DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Company Overview ---------------- Innovative Medical Services began as a provider of pharmaceutical water purification products. Although our current revenues are still primarily from the pharmacy industry, we have expanded from our niche pharmacy market into other, broader markets with new products, including residential and commercial water filtration systems, health and wellness-related retail and e-commerce merchandise, silver ion bioscience technologies and boric acid based pesticide technologies. The Fillmaster(R) pharmaceutical water purification, dispensing and measuring products include the Pharmapure(R) water purification system, the FMD 550 dispenser, the patented Fillmaster 1000e computerized dispenser and the patented Scanmaster(TM) bar code reader. We also market proprietary National Sanitation Foundation certified replacement filters for the Fillmaster Systems. Our Nutripure(R) line of water treatment and filtration systems includes the Nutripure 3000S-Series whole-house water softening systems, the Nutripure Elite reverse osmosis point-of-use systems, the Nutripure 2000 countertop water filtration system and the Nutripure Sport filtered sport bottle. We distribute our various Nutripure products in several ways, including retail sales, catalogue placement, business-to-business sales, internet promotion and in-home sales presentations. Through our subsidiary Nutripure.com, we operate an e-commerce health website, Nutripure.com(TM), that distributes Bergen Brunswig products. We provide consumers a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, nutritional supplements, homeopathic remedies and natural products. In addition to merchandise, the site offers comprehensive health and wellness information in an easy-to-access, intuitive reference format. In November 2001, we acquired the patent for Axenohl(TM). Axenohl(TM) is a patented, non-toxic aqueous disinfectant. The use dilution formulation of Axenohl is called Axen(TM). The EPA registration for use of Axenohl and Axen as hard surface disinfectants has been issued, and we plan to pursue additional EPA, USDA and FDA regulatory approvals for other applications. Additional possible uses for this product include wound care, topical infection care and personal disinfecting retail products, which may require FDA approvals, as well as municipal water treatment and point-of-use/point-of-entry water treatment products, which may require additional EPA approvals. We expanded our bioscience division by acquiring a new pesticide technology during the year. The product line contains particular formulas for specific pests and targets cockroaches, ants, palmetto bugs, silverfish, waterbugs, ticks, fleas, lice and garden pests. We are marketing the first product from the line, the EPA-approved RoachX(TM), to the pest control industry through the two largest pest control wholesalers in the United States. We have submitted for and anticipate EPA approval for AntX(TM), the next product in the line. We are ready to begin selling AntX as soon as approval is received. 2 History Innovative Medical Services was incorporated in the State of California on August 24, 1992, to pursue the immediate business of manufacturing and marketing the Fillmaster and subsequently a broadly based business of delivering advanced technology, equipment and supplies to not only the pharmacy industry, but also other healthcare markets and to retail consumers. In the past five years, Innovative Medical Services transitioned from a one-product company supplying a niche market to a multi-division company managing new products and programs. In addition to expanding the Fillmaster product line with the Fillmaster 1000e and the Scanmaster, we launched a line of residential water treatment and filtration products and several other health related retail products. We distribute many of the new products through distribution channels established by sales of Fillmaster Systems to retailers. We also launched a strong e-commerce initiative and entered the bioscience arena with our silver ion disinfecting technologies and our boric acid based pesticide technologies In October 1998, Innovative Medical Services acquired AMPROMED, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and certain assets of Export Company of America Inc. (EXCOA), Fort Lauderdale, FL, and established a new Nevada corporation to hold and operate the export/import operation. AMPROMED's primary business is the sale of medical, dental and veterinary disposable products. In addition to medical supplies, we plan to distribute water treatment and silver ion products to Brazil through AMPROMED. Since the acquisition, the economic conditions in the region have declined and implementation of the project has been delayed. We no longer have immediate plans to import medical and dental supplies into Brazil but we believe, however, that Ampromed is a vital part of our plan to market and sell Axenohl, RoachX and the Nutripure line of water treatment products. In December 1999, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Nutripure.com, to capitalize on internet commerce opportunities focusing on health and wellness. In January 2000, we began the process to spin off Nutripure.com as a separate public company. During the intervening time, adverse market conditions for solely internet-based ventures eroded Management's confidence in the viability of a public market for Nutripure.com common stock. Therefore, in October 2000, our Board of Directors elected to retain Nutripure.com as an operating division of Innovative Medical Services in order to minimize the substantial administrative expense associated with launching and operating a public company. Principal Products and Markets WATER TREATMENT DIVISION Pharmaceutical Water Treatment Fillmaster(R) The Fillmaster dispensing apparatus, connected to the Pharmapure(R) reverse osmosis water filtration system, provides measured amounts of purified water for reconstitution of liquid oral antibiotics and certain other pharmacy applications. Pharmapure is a six-stage water purification unit featuring an electronic water purity testing module and an auxiliary faucet for dispensing purified water. Fillmaster is a calibrated volumetric measuring and dispensing apparatus. The entire system (the "Fillmaster System") integrates with the building's tap water plumbing and is closed and pressurized to prevent contamination. The Fillmaster System saves time and money for pharmacies. According to our testing, the Fillmaster has a fill rate at least three times that of previous bottle-and-hose methods, and direct and indirect costs associated specifically with bottled water are reduced or eliminated. Pharmacy storage space can be reallocated to more profitable items, labor savings accompany the efficiencies, and the expense of bottled water purchases of up to $1.25 per gallon is replaced by one annual filter change. Under optimum usage, a pharmacy reduces the cost of "purified water" to approximately $.04 per gallon. 3 In addition to efficiency and cost savings, the Fillmaster System increases prescription integrity by greatly reducing the possibility of human error while dispensing prescriptions. The patented Fillmaster 1000e employs multiple microprocessors to provide accurate and even-flow dispensing. We sell Fillmaster 1000e dispensers as an upgrade to existing installations and as a component of new installations. The Scanmaster, launched in August 1999, is a pager-sized, modular upgrade to the Fillmaster 1000e. A user simply scans a prescription's NDC bar code in front of the dispenser, and the Fillmaster 1000e displays the product name and required water quantity. The Fillmaster System then dispenses the prescription with one touch of a button. The advanced technology of the Fillmaster 1000e computerized dispenser and the Scanmaster bar code reader ensures accuracy of measurement and assurance of compliance to minimize liability. This is a finite, niche market in which our significant customers to date consist primarily of domestic retail chain pharmacies. There are approximately 72,000 pharmacies in the United States and Canada, with many thousands more worldwide. Water-mixed antibiotic prescriptions, for which the Fillmaster is primarily used, make up approximately 12.6% of a pharmacy's total prescriptions and approximately 20% of a pharmacy's gross profit. We have installed over 20,000 Fillmaster dispensers in pharmacies across the nation, including Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Albertson's/American Stores, Eckerd, Fred Meyer, Target, CVS, Kroger, Smith's Food and Drug, Longs Drugs, Rite-Aid, Drug Emporium, Fry's, Hi-School Pharmacies, H-E-B, Fleming, Giant and Snyders. Also included in the customer base are many United States Military Clinics, including Bethesda Naval Hospital; the Kaiser Foundation for Medical Care; the Mayo Clinic and several hundred Independent and Hospital Pharmacies. Fillmaster(R) System Filters We also market unique and proprietary NSF certified filter replacements for the Fillmaster's Pharmapure water purification system, which require changing at intervals of approximately 12 months or sooner as indicated by the purity testing module. The filter replacements represent a significant continuing source of revenues to us. Customer Service Plan 2000(TM) Innovative Medical Services offers outstanding service to its pharmacy customers with its exclusive Customer Service Plan 2000 (CSP 2000). The CSP 2000 provides an unlimited warranty on all Innovative Medical Services pharmacy products, regardless of age or quantity; significant discounts on maintenance item costs; free software upgrades for the Fillmaster 1000e and Scanmaster; a secure web site that allows pharmacy customers to monitor history, scheduled maintenance and account status; automatic replacement filter shipments; and simplified, annual invoicing. Motivated by the cost savings and the extended warranty coverage, most of our chain customers have entered into multi-year contracts for the CSP 2000. Residential Water Treatment Products Nutripure(R) 3000S Series Innovative Medical Services' Nutripure Water Dealer Program offers existing independent water treatment dealers a line of residential water softening and other point-of-use water treatment equipment for sale to the public under IMS' Nutripure brand. In addition, the program provides complementary, industry-unique financing that extends credit to consumers for the purchase of water treatment equipment from participating dealers. We realize revenues from both the sale of Nutripure equipment and the financing. The Nutripure 3000S Series whole-house water softening systems, like most water softening systems on the market, are typically professionally installed in a customer's basement or garage and require electricity. The Nutripure water softening systems, comprised of a resin tank, brine tank and controller, extract minerals from the water through an ion exchange process. Nutripure 3000 systems are often installed in conjunction with Nutripure Elite systems. 4 We have formed alliances with independent dealer groups, finance companies and leading equipment component manufacturers to create a marketing program to sell and finance whole-house water treatment systems through existing dealers. We believe this marketing strategy provides consumers and independent dealers a name and image they can trust. The programmable systems come equipped with microprocessors and electronic water meters to monitor daily water usage and provide automatic, demand-based water conditioning. An electronic memory stores operating system information, and battery backup keeps it current if power is lost. Nutripure(R) Elite The Nutripure Elite line of residential drinking water systems combines reverse osmosis technology with carbon filtration to improve the taste, smell, quality and safety of standard tap water. Reverse osmosis is a water treatment process that removes contaminants from water by using pressure to force the water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane. Carbon, sometimes referred to as activated carbon, is a water treatment medium commonly used for dechlorination and for reducing trace and soluble materials from water. The Nutripure Elite reverse osmosis filtration system is comprised of a storage tank, a faucet and a water filtration apparatus which includes a sediment filter, pre- and post-carbon filters and a reverse osmosis membrane. Nutripure Elite requires neither professional installation nor electricity to operate. The Nutripure Elite system filters to .001 micron and reduces heavy metals, chemicals and microorganisms, such as cryptosporidium and giardia, as well as reducing bad taste and odor from drinking water. A micron is a measurement unit equal to one millionth of a meter. Micron measurements are applied to water filtration systems to indicate the particle size at which suspended solids larger than that size will be removed. We distribute Nutripure Elite systems through independent pharmacists, providing them an exclusive health product. Our direct sales force of independent water treatment dealers also distributes the Nutripure Elite system in conjunction with sales of the Nutripure 3000S Series water softening equipment. Nutripure(R) Elite Filters We also market unique and proprietary filter replacements for the Nutripure Elite residential drinking water systems that require changing every 12 months. Nutripure(R) 2000 Innovative Medical Services entered the retail venue with its Nutripure 2000 Countertop Water Filtration System. Nutripure 2000, developed specifically for mass merchandising, offers water filtration technology at competitive pricing. Nutripure's filter component is a one-micron, carbon microfilter reduces dirt, chemicals, lead and parasites to improve the taste, quality and safety of tap water. The Nutripure 2000 requires no assembly, mounts directly to a faucet and features a 2,000-gallon capacity filter, an automatic bypass shutoff valve, an electronic monitor that reminds users when to change the filter, and an exclusive filter design that prevents leaking and contamination because water flows only through the completely sealed filter cartridge. The filter component, manufactured by Omnipure Filter Company of Caldwell, Idaho, has been tested by Spectrum Laboratories to meet or exceed National Sanitation Foundation Standard No. 53 Health Effects and Standard No. 42 Aesthetic Effects. These tests determine if the product meets the most stringent standards set by the NSF for consumer water filtration. Spectrum Labs, Inc. is an independent laboratory in New Brighton, Minnesota. The testing on the Nutripure product was paid for by Omnipure Filter Company, Caldwell, Idaho. The test reports were submitted by Spectrum Labs, Inc. to Omnipure on April 6, 1998. We had no prior relationship with Spectrum Labs when the tests were conducted. We selected the Omnipure filter component for the Nutripure 2000 in part because it had this testing available, though there are several other similar quality filter components readily available. Other than purchase orders there is no written agreement between us and Omnipure. Spectrum Labs' Product Testing Department conducted testing on the product for chlorine reduction in accordance with test protocol contained in NSF International Standard Number 42 "Drinking Water Treatment Units/Aesthetic Effects," Appendix B, "Chemical Unit Test Methods," Section I, "Procedure - Plumbed-In and Faucet Mounted Taste, Odor and Chlorine Reduction Units Without Reservoir," revised June 1988. The product was found to meet the requirements for compliance under Standard Number 42 for taste, odor and chlorine reduction for Class I filters. 5 In addition, Spectrum Labs evaluated the product for cyst and turbidity reduction and structural integrity in accordance with test protocol contained in NSF International Standard Number 53, "Drinking Water Treatment Unites/Health Effects," Section 6.12, "Mechanical Filtration Test Methods," and Section 6.6, "Structural Integrity Performance. The filter media evaluation was performed based on test protocol contained in NSF Standard Number 53, Section 6.7, "Filter Media." Influent and effluent samples were analyzed for cyst reduction using American Society for Testing and Materials Method Number F796 which is a standard particle counting method. Samples evaluated for turbidity were analyzed using EPA Method Number 180.1 which is a nephelometric method. NSF Standard Number 53, Section 6.6.1.2 protocol was used to perform the pressure evaluation for structural integrity. The product was found to meet the requirements for compliance under NSF Standard Number 53 for cyst and turbidity reduction, filter media evaluation and structural integrity performance. We distribute Nutripure 2000 through retail outlets and catalogues in the United States and Canada. In many cases, product placement is established through existing channels of distribution in retail chains that use Fillmaster equipment in their pharmacies. Nutripure(R) 2000 Replacement Filters We also market replacement filters for the Nutripure 2000 water system. The Nutripure 2000 contains a 2,000-gallon filter that must be changed every year. Nutripure(R) Sport Filtered Sport Bottle The Nutripure Filtered Sport Bottle, also offered as a private label or premium item, provides clean, great-tasting water for on-the-go consumers. The Nutripure Filtered Sport Bottle features a small carbon filter at the bottom end of the plastic straw so that, as the consumer drinks through the straw, the water is drawn up through the filter. An innovative alternative to buying expensive bottled water, Nutripure Sport filters an average of approximately 30 microns, reducing sediment and chlorine, and can be refilled 60 times before an inexpensive filter change is required. The Nutripure Sport program provides recurring revenue through sales of the replacement filter twin pack. RETAIL PRODUCTS DIVISION Medifier(TM) We also market the Medifier, a patented universal prescription bottle label magnifier. The Medifier holds various sized prescription bottles in position under a magnifier strip that enlarges dosage and use instructions to a clearly readable size. The Medifier is distributed through Innovative Medical Services' existing sales channels, as well as through catalogue sales and promotional products distributors. In October 2001, we have elected to discontinue marketing of the Nutripure lancets, Nutripure hand soap and Nutripure hand sanitizer in oder to focus on our more productive revenue generating product lines in the water treatment and bioscience divisions. E-COMMERCE DIVISION Nutripure.com(R) We operate Nutripure.com, an e-commerce website providing consumers a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, nutritional supplements, homeopathic remedies and natural products. In addition to products, the website offers comprehensive health and wellness information in an easy-to-access, intuitive reference format. The website also presents the Nutripure 2000 water filtration system. Nutripure.com has formed a strategic alliance with Bergen Brunswig Corporation to provide a seamless online interface for efficient, direct-to-consumer distribution of products through Bergen Brunswig's strategically located state-of-the-art distribution facility in Louisville, Kentucky. The alliance combines the strengths of Nutripure.com's aggressive sales, marketing and customer support programs with Bergen Brunswig's leadership, buying power and order fulfillment and delivery system. 6 Although sales to date from Nutripure.com are non-material, we have minimized costs related to the operation and promotion of Nutripure.com, and we have plans for strategic partnership and future promotion. BIOSCIENCE DIVISION Silver Ionization Technologies Innovative Medical Services obtained worldwide manufacturing and marketing rights to Axenohl(TM) and Axen(TM), advanced silver ion technologies. Axenohl is a patented, non-toxic aqueous disinfectant. The use dilution formulation of Axenohl is called Axen. Based upon proprietary ionization stabilization technology, Axenohl does not include the use of traditional disinfectants such as quaternary ammonium salts, phenols, glutaraldehyde, chlorine or bromine compounds. Axenohl enhances the disinfection properties of halogens (chlorine) at reduced levels and is a cost effective, stand alone alternative to halogens in many markets where conventional disinfection methodologies are employed. The disinfection efficacy of Axenohl has been well documented by independent testing laboratories. Axenohl eliminates the following test organism strains all within one minute and with 99.9999% efficacy (complete kill): Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 15422, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538, Salmonella cholerasuis ATCC 10708, E. Coli ATCC 0157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 11543, Entrococcus facium ATCC 11543, Rhino virus (common colds), and Rotavirus (infectious diarrhea). Originally, we obtained worldwide manufacturing and marketing rights to Axen/Axenohl from NVID International, Inc., in a License Agreement dated November 24, 1999 and a Manufacturing, Licensing and Distribution Agreement dated March 26, 2000 which supersedes the November 1999 Agreement. The latter agreement became the subject of litigation that has subsequently settled. Under the terms of the settlement, we acquired the Axenohl patent from NVID in exchange for 700,000 shares of our common stock and 5% of our gross Axenohl sales until March 2018, the end of the life of the patent. As the sole owner of the patent, we control the granting of rights to market and distribute Axenohl and related products. ETI-H2O, our wholly owned subsidiary, retains sole manufacturing rights. As part of the settlement agreement, we have entered into non-exclusive marketing agreements for Axenohl with Watertronics, Ltd., for the United Kingdom and Aqua Biotech S.A. de C.V. for the Republic of Mexico. In addition, Innovative Medical Services reaffirmed the exclusive right of Sistecam, S.A. to manufacture and market Axenohl for sale in Costa Rica for the duration of the patent. In November 2000, we closed an acquisition agreement whereby we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of ETIH20, Inc., in exchange for 51,240 shares of its common stock and employment agreements with Andrew Arata and George Duren, the executive officers of ETIH2O, Inc. The primary objective of the ETIH2O purchase was to acquire the testing data, manufacturing rights and capacity to Axenohl held by ETIH2O and to maintain and assure product availability and quality. Mr. Arata is the inventor of Axenhol. In March 2001, the US Patent and Trademark Office issued US Patent Number 6,197,814 for Axenohl. Patent applications have been filed in more than 50 countries and regions, and the World Intellectual Property Organization published the Axenohl International Patent Application on April 22, 1999 under publication number WO 99/18790. The dispute does not afffect any of our rights associated with the EPA registrations. 7 The EPA registrations for Axen and Axenohl as hard surface disinfectants were granted in June of 2001. Under the registration, ETI-H20 is the only EPA-approved producer of Axenohl and Axen. Registration under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) is required before a product can be sold in the United States. With EPA approval the potential uses of Axen could make dramatic improvement in retail hard surface disinfecting products as well as in disinfecting hard surfaces in hospital ERs, surgeries, laboratories, dental and medical offices. We have developed equipment to dispense Axen in measured doses to municipal, commercial and point-of-use water supplies to kill bacteria, viruses and fungi originating from the water source or the delivery infrastructure, but additional EPA approvals may be required for such water treatment applications. To date, no additional EPA applications have been made. We plan to pursue FDA approval in the future, but no applications have been made to date. We are currently researching the FDA approval process and plans to hire an experienced FDA consultant to assist with the process. Potential applications for this product which may require FDA approvals include wound care, topical infection care, and personal disinfecting retail products. We have funded testing with the United Stated Department of Agriculture for use of Axenohl in poultry processing. The USDA reported that the testing was to be completed in June, and we are awaiting the final report that will document the testing results. Boric Acid Based Pesticide Technologies During the year, we completed the acquisition of a new pesticide technology. The EPA-approved RoachX(R) was the first product to launch from the line, and we have submitted for and anticipate EPA approval for AntX. RoachX is over 96% effective in three to four days with one application for indoor and outdoor eradication of cockroaches, and can be used near children and food preparation areas. Boric acid is a well-known and effective deterrent of cockroaches and will kill them on contact, but cockroaches do not naturally eat the repellent. Although many pesticide products contain boric acid as the listed active ingredient, we believe RoachX to be new because of the combination of boric acid and glycerin in a colloidal suspension to create three unique results: 1) The formula protects the boric acid from water and humidity, 2) The cockroaches perceive formulation as food and will actually eat the glycerin-encapsulated boric acid, and 3) The formula acts as a time-released pesticide, allowing the cockroach to return to the nest before it dies and then becomes a "bait station" for other roaches in the colony. We believe the product line, containing particular formulas for specific pests, is effective against cockroaches, ants, palmetto bugs, silverfish, waterbugs, ticks, fleas, lice and garden pests. RoachX is available through Vopak (formerly Van, Waters & Rogers) and members of the Speckoz group of nine regional independent wholesalers. We believe that with RoachX and AntX we are well positioned to capitalize on the recent federal restrictions on poisonous pesticides and the subsequent industry trend of eliminating spray pesticides and increasing the use of bait-style products like RoachX and AntX. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency classifies chemicals according to its published "Toxicity Rating Scale". The scale lists Categories I, II, III and IV and defines them as Highly Toxic, Moderately Toxic, Slightly Toxic and Not Toxic. The EPA has placed Boric Acid, the active ingredient in RoachX, in Toxicity Category III: Slightly Toxic. Boric Acid is in the "least toxic" EPA category and is 96-100% effective, as tested by the USDA. Many states, including California, New York and Florida, have legislated to eliminate pesticide spraying in public schools and move to 100% IPM (integrated pest management) practices, such as using baits. We also offer our pest control operator customers our ProChoice(TM) caulk. ProChoice is an NSF, USDA and FDA approved food-grade silicone caulk manufactured by General Electric that we repackage and sell as a companion product to our pesticides. ProChoice does not contain any pesticide and is a convenience tool for pest control operators for "exclusion", or the filling of cracks and crevices to create a physical barrier insects cannot penetrate. 8 Competition We face a significant competitor in the pharmacy water treatment market, Freshwater Systems. This new competition had a significant effect on our revenues in fiscal year 2000, but our sales have begun to recover. Fillmaster system sales increased 6% from fiscal year 2000 to fiscal year 2001, and Fillmaster replacement filter sales increased 24% from fiscal year 2000 to fiscal year 2001. Although we have only one known competitor in our pharmaceutical water purification market, we face very strong competition in the residential water treatment markets where many large, long-established competitors currently hold most of the market share and have the capital resources available to invest in large national marketing campaigns. The market for Axenohl is highly competitive because we must work to displace traditional disinfecting technologies sold by well-known international industry leaders. The market is similar for RoachX. Although recent changes in EPA regulations may ease our ability to enter the market, ongoing strong market presence of existing pesticide companies may make it difficult to compete. On June 8, 2000, the United States EPA reclassified the Dow Chemical product Dursban (also sold as Lorsban). Over 800 products containing the organophosphate pesticide chlorpyrifos are reclassified and now may only be sold in a significantly diluted form. Sales of original, stronger formulations of such products to retailers ended February 1, 2001, and retailers must remove the products from shelves by December 31, 2001. The current formulations are also banned for commercial and agriculture professionals as of December 31, 2000. Professional pest control companies must use a 100 to 1 diluted version of the current product strength and obtain a waiver of responsibility from the home or business owner. As of June 6, 2001, the product underwent a further 10 to 1 dilution, creating a 1000 to 1 diluted treatment. The online marketing arena is highly competitive, and with our minimal promotion of Nutripure.com, revenues are not expected to be realized in the foreseeable future. We recognize that innovative marketing methods are required in such competitive markets. We work to focus on the high quality and value price of our products in their markets. Our ProChoice caulk, a companion product to our pesticide products, is a repackaged readily available food-grade silicone caulk manufactured by General Electric. Although competition is significant because the caulk is commercially available from multiple manufacturers in standard 10-11 ounce tubes, we have repackaged it for the convenience of our customers into 4 ounce tubes that fit bait guns used by the pest control operators. Patents and Intellectual Property We own patents on Medifier and the Fillmaster 1000e Electronic Dispenser and have a patent application pending for Roach X. Except for the Nutripure whole-house water treatment systems, our other water treatment products are comprised of combinations of our own proprietary components, custom made components and patented, off-the-shelf components and are assembled and packaged by us. The Nutripure whole-house water treatment system sold through the Nutripure dealer program is purchased from USFilter as a private label product manufactured specifically for Innovative Medical Services. USFilter uses patented key components in its product. The Medifier patent, which expires in March 2010, protects a device for use as a magnifying implement which has a housing member designed to accommodate prescription bottles of various popular sizes therein in a fixed position. A longitudinally moveable magnifying lens slideably mounted in the housing member is utilized to magnify the print contained on an instruction label located on the side of the prescription bottle. Alternate embodiments allow different size medicine bottles to be alternately mounted in concentric fashion, or with the side of the medicine bottles facing the lens in a fixed position. The Fillmaster 1000e patent expires in August 2017 and protects a method and apparatus for dispensing fluids in response to a user request for a specified amount of the fluid. A microprocessor opens and closes a fluid port for predetermined amounts of time to control the amount of fluid dispensed. The microprocessor monitors the elapsed time and the amount of fluid that has been dispensed since the last time the filter was serviced. In one preferred embodiment, the amount of fluid that is dispensed is measured by continuously monitoring the volume of fluid flowing through the apparatus. A pressure measurement device allows the microprocessor to monitor the fluid pressure. The microprocessor prevents fluid from being dispensed if the pressure is not within a predetermined range of tolerances. The fluid port is opened and closed by activating and deactivating a solenoid. A keypad allows the user to input the amount of fluid that is to be dispensed. A "Wait" period is imposed between the time that the user initiates the first stage and the time the user may initiate the second stage. The microprocessor does not open the fluid port if a "Failure" condition exists. An LCD is provided to display the amount of fluid that the user has requested. In an alternative embodiment, a bar code scanner or other input device allows the user to automatically input the amount of fluid that is to be dispensed. 9 A patent application for RoachX and related products was filed in February 1998 to protect a nonaqueous form of insecticide consisting of a desiccant, preferably boric acid, with additional ingredients for binding, stability and target insect attraction. The patent for Axenohl/Axen expires in March 2018 and protects a non-toxic environmentally friendly aqueous disinfectant for specific use as prevention against contamination by potentially pathogenic bacteria and virus. The aqueous disinfectant is formulated by electrolytically generating silver ions in water in combination with a citric acid. The aqueous disinfectant may include a suitable alcohol and/or a detergent. Originally, we obtained worldwide manufacturing and marketing rights to Axen/Axenohl from NVID International, Inc., in a License Agreement dated November 24, 1999 and a Manufacturing, Licensing and Distribution Agreement dated March 26, 2000 which supersedes the November 1999 Agreement. The latter agreement became the subject of litigation that has subsequently settled. Under the terms of the settlement, we acquired the Axenohl patent from NVID in exchange for 700,000 shares of our common stock and 5% of our gross Axenohl sales until March 2018, the end of the life of the patent. As the sole owner of the patent, we control the granting of rights to market and distribute Axenohl and related products. ETI-H2O, our wholly owned subsidiary, retains sole manufacturing rights. As part of the settlement agreement, we have entered into non-exclusive marketing agreements for Axenohl with Watertronics, Ltd., for the United Kingdom and Aqua Biotech S.A. de C.V. for the Republic of Mexico. In addition, Innovative Medical Services reaffirmed the exclusive right of Sistecam, S.A. to manufacture and market Axenohl for sale in Costa Rica for the duration of the patent. In November, 2000, we closed an acquisition agreement whereby we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of ETIH20, Inc., in exchange for 51,240 shares of our common stock and employment agreements with Andrew Arata and George Duren, the executive officers of ETIH2O, Inc. The primary objective of the ETIH2O purchase was to acquire the testing data, manufacturing rights and capacity to Axenohl held by ETIH2O and to maintain and assure product availability and quality. Manufacturing The Fillmaster and Nutripure water systems are assembled in our manufacturing facility at our corporate offices primarily from custom manufactured components. It is our goal to perform minor manufacturing in our facility to minimize wages, equipment expense and insurance. No components of the systems have permanent or unequivocally restricted availability. Many manufacturers are available to produce the components, and a change in suppliers would result in virtually no lost production. The original Fillmaster dispenser and the new Fillmaster 1000e dispenser are both assembled in our manufacturing facility at our corporate office mostly from proprietary and custom parts fabricated to our specifications from injection-molded plastic and fabricated acrylic. 10 The Nutripure Sport bottle is also assembled in our manufacturing facility at our corporate offices from proprietary and custom components manufactured under exclusive agreements with several different manufacturers. Alternative manufacturers exist, and a change in suppliers would result in virtually no lost production. There are no plans to alter production methods. We produce RoachX in our manufacturing facility at our corporate offices and outsource some of the packaging functions. The active and inactive ingredients of RoachX are readily available from chemical supply companies. We purchase chalk manufaxtured by General Electric for our ProChoice product from a General Electric authorized distributor and repackager. This chaulk is readily available through several other manufacturers. We produce Axenohl in our manufacturing facility at our corporate offices. Silver, the primary active ingredient, is a readily available commodity, and the other active and inactive ingredients of Axenohl are readily available from chemical supply companies. Research and Development Research and Development costs that have no alternative future uses are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses. The total amounts charged to Research and Development expense were $292,964 and $114,756 in the fiscal years ended July 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Employees As of October 19, 2001, Innovative Medical Services employed thirty-two people, twenty-nine of whom are full-time individuals whose principal responsibilities are: product assembly and shipping (nine employees), sales, marketing and customer service (ten employees), research and development (five employees) and administration (eight employees). We choose to outsource more expensive, specialized functions including public relations, graphic design and selected engineering projects. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Our business operates in an 11,255 square foot facility located in a light industrial/office park in El Cajon, California. This location houses all administrative, executive, sales, assembly, shipping and manufacturing functions. The space is leased from an unaffiliated third party under a sixty-five month agreement commencing on July 1, 1996. The monthly rental is $0.69 per square foot plus $0.14 per square foot for maintenance of common areas. There is also a fixed yearly increase of 4%. We have also signed an amendment to the lease to allow for an option to lease the building for an additional five years. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The following is an update of developments in the previously disclosed litigation involving Innovative Medical Services filed in the Circuit Court of Pinellas County, Florida by Zedburn Corporation, against us for breach of contract in October 1997. The breach of contract alleged was for payment of fees for Mr. David Reitz's and Mr. Steven Durland's services of arranging a public offering of our common stock. We have filed counterclaims based upon the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) Act against David Reitz, Zedburn Corporation, Capital Development Group, Steven Durland and other defendants. It is our position that Mr. Reitz and others perpetrated a scheme to defraud us of cash fees and securities in connection with purported services of arranging a public offering of our common stock. In October 1997, Mr. Reitz and Zedburn filed for protection under the Federal bankruptcy laws. In August 1998, Mr. Reitz voluntarily dismissed his bankruptcy and as a result thereof we have named Mr. Reitz as a defendant to our counterclaims. 11 We believe that the defendants had perpetrated similar schemes against other parties. We also believe we have substantially completed discovery and complied compelling evidence to prove our claims. Several of the Defendants filed Motions to Dismiss our counterclaims. A hearing on the Motions was held on October 1, 1998. Certain of the Motions were granted pending our amendment of our Counterclaim. We amended our Counterclaims in accordance with the judge's rulings. Certain Defendants filed second Motions to Dismiss the amended Counterclaims. A hearing on these latest motions was held in March 1999, before a different judge than the judge who ruled on the first motions. On April 20, 1999, Orders were entered granting the Defendants' Motions to Dismiss. However these Orders did not state the basis for the Orders, nor was our legal counsel provided notice of the Orders or a copy of the new judge's correspondence offering a "formal ruling" upon request. In May 1999, we filed an Appeal of the Orders and Motions for Reconsideration based upon inconsistency of the Orders with the previous judge's rulings and the lack of notice to us. We intend to pursue a trial as soon as possible. In August 2001, the Court of Appeals reversed the trial court's ruling and reinstated our claim against the defendants with the exception of Innovative Medical Services' RICO action. We have neither accrued a liability in our financial statements regarding this litigation nor disclosed the matter in the footnotes thereof. We have not done so because we do not believe there is any merit to Mr. Reitz's claims and that the likelihood that we will realize a loss from these matters is believed remote. In addition, we believe that in the unlikely event that we settle, the amount of any such settlement would not be material to our financial statements. We have filed an action against John Woodard, former Vice President of Sales, in Superior Court in the State of California in April 2000. We alleged Mr. Woodard violated his non-competition/non-disclosure agreement and provided proprietary information, including information regarding our Fillmaster line of products and Fillmaster customer base, to Fresh Water Systems, Inc. We alleged the misappropriation of customer lists, equipment service and maintenance schedules, equipment data, business plans and research and development secrets. We are seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. We have also filed an action against Fresh Water Systems, Inc., Steven Norvell, Brian Folk and Eric Norvell in Superior Court in the State of California. The action was filed in August 2000 and amended in October 2000. We allege Fresh Water Systems and its officers and directors misappropriated trade secrets obtained from former employees of ours, engaged in unfair competition in violation of the California Unfair Practices Act, tortious interference with contractual relations, tortious interference with prospective business advantage, fraud, trade libel and conspiracy with regard to the Fillmaster line of products and Fillmaster customer base. We are seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. On April 12, 2001, NVID, International, Inc. filed a declaratory judgment action in the Circuit Court of Pinellas County, Florida against Innovative Medical Services and ETI-H2O, Inc. The lawsuit sought a judicial declaration that the Manufacturing, Licensing and Distribution Agreement, dated March 26, 2000 between us, NVID, International, Inc. and ETI-H2O did not constitute a binding contract and seeks unspecified damages. The lawsuit did not challenge the binding effect of the Standard Manufacturing Agreements dated November 30, 1998 and September 17, 1999 between NVID, International, Inc. and ETI-H2O and the November 24, 1999 License Agreement between us and NVID, International, Inc. After removing the case from Pinellas County Circuit Court to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida and filing a Motion to Dismiss in May 2001, we filed and were granted a Petition to Compel Arbitration in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California in July 2001. On November 30, 2001, we settled the dispute with NVID. Under the terms of the agreement, NVID dismissed its case against us and assigned the Axenohl patent to us. In return, NVID receives 700,000 shares of our common stock and 5% of our gross Axenohl sales until March 2018, the end of the life of the patent. As the sole owner of the patent, we control the granting of rights to market and distribute Axenohl and related products. ETI-H2O, our wholly owned subsidiary, retains sole manufacturing rights. As part of the settlement agreement, we have entered into non-exclusive marketing agreements for Axenohl with Watertronics, Ltd., for the United Kingdom and Aqua Biotech S.A. de C.V. for the Republic of Mexico. In addition, Innovative Medical Services reaffirmed the exclusive right of Sistecam, S.A. to manufacture and market Axenohl for sale in Costa Rica for the duration of the patent. 12 On August 2, 2001, Innovative Medical Services and Eckerd Corporation settled the previously reported litigation. We had filed an action against Eckerd Corporation in Superior Court in the State of California in August 2000, in which we alleged Eckerd Corporation had not paid for Fillmaster products ordered by and shipped to Eckerd pharmacies. Executives of both companies determined it was in their mutual best interest to avoid the costs and risks associated with litigation and settle the dispute. The terms of the settlement include a payment to Innovative Medical Services by Eckerd of a compromised amount of the claim and a commitment by Innovative Medical Services to supply product to Eckerd. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matters were submitted to shareholders in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS (1) Market Information: Innovative Medical Services' common stock is traded on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market under the symbol "PURE". (2) High and Low Bid Prices: The following table sets forth high and low bid prices for each fiscal quarter, as reported by NASDAQ, for the last two fiscal years. Such quotations represent inter-dealer prices without retail mark-ups, mark-downs, or commissions and, accordingly, may not represent actual transactions. Fiscal 2001 Fiscal 2000 Quarter Ended High Low Quarter Ended High Low ------------------------------------- -------------------- --------- ----------- July 31, 2001 $2.68 $2.52 July 31, 2000 $1.969 $1.250 April 30, 2001 $1.81 $1.75 April 30, 2000 $4.188 $1.594 January 31, 2001 $4.032 $3.75 January 31, 2000 $6.875 $1.375 October 31, 2000 $2.70 $2.21 October 31, 1999 $4.188 $1.500 (3) Security Holders: As of October 19, 2001, we had approximately 115 holders of record of our common stock. This does not include beneficial owners holding common stock in street name. The closing price per share on October 25, 2001 was $2.25. (4) Dividend Plans: We have paid no common stock cash dividends and have no current plans to do so. In January 2000, we declared a dividend in kind of Nutripure.com common stock. The record date and distribution date were to be set following completion of the registration of Nutripure.com as a reporting issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In October 2000, the Board of Directors of Innovative Medical Services determined that in light of adverse market conditions for solely internet-based enterprises, a public market for Nutripure.com common stock may not be viable. Therefore, the Board amended its declaration of a Nutripure.com dividend to a dividend of Innovative Medical Services' common stock. On November 20, 2000, we distributed one share of Innovative Medical Services' common stock for every fifty shares held of record on November 6, 2000 with fractional shares rounded up to the nearest whole share. 13 (5) Preferred Stock: There are no shares of preferred stock presently outstanding. 14 ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations Fiscal 2001 vs. Fiscal 2000 During the quarter, we began to realize revenues from multiple product lines in our different divisions. In order to be more informative regarding distribution of revenues, discussion of revenues will be in terms of our water treatment, silver ionization and pesticide divisions. Revenues of $2,409,700 in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2001 were 45% higher than the $1,661,500 in revenues reported for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2000. The increase was due to increases in revenues in all of our company divisions. Water treatment division sales were $2,086,100, silver ionization division sales were $320,300 and pesticide division sales were $32,200. Currently, water dealer program sales consist mostly of sales of other manufacturers' products to independent dealers. Revenue is recognized on sales to dealers as shipped since we currently do not sell to third party customers of the dealers. Revenues of silver ion and pesticide products are recognized on shipment where the sale is made F.O.B. shipping point. Gross profit for the year ended July 31, 2001 was $1,047,100 versus $564, 000 in 2000. Gross profit percentage of 43% in 2001 was higher versus 34% in 2000. The increase in gross profit percentage was largely due to higher margins associated with our pesticide and silver ion technology product lines. Net loss for the year ended July 31, 2001 was $1,782,200 versus net loss of $2,384,100 for the same period in 2000. During the year, General and Administrative expenses increased 1% or $18,000 from $1,772,500 in fiscal 2000 to $1,790,500 in fiscal 2001. Selling expense increased approximately $186,700, or 31%, from $595,100 in 2000 to $781,800 in 2001 because of increased costs associated with development of marketing materials, hiring of additional sales personnel, trade shows and product launches for the Nutripure dealer program, and the silver ion and pesticide divisions. In addition to the ongoing expansion of the water dealer program, distribution of our other products in the Water Treatment Division continues to grow. A competitor in the industry, Freshwater Systems, had a significant effect on our revenues in fiscal year 2000, but our sales have begun to recover. Fillmaster system sales increased 6% from fiscal year 2000 to 2001, and Fillmaster replacement filter sales increased 24% from fiscal year 2000 and 2001. Although the market for our pharmacy products is maturing in that there is a decreasing number of pharmacy chains that do not have water filtration products, and that we have sold systems to most major chains, Fillmaster sales to additional chain pharmacies are steady, as are replacement filter sales to existing customers. The focus for further Fillmaster sales will be on incremental and upgrade sales to individual pharmacies within current chain accounts, although we are still actively pursuing Fillmaster sales to remaining chains. We work to retain Fillmaster customers with our Customer Service Plan 2000, a multi-year service and warranty contract. Fillmaster customers that subscribe to our Customer Service Plan have contracted to continue purchasing; otherwise, customers do not have an obligation to continue historic purchasing patterns. Although retail sales of Nutripure 2000 and Nutripure Sport Bottles comprise only 11% of Water Treatment Division Sales, we continue to receive and fulfill reorders and new orders. In addition to retail sales, we are conducting a direct mail program with these products. In October 2000, we launched our Nutripure Dealer Program. Revenues from the program began in the third quarter and continue to ramp up as we work to sign up new dealers to the program. We partnered with Automated Payment Services ("APS"), and MBNA to strengthen and streamline the financing program and administration of the Nutripure dealer program. Under the unique Nutripure program, independent water treatment dealers may now offer credit to all prospective customers because the Nutripure program offers competitive, risk-based interest rates. In addition, through APS, dealers can obtain real-time processing and approval information online for their customers. 15 In January 2001, we announced the acquisition of a new, non-toxic pesticide technology. The acquisition was completed in April 2001 for approximately $160,000. RoachX is the first product to launch, and during the second half of the year, we focused on gaining distribution to more than 40,000 commercial pest control companies through national wholesalers. The commercial industry provides larger dollar volume potential and select and controlled distribution. During the second half of the year, we began receiving purchase orders and shipping RoachX across the United States. The national kickoff will take place at the National Pest Management Association meeting in New Orleans in October 2001. In March 2001, we signed a five-year contract to provide Axenohl to Dodo & Company, a Korean cosmetics manufacturer and marketer. Under the contract, Dodo & Company will purchase approximately $1.2 million dollars of product from us over five years. In addition to the purchase price, we will receive a royalty on sales of the Axen-containing products. We anticipate that, over the five years, the revenues from Dodo & Company cosmetics royalties will exceed $5 Million. In addition to sales to Dodo cosmetics, other recent sales of Axenohl have been to companies in South Korea for testing purposes. Regulatory clearances have not yet been issued in South Korea. Liquidity and Capital Resources Fiscal 2001 vs. 2000 From inception through July 31, 2001, we have financed our operations primarily through our initial public offering in August of 1996, by a subsequent private placement in March of 2000, and by other smaller private placement stock sales. We have operated without long-term debt and have no plans to obtain long-term financing in the next twelve months. We believe that sales from our new product lines will not provide sufficient capital resources to sustain operations and fund product development until fiscal year 2001/2002. In the short term, we expect to raise capital through equity sales as necessary to fund future growth until we operate above the break-even point. We continually evaluate opportunities to sell additional equity or debt securities, or obtain credit facilities from lenders to strengthen our financial position. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2001, our current assets to liabilities ratio decreased from 5.02 to 3.15. Current assets decreased $883,000 from $2,794,400 to $1,911,400. Current assets at July 31, 2001 include a decrease of $914,200 in cash and cash equivalents and a decrease in restricted cash of $204,900 which was pledged against a line of credit which was paid off during the year. Accounts receivable increased $159,400 on increased sales volume. Inventories decreased $85,100 from $796,100 in fiscal 2000 to $711,000 in fiscal 2001 which reflects a changing product mix and more efficient purchasing. Noncurrent assets increased by $734,900 during the year mainly due to an increase in Patents and Licenses of $713,400. Current liabilities increased $50,600 from $556,300 to $606,900. The increase in current liabilities was the net result of an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $261,200 and a payoff of a line of credit of $210,600. Our liquidity is unaffected by the financing program offered to participating dealers in the Nutripure water dealer program. We receive funds from our primary lender and disperse the funds to the dealer, less a commission charged by us, upon completion of the contract. The primary lender disperses funds to us. We record a liability when the funds are received and relief of liability when funds are dispersed, and we do not retain liability on the credit extended. Cash flows used from operations were $1,108,500 in fiscal year 2001 and $1,311,900 in 2000. For fiscal year 2001 cash flows used in investing activities included $40,300 for the purchase of machinery and equipment and $621,100 for the purchase of patents and licenses. In fiscal 2000 cash flows used in investing activities included $503,100 for the purchase of machinery and equipment and for website development and $57,100 for the purchase of patents and licenses. Also, we incurred $230,000 and $148,700 in deferred acquisition costs during fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000 respectively. Cash flows from financing activities were $1,085,700 in fiscal 2001 and $3,120,100 in fiscal 2000. Financing activities for the current year included a decrease of $210,600 in notes payable. Cash flows from financing activities during the year included the following common stock transactions: 16 1. A $250,000 private placement in October 2000 in which we issued 94,340 shares of common stock to six investors at $2.65 per Unit. 2. A $250,002 private placement in January 2001 in which we issued 83,334 shares of common stock to six investors at $3.00 per Unit. Each Unit contained one share of common stock and a warrant to acquire an additional share of common stock for $4.00 per share up to January 28, 2003. 3. A $225,000 private placement in April 2001 in which we issued 150,000 shares of common stock to four investors at $1.50 per Unit. As part of this registration we also issued $200,000 of convertible debentures at 10% interest due July 31, 2001. The holders of this debenture are entitled to convert all or any amount over $10,000 of principal face amount and accrued interest into Units each consisting of one share of Common Stock and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant. The conversion price for each Unit shall equal 80% of the average closing bid price for the five trading days immediately preceding the receipt of Notice of Conversion. The debentures were converted to common stock on July 31, 2001. 4. In addition, approximately $245,135 was received from exercise of outstanding stock options. In the prior year, cash flows from financing activities were $3,120,100, which included $3,355,600 received through private placements of IMS and Nutripure.com. The total decrease in cash and cash equivalents for 2001 was $914,200 as compared to an increase of $1,099,300 during the same period in 2000. Future Outlook We believe that, during fiscal year 2001, we successfully transitioned from our niche pharmacy market into other, broader markets with our expanded water treatment division and our new bioscience division. Although our Fillmaster products still comprised the majority of our sales in 2001, we believe that will change in the coming fiscal year. Looking ahead, we see a year of continued growth in the water treatment division as the Nutripure Dealer program fully develops and sales of our retail water filtration products continue to grow. We also see the bioscience division growing in the coming year. We have focused the sales efforts of our pesticide technologies on the commercial pesticide industry to take advantage of key market opportunities. We have earned the support of and are selling RoachX through Vopak (formerly Van, Waters & Rogers) and members of the Speckoz group of nine regional independent wholesalers. Based upon these distributors' representations to us and upon their own websites and promotional materials, we believe them to be the largest distributors of pesticide products in the United States. Other than purchase orders, we do not have written agreements with the distributors. We believe in the coming year RoachX will become an industry leading technology in cockroach control. This fall we plan to formally launch three new products from this division: AntX(TM), our latest development in pesticide technology, CleanKill(TM), the Axen-based hard surface disinfectant for the pest control industry, and ProChoice(TM) caulk for pest control operators. We have submitted for and anticipate receiving EPA approval for AntX. CleanKill is approved by the EPA as an additional brand name of Axen. We repackage an NSF, USDA and FDA approved food-grade silicone caulk as our ProChoice product. We believe adding sales of these products to the already climbing RoachX revenues will have a very material positive effect on revenues in the coming fiscal year. 17 Although we think that the pesticide technologies will have the most immediate material impact on revenues in the coming year, we believe that the silver ion technologies will ultimately become the largest revenue generator for Innovative Medical Services. We intend not only to sell our own Axen-based products, like CleanKill, but also to sell Axen as an additive to other manufacture's products, like Dodo Cosmetics' acne-fighting product line. We believe that the innumerable applications for a non-toxic, tasteless, odorless, highly effective antimicrobial agent present an outstanding market opportunity for our Axenohl products. The investment necessary to pursue regulatory approval for Axenohl will be significant, but as additional US and international approvals for Axenohl uses are received, we expect revenues to develop quickly. 18 Independent Accountants' Report Board of Directors Innovative Medical Services We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for Innovative Medical Services and Consolidated Subsidiaries as of July 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, statement of accumulated deficits and cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2001 and July 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements, referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Innovative Medical Services and Consolidate Subsidiaries as of July 31, 2001 and July 31, 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2001 and July 31, 2000, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. /s/ Miller and McCollom MILLER AND MCCOLLOM 4350 Wadsworth Boulevard, Suite 300 Wheat Ridge, Colorado October 19, 2001 CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS

Medical Services Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements See Independent Accountants' Report Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization and Business Activity Innovative Medical Services was incorporated in San Diego, California on August 24, 1992. The Company was organized with the purpose of manufacturing, marketing, and selling the Fillmaster, a unique and proprietary pharmaceutical water purification and dispensing product. The Company is fully operational, with more than 15,000 customers in all fifty states, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Europe. The Company has expanded research and development efforts in order to further develop its product line to include an additional 8 proprietary pharmacy-related efficiency tools. In October of 1998, the Company purchased the assets of Export Company of America, Inc. (EXCOA), a privately held Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based distributor of disposable medical, dental and veterinary supplies. The major asset of this company was its 45% interest in Ampromed Comercio Importacao E Exportacao Ltda (AMPROMED), a Rio de Janeiro-based import company that sells medical, dental and veterinary supplies and water filtration products to practitioners, retail outlets and government agencies. The Company acquired the remaining 55% interest in AMPROMED from a private individual. To facilitate this transaction the Company has formed EXCOA Nevada, a 100% owned subsidiary of Innovative Medical Services. This company was incorporated in Nevada. A 99% interest in AMPROMED is held by EXCOA Nevada, with the remaining 1% of AMPROMED being owned by Innovative Medical Services. These business combinations were accounted for using the purchase method. The Company incurred $1,091,393 of acquisition costs for these two entities all of which was paid in cash. The majority of the purchase price was advanced to the previous owners in fiscal year 1998 and recorded as deferred acquisition costs until the purchase was concluded. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are as follows: Assets: Accounts Receivable $ 32,500 Inventory 58,217 Fixed Assets 49,083 Customer List 360,000 Licenses 354,961 Goodwill 261,322 ------- Total Assets 1,116,083 Liabilities Accounts Payable 24,690 ------ Equity $ 1,091,393 =========== The above listed goodwill of $261,322 and customer list of $360,000 were being amortized over a period of forty (40) years. The licenses are being amortized over fifteen (15) years. The value of these assets and the amortization periods were reassessed at July 31, 2000 and adjusted as described in Note 16. In December 1999, the Company formed NUTRIPURE.COM as a wholly owned subsidiary, incorporated in the state of Nevada. NUTRIPURE.COM is an e-commerce web supersite providing consumers a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, nutritional supplements, homeopathic remedies and natural products. In addition to products, the website offers comprehensive health and wellness information in an easy-to-access, intuitive reference format. The website will also present the Nutripure line of water filtration systems. In November 2000, Innovative Medical Services acquired 100% of the stock of ETIH2O, Inc., a Florida corporation, for 56,381 shares of IMS stock valued at $140,953 ($2.50 per share). The transaction was recorded using the purchase method of accounting. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are as follows: Assets: Notes Receivable $ 33,655 Inventories 32,077 Equipment 16,932 Licensing & Distribution Rights 118,324 ---------- Total Assets 200,988 Liabilities: Notes Payable - IMS 60,035 ---------- Equity $ 140,953 ========== Assets and liabilities were valued at historical cost and no goodwill was recorded in the transaction. Results of operations of ETIH2O Inc. are included in the current period. The acquired entity was a startup company, if results of operations were included in prior periods and shown as though the companies had been combined at the beginning of the period, it would not have a material affect on the consolidated financial statements of Innovative Medical Services. The Company merged ETI-H2O with a newly formed Nevada corporation of similar name and dissolved the Florida corporation. ETI-H2O, a privately held technology corporation, developed Axenohl and is responsible for processing, and production of Axenohl and Axen. ETI-H2O is also responsible for all supervision of all research, studies, data and quality control of the Axenohl/Axen product line. In April 2001, the Company completed the purchase of the entire right, title and interest in and to specific patent-pending boric acid pesticide technologies and all rights, title and interest in and to all patents for RoachX from a private individual, for approximately $160,000 in cash. The owner/inventor accepted a position with the Company to serve as Senior Scientist and to head the Company's new Pest Management Division. The employment agreement included bonuses at certain revenue thresholds of RoachX sales. The owner/inventor of RoachX died unexpectedly in June of 2001. Because the initial payment was primarily for the patents and for the EPA licenses, it is included in Patents and Licenses and is amortized over a period of 17 years. RoachX is a pesticide technology containing a familiar active ingredient, boric acid, bound to a masking agent and combined with an attractant fragrance and proteins in a colloidal suspension. The patent-pending time-released formulation protects the boric acid from dissolving in water and maintains the integrity of the pesticide to obtain maximum killing effect. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying financial statements include the consolidated accounts of Innovative Medical Services and its subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. Previously published financial statements have been restated to write down certain intangible assets by $505,433. The net loss for the year ended July 31, 2000 increased to $2,384,052 from $1,745,430 that was previously reported. An explanation of the detail of the adjustment is included in Note 16. Revenue Recognition Generally, the company recognizes income based upon concluded arrangements with customers and all events have occurred by delivery or performance. Certain income is recognized upon shipment where the sale is made f.o.b. shipping point. Customer acceptance provisions and installation procedures accompanying delivery are minor in nature, and the Company has not experienced any material expense in satisfying customer satisfaction. Revenue is recognized on sales to dealers and to pharmacists as shipped, since the Company does not sell to third party customers of the dealers and pharmacies. Software upgrades are provided free to customers resulting from implants included in products which they purchase. In a minor amount of e-commerce business conducted to date, sales are recorded on a gross basis resulting from credit card sales, the Company does not charge the customer until the product is shipped and the Company has been billed. The Company began its program of providing financing to independent dealers in fiscal year ending July 31, 2001. Currently the financing is for equipment of other manufacturers and not the Company's products. The Company receives funds from its primary lender and disperses the funds to the dealer, less a commission charged by the Company, upon completion of the contract. The Company records a liability when the funds are received and relief of liability when funds are dispersed. The Company is recording only the commissions earned as revenues. Software Development Costs The Company capitalizes software development costs incurred to develop certain assets in accordance with Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. Certain costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software. Costs for general and administrative, overhead, maintenance and training, are expensed as incurred. To date $207,707 of costs related to the Nutripure.com website have been capitalized under SOP 98-1 and are being amortized over a period of 3 years. Stock-Based Compensation The Company follows FASB Statement No. 123, 'Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation' ('FAS 123'). The provisions of FAS 123 allow companies to either expense the estimated fair value of stock options or to continue to follow the intrinsic value method set forth in APB Opinion 25, 'Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees' ('APB 25') but disclose the pro forma effects on net income (loss) had the fair value of the options been expensed. The Company has elected to continue to apply APB 25 in accounting for its stock option plans (Note 10). For awards that generate compensation expense as defined under APB 25, the Company calculates the amount of expenses and recognizes the expense over the vesting period of the award. In March 2000, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, 'Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation' ('FIN 44'), which contains rules designed to clarify the application of APB 25. FIN 44 became effective on July 1, 2000 at which time the Company adopted it. The impact of the adoption of FIN 44 was not material to the earnings or financial position of the Company. Research and Development Research and development costs that have no alternative future uses are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses. The total amount charged to Research and Development expense was $292,964 and $114,756 in the fiscal years ended July 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Depreciation Method The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The useful lives of property, plant, and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation are: Computers and equipment 7.0 years Furniture and fixtures 10.0 years Website 3.0 years Vehicle 5.0 years to 7.0 years Leasehold improvements are being depreciated over the life of the lease, which is equal to 120 months. Depreciation is computed on the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System for tax purposes. Amortization The cost of patents acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lives of 17 years. Licenses which include the Ampromed Limitada, the right of Nutripure to distribute and disseminate certain information through its website, and costs to acquire EPA approval on Axen and Axenohl, are being amortized on a straight line basis over periods ranging from 15 to 20 years. Website development costs are being amortized on the straight-line basis over 3 years. Amortization expense for the years ended July 31, 2001 and July 31, 2000 was $97,000 and $185,700, respectively. Long-Lived Assets In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets will be reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that may suggest impairment. The Company has recognized impairment of the assets purchased with the Ampromed acquisition and has reassessed the value of certain assets as described in Note 16. Should there be additional impairment in the future, the Company will measure the amount of the impairment based on undiscounted expected future cash flows from the impaired assets. The cash flow estimates that will be used will contain management's best estimates, using appropriate and customary assumptions and projections at the time. Inventory Cost Method Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined by the Average Cost method and net realizable value. Inventories at July 31 consisted of: 2001 2000 ------------ ------------ Finished Goods $ 246,374 $ 108,528 Work in Progress 150,815 180,770 Raw Materials 313,829 507,410 ----------- ------------ $ 711,018 $ 796,136 =========== ============ Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of financial instruments, consisting primarily of the line of credit, is based on interest rates available to the Company and comparison to quoted prices. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value. Advertising and Promotional Costs Cost of advertising and promotion are expensed as incurred or at the first-time advertising and promotion takes place. Such costs were $276,492 and $197,908 for the years ended July 31, 2001 and July 31, 2000, respectively. Deferred Acquisition Costs During the process of evaluating certain companies for acquisition, the Company expended $230,000 and $202,542 in fiscal years ended July 31, 2001 and July 31, 2000, respectively. These costs were capitalized and will be reclassified if the acquisitions are successful as a cost of the investment or expensed in the future if the acquisitions are not successful. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share The Company adopted FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share ("SFAS 128"), which is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997. Entities that have only common stock outstanding are required to present basic earnings per share amounts. All other entities are required to present basic and diluted per share amounts. Diluted per share amounts assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase the income per common share from continuing operations. As required by SFAS 128, earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding for the year. Following is a reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding with the number of shares used in the computations of loss per common share: For the Years Ended July 31, 2001 July 31, 2000 -------------- ------------ Shares outstanding 6,954,699 5,942,903 Weighted average number of shares actually outstanding 6,420,926 5,056,141 Stock Options 1,815,625 1,214,309 Warrants 1,797,500 1,798,125 ------------ ----------- Total weighted average shares 10,034,051 8,068,575 ------------ ----------- Net income (loss) before cumulative Change in accounting principle $ (1,782,224) $(2,463,949) Cumulative change in accounting principle -- 79,896 ------------ ----------- Net income (loss) $ (1,782,224) $(2,384,053) ============ =========== Basic net earnings (loss) per share Net income (loss) per common share before change in accounting principle $ (0.28) $ (0.49) Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle -- 0.02 ------------ ----------- Net income (loss) per common share $ (0.28) $ (0.47) ============ =========== Diluted net earnings (loss) per share Net income (loss) per common share before change in accounting principle $ (0.28) $ (0.49) Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle -- 0.02 ------------ ----------- Net income (loss) per common share $ (0.28) $ (0.47) ============ =========== Potential common stock instruments at July 31, 2001, which include 1,815,625 stock options and 1,797,500 warrants, are included in the loss per share calculation for fiscal year ended July 31, 2001. Potential common stock instruments at July 31, 2000, which include 1,214,309 stock options and 1,798,125 warrants, are included in the loss per share calculation for fiscal year ended July 31, 2000. On August 8, 2001, the warrants expired without exercise. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June of 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133") "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at their value. This statement, as amended by SFAS 137, is effective for financial statements for all fiscal quarters to all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its results of operation, financial position, or cash flows as the Company currently does not engage in any derivative or hedging activities. In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141") and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 requires all business combinations to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and is effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment under certain circumstances, and written off when impaired, rather than being amortized as previous standards required. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Early application is permitted for entities with fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001 provided that the first interim period financial statements have not been previously issued. The adoption of SFAS 141 did not have a material effect on the Company's operating results or financial condition. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 142 on its operating results and financial condition. Income Taxes The current provisions for income taxes of $1,600 for fiscal year ended July 31, 2001 and $800 for July 31, 2000 is the minimum franchise tax paid to the State of California regardless of income or loss. At July 31, 2001, the Company has financial, federal, and California tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $6,917,000, and $6,294,000, and $2,958,000, respectively. At July 31, 2000, the Company has financial, federal, and California tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5,589,000. $5,071,000, and $2,374,000, respectively. The difference between the financial reporting and the federal tax loss carryforward is primarily due to accrued expenses and valuation allowances reported in the financials but not deductible for tax purposes. The difference between federal and California tax loss carryforwards is primarily due to the fifty percent limitation on California loss carryforwards. The federal tax loss carryforwards will begin expiring in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011, unless previously utilized and will completely expire in fiscal year ended July 31, 2020. The California tax loss carryforwards will begin expiring in fiscal year ended July 31, 2001, unless previously utilized and will completely expire in fiscal year ended July 31. 2010. The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, beginning in fiscal year ended July 31, 1993. The adoption had no impact on 1993 results. In accordance with this new standard, the Company has recorded total deferred tax assets of $ 1,263,000 and $ 1,263,000 for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Realization of these deferred tax assets, which relate to operating loss carryforwards and timing differences, is dependant on future earnings. The timing and amount of future earnings are uncertain and therefore, the valuation allowance had been established. The increase in the valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2001 was $ 83,000. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets are as follows: July 31 July 31 2001 2000 ----------- ----------- Net operating loss carryforward $ 1,222,000 $ 1,107,000 Depreciation and amortization 0 0 Accrued expenses and calculation allowances 36,000 71,000 Other 5,000 2000 ----- ---- Total deferred tax assets 1,263,000 1,180,000 Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets (1,263,000) (1,180,000) ----------- ----------- Net deferred tax assets $ 0 $ 0 ========= ========== Note 2. Cash and Cash Equivalents The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company maintains cash balances at several financial institutions. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. At July 31, 2001 and July 31, 2000, the Company's cash and cash equivalents is represented by $207,092 and $1,121,316, respectively, in cash or checking accounts. Note 3. Restricted Cash At July 31, 2001, the Company had no restricted cash. At July 31, 2000, the Company's restricted cash consisted of a certificate of deposit of $205,574. These certificates of deposit were held by a bank, as security for a line of credit with the same bank (Note 6). Note 4. Due from Officers and Employees At July 31, 2001, notes receivable of $66,561 represents amounts due from officers and $173,440 represents amounts due from employees. At July 31, 2000, notes receivable of $162,793 represents amounts due from officers and $63,936 represent amounts due from employees. Due from officers at July 31, 2001 consisted of a loan to the president of $18,379 and a loan to the chief financial officer of $48,182 due and payable at July 31, 2002. These were renewals and changes of prior year notes to $117,339 and $45,454, respectively, that were due at July 31, 2001. All notes receivable are due and payable within one year. The carrying value of the notes, based on the terms at which those same loans would be made currently, approximate their fair value. All notes in excess of $10,000 have interest accrued at 6% Note 5. Property, Plant and Equipment The following is a summary of property, plant, and equipment - at cost, less accumulated depreciation: July 31, 2001 July 31, 2000 -------------- -------------- Computers and equipment $ 1,061,197 $ 927,257 Furniture and fixtures 103,855 100,630 Website 207,916 207,916 Vehicle 50,985 50,985 Leasehold improvements 307,606 304,623 --------------- ------------- 1,731,559 1,591,411 Less: accumulated depreciation and amortization 828,487 535,159 --------------- ------------- Total $ 903,072 $ 1,056,252 --------------- ------------- Depreciation expense charged to general and administrative expense for the years ended July 31, 2001 and July 31, 2000 was $193,477 and $159,624, respectively.

Commitments The company leased office and warehouse facilities under an operating lease that expired on December 31, 1996. On May 14, 1996, the Company entered into a new operating lease agreement for sixty-five months commencing on July 1, 1996. The rent payment portion of the lease is for sixty-three months, which allows for an initial building improvement period of two months. The monthly rental for the 11,255 square foot facility is $0.69 per square foot plus $0.14 per square foot for maintenance of common areas. There is also a fixed yearly increase of 4%. The company has also signed an amendment to the lease to allow for an option to lease the building for an additional five years. The company made improvements to the new building in the amount of approximately $307,000. The rental expense recorded in general and administrative expenses for the years ended July 31, 2001 and July 31, 2000 was $133,968 and $98,835, respectively. Future minimum rental payments required for each of the 5 succeeding years assuming exercise of the option are as follows: Year Ended July 31 Amount 2002 $139,327 2003 $144,900 2004 $150,696 2005 $156,724 2006 $162,993 Note 8.

No options to acquire shares under this Plan were outstanding as of July 31, 2001 and there are 500,000 shares remaining under this Plan for which options may be granted. The Plans are administered by a Committee of the Board of Directors or the entire Board. The exercise price of options granted under any of the Plans must be at or above the fair market value for the common stock at the date of grant. The Company estimates a fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123). In accordance with SFAS 123, the Company has chosen to continue to account for employee stock-based compensation utilizing the intrinsic value method. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Also, in accordance with SFAS 123, the Company has provided footnote disclosure with respect to stock-based employee compensation. The cost of stock-based employee compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period. The value of the stock based award is determined using a pricing model whereby compensation cost is the excess of the fair value of the stock as determined by the model at grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company accounts for non-employee stock based compensation by establishing a fair value for stock options granted. Compensation cost is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the Company's stock over the amount the non-employee must pay to acquire the stock and is recognized over the anticipated service period. The effect of applying FAS 123 on the years ended July 31, 2001 and 2000 pro forma net loss as stated below is not necessarily representative of the effects on reported net loss for future years due to, among other things, the vesting period of the stock options and the fair value of additional stock options in future years. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans been determined based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under the plans consistent with the methodology prescribed under FAS 123, the Company's net loss in the years ended July 31, 2001 and 2000 would have been approximately $2,420,628 and $3,292,510 or $(0.38) per share and $(0.66) per share, respectively, on a diluted basis. The fair value of the options granted during the years ended July 31, 2001 and 2000 are estimated at $1.22 per share and $1.84 per share, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used for grants in 2001 and 2000; no dividend yield, volatility of 98.79% and 124%, respectively; a risk-free interest rate of 5.50% and 5.50%, respectively and an expected life of 3.51 year from date of vesting.

Pension Plan The Company participates in a Small SEP program under which the employer makes contributions to a SEP, which includes a salary reduction arrangement (SARSEP). Employees who participate in the SARSEP may elect to have the employer: (a) make contributions to the SEP on their behalf, or (b) pay them cash. A salary reduction arrangement may be used only in years in which the SEP meets requirements that the IRS may impose to ensure distribution of excess contributions. Annual contributions of an employer under a SEP are excluded from the participant's gross income. No employer contributions were made during the fiscal years ending July 31, 2000 and July 31, 2001. Note 12. Credit Risk and Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company markets its products to numerous customers in various geographic regions, thereby spreading its credit risk related to receivables. See Note 2 Cash and Cash Equivalents as to the discussion of credit risks concerning cash equivalents. The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and payables approximate fair value because of the short maturity, generally less than three months, of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company's long-term debt approximates fair value since the current borrowing rates available for financing are similar in terms. Note 13. Cumulative Change in Accounting Principle During fiscal years 1999 and 2000, the Company incurred approximately $208,000 in development costs related to construction of the Nutripure.com website. These costs were originally expensed as incurred. In the accompanying financial statements, these costs have been retroactively capitalized and included in fixed assets at July 31, 2000 in compliance with SOP 98-1 (Statement of Position issued by the Accounting Standards Executive Committee). Of these costs, $79,900 were incurred in prior years and are shown as a change in accounting principle consistent with issued EITF No. 00-2 - Emerging Issues Task Force Issue titled: Accounting for Web Site Development Costs dated March 16, 2000. Note 14. Business Segment and Sales Concentrations In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 131, certain information is disclosed based on the way management organizes financial information for making operating decisions and assessing performance. In determining operating segments, the Company reviewed the current management structure reporting to the chief operating decision-maker ('CODM') and analyzed the reporting the CODM receives to allocate resources and measure performance. The Company's business activities are divided, managed and conducted in two basic business segments, the Water Treatment segment and the Bioscience segment. These two segments were determined by management based upon the inherent differences in the end use of the products, the inherent differences in the value added processes made by the Company, the differences in the regulatory requirements and the inherent differences in the strategies required to successfully market finished products. The Water Treatment segment includes Commercial Water treatment, Residential Retail products and the Nutripure Water Dealer program. Bioscience includes two new products, Axenohl (Silver Ion Technology) and RoachX (Pest Management). The Company plans to utilize multiple forms of analysis and control to evaluate the performance of the segments and to evaluate investment decisions. In general, gross margin and Earnings Before Interest Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) are deemed to be the most significant measurements of performance, although collection volumes and certain controllable costs also provide useful "early warning signs" of future performance. Because the Company has just recently changed to multiple segments, historical data on gross profit and income from operations is not available. However, the following is a summary of segment revenues at July 31, 2001: % % Total Fiscal Year End Total Fiscal Year End 2000 Sales 2001 Sales Water Treatment Division Commercial Water Treatment $1,698,900 71% $1,597,500 96% Residential Retail Water Treatment $190,800 8% $29,800 2% Nutripure Dealer Program $167,400 7% $34,200 2% Bioscience Division Silver Ion Technology $320,300 13% - - Pest Management Technology $32,300 1% - - ---------------- -------------- Total Revenues $2,409,700 $1,661,500 Significant customers primarily consisted of domestic retail chain pharmacies. Sales concentrations to major chain stores were approximately $1,294,600 and export sales were $390,100 for the year ended July 31, 2001. No customer accounted for more than 10% of consolidated sales. Note 15. Stock Dividend and Share Exchange In December 1999, Innovative Medical Services formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Nutripure.com, to capitalize on internet commerce opportunities focusing on health and wellness. Total authorized capitalization of the corporation was 50,000,000 shares of common stock at $.001 par value. The Company purchased 8,000,000 shares and the newly formed board of directors of the subsidiary purchased 900,000 shares all at par value. In February of 2000 the corporation raised $550,000 in a private placement of 1,100,000 at $0.50 per share. At this point the minority interest represented 20% of the outstanding common stock of the corporation. Minority interest payable and income from operations were first recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the quarter ended April 30, 2000. On October 24, 2000, the Company issued 183,337 shares of common stock valued at $550,011 ($3.00 per share) in exchange of 1,100,000 shares of Nutripure.com stock representing the 10% minority interest outstanding shares of Nutripure.com, which were originally purchased for $.50 cents per share. Management of Nutripure.com did not exchange shares. Shares held by Management were eliminated by a reverse split, effective March 16, 2001. In January 2000, Innovative Medical Services declared a dividend in kind of Nutripure.com common stock as the Company began the process to spin off Nutripure.com as a separate public company. The record date and distribution date were to be set following completion of the registration of Nutripure.com as a reporting issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Following the announcement of the dividend, however, adverse market conditions for solely internet-based ventures eroded Management's confidence in the viability of a public market for Nutripure.com common stock. Therefore, the Board amended its declaration of a Nutripure.com dividend to a dividend of Innovative Medical Services' common stock and the Company purchased the minority interest in Nutripure.com through an exchange of shares. The Company retains Nutripure.com as an operating division of Innovative Medical Services in order to minimize the substantial administrative expense associated with launching and operating a public company. On October 26, 2000, Innovative Medical Services announced that the Board of Directors voted to declare a dividend in kind of Innovative Medical Services' common stock. This common stock dividend was declared and distributed in lieu of the previously announced dividend of Nutripure.com shares. The Company distributed one share of Innovative Medical Services' common stock for every fifty shares held of record on November 6, 2000, with fractional shares rounded up to the nearest whole share, for a total of 121,961 shares. Note 16. Write Down of Impaired Assets And Change in Asset Lives Ampromed was purchased in October 1998 to enable the Company to take advantage of the lucrative markets for medical and dental supplies in Brazil and other South American countries and to later introduce and distribute its water purification products to these markets. Since the acquisition the economic conditions in the region have declined and implementation of the project has been delayed. The Company no longer has immediate plans to import medical and dental supplies into Brazil but believes, however, that Ampromed is a vital part of its plan to market and sell "Axenohl", RoachX and the Nutripure line of water treatment products. The Company believes there is considerable value in owning a Brazilian Limitada but has reassessed the value of the goodwill and the customer list it purchased. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of) requires an entity to review long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets when, among other factors, there is a change in the extent or manner in which an asset is to be used or when there is a significant change in the business climate that could affect the value of an asset. Because the Company suspended its plans to market medical and dental supplies in Brazil in May of 2000 it believes the Goodwill and Customer List assets should be written off, and the value of the Limitada license to do business in Brazil should be written down to what it would cost to acquire in today's market. This is estimated to be approximately $150,000 and is being amortized over its expected useful life of 15 years. At the date of acquisition of Ampromed the Company established amortization periods for the assets purchased at the maximum allowable life of 40 years. We now believe these estimated lives were too long and the life of the goodwill has been set at 5 years to reflect a more reasonable amortization expense under the circumstances and the uncertainty involved in commitments from a foreign government. Also, an analysis of the customer list based on original estimates indicates that a 6 year life is a more appropriate amortization period for this intangible asset. In addition, instead of the straight-line method, the Company has computed an accelerated method of amortization for the customer list based on an analysis of expected future cash flows at July 31, 1999 and July 31, 2000. The effect of this restatement is to increase General and Administrative Expense by an increase to amortization cost of $152,800 in the year ended July 31,1999. The effect of the restatement in the year ended July 31, 2000 is a write down of impaired asset charge of $505,400 and an increase in General and Administrative Expense by an increase to amortization cost of $133,200. Note 17. Subsequent Events On August 14, 2001, 20,000 options were exercised bringing the total outstanding shares of common stock to 6,974,699 as of October 29, 2001, the date of the Form 10KSB filing.

Other Arrangements 1996 Directors And Officers Stock Option Plan: On April 17, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved a Directors and Officers Stock Option Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to advance the business and development of the Company and its shareholders by affording to the Directors and Officers of the Company who are ineligible to participate in the above Incentive Stock Option Plan, the opportunity to acquire a propriety interest in the Company by the grant of Options to acquire shares of the Company's common stock. The Plan is administered by the entire Board of Directors. The Plan became effective on April 17, 1996 by the Board of Directors, was not subject to Shareholder approval and shall terminate on April 17, 2006. Subject to anti-dilution provisions, the Plan may issue Options to acquire up to 1,000,000 shares to Directors and Officers. The maximum number of shares subject to Options granted to any one Director or Officer shall not exceed 200,000 shares in any 12-month period. The exercise price for Options shall be set by the Board of Directors but shall not be for less than eighty-five (85%) of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. The period in which Options can be exercised shall be set by the Board of Directors not to exceed five years from the date of Grant. The Plan may be terminated, modified or amended by the Board of Directors. The Innovative Medical Services 1998 Directors And Officers Stock Option Plan: On December 19, 1998, the Company's Shareholders approved the Amended Innovative Medical Services 1998 Officers and Directors Stock Option Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to advance the business and development of the Company and its shareholders by affording to the Directors and Officers of the Company the opportunity to acquire a propriety interest in the Company by the grant of Options to acquire shares of the Company's common stock. The Innovative Medical Services 2001 Directors And Officers Stock Option Plan: On January 8, 2001, the Company's Shareholders approved the Innovative Medical Services 2001 Officers and Directors Stock Option Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to advance the business and development of the Company and its shareholders by affording to the Directors and Officers of the Company the opportunity to acquire a propriety interest in the Company by the grant of Options to acquire shares of the Company's common stock. The Options granted are not "Incentive Stock Options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The issuance of such non-qualified options pursuant to this Plan is not expected to be a taxable event for recipient until such time that the recipient elects to exercise the option whereupon the recipient is expected to recognize income to the extent the market price of the shares exceeds the exercise price of the option on the date of exercise. The Plans are administered by an Administrative Committee whom shall serve a one year term. The Administrative Committee is composed of the Board's Compensation/Administration Committee. Subject to anti-dilution provisions, each Plan may issue Options to acquire up to 2,000,000 shares to Directors and Officers. The exercise price for Options shall be set by the Administrative Committee but shall not be for less than the fair market value of the shares on the date the Option is granted. Fair market value shall mean the average of the closing price for ten consecutive trading days at which the Stock is listed in the NASDAQ quotation system ending on the day prior to the date an Option is granted. The period in which Options can be exercised shall be set by the Administrative Committee not to exceed five years from the date of Grant. Options granted to new executive officers or directors shall vest one year from date of appointment or election. Shares issuable under options granted to continuing officers or directors are immediately exercisable and vest upon exercise. The maximum number of shares subject to Options granted to any on Director of Officer shall not exceed 200,000 shares in any 12-month period. The Executive Officers and Directors of the Company are eligible to participate in the Plans. The Administrative Committee first granted the Executive Officers and Directors an option to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share in 1998. The Administrative Committee shall grant to individuals newly appointed as Executive Officers or as Directors, an option to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at fair market value. Upon each subsequent anniversary thereof, each such Officer and Director will receive an option to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at fair market value. The Plans also give the Administrative Committee discretion to award additional options.
