American Mold Guard, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

March 31, 2007

Note 1. Organization and Nature of Operations

Organization and Business

The principal business of American Mold Guard, Inc. (the “Company”) is antimicrobial surface treatment providing mold prevention services to the residential home building industry and antimicrobial infection control services to healthcare facilities and other institutions. The Company focuses its mold prevention effort on single and multi-family residential new construction. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, AMG Scientific, LLC, the Company offers its infection control surface treatment to health care facilities and other institutions. Currently, the Company operates 16 service centers in five states – California, Florida, Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Trust One Termite, Inc. (“Trust One”), the Company also provides termite control services.

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.” Since that time the Company has not conducted any franchising activity through American Mold Guard Franchise, Inc. and no financial transactions have occurred. American Mold Guard Franchise Inc. has been dormant since its establishment in 2003.

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2007 and for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are unaudited and do not include all information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, which in the opinion of management are necessary in order to make the condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2006 audited financial statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.

Management’s Plan

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 Company’s historical financial performance, its current financial condition and the uncertainty as to whether the Company will be able to obtain additional financing, raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company realized revenue gains for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and the Company incurred a net loss of $1.2 million during that same period and as of March 31, 2007.For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company had working capital of $3.2 million, an accumulated deficit of $19.2 million and stockholders’ equity of $4.3 million. The Company realized revenue gains for the year ended December 31, 2006 and incurred a net loss of $7.4 million for the year and as of December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had working capital of $4.3 million, an accumulated deficit of $17.9 million and stockholders’ equity of $5.5 million.

The Company’s top financial priorities for 2007 are to drive revenue growth and increase gross margins while holding flat or driving down selling, general and administrative costs as compared to the second half of 2006. Management believes that execution of this plan will provide sufficient operating cash in 2007. Significant orders in the Company’s infection control business would necessitate increased capital to fund company growth, and the Company is prepared to seek capital as its business develops. Management is also prepared to seek additional sources of funding should there be a delay in the rate of mold prevention sales growth. There is no assurance that such additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to the Company if at all.

Note 2. Summary of Critical 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-owned subsidiaries, AMG Scientific, LLC since its date of inception (October 12, 2006) and Trust One, since the date of its acquisition (February 1, 2005). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

Table of Contents

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 six months when purchased.

Restricted Cash

As of March 31, 2007, the Company has two certificates of deposit totaling $761,014, including interest, which serve as collateral for credit balances created under the Company’s lease line of credit (see Note 6) and business credit card.

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 period’s 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 three months ended March 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 Company’s trade receivables are derived from customer revenues from antimicrobial treatment services for mold prevention. The Company makes periodic evaluations of its customer’s credit worthiness and the risk with respect to trade receivables is migrated 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 management’s expectation.

Table of Contents

For the three months ended, March 31, 2007 and 2006, one customer accounted for 11.9% and 26.9% of revenues, respectively. As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, one customer accounted for approximately 11.2% and 18.5%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 Company’s 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 Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s 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 is 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 and Louisiana as “major” tax jurisdictions, as defined. The periods subject to examination for the Company’s federal return are the 2003 through 2006 tax years. The periods subject to examination for the Company’s state returns in California are years 2002 through 2006 and in Louisiana are years 2005 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. In addition, the Company did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of FIN 48. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes.

Comprehensive Income

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” which establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement. Comprehensive income, as defined, includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. Examples of items to be included in comprehensive income, which are excluded from net income, include foreign currency translation adjustments, minimum pension liability adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. The Company did not have any items of other comprehensive income as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 or during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

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 Company’s 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 under FAS123R

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 Company’s 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).

The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective application transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options.

There were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2007. Share-based compensation expense, included in selling, general and administrative expenses, recognized under SFAS 123(R) for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $32,765 and $33,407, 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 Company’s 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 Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 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, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). As share-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Pre-vesting forfeitures were estimated to be approximately 9.6% and 0% in the first quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively, based on historical experience.

Risk Management

The Company is not exposed to significant credit concentration risk, interest rate or hedging risks. The Company’s 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.

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 Company’s 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

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year’s financial information to conform to the current year presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an 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 Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2006, 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 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this standard may have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations, but do not believe the impact of the adoption will be material.

In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 was issued in order to eliminate the diversity of practice in how public companies quantify misstatements of financial statements, including misstatements that were not material to prior years’ financial statements. The Company initially applied the provisions of SAB 108 in connection with the preparation of our annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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 July 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 159.

Note 4. Capitalization

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.

Litigation

The Company is currently involved in litigation in the State of Louisiana. The complainant in the litigation (the “Complainant”) has alleged that certain property owned by the Complainant did not receive certain agreed upon mold remediation services from the named defendant (the “Defendant”). The Defendant has in turn brought an action against the Company alleging that the Defendant subcontracted the Company to perform the mold remediation services that are the subject of Complainant’s complaint, and therefore if Defendant is found liable to Complainant, then the Company should be liable to Defendant. This lawsuit is considered to be in its preliminary stages, and further, the Company believes that the lawsuit is without merit.

Purchase Agreement

On November 1, 2006 a supply agreement was entered into between the Company and a vendor. Under the agreement, the vendor will manufacture and provide the antimicrobial, AMG-X40, to the Company on an exclusive basis. The Company has 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 agreement may be terminated at any time subject to certain conditions. The Company has agreed to purchase 100% of its requirement for antimicrobial AMG-X40 from the vendor during the term of the agreement. The Company has agreed to purchase from the vendor an aggregate annual invoice price of at least $240,000 for the first year, $480,000 for the second year, $810,000 for the third year, $1,200,000 for the fourth year and the succeeding year of the term. Should the Company’s purchases not meet minimums, as defined above; the Company will pay the vendor the difference between actual total purchases and the minimums for each year no later than thirty days after the end of each year.

Note 10. Subsequent events

On April 27, 2007, the Company issued warrants to two persons in connection with the payment for services received by the Company from such persons for infection control studies. The warrants entitle the holders thereof to purchase up to an aggregate of 40,000 shares of common stock at any time until April 27, 2010, at a purchase price of $2.16 per share.

On April 30, 2007, Dr. Asif Ali resigned as President of AMG Scientific, LLC to pursue other interests associated with the active practice of medicine.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND SAFE HARBOR

The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of operations for our quarter ended March 31, 2007. As used herein, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” means American Mold Guard, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary.

This Form 10-QSB includes “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding, among other things, statements relating to goals, plans and projections regarding our s financial position, results of operations, market position, product and service development and market strategy. These statements may be identified by the fact that they use words or phrases such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,” “projects,” “targets,” “will likely result,” “will continue,” “may,” “could” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including factors that could delay, divert or change any of them, and could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from current expectations. These factors include, among other things, competitive product and service development, future broad market acceptance of mold and hospital acquired infection prevention services, difficulties in raising additional capital in the future, difficulties and delays in establishing the “Mold Guard” brand, the impact of the absence of significant proprietary technology underlying our services, a continued and long-term dependence on a limited number of customers, changes to the inventory levels of our raw materials suppliers, the impact of a continued absence of exclusive or long-term commitments from our customers, changes in the anticipated size or trends of the markets in which we compete, judicial decisions and governmental laws and regulations, and changes in general economic conditions in the markets in which we may compete. In addition, these statements constitute our cautionary statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider the following to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the document in which they are made. We disclaim any obligation or undertaking to provide any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which the forward-looking statement is based. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-QSB should be evaluated together with the many uncertainties that affect our business, particularly those mentioned under the section entitled “Factors That May Affect Future Results” below and our periodic reporting on Form 8-K (if any), which we incorporate by reference.

GENERAL OVERVIEW

We provide antimicrobial surface treatment services to builders of single and multi-family homes and to health care facilities and other large institutions. To date, we have provided our service to over 650 national and regional single and multi-family home builders through 16 service centers located in California, Florida, Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana. Our clients include national home builders such as Lennar Corporation, DR Horton, Inc. and Centex Corporation, regional home builders such as Issa Homes, Inc., and Lenox Homes and multi-family home builders such as The Hanover Company, Bosa Development and Opus West Construction, Inc.

Although our business continues to grow, we continue to lose money on an operating and cash flow basis. One of the reasons that we have yet to be cash flow positive and profitable is because we continue to invest in our business by expanding our sales and marketing capability while also opening new regions and service centers. Additionally, our costs of operating as a public company have increased and our sales were affected by the decline in the rate of growth of the new home construction industry in 2006.

Our strategy is to continue to grow sales and reach operating profitability by being the leader in anti microbial surface treatments. To accomplish this goal we plan to continue to enter new regions and establish new service centers throughout the country for our mold prevention services. We also plan to assist large organizations, institutions and government facility managers in combating the occurrence of harmful microbes on interior surfaces. Through the formation of our wholly-owned subsidiary, AMG Scientific, LLC, we intend to broaden our available market for treating interior surfaces for the purpose of providing infection control. The challenge that we face in our infection control business is timely adoption of our infection control treatment application by large institutions and balancing our goals of achieving profitability. We intend to utilize our existing service center capabilities to deploy our surface interior treatment services.

Where we open new service centers and how many we will open will depend on a number of factors, including existing customer demand, the strength of the new housing market in a particular region, the extent to which mold may or may not be a problem in a particular region, the demand for infection control interior surface treatment and the availability of capital and other opportunities. In our experience, a new service center usually does not become cash flow positive until it has been operating for at least eight months and it does not become profitable until it has been operating for approximately one year. As a result, an aggressive expansion program would adversely affect our financial performance. On the other hand, we believe that an aggressive expansion policy would enable us to achieve our goal of capturing a larger market share relatively

quickly in advance of our existing and potential competitors. We believe that an overall prevailing challenge for us presently is balancing our goals of achieving profitability as soon as possible and capturing market share.

Our future financial condition and operating performance may be affected by several industry trends. The major trends that we believe will have a positive impact on our business are the demand for services relating to mold prevention and infection control interior surface treatment. In addition, we believe public awareness of health risk associated with mold contamination, particularly in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma, the growth in mold-related insurance claims and litigation and the high cost of mold remediation and public awareness of the dangers of hospital acquired infections will contribute to our growth. On the other hand, higher interest rates, higher building costs, increasing levels of inventory in the housing construction industry, the general decline in the rate of growth of the new home construction industry and delays in health care facilities adopting our infection control interior surface treatment services could retard our growth. While we may be negatively impacted by these trends, we believe we will be able to manage these challenges through favorable pricing conditions in strategic markets and through continued efforts to control costs.

Lack of sufficient capital prior to our IPO had prevented us from aggressively marketing our services. Marketing is an important part of our business plan because customers need to be persuaded to make our mold prevention and infection control surface treatment services standard line items in their budgets. The lack of capital available to us prior to our IPO had a negative gross margin impact on our service operations in the areas of raw material cost, labor cost and labor productivity. The additional capital provided through our IPO has allowed us to implement operational improvement programs that have led to higher gross margins. We expect that as our sales grow, our gross margins will also expand.

We measure our business using both financial and other operating metrics. The financial metrics include revenue, gross margin, operating expenses and income from continuing operations. The operating metrics include new sales order activity, service schedule, material usage and crew productivity.

New Sales Activity. With this metric we measure the level of new customer commitments in terms of new clients and dollar value of sales. We use this metric to gauge the effectiveness of our sales efforts. The data is gathered by sales representatives, by region and by month. We monitor new sales activity between project type: (single-family versus multi-family). We also analyze new sales based on regional builders’ and national builders’ activity.

Service Schedule. We utilize this data to evaluate the demand for services in each service center or region. This measurement allows us to identify unused service capacity and to shift capacity, when necessary, to service centers with greater demand.

Material Usage. We use this metric to gauge the relative usage of material in each service center and region. The material usage rate for soda can vary depending on the amount of mold contamination on the wood surfaces required to be removed, the relative humidity of the region and the proficiency of the crews. We monitor the material usage rate in order to help identify service centers that may need operational improvements or training to decrease their relative cost of service.

Crew Productivity. This measure focuses on our cost of service. We have planning standards for each region that we use to plan crew labor requirements. Measuring productivity (how many square feet of space are treated in a day) allows us to analyze the effectiveness of our labor force and crew leaders. Anticipated productivity by project also is a determining factor in project pricing. Again, the productivity levels vary depending on the type of project (single-family versus multi-family versus type of health care facility and other institutions), the climate conditions, the training level and the experience of the crew and the amount of contamination to be removed from the project.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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. We do not require collateral on our accounts receivable.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We have adopted 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. We did not note any indicators of impairment during the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

Table of Contents

Allowances for Doubtful Accounts

We make judgments as to our 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. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $53,241 at March 31, 2007.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS Statement 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.

Stock-based Compensation

On January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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 our 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). We have applied the provisions of SAB 107 in our adoption of SFAS 123(R).

We adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective application transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of the 2006 year. Share-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $32,765 and $33,407, 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 our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we accounted for share-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25, as allowed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, or SFAS 123. Under the intrinsic value method, no share-based compensation expense related to stock options had been recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Operations because the exercise price of our stock options granted to employees and directors equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock at the grant-date.

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 our consolidated statement of operations 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). As share-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures.

Revenues

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007 decreased to $2,102,318 compared to $2,761,654 during the same period last year. The 24% decrease in revenue is attributable to the housing downturn in California and a slowdown in the restoration business in the Gulf region.

Revenue by region for the three months ended March 31, 2007 versus the three months ended March 31, 2006 is summarized below:

Revenue in the California region decreased $332,920 or 24.9% in the first quarter of 2007 versus the same period for 2006. The overall decrease is due to the new construction slow down in California as builders reduced new housing starts in an effort to reduce their inventory.

Revenue in the Florida region increased $109,373 or 27.1%, in the first quarter of 2007 versus the same period of 2006. The increase is attributable to the expansion of our services throughout the state despite the current construction slow down.

Revenue in the Gulf region decreased $527,958 or 66.1% in the first quarter of 2007 versus the same period of 2006. The decrease is primarily attributable to the lower level of consumer driven restoration projects due to money flow delays and homeowner indecisiveness. As a result, we have positioned our Gulf region sales force to focus on new construction projects.

Revenue in the Midwest region increased $145,700 or 100% in the first quarter 2007 versus the same period of 2006. The Midwest region was established in the third quarter of 2006 to capture the market opportunity associated with new housing starts in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Austin, Texas.

Other region revenue comprises projects serviced outside of existing primary regions, where we have service centers. Other revenue decreased $53,531 or 24.4%, in the first quarter of 2007 versus the same period for 2006. Our National multi-family sales team also targets project opportunities throughout the United States. In the first quarter of 2007, projects were completed in Massachusetts and Virginia where we currently do not have service centers.

We also analyze revenue based on type of construction treated. National builder projects decreased from $727,000 to $533,587 during the first quarter of 2007, a decrease of 27% compared to the same period in 2006. Single family construction decreased from $1,465,700 to $1,401,911 during the first quarter of 2007, a decrease of 4% from the same quarter in 2006. Service to multi-family construction increased from $568,954 to $826,156, an increase of 45% for the first quarter of 2007 versus the first quarter of 2006.

$1,597,513

   57.9 %   $ 1,071,612    50.9 %   $ 525,901

Cost of revenue includes the material, labor and other costs directly related to providing our services, including the depreciation expense, relating to equipment used to provide our services. Cost of revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 totaled $1,071,612 a decrease of 32.9 % compared to the cost of revenue for the period ended March 31, 2006. The decrease was a result of improved labor productivity and an overall decrease in raw material costs due to improved pricing and optimized usage.

Raw material costs have decreased as a percentage of revenue from 14% in the first quarter of 2006 to 10.2% for the same time period in 2007. This decrease is attributable to an overall material cost price reduction which was implemented in the third quarter of 2006 as well as optimized material usage.

Direct labor cost as a percentage of revenue decreased from 30.6% in the first quarter of 2006 to 25.5% in the same period in 2007. The decrease is primarily a result of higher labor utilization through improved job scheduling and the use of productivity tools such as new sprayers, box trucks and improved soda pot performance.

Other costs of revenue include costs associated with fuel, service vehicle rental, equipment rental, equipment depreciation, direct supplies and other costs directly associated with the services we provide. Other direct costs have increased as a percentage of revenue from 11% in the first quarter of 2006 to 15.2% for the same time period in 2007. The increase is primarily a result of the fixed costs for equipment with lower quarterly revenue.

Selling, general and administrative costs include corporate and regional overhead such as compensation and benefits for sales, administrative and executive personnel, rent, insurance, professional fees, travel and office related expenses. The increase from the first quarter of 2006 to the first quarter of 2007 was $762,069. The increase is primarily attributable to investments in region, service center and corporate infrastructure which increased $538,415 or 73%, regional and brand marketing which decreased $153,057 or 45%, and the added cost of being a public company which increased $148,546 or 100%. The investment in region, service center and corporate infrastructure was driven by the addition of five new service centers and the Midwest region as well as key management hires such as a CFO, Human Resources Director, Marketing Director and Director of IT. The investment in regional and brand marketing increased in support of trade shows, marketing materials to support the sales staff, branding of company equipment and our investment in Gulf region advertising after Hurricane Katrina. As a result of being a public company we experienced an increase in legal and accounting costs. Further as a result of being a public company, we began incurring costs associated with compensating our board of directors, establishing an investor relations program and meeting listing and filing fee obligations. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative costs increased from 56.6% in the first three months of 2006 to 110.7% for the same period in 2007.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since inception, we have funded our operations from internally generated funds, the proceeds from the sale of debt and equity securities and payment of obligations with our common stock. As of March 31, 2007, our working capital was $3.2 million, compared to $4.4 million as of December 31, 2006. The primary reason for this decrease is due to the net operating loss for the first quarter of 2007.

Our net loss was $1,246,651 and $1,132,729 during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The loss from operations increased from $400,164 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $1,295,668 due to lower revenue and higher selling, general and administrative expense. Interest expense in the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $728,697 as compared to interest income of $49,998 in the three months ended March 31, 2007. The primary reason for this change is due to the receipt of IPO proceeds which were used to retire our debt.

Changes in Working Capital between December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007

During the three months ended March 31, 2007, our working capital decreased from $4,379,463 as of December 31, 2006 to $3,192,170, or a decrease of $1,187,293. The principal reasons for the decrease in working capital were as follows:

 

   

Cash decreased by $1,806,754 primarily as a result of our net operating loss for the quarter .

 

   

Accounts Receivable increased by $523,131, primarily due to the increased revenues in the last month of the quarter.

 

   

Prepaid expenses and deposits decreased by $98,464 as the result of payment of our General Liability and our Auto policy.

 

   

Accrued payroll related expenses decreased $252,694 as a result of paying our Workers Compensation policy premium and payroll related expenses.

Plans for additional capital

Our top financial priorities for 2007 are to drive revenue growth and increase gross margins while holding flat or driving down selling, general and administrative costs as compared to the second half of 2006. Execution of this plan should provide sufficient operating cash in 2007. Significant orders in our infection control business would necessitate increased capital to fund the growth and we are prepared to seek capital as the business develops. Management is also prepared to seek additional sources of funding should there be a delay in the rate of mold prevention sales growth. There is no assurance that such additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to the Company if at all.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks, some of which are beyond our control. A number of these risks are listed below. These risks could affect actual future results and could cause them to differ materially from any forward-looking statements we have made in this report. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information set forth in this Form 10-QSB. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Should they materialize, any of the risks described below could significantly and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could fall and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to buy our securities.

We have a history of losses and cash flow deficits, and we expect to continue to operate at a loss and to have negative cash flow for the foreseeable future, which could cause the price of our stock to decline.

Since our inception, we have incurred net losses in every quarter through March 31, 2007. At March 31, 2007, we had cumulative net losses of $19.2 million and working capital of $3.2 million. We also had negative cash flow from operating activities. Historically, we have funded our operations from internally generated funds, the proceeds from the sale of debt and equity securities and payment of obligations with our common stock. Our growth strategy is to increase our markets and our market share by adding new service centers and sales professionals and by opening more regions. This is likely to result in additional losses and negative cash flow for the foreseeable future. We cannot give assurances that we will ever become profitable.

Our future success depends on broad market acceptance of mold prevention services and antimicrobial infection control services, which may not happen, and therefore we may never achieve profitability.

The market for mold prevention and antimicrobial infection control services is relatively new. As is typical of a new and rapidly evolving industry, the demand for, and market acceptance of, mold prevention and antimicrobial surface infection control services is highly uncertain. Currently, mold prevention services are not required by local building codes or the insurance industry, making it even more difficult for us to market our services. In order to be successful, we must educate property owners, builders and the public about the importance of mold prevention. We believe that one of the major obstacles we face in marketing our mold prevention services is the lack of knowledge of the importance of maintaining indoor environments mold-free. We spend a considerable amount of time educating property owners, builders, contractors and the general public on the health risks associated with mold exposure and the value of our services. We can provide no assurances that these efforts will be successful or result in increased revenue. Our success also depends on builders allocating a portion of their construction budget for problem avoidance. In the event that builders do not have funds available for such purpose, the sales of our services will be adversely affected. We cannot give assurances that the demand for mold prevention service will become widespread. If the market for mold prevention services fails to develop or develops more slowly than we anticipate, our business could be adversely affected. The market for antimicrobial infection control protection services is also new. Hospitals are facing new federal and state imposed requirements that are designed to reduce the incidences of hospital acquired infections. However, hospitals currently use methodologies that they consider to be safety intervention steps (hand washing, blood stream infection control, urinary tract infection control, non-use of non essential catheters and sepsis review) for reducing the incidences of hospital acquired infections. As such, no assurance can be given that any of the newly imposed federal or state requirements that are designed to reduce the incidences of hospital acquired infections will create a meaningful demand for our antimicrobial infection control protection services.

Our limited operating history makes it difficult for us to accurately forecast our revenues and appropriately plan our expenses.

We commenced operation in September 2002 and incorporated in January 2003. As a result of our limited operating history, it is difficult to accurately forecast our revenue and plan our operating expenses. Revenues and operating results are difficult to forecast because they generally depend on the volume and timing of the job orders we receive, which are uncertain. Some of our expenses are fixed and, as a result, we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in revenues. This inability could cause our net income in a given quarter to be lower than expected or our net loss to be higher than expected. In addition, our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects. An investor should consider our business and prospects in light of the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by early stage companies, including limited capital, marketing and sales obstacles and delays, inability to gain customer acceptance of our services, inability to attract and retain high-quality and talented executives and other personnel and significant competition. If we are unable to successfully address these risks, our business may not grow, our stock price may suffer and we may be unable to stay in business.

A significant downturn in the national economy in general, and the new home construction industry specifically, could adversely affect our revenue, gross margin and earnings.

Our business could be unfavorably affected by changes in national economic conditions, including inflation, interest rates, and availability of capital markets, consumer spending rates and the effects of governmental plans to manage economic conditions. The demand for our mold prevention services, and hence our revenue and gross margin, is strongly correlated with the level of business activity within the new home construction industry. Economic weakness in the new home construction industry has resulted in the past, and may result in the future, in decreased revenue, gross margin, earnings and growth rates. In this environment, we may not be able to increase our revenues sufficiently to maintain our margins, which may affect our ability to achieve our growth strategy.

Our cash balance may not be sufficient to fully execute on our growth strategy, and therefore, we may seek to raise additional capital in the future.

As of March 31, 2007, we had approximately $2.7 million in cash and cash equivalents for use in expansion, sales and marketing, capital expenditures and working capital. This amount may not be sufficient to execute our growth strategy in full. Since our growth strategy contemplates a national roll-out of service centers in targeted markets and penetration into large institutions, organizations and government facilities for interior surface treatment, we anticipate that we will need to raise additional capital in the future. We could also face unforeseen costs, such as an increase in the cost of raw materials and operating expenses, which would further strain our limited financial resources. Also, our revenues could fall short of our projection if AMG Scientific, LLC is unable to successfully sell its infection control surface treatment. Additionally builders could discontinue ordering for reasons unrelated to our services, such as severe weather or natural disasters in a region of the country where we have projected significant sales or a decline in the new construction segment of the residential housing construction industry, which would further increase our operating losses and negative cash flow.

Table of Contents

We have not been able to generate a sufficient amount of cash flow to fund operations and, as a result, if we need to raise additional capital in the future, we may not be able to do so on terms that are reasonable, which could cause our operating and financial performance to decline from previous levels or to be lower than expected.

We do have identified sources of additional capital on which we could rely but these may be more expensive sources of financing than what we would prefer. New sources of capital may not be available to us when we need it or may be available only on terms we would not find acceptable. If capital is not available on satisfactory terms or is not available at all, we may be unable to continue to fully develop our business or take advantage of new business opportunities. In addition, our results of operations may decline from previous levels or may fail to meet expectations because of the higher cost of capital. As a result, the price of our publicly traded securities may decline, causing holders of our securities to lose all or part of their investment. Finally, equity financing, if obtained, could result in additional dilution to our existing stockholders.

We may not succeed in establishing the “Mold Guard” or “Protection Plus” brand, which could prevent us from acquiring customers and increasing our revenues.

A significant element of our business strategy is to build market share by continuing to promote and establish the “Mold Guard” and “Prevention Plus” brand. If we cannot establish our brand identity, we may fail to build the critical mass of customers required to substantially increase our revenues. Promoting and positioning our brand will depend largely on the success of our sales and marketing efforts and our ability to provide a consistent, high quality customer experience. To promote our brand, we expect that we will incur substantial expenses related to advertising and other marketing efforts. If our brand promotion activities fail, our ability to attract new customers and maintain customer relationships will be adversely affected, and, as a result, our financial condition and results of operations will suffer.

There is very little, if anything, about our service that is proprietary, and as such we are likely to face increasing competition, making it more difficult for us to capture market share.

We do not own any intellectual property or other proprietary rights. The raw materials that we use are not owned or produced by us and are available commercially. Although we believe that the methodology we use in delivering our services is proprietary, there is very little we can do to protect it. Except for our senior executive officers, none of our employees or contractors sign confidentiality, non-compete or non-disclosure agreements. With virtually no barriers to entry, any number of potential competitors could enter the market and provide the same services that we provide. Competitors may misappropriate our methodology or our methodology may otherwise become known or independently developed by competitors. This could materially and adversely affect our business and the value of an investment in our securities.

We rely on our suppliers to provide us with the raw materials we need to provide our services, and these third parties may fail to deliver us the material we need in a timely fashion, which could adversely affect our reputation and our ability to generate revenues.

We use three products for our mold prevention and infection control services: baking soda, a disinfectant/deodorizer and an antimicrobial agent. Our ability to service our customers depends on us having a regular and reliable source for these materials. We rely on our suppliers to provide us with adequate quantities of these products in a timely manner. A failure by our suppliers to provide us with these key products in a timely manner or in sufficient quantities will have an adverse effect on our ability to satisfy customer demand and could damage our reputation and brand and substantially harm our financial condition and results of operations. Timely delivery of these products could be affected by a number of factors including labor issues at the supplier and shipper, inclement weather and product availability. We only have a supply agreement covering the antimicrobial agent. If shortages occur on a regular basis, we will loose revenue opportunities, which would have an adverse impact on our financial condition and could negatively impact our reputation, which could have longer term adverse consequences on our ability to grow our business.

We have a limited amount of general liability insurance coverage, and therefore a large damage award for personal injury or property damage could render us financially insolvent.

There is increasing litigation in the United States over personal injuries caused by mold contamination and jury awards relating to such litigation are significant. If our services fail to prevent mold growth on a surface we treated, a person suffering property damage or personal injury is likely to sue us. In such event, our insurance coverage – $3 million – may not be sufficient. Litigation that is launched against us and that results in a large jury award could render us financially insolvent.

Our future success depends on retaining our existing senior executives and hiring and retaining additional management personnel as well as skilled managers and sales personnel for our service centers, and therefore the loss of any of our key employees or the failure to hire new management level personnel could limit our ability to execute our growth strategy, resulting in lost sales and a slower rate of growth.

Our future success depends, in part, on the continued active participation of our chief executive officer, our chief operating officer and our chief financial officer. We do not carry, nor do we anticipate obtaining, “key man” insurance on any of them, if for any reason, either one of them decides to discontinue his active participation in our business; our financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected. Our current management team may not be sufficient to support our projected needs. As our business grows, we will need to hire key personnel. Competition for such highly skilled executives in Orange County, California, where our executive offices are located, is intense, and we may find it difficult to hire the people we need.

We hire and retain at least one experienced and knowledgeable general manager and sales executive for each region in which we establish a service center. The competition for high-quality, skilled managers and sales personnel in the new home construction industry is intense, causing the search process to be time-consuming and expensive. Moreover, in certain parts of the country, it may also be difficult to find workers to staff the crews needed to perform our services at construction sites. In addition we may need to hire skilled sales and account management executives to develop our infection control business. We may not be able to hire enough qualified personnel to meet our needs as our business grows or to retain the employees we currently have. Our inability to hire and retain the individuals we need could hinder our ability to sell our existing services. If we are not able to attract and retain qualified employees, we will not be able to successfully implement our business plan and our business will be harmed.

We may not be able to manage our growth effectively, create operating efficiencies or achieve or sustain profitability.

The ability to manage and operate our business as we execute our growth strategy will require effective planning. Rapid growth could strain our internal resources, leading to a lower quality of customer service, reporting problems and delays in meeting important deadlines, resulting in loss of market share and other problems that could adversely affect our reputation and financial performance. Our efforts to grow have placed, and we expect will continue to place, a significant strain on our personnel, management systems, infrastructure and other resources. Our ability to manage future growth effectively will also require us to continue to update and improve our operational, financial and management controls and procedures. If we do not manage our growth effectively, we could be faced with slower growth and a failure to achieve or sustain profitability.

We may not be able to secure required governmental approval or licensing for products we use in the future.

Prior to our use of new mold removal, disinfectant / deodorizing, or antimicrobial products in the future, we may be required to obtain federal and/or state approval and licenses, including but not limited to the approval of the EPA. Our failure to obtain such approval or licenses may adversely affect our operations.

We may incur significant costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management devotes substantial time to new compliance initiatives.

We may incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a public company, including costs resulting from regulations regarding corporate governance practices. For example, the listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market require that we satisfy certain corporate governance requirements relating to independent directors, audit committees, distribution of annual and interim reports, stockholder meetings, stockholder approvals, and solicitation of proxies, conflicts of interest, stockholder voting rights and codes of conduct. Our management and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations have increased our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, these rules and regulations could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers.

In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”) requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. In particular, for the year ending December 31, 2007, we must perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our testing, or the subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm in the year ending December 31, 2008, may reveal deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. Our compliance with Section 404 will require that we incur substantial expense and expend significant management time on compliance-related issues. Moreover, if we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identify deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our stock would likely decline and we

could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the Nasdaq Stock Market, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.

There are inherent limitations in all control systems, and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

While we continue to take action to ensure compliance with the disclosure controls and other requirements of SOX and the related SEC and Nasdaq Stock Market rules, there are inherent limitations in our ability to control all circumstances. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that any company’s controls, including our own, will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefit of controls must be evaluated in relation to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, in our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Further, controls can be circumvented by individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more persons, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may be inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Risks Related to Our Industry

As public awareness of the health risks and economic costs of mold contamination and hospital acquired infections grows, we expect competition to increase, which could make it more difficult for us to grow and achieve profitability.

We expect competition to increase as awareness of mold-related and infectious disease problems increase. As we demonstrate the success of our service we expect other companies to enter the market. A rapid increase in competition could negatively affect our ability to develop new and retain our existing clients and the prices that we can charge. Many of our competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater financial resources, customer support, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more established relationships than we do. We cannot be sure that we will have the resources or expertise to compete successfully. Compared to us, our competitors may be able to:

 

   

develop and expand their products and services more quickly;

 

   

adapt faster to new or emerging technologies and changing customer needs and preferences;

 

   

take advantage of acquisitions and other opportunities more readily;

 

   

negotiate more favorable agreements with vendors and customers;

 

   

devote greater resources to marketing and selling their products or services; and

 

   

address customer service issues more effectively.

Some of our competitors also may be able to increase their market share by providing customers with additional benefits or by reducing their prices. We cannot be sure that we will be able to match price reductions by our competitors. In addition, our competitors may form strategic relationships to better compete with us. These relationships may take the form of strategic investments, joint-marketing agreements, licenses or other contractual arrangements that could increase our competitors’ ability to serve customers. If our competitors are successful in entering our market, our ability to grow or even sustain our current business could be adversely impacted.

If we fail to keep up with changes in our industry, we will become less competitive, limiting our ability to generate new business and increase our revenues.

In order to remain competitive, serve our customers effectively and increase our revenue, we must respond on a timely and cost-effective basis to changes in technology, industry standards and procedures and customer preferences. We need to continuously develop new procedures and technologies that address new developments in the construction and health care industry. In the market segments we serve and the regions in which we operate, we need to stay current and compliant with laws, regulations, rules, standards, guidelines, releases and other pronouncements that are periodically issued by legislatures, government agencies, courts, professional associations and others. In some cases these changes may be significant and the cost to comply with these changes may be substantial. We cannot give assurances that we will be able to adapt to any changes in the future, that we will have the financial resources to keep up with changes in the marketplace or that we will be able to offset those costs with increases in the amounts we change for our services. This could cause our net income to

decline, which likely will lead to a decline in the price of our publicly traded securities, resulting in a loss of all or a part of an investment in our securities.

We do not have “exclusive” or long-term commitments from builders for our services, negating any competitive advantage we get from these relationships.

Although we have ongoing relationships with a number of national and regional home builders, none of these relationships are “exclusive.” In addition, we do not have any long-term firm commitments from builders to use our services. Even “preferred provider” status, which we enjoy with one national home builder, does not guarantee that we will be hired for a particular job or any job with that customer. As a result, our revenues are unpredictable, and we are highly susceptible to competition. There is nothing preventing any of our customers from entering into identical or similar relationships with our competitors or from discontinuing their relationship with us at any time. If a number of builders were to terminate their relationship with us at the same time or direct business to our competitors, our business, operating and financial condition would suffer.

Risk Related to Our Securities

Our stock price is volatile and there is a limited market for our shares.

The stock markets generally have experienced, and will probably continue to experience, extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market price of the shares of many small capital companies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated to the operating results of such companies. Factors that may affect the volatility of our stock price include the following:

 

   

our success, or lack of success, in developing and marketing our products and services;

 

   

the announcement of new products, services, or technological innovations by us or our competitors;

 

   

actual or perceived changes in the national economy and new home construction industry;

 

   

quarterly fluctuations of our operating results;

 

   

changes in revenue or earning estimates by the investment community; and

 

   

competition.

Based on the factors described above, recent trends should not be considered reliable indicators of our future stock prices or financial results. Additionally, there is a limited market for our common stock and warrants and we cannot give assurances that such a market will develop further or be maintained.

Investors should not expect the payment of dividends by us.

We do not expect to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Investors who require cash dividends from their investments should not purchase our common stock or warrants.

Holders of our securities may experience significant dilution.

We anticipate that we may need to raise additional capital to fund our business growth. In addition, we anticipate that we may issue a significant number of shares or the rights to acquire shares as a part of our strategy to raise capital. In either event, current stockholders may experience significant dilution and our earnings per share may decrease.

Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results may cause our stock price to decline and limit our stockholders’ ability to sell our common stock or warrants in the public markets.

Our operating results and the operating results of businesses that we may acquire in the future may fluctuate significantly due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Our operating results may in some future quarter fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In this event, the trading price of our common stock or warrants could decline significantly. In addition to the risks disclosed elsewhere in this report, factors outside of our control, which may cause our quarterly operating results to fluctuate may include:

 

   

fluctuations in the national economy, and more specifically the new home construction industry;

 

   

demand for our products;

 

   

fluctuation in the capital budgets of our customers; and

 

   

development of superior products and services by our competitors.

In addition, factors within our control, such as our ability to deliver services in a timely fashion, may cause our operating results to fluctuate in the future.

The factors listed above may affect both our quarter-to-quarter operating results as well as our long-term success. Given the potential fluctuation in our operating results, you should not rely on quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations as an indication of our future performance or to determine any trend in our performance. Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results could cause the market price and demand for our common stock or warrants to fluctuate substantially, which may limit the ability of our stockholders to sell our securities in the public markets.

If persons engage in short sales of our common stock, including sales of shares to be issued upon exercise of warrants, the price of our common stock may decline.

Selling short is a technique used by a stockholder to take advantage of an anticipated decline in the price of a security. A significant number of short sales or a large volume of other sales within a relatively short period of time can create downward pressure on the market price of a security. Further sales of common stock issued upon exercise of our warrants could cause even greater declines in the price of our common stock due to the number of additional shares available in the market, which could encourage short sales that could further undermine the value of our common stock. Holders of our securities could, therefore, experience a decline in the value of their investment as a result of short sales of our common stock.

Future sales of our common stock may cause our stock price to decline.

Our current stockholders hold a substantial number of shares of our common stock that they are able to sell in the public market. Significant portions of these shares are held by a small number of stockholders. Sales by our current stockholders of a substantial number of shares or the expectation that such sale may occur, could significantly reduce the market price of our common stock. Additionally our officers, directors and pre-offering holders of approximately 1,579,413 shares of our stock were subject to a lock-up agreement that expired on April 26, 2007. If these stockholders sell a significant amount of these shares on or after that date, this could significantly reduce the market price of our common stock.

ITEM 3 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are effective to ensure that all information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and Forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, and allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In connection with the above-referenced evaluation, no change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 – Legal Proceedings

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 commenced in this matter. 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.

Item 2 – Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On April 27, 2007, we issued warrants to two persons in connection with the payment for services received by the Company from such persons for infection control studies. The warrants entitle the holders thereof to purchase up to an aggregate of 40,000 shares of common stock at any time until April 27, 2010, at a purchase price of $2.16 per share.
