, we noted the following
·
We did not design or maintain effective controls with respect to the review of the accounting for bad debt reserves, including maintaining effective controls to prevent or detect errors in the assessment of bad debt reserves. Specifically, our policy for bad debt reserves was primarily based on customer relationships and managements view of the collectability of the receivables. The bad debt expense analysis resulted in a material adjustment to accounts receivable and bad debt expense for the year ended December 31, 2021.
·
We did not maintain effective controls to identify and maintain segregation of duties to support the identification, authorization, approval, accounting for, and the disclosure of bad debt reserves.
These control deficiencies did not result in a misstatement to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 following the adjustment to accounts receivable as discussed above. However, these control deficiencies, if not remediated, could result in a misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements which would result in a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, our management has determined that these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses.
Remediation Plans
Our management, with oversight from our Audit Committee, is in the process of developing and implementing remediation plans in response to the identified material weaknesses described above. Specifically, we are revising our bad debt reserve policy to consider the time of the balances outstanding along with the credit worthiness of the customer and revising our review and approval policies and procedures to include segregation of duties and approvals.
We believe the measures described above will remediate the control deficiencies we have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes and will continue to review, optimize and enhance our financial reporting controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During our most recent fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

The amounts shown in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of stock, option and/or warrant award, as applicable, granted during the year computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. See Note 2 of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of valuation assumptions made in determining the grant date fair value of the awards.
(2)
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we issued Dr. Shane five and ten-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 543,750 shares of common stock as executive compensation. The exercise price of the warrants range was $1.20-6.95 per share, based on the three-day trailing VWAP on the date of issuance. Utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model, we determined the fair value of the warrants issued to Dr. Shane was approximately $2,835,000, with the following assumptions: volatility, 136%-173%; expected dividend yield, 0%; risk free interest rate, 0.67%-1.64%; and a life of 5-10 years. The grant date fair value of each share of common stock underlying the warrants range was $1.04-6.99. We recognized equity-based compensation to Dr. Shane of approximately $2,835,000 on the warrants during the year ended December 31, 2020 pursuant to an employment agreement. Please refer to Item 11 Employment Agreements for additional details of Dr. Shane’s annual compensation.

Shane on February 11, 2014 (the “Warrant”), to provide us with an option to repurchase the Warrant from Dr. Shane at a negotiated price. In connection with the Warrant Amendment, we repurchased the warrant from Dr. Shane (the “Repurchase”) for an aggregate cash consideration of $314,500, representing a 15% discount of the net exercise cash value of the Warrant, which was calculated using the closing price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq on February 11, 2021 of $5.36, less the exercise price of the warrants in the amount of $2.40. The Warrant Amendment and the Repurchase was considered, approved and adopted by a disinterested majority of Our board of directors. The $314,500 is included as other compensation.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we issued Ms. Shane a ten-year warrant to purchase an aggregate of 6,250 shares of common stock as executive compensation.

Utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model, we determined the fair value of the warrants issued to Ms. Shane was approximately $25,000, with the following assumptions: volatility, 173%; expected dividend yield, 0%; risk free interest rate, 0.68%; and a life of 10 years. The grant date fair value of each share of common stock underlying the warrants was $4.00. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we issued Ms. Shane’s options to purchase an aggregate of 31,250 shares of common stock as executive compensation. The exercise price of the option was $7.06 per share. Utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model, we determined the fair value of the option issued to Ms. Shane was approximately $202,000, with the following assumptions: volatility, 154%; expected dividend yield, 0%; risk free interest rate, 0.67%; and a life of 5 years. The grant date fair value of each share of common stock underlying the options was $6.47. In aggregate, we recognized equity-based compensation to Ms. Shane of approximately $227,000 on the options during the year ended December 31, 2020. The other compensation in the amount of $13,500 represents an auto allowance pursuant to Ms. Shane’s employment agreement.

Item 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Equity Compensation Plan Information
We currently maintain one compensation plan: the 2016 Plan. The 2016 Plan was approved by the Board on January 29, 2016 and received shareholder approval on July 7, 2017. The 2016 Plan authorized the issuance of 625,000 shares of common stock. On August 25, 2015, the Board terminated the 2008 Plan, which we had maintained previously and which our shareholders had approved. Accordingly, we will issue future awards under the 2016 Plan.
On December 30, 2020, we received shareholder approval to amend and restate the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the maximum number of shares of common stock authorized from issuance by 1,375,000, from 625,000 shares to 2,000,000.

Item 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Transactions with Related Persons
None.
Independence of the Board
Based upon information submitted by Mr. Johnsen, Ms. Anderson, and Dr. Lim, the Board has determined that each of them is “independent” under Nasdaq corporate governance rules. Dr. Shane and Elissa Shane are not independent directors as they are employees of the Company. No director will be considered “independent” unless the Board affirmatively determines that the director has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company.
Our Board has three separate standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
We have made each of our committee charters available on our website at http://investor.tomimist.com/.
Item 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES
On August 30, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Company determined that it is in the best interest of the Company to change the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Wolinetz, Lafazan & Company, P.C. (“Wolinetz, Lafazan & Company”), because the lead partner announced his decision to resign for personal reasons, and the firm would no longer have sufficient resources to continue to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, the Audit Committee terminated the engagement of Wolinetz, Lafazan & Company, effective as of August 30, 2021.
The reports of Wolinetz, Lafazan & Company on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.
During two fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and the subsequent interim period through August [30], 2021, there were no disagreements as described under Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K with Wolinetz, Lafazan & Company on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Wolinetz, Lafazan & Company’s satisfaction, would have caused Wolinetz, Lafazan & Company to make reference to the subject matter thereof in connection with its reports on the financial statements of the Company for such years. In addition, during the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and the subsequent interim period through August 30, 2021, there were no reportable events as described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has provided Wolinetz, Lafazan & Company with a copy of a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing the resignation and appointment, and requested that Wolinetz, Lafazan & Company furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of Wolinetz, Lafazan & Company’s letter, dated September 1, 2021, was attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1 to the Form 8-K.
Effective as of August 30, 2021, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ending December 31, 2021 subject to Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A. completion of its standard client acceptance procedures.
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and the subsequent interim period through August 30, 2021, the Company did not consult with Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A. with respect to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to us by Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A. that was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any other matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a “reportable event.”

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (the Company) as of year ended December 31, 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flow for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of year ended December 31, 2021 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
As described further in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts against its accounts receivable balances based on the future estimated credit losses. As of December 31, 2021, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $1.7 million, or 47% of total accounts receivable. This estimate is determined based on internally developed qualitative and quantitative factors derived from the aging of receivables, the Company’s past collection history with customers, and economic trends and conditions. We identified the estimates used to determine the allowance for doubtful accounts as a critical audit matter.
We have identified the evaluation of the Company’s estimation of allowance for doubtful accounts as a critical audit matter. There is a high degree of subjectivity in assessing the assumptions, which are used in estimating losses related to customer receivables. There is also a high degree of subjectivity in management's assessment of the completeness and accuracy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, specifically the portion of the receivable expected to be collected, which requires a heightened level of auditor judgement in auditing the estimate.
Our audit procedures related to the allowance for doubtful accounts included:
·
Testing the mathematical accuracy of management’s allowance for doubtful accounts calculation as of December 31, 2021 by recalculating the historical loss rates for each risk pool, as well as recalculating the aging of receivables based on underlying source documentation.
·
Recomputing current and historical collection rates for customer receivable balances and comparing the historical loss rates against the current period estimated loss rates within the respective risk pools, and performing a retrospective analysis of the subsequent collections on customer receivables with certain risk characteristics,
·
Evaluating the reasonableness of management’s qualitative adjustments against the allowance for doubtful accounts by obtaining corroborating evidence which supports the adjustments and assumptions made by management in determining the allowance.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Revenue Recognition — Refer to Note 2 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company generates revenue primarily from the manufacture, license, service and sale of its products. The Company’s contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. The Company enters into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are primarily distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Management applies significant judgment in identifying and accounting for each performance obligation as a result of evaluating terms and conditions in contracts. The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition is a critical audit matter include the following:
·
Determination of whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together.
·
The pattern of delivery (i.e., timing of when revenue is recognized) for each distinct performance obligation.
·
Identification of specific or key contract terms that may impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized.
Given these factors and due to the volume of transactions, the related audit effort in evaluating management’s judgments in determining revenue recognition for these customer agreements was extensive and required a high degree of auditor judgment.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included the following:
·
Considering the effectiveness of controls relating to the revenue recognition process, including controls over the identification and evaluation of the contractual terms and conditions that impact the identification of performance obligations and determination of revenue recognition.
·
Testing the completeness and accuracy of management’s identification and evaluation of the terms and conditions in contracts with customers by examining customer agreements on a test basis including reviewing and evaluating management’s identification of performance obligations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc., a Florida corporation (“TOMI”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” and “us”) 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 mist and fog. Our solution and process are environmentally friendly as the only biproduct from our decontamination process is oxygen and humidity. Our solution is organically listed in the United States and Canada it is sustainably a green product with no or very little carbon footprint. Our business is organized into five divisions: Healthcare, Life Sciences, TOMI Service Network, Food Safety and Commercial.
Invented under a defense grant in association with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the U.S. Department of Defense, BIT™ is registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and uses a low percentage hydrogen peroxide as its only active ingredient to produce a fog composed mostly of a hydroxyl radical ( . OH ion), known as ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (iHP™). Represented by the SteraMist® brand of products, iHP™ produces a germ-killing aerosol that works like a visual non-caustic gas.
Our products are designed to service a broad spectrum of commercial structures, including, but not limited to, hospitals and medical facilities, bio-safety labs, pharmaceutical facilities, meat and produce processing facilities, universities and research facilities, vivarium labs, other service industries including cruise ships, office buildings, hotel and motel rooms, schools, restaurants, military barracks, police and fire departments, prisons, and athletic facilities. Our products are also used in single-family homes and multi-unit residences. Additionally, our products have been listed on the EPA’s List N as products that help combat COVID-19 and are actively being used for this purpose.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TOMI and its wholly owned subsidiary, TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation. All 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 material effect on previously reported results of operations or financial position.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the 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 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.
F-10
Table of Contents
Fair Value Measurements
The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following:
Level 1:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:
Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents 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. At December, 2021 and 2020 there were no cash equivalents.
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 their status 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 years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $ 1,605,660 and $ 332,027 , respectively. At December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $ 1,678,000 and $ 390,000 , respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories consist primarily of finished goods and raw materials.
We expense costs to maintain certification to cost of goods sold as incurred.
We review inventory on an ongoing basis, considering factors such as deterioration and obsolescence. We record an allowance for estimated losses when the facts and circumstances indicate that particular inventories may not be usable. Our reserve for obsolete inventory was $ 0 as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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.
F-11
Table of Contents
Leases
We recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months, in accordance with ASC 842. We utilize the short-term lease recognition exemption for all asset classes as part of our on-going accounting under ASC 842. This means, for those leases that qualify, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses depends on classification as a finance or operating lease.
As a lessee, we utilize the reasonably certain threshold criteria in determining which options we will exercise. Furthermore, our lease payments are based on index rates with minimum annual increases. These represent fixed payments and are captured in the future minimum lease payments calculation. In determining the discount rate to use in calculating the present value of lease payments, we used our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at adoption date in determining the present value of lease payments.
We have also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all asset classes, meaning all consideration that is fixed, or in-substance fixed, will be captured as part of our lease components for balance sheet purposes. Furthermore, all variable payments included in lease agreements will be disclosed as variable lease expense when incurred. Generally, variable lease payments are based on usage and common area maintenance. These payments will be included as variable lease expense when recognized.
Capitalized Software Development Costs
In accordance with ASC 985-20 regarding the development of software to be sold, leased, or marketed, we expense such costs as they are incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at and after which time those costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. The periodic expense for the amortization of capitalized software development costs will be included in cost of sales. Amortization expense for both the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, was $ 41,900 .
Accounts Payable
As of December 31, 2021, two vendors accounted for approximately 53 % of accounts payable. As of December 31, 2020, two vendors accounted for approximately 32 % of accounts payable.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, two vendors accounted for 65 % of cost of sales. For the year ended December 31, 2020, two vendors accounted for 76 % of 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 consolidated statement of operations at the date of sale. Our manufacturers assume the warranty against product defects from date of sale, which we extend to our customers upon sale of the product. We assume responsibility for product reliability and results. As of December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, our warranty reserve was $ 68,000 (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) Topic 740: Income Taxes. Net deferred tax benefits have been fully reserved at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. 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.
F-12
Table of Contents
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income or (loss) per share is computed by dividing our net income or (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period presented. Diluted income or (loss) per share is based on the treasury stock method and includes the effect from potential issuance of shares of common stock, such as shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of options and warrants and conversions of preferred stock or debentures.
Potentially dilutive securities as of December 31, 2021 consisted of 3,381,021 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, 143,000 shares of common stock issuable upon outstanding options and 63,750 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding shares of Preferred A stock (“Convertible Series A Preferred Stock”).
Potentially dilutive securities as of December 31, 2020 consisted of 2,049,133 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, 132,500 shares of common stock issuable upon outstanding options and 63,750 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding shares of Preferred A stock (“Convertible Series A Preferred Stock”).
Diluted net income or (loss) per share is computed similarly to basic net income or (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential shares of common stock had been issued and if such additional shares were dilutive. Options, warrants, preferred stock and shares associated with the conversion of debt to purchase approximately 3.6 million and 2.2 million shares of common stock were outstanding at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, but were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share at December 31, 2021 due to the anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share.

Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). We recognize revenue when we transfer promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation(s). At contract inception, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract, assess whether each promised good or service is distinct and identify those that are performance obligations.
We must use judgment to determine: a) the number of performance obligations based on the determination under step (ii) above and whether those performance obligations are distinct from other performance obligations in the contract; b) the transaction price under step (iii) above; and c) the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract for the allocation of transaction price in step (iv) above.
Title and risk of loss generally pass to our customers upon shipment. Our Customers include end users as well as dealers and distributors who market and sell our products. Our revenue is not contingent upon resale by the dealer or distributor, and we have no further obligations related to bringing about resale. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in Product Revenues. The associated expenses are treated as fulfillment costs and are included in Cost of Revenues. Revenues are reported net of sales taxes collected from Customers.

Product revenue includes sales from our standard and customized equipment, solution and accessories sold with our equipment. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products.
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 December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020 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.
F-15
Table of Contents
The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of options and warrants issued as compensation during the period is the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the options. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on continuously compounded risk–free rates for the appropriate term. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero as the Company has never paid or declared any cash dividends on its Common Stock and does not intend to pay dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The expected forfeiture rate is estimated based on management’s best assessment.
On July 7, 2017, our shareholders approved the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2016 Plan. The 2016 Plan authorizes the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units/shares. Up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under the 2016 Plan. Shares issued under the 2016 Plan may be either authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or any combination thereof. Provisions in the 2016 Plan permit the reuse or reissuance by the 2016 Plan of shares of common stock for numerous reasons, including, but not limited to, shares of common stock underlying canceled, expired, or forfeited awards of stock-based compensation and stock appreciation rights paid out in the form of cash. Equity compensation expense will typically be awarded in consideration for the future performance of services to us. All recipients of awards under the 2016 Plan are required to enter into award agreements with us at the time of the award, and awards under the 2016 Plan are expressly conditioned upon such agreements. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we issued 50,000 and 50,000 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 years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Advertising and Promotional Expenses
We expense advertising costs in the period in which they are incurred. Advertising and promotional expenses included in selling expenses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $ 701,000 and $ 276,000 , respectively.
Research and Development Expenses
We expense research and development expenses in the period in which they are incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, research and development expenses were approximately $ 573,000 and $ 455,000 , respectively.
Business Segments
We currently have one reportable business segment due to the fact that we derive our revenue primarily from one product. A breakdown of revenue is presented in “Revenue Recognition” in Note 2 above.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (Topic 805). This ASU requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities (deferred revenue) from acquired contracts using the revenue recognition guidance in Topic 606. At the acquisition date, the acquirer applies the revenue model as if it had originated the acquired contracts. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of the ASU should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is also permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If early adopted, the amendments are applied retrospectively to all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurred during the fiscal year of adoption. This ASU is currently not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832). This ASU requires business entities to disclose information about government assistance they receive if the transactions were accounted for by analogy to either a grant or a contribution accounting model. The disclosure requirements include the nature of the transaction and the related accounting policy used, the line items on the balance sheets and statements of operations that are affected and the amounts applicable to each financial statement line item and the significant terms and conditions of the transactions. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The disclosure requirements can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all transactions in the scope of the amendments that are reflected in the financial statements at the date of initial application and new transactions that are entered into after the date of initial application. The ASU is currently not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The amendments in the ASU include removing exceptions to incremental intraperiod tax allocation of losses and gains from different financial statement components, exceptions to the method of recognizing income taxes on interim period losses, and exceptions to deferred tax liability recognition related to foreign subsidiary investments. In addition, the ASU requires that entities recognize franchise tax based on an incremental method and requires an entity to evaluate the accounting for step-ups in the tax basis of goodwill as inside or outside of a business combination. We adopted ASU 2019-12 starting 2021, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 7. LEASES
In April 2018, we entered into a 10 -year lease agreement for a new 9,000 -square-foot facility that contains office, warehouse, lab and research and development space in Frederick, Maryland. The lease agreement was scheduled to commence on December 1, 2018 or when the property was ready for occupancy. The agreement provided for annual rent of $ 143,460 , an escalation clause that increases the rent 3 % year over year, a landlord tenant improvement allowance of $ 405,000 and additional landlord work as discussed in the lease agreement. We took occupancy of the property on December 17, 2018 and the lease was amended in March 2019 to provide for a 4-month rent holiday and a commencement date of April 1, 2019. A 7 % discount rate was determined using used our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at adoption date in determining the present value of lease payments.

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 by us 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.
Reverse Stock Split
On September 9, 2020, the Board approved a reverse stock split of our common stock and our Convertible Series A Preferred Stock, in each case, at a ratio of 1-for-8 and without any change to the respective par value thereof (the “Reverse Stock Split”), and, on September 10, 2020 , we filed an Articles of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Department of State of the State of Florida to effect the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split became effective as of September 10, 2020. All per-share and share amounts have been retroactively restated.

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Contingencies
We may become a party to litigation in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, there are no legal matters involving us that would have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, from time to time, we may have to file claims against parties that infringe on our intellectual property.
Product Liability
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no claims against us for product liability.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the global demand for disinfection products and services that help prevent the spread and transmission of COVID-19 virus. The Company’s products have been identified as an essential disinfectant and decontamination vendor by various agencies and countries, which have materially affected its business and results of operations. The Company experienced a substantial increase in demand for our products and services in 2020 due to the pandemic. Throughout 2021, the Company experienced a reduction of demand due to various factors, including the closure of our major customers’ business operations due to the pandemic, which resulted in the suspension of many of its ongoing long-term projects. It is difficult to predict how COVID-19 pandemic will affect the Company’s financial performance in the remainder of 2022, as the global economy gradually reopens, customers adjust and change their operations, and the Company implements new marketing and sales strategies in response.

Our income tax expense differed from the amounts computed by applying the United States statutory corporate income tax rate for the following reasons:
On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was enacted into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a federal corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the transition of U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system and a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. We are required to recognize the effect of the tax law changes in the period of enactment, such as re-measuring our U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities as well as reassessing the net realizability of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Tax Act did not give rise to any material impact on the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations due to our historical loss position and the full valuation allowance on our net U.S. deferred tax assets.

Net Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

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 December 31, 2021, we recorded a valuation allowance of $ 4,941,000 for the portion of the deferred tax assets that we do not expect to be realized. The valuation allowance on our net deferred taxes increased by $ 1,411,000 during the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to U.S. deferred tax assets incurred in the current year that cannot be realized. 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.
For income tax purposes in the United States, we had available federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 of approximately $ 15,312,000 and $ 11,465,000 respectively to reduce future federal taxable income. For income tax purposes in the United States, we had available state NOL carryforwards as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 of approximately $ 11,881,000 and $ 9,663,000 respectively to reduce future state taxable income. If any of the NOL’s generated prior to 2018 are not utilized, they will expire at various dates through 2037. NOL’s generated after 2017 carry forward indefinitely. There may be certain limitations as to the future annual use of the NOLs due to certain changes in our ownership.

We record uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the management of the Company determined there were no reportable uncertain tax positions.
