PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1. Financial Statements

Our March 31, 2006 unaudited consolidated financial statements follow this quarterly report beginning on page F-1.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis

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.

Our Products

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.

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 sits 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 IV’s 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. 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 channels 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.

Looking Ahead

We incurred net losses the last four years while we obtained FDA approval for our NeedleZap® product, applied for patent protection, entered into distribution relationships and test marketed the product. We have not had significant sales volume to date. Although sales were disappointing for 2005, we believe that we have now obtained valuable experience in how to market our products effectively and we anticipate an increase in sales in 2006. To date, sales for the first quarter have been positive and we expect to meet our sales goals for 2006. Of course, we cannot guarantee that sales will increase or that we will be able to attain profitability.

Our History

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 and officers resigned and were replaced by a new board and management team. 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 Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 4, 2003 that we filed with the SEC on April 11, 2003.

Results of Operations

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 subsequent years. However, our 2004 and 2005 results did not meet expectations due to lower than anticipated sales by our distributors. Sales in the first quarter of 2006 continue to lag behind our expectations.

Net Sales

We had net sales of $9,343 in the quarter ended March 31, 2006, compared with $12,920 for the same period in 2005, a decrease of $3,577 or 27.7%. This decrease is primarily attributable to sales by our distributors not meeting expectations.

Costs and Expenses

Operating costs and expenses decreased $2,065,222, or 97.9%, to $44,152 in the first quarter of 2006 from $2,109,374 in 2005. Operating costs and expenses for the first quarter of 2006 were reduced due to cost cutting measures instituted by management and no stock based compensation for employees and consultants being paid in 2006 compared to $1,993,700 of stock based compensation expense in 2005. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased to 96.7% in 2006 from 111.9% in 2005 due to reduced warranty related costs in 2006.

Other expenses increased $1,358, or 10.9%, to $13,788 in 2006 from $12,430 in 2005, due to an increase in interest expense resulting from higher interest rates on our interest bearing debt in 2005.

Net Loss

In the first quarter of 2006, our net loss decreased to $48,597 from a net loss of $2,108,884 in 2005 as a result of substantially reduced operating expenses.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

We had available cash on March 31, 2006 of $4,602 compared to an overdraft of $2,782 at March 31, 2005. Cash used in operations decreased 62.3% to $7,477 in the first three months of 2006 from $19,850 in 2005, primarily caused by an increase in accrued expenses and a reduction in inventory and accounts receivable in 2006.

On November 12, 2002, we entered into a credit facility with KeyBank (NA). The facility provides us with a working capital line-of-credit of up to $150,000 and currently bears interest at 8.0%. The credit facility is secured by all of E Med’s assets and must be paid back in full on demand. We presently have drawn $149,098 on the facility.

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 holder’s option into 1.5 million shares of our unregistered common stock, subject to adjustment for dilutive issuances. In connection with the loan, we also agreed to pay the lender a $3.00 royalty on each of the first 1.0 million and $2.00 on the second 1.0 million NeedleZap® units sold, with maximum total royalty payments of $5.0 million. 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.

Table of Contents

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 and other investors, our line of credit with Key Bank, and funds from operations. Now that 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 in the long-term. However, sales may not be adequate to meet our cash needs, which would negatively impact our operations and development of new and ancillary products.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.

(A Development Stage Company)

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Results for the three months ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the E Med Future, Inc., formerly Micro-Economics, Inc., annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005.

NOTE B - GOING CONCERN

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $48,597 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, and has a negative working capital of $532,124 and Stockholders’ Deficit of $1,216,539 at March 31, 2006, and is considered a company in the development stage. Management’s 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 Company’s 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 C - CONCENTRATION

Approximately 50% of the Company’s sales for the three months ended March 31, 2006 were with one customer. The remaining 50% were with two individual customers.
