AMERICAN MOLD GUARD, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006
Note
1. Organization and Managements Plans
Organization and Business
The principal business of American Mold Guard, Inc. (the Company) is providing structural decontamination and protective coating products and
services, including building diagnostic assessment and inspections, indoor air quality testing, complete mold decontamination, a series of preventive maintenance programs and water intrusion emergency response service. Our products and services are
available in new construction and occupied phases of multi-family, single family and commercial buildings. In December 2007, the Company announced that it had expanded its service offerings to provide a comprehensive approach to indoor environmental
issues throughout the life cycle of a building. The expanded service offering, named Trinity, is an all-inclusive three-in-one service platform involving inspection, correction and protection to manage water related problems that can
cause mold contamination. With this added capability, the Company can provide multi-family and commercial developers, owners and property managers with a single, full-service company to handle their indoor environmental issues. Through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, AMG Scientific, LLC, the Company is striving to develop products and services related to infection control surface treatment to health care facilities and other institutions. The Company has sales representatives located in
several states who sell its structural decontamination and protective coating services throughout the country. The Company also has service centers in three states California, Florida and Texas and it has serviced projects throughout the
country with its mobile crews. The Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, Trust One Termite, Inc. (Trust One), which had provided termite control services, suspended operations in August 2007 due to the housing market slowdown.
Wholly Owned Subsidiary
On
October 1, 2003, the Company created a wholly-owned subsidiary for the purpose of conducting planned franchising activities. The wholly-owned subsidiary is named American Mold Guard Franchise, Inc. The Company has never conducted
any franchising activity and no financial transactions have occurred through American Mold Guard Franchise, Inc. American Mold Guard Franchise, Inc. has been dormant since its establishment in 2003.
Managements Plans
These financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Companys significant operating losses, accumulated deficit
and the uncertainty as to whether the Company will be able to obtain additional financing, raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a net loss of $5.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had working capital of $1.3 million, an accumulated deficit of $23.7 million and stockholders equity of $1.7 million. On July 19, 2007 the Company entered into a Security
Agreement (the Security Agreement) with Calliope Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (Calliope). Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Company issued to Calliope a secured convertible note in the aggregate principal
amount of $2,000,000 and obtained a maximum $2,000,000 revolving credit facility, access to which has been restricted.
In September of
2007, the Company closed its Gulf region restoration operation centers, consolidated the offices of Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer under one person, eliminated various discretionary services and reorganized its sales
and operations organization in an effort to improve the sales and operations effectiveness of the Company. These actions reduced selling, general and administrative expenses by approximately $800,000 in the fourth quarter of 2007 as compared to the
previous quarter. Recently, the Company announced its strategy of actively acquiring and developing intellectual property aimed at developing proprietary products and services in the areas of mold and bacteria decontamination, disinfectants and
various antimicrobial products. The Company is also seeing sales growth driven by the adoption of its Trinity process. As the Company grows sales, it plans to increase its margins and control costs in an effort to reach profitability. Management
plans to raise additional capital in the first half of 2008 to fund ongoing business operations.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-
27
owned subsidiaries, AMG Scientific, LLC since its date of inception (October 12, 2006) and Trust One. All significant inter-company accounts and
transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of less than three months when purchased.
Restricted Cash
As of December 31, 2007, the Company had one certificate of deposit totaling $76,399, including interest, which serves as collateral for the
Companys business travel credit cards.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (as determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market and consist primarily of raw materials.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The Company provides for
depreciation over estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years, using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements and capitalized leased equipment are amortized over the life of the related non-cancelable lease. Repair and
maintenance expenditures that do not significantly add to the value of the property, or prolong its life, are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in the related periods
statement of operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which addresses significant issues
relating to the implementation of SFAS No. 121 and develops a single accounting model, based on the framework established in SFAS No. 121 for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether or not such assets are deemed to be a
business. SFAS No. 144 also modifies the accounting and disclosure rules for discontinued operations. Management did not note any indicators of impairment during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company
makes judgments as to its ability to collect outstanding receivables and provide allowances for the applicable portion of receivables when collection becomes doubtful. Provisions are made based upon a specific review of all significant outstanding
invoices.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial
institutions in excess of federally insured limits. Management, however, believes the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held. Additionally, the
Company has established guidelines regarding diversification of its investments and their maturities, which are designed to maintain safety and liquidity.
The Companys trade receivables are derived from customer revenues from antimicrobial treatment services for mold prevention. The Company makes periodic evaluations of its customers credit worthiness and
the risk with respect to trade receivables is mitigated by the diversification of its customer base. Collateral is not required for trade receivables. The Company maintains an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable and such losses
have historically been within managements expectation.
28
For the years ended 2007 and 2006, one customer accounted for 17.9% and 18.5% of revenues, respectively.
At December 31, 2007, two customers accounted for 11.1% and 10.3% of total receivables, respectively. Given the significant amount of revenues derived from this customer, the loss of this customer or the non-collection of related receivables
could have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition and results of operations.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred
income taxes are recorded for the expected tax consequences in future years of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amount at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax
rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
In July 2006, FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan Interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a companys financial statements. FIN 48 requires companies to determine whether it is more likely than
not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on the recognition, measurement and
classification of income tax uncertainties, along with any related interest and penalties. The Company was subject to the provisions of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, and has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state
jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company has identified its federal tax return and its state tax returns in California, Florida and Louisiana as
major tax jurisdictions, as defined. The periods subject to examination for the Companys federal return are the 2004 through 2006 tax years. The periods subject to examination for the Companys state returns in
California and Florida are years 2003 through 2006 and in Louisiana are years 2004 through 2006. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments
that will result in a material change to its financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to FIN 48, and, as such, the Company did not record a cumulative effect
adjustment related to the adoption of FIN 48. The Companys policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue
is based on contracts for agreed upon fees entered into with customers for the services to be completed and is recognized when the service is completed, the amount of the service and contract value is determinable, and collection is reasonably
assured. The resulting accounts receivable are reported at their principal amounts and adjusted for an estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts, if appropriate.
Service Warranties
The Company provides a general warranty on its mold prevention services
that extends for the entire statute of repose, the period during which, under the various state laws, builders have continuing liability for construction defects. In general, the period of continuing liability is between 5 and 15 years
depending upon the state in which the service has been provided. The warranty covers both property damage and personal injury arising from mold contamination on any surface treated by the Company. The personal injury portion of the warranty is
supported by a $3.0 million pollution liability mold giveback provision under the Companys general liability policy. The Company estimates its exposure to warranty claims based upon historical warranty claim costs and expectations of future
trends. Management reviews these estimates on a regular basis and adjusts the warranty provisions as actual experience differs from historical estimates or other information becomes available. However, the Company does not have, at this time,
sufficient experience to determine if a reserve is required and/or if the coverage under the general liability policy is sufficient should claims be filed against the Company. To date, the Company has not been required to perform under the terms of
its warranty provisions. As a result, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any accruals or provisions associated with future warranty expenditures.
Stock-based Compensation
On
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, or SFAS 123(R), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees
and directors including employee stock options based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes the Companys previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,
or APB 25, for periods beginning in fiscal 2006. In March 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, or SAB 107, relating to SFAS 123(R). The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123(R).
29
The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective application transition method, which
required the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of the Companys 2006 fiscal year.
Upon
adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company has continued to use the Black-Scholes model which was previously used for the Companys pro forma information required under SFAS No. 123. The determination of the fair value of share-based
payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Companys stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to,
expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. Option-pricing models were developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting or hedging
restrictions and are fully transferable. Because the Companys stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value
estimate, in managements opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Companys stock options. Share-based compensation expense, included in selling, general and administrative
expenses, recognized under SFAS 123(R) for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, $123,190 and $125,351, respectively. SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the grant-date using an
option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Companys consolidated statements of operations.
Share-based compensation expense recognized during the current period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is
ultimately expected to vest. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant in order to estimate the amount of share-based awards that will ultimately vest. The forfeiture rate is based on historical rates. Share-based
compensation expense recognized in the Companys consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 includes (i) compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet
vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of SFAS 123 and (ii) compensation expense for the share-based payment awards granted subsequent to December 31,
2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Share-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 is
based on awards ultimately expected to vest and it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from
those estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate forfeitures.
Risk Management
The Company is not exposed to significant credit concentration risk, interest rate or hedging risks. The Companys functional currency is the US
dollar. The Company is not exposed to foreign exchange risk and the Company is not a party to any derivative transactions.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities, accrued salary and wages, accrued interest payable and short term debt approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. Long-term debt also approximates fair value due to managements ability to
borrow at approximately the same rate in the current market.
Per Share Information
The Company presents basic earnings (loss) per share (EPS) and diluted EPS on the face of the statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed
as net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of shares of the Companys common stock, no par value, outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from shares of common stock issuable
through stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities which are exercisable during or after the reporting period. In the event of a net loss, such incremental shares are not included in EPS since their effects are anti-dilutive.
Securities that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future, that were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti-dilutive, aggregate 6,352,410 and 6,437,441 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to a reverse stock split pursuant to which each
share of common stock outstanding before the reverse stock split was converted and exchanged for 0.340124209 new shares of common stock. The reverse stock split was effective as of April 7, 2006.
30
Advertising
All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $6,505 and $69,210 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
FASB issued
SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instrumentsan amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140, to permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded
derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 155 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
September 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 155 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a tentative consensus on Issue No. 06-3, How Sales Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement
(That Is, Gross Versus Net Presentation) (EITF 06-3). EITF 06-3 addresses income statement classification and disclosure requirements of externally-imposed taxes on revenue-producing transactions. EITF 06-3 is effective for periods
beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of EITF 06-3 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
,
which provides guidance on how to measure assets and liabilities that use fair value. SFAS 157 will apply whenever another US GAAP standard
requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. This standard also will require additional disclosures in both annual and quarterly reports. SFAS 157 was to
be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. However, FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, which was issued on February 12, 2008, deferred the effective date to fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact this standard may have on the Companys financial position and results of operations, but management does not believe the impact of the adoption will be
material.
In December 2006, the FASB approved EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements (EITF
00-19-2), which specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial
instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. EITF 00-19-2 also requires additional disclosure regarding the nature of any registration
payment arrangements, alternative settlement methods, and the maximum potential amount of consideration and the current carrying amount of the liability, if any. The guidance in EITF 00-19-2 amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, and FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors
Accounting and Disclosure requirement for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, to include scope exceptions for registration payment arrangements.
EITF 00-19-2 is effective immediately for registration payment arrangements and the financial instruments subject to those arrangements that are entered
into or modified subsequent to the issuance date of this EITF, or for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and interim periods within those fiscal years, for registration payment arrangements entered
into prior to the issuance date of this EITF. The adoption of this pronouncement has not had a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows in fiscal year 2007.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS
159). The statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 will be effective for the Company on
January 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 159. The Company does expect a significant impact of the adoption of SFAS 159.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), Business Combinations. This Statement replaces SFAS 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in
Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also establishes
principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the
goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The
statement is to be applied prospectively for fiscal
31
years beginning on or after December 15, 2008; therefore the Company expects to adopt SFAS 141R for any business combination entered into beginning in
fiscal 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. This
Statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling
interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 is effective as of the beginning of an entitys fiscal year that begins after
December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect that SFAS 160 will have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. Lease Line of Credit
In the second quarter of 2006, the Company opened a secured lease line of credit with Bank of America having a 48 month term with a $1.00 buy-out for related leased assets at the end of the term (the Line of
Credit). During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $650,908 against the Line of Credit. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company paid $43,815 towards the Line of Credit.
In June 2007, the Company made the decision to pay off the Line of Credit in full. During the quarter ended June 30, 2007 the Company paid $572,370
to pay off the Line of Credit.
Note 5. Convertible Notes Payable, net of discount and Revolving Credit Facility
On July 19, 2007 the Company entered into a Security Agreement (the Security Agreement) with Calliope Capital Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (Calliope). Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Company issued to Calliope a Secured Convertible Note in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 and obtained a maximum $2,000,000 revolving credit facility. The term
of the Secured Convertible Note is for three years at an interest rate per annum equal to the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal from time to time plus two percent (2.0%), subject to a floor of 9.0% and a ceiling of 11.0%
The Secured Convertible Note and any and all Revolving Loans are secured by all of the assets of the Company as more fully set forth in
the Security Agreement. Calliope has the right, but not the obligation, at any time to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest on the Secured Convertible Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of
common stock of the Company at a fixed conversion price equal to $1.85 per share. Amortizing payments were due pursuant to the Secured Convertible Note commencing on October 1, 2007, and the first business day of each month thereafter in an
amount equal to $60,606. The principal balance as of December 31, 2007 was $1,818,182.
Pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit
Facility, Calliope may make revolving loans (the Revolving Loans) to the Company from time to time during the term of the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) $2,000,000 minus $250,000
until the Company achieves operating profitability for any two consecutive fiscal quarters or (ii) an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of eligible Company commercial account receivables plus seventy percent (70%) of eligible
Company consumer account receivables minus $250,000. Any Revolving Loans made to the Company will be evidenced by one or more Revolving Loan Notes, and will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate published
in the Wall Street Journal from time to time plus two percent (2%). As of the date of this filing, the Company has not yet received any Revolving Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and Calliope has restricted the Company from accessing the
Revolving Credit Facility until the Companys financial position improves.
The Company has provided Calliope a first lien on all
assets of the Company. The Company will have the option of redeeming any outstanding principal of the Secured Convertible Note by paying to Calliope 130% of such outstanding principal, together with accrued but unpaid interest under the Secured
Convertible Note. Calliope earned a commitment fee in the amount of $140,000 at the time of closing. Calliope also received a warrant to purchase up to 1,137,010 shares of the
32
Companys common stock at a purchase price of $1.93 per share. In addition, the Company paid due diligence, accounting and legal fees to Calliope of
$70,965. The Company also paid cash of $125,000 and issued a warrant valued at $44,860 (see Note 7) to Equity Source Partners LLC for financial advisory fees and non-accountable expenses incurred in connection with the debt financing transaction
with Calliope.
Aggregate financing costs of $380,825 paid in connection with the financing described above have been capitalized as such
in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and are amortized over the estimated life of the respective notes. Amortization of $58,391 for the year ended December 31, 2007, is included in interest expense in the accompanying
consolidated statement of operations.
The Company determined that the Secured Convertible Note satisfied the definition of a conventional
convertible instrument under the guidance provided in EITF 00-19 and EITF 05-02, as the conversion options value may only be realized by the holder by exercising the option and receiving a fixed number of shares. As such, the embedded
conversion option in the Secured Convertible Note qualifies for equity classification under EITF 00-19, qualifies for the scope exception of paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133, and is not bifurcated from the host contract. The Company also determined that
the warrant issued to Calliope qualify for equity classification under the provisions of SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19. In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14, the Company allocated the net proceeds received
in this transaction to each of the Secured Convertible Note and common stock purchase warrant based on their relative estimated fair values. As a result, the Company allocated $1,056,392 to the Secured Convertible Note and $943,608 to the common
stock purchase warrant, which was recorded in additional paid-in-capital. In accordance with the consensus of EITF issues 98-5 and 00-27, management determined that the Secured Convertible Note contained a beneficial conversion feature based on the
effective conversion price after allocating proceeds of the Secured Convertible Note to the common stock purchase warrant, valued at $727,392. The amounts recorded for the common stock purchase warrant and beneficial conversion feature are recorded
as debt discounts and are amortized as interest expense over the term of the Secured Convertible Note. Interest charges associated with the amortization of the debt discount, totaled $389,926 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The April 2005 Warrants are fully vested and entitle the holder thereof to purchase up to 170,062
shares of common stock at any time until April 15, 2008 at a purchase price of $5.88 per share. In connection with the issuance of the April 2005 Warrants, the Company recorded $147,368 of debt discount, which it charged against the face value

were included in units sold by the Company during its initial public offering completed in May 2006 (the IPO) and 230,770 were included in units that were issued on April 26, 2006 to the holders of certain unsecured notes (the
Unsecured Notes). The Class A warrants issued are exercisable beginning May 26, 2006 and expire on April 26, 2011. Each Class A warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of
$9.75 per share. The exercise price may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events.
In May 2006, there were 2,930,770 Class B
warrants issued and outstanding of which 2,700,000 were included in the units sold in the IPO and 230,770 were included in the units that were issued to the holders of the Unsecured Notes. The Class B warrants are identical to the Class A
warrants except that the Class B warrants have an exercise price of $13.00 per share and the Class B warrants may only be redeemable after gross revenues for any previous 12 month period, as confirmed by independent audit, equals or exceeds $20
million.
In connection with the April 26, 2006 issuance of shares of common stock, Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants to
holders of the Unsecured Notes, the Company agreed to : (i) file, on or before May 26, 2007, a registration statement to register for resale the shares of common stock, Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants issued to the holders of
the Unsecured Notes and (ii) have such registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before July 29, 2007. If the Company failed to meet these requirements, the Company would be obligated to pay
monthly liquidated damages in cash to the holders of the Unsecured Notes in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the holders original outstanding principal amount of the Unsecured Notes purchased, per month. The Company filed the
requisite registration statement on July 5, 2007, and the registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 7, 2007, and, accordingly, the Company accrued a liability of $19,500 which was
charged to interest expense in the current quarter. Such amount remains unpaid at December 31, 2007.

The accumulated net operating loss for federal income tax purposes was $22.6 million as of
December 31, 2007. The Company also has state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $16.5 million as of December 31, 2007. The Company has fully offset the net operating loss carry forwards by a valuation allowance of an equal
amount. Federal net operating loss carry forwards of $1.0 million will expire in 2023, $2.8 million will expire in 2024, $3.9 million will expire in 2025 and $8.3 million will expire in 2026. State net operating loss carry forwards will begin to
expire in 2014. The utilization of net loss carry forwards will likely be limited based on past and future issuances of common and preferred stock due to the ownership change provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The net deferred
income tax assets have been fully reserved for as of December 31, 2007, as management determined that it is more likely than not that those assets would be realized. Accordingly, a deferred income tax benefit has not been recorded for any of
the periods presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Litigation
The Company
is currently involved in litigation in the State of Louisiana. On September 5, 2006, a third-party complaint was filed by Lazaro Rodriguez and SmartProperties.Org Construction, LLC (SmartProperties) against us in the primary action
of
Pitrina Messina vs. Lazaro Rodriguez and SmartProperties
, which was filed in the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans, State of Louisiana. The primary complaint filed by Pitrina Messina (Plaintiff Messina) alleges
that Mr. Rodriguez and SmartProperties failed to provide certain promised mold remediation services with respect to certain residential property owned by Pitrina Messina (the Messina Property). In their third party complaint,
Mr. Rodriguez and SmartProperties allege that they contracted with us to perform the promised mold remediation services on the Messina Property and therefore to the extent that Mr. Rodriguez and/or SmartProperties is found liable for any
damages to Plaintiff Messina under the primary complaint, we should be required to pay Mr. Rodriguez and/or SmartProperties such damages. Discovery has concluded in this matter as of year-end 2007. On December 7, 2007 a hearing was
conducted and an order was issued denying in part and granting in part a motion of summary judgment, alternatively motion for partial summary judgment and dismissing various claims against American Mold Guard, Inc. with prejudice. A tentative trial
date has been set for late March 2008. We believe that the third party complaint filed against us by Mr. Rodriguez and SmartProperties is without merit and we intend to defend the litigation vigorously. Further, we do not believe the ultimate
resolution of this matter will have a material effect on our financial statements.
Purchase Agreement
On November 1, 2006 a supply agreement (the Supply Agreement) was entered into between the Company and Coating Systems Laboratories,
Inc., an Arizona corporation (CSLI). Under the Supply Agreement, CSLI agreed to manufacture and provide the antimicrobial, AMG-X40, to the Company on an exclusive basis. The Company had exclusive rights to use, apply,
market, sell, advertise and distribute the AMG-X40 product for a period of five years from the November 1, 2006 effective date. The Supply Agreement could be terminated only upon the occurrence of certain specific events. The
Company had agreed to purchase 100% of its requirement for the AMG-X40 product from CSLI during the term of the Supply Agreement. Additionally, the Company has agreed to purchase from the vendor a minimum aggregate annual amount of AMG-X40
product having an aggregate annual invoice price of at least $240,000 for the first year of the Supply Agreement, $480,000 for the second year of the Supply Agreement, $810,000 for the third year of the Supply Agreement, $1,200,000 for the fourth
year and the succeeding year of the term of the Supply Agreement. Should the Company not meet its annual minimum purchase obligations, the Company would be required to pay CSLI the difference between the minimum purchase obligation for a particular
year and the aggregate annual invoice price for all AMG-X40 product actually purchased by the Company during such year.
During the first
year of the Supply Agreement, the Company purchased from CSLI AMG-X40 product having an aggregate invoice price of $94,120. On October 26, 2007, CSLI invoiced the Company $145,880, representing the balance due on the Supply Agreements
first year minimum purchase obligation.
The Company and CSLI entered into an agreement to terminate the supply agreement effective
October 27, 2007. Under the terms of the termination agreement the Company will pay CSLI $145,880 payable in twelve monthly installments of $12,156.67 with the first payment on December 31, 2007 and the last payment on November 1,
2008.
The Company and CSLI entered into a new supply agreement on January 29, 2008. The new supply agreement is non-exclusive and
contains no minimum purchases of product. Either party may terminate the agreement with ninety day notice.
37
Employment Agreements
On July 1, 2004, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its current chief executive officer. On May 15, 2006 the Company entered into an employment agreement with its chief financial officer.
Each of the agreements have a term of five years and automatically renew for successive three-year terms unless either party to the agreement gives written notice, 90 days prior to the end of the agreement, not to renew the agreement. Under each
employment agreement, if the Company terminates the employment of the officer for any reason other than death, disability, or justifiable cause (defined to include any willful breach by the executive of his duties under the agreement or
the executives conviction of any crime involving the property of the company or any crime constituting a felony), the executive would be entitled to a severance payment of 24 months of the then current monthly base salary plus target bonus as
in effect on the last day of his employment and reimbursement for the cost of maintaining his medical and dental insurance for 24 months. In the event of a termination in connection with a change of control or by the executive for
good reason (defined to include a material reduction of the executives base salary, duties and authority of position), then the executive is entitled to a lump sum payment equal to his unpaid, annualized base salary for the remainder of
the year in which the termination occurs and a lump sum payment equal to three times his highest annual compensation (salary plus bonus) for any of the three calendar years immediately preceding the date of termination.
The current annual base salary of the chief executive officer is $225,000 and the current annual base salary of the chief financial officer is $180,000
and their salaries are subject to review by the board of directors of the Company to determine whether the executive should receive a salary increase.
Note 10. Subsequent events
On January 11, 2008, the Company entered into a three year consulting agreement with PR
Financial Marketing, LLC (PR Financial Marketing) to provide public relations and other consulting services to the Company aimed at increasing investor awareness. The Company can terminate the agreement with ninety (90) days prior
written notice. In consideration for the services to be rendered by PR Financial Marketing to the Company, the Company agreed to pay PR Financial Marketing a monthly fee of $6,500 and further agreed to issue to PR Financial Marketing an option to
purchase 200,000 shares of the Companys common stock and having an exercise price of $0.26 per share. The option issued to PR Financial Marketing expires five (5) years after the date of its issuance.
