Item 1. Description of Business.
Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, E Med Future, Inc. manufactures and markets products designed to reduce accidental hypodermic needlestick injuries. Our primary product, NeedleZap®, completely disintegrates the sharp portion of the needle. According to the American Nursing Association, there are an estimated one million accidental needlesticks reported in the United States in the healthcare industry alone. We believe the applications for the product are far reaching, and include healthcare professionals, law enforcement and correctional personnel, veterinarians, military, clinical researchers, hospitality, and sanitation workers. NeedleZap® is designed to work within the parameters of recent OSHA needlestick mandates which require employers to take advantage of new technologies to prevent needlesticks in the workplace.
The Company was formed under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 14, 1990, but until 2003 we were a shell company with no significant operations other than seeking to identify an existing business to acquire. Trading in our stock was dependant on our acquisition of an operating business. On April 4, 2003, we participated in a merger in which we acquired E Med Future, Inc., our operating subsidiary. In connection with the transaction, we issued 19,850,000 unregistered shares of our common stock (95% of our then outstanding shares) to the former stockholders of E Med Future.
Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, we changed our corporate name from Micro-Economics, Inc. to E Med Future, Inc. In addition, our original directors resigned and were replaced by Robert J. Ochsendorf, D. Dane Donohue and Juan J. Perez. Our shares began trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol EMDF.OB on April 17, 2003. For additional information about the merger, please see the Report on Form 8-K dated April 4, 2003 that we filed with the SEC on April 11, 2003.
Our primary product is NeedleZap®, a revolutionary safety device intended to help reduce accidental needlestick injuries by disintegrating the sharp portion of a hypodermic needle. When a hypodermic needle is inserted into the unit, the patented electrode system disintegrates the needle in approximately two seconds at 2200° F.
In July 2003, we announced the beginning of clinical testing and market evaluation of the first extensions to the NeedleZap® product line which include a dental parking station and butterfly needle burner. We are presently in the process of obtaining patent protection for these new products. Because we lack sufficient funds to expedite the development of these products, both products remain in the development phase. We anticipate that both products will involve supplements to our existing FDA pre-market approval; therefore, introduction and timing of these products into the marketplace will be contingent on FDA approval.
1
The dental parking station is intended to provide a safer, temporary resting place for a hypodermic syringe. During a procedure, dentists often reuse a hypodermic needle on the same patient when additional anesthesia is required. Since the needle is not destroyed immediately after the initial use, dentists generally recap the needle or leave the needle exposed, increasing the risk of an accidental needlestick injury. The NeedleZap® unit sets directly on the dental parking station enabling the dentist to recap, or disintegrate, the hypodermic needle easily with one hand at the end of the procedure, and significantly reducing the risk of a needlestick injury.
The butterfly needle burner is intended to accommodate needles not secured to a hypodermic syringe. Butterfly needles are used primarily for IVs and kidney dialysis. Since the original NeedleZap® unit was intended to disintegrate hypodermic needles held by a syringe, the butterfly needle burner necessitated design modifications, including a change to the housing and repositioning of the electrode system.
On December 30, 2003, we acquired Medical Safety Technologies, Inc. from UTEK Corporation (AMEX:UTK), an innovative technology transfer company dedicated to building bridges between university developed technologies and commercial organizations. Medical Safety Technologies, or MSTI, holds the worldwide exclusive license to a patented invention, known as the Safe Receptacle for Sharps, that is designed to aid in the safe transport of sterile and used sharp medical instruments. This Emory University invention was developed to help reduce the possibility of needlestick injuries by maintaining medical instruments in an angled, accessible position while encasing their sharp edges. We are enthusiastic about adding the Safe Receptacle for Sharps device to our product line and believe that it is a complimentary technology to our NeedleZap® product. By expanding our future product line, we hope to bring added value to the sales and distribution channel we are building. However, we are not presently pursuing the sharps receptacle as management believes resources should be conserved for marketing the currently approved product.
In March 2006, we entered into a manufacturing and distribution agreement with One World Sourcing, LLC for the manufacture and distribution of the NeedleZap® device in the Peoples Republic of China. The contract calls for royalty payments on all sales of the device in China. Approvals have been secured for sale of the device in China. Additionally, approval of our patent for the NeedleZap® device in the Republic of China has been received and is expected to be finalized in June 2006. A prototype unit is to be furnished to us in May 2006 for testing and approval. Initial orders have been placed for deliver in the fall of 2006 subject to customer approval.
In December 2004, we appointed Moscow, Russia-based Actual Medical Supplies (AMS) our exclusive distributor of NeedleZap® products in the Russian Federation and the 14 other countries that make up the Commonwealth of Independent States. AMS has obtained a registration certificate from the Russian Federations Federal Service of Health Care and Social Development Control necessary to sell the NeedleZap® in Russia and has placed an order for 10,000 units. The Russian Federation alone has a population of 145 million people and we believe the Commonwealth of Independent States is a potentially significant market for our
2
products. The Russian Federation, Department of Health required an approval process for the product to be sold in Russia. That approval was granted on January 5, 2005 and is effective for ten years.
In July 2004 we entered into a manufacturing and distribution license agreement with Providers International LLC for the manufacture and distribution of the NeedleZap® device in the Peoples Republic of China and Australia. The contract called for a minimum royalty to be paid to us of $810,000 by December 31, 2004, which was not received. The agreement was terminated in August 2005 for non-performance by Providers International, Inc.
In April 2002, we entered into distribution contracts with American Health & Safety Products, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary, AHSP International L.L.C., which have representation in the United States, Europe, South America, Central America and Canada. AHSP informed us in March 2006 that they were discontinuing their business operations and the contract terminated pursuant to its terms.
In January 2004 the NeedleZap® device underwent extensive testing at Fort Drum, New York. We received the report and evaluation of the NeedleZap® in November 2004. The testing showed the device was suitable for brick and mortar type hospital settings, but changes to make the device more durable are necessary for field applications. Based on these test results, we immediately targeted the veteran hospitals as a potential market and will begin modifying the NeedleZap® to make it more durable for field applications. We were added to the VA schedule in November 2005.
Global Marketing Group, our distribution partner in Africa, is currently working with Ugandan-based Lily Pharmacy (U) Ltd. to market NeedleZap® to hospitals, clinics and pharmacies throughout Uganda. Since 1974, Lily has been importing pharmaceuticals and medical supplies for wholesale and retail distribution. Lily Pharmacy is not affiliated with Eli Lilly and Company. Lily Pharmacy has numerous marketing activities underway to expand the use of NeedleZap® in Uganda and Rwanda. In August 2004, four representatives of Global Marketing and E Med visited Uganda where the product has been in use in 22 hospitals for over one year. The feedback from these hospitals and the Public Health Department in Uganda has been positive. In a letter dated September 21, 2004, Dr. Mubiru, Director of Health Services in Kampala, Uganda stated that the NeedleZap® device provides the best solution the transmission of diseases through needlestick injuries. We believe Africa represents a large market potential for our product and have targeted several non-profit organizations to assist in funding the supply of product for Africa. In November 2004 we participated with Global Marketing in a presentation in Washington, D.C. to several African ambassadors and have received positive feedback on the NeedleZap®.
We entered into a license and distribution agreement with ITDevelopment Solutions, Inc. (IDS) granting IDS the exclusive right to manufacture, distribute and sell our NeedleZap® unit in Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates in September 2004. We cancelled the agreement on July 28, 2005 for IDSs non-performance.

In 2005, our research and development costs were $6,114 compared to $550 in 2004. We hope to increase our R&D budget in 2006. In addition, to supplement our own R&D efforts, we are working with other organizations to identify and develop improvements for the existing product line and new products that would be compatible with our existing product line for possible acquisition.
Patents and trademarks are critical in the medical device industry. We believe strongly in protecting our intellectual property and received final approval for our U.S patent in March 2006 in connection with our NeedleZap® product line, and have registered the NeedleZap trademark. Our Medical Safety Technologies subsidiarys Safe Receptacle for Sharps is also protected by a U.S. patent. We are in the process of amending our current patent application in the United States to include additional claims for our product. In 2004, our NeedleZap® patent was issued and published in the Peoples Republic of China. Final approval has been granted for our patent in the Peoples Republic of China effective June 22, 2006. We also rely upon trade secrets and proprietary know-how. We intend to aggressively enforce our intellectual property rights if necessary. However, our intellectual property rights may not provide us with any significant degree of protection from our competitors. Please turn to Competition below for additional information about competition in our business.
We do not believe that our products infringe on the intellectual property rights of others and we are not aware of anyone presently infringing on our rights. However, infringements that we are unaware of may exist now or may arise in the future. There has been substantial litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights in the medical device industry. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights or to defend E Med against claimed infringement of the rights of others. Any litigation would be costly and time consuming, and an adverse determination could subject us to significant liability or require us to seek licenses from third parties to allow us to continue to sell our products.
We acquired the NeedleZap® technology from NeedleZap Partners in exchange for shares of our stock and a royalty of $5.00 for every NeedleZap® unit we sell until five million units are sold. Additionally, we have agreed to pay $1.00 per unit sold which will be divided amongst two of our officers and our director of research and development. For additional information about these royalty arrangements, please see Note J of our financial statements at page F-13. This fee has been temporarily waived until E Med becomes profitable.
We have one full-time employee, our CEO/CFO. We presently out-source manufacturing and other key aspects of our business. We plan to add additional personnel as our growth warrants and revenue allows.

We have contracted with Frantz Medical Development Ltd. to manufacture our products in the United States. Frantz Medical has been approved by the FDA to manufacture NeedleZap® units. We have entered into a manufacturing and distribution license agreement with One World Sourcing LLC for the manufacture and distribution of the NeedleZap® device in the Peoples Republic of China. One World Sourcing is not currently an FDA approved manufacturer and products manufactured by One World Sourcing may not be sold in the United States. In addition to Frantz Medical, we believe that there are a number of domestic manufacturers with whom we could subcontract the manufacturing of our products at competitive rates who would also satisfy applicable quality assurance standards.
Our products are primarily comprised of ABS plastic, batteries, wiring, copper electrodes and aluminum. All of these materials and components are readily available from numerous suppliers at competitive pricing.
The medical waste disposal sector is highly competitive and is presently dominated by Baxter International, Inc., Johnson & Johnson, Kimberly-Clark, Steri-Cycle, Waste Management, BMI and other large suppliers who manufacture and sell medical waste disposal system products that store, and in some instances, treat certain contaminated medical instruments until removed for further treatment, but do not themselves decontaminate the instruments. There are generally substantial disposal costs associated in connection with contaminated products.
Our strategy is to develop a niche market within the industry through our ability to destroy commonly used syringes with a product that is both portable and relatively inexpensive the NeedleZap® unit. We believe these factors distinguish our product from the generally less portable and substantially more expensive products offered by our competitors. In addition, we believe the patent pending status of NeedleZap® together with the application and review time necessary for FDA approval of any similar competitive device should provide us with a competitive advantage, at least for a period of time. Of course, we cannot guaranty that these advantages will allow us to compete successfully or that one of our competitors will not develop a superior product. This is especially true given that many of our competitors are larger, have significantly greater resources, and broader product lines than we do.
Because we manufacture and sell medical devices, our products, packaging and manufacturing procedures are subject to regulations by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Department of Health and Human Services and similar state agencies. Medical devices are classified into three regulatory categories (Classes I, II and III). The amount of regulation varies dependant upon the classification. NeedleZap® is an FDA class III device. Because these types of devices are relatively new to the marketplace they are subject to the highest level of regulation. The FDA has reviewed and approved NeedleZap® (PMA P010065) for sale in the United States.
Our products are also subject to regulation in foreign countries. For example, NeedleZap® is considered an EU Class I medical device and must qualify for and bear the CE Mark in
5
European Union countries. Depending upon the distribution relationships established to market our products in countries other than the United States, we may be responsible for obtaining approval to sell in those countries.
In addition to the regulatory framework for product approvals, we are subject to regulation under federal and state laws, including requirements regarding occupational safety, environmental protection and hazardous substance control. We are not aware of any specific environmental liabilities that we would incur in connection with our business. Our sales and marketing practices are subject to regulation by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, pursuant to federal anti-kickback laws, and are also subject to similar state laws.
We have devoted substantial financial and human resources to comply with these extensive regulations by the FDA and other government agencies and will continue to do so in the future. If we failed to comply with applicable regulations we would be subject to administrative and criminal actions, which would likely significantly impair our business. Our operations may also be negatively impacted if the United States. or state governments or the governments of other countries where we market our products pass new legislation or if courts issue new rulings with respect to existing legislation governing our products. Continued compliance with regulatory requirements is likely to be costly.

Item 2. Description of Property.
We lease approximately 500 square feet of office and our primary warehouse space in Columbus, Ohio from a company owned by one of our directors for $1,800 a month. For additional information regarding this arrangement, please turn to Lease with Ochsendorf Company at page 15.
In April 2004, we entered into a distribution and marketing agreement with TransGlobal Medical Sales & Services, LLC of Orlando, Florida. TransGlobal was to serve as an international distribution arm for our products and was required to purchase and pay for 10,000 NeedleZap®
7
units within 90 days of the execution of the agreement. When we had not received payment for the units nearly two and one half months past the due date, we notified TransGlobal on October 19, 2004 of the material breach and that we were terminating our agreement. TransGlobal failed to cure its breach and on December 13, 2004 we filed a lawsuit against TransGlobal captioned E Med Future, Inc. v. Transglobal Medical Sales & Services, LLC, Robert Sullivan, and Martin Boelens, Case No. 04CVH-12-13068 (Court of Common Please, Franklin County, Ohio). In our complaint we alleged causes of action for breach of contract, fraud, rescission against defendants for failure to pay us $560,000 due under our agreement with TransGlobal, and TransGlobals failure to perform other terms of the contract. In February 2005, Messrs. Boelens and Sullivan filed their amended answers denying our allegations, and TransGlobal filed its amended answer and amended counterclaim. In its counterclaim, TransGlobal alleges causes of action against E Med for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference with business relations and contract rights, and failure to account. TransGlobal alleges that E Med breached the contract, took opportunities to which TransGlobal allegedly was entitled, and breached an agreement under which TransGlobal allegedly was entitled to receive four million shares of E Med stock. TransGlobal seeks damages in excess of $25,000, an accounting for present and future lost revenue, unspecified consequential damages, and prejudgment and post-judgment interest. In March 2005, we filed our reply denying all the allegations in the counterclaim. Discovery and depositions have been completed. E Med is vigorously prosecuting our complaint and defending the counterclaim, including filing a motion for summary judgment, which the court granted in part and denied in part in March 2006. A trial date has not yet been set.

We intend to reinvest our earnings, if any, in the business, and have never declared or paid, and do not intend to declare or pay, any cash dividends on our stock.
Item 6. Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
We manufacture and market products designed to reduce accidental hypodermic needlestick injuries. Our primary product, NeedleZap®, completely disintegrates the sharp portion of the needle. Please turn to Our Products at page 1 for a more detailed discussion of our product line. There are an estimated one million accidental needlesticks reported in the United States in the healthcare industry alone, and we believe the applications for our products are far reaching. NeedleZap® is designed to work within the parameters of recent OSHA needlestick mandates which require employers to take advantage of new technologies to prevent needlesticks in the workplace. We also believe there is a potential global market in developed as well as developing countries. For example, NeedleZap® could be a component in the fight against AIDS in many African countries where the disease is endemic. For additional information about our global marketing efforts, please see Distribution of Our Products at page 2.
We incurred net losses in 2002, 2003 and 2004 while we obtained FDA approval for our NeedleZap® product, applied for patent protection and entered into distribution relationships. We have not had significant sales volume to date. We believe we have now obtained significant experience in how to market our products effectively and we had a small increase in sales in 2005, which were less than projected. Our sales to date in 2006 and firm orders exceed 2005 sales volumes substantially. Of course, we cannot guarantee that sales will increase or that we will be able to attain profitability.
In December 2001, we filed a pre-market approval application, or PMA, with The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for NeedleZap®. On the basis of counsels advice, we determined that NeedleZap® was not regulated by the CDRH as a medical device in veterinarian or law enforcement applications. Therefore, we opted to market NeedleZap® in the United States to veterinarians and law enforcement professionals. Revenues generated from these sales would offset the costly and lengthy FDA approval process and provide funding for promotion, tooling, parts and the overall operations.
In July 2002, we received an approvable letter from the FDA stating that NeedleZap® met all the requirements for the safety and effectiveness data testing for a Class III medical device. The approvable letter was subject to an FDA inspection that found the manufacturing facilities, methods and controls in compliance with the applicable requirements of FDA quality system regulation. During the manufacturing inspectional phase in August 2002, the FDA requested that we suspend all sales to veterinarian and law enforcement markets until the product was fully approved. We voluntarily complied with the FDAs request and suspended all sales in U.S. markets and issued a recall for all units sold in the United States. In April 2004, we had recovered all devices that were sold prior to FDA approval and the FDA issued a letter terminating the recall in July 2004. The expense of this recall is reflected in the 2004 financials.
9
On March 14, 2003, the FDA issued a final approval order letter for NeedleZap®. Final labeling was submitted and approved on March 19, 2003, clearing the way to market NeedleZap® in the United States in healthcare facilities and treatment settings.
We are a development stage company and did not have full approval to market and sell our products until March 2003. Initial sales in 2003 caused us to be optimistic that our revenues and profits would increase in 2004 and subsequent years. We were disappointed when our 2004 and 2005 results did not meet expectations due to lower than anticipated sales.
We had net sales of $120,509 in 2005, compared with $118,507 in 2004, an increase of $2,002 or 1.7%. This increase is primarily attributable to increased selling prices.
Operating costs and expenses increased $954,670, or 78.8%, to $2,165,515 in 2005 from $1,210,845 in 2004. The increase was primarily caused by a substantial increase in stock based compensation and charges against operations for impairment of inventory, patents and tooling required by accounting rules. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased but only partially offset the stock based compensation and impairment charges.
Other expenses increased to $53,157 in 2005 from $25,218 in 2004, due to an increase in interest expense resulting from higher balances outstanding on our debt in 2005.
In 2005, our net loss increased to $2,098,163, or $0.06 a share, from a net loss of $1,117,556, or $0.04 a share, in 2004, as slightly higher sales combined with substantially increased costs.

We had no available cash on December 31, 2005, compared to $2,810 at the end of 2004. The decrease is primarily the result of our operating loss. Cash used in operations decreased 83.1% to $112,755 in 2005 from $665,642 in 2004, primarily due to decreased inventory and increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
On November 12, 2002, we entered into a credit facility with Key Bank (NA). The facility provides us with a working capital line-of-credit of up to $150,000 and currently bears interest at 7.5%. The credit facility is secured by all of E Meds assets and must be paid back in full on demand. We presently have drawn $149,098 on the facility.
In 2003, our director of research purchased an existing $215,585 loan and advanced additional funds bringing total funds advanced to $320,585. In the first half of 2004, we repaid a portion of this loan, reducing the outstanding balance to $266,484 at June 30, 2004. We repaid this loan in full as of June 30 by the issuance of 794,415 unregistered shares of our common stock to the note holder.
On April 1, 2004, we entered into a loan agreement with a private investor in the amount of $750,000. The convertible promissory note bears interest at 7.5% payable quarterly with the principal due in five years and is secured by all of our assets. The note is convertible at the holders option into 1.5 million shares of our unregistered common stock, subject to adjustment for dilutive issuances. Proceeds from the loan will be used for inventory and operating expenses. In connection with the loan, we also agreed to pay the lender a $3.00 royalty on each of the next 1.0 million NeedleZap® units, with maximum total royalty payments of $5.0 million. For additional information regarding the loan please see Note L of our attached financial statements at page F-13. The loan agreement was amended effective December 31, 2004 to reduce the loan amount to $548,000. Payment of interest and royalties was deferred until January 1, 2006, provided we provide monthly sales reports to the lender when due. In addition, if we arrange an increase in bank financing, the lender agreed to subordinate its security interests to the secured interests of the banking institution up to a maximum of $500,000. The lender had advanced $575,000 of the loan proceeds directly to PR Market Research Company, our primary vendor, without our approval. Please turn to PR Market Research at page 16 for more information about PR Market Research. The reduced loan amount consists of $175,000 received by us from the lender and $373,000 that we owed to PR Market Research for parts and services that was assigned to the lender
Our primary need for capital is to fund operations and the development of new products. Historically, our capital requirements have been met by a combination of loans from stockholders, our line of credit with Key Bank, and funds from operations. Now that we have obtained FDA approval for NeedleZap® and our distributors have had sufficient ramp-up time, we expect increased sales to meet our capital needs. In addition, we are developing new NeedleZap® products to help generate additional revenues. However, sales may not be adequate to meet our cash needs, which would negatively impact our operations and development of new and ancillary products. For an overview of the risks we face, please turn to Forward Looking Statements on page 6.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.
Our independent auditors report contains a going concern note. In Note C of our financial statements the auditors point out that we have incurred net losses that raise substantial concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. For more information, please turn to our audited financial statement beginning on page F-1 and Note C in particular on page F-10. Although we recognize that we have incurred significant losses while in the development phase, now that we have obtained FDA approval for NeedleZap® and begun developing our distribution channels we are confident about our prospects. Of course, we cannot guaranty that we will be able to successfully attain sustained profitability.
For a discussion of additional significant accounting policies that impact our financial reporting, please turn to Note B of our financial statements beginning on page F-7.

Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
Not applicable.
Item 8A. Controls and Procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
As of December 31, 2005, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the chief executive and financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon
12
that evaluation, the chief executive and financial officer concluded that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive and financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosures.
Not applicable.
Item 9. Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons; Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.
Our directors and executive officers are:
Donald Sullivan, age 63, was appointed E Meds chief financial officer in November 2004, a director in July 2005 and interim CEO in September 2005. Prior to joining E Med, from January through October 2004, Mr. Sullivan was employed as vice president and chief financial officer of Capital Furniture Works, Inc., a furniture manufacturer. From 1998 through 2003, Mr. Sullivan was the owner of Danville Pallet Co., a wooden pallet manufacturer. Previously, Mr. Sullivan was employed for approximately 20 years by Castle Nursing Homes, Inc. in various capacities, including president, secretary, treasurer and chief financial officer. Mr. Sullivan was licensed as a certified public accountant in 1967 and worked for over 10 years as a partner in various CPA firms.
Ronald L. Alexander, age 56, is an original E Med investor and has served as a director since July 2005. Mr. Alexander currently owns and operates several businesses, including funeral homes and a hospital bed sale and rental company.
We are still in the early stages of our business plan and have not yet realized significant revenues. Because we are still in the start-up phase, our board consists of only two directors Mr. Sullivan, who also serves as our chief financial officer and interim chief executive officer, and Mr. Alexander. Because of the small size of our board, the directors have not designated audit, nominating or other committees. Instead, these responsibilities are handled by the entire board. Without an audit committee, we do not presently have a director that qualifies as an audit committee financial expert under SEC rules. Although we are pleased with the diverse skills and level of expertise that our directors possess, we hope to attract additional independent members to sit on our board in the future as our business grows.
13
In the wake of the recent corporate scandals, the SEC has adopted rules encouraging companies to adopt written ethical guidelines for their officers and employees. We believe strongly in the importance of ethical conduct in our business endeavors, and on January 1, 2004, our board of directors unanimously adopted a code of conduct and ethics that applies to all of our officers, directors and employees, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and principal accounting officer. A copy of our code is attached to our 2003 Form 10-KSB filed with the SEC on March 30, 2004.
Compliance with § 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to make filings with the SEC reporting their ownership of our common stock and to furnish us with copies of these filings. In 2005, D. Dane Donohue, our former President and CEO, Robert J. Ochsendorf and Juan J. Perez, both former directors, and Mr. Sullivan each failed to timely file a Form 4 reporting an acquisition of shares. The Form 4s were subsequently filed. Based solely on our review of copies of reports furnished to us, we believe that all other § 16(a) filing requirements were met in 2004. Copies of these filings are available on the SECs website at SEC.gov or our website at NeedleZap.com.
Item 10. Executive Compensation.
D. Dane Donohue resigned as our president and chief executive officer on September 12, 2005 and our board appointed Donald Sullivan to serve as interim president and CEO. Mr. Sullivan has been E Meds chief financial officer since November 2004. The table below summarizes Messrs. Sullivan and Donohues compensation in 2005. None of our officers or employees has an employment or severance contract or similar agreement with the Company.
| Salary | Share Grants | Other | ||||||||||
| Donald Sullivan |
$ | 43,500 | (1) | $ | 65,000 | (2) | | |||||
| D. Dane Donohue |
$ | 45,000 | (3) | | $ | 7,587 | (4) | |||||
| (1) | Accrued in 2005 but not paid. |
| (2) | On January 15, 2005, E Med issued Mr. Sullivan 500,000 common shares valued at $0.13 a share. |
| (3) | $15,000 of Mr. Donohues salary was paid in 2005; the remainder was accrued but not paid. |
| (4) | Represents car and insurance expenses. |
Our directors do not receive cash compensation for serving on our board. Although we have no formal equity compensation plan for our board members, in 2005 we issued a total of 2.0 million shares to our board members for their services as officers and directors.
On December 20, 2004, our board adopted the E Med Future, Inc. 2004 Stock Option Plan. The stock plan provides for the issuance of up to 10.0 million shares of our common stock or options to purchase shares and is administered by the board. The purpose of the plan is to encourage and enable our officers, directors, employees and consultants, upon whose judgment, initiative and
14
efforts we largely depend for the successful conduct of our business, to acquire a proprietary interest in E Med. We believe that providing these individuals with a direct stake in E Meds welfare will assure a closer identification of their interests with those of the Company, thereby stimulating their efforts on the Companys behalf and strengthening their desire to remain with the Company.
Item 11. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.
The following table lists the stock ownership of all stockholders who beneficially own more that 5% of our stock as well as our executive officers and directors as of March 31, 2006.

Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
We have an informal lease arrangement with E.R. Ochsendorf Company, a company owned by Robert J. Ochsendorf, our former chief executive and director, to pay $1,800 per month, or $21,600 a year, for office and warehouse space in Columbus, Ohio. We have paid only a portion of the rent to date, and accrued the remainder. In 2004 we paid $7,200 in rent. In 2005 we didnt make any rent payments for our Columbus facility and had $27,000 in accrued rent as of December 31, 2005. The Oschendorf Company stopped charging us rent for our space in Columbus in August 2005. The lease is month to month and is not covered by a written agreement.
Supply Arrangement with Ochsendorf Company
Mr. Ochsendorfs company also provides us with supplies, boxes, labels and shipping services. E.R. Ochsendorf Company billed us $835 in 2005 and $10,382 in 2004 for these services.
Royalty Agreements with Officers
We have agreed to pay a royalty of $1.00 for every NeedleZap® unit sold which will be divided amongst D. Dane Donohue, our former chief executive officer and director, Mr. Ochsendorf, and our director of research and development. They have agreed to temporarily waive this fee until E Med is profitable.
Loans from Employees and Directors
In 2003, our director of research purchased an existing $215,585 loan to E Med from another of our employees and advanced additional funds bringing total funds advanced to $320,585. In the first half of 2004, we repaid a portion of this loan, reducing the outstanding balance to $266,484 at June 30, 2004. We repaid this loan in full as of June 30, 2004 by the issuance of 794,415 unregistered shares of our common stock to the note holder.
Ronald L. Alexander loaned us $101,000 in 2005 and $25,000 in 2004. The loan does not bear interest and is not represented by a note. Mr. Alexander joined our board of directors in July 2005.
PR Market Research Company is owned by Kenneth Jackson, our director of research, and is a significant shareholder. The company is an FDA approved vendor and supplies E Med with the majority of its component parts used in the manufacture of NeedleZap® units. It also furnishes packaging materials and other manufacturing supplies and has from time to time paid operating expenses for us. PR Market Research did not bill us anything in 2005 and billed us $226,633 in 2004.
Representation by Perez & Morris
In 2004, we engaged Perez & Morris LLC to represent us in an action against TransGlobal Medical. Perez & Morris is a Columbus, Ohio-based law firm co-founded by Juan J. Perez, a former member of our board of directors. This engagement was accepted for a fixed fee consisting of 250,000 shares of our common stock, plus expenses, which management believes is comparable to normal charges in the industry for similar services.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors
E Med Future, Inc. and Subsidiary
Columbus, Ohio
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of E Med Future, Inc. and Subsidiary (a Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 E Med Future, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note C to the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred net losses of $2,098,163 and $1,117,556 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and has a negative working capital of $514,088 and Stockholders Deficit of $1,167,942 at December 31, 2005. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans regarding those matters also are described in Note C. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005 and 2004
NOTE A - BUSINESS
The Company and Nature of Business
E Med Future, Inc. and Subsidiary (the Company), a development stage enterprise, was organized under the laws of Delaware on August 25, 2000. The Company plans to manufacture and sell a device that can disable a hypodermic needle trademarked under the name NeedleZap.
Reverse Merger
In April 2004, Micro-Economics, Inc., (Micro), a Nevada corporation, acquired all of the Companys outstanding convertible preferred stock by the issuance of 19,850,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock (the Merger). Simultaneously, Micro-Economics, Inc. changed its name to E Med Future, Inc. In connection with the Merger, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Micro and the Companys officers and directors replaced Micros officers and directors. Prior to the Merger, Micro was a non-operating shell corporation. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the merger of a private operating company (E Med Future, Inc.) into a non-operating public shell corporation with nominal net assets (Micro) is considered a capital transaction. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the merger has been treated as an acquisition of Micro by the Company and a recapitalization of the Company. The historical financial statements prior to December 31, 2003 are those of the Company.
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The company considers all highly-liquid investments, with a maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
Consolidated Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The Company uses financial instruments in the normal course of business. The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, inventory, bank overdrafts, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and customer deposits approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. The carrying values of notes payable and convertible promissory note payable approximate their fair value based upon managements estimates using the best available information.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recorded at the time of shipment of merchandise to customers, which is the time that the price is fixed, title has been transferred, collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured and the Company has no significant obligations remaining to be performed. Certain goods are shipped to retailers on a consignment basis under which title and risk of ownership are not transferred to the retailer. Accordingly, sales are not recorded until a retail customer has purchased the goods from these retailers.
Net Loss Per Common Share
The Company computes per share amounts in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings per Share. SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the income (loss) available to Common Stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock and Common Stock equivalents outstanding during the periods.
Equipment and Depreciation
Equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Routine maintenance, repairs and replacement costs are expensed as incurred and improvements that extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized. When equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in operations.
Patent Amortization
The Company amortizes its patent over a 15 year period.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
It is the companys policy to provide an allowance for doubtful accounts when it believes there is a potential for non-collectibility.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred. Total advertising expense amounted to $2,093 and $47,447 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and are included in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Stock-Based Compensation
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights. SFAS No. 123 requires employee compensation expense to be recorded (1) using the fair value method or (2) using the intrinsic value method as prescribed by accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) and related interpretations with pro forma disclosure of what net income and earnings per share would have been had the Company adopted the fair value method. The Company accounts for employee stock based compensation in accordance with the provisions of APB 25. For non-employee options and warrants, the Company uses the fair value method as prescribed in SFAS 123.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeded the fair value of the assets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151 (SFAS 151), Inventory Costs. SFAS 151 amends the guidance in APB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS 151 requires that those items be recognized as current period charges regardless of whether they meet the criteria of so abnormal. In addition, SFAS 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS 151 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 151 is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153 (SFAS 153), Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets. SFAS 153 amends the guidance in APB No. 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Assets. APB No. 29 was based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured on the fair value of the assets exchanged. SFAS 153 amends APB No. 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS 151 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 153 is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In December 2004, the FASB revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123(R)), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The SFAS 123(R) revision established standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services and focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based

payment transactions. It does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees. For public entities that file as small business issuers, the revisions to SFAS 123(R) are effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 123(R) is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS no. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (SFAS No. 154) which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements-An Amendment of ABP Opinion No. 28. SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. Specifically, this statement requires retrospective application of the direct effect for a voluntary change in accounting principle to prior periods financial statements, if it is practical to do so. SFAS No. 154 also strictly defines the term restatement to mean the correction of an error revising previously issued financial statements. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 and are required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. Although we will continue to evaluate the application of SFAS No. 154, management does not anticipate that adoption will have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
NOTE C - GOING CONCERN
As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred net losses of $2,098,163 and $1,117,556 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and has a negative working capital of $514,088 and Stockholders Deficit of $1,167,942 at December 31, 2005, and is considered a company in the development stage. Managements plans include the raising of capital through short term financing to fund future operations and the generating of revenue through its business. Failure to raise capital, keep its products and manufacturing facilities in FDA compliance, and generate sales revenues could result in the Company having to curtail or cease operations. Additionally, even if the Company does raise sufficient capital to support its operating expenses and generate revenues, there can be no assurances that the revenue will be sufficient to enable it to develop business to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. However, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE D - ACQUISITION OF MEDICAL SAFETY TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
On December 30, 2003, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Medical Safety Technologies, Inc. (MSTI), a wholly owned subsidiary of UTEK Corporation, a publicly-held technology transfer company, in exchange for 1,250,000 shares of the Companys common stock. MSTI holds the license to a patented invention known as the Safe Receptacle for Sharps, designed to aid in the safe transport of sterile and used sharp medical instruments. The Company expects the Safe Receptacle for Sharps product to provide complimentary technology to its NeedleZap portable needle destruction device.
Allocation of the purchase price was as follows:
| Value of 1,250,000 shares of common stock at $0.74 per share |

NOTE E INVENTORY (CONTINUED)
Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, specifies that a departure from the cost basis of pricing inventory is required when the utility of the goods is no longer as great as its cost. The Company utilizes the lower of cost of market method when a departure from cost is required. As required by ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Management reviewed the utility of the Companys inventory for the year ended December 31, 2005 and determined that all raw materials inventory and a portion of finished goods inventory were required to be written down to their minimum realizable value. Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss of $225,110 in order to reduce inventory.

NOTE H IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets required the Company to test long lived assets for impairment when conditions arise which indicate that the carrying amount of long lived assets may not be recoverable. As such, the Company tested its long lived assets for impairment based upon the fact that the Company had current-period operating and cash flow losses combined with the Companys history of operating and cash flow

losses. In assessing impairment, the Company considered its patent and the tooling equipment as an asset group as they both relate to the production and sales of Needle Zap units. Based upon the Companys projections of future cash flows relating to this asset group, the Company determined that this asset group was impaired. The Company thus recorded an impairment loss of $251,344 for the December 31, 2005. This impairment loss consisted of the carrying amount of $123,500 in tooling and dies included within Fixed Assets and the carrying amount of $127,844 relating to the patent.
NOTE I - SHORT TERM BORROWING
The Company has a $150,000 line of credit from a local bank of which $902 was available at December 31, 2005. The loan is secured by the assets of the Corporation and is personally guaranteed by three major shareholders of the Company. The current annual interest rate is 7.75%. The average annual borrowing rate approximated 6.20%. The balance due was $149,098 and $141,098 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
NOTE J - ROYALTY AGREEMENT
The Company has a royalty arrangement with NeedleZap General Partnership. The agreement requires a $5 royalty on each unit sold up to five million units regardless of how long it takes the Company to sell the units. Additionally, the Company has agreed to pay $1.00 per unit sold to be divided between two officers of the Company and the Director of Research and Development. This fee has been temporarily waived until the Company becomes profitable.
| NOTE | K - INCOME TAXES |
The Company follows Financial Accounting Statement No. 109 (SFAS No. 109). Under this method, the Company recognizes a deferred tax liability or asset for temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and the related amount reported on the financial statements. The principal types of differences, which are measured at the current tax rates, are net operating loss carry forwards. At December 31, 2005, these differences resulted in a deferred tax asset of approximately $629,000. SFAS No. 109 requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Since realization is not assured, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the entire deferred tax asset, and the accompanying financial statements do not reflect any net asset for deferred taxes at December 31, 2005. The valuation allowance increased by $278,000 and $264,000 in the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
The Companys net operating loss carry forwards amounted to approximately $1,967,000 at December 31, 2005 and will expire between 2018 and 2020.
