Forward-looking statements deal with our current plans, objectives, projections, expectations, assumptions, strategies, and future events. Words such as "may," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "will," "should," "could," and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Similarly, statements that describe our plans, our strengths and weaknesss and other information that is not historical information also are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements, expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following: general economic and business conditions, which will, among other thing, impact the ability of the Company to implement its business strategy, and changes in, or failure to comply with, governmental regulations affecting food and health. In addition to the other information contained in this annual report, the following risk factors, among others, that make investment in shares of the Company's common stock speculative and risky should be carefully considered. Poor Financial Position. For each of the fiscal years ended April 30, 2004 and 2005, we had net losses of $1,735,965 and $4,281.321, respectively. At April 30, 2005, our total liabilities exceeded out total assets by $1,391,818 and the deficit accumulated during the development stage was $6,662,936. As a result of our recurring losses from operations and our having no established source off revenue, we require considerable additional financing to continue in as a going-concern. The continuing financial support of directors, officers and shareholders to satisfy our liabilities and commitments is essential to the continuation of the Company and there can be no assurance that such financial support will be available in the future. Dependence on Key Personnel. The success of the Company is largely dependent upon the continued contributions of its key management personnel, particularly Patricia Ross-Gruden and Robert Bowker. The success of the Company also depends upon its ability to attract and retain additional qualified personnel. The process of locating personnel with the combination of skills and attributes required to implement our strategies is very competitive and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel, particularly in view of our poor financial position. The loss of the services of our key management personnel or the inability to attract and retain additional qualified personnel could limit or disrupt our future business operations. Government Regulation. Increased or other federal or state government regulation of the food and health industries could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation, by requiring further testing of our products and imposing other or different licensing requirements. No Dividends Expected. We have not paid any cash or other dividends on our common shares since inception and we do not expect to pay any dividends in the future. We expect to use any earnings in our operations. 3 Intense Competition in the Food and Health Industries. There is intense competition among providers, both individuals and entities, of various technologies to improve food and health conditions. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial and marketing resources than the Company, stronger name recognition, brand loyalty and long-standing relationships with our target customers. Our future success is dependent upon our ability to compete and our failure to do so could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation. Limited or Sporadic Market Quotations; Possible Illiquidity; Penny Stock Restrictions. Shares of our common stock are quoted and traded from time to time on the OTC Bulletin Board and in the so-called "Pink Sheets," but the quotations and trades are limited and sporadic. As a result, our shareholders may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations concerning the market value of their shares. Our shareholders also may experience more difficulty in attempting to sell their shares than if the shares were listed on a national stock exchange of quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market. Also, our common shares are classified as a "penny stock" because they are not traded on a national stock exchange or on the NASDAQ Stock Market and the market price is less than $5 per share. Rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that recommend the purchase or sale of penny stocks to persons other than those who qualify as an "established customer" or an "accredited investor." Among other things, a broker-dealer must make a determination that investments in penny stocks are suitable for the customer and must make special disclosures to the customer concerning the risks of penny stocks. Application of the penny stock rules to our common shares could adversely affect the market liquidity of the shares, which in turn may adversely affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares. PART I ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. eFoodSafety.com, Inc. ("eFood" or the "Company") is a development stage company all of whose planned principal operations have commenced, but the Company has not generated any significant revenue. The Company is a holding company operating through wholly owned subsidiaries and dedicated to improving food and health conditions around the world through innovative technologies. The Company was incorporated in Nevada on October 28, 1996 as DJH International, Inc., acquired Global Procurement Systems, Inc. on October 16, 2000 for shares of its common stock and changed its name to eFoodSafety.com, Inc. Ozone Safe Food, Inc. ("OSF") was acquired on October 29, 2003 for shares of the Company's common stock and Knock-Out Technologies, Ltd ("Knock-Out")was acquired on May 3, 2004 for shares of the Company's common stock. The Company's Knock-Out. subsidiary ("Knock-Out") is developing a variety of products based on a proprietary blend of organic, non-toxic and food-based substances. These products include an anthrax sporicidal, a germicidal cleaner, a wound care antiseptic, an herbicide and an insect repellent. Knock-Out has developed an all-natural and environmentally safe sporicidal formulated entirely of food-grade components that eradicates anthrax as well as a germicidal product that kills major bacteria: including E-coli, Listeria, Pseudomonas, Salmonella, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus and avian flu. Its anthrax sporicidal product eradicated with 100% efficacy Bacillus Subtilis and Clostridium Sporogenes bacteria on both hard and porous surfaces in a outside, third-party laboratory study that is a requisite for EPA licensure. As a result of these successful laboratory results, Knock-Out will seek EPA licensing for this product as both an 4 Anthrax Sporicial Agent and a Hospital Sterilizing Agent. Potential customers for Knock-Out's anthrax sporicidal product may include the U.S. government, which has expressed interest in products that kill the anthrax virus. Potential customers for the germicidal cleaner product include nursing homes, hospitals and food service facilities. The Company's Ozone Safe Food, Inc. subsidiary ("OSF") provides a proprietary technology that cleans and sanitizes equipment and other surfaces, to help reduce pathogens and to provide longer shelf-life to produce and meats. The patented technology can be utilized for direct application of ozone to beef, poultry, seafood, fruits and vegetables. The Company has distributors in the United States, the United Kingdom, China, Mexico, Canada and Australia. Results of recent experimental tests conducted at Assumption University in Bangkok, Thailand concluded that OSF's mobile ozone unit reduced the number of surface bacteria contaminants by up t 99.8%. Potential customers for OSF's ozone equipment include produce shippers and processors, beef, poultry, pork, seafood, dairy and waste processors, trucks, bins, food service, production lines, hotels and restaurants. SALES AND MARKETING. Our products are marketed domestically and internationally through several non- exclusive distribution agreements and by our attending trade shows and industry-related events and seminars. We also plan to market all services and products through outside commissioned sales persons and through our website, http://www.efoodsafety.com. COMPETITION. The market for sanitation products for fruits and vegetables is intensely competitive. We have limited operating history and minimal revenues from operations. We currently have assets and financial resources, but we had operated at a loss for some time and must now execute its business plan. We are smaller than our national competitors, and consequently lack comparable financial resources to enter into certain markets. In fact, we compete with several companies that specialize in the $5 billion dollar fruit and vegetable sanitation market. Most of these companies have longer histories, greater name recognition and more financial resources than we do. GOVERNMENT REGULATION. The only license required for food safety products is a PACA (Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act) License and a State's License issued by the State Department in each state the Company is conducting its business. On December 9, 2003, the Company received its PACA license from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In June 2001, the FDA approved the use of ozone on food products. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. We have full, right, and title to four United States patents related to our ozone products and technology: U.S. Patent Number 5,865,995 issued February 2, 1999 is for the Vortex, a method of crushing gas into water so efficiently that the bubbles are barely visible, allowing for a superior mesh of ozone gas into water (Mass Transfer). This process is most important in the application of ozone. U.S. Patent Number 6,054,046 issued April 25, 2000 is for The Recycle System, a complete ozone system, which incorporates the Vortex, and eliminates the need for an ozone contacting tank, simplifies the use of ozone. As utilized in the Aqua Clean System, The Recycle System allows tap water in and ozone water out, ready for immediate use. 5 U.S. Patent Number 6,361,688 B1 issued March 26, 2002 is for improvements made to the Vortex and Recycle System, allowing for increased amounts of liquid to be treated with ozone gas. In addition, the company has filed two other patent applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office involving certain advancements in ozone application over the past 12 months. We consider patent protection important for our business, particularly with respect to Knock-Out's products. However, we may not have any patent protection for any derivative uses of our products, or for any other products we may later acquire or develop. We also cannot assure that we will be able to obtain foreign patents to protect our products. Litigation may be required to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets or determine the validity and scope of proprietary rights of others. Any action we take to protect our intellectual property rights could be costly and could absorb significant management time and attention. In addition, as a result of any such litigation, we could lose any proprietary rights we have. If any of the foregoing occurs, we may be unable to execute on our business plan and you could lose your investment. RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT. We do not anticipate incurring material research and development costs during the next 12 months. Research and development expense during the past fiscal year also included $500,000 expensed in connection with the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of common stock on May 3, 2004 n the acquisition of Knock-Out Technologies, Ltd. EMPLOYEES. We currently have eleven paid full time employees. We believe that relations with our employees is good. ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY. The Company has an equipment manufacturing facility located at 19125 N. Indian Avenue in North Palm Springs, California, consisting of 40,000 square feet of office and warehouse space used as the Company's offices and as a manufacturing facility. There is a three year lease beginning September 1, 2004, for $32,000 per month. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. EFOODSAFETY.COM, INC. V. KARNEY, ET al. (Case No. INC 046894). The Company filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Riverside County, California on November 5, 2004 against Mr. Karney, AmeriFinancial, Inc., Trac Force, Inc., and Does 1-50 alleging breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, constructive trust, fraud and declaratory relief. The Company alleges that Mr. Karney misappropriated no less than $189,000 from the Company and attempted to cause the Company to enter into invalid contracts with close personal friends without proper authorization. All named defendants have been served. The case is still at the pleading stage and only limited discovery has taken place as certain defendants are contesting jurisdiction and venue. No trial date has been sent. GARCIA V. EFOODSAFETY.COM, INC. (Case No. 50-2004-CA-010352-MB-AH). On November 4, 2004, Edward Garcia and Stephen Baugh, principals of Trac Force, Inc., filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida seeking to enforce an agreement for the Company 6 to acquire Trac Force, Inc. in exchange for shares of the Company's common stock and a seat on the Company's Board. The case is still in the early stages and only limited discovery has taken place. No trial date has been sent. AMERIFINANCIAL, INC. V. EFOODSAFETY.COM, INC. (Case No. H-05-0205). On December 17, 2004, AmeriFinancial, Inc. filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas (Houston Division) against the Company seeking to enforce an agreement for the issuance of shares in exchange for consulting and capital raising services. The Company strongly disputes the claims alleged and denies the validity of the purported agreement. A legal proceeding was instituted in the Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the Yavapi County on July 8, 2005 against eFoodSafety.com, Inc., and Patricia Ross-Gruden, William R. Nelson, Mark Taggatz and Robert Bowker, officers and/or directors, by Richard Speidell, alleging breach of an employment agreement and seeking specific performance, damages and other relief. A similar legal proceeding was instituted in that court on that date against Mark Taggatz, an officer and director of the Company, Aquentium Inc. and other unnamed defendants, by Clarence Karney, alleging breach of an employment agreement and seeking damages and other relief. As previously reported, both Mr. Speidell and Mr. Karney were terminated by the Board of Directors of the registrant on September 27, 2004, as Chief Operating Officer and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, respectively. As also previously reported, the Company instituted a legal proceeding against Mr. Karney and others described in the first paragraph above. The Board of Directors and the individual defendants believe both complaints by Messrs. Speidell and Karney are without any merit whatsoever and intend to defend themselves vigorously. They believe the legal proceedings merely represent the latest attempts by disgruntled former employees to pursue personal grievances, to harass the Company and its officers and directors and to interfere with their devoting time, energy and attention to the business of the Company. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTER TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. None/Not applicable. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

However, we expect to use any future earnings for operations and in the business. TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 2005 Prior to April 2004, we had no active operations. Thus, any comparison of results of operations and financial position compared with the year ended April 30, 2004 and the financial position as at April 30, 2005 are not relevant or meaningful. SALES Our revenues from operations for the year ended April 30, 2005 were $86,374, and was generated from a sale of Ozone Air Clean units and accessories. COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT Our cost of sales for the year ended April 30, 2005 was $41,403, generating a percentage margin on sales of 52.07%. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and Development expenses included $82,342 cash compensation paid to William Nelson, a director, and $522,363 for hardware and parts. Research and development expense also included $500,000 expensed in connection with the issuance of 1,000,000 common shares on May 3, 2005 in the acquisition of Knock-Out Technologies, Ltd. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES A summary of our Selling, General and Administrative costs is as follows: Cash based compensation was paid to our staff of eleven full-time employees, consulting fees for outside directors, legal advisors and marketing consultants. The Company also issued 1,131,632 shares of common stock for expenses of $595,469. Other selling, general and administrative costs include rent, office expenses, and travel expenses. INTEREST EXPENSE 9 Interest expenses of $131,743 were incurred during the year ended April 30, 2005 and relate to interest accrued on outstanding promissory notes payable to related parties in lump-sum, including interest of 5% to 6%, and are due between June 3, 2009 and June 1, 2010. Interest expenses also included $79,607 from $2.0 million in convertible debentures that were sold during the first quarter. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of January 31, 2005, we had working capital deficit of $53,382. As a result of our operating losses during the year ended April 30, 2005, we generated a cash flow deficit of $2,797,687 from operating activities. We used cash flows in connection with investing activities of $230,577 during the year ended April 30, 2005, for the purchase of fixed assets, and the purchase of marketable securities. We met our cash requirements for the year ended April 30, 2005 through loans of $903,000 from shareholders and the sale of convertible debentures of $2,000,000. On July 21, 2004, the Company sold $2.0 million in convertible debentures. The convertible debentures carry an interest rate of 6% per annum, payable quarterly. We paid a consultant 10% of the gross proceeds of $2.0 million ($200,000) as a finder's fee. The debentures are convertible at $0.40 per share and expire July 21, 2007. The purchasers of the debentures also received an A Warrant to purchase an amount of common stock equal to 50% of the number of shares of common stock purchased upon conversion. The A Warrants expire two years from the date of issuance and the exercise price of the A Warrants is $0.80 per share. The purchasers of the debentures also received a B Warrant to purchase an amount of common stock equal to 50% of the number of shares of common stock upon conversion. The B Warrants expire two years from the date of issuance and the exercise price of the B Warrants is $1.00 per share. Our operating revenues may be less than adequate to fund future operations and growth. We expect to continue to meet our cash requirements during the fiscal year ending April 30, 2006 and to fund operations through additional sales of our securities and/or through shareholder loans. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in obtaining any additional financing should it be required. If we cannot secure additional financing when needed, we may be required to cease operations. By adjusting the Company's operations and development to the level of capitalization, management believes it has sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow deficits through the next twelve months. However, if thereafter we are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. Our independent certified public accountants have stated in their report which is included as part of our audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2004 and 2005, that we have suffered recurring losses from operations and have no established source of revenue and those matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, special purpose entities, financing partnerships or guarantees. 10 ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The financial statements of the Company and supplementary data are included beginning immediately preceding the signature page to this report. ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE. None/Not Applicable. ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures for the Company. (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Based upon the evaluations, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to be included in the reports that the Company files and submits pursuant to the Exchange Act. The public accounting firm that audited the financial statements in this annual report has not issued an attestation report on management's assessment of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. (b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Based on the evaluation as of April 30, 2005, there were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting or in any other areas that could significantly affect the Company's internal controls subsequent to the date of the most recent evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. PART III ITEM 9. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS; COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT. The management team consisting of the following individuals is conducting the business of the company: 11 NAME POSITION AGE PATRICIA ROSS-GRUDEN PRESIDENT/CEO/CFO/DIRECTOR 63 ROBERT BOWKER PRESIDENT OF KNOCK-OUT TECHNOLOGIES, LTD/DIRECTOR 55 TIMOTHY MATULA SECRETARY/DIRECTOR 44 JASON SUGARMAN DIRECTOR 44 PATRICIA ROSS-GRUDEN, President/CEO/CFO, and a Director, has extensive transportation and travel experience in operations, training, finance, management, expansion of start-up and growth companies, and government lobbying. Mrs. Gruden has been selected as one of the ten most influential women in the transportation and travel industry and has been honored as one of the 100 most influential women in Arizona. Further, Mrs. Gruden was elected the first woman President of the Chamber of Commerce in Arizona and had been selected to represent Arizona at the White House Conference for Small Business. Ms. Gruden is also the COO of Knock-Out Technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary of eFoodsafety.com, Inc. ROBERT BOWKER, President of Knock-Out Technologies, Ltd. and Director, has an extensive background in herbs, natural supplements and natural healing. Mr. Bowker has been involved with exotic and domestic animals since childhood, thus finding himself challenged with varying diseases and illnesses with these animals. The challenge was to effectively treat the viral, bacterial, and protozoan borne illnesses while doing no harm to the animal. Mr. Bowker began experimenting with an unorthodox approach on humans, using acquired knowledge, intuition, and true passion for the work. Further, having traveled on three continents, Mr. Bowker's proficiency in holistic methods and natural healing properties was also broadened. TIMOTHY MATULA, Secretary and Director, joined Shearson Lehman Brothers as a financial consultant in 1992. In 1994 he joined Prudential Securities and when he left Prudential in 1997, he was Associate Vice President, Investments, Quantum Portfolio Manager. Currently, Mr. Matula is President of Quantum Capital Advisors. JASON SUGARMAN, Director, is President of MKA Capital Group, Inc., a real estate investment company, where he heads the underwriting of new investments. Prior to joining MKA in 2000, Mr. Sugarman co-founded Patriot Homes, a homebuilder with more than $50 million in annual sales. Effective August 11, 2005, Mark Taggatz, President, Chief Executive Officer, and William R. Nelson, a director, resigned their respective offices and positions. Patricia-Ross Gruden was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer and Timothy Matula was appointed Secretary. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT The Company's board of directors does not have an "audit committee financial expert," within the meaning of such phrase under applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, serving on its audit committee. The board of directors believes that all members of its audit committee are financially literate and experienced in business matters, and that one or more members of the audit committee are capable of (i) understanding generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and financial statements, (ii) assessing the general application of GAAP principles in connection with our accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves, (iii) analyzing and evaluating our financial statements, (iv) understanding our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting; and (v) understanding audit committee 12 functions, all of which are attributes of an audit committee financial expert. However, the board of directors believes that there is not any audit committee member who has obtained these attributes through the experience specified in the SEC's definition of "audit committee financial expert." Further, like many small companies, it is difficult for the Company to attract and retain board members who qualify as "audit committee financial experts," and competition for these individuals is significant. The board believes that its current audit committee is able to fulfill its role under SEC regulations despite not having a designated "audit committee financial expert." COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT The Company does not have a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, the Company's executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of its equity securities are not subject to the beneficial ownership reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of that Act. However, although not required, certain of such persons do file beneficial ownership reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. To the best of our knowledge and based solely upon our review of the reports filed and submitted to the Company during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, the Company believes that all reports were timely filed by such persons. CODE OF ETHICS The Company has not yet adopted a code of ethics applicable to it chief executive officer and chief financial officer, but expects to do so during the fiscal year ending April 30, 2006. ITEM 10. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION. During each of the two fiscal years ended April 30, 2004 and 2003, the person who served as Chief Executive Officer received total annual salary and bonus of $19,700 and $0, respectively. From the period of May 1, 2004 through September 26, 2004, the person who served as Chief Executive Officer received $156,598.94 in compensation. Mark Taggatz, who acted as Chief Executive Officer of the Company from September 27, 2004 until August 11, 2005, received $1.00 in compensation. Patricia Ross-Gruden, who served as President during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004, and until September 27, 2004 received $0 and $0, respectively. During the year ended April 30, 2005, no other executive officer received compensation in excess of $100,000. ITEM 11. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.
