Re:

Form 10-K filed April 1, 2024
File No. 001-39574
To Whom It May Concern:
On behalf of TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), we are responding to the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission contained in its letter dated October 30, 2024 (the “Comment Letter”), relating to the above-referenced filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Original Form 10-K”).
Set forth below are the Company’s response to the Staff’s comments. The responses set forth below are based upon information provided by the Company, which we have not independently verified. For the convenience of the Staff, the responses contained herein utilize the numbering of the comments and the heading used in the Comment Letter, and the text of the Staff’s comments is reproduced in italics below. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Amended Form 10-K”).
Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2023
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures, page 45
1.
Please amend your filing to provide (i) a statement identifying the framework used by management to evaluate the effectiveness of your internal controls over financial reporting and (ii) management’s conclusion as to the effectiveness of your internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. Refer to Item 308(a)(2) and (3) of Regulation S-K.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on page 4 of the Amended Form 10-K accordingly.
2.
In light of the missing internal control over financial reporting disclosures, it appears you should re-evaluate your conclusion regarding the effectiveness of your disclosure controls and procedures. Please ensure you state whether your disclosure controls and procedures were effective or not effective. In this regard, we note your current language, “…our disclosure controls and procedures were designed, implemented and operating effectively.” Refer to Item 307 of Regulation S-K.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and respectfully advises the Staff that the omission of the disclosures referenced in the Staff’s Comment #1 above was solely due to an inadvertent and scrivener’s error that occurred during the processing of the Original Form 10-K. Specifically, the Company notes that such disclosures were included in the Company’s prior annual reports on Form 10-K when the Company did not have a material weakness. However, in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company disclosed a material weakness, which was subsequently remediated as of December 21, 2022, but when the Company attempted to remove the material weakness disclosure in the Original Form 10-K, it inadvertently deleted the missing disclosure referenced in Comment #1. Nevertheless, in response to the Staff’s comment, the Company’s management has reevaluated the conclusion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on such reevaluation, the management has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2023. The Company has revised the disclosure on page 4 of the Amended Form 10-K accordingly to conform to the language in Item 307 of Regulation S-K.

If the Staff has any questions or comments regarding the foregoing, please contact the undersigned by telephone at (650)843-7263 or via email at albert.lung@morganlewis.com.

Dear Mr. Gibson:
We represent TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. Our client has forwarded
to us your letter dated June 23, 2009 and authorized us to reply.
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008
----------------------------------------------
Item 1. Business
-----------------
General
-------
1. Confirming our telephone conversation, we supplementally advise that we
do not believe it is material to expand the disclosure regarding the issuer's
intellectual property. As disclosed in Form 10-K under the section entitled
Services, the issuer purchased a proprietary system for ozone generation from
two separate companies, which forms the core of its business and which the
issuer believes provides necessary protection. This proprietary system is
not patented nor does the issuer believe that a patent would provide additional
protection or advance its interests.

----------------
2. Supplementally we advise that it is well settled scientifically that
ozone is a more powerful oxidizer and more quickly disinfects than chlorine.
Attached please find information underlying the foregoing. The information
regarding expanding market for ozone technology is based upon research compiled
by Frost & Sullivan indicating an increase in demand for non-chemical
disinfection technologies such as ozone and ultraviolet light in a variety of
markets.
3. Supplementally we advise that government regulation and cost of
compliance with environmental laws (Regulation S-K Item 101 (h)(4)(ix) and (xi))
are inapplicable as the regulation of ozone usage is related to occupied space.
The issuer, as disclosed in Form 10-K, applies ozone in greater levels than EPA
allowances; however, it does so in unoccupied and contained spaces. The issuer
has disclosed that people, plants and pets must be removed from the premises
during treatment.
Competitors & Future Competition, page 6
----------------------------------------
4. Supplementally we advise that the disclosure in the document referred to
direct public competition. The market for air cleaning has a panoply of
different treatments, including many over the counter products, but to the
issuer's knowledge no public company is using similar ozone methodology.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
---------------------
General
-------
5. We acknowledge the staff's comment and represent that these are the risks
the company deemed material at the time of this filing. In future filings it
will delete any reference to other potential risks and uncertainties.

-------------------------------------
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities, page 10
6. Confirming our telephone conversation, the information concerning the
exemption from registration was disclosed in a timely manner in Form 8-K at the
time of the transaction and was not repeated in this document. The reason
language was included on the sale of securities previously disclosed was to
avoid any confusion with the disclosure made in the subsequent event footnote
to the financial statement.
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of Operations
-------------
Overview, page 11
-----------------
7. We acknowledge the staff's comment and represent that a more complete
discussion of the business growth strategy and the lack of revenues will be made
in the issuer's next 10-Q. At the time this Form 10-K was filed the issuer had
not generated any material revenue and was in the process of seeking additional
capital. As disclosed, the issuer did raise capital in the first quarter and
began to profitably earn revenue in the second quarter and its current business
model assumes appropriate profit margins.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
---------------------------------------------------
Financial Statements
--------------------
Note 4 - Intangible Assets, page F-12
-------------------------------------
8. Supplementally we advise that the issuer believes that the amortization
number would have been immaterial-approximately $10,000 for the reporting
period, which is both qualitatively and quantitatively immaterial-and therefore,
did not disclose same in Form 10-K. As discussed with the staff, the issuer
will begin to amortize those intangible assets in the second quarter of 2009
and this will be reflected in the upcoming 10-Q.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
--------------------------------
Disclosure Controls and Procedures, page 13
-------------------------------------------
9. We note the staff's comment and represent that in future filings the
issuer will delete the qualifying language regarding assurance that the
disclosure controls will be effective. The issuer believes that its disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of
achieving their objectives and that management believes that they are effective.
Item 11. Executive Compensation, page 15
----------------------------------------
10. We acknowledge the staff's comment regarding a compensation table and
advise that inasmuch as only one person received compensation and that such
compensation consisted solely of salary the issuer believed that narrative
disclosure was sufficient. We represent that in the future filings appropriate
disclosure will be made in tabular form as well.
As discussed more fully in the financial statement footnotes, Dr. Shane was
entitled to receive salary under his employment contract, a substantial portion
of which was unpaid and accrued since the company did not have sufficient funds
to pay him. The company will continue to accrue his salary until such time it
has sufficient revenue and cash flow to pay him without impacting operations.
A copy of Dr. Shane's employment contract will be filed with the next 10-Q.
Exhibits
--------
11. Supplementally we advise that the broker agreement discussed on page 5
was not deemed material requiring a filing as an exhibit as they have not
generated revenue to date. With respect to the investment documents discussed
on page 11, we believed that the subscription agreement had been filed with the
above mentioned Form 8-K. We will file that document with the next 10-Q.

2. Please disclose the basis for all of your a ssertions regarding th e usage and safety
of ozone the potentially harmful effects of other air purificati on alternatives. For
instance, we note your disclosure that oz one is a “much more powerful oxidizer”
and “statistically disinfects quicker” than chlorine. We also note your projections
on page 3 regarding the expanding market for ozone technology. If you do not have appropriate independe nt support for such statements, please revise the
language to make clear that this is your belief, based solely on your experience in
the relevant field. Please note that this comment is also applicable to any
unsupported claims elsewhere in your filing.
3. We note your disclosure regarding your us e of generators which produce ozone in
quantities far exceeding the “safe ozone” levels identif ied by the EPA. Please
expand your disclosure under this subhead ing to discuss whether your business is
subject to any governmental regulations and also any material co sts attributable to
such regulations. Please refer to Items 101( h)(4)(ix) and (xi) of Regulation S-K.

4. We note your statement that, “we are una ware of any direction competition.”
Please reconcile this statement with your risk factor disclosure on page 7 that,
“The indoor air quality tes ting industry is extremely competitive.” Please also
disclose your methods of competition pursuant to Item 101(h)(4)(iv) of
Regulation S-K.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
General
5. We note the statement in the introductory paragraph that the risks disclosed in this
section are not the only risks faced in c onnection with your business. Item 503(c)

lack of revenues from operations. Please note that the disclosure in the introductory narrative of this section should generally provide insight into the
material opportunities, cha llenges, and risks, such as those presented by known
material trends and uncertainties, which may impact the company’s future operating performance. For example, we note your disclosure on page 7 under
the Risk Factors subheading regarding competition in the air quality testing
industry and challenges the registrant f aces in remaining competitive in the air
quality testing and air remediation servi ces industry. Please revise to discuss
actions management is currently consider ing to address these challenges. Please

8. We note your response to prior comment 1 which indicates that you have not
amortized your finite-lived in tangible assets because you believe that benefits will
not be derived from such assets until such time as you commence principal
operations. We are not able to agree w ith this position based upon the guidance in
paragraphs 11 and 12 of SFAS 142 which indi cates that finite-lived assets are
amortized over their useful lives. Please amend your financial statements to provide for amortization on your fi nite-lived inta ngible assets.

Note 4 - Intangible Assets, page F-12
-------------------------------------
1. Management's basis for determining the deferral of amortization on the
Company's intangible assets is that the benefit derived from such
intangible assets will not occur until such time as when the Company
commences principal operations. The Company will amortize its
intangibles over their estimated useful lives, based on an analysis of
pertinent factors, including the expected use of the asset by the
entity (SFAS 142 11a).
Note 13 - Forgiveness of Debt, page F-17
----------------------------------------
2. As a matter of clarification, $25,000 was forgiven. The obligation of
the Company for past due legal services was $50,000. $25,000 was
forgiven and the balance was represented by the convertible promissory
note.

File No. 0-09908
Dear Mr. Shane:
We have reviewed your first response letter filed on August 8, 2008 and have the
following additional comment. Where indi cated, we think you should revise your
document in response to this comment. If you disagree, we will consider your
explanation as to why our comment is inappl icable or a revision is unnecessary. Please
be as detailed as necessary in your explan ation. In our comment, we may ask you to
provide us with supplemental information so we may better understand your disclosure.
After reviewing this information, we ma y or may not raise additional comments.
Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007
1. We note that in your amended 10-KSB your management has again concluded
that disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the fiscal
year. In our letter dated July 21, 2008, we asked you to consider whether
management's failure to provide its re port on internal control over financial
reporting impacts its conclusion regarding the effectiveness of your disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of th e fiscal year. Please tell us the factors
you considered and highlight for us those factors that supported your conclusion.
In particular, please explain how you considered the definition of disclosure
controls and procedures provi ded in Rule 13a-15(e), whic h indicates that effective
controls and procedures would ensure that information required to be disclosed by
the issuer is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. In addition, as discussed

in Compliance and Disclosure Inte rpretation 115.02, which you can find at
http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpf in/guidance/regs-kinterp.htm , failure to file
management's report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting rendered your annual report materially deficient and also rendered the company not timely or
current in its Exchange Act Reporting. In light of these facts, please explain how
you could conclude that disc losure controls and proce dures were effective.
Alternatively, please further amend the 10-KSB to disclose management's revised conclusion on the effectiveness of your di sclosure controls and procedures, i.e.,
that disclosure controls a nd procedures were not effec tive as of the end of the
fiscal year.

Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007
Form 10-QSB for the period ended March 31, 2008
File No. 0-09908
Dear Mr. Shane:
We have reviewed your filing and have th e following two sets of comments. We
have limited our review of your filing to the disclosures pertaining to the evaluation of
your internal control over financial reporting and the proper form type.
Specifically, with respect to internal control, we have reviewed your filing to
determine if you conducted the evaluation of your internal cont rol over financial
reporting, as required by Exchange Act Ru les 13a-15 and 15d-15, and provided an
assessment and a conclusion as to the effectiv eness of your internal control over financial
reporting, as required by Item 308T(a) of Regul ation S-B. Where indicated, we think you
should revise your document in response to these comments, however, if you disagree,
we would be pleased to consider your explana tion as to why a revision is not necessary.
Please be as detailed as n ecessary in your explanation.
----------
1. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
It does not appear that your management has performed its assessment of internal
control over financial reporting as of Decem ber 31, 2007. Since you were required to file
or filed an annual report for th e prior fiscal year, it appear s you are required to report on
your management’s assessment of intern al control over financial reporting.
Mr. Halden Shane
Ozone Man, Inc.
July 21, 2008 Page

If your management has not yet perf ormed its assessment, we ask that you
complete your evaluation and amend your fili ng within 30 calendar days to provide the
required management's report on internal control over financia l reporting.
In performing your evaluation, you may find the following documents helpful:
the Commission’s release Amendments to Rules Regarding Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (Securities Act Release
8809/Financial Reporting Release 76). You can find this release at:
http://www.sec.gov/rules/final/2007/33-8809.pdf ;
the Commission’s release Commission Guidance Regarding Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financ ial Reporting Under Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Securities Act Release
8010/Financial Reporting Release 77). You can find this release at:
http://sec.gov/rules/interp/2007/33-8810.pdf ;
the “Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 – A Guid e for Small Business” brochure at:
(http://www.sec.gov/info/smallbus/404guide.shtml ).
In addition, please consider whether manage ment’s failure to perform or complete
its report on internal control over financial re porting impacts its conclusions regarding the
effectiveness of your disclosu re controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal year
covered by the report and revise your disclosure as appropriate.
Finally, we note that you filed your Principal Executiv e Officer and Principal
Financial Officer certifications under Item 601(b)(31) of Regulation S-B. Please revise these certifications to incl ude the introductory language of paragraph 4 and the language
of paragraph 4(b) of Item 601( b)(31) of Regulation S-B.
Please note that the failure to perfor m management’s assessment adversely affects
the company’s and its shareholders ability to avail themselves of rules and forms that are
predicated on the current or timely filing of Exchange Act reports. For further information regarding these impacts, please see Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation
115.02, which you can find at
http://www.sec.gov/divisions /corpfin/guidance/regs-
kinterp.htm .
2. Form Type.
We note that your most recent quarterly report for the period ending March 31,
2008 was on Form 10-QSB and not Form 10-Q. Beginning February 4, 2008, companies formerly classified as “small business issuers” under Regulation S-B must file their
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q after they have filed an annual report for a fiscal year
Mr. Halden Shane
Ozone Man, Inc.

ending after December 15, 2007. Although small bus iness issuers are now required to file
on Form 10-Q, the disclosure requirements for that form are now tailored for smaller
companies.
Although we are not asking you to correct your most recent filing just to reflect
the proper form type, we ask that you revi ew your filing requir ements and consider
whether any action is necessary if your most recently filed quar terly report does not
contain all required material information. In any event, you should file your next
quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Information about recent changes to rule s affecting small business issuer form
types and disclosure and filing requiremen ts is available on the SEC website at
http://www.sec.gov/info/smallbus/secg/smrepcosysguid.pdf . If you have any questions
about these changes, please feel free to contact the SEC’s Office of Small Business
Policy at (202) 551-3460 or smallbusiness@SEC.gov .
----------
Please understand that the purpose of our review process is to assist you in your
compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall
disclosure in your filing. We look forward to working with you in these respects. We
welcome any questions you may have about our comments or any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter.
We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure in the filing to be certain that the filing includes all in formation required under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and th at they have provided all information
investors require for an informed invest ment decision. Since the company and its
management are in possession of all facts re lating to a company’s disclosure, they are
responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they have made.
In connection with responding to our comments, please provide, in writing, a statement from the company acknowledging that:
the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the
filing;
staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not
foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and
the company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated
by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
