NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial information of Medizone International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), included herein, is unaudited and has been prepared consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. These notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2016.
NOTE 2 CANADIAN FOUNDATION FOR GLOBAL HEALTH
In late 2008, the Company assisted in the formation of the Canadian Foundation for Global Health (“CFGH”), a not-for-profit foundation based in Ottawa, Canada. The Company helped establish CFGH for two primary purposes: (1) to establish an independent not-for-profit foundation intended to have a continuing working relationship with the Company for research purposes that is best positioned to attract the finest scientific, medical and academic professionals possible to work on projects deemed to be of social benefit; and (2) to provide a means for the Company to use a tiered pricing structure for services and products in emerging economies and extend the reach of the Company’s technology to as many in need as possible.
Accounting standards require a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to be consolidated by a company if that company absorbs a majority of the VIE’s expected losses and/or receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns as a result of holding variable interests, which are the ownership, contractual, or other financial interests in the entity. In addition, a legal entity may be considered to be a VIE, if it does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its own activities without relying on financial support from other parties. If the legal entity is a VIE, then the reporting entity determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE must consolidate its financial statements with those of the VIE. The Company determined that CFGH met the requirements of a VIE effective upon the first advance to CFGH on February 12, 2009. Accordingly, the financial statements of CFGH have been consolidated with those of the Company for all periods presented.

NOTE 4 GOING CONCERN
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which assumes an entity is a going concern and contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant losses from its inception through March 31, 2016, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $35,885,735 as of March 31, 2016. The Company does not have funds sufficient to cover its operating costs for the next 12 months, has negative equity, and has a working capital deficit of $3,105,943 as of March 31, 2016. The Company has relied exclusively on debt and equity financing to sustain its operations. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 4 GOING CONCERN (continued)
Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon future revenues, obtaining additional capital and ultimately, upon the Company’s attaining profitable operations. The Company will require substantial additional funds to complete the development of its products and product manufacturing, and to fund expected additional losses, until revenues are sufficient to cover the Company’s operating expenses. If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining the necessary additional funding, it will be forced to substantially reduce or cease operations.
The Company believes that it will need approximately $1,500,000 over the next 12 months for continued production manufacturing and related activities, research, development, and marketing activities, as well as for general corporate purposes. No cash was generated through the sale of shares of common stock for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraphs and eventually attain profitable operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 5 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is subject to certain claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, uninsured losses, if any, resulting from the ultimate resolution of these matters, will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Litigation
Rakas vs. Medizone International, Inc
. - A former consultant brought this action against the Company claiming the Company had failed to pay consulting fees under a consulting agreement. In September 2001, the parties agreed to settle the matter for $25,000. The Company, however, did not have the funds to pay the settlement and the plaintiff moved the court to enter a default judgment in the amount of $143,000 in January 2002. On May 8, 2002, the court vacated the default judgment and requested that the Company post a bond of $25,000 to cover the settlement previously entered into by the parties. The Company has been unable to post the required bond amount as of the date of this report. Therefore, the Company has recorded, as part of accounts payable, the original default judgment in the amount of $143,000, plus fees totaling $21,308, as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The Company intends to contest the judgment if and when it is able to in the future.
Other Payables
As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company has $224,852 of past due payables for which the Company has not received invoices or demands for over 10 years. Although management of the Company does not believe that the amounts will be required to be paid, the amounts are recorded as other payables until such time as the Company is certain that no liability exists and until the applicable statute of limitations has expired.
Operating Leases
The Company operates a certified laboratory located at Innovation Park, Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, which provides a primary research and development platform. The lease is on a month-to-month basis with a monthly lease payment of $1,375 Canadian dollars (“CD”) plus the applicable goods and services tax (“GST”). Leases for a second laboratory space for full scale room testing and a storage unit are on a month-to-month basis with a monthly lease payment of CD$1,375 and CD$475, respectively, plus the applicable GST.
The Company has a non-cancelable lease for office space located in California, with monthly payments of approximately $500 through December 31, 2016.

NOTE 6 COMMON STOCK OPTIONS (continued)
The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option award by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which model requires the use of exercise behavior data and the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the Company’s stock price, the weighted average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the options. Because the Company does not pay dividends, the dividend rate variable in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is zero. Expense of $0 and $81,229 related to stock options was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Excluding options whose performance condition is not yet deemed probable, as of March 31, 2016, the Company had unvested outstanding options with related unrecognized expense of $104,647. The Company will recognize this expense when the achievement of the required milestones becomes probable.
The Company estimated the fair value of the stock options described in the above paragraphs at the date of the grant or date of re-measurement, based on the following weighted average assumptions:

NOTE 9 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers,
which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. The core principle of ASU No. 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU No. 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing US GAAP. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15,
Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
. This standard sets forth management’s responsibility to evaluate, each reporting period, whether there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and if so, to provide related disclosures in the financial statements. ASU No. 2014-15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on the Company’s financial statement presentation.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03,
“Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.”
To simplify presentation of debt issuance costs, the amendments in ASU No. 2015-03 require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in ASU No. 2015-03. ASU 2015-03 was effective for the Company in the quarter ended March 31, 2016 and there was no impact on its financial reporting.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17,
Income Taxes (Topic 740)
, simplifying the presentation of deferred income taxes on the balance sheet by requiring companies to classify everything as either a non-current asset or non-current liability. ASU No. 2015-17 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on the Company’s financial statement presentation.
In February 2016, the FASB released ASU No. 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842)
, to bring transparency to lessee balance sheets. ASU No. 2016-02 will require organizations that lease assets (lessees) to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months. ASU No. 2016-02 will apply to both types of leases; capital (or finance) leases and operating leases. Previously, US GAAP has required only capital leases to be recognized on lessee balance sheets. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU No. 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09,
Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
. ASU No. 2016-09 is intended to simplify several areas of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeitures. ASU No. 2016-09 is effective for years ending after December 31, 2016, and the Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU No. 2016-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
