EFOODSAFETY.COM, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 2008 AND 2007
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of accounting policies for eFoodSafety.com, Inc. & Subsidiaries is presented to assist in understanding the Company's consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Interim Financial Statements
The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the financial position and results of operations for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which can be expected for full years.
Organization and Basis of Presentation
The Company was incorporated in Nevada on October 28, 1996 as DJH International, Inc. to market products through the Internet. On October 16, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of reorganization with Global Procurement Systems, Inc. ("GPS") whereby the Company acquired GPS. This business combination was accounted for as a reverse merger with GPS being the surviving entity for financial reporting purposes. As a result of the acquisition, the Company issued 37,620,000 shares of common stock in exchange for the outstanding shares of GPS and changed its name to eFoodSafety.com, Inc.
On October 29, 2003, the Company issued 1,500,000 restricted shares of common stock to acquire Ozone Safe Food, Inc. As of October 29, 2003, Ozone Safe Food, Inc. was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On August 24, 2005, the Company sold Ozone Safe Food, Inc.
In May 2004, the Company issued 1,000,000 restricted shares of common stock to acquire Knock-Out Technologies, Ltd. ("Knock-Out") as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Knock-Out is the developer of a variety of products based on a proprietary blend of organic, non-toxic and food-based substances.
On August 31, 2005, the Company issued 10,000,000 restricted shares of common stock to acquire MedElite, Inc. as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. MedElite owns and distributes clinically proven products to physicians who then prescribe the products for their patients. It is the owner of the Talsyn(TM) product line.
In November 2006, the Company formed Cinnergen, Inc., which owns and manufactures Cinnergen(TM), a non-prescription liquid whole food nutritional supplement that promotes healthy glucose metabolism.
In November 2006, the Company formed PurEffect, Inc. for its PurEffect(TM) 4-step anti-acne formula.
In July 2007, the Company formed I-Boost, Inc. which owns and manufactures the Immune Boost Bar(TM), a food bar designed to improve the immune system.
Nature of Business
The Company was organized as a vehicle to provide methods and products to ensure
the safety of fruits and vegetables being marketed worldwide. With the sale of
Ozone Safe Food, Inc. the Company changed direction to become a company
dedicated to improving food and health conditions around the world through its
innovative technologies.
The Company's Knock-Out Technologies, Ltd. subsidiary has developed an
environmentally safe sporicidal product formulated entirely of food-grade
components that eradicates anthrax and a germicidal product, Big 6 Plus - EPA
Reg. No. 82723-I that kills six major bacteria: E-coli, Listeria, Pseudomonas,
Salmonella, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus, Avian Influenza and Black Mold.
The sporicidal product has completed its final efficacy laboratory study
requisite for EPA registration. The Company's MedElite, Inc, subsidiary
distributes clinically proven products to physicians who then prescribe the
products for their patients. It is the exclusive U.S. and worldwide distributor
of the Talsyn(TM)-CI/bid Scar Cream that has been clinically proven to
facilitate and improve the appearance, redness and strength of scars. The
Company is the owner of Cinnergen(TM), a clinically researched, non-prescription
liquid whole food nutritional supplement that promotes healthy glucose
metabolism; Cinnechol(TM), a multi-faceted nutritional supplement specifically
designed to naturally promote reduction in total cholesterol levels without
causing any side effects, as well as overall cardiovascular health; and PurEffect(TM), a 4-step anti-acne formula.
Knock-Out also has completed its product formulations on what it calls the
"Total Solution" to the potential Bird Flu pandemic. The Citroxin(TM)
formulation has proven in independent laboratory testing to eliminate the H9N2
virus, which is the surrogate organism used in all laboratory testing for the
Bird Flu, on both hard and porous surfaces. The Citroxin(TM) formulation can be
sprayed on bird cages and hen houses without its being harmful to animals or
humans in surrounding areas if ingested. The EPA has issued Registration No.
82723-1 for the Big 6 Plus Germicidal product, currently marketed under then
name "Citroxin."
Humans who have contracted the H5N1 virus, commonly known as Bird Flu, can rely
on the Citroxin O2 formulation, an ingestible product that the Company believes
will prove to have dramatic effects on the Bird Flu virus. Clinical trials are
currently ongoing on the Influenza Viruses A and B, but testimonials from humans
who have taken the product with influenza-like symptoms indicate very promising
results.
The Citroxin(TM) formulation for the Bird Flu virus will undergo testing on live
subjects in Thailand, a region that has been affected by the Bird Flu virus,
after protocol testing on a wide range of infectious diseases. The Citroxin(TM)
formulation tests will be conducted by the National Center for Genetic
Engineering and Biotechnology, a branch of the National Science and Technology
Development Agency (NSTDA) located in the greater Bangkok metropolitan area. The
NSTDA was established in 1991 by the Royal Government of Thailand and officially
commenced its operation in 1992. The establishment of NSTDA, unlike other public
science and technology organizations in Thailand, was unique as it was aimed to
"be the Agency with a high degree of autonomy and mobility unbound by the normal
rules, procedures, and regulations of governmental bureaucracy" in order to
"conduct, support, coordinate, and promote efforts in scientific and
technological development between the public and private sectors towards maximal
benefit for national development." Since its establishment, NSTDA has served as
the hub where leading scientists and experts meet and work to tackle scientific
and technological issues of imminent concern to both national and international
communities.
The Company's MedElite, Inc. subsidiary distributes clinically proven products
to physicians who then prescribe the products for their patients. It is the
owner of the Talsyn(TM)-CI/bid Scar Cream, a topical cream used for the
management of keloids (raised, reddish scars that develop at the site of an
injury), hypertrophic scars (a more common scar similar to keloids), erythema
multiforme (a skin disorder resulting from an allergic reaction), and surgical
incisions. Talsyn(TM)-CI has been clinically shown to improve both the
appearance and condition of existing scars.
The Company's Cinnergen, Inc. subsidiary owns Cinnergen(TM), a non- prescription
liquid whole food nutritional supplement that promotes healthy glucose
metabolism. Cinnergen(TM) provides vital nutrients essential for metabolizing
and normalizing blood sugar. Cinnergen(TM) has been clinically proven in a
double blind placebo controlled study to decrease the symptoms commonly
associated with elevated blood sugar. Over half of the participants were able to
eliminate their need for oral diabetic medications within 90 days.
The Company's I-Boost, Inc. subsidiary owns the Immune Boost Bar(TM) -
eFoodSafety.com's first product intended for the functional food market. The
Immune Boost Bar(TM) is designed to enhance overall immune function and help
increase resistance to common viruses. It helps protect overall health by
providing a blend of natural citrus oils, clinically proven anti-viral vitamins
and a synergistic blend of minerals and electrolytes to maximize the health
benefits of your immune system.
The Company's PurEffect, Inc. subsidiary is the owner of PurEffect(TM), a 4-step
anti-acne skin care treatment system designed to address the needs of people
suffering from acne. Results of a recent clinical study conducted by an
FDA-certified research facility reported that 94% of program participants
preferred the results of the product's 4-step treatment program when compared to
traditional 3-step treatment programs.
6
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.
Pervasiveness of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Business Condition
These accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As of January 31, 2008, the Company has accumulated operating losses of $2,726,575 for the nine months then ended. The continuation of the Company is dependent upon the continuing financial support of directors and stockholders as well as becoming profitable.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements for the period ended January 31, 2008 include the accounts of eFoodSafety.com, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Knock-Out Technologies, Ltd., MedElite, Inc, Cinnergen, Inc. and I-Boost, Inc., Knock-Out Technologies, Ltd. was acquired by the Company in May 2004. MedElite, Inc. was acquired by the Company on August 31, 2005. Cinnergen, Inc. was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary on November 27, 2006, and I-Boost, Inc. was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary July 2007.
All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Revenue Recognition
The Company reports revenues on a net basis. Revenues are from net gross sales of Cinnergen(TM), predominately, as well as MedElite and I-Boost. and Talsyn(TM).
Concentration of Risk
As of January 31, 2008, the majority of the Company's revenues are from the sale of Cinnergen(TM). The loss of this product would have an adverse effect on the Company's operations.
Depreciation
Office furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the related assets as follows:
Furniture & Fixtures 5-10 years, Equipment 5-7 years, Computers 3-5 years, Web Site Hardware 3-5 years.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations; betterments are capitalized. The cost of property sold or otherwise disposed of and the accumulated depreciation thereon are eliminated from the property and related accumulated depreciation accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income.
Total depreciation expense for the period ended January 31, 2008 was $4,135.
7
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic loss per share has been computed by dividing the loss for the year applicable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the years. There were no common equivalent shares outstanding at January 31, 2008 and 2007.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with one financial institution, in the form of demand deposits.
Comprehensive Income
The Company recognizes as a component of equity unrealized gains or losses on securities.
Investment in Marketable Securities
The Company on May 3, 2007 received as a capital contribution from a shareholder 1,000,000 shares of a publicly traded Company. The shares were valued at market on that date of $.11 per share. During the six month ended January 31, 2008 the Company sold the shares realizing a loss of $84,152.
On October 11, 2007, the Company purchased on the open market 3,000,000 shares of a publicly traded company valued at market at $.03 per share. At January 31, 2008, the Company had sold 2,360,000 recognizing a gain of $463. At January 31, 2008 the market price of the stock was $.04 and the Company has recognized their remaining shares held of 640,000 shares at market of $25,600 in marketable securities on the balance sheet. The Company has also recognized an unrealized gain on securities included in other comprehensive income, on the difference between cost of $.03 per share and market of $.04 per share on the remaining shares held of 640,000 or $6,400.

NOTE 2-INCOME TAXES
As of April 30, 2007, the Company had a net operating loss carry-forward for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $19,000,000 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2025 Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements, because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carry-forwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carry-forwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
NOTE 3–ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company recognizes a receivable on sales of its Cinnergen(TM) product which commenced in the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year. The Company’s experience has been that all receivable have been collected and therefore a reserve for doubtful accounts has not been established.
NOTE 4-INVENTORY
The Company values its inventory, finished product of the Cinnergen(TM) product under the fifo method, valued at lower of cost or market.

On August 31, 2005, the Company acquired MedElite, Inc. from Dr. Richard Goldfarb in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, plus potential bonuses of restricted shares if certain sales/revenue benchmarks are achieved.

The shares were value at $.17 per share, which was the market value of the stock on the date of the acquisition. In the acquisition, the Company acquired net assets of $831. The Company recognized goodwill of $1,699,169 in connection with the acquisition, which was subsequently written off to expense.

NOTE 11-INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board SFAS No., 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer amortize goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually. In addition, SFAS 142 requires that the Company identify reporting units for the purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, reassess the useful lives of other existing recognized intangible assets, and cease amortization of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life should be tested for impairment in accordance with the guidance in SFAS 142.

On December 20, 2006, the Company acquired U.S. Trademark Reg. No. 2,434,013 for the mark "Immune Boost". The Company has determined that the trademark has a useful life of fifteen years and is being amortized over that useful like.
On November 22, 2006, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Cinnergen, Inc. acquired the product rights of Cinnergen(TM) from NutraLab, Inc. In exchange for the product rights, the Company paid $100,000 and issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $170,000 to NutraLab, Inc. As part of the purchase agreement, the Company also assumed liabilities of NutraLab, Inc. of $955,826 that was offset by liabilities of the Company of $63,801 that was due to NutraLab, Inc. The Company also agreed to make additional payments totaling $175,000 to NutraLab, Inc. The total purchase price of the product rights was $1,337,025. The Company then negotiated the payables that it assumed, resulting in a reduction of the liabilities of $480,000. The aforementioned product rights were subsequently reduced representing the forgiveness of debt, to $857,025. The Company has determined that the product rights have an indefinite useful life.
The estimated amortization of the trademark for the next five years is as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION AND RISK FACTORS
Certain statements in this quarterly report constitute "forward-looking statements." 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 weaknesses 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 health and nutriceutical products.
In addition to the other information contained in this 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.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL. The success of the Company is largely dependent upon the continued contributions of its key management personnel. 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.
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.
INTENSE COMPETITION IN THE HEALTH INDUSTRIES. There is intense competition among providers, both individuals and entities, of various technologies to improve 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 trading activity are limited and sporadic. As a result, our shareholders may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations concerning the market price 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 or 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.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2008 AND 2007
SALES
Our revenues from operations for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008 were $309,197 and $958,549, respectively. Our revenues from operations for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008 were $82,930 and $781,688. The increase in our revenues in the second quarter was due to our sales of Cinnergen and MedElite, Inc. as well as our decision to be a manufacturer as opposed to a distributor as in the previous year.
11
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008, we incurred research and development expenses of $8,381 and $400,650, respectively. Most of these expenses were from our two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Knock-Out Technologies and MedElite, Inc. For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2007, we incurred research and development expenses of $49,051 and $105,870, respectively.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
A summary of our Selling, General and Administrative costs is as follows:
During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008, the Company incurred sales and marketing expense of $28,455 and $125,487, respectively, compared to sales and marketing expense of $54,387 and $1,040,656 during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008. The decrease in sales and marketing expense is primarily due to the Company shifting to a manufacturer and not incurring payment made pursuant to a distribution agreement in the previous year.
Cash and stock compensation were paid for consulting fees, for outside directors, legal advisors and marketing consultants. The Company incurred $898,717 for the three months ended January 31, 2008 and $2,383,627 for the nine months. Amounts in 2007 were $557,000 and $1,601,000. The reason for the increase is higher stock issuances for services.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of January 31, 2008, we had a positive current ratio of $3,350,597. During the nine months ended January 31, 2008, we used cash of $1,070,492 from operating activities and were provided cash flows in connection with financing activities of $1,134,463 during the nine months ended January 31, 2008.
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, 2008 and to fund operations through increased product sales, 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, 2007 and 2006, 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.
ITEM 3. 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 quarter ended January 31, 2008, 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.
12
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during the Company's last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
