Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial information of Medizone International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) included herein is unaudited and has been prepared consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. These notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary in the opinion of management for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2016.

NOTE 2     CANADIAN FOUNDATION FOR GLOBAL HEALTH

In late 2008, the Company assisted in the formation of the Canadian Foundation for Global Health (“CFGH”), a not-for-profit foundation based in Ottawa, Canada. The Company helped establish CFGH for two primary purposes: (1) to establish an independent not-for-profit foundation intended to have a continuing working relationship with the Company for research purposes that is best positioned to attract the finest scientific, medical and academic professionals possible to work on projects deemed to be of social benefit; and (2) to provide a means for the Company to use a tiered pricing structure for services and products in emerging economies and extend the reach of the Company’s technology to as many in need as possible.

Accounting standards require a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to be consolidated by a company if that company absorbs a majority of the VIE’s expected losses and/or receives a majority of the VIE’s expected residual returns as a result of holding variable interests, which are the ownership, contractual, or other financial interests in the VIE. In addition, a legal entity may be considered to be a VIE, if it does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its own activities without relying on financial support from other parties. If the legal entity is a VIE, then the reporting entity determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE must consolidate its financial statements with those of the VIE. The Company determined that CFGH met the requirements of a VIE effective upon the first advance to CFGH on February 12, 2009. Accordingly, the financial statements of CFGH have been consolidated with those of the Company for all periods presented.

NOTE 3     BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

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

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 4     GOING CONCERN

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using US GAAP applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has incurred significant losses from its inception through June 30, 2016, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $36,206,508 as of June 30, 2016.  The Company does not have funds sufficient to cover its operating costs for the next 12 months, has negative equity, and has a working capital deficit of $3,419,407 as of June 30, 2016. The Company has relied exclusively on debt and equity financing to sustain its operations.  Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon future revenues, obtaining additional capital and ultimately, upon the Company’s attaining profitable operations.  The Company will require substantial additional funds to complete the continued development of its products and product manufacturing, and to fund expected additional losses, until revenues are sufficient to cover the Company’s operating expenses.  If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining the necessary additional funding, it will be forced to substantially reduce or cease operations.

The Company believes that it will need approximately $1,500,000 over the next 12 months for continued production manufacturing and related activities, research, development, and marketing activities, as well as for general corporate purposes.  No cash was generated through the sale of shares of common stock for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.   

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraphs and eventually attain profitable operations.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
NOTE 5     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company is subject to certain claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, uninsured losses, if any, resulting from the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Litigation
Rakas vs. Medizone International, Inc. - A former consultant brought this action against the Company claiming the Company had failed to pay consulting fees under a consulting agreement.  In September 2001, the parties agreed to settle the matter for $25,000.  The Company, however, did not have the funds to pay the settlement and the plaintiff moved the court to enter a default judgment in the amount of $143,000 in January 2002.  On May 8, 2002, the court vacated the default judgment and requested that the Company post a bond of $25,000 to cover the settlement previously entered into by the parties.  The Company has been unable to post the required bond amount as of the date of this report.  Therefore, the Company has recorded, as part of accounts payable, the original default judgment in the amount of $143,000, plus fees totaling $21,308, as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  The Company intends to contest the judgment if and when it is able to in the future.

Other Payables
As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company has $224,852 of past due payables for which the Company has not received statements or demands for payment for over 10 years.  Although management of the Company does not believe that the amounts will be required to be paid, the amounts are recorded as other payables until such time as the Company is certain that no liability exists and until the statute of limitations has expired.

Operating Leases
The Company operates a certified laboratory located at Innovation Park, Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, which provides a primary research and development platform.  The lease term is month-to-month with a monthly lease payment of $1,537 Canadian dollars (“CD”) plus the applicable goods and services tax (“GST”).  Leases for a second laboratory space for full scale room testing and a storage unit are on a month-to-month basis with monthly lease payments of CD$1,537 and CD$475, respectively, plus the applicable GST.  

The Company has a non-cancelable lease for office space located in California, with monthly payments of approximately $2,400 through December 31, 2016.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 6     COMMON STOCK OPTIONS (continued)

The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option award by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which model requires the use of exercise behavior data and the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the Company’s stock price, the weighted average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the options. Because the Company does not pay dividends, the dividend rate variable in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is zero. Expense of $0 and $126,369 related to stock options was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  Excluding options whose performance condition is not yet deemed probable, as of June 30, 2016, the Company had unvested outstanding options with related unrecognized expense of $112,147.  The Company will recognize this expense over the service period or when the achievement of the required milestones becomes probable.

The Company estimated the fair value of the stock options described in the above paragraphs as of the date of the grant or date of re-measurement, based on the following weighted-average assumptions:
 
Risk-free interest rate
 
1.50% to 1.69
%
Expected life

Expected volatility

NOTE 9     RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP.  The core principle of ASU No. 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services.  ASU No. 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing US GAAP.  The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein.  Earlier adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  The Company is assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.  ASU No. 2014-15 sets forth management’s responsibility to evaluate, each reporting period, whether there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and if so, to provide related disclosures in the financial statements.  ASU No. 2014-15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods ending after December 15, 2016.  The Company is assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on the Company’s financial statement presentation.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740), simplifying the presentation of deferred income taxes on the balance sheet by requiring companies to classify everything as either a non-current asset or non-current liability. ASU No. 2015-17 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods ending after December 15, 2016.  The Company is assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on the Company’s financial statement presentation.

In February 2016, the FASB released ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to bring transparency to lessee balance sheets. ASU No. 2016-02 will require organizations that lease assets (lessees) to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months. ASU No. 2016-02 will apply to both types of leases; capital (or finance) leases and operating leases. Previously, US GAAP has required only capital leases to be recognized on lessee balance sheets. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application is permitted. The Company is assessing the impact of ASU No. 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share- Based Payment Accounting. ASU No. 2016-09 is intended to simplify several areas of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeitures. ASU No. 2016-09 is effective for years ending after December 31, 2016, and the Company is assessing the impact of ASU No. 2016-09 on its consolidated financial statements. 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.  To simplify presentation of debt issuance costs, the amendments in ASU No. 2015-03 require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts.  The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in ASU No. 2015-03.  ASU 2015-03 was effective for the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 and there was no impact on its financial reporting.

NOTE 10     SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and noted none that require accounting or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Introduction
 
Medizone International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (collectively with its affiliate, “Medizone,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is engaged in conducting research into the use of ozone in the disinfection of surgical and other medical treatment facilities and in other applications.  During 2012, we began to sell our patented ozone disinfection system, AsepticSure®.  Our current work is in the field of hospital disinfection, rather than human therapies.  We cannot predict when or if we will generate sufficient cash flows from operating activities to fund continuing or planned operations.  If we fail to obtain additional funding, we will be forced to suspend or permanently cease operations, and may need to seek protection under U.S. bankruptcy laws.

Recent Developments
 
In June 2016, we received additional patent protection for the AsepticSure ® system by the European Union Patent and Trademark Office (EU) for our patent application Bio-Terrorism Counter Measures Using Ozone and Hydrogen Peroxide.  This EU patent grant expands on the previously awarded bio-terrorism patent protection in the U.S. and Canada.  With this EU patent, we secure patent protection in the United Kingdom, Germany, and France.
As of June 30, 2016, we were preparing to ship our first three units under our agreement with our South American distributor GYD S.A.  The units sold to the distributor are Generation II AsepticSure® systems that were converted to Generation III systems, as such the negotiated price is not reflective of standard pricing.  In connection with this order the distributor paid an initial deposit of $118,500 on June 13, 2016.  We shipped two of the three units in July 2016, at which time we received another payment of approximately $79,000.  The remaining $39,500 is expected to be received when the third unit is shipped in August 2016.

Results of Operations
 
Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015
 
During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, we continued our primary focus on the expansion of our distribution channels, obtaining approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), and the development of a computer control feature for the AsepticSure® system.

For the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we had no revenues or associated cost of revenues.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, we had a net loss of $320,733, compared with a net loss of $384,517 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.  Our primary expenses are payroll and consulting fees, research and development costs, office expenses, and interest expense.  The decrease for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to reduced general and administrative expenses from less stock-based compensation expense for options previously granted, offset slightly by increased research and development expenses.
 
For the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred $216,182 and $288,182, respectively, in general and administrative expenses. The majority of these expenses were payroll, consulting fees and professional fees. The decrease for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 over the comparable period in the prior year was due to less stock-based compensation expense for options previously granted to directors and consultants.
 
For the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred $82,075 and $76,840, respectively, in research and development expenses.  Research and development expenses include consulting fees, interface development costs, prototypes, and research stage ozone generator and instrument development.  The increase for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 over the comparable period in the prior year was due to increased consulting costs which were partially offset by lower stock-based compensation expense from options that were granted to a consultant and an employee in 2015.
 
Principal amounts owed on notes payable totaled $292,124 and $297,396 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.  Interest expense on these obligations for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, was $8,539 and $6,222, respectively. The interest rates on this debt range from 4.63% to 10.00% per annum.


Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we had a net loss of $808,162, compared with a net loss of $794,008 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Our primary expenses are payroll, consulting fees, research and development costs, and office expenses, together with interest expense and additional expense recorded as a result of options granted to directors, employees and consultants.  The increase in net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, was due to an increase in research and development costs from consulting and stock-based compensation expense for options granted to directors, employees and consultants.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred $495,246 and $601,014, respectively, in general and administrative expenses. The primary reason for the decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, was from the decreased option expense.  The number of option grants and vesting for directors, employees and consultants resulting in compensation expense in 2016 was lower than in 2015.  Our primary expenses are payroll, consulting fees, and professional fees. The remaining general and administrative expenses include rent, office expenses and travel expenses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred $268,036 and $154,073, respectively, in research and development expenses as a result of prototype development expenses, consulting, and other research activities. The primary reason for the increase for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, was increased development software, supplies, and consulting expenses including stock-based compensation expense related to restricted common shares issued in January 2016.

Interest expense on the notes payable during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, was $17,130 and $12,618, respectively. The applicable interest rates on this debt range from 4.63% to 10.00% per annum.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of June 30, 2016, our working capital deficiency was $3,419,407, compared to a working capital deficiency of $2,675,007 as of December 31, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, we had approximately $49,000 of available cash and as of July 31, 2016 we had approximately $16,000 of available cash.   We have incurred significant losses from inception through June 30, 2016, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $36,206,508.  The stockholders’ deficit as of June 30, 2016 was $3,330,882, compared to $2,596,234 as of December 31, 2015.  This change is due to proceeds from the sale of restricted shares of common stock being less than the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
 
We will continue to require additional financing to fund operations and to continue to test and market our hospital and medical disinfection system.  We believe we will need approximately $1,500,000 over the next 12 months for continued production manufacturing and related activities, research, development, and marketing activities, as well as for general corporate purposes.  
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we generated cash of $546,000 through the sale of 10,800,000 shares of common stock to 15 accredited investors at prices ranging from $0.05 per share to $0.07 per share.  No cash was generated through the sale of shares of common stock for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.  We anticipate that we will be able to raise additional funds, as needed, from certain of the accredited investors who have purchased shares during previous years, although we have no agreements at this time with any of these investors to purchase our securities, and there can be no assurance that these investors will purchase additional shares.

Going Concern

Our unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared with the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. There is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.  Through the date of this report on Form 10-Q, we have relied upon financing from the sale of our equity securities to sustain operations. Additional financing will be required if we are to continue as a going concern. If additional financing is not obtained in the near term, we will be required to curtail or discontinue operations, or seek protection under the U.S. bankruptcy laws. Even if additional financing becomes available, there can be no assurance that it will be on terms favorable to us. In any event, this additional financing will likely result in immediate and possibly substantial dilution to existing stockholders.


Forward-Looking Statements and Risks
 
The statements contained in this report on Form 10-Q that are not historical are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements discuss our expectations, hopes, beliefs, anticipations, commitments, intentions and strategies regarding the future. They may be identified by the use of the words or phrases that include “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “should,” “plans,” “estimates,” and “potential,” among others. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations regarding our financial performance, revenue and expense levels in the future and the sufficiency of existing liquidity to fund future operations and capital spending needs. Actual results could differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements for the reasons detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
 
We believe that many of the risks previously discussed in our SEC filings are part of doing business in the industry in which we operate and will likely be present in all periods reported. The fact that certain risks are endemic to the industry does not lessen their significance. The forward-looking statements contained in this report are made as of the date of this report and we assume no obligation to update them or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in such forward-looking statements. Among others, risks and uncertainties that may affect our business, financial condition, performance, development, and results of operations include:

·
Rigorous government scrutiny and regulation of our products and planned products;
·
Potential effects of adverse publicity regarding ozone and related technologies or industries;
·
Failure to sustain or manage growth including the failure to continue to develop new products; and
·
The potential inability to obtain needed financing or to obtain funding on terms favorable to us.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”). The preparation of such statements requires our management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to intangible assets, expenses, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and other facts and circumstances that are believed to be reasonable, and the results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. 

We recognize revenue when a contractual arrangement exists, product is shipped, payment from the customer is reasonably assured, and the price is fixed or determinable.  We record customer deposits that have not yet been earned as unearned revenue. Revenue is recognized only when title and risk of loss passes to the customer.
 
Our inventory consists of our AsepticSure® product and is valued on a specific identification basis.  We purchase our inventory as a finished product from unrelated manufacturing companies. We write off 100% of the cost of inventory that we specifically identify and consider obsolete or excessive to fulfill future sales estimates. No inventory was obsolete or excessive as of June 30, 2016.

We record compensation expense in connection with the granting of stock options and their vesting periods based on their fair values. We estimate the fair values of stock option awards issued to employees, consultants and other non-employees at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For stock options with a service condition, the expense is measured at the grant date and expensed over the vesting period. For stock options with a performance condition, the expense is measured when it is probable that the performance condition will be met, subsequently re-measured at each reporting date, and trued up upon the final completion of the performance condition.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods that are specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding any required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating these disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
