Item 1.  Business                                                               
--------                                                      
General                                                                         

     Medizone  International,  Inc., a Nevada  corporation (the "Company" or the
"Registrant")  organized in 1986, is a development stage company whose objective
is to (i) gain regulatory  approval for its drug, a precise mixture of ozone and
oxygen  called  MEDIZQNE(R),  and its process of  inactivating  lipid  enveloped
viruses for the intended purpose of decontaminating blood and blood products and
assisting  in the  treatment of certain  diseases;  and (ii) develop the related
technology and equipment for the medical application of its products,  including
its drug production and delivery system (the "Medizone Technology"). MEDIZQNE(R)
is one of two  registered  trademarks  of the Company.  Throughout  this report,
whether or not the trademark symbol is used, the phrase "Medizone (the drug)" is
intended to have the same effect as if the trademark symbol had been used.      

     Medizone (the drug) is intended to be used as a therapeutic  drug in humans
to  inactivate  certain  viruses,  and thereby  afford a  treatment  for certain
virally-based diseases (including Human Immunodeficiency Virus ["HIV"], the AIDS
related virus, Hepatitis B, Epstein-Barr,  herpes, and cytomegalovirus),  and to
decontaminate blood and blood products, applications which are covered under the
Company's patent (Patent No. 4,632,980).  The Medizone  Technology was developed
for the  production  of  Medizone  (the  drug),  and has  led to the  design  of
equipment  for which a patent has been issued in the United  States  (Patent No.
5,052,382).  The Company has obtained  patents based on each of these patents in
various foreign countries. See "Patents".                                       

Patents                                                                         

     The  proprietary  scope of the  Company  is covered  under a United  States
process patent (U.S. Patent No. 4,632,980) entitled,  "Ozone  Decontamination of
Blood and Blood  Products" (the "Patent") and a related United States  equipment
patent  (U.S.  Patent  No.  5,052,382)  entitled  "Approaches  for  the  Control
Generation and Administration of Ozone" (the "Equipment Patent").               

     The Patent, which covers a procedure for ozone decontamination of blood and
blood  products  through the  treatment  of blood and blood  components,  is the
Company's  principal  asset,  and was  purchased,  together with rights to other
ozone-related inventions, from Immunologics Limited Partnership, L.P. ("ILP") in
1987,  for an aggregate of 6,000,000  shares of the Company's  common stock (the
"Patent  Purchase  Agreement").  John M. Kells,  the general partner of ILP, was
Chairman  of the  Company's  Board  of  Directors  from  November  1992  through
September 1993.                                                                 

     The Patent Purchase  Agreement requires the Company to pay to ILP an annual
royalty equal to 3% of the net receipts  (i.e.,  net receipts after all credits,
returns and customary  deductions,  and exclusive of all taxes)  received by the
Company in  connection  with the sale of any product,  device or  apparatus  em-
bodying the Patent.  The method  covered by the Patent is the  principal  use of
ozone  under  study  by  the  Company  and  is the  method  incorporated  in its
regulatory  applications.  (See "Governmental  Regulation" below.) In June 1990,
pursuant to the Company's  request for  re-examination  of the Patent,  the U.S.
Patent Office issued a re-examination certificate,  confirming the patentability
of the  claims  covered  by the  Patent.  The  Company's  United  States  patent
protection for the Patent will expire in 2003,  subject to extension  based upon
the length of time  required  to bring the Patent to  commercial  fruition.  The
Company  has been  granted  patents  (based on the  Patent)  in  Canada  and the
European  Patent  Community,  Australia,  Malaysia,  Hong Kong and  Japan,  with
applications  pending in  Singapore.  The foreign  patents began to be issued in
1990 and will expire 17 years after their respective dates of issuance.

     The Equipment Patent, which covers apparatus for the controlled generation,
monitoring and dosage of a precise admixture of ozone and oxygen (Medizone,  the
drug),  was  developed  by a  consultant  engineer to the Company and issued and
assigned to the Company in 1991.  The Equipment  Patent was developed to provide
the  physical  means to deploy the Patent.  The foreign  patent  coverage of the
Equipment Patent parallels the coverage of the Patent.                          

     In late 1996, the Company became aware that a United States patent had been
issued to a Canadian  corporation which it believes infringes on the Patent. The
Company has  consulted  its patent  counsel and intends to take the  appropriate
steps to protect its rights with respect to the Patent.  However, at the present
time,  the nature of any action to be taken by the  Company  would be limited by
its lack of funding.                                                            

Research and Development                                                        

     The Company does not maintain  laboratories  or other clinical  research or
testing facilities.  The Company's research and development activities have been
conducted by utilizing  contract  laboratories and clinicians.  The research and
development  activities have been directed by the Company's  Scientific Advisory
Board,  whose sole member  since June 1997 has been Dr.  Gerard V.  Sunnen,  the
Company's Director of Science (see "Employees and Consultants").                

Pre-clinical Studies                                                            

     Pre-clinical  Studies are defined as  non-human  studies.  Since 1988,  the
Company has both  sponsored and been the  beneficiary  of research to determine,
among other  things,  (i) whether the use of ozone,  either  alone or with other
modalities,  is  efficacious  in the  treatment of certain  diseases and (ii) to
establish  additional  scientific  evidence  that ozone,  through the use of the
patents and/or applications of scientific  methodologies of a similar nature can
decontaminate  blood  of  lipid  enveloped  viruses  and  thereby  significantly
diminish the degree of transfusion related disease.                             

     Pre-clinical projects sponsored by the Company to date include: (1) studies
to test ozone's ability to inactivate HIV,  conducted at the State University of
New York ("SUNY") Health Science Center at Syracuse; (2) a pilot animal study of
the  potential  toxicity  of ozone,  conducted  by the  Arnold & Marie  Schwartz
College of  Pharmacy  and  Health  Science at Long  Island  University;  and (3)
studies investigating the effects of ozone/oxygen admixtures on human peripheral
blood,  including whole blood, serum and plasma,  conducted by the Blood Bank of
Mt. Sinai Medical Center, New York City.                                        

     In 1990, the Canadian Blood Forces Program (under the aegis of the Canadian
Department of Defense and Agriculture and the Canadian Red Cross) requested that
the Company add the  Medizone  Technology  to the other  proprietary  technology
being investigated as an experimental arm of an ozone- based blood sterilization
investigative  program.  The  program  was an attempt  to  develop an  effective
technology for sterilizing whole blood and blood products.  This program,  which
was to study the Medizone Technology as it relates to the inactivation of Simian
Immunodeficiency  Virus  ("SIV"),  included a live  primate  model.  The program
continued until 1994,  completing two out of the three proposed stages, when the
funding  arm of the  Canadian  Blood  Forces  Program  discontinued  funding the
program. The Company's current management learned in late 1997 that the program,
as it  involves  the  Medizone  Technology,  was  stopped  primarily  due  to an
equipment  failure and the  generation  of erroneous  data due to the  equipment
failure.  The  third  stage of the study was  resumed  in May 1996,  but did not
utilize the Medizone Technology.

Governmental Regulation                                                         

     Medizone  (the drug),  the  Medizone  Technology  and any related  products
derived  therefrom are regulated  under the Federal Food,  Drug and Cosmetic Act
and the regulations  promulgated thereunder (the "FDC Act") and are regulated by
the Food and Drug  Administration  (the  "FDA").  The FDA  exercises  broad  and
extensive  authority in regulating  the  development,  production,  importation,
distribu-  tion  and  promotion  of "new  drug"  products  and  "investigational
devices" pursuant to the FDC Act.                                               

     Because  ozone-generation  for the purposes of  interfacing  with blood and
blood  products  is  regarded  as a new drug  delivery  system,  the  Company is
precluded  from  selling or  distributing  Medizone  (the drug) or the  Medizone
Technology  until after FDA  approval has been  granted.  In order to obtain FDA
approval,  the Company will be required to submit a New Drug Application ("NDA")
for review by the FDA and provide medical and scientific  evidence sufficient to
demonstrate  that  Medizone  (the  drug) and the  Medizone  Technology  has been
successfully   used  in  pre-clinical   studies  followed  by  three  phases  of
well-controlled  clinical studies using human volunteer  subjects.  The FDA will
not grant an NDA unless it  contains  sufficient  medical  evidence  and data to
permit a body of qualified and  experienced  scientists to conclude that the new
drug product is safe and  effective  for its  recommended  and proposed  medical
uses. Historically,  the FDA has held a strong bias against treating humans with
ozone, due largely to issues of safety.                                         

     In order to initiate  the first  phase  (i.e.,  Phase I) of human  clinical
studies  required  as part of an NDA,  an  applicant  must  submit to the FDA an
application for an Investigational  New Drug Exemption  ("IND"),  which contains
adequate  information  to satisfy  the FDA that human  clinical  studies  can be
conducted  without exposing the volunteer human subjects to an unreasonable risk
of illness or injury. The Company submitted an IND application  (assigned to the
Registrant by its former president) to the FDA on October 6, 1985, and requested
FDA approval to commence human clinical trials using ozone- oxygen to inactivate
HIV.  The FDA deemed the IND  application  to be  incomplete,  and  required the
Company to conduct  additional animal studies prior to commencing a large animal
study and human trials.  In September  1994,  after not  receiving  responses to
requests for  information  from the Company,  the FDA  inactivated the Company's
IND. The Company has no present  plans to commence a large animal  study,  which
would require,  as a precursor,  additional  small animal and  laboratory  work.
Accordingly,  there can be no assurance that the Company's IND application  will
ever be  re-opened.  Until an NDA has been  granted to the  Company,  it may not
distribute  ozone-generating  devices, except to researchers who agree to follow
FDA  guidelines,  and  provided  the devices are labeled as  "Investiga-  tional
Devices."                                                                       

     Because  ozone  has been used to treat  humans  in  Europe  for at least 30
years,  the European Union (the "EU") is more accepting of human clinical trials
of ozone  therapies  being  conducted  than is the United  States.  Accordingly,
Management  believes  that the Company  should  pursue the option of  conducting
human clinical  trials in Europe,  using  stringent  protocols that will meet EU
standards,  with a view to utilizing  the results of such trials in an effort to
obtain EU approval and to re-open the Company's FDA file.                       

Clinical Studies                                                                

Overview                                                      
--------                                                      

   To date the Company has not performed any human clinical studies.

     In late 1992, the Italian  Ministry of Health suspended the clinical use of
ozone until such time as sufficient scientific evidence was available to support
its use as a human therapeutic  treatment.  In this regard, the Italian Ministry
of Health designated the Italian Scientific Society for Ozone-Oxygen  Therapy in
Bergamo,  Italy  ("ISSOT")  as the agency to select  those  treatment  protocols
utilizing ozone as worthy of investigation and to provide those protocols to the
Italian  Ministry of Health for review and approval.  By letter  agreement dated
March 23, 1993, with ISSOT, the Company entered into a collaborative arrangement
to research and examine the efficacy of the Medizone Technology in the treatment
of various  blood-related  human  diseases.  The research is to be supervised by
ISSOT in Italy, under the direction of a research group assembled by the Italian
Ministry of Health. The research is to be conducted in accordance with protocols
that will meet EU Standards  for human  clinical  trials (to be furnished by the
Company) at University  based  hospitals,  which will enter into agreements with
the Company on a site by site basis.  The ISSOT  letter  agreement  requires the
Company to furnish ozone-generating instruments for use in the trials and to pay
for laboratory tests performed by each testing  institution that are outside the
scope  of the  normal  realm  of  clinical  analyses  performed  by the  testing
institutions.  There can be no assurance that any of the data generated from the
ISSOT research will be permitted to be utilized in connection with the Company's
efforts to re-open the FDA IND (see "Governmental Regulation").                 

     On May 16, 1994,  the Company  announced that human trials were to commence
at the University of Naples ("Naples"). However, after the termination of Joseph
S. Latino's employment with the Company,  the Company's inquiry into the conduct
of its  operations  during Dr.  Latino's  tenure as its Chairman,  President and
Chief of Research  disclosed that human trials of the Company's ozone therapy on
patients  infected  with either  Acquired  Immunodeficiency  Syndrome  (AIDS) or
Hepatitis B (chronic  active) has not been  authorized by Naples or commenced at
that  institution.  The Company also learned that the Italian Ministry of Health
had not issued  approvals for human clinical trials to commence at certain sites
as  previously  disclosed.  While the ethics  committees  at certain  university
hospitals have stated their approval for the Company to conduct Phase II trials,
they would require the Company to have either completed a large animal study and
Phase I trials or to have  these  requirements  waived.  The  Company  has never
performed a large animal  study or Phase I clinical  trials and does not possess
the necessary data with respect to its ozone therapy to commence Phase II study.
However,  there  does  exist a broad  use and  understanding  of  ozone  therapy
throughout Europe and there have been numerous  scientific articles published in
European medical journals describing the use of ozone on humans. The Company has
held  discussions with an Italian Contract  Research  Organization  (the "ICRO")
with a view to having the ICRO act as an  intermediary  on behalf of the Company
with the  Italian  Ministry of Health and  prepare a written  submission  to the
Italian  Ministry  of Health  regarding  the data in the public  domain on ozone
therapy  with a view to  having  the  Italian  Ministry  of Health  accept  this
material as proof of safety,  toxicity and tolerance of the use of the Company's
ozone  technology on humans in lieu of having the Company perform a large annual
study and possibly even a Phase I clinical  study.  The ICRO would also design a
research  program  and  protocols  for  clinical  trials  which  would  meet the
standards of the EU and FDA,  monitor the clinical terms and collect and prepare
analyses of the data  produced by the  trials.  The Company  will not be able to
enter into a formal contract with ICRO unless it obtains additional  funding. If
the Italian Ministry of Health does not accept the published evidence on the use
of ozone  therapy on humans,  the  Company  will be  required to perform its own
Phase I clinical  trials and possibly a large animal  study.  In late 1997,  the
Company  entered into a  discussions  with Italian and Belgium  clinicians  with
regard to them  performing  Phase I  clinical  studies.  However,  assuming  the
Italian Ministry of Health did not grant the Company's  request for a waiver, no
formal  agreements with these  clinicians  would be signed and the studies would
not begin until the Company obtains  additional  funding.  The Company estimates
that it would require an infusion of  approximately  $1.5 million to advance the
above-described research initiatives through the completion of a Phase III study
and submission of the data for approval to the Italian Ministry of Health.      

Instrument Development                                                          

     On October 17, 1996, the Company  executed an agreement with  Multiossigen,
S.r.L., an Italian corporation located in Bergamo,  Italy (the  "Manufacturer"),
dated as of September  13, 1996 (the  "Equipment  Contract"),  providing for the
manufacture  of ozone  generating  devices to be used in the human  trials to be
commenced  pursuant to the Company's  letter agreement with the ISSOT, as trials
are approved by the Italian Ministry of Health.

     Pursuant to the Equipment Contract, the Manufacturer will produce a working
prototype of ozone generating  devices  dedicated to the use of hollow fibers or
similar  gas  exchange   technology   covered  under  the   Company's   patents,
satisfactory to the Company (the "Equipment"),  and will make all data generated
from the use of the Equipment  available to the Company.  The Equipment Contract
calls for the  Manufacturer  to manufacture  twenty pieces of the Equipment at a
purchase  price of $9,000 per unit,  for an aggregate  of  $180,000,  payable as
follows:                                                                        

(a)  $25,000, paid upon approval of the prototype;                    

     (b)  $55,000,  payable in  fifteen  installments  of $3,667  with five such
          installments  ($18,335)  being paid on each  delivery of five units of
the Equipment; and                                          

     (c)  one  million  shares  of  the  Company's   common  stock,   bearing  a
          restrictive  legend,  500,000  shares of which were issued on the date
          the Equipment Agreement was executed with the remaining 500,000 shares
issued on March 16, 1997.                                   

     Pursuant  to  the  Equipment   Agreement,   the  Company   granted  to  the
Manufacturer  a license to use the Company's  patents in Europe,  subject to the
regulations of all documents necessary to protect the Company's rights in and to
the  patents,   and  appointed  the  Manufacturer  as  the  Company's  exclusive
manufacturer  and  distributor of the Equipment in Europe.  Notwithstanding  the
forgoing,  the present  distribution of the Equipment shall be limited to Italy,
but such  distribution  will be  expanded  to the rest of Europe upon the mutual
agreement of the parties.                                                       

     The  Equipment   Agreement   (together  with  its  grants  of  license  and
distribution  described  above) will  terminate on September 13, 1998 and may be
renewed by mutual  agreement  of the  partners at least thirty days prior to the
end of its term.                                                                

     Units of  Equipment  shall be  delivered in lots of five units and shall be
deliverable  to the  appropriate  hospital  site  within 60 days of the  written
request by the Company,  based upon such hospital's  ethics  committee  granting
approval to committee trials at a particular site.                              

     Since  its   organization,   the  Company  has  attributed   $2,202,685  as
expenditures for research and development, including $25,000 in 1996.           

International Activities                                                        

Medizone Canada Limited                                               
-----------------------                                               

     In order to maximize both research  opportunities  and the potential market
for its  products,  the Company  intends to establish  subsidiary  or affiliated
corporations  in other  countries.  The  organization of such  subsidiaries  may
initially require the Company to incur significant expenses;  thereafter,  it is
intended that the  subsidiaries  would be responsible  for  organizing  research
programs and/or generating possible sources of financing, from which the Company
would benefit  directly or indirectly.  It is anticipated that the Company would
also enter into license agreements with all subsidiary companies.               

     Registrant owns  approximately  two-thirds of the equity of Medizone Canada
Limited,  a publicly- owned Utah  corporation  ("MCL"),  which is engaged in the
same business as the Registrant in Canada through its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,
MCL Medizone  Canada Ltd.  ("MedCan")  As described  above under  "Research  and
Development",  MedCan was a participant in the Canadian  Blood Forces  Program's
SIV Study.                                                                      

     Four million redeemable common stock purchase warrants, each exercisable to
purchase one share of the common stock of MCL for $.125, are publicly-held.  The
MCL warrants  originally had a nine month exercise  period.  The expiration date
was extended numerous times (but expired on December 31, 1997.)                 

Medizone New Zealand Limited

     On  June  22,  1995,  the  Company  entered  into  a  series  of  contracts
(collectively the "Transaction  Documents") which resulted in the formation of a
joint  venture  subsidiary  incorporated  in New  Zealand,  Medizone New Zealand

Limited ("MNZ").  MNZ, a privately held corporation equally owned by the Company
and Solwin Investments Limited ("Solwin"), a New Zealand corporation which is an
affiliate  of  Richard G.  Solomon  ("Solomon"),  who  became a director  of the
Company on January  16,  1996,  but later  resigned on February  27,  1997,  was
organized on June 22, 1995 and is a research and development stage company whose
objective is to obtain regulatory approval for the distribution of the Company's
patented  technology  in New Zealand,  Australia,  South East Asia and the South
Pacific Islands.                                                                

     Pursuant to the Transaction  Documents,  the Company  purchased one hundred
percent of MNZ from  Solomon,  who had caused the  formation  of MNZ on June 22,
1995. Contemporaneously with this transaction, the Company sold fifty percent of
MNZ to Solwin,  a  corporation  owned by Solomon,  for U.S.  $150,000,  of which
$50,000 was thereupon loaned by the Company to MNZ on a demand basis,  which was
repaid on October 26, 1995. On October 26, 1995,  the Company loaned MNZ $50,000
on a demand basis,  which has not been repaid as of the date of this report. The
Directors  of MNZ, as of  September  1997,  are Solomon  and Milton  Adair,  the
Company's President.                                                            

     Contemporaneous with the creation of the above share structure, the Company
and MNZ entered into a Licensing  Agreement (the  "Licensing  Agreement")  and a
Managing Agent Agreement (the "Managing Agent Agreement") with MNZ.             

     Pursuant  to the  Licensing  Agreement,  the Company  granted an  exclusive
license to MNZ for its  process  and  equipment  patents  and  trademark  in New
Zealand.  MNZ has agreed to apply for corresponding  patent protection for these
patents in New Zealand and to use its best effort to exploit the rights  granted
in the  agreement.  The License  Agreement  shall  terminate  on the date of the
expiration of the last to expire of any patent  obtained in New Zealand,  or, if
no such  patents are  obtained,  on June 22,  2010.  The Company is to receive a
guaranteed minimum royalty (the "Guaranteed  Minimum Royalty"),  in an amount to
be agreed to by the  Company  and MNZ,  commencing  in the third  year after all
necessary  regulatory approvals requisite to the license, use or distribution of
the Company's  proprietary  technology have been obtained in New Zealand. If the
Company  and MNZ are unable to agree upon the amount of the  Guaranteed  Minimum
Royalty,  the  Company  may  terminate  the  license  on  thirty  days'  notice.
Commencing on the first sale to a user by MNZ, the Company shall receive a sales
royalty in an amount  equal to ten percent of MNZ's gross annual sales under the
License Agreement.                                                              

     Pursuant to the Managing  Agent  Agreement,  MNZ will act as the  Company's
agent in the finding of other  licensees of the Company's  patents and trademark
in the following countries: Australia (including Australia and New Zealand), the
South Pacific Islands and South East Asia (including the Philippines,  Indonesia
and  Vietnam).  Licensing  fees  obtained  as a  result  of the  Managing  Agent
Agreement shall be divided between the Company and MNZ on a sliding scale as set
forth below:

Initial license                        50%                                50%   

Subsequent license                                                              
fees up to $500,000                    50%                                50%   

Subsequent license                                                              
fees between $500,000                                                           
and $750,000                           75%                                25%   

Subsequent license

     MNZ and the Company will also divide any net royalties  paid to the Company
pursuant to any license obtained pursuant to the Managing Agent Agreement,  with
MNZ being paid 10% of the net royalties and the Company receiving 90% of the net
royalties.                                                                      

     The Managing Agent  Agreement shall expire on the termination or expiration
of the last of the  licenses  obtained  pursuant  thereto,  subject  to  earlier
termination by the Company upon an occurrence of certain events.

Competition                                                                     

     The  area  in  which  the  Company   seeks  to  do  business  is  extremely
competitive.  The Company is aware of a number of domestic  companies  that have
commenced  research  into the use of ozone as a virucide in the treatment of HIV
and other diseases,  or have announced the intention to do so. Other  companies,
foundations,  research  laboratories  or  institutions  may  also be  conducting
similar investigations into the use of ozone as a virucide or as a decontaminant
for blood or blood products.  The Company is also aware that another company has
provided  ozone-generating  equipment to departments of the Canadian  government
conducting studies in Canada for the purposes of comparison of technologies.  In
addition,  as reported in  scientific  journals and  newspapers,  there are many
commercial,  not-for-profit  and governmental  agencies  investigating  possible
treatments  for  HIV  and  other  viral  diseases,  as  well  as  a  variety  of
methodologies aimed toward blood fractionate decontamination.                   

Employees and Consultants                                                       

     The Company has three employees,  its President,  its Vice  President/Chief
Financial  Officer and a Vice-President  of Operations (who is not an officer of
the Company).                                                                   

     The Company has established a Scientific  Advisory Board which suggests and
formulates avenues of research and reviews research in progress.  As of December
31, 1996, the Scientific Advisory Board was comprised of two members,  Joseph S.
Latino,  Ph.D., the Company's  President and Chief Executive Officer and Bernard
J. Poiesz, M.D., Head, Regional Oncology Center, S.U.N.Y. at Syracuse, Syracuse,
New York. The Scientific  Advisory Board met three times in 1996. Dr. Poiesz was
not  compensated by the Company for his services on the Company's has Scientific
Advisory  Board,  although he has applied for research grants in connection with
the Company's  research and development  efforts.  Dr. Poiesz became a member of
the Scientific  Advisory Board in 1987. From 1989 to 1995, Fred Quimby,  D.V.M.,
Ph.D.,   Chairman,   Animal  Research  Institute,   New  York  State  School  of
Veterinarian  Medicine,  Cornell  University,  was a  member  of the  Scientific
Advisory Board, but resigned when he became the sole principal  investigator for
the SIV Study being  conducted  under the auspices of the Canadian  Blood Forces
Program. See "Research and Development".                                        

     In June 1997, the Scientific  Advisory Board was reorganized.  It currently
has one member,  Dr. Gerard V. Sunnen,  who serves as the Company's  Director of
Science.                                                                        

     The Company retains CTC, Inc. ("CTC"),  of Cincinnati,  Ohio, to act as the
Company's liaison with the brokerage community. The agreement is for a period of
one year,  but may be extended by the parties for  additional  one year periods.
CTC  receives  a  monthly  payment  of  $2000,  plus  expenses.   As  additional
compensation in 1996, it received  250,000 shares of the Company's common stock,
restricted under the federal securities laws.                                   

Insurance                                                                       

     The Company presently has no product liability insurance, since none of its
products  are  in  clinical   use.  The  Company  paid  an  annual   premium  of
approximately  $64,000  for  a  $1,000,000  policy  of  officers  and  directors
liability  insurance  in  1996.  It  presently  has no  officers  and  directors
liability insurance.                                                            

Certain Business Risks Associated with the Company                              

Devopment Stage Company/Net Losses                            
----------------------------------                            

     Although  the  Company  was  incorporated  in  1986,  it is  still  in  the
development  stage and has not yet commenced full operations,  nor has it earned
any revenues.  No assurance can be given that its business  activities will ever
generate revenues.  As indicated in the Company's financial  statements,  it has
experienced  substantial  losses  throughout  its  history.  Such  losses can be
expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

No Revenues/Need for Additional Financing                             
-----------------------------------------                             

     The Company has  generated  no  revenues,  has had no source of funds other
than  through  the  sale  of its  common  stock  and  will  require  substantial
additional  capital,  which will most  likely be obtained  through  sales of its
common stock, in order continue the research  program  outlined  above,  pay its
administrative   and  operating   expenses,   meet  its  filing  and  disclosure
obligations as a public company, and repay certain outstanding indebtedness.  No
assurances  can be given  that the  Company  will be able to  obtain  sufficient
additional  capital  for it to  continue  its  research  program,  or  that  any
additional financing will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's  administrative
and operating expenses for any significant period of time.                      

Status of the Company's Research                                      
--------------------------------                                      

     As described  above,  the Company's  research has not progressed to a point
where it would be appropriate to predict when, if ever,  Medizone (the drug) and
the Medizone Technology would have commercial application or be marketable.     

Forward-Looking Information May Prove Inaccurate                                

     This Form 10K/A contains  forward-looking  statements and information  that

"anticipate,"  "believe,"  "estimate," and "expert," and similar expressions are
intended to identify  forward-looking  statements.  Such statements  reflect the
Company's current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain
risks,  uncertainties  and  assumptions,  including  the  specific  risk factors
described above. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize,

materially from those anticipated,  believed, estimated or expected. The Company
does not intend to update these forward-looking statements and information.     

Item 2.  Properties                                                             
----------                                                    

     For  the  year  ended  December  31,  1996,   Registrant   leased  from  an
unaffiliated  party  approximate- ly 900 square feet of office space at 123 East
54th Street,  Suite 7B, New York, NY 10022,  under a two- year lease expiring on
February 28, 1998, at an annual rental of $20,940.  The Company  terminated this
lease in June 1997 and paid $4,598.96 to the landlord in settlement of any claim
for unpaid rent under the lease. On September 23, 1997, the Company entered into
a three-year  lease with an unaffiliated  third party for its present offices at
4505 South Wasatch Boulevard,  comprising  approximately 1400 square feet, at an
annual rental of $22,984.56.  The office space is used for executive offices and
administrative purposes.                                                        

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings                                                      
-----------------                                             

     In November 1992, the Company consented to the entry of a final judgment of
permanent  injunction  (S.E.C.  v. Medizone  International,  Inc.,  Civil Action
93-2761,  D.D.C.),  pursuant to which the Company was permanently  enjoined from
failing  to  timely  file  the  reports  required  to be filed  pursuant  to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.                                                

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.                   
----------------------------------------------------          

     No matters were submitted to a vote of securities holders during the fourth
quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 1996.

Prices/Trading Market Information                                               

     The Company's shares are traded in the over-the-counter  market, with price
quotes listed on the NASD  Electronic  Bulletin  Board under the trading  symbol
"MZEI," and in the "pink sheets" published by the National Quotation Bureau.    

     On December 31, 1997, according to the NQB Non-NASDQ Price Report furnished
by the National  Quotation Bureau,  there were  approximately 15 marketmakers in
the Company's  shares,  with a high bid for the shares of $.075 and a low bid of
$.065. Such prices reflect interdealer prices without retail markup, markdown or
commission; are not necessarily representative of actual transactions, or of the
value of the Company's  securities;  and are, in all likelihood,  not based upon
any  recognized  criteria  of  securities  valuation  as used in the  investment
banking community.                                                              

     Shown below is  information  obtained from the National  Quotation  Bureau,
indicating  the high bid and low bid prices for a share of the Company's  common
stock at the end of each of the four calendar  quarters of fiscal 1995 and 1996,
representing prices between dealers which do not include retail markup, markdown
or commission. They do not reflect actual transactions.

     On December 31, 1997, according to the Company's transfer agent, there were

     The Company has never paid cash  dividends on its common stock.  Payment of
cash  dividends is subject to the  discretion  of the Board of Directors  and is
dependent upon various factors,  including the Company's earnings, capital needs
and general  financial  condition.  The Company does not believe that it has any
immediate  prospect of earnings.  However,  the Company  anticipates that in the
foreseeable  future, it will follow a policy of retaining  earnings,  if any, in
order to finance research and development.

Company's common stock pursuant to the Sand Dollar Warrant, paying $.07 a share,

aggregate  of 666,666  shares),  an  employee  (50,000  shares),  and its public

totalling $725,447 from sales of its securities to non- United States investors,
outside of the United  States  pursuant to  Regulation S  promulgated  under the
Securities Act.  Approximately  $635,447 of these proceeds were from the sale of
the Company's  common stock at a per share price of $.10 (including  $37,500 for
375,000  shares from Richard G. Solomon at the time, a director of the Company).
The remaining  $90,000 were from the sale of Units,  each Unit consisting of one
share of the Company's common stock,  $.001 par value, and a Warrant to purchase
two shares of the Company's common stock for six months, at an exercise price of
$.10 share.  The Warrants will expire at various times in May and June 1997. The
Company also sold 100,000 shares of its common stock,  $.01 at a per share price
of $.10  to a  director  pursuant  to the  non-public  offering  exemption  from

to issue 800,000  shares of its common stock as payment of a $40,000  promissory
note held by an unaffiliated  party in the United States.  The Company relied on

and 250,000  shares of its common stock to its public  relations  consultant  as

     From its  organization  in January 1986,  Registrant has been a development
stage company primarily engaged in retaining research consultants and sponsoring
research to investigate the medical uses of ozone. Registrant has not generated,
and cannot predict when or if it will generate, sufficient cash flow to fund its
continuing  operations.  Since  its  organization,   Registrant  has  attributed
$2,202,685 as expenditures  for research and development,  including  $25,000 in
1996.

     Registrant  has restated each of its quarterly  reports for 1992 to account
properly for the proceeds from the Company's sale of a portion of its holding of
Medizone Canada Limited ("MCL") as equity transactions.

     During the first  quarter of 1992,  Registrant  sold 250,000  shares of MCL
common  stock at per- share prices  ranging  from $.093 to $.10,  and during the
third quarter of 1992, an additional  150,000 shares were sold through a broker.
Aggregate  proceeds  from the  transactions  were  $24,555  (first  quarter) and
$24,470 (third quarter), respectively.                                          

     Because  the  Company's  investment  in MCL was only $2,  the  $24,555  and
$24,470 was reported as a gain in the Company's statement of operations for each
respective  period.  In  the  restated  reports,   the  transactions  have  been
characterized as equity transactions.                                           

     The  restatements  result in an increase in the first  quarter  loss in the
amount of $24,555,  and an increase in the third  quarter  loss in the amount of
$24,470.                                                                        

     Additionally,  the Company sold  100,000  shares of MCL common stock during
1991 through a broker for $5,000, at a per-share price of $.05. This transaction
was also  restated  in 1992,  as an  equity  transaction,  which  results  in an
increase in the 1991 loss of $5,000.                                            

     The restatements do not affect  previously  reported loss per share because
of rounding.                                                                    

Years Ended December 31, 1996, and December 31, 1995.

     General  and  administrative  were  $1,291,082  in  1996 as  compared  with
$1,170,119 in 1995. These expenses include professional fees, payroll, insurance
costs and travel expenses.                                                      

     Notes  payable  in 1996 of  $332,315  and 1995 of  $147,815  have  interest
accruing at rates averaging from 6.07% to 8%.                                   

Years Ended December 31, 1995, and December 31, 1994

(7)  Due to the Company's  financial  condition,  Mr.  Bergeron has not received
payment of his salary in 1997.                                        

(8)  In 1997, the Company  provided Mr. Bergeron with health  insurance,  paying
     premiums of $2,595  (through April 18, 1987 when the Company's group health

health  insurance  from the Company  and has been  granted an option to purchase
1,500,000  shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.001, at a per share
price of $.20. These options vest in annual  increments of 500,000 shares on and
after January 1 of each of 1996,  1997 and 1998,  provided that Mr.  Bergeron is
still  employed by the Company at that time.  The  agreement  also  provides for
certain bonuses to be paid if the Company achieves certain financial results.   

     The Company  does not have a written  employment  agreement  with Milton G.
Adair.                                                                          

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation                     

     The Company does not have a compensation committee.  Matters concerning the
compensation  of executive  officers are  determined by the  Company's  Board of
Directors.  Until his termination,  Dr. Latino,  who was an executive officer of
the  Company,  was  also a  member  of the  Company's  Board  of  Directors  and
participated in deliberations concerning executive officer compensation, but did
not vote on his own individual compensation.  However, his participation in such
deliberations  gave rise to a conflict of interest which could have affected his
compensation.  Mr. Adair,  who is an executive  officer of the Company is also a
member of the Company's Board of Directors and will participate in deliberations
concerning executive offer compensation, but will not vote in his own individual
compensation.  However,  his participation in such deliberations gives rise to a
conflict of interest which could affect his compensation.

Loans from Directors                                                            

     On August 22, 1994,  the Company  borrowed  $18,000 from George  Handel and
$10,000 from John Pealer, two of the Company's directors, and $9,000 from Samuel
Handel, the brother of George Handel.  Each of these loans was payable on August
23, 1995 and bears  interest at an annual rate of 8%, payable on the maturity of
the loans.  The  maturity  date on these  loans has been  extended to August 23,
1997. Each of the lenders has the right to require that payment of principal and
interest due on his loan be made in shares of the Company's  common stock,  at a
per share price equal to that charged by the Company in the most recent  private
transaction prior to the maturity of the loans.                                 

     On June 4 and June 8, 1995, the Company borrowed $25,000 from George Handel
and $25,000 from Samuel Handel,  respectively,  payable in June 1996, which date
has been  extended to June 1997.  These loans bear interest at an annual rate of
9% and have the same conversion terms as the 1994 loans from these individuals. 

     In February  1996,  the Company  borrowed  $25,000 from Richard G. Solomon,
$12,000 from George Handel and $10,000 from John Pealer,  three of the Company's
directors. These loans were payable on June 15, 1996, but payment was thereafter
extended to June 15, 1997.  In August 1996,  the Company  borrowed  $32,500 from
George  Handel,  $15,000 from Samuel  Handel and $10,000  from Richard  Solomon,
payable in one year. In September 1996, the Company borrowed $10,000 from Howard
Feinsand, at the time a director,  payable in ninety days. In November 1996, the
Company  borrowed  $10,000 from each of John Pealer,  George  Handel and Richard
Solomon,  payable in November  1997.  The 1996 loans bear  interest at an annual
rate of 8%,  payable on the  maturity of the loan.  The Company has the right to
make  payments  of  principal  and  interest  on these  loans in  shares  of the
Company's  common  stock,  at a per share  price  equal to that  charged  by the
Company in its most  recent  private  transaction  prior to the  maturity of the
loan.                                                                           

     On or about  January  31,  1997,  the Company  borrowed  $1,800 from George
Handel.  The loan bears  interest at 8% per annum and is payable in one year and
has the same conversion terms as the 1996 loans.                                

     In June 1997, in connection  with their  appointment to the Board,  Messrs.
Marshall,  Adair, Sunnen and Hitt  (collectively,  the "New Directors") and Sand
Dollar  entered into an agreement in principal  (the  "Agreement")  with Messrs.
Gropper, Handel and Pealer (collectively, the "Old Directors") pursuant to which
the parties agreed, inter alia,                                                 

(a)  that Messrs. Pealer and Handel resign as Directors;              

     (b)  to cause the election of the New Directors to the  Registrant's  Board
          of Directors and to cause the appointment of Mr. Marshall as Chairman,

     (c)  to cause the Registrant to enter into indemnification  agreements with
each of the New Directors and Old Directors;

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

The Board of Directors and Stockholders                                         
Medizone International, Inc.                                                

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Medizone International,  Inc.
and subsidiaries (a development stage company) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
and the related  statements of operations,  stockholders'  equity and cash flows
for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, and the period January 31,
1986 (date of inception)  through December 31, 1996. These financial  statements
are the  responsibility of the Company's  management.  Our  responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.           

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining on a test basis,  evidence supporting
the amounts and  disclosures  in the  financial  statements.  An audit  includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.          

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the financial position of Medizone  International,  Inc.
and  subsidiaries  as of December  31,  1996 and 1995,  and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1996,  1995 and
1994, and the period January 31, 1986 (date of inception)  through  December 31,
1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.              

The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been  prepared  assuming that the
Company  will  continue  as a  going  concern.  As  discussed  in  Note 3 to the
financial statements,  the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations
and has a net capital  deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going  concern.  Management's  plans in regard to these matters
are also  described  in Note 3. The  financial  statements  do not  include  any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 MEDIZONE INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 (A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   NATURE OF THE BUSINESS                                                     

Background                                                                      

     Medizone  International,  Inc., a Delaware corporation  (Medizone-Delaware)
was formed on January 31, 1986. Medizone  International,  Inc. (the Company) was
organized  under the laws of the State of Nevada on  August 27,  1984 as Madison
Funding,  Inc. (Madison) for the purposes of investing in, acquiring,  operating
and disposing of businesses or assets of any nature. On March 26, 1986,  control
of Madison was acquired by the  stockholders of  Medizone-Delaware,  and Madison
changed  its  name  to  Medizone  International,  Inc.  The  substance  of  this
transaction  was the  acquisition  of the net  monetary  assets  of  Madison  in
exchange for the equity of  Medizone-Delaware.  As a result of this transaction,
the stockholders of Medizone-Delaware acquired 87.2% of Madison.  Therefore, the
transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests.                        

     On November 18, 1987,  Medizone Canada Ltd. (MedCan) was incorporated under
the  laws of the  Province  of  British  Columbia  with  authorized  capital  of
25,000,000 common shares without par value.  Shortly thereafter,  MedCan entered
into a license  agreement  with the Company  wherein the Company  transferred to
MedCan the licenses and rights necessary to permit MedCan to hold  substantially
the same rights with respect to the medical  applications  of ozone in Canada as
the Company does in the United States.  As consideration  for the transfer,  the
Company received 3,000,000 shares of MedCan and, in addition,  purchased 1 share
for the sum of $1.00. Under a separate  agreement among the Company,  MedCan and
Australian  Gold Mines  Corporation  (AGMC),  (which  later  changed its name to
International Blue Sun Resource  Corporation),  a company incorporated under the
laws of the  Province of British  Columbia,  AGMC  purchased  130,000  shares of
MedCan for (U.S.) $100,000.  On December 23, 1988, MedCan was recapitalized in a
transaction in which the majority of its shares were exchanged for shares of KPC
Investments,  a Utah corporation (KPC). Following this transaction,  the Company
owned 25,029,921 shares of KPC,  representing 72% of the outstanding shares. KPC
then changed its named to Medizone  Canada,  Ltd. (MCL).  MedCan acquired all of
the  assets of KPC,  consisting  solely of cash in the  amount of  approximately
$89,000. KPC and its subsidiary MedCan are hereinafter referred to as MCL.      

Formation of  Joint Venture Subsidiary                                          

     On June 22, 1995,  Medizone  International,  Inc.  entered into a series of
contracts  (collectively  the  "Transaction  Documents")  which  resulted in the
formation of a joint venture  subsidiary  incorporated in New Zealand,  Medizone
New Zealand Limited ("MNZ").  MNZ, a privately held corporation equally owned by
the  Company  and  Solwin  Investments   Limited   ("Solwin"),   a  New  Zealand
corporation,  was organized on June 22, 1995, and is a research and  development
stage  company  whose  objective  is  to  obtain  regulatory  approval  for  the
distribution  of the Company's  patented  technology in New Zealand,  Australia,
South East Asia and the South Pacific Islands.                                  

     Pursuant to the Transaction  Documents,  the Company  purchased one hundred
percent of MNZ from Richard G. Soloman  ("Solomon"),  a New Zealand citizen, who
became a director of the Company in January,  1996 and who caused the  formation
of MNZ on June 22, 1995.  Contemporaneously  with this transaction,  the Company
sold fifty percent of MNZ to Solwin,  a corporation  owned by Solomon,  for U.S.
$150,000,  of which  $50,000  was  thereupon  loaned by the  Company to MNZ on a
demand basis.  The Directors of MNZ are Solomon and Milton Adair,  the Company's
President and Chief Executive Officer.                                          

     Contemporaneous with the creation of the above share structure, the Company
and MNZ entered into a Licensing  Agreement (the  "Licensing  Agreement")  and a
Managing Agent Agreement (the "Managing Agent Agreement) with MNZ.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. NATURE OF THE BUSINESS (continued)-                                          

Business Activities                                                             

     The Company's objective is to gain regulatory approval for the medical uses
of ozone to inactivate certain viruses and to assist in the treatment of certain
diseases and to develop,  promote and distribute ozone- generating equipment and
related products for medical applications.                                      

     By letter  agreement with the Italian  Scientific  Society for Oxygen-Ozone
Therapy  (ISSOT) in Bergamo,  Italy,  dated March 23, 1993, the Company  entered
into a  collaborative  arrangement to research and examine the efficacy of ozone
therapy and the Company's  technology in the treatment of various blood- related
human  diseases.  The research is to be  conducted by ISSOT in Italy,  under the
direction of a research group assembled by the Italian Ministry of Health.      

     On May 16, 1994,  the Company  announced that human trials were to commence
at the University of Naples ("Naples"). However, after the termination of Joseph
S. Latino's employment with the Company,  the Company's inquiry into the conduct
of its  operations  during Dr.  Latino's  tenure as its Chairman,  President and
Chief of Research  disclosed that human clinical  trials of the Company's  ozone
therapy on patients  infected  with either  Acquired  Immunodeficiency  Syndrome
(AIDS) or  Hepatitis  B (chronic  active) has not been  authorized  by Naples or
commenced  at that  institution.  The  Company  also  learned  that the  Italian
Ministry  of  Health  had not  issued  approvals  for human  clinical  trials to
commence at certain sites as previously  disclosed.  While the ethics committees
at certain  university  hospitals  have stated their approval for the Company to
conduct Phase II trials, they would require the Company to have either completed
a large  animal  study  and  Phase  I human  clinical  trials  or to have  these
requirements  waived.  The Company has never  performed a large  animal study or
Phase I human  clinical  trials and does not  possess  the  necessary  data with
respect to its ozone  therapy to commence  Phase II study.  However,  there does
exist a broad use and understanding of ozone therapy throughout Europe and there
have been numerous  scientific  articles  published in European medical journals
describing the use of ozone on humans.                                          

     The  Company  has  held  discussions  with  an  Italian  Contract  Research
Organization  (the "ICRO") with a view to having the ICRO act as an intermediary
on behalf the Company with the Italian  Ministry of Health and prepare a written
submission  to the Italian  Ministry of Health  regarding the data in the public
domain on ozone  therapy  with a view to having the  Italian  Ministry of Health
accept this  material as proof of safety,  toxicity and  tolerance of the use of
the Company's ozone technology on humans in lieu of having the Company perform a
large animal study and possibly even a Phase I human clinical  trials.  The ICRO
would also design a research  program and  protocols for human  clinical  trials
which would meet the  standards of the  European  Union ("EU") and Food and Drug
Administration  ("FDA"),  monitor  the  clinical  terms and  collect and prepare
analyses of the data  produced by the  trials.  The Company  will not be able to
enter into a formal contract with the ICRO unless it obtains additional funding.
If the Italian Ministry of Health does not accept the published  evidence on the
use of ozone therapy on humans,  the Company will be required to perform its own
Phase I human clinical  trials and possibly a large animal study.  In late 1997,
the Company entered into  discussions  with Italian and Belgium  clinicians with
regard to them performing Phase I human clinical trials.  However,  assuming the
Italian  Ministry of Health did not grant the Company's  request for waiver,  no
formal  agreements with these  clinicians  would be signed and the studies would
not begin until the Company obtains  additional  funding.  The Company estimates
that it would require an infusion of  approximately  $1.5 million to advance the
above-described research initiatives through the completion of a Phase III human
clinical trials and submission of the data for approval to the Italian  Ministry
of Health.

2. CHANGES IN MANAGEMENT CONTROL AND LITIGATION AGAINST FORMER MANAGEMENT       

Changes in Control                                                              

     In November 1992, four directors resigned from the Board of Directors.  Two
of the outgoing  directors,  who were the founding  shareholders of the company,
were also the Company's sole officers (former  management or former officers and
directors), and they resigned from these management positions as well. Three new
directors  were elected by the outgoing  directors  and three new officers  (new
management)  were then appointed on an interim basis,  to serve until the formal
election of directors and  appointment of officers at the next annual meeting of
shareholders.                                                                   

     On July 7, 1996, at the Company's annual meeting,  Joseph S. Latino, George
Handel,  Kenneth Gropper,  John D. Pealer and Richard G. Solomon were elected to
the  Company's  Board of  Directors.  On July 31,  1996,  Lawrence I. Sosnow and
Howard L. Feinsand  were  appointed to the  Company's  Board of  Directors.  Mr.
Sosnow and Mr.  Feinsand  resigned as directors on October 1, 1996 and March 26,
1997,  respectively.  Richard G. Solomon  resigned as a director on February 27,
1997.                                                                           

     On May 14, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors terminated the employment
of Joseph L. Latino ("Latino") as the Company's President and Chairman after the
discovery of a pattern of unaccounted for  expenditures of the Company's  funds.
The  Company  is  investigating   the  purposes,   nature  and  extent  of  such
expenditures. Dr. Latino remained a director of the Company until he resigned in
August 1997.  George  Handel  ("Handel")  was named  President  and Chairman and
served as such until May 19, 1997 when Kenneth Gropper ("Gropper") assumed these
positions.                                                                      

     Contemporaneously  with the above events, the Company was notified that The
Sand Dollar Solution,  a California limited  partnership ("Sand Dollar"),  whose
general partner is Edwin G. Marshall  ("Marshall"),  was soliciting  shareholder
proxies to vote for Marshall, Milton G. Adair ("Adair"),  Gerard V. Sunnen, M.D.
("Sunnen") and William M. Hitt, Ph.D., M.D. ("Hitt") as directors.              

     On June 12, 1997,  the  Company's  Board of Directors  appointed  Marshall,
Adair, Sunnen and Hitt to the Company's Board of Directors,  with Marshall being
named Chairman.  Contemporaneously thereto, John Pealer ("Pealer") resigned as a
director,  and Gropper  resigned as President.  George Handel  resigned from the
Board   effective  June  13,  1997.  The  Board  thereupon  made  the  following
appointments to the following positions:                                        

President and Chief                                     
Executive Officer                       Milton G. Adair 
Chief Operating Officer                 Kenneth Gropper 
      Secretary                               Gerard V. Sunnen, M.D,

     On November 5, 1997, the Board  eliminated the position of Chief  Operating
Officer. Gropper remains as a Director of the Company.

Litigation Against Former Management                                            

     In November 1992, a derivative  action was filed in the U.S. District Court
for the District of New Jersey by two shareholders of the Company against two of
its former officers and directors.  The Company was named as a nominal defendant
in the action but in January  1993,  the  Company  substituted  itself as a real
party  plaintiff.  The Company filed an amended  complaint  seeking  damages and
equitable  remedies and alleging,  among other things,  that the former officers
and  directors  defrauded  the Company,  breached  fiduciary  duties owed to the
shareholders, and committed violations of federal securities laws.              

     In November 1993, the defendants  replied to the counterclaims  asserted by
the Company. The reply contained additional  counterclaims  seeking monetary and
injunctive  relief under various  provisions of the federal  securities laws and
the common law. The defendants also asserted a derivative counterclaim on behalf
of the Company against  certain current and former  directors based upon alleged
breaches of a written  agreement  between the defendants and the Company's board
of directors.  Although the claims originally  asserted by the defendants in the
New York action sought only declaratory relief, the newly asserted claims sought
damages in excess of $2.0 million.                                              

     On May 18, 1994, the parties  reached  agreement in principle to settle all
their litigation.  On September 27,  1994, the parties stipulated to discontinue
the action pending the finalization of the settlement. On December 28, 1994, the
written settlement  agreement was signed. The settlement  agreement provides (I)
that  Messrs.  McGrath  and  Watrous  will not  challenge  the  validity  of the
Company's  Board of Directors  resolution  to rescind  approximately  13,000,000
shares of the Company's stock previously issued to Mr. McGrath and approximately
1,200,000 shares previously issued to Mr. Watrous and to reinstate the Company's
debt to Messrs.  McGrath and Watrous  that had been  retired by the  issuance of
those shares; and (ii) for the Company to acknowledge the validity of $2,033,628
of debt to Messrs.  McGrath and Watrous. In connection with the settlement,  Mr.
McGrath  assigned his portion of the above mentioned debt to Mr. Watrous,  which
was thereupon  satisfied by the Company's  issuance to Mr. Watrous of 11,250,000
shares of the Company's  common stock  restricted  under the  Securities  Act of
1933.                                                                           

3. GOING CONCERN                                                                

     Continuation  of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining
additional capital, obtaining the requisite approvals from the FDA and/or the EU
for the marketing of ozone-related products and equipment, and ultimately,  upon
the  Company's  attaining  profitable  operations.  The Company  will  require a
substantial  amount of  additional  funds to  complete  the  development  of its
products, to establish manufacturing  facilities, to build a sales and marketing
organization  and to fund  additional  losses which the Company expects to incur
over the next several years.                                                    

     Because  ozone-generation  for the purposes of  interfacing  with blood and
blood  products  is  regarded  as a new drug  delivery  system,  the  Company is
precluded  from  selling or  distributing  Medizone  (the drug) or the  Medizone
Technology in the United  States until after FDA approval has been  granted.  In
order to obtain FDA approval,  the Company will be required to submit a New Drug
Application ("NDA") for review by the FDA.

3. GOING CONCERN (continued)-                                                   

and provide medical and scientific  evidence sufficient to demonstrate that     
Medizone (the drug) and the Medizone  Technology has been  successfully  used in
pre-clinical  studies  followed  by three  phases of well-  controlled  clinical
studies using human volunteer subjects.  The FDA will not grant an NDA unless it
contains  sufficient medical evidence and data to permit a body of qualified and
experienced  scientists  to  conclude  that  the new  drug  product  is safe and
effective for its recommended and proposed medical uses.  Historically,  the FDA
has held a strong bias against treating humans with ozone, due largely to issues
of safety.                                                                      

     In order to initiate  the first  phase  (i.e.,  Phase I) of human  clinical
trials  required  as part of an NDA,  an  applicant  must  submit  to the FDA an
application for an Investigational  New Drug Exemption  ("IND"),  which contains
adequate  information  to  satisfy  the FDA that  human  clinical  trials can be
conducted  without exposing the volunteer human subjects to an unreasonable risk
of illness or injury. The Company submitted an IND application  (assigned to the
Company by its former  president)  to the FDA on October 6, 1985,  and requested
FDA approval to commence human clinical trials using  ozone-oxygen to inactivate
HIV.  The FDA deemed the IND  application  to be  incomplete,  and  required the
Company to conduct  additional animal studies prior to commencing a large animal
study and human trials.  In September  1994,  after not  receiving  responses to
requests for  information  from the Company,  the FDA  inactivated the Company's
IND. The Company has no present  plans to commence a large animal  study,  which
would require,  as a precursor,  additional  small animal and  laboratory  work.
Accordingly,  there can be no assurance that the Company's IND application  will
ever be  re-opened.  Until an NDA has been  granted to the  Company,  it may not
distribute  ozone-generating  devices, except to researchers who agree to follow
FDA  guidelines,  and  provided  the  devices  are  labeled as  "Investigational
Devices."                                                                       

     Because  ozone  has been used to treat  humans  in  Europe  for at least 30
years,  the EU is more  accepting of human  clinical  trials of ozone  therapies
being conducted than is the United States. Accordingly, Management believes that
the Company  should pursue the option of  conducting  human  clinical  trials in
Europe,  using stringent  protocols that will meet EU standards,  with a view to
utilizing  the  results of such a trial in an effort to obtain EU  approval,  to
market the product in Europe and to re-open the Company's FDA file.             

     The management of the Company intends to seek additional funding which will
be utilized to fund  additional  research and continue  operations.  The Company
recognizes  that, if it is unable to raise  additional  capital,  it may find it
necessary to substantially reduce or cease operations.                          

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES                                   

Principles of Consolidation                                                     

     The consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of the Company
MCL, a 66.6% owned  subsidiary,  and  Medizone-Delaware  (an inactive  company).
Intercompany transactions have been eliminated.                                 

Cash and Cash Equivalents                                                       

     The  Company  considers  all highly  liquid  instruments  purchased  with a
maturity  at the  time  of  purchase  of  less  than  three  months  to be  cash
equivalents.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)-                      

Fixed Assets                                                                    

     Fixed  assets  are  stated  at cost.  Depreciation  is  computed  using the
straight-line  method  over five  years for office  equipment  and ten years for
furniture  and  fixtures.  Maintenance  and  repairs  are  charged to expense as
incurred.  Upon  retirement  or sale,  the cost of the assets  disposed  and the
related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting
gain or loss is credited or charged to income.                                  

Other Assets - Organization Costs                                               

     Organization  costs were deferred and amortized over a 60-month period on a
straight-line basis.                                                            

Loss per Share                                                                  

     The  computation  of primary loss per share of common stock is based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.                

Stock-Based Compensation                                                        

     In October 1995, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of  Financial   Accounting   Standard  No.  123,   Accounting  for   Stock-Based
Compensation.  The Company currently  accounts for its stock-based  compensation
plans using the accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.  Since the Company is not required
to adopt the fair value based recognition  provisions  prescribed under SFAS No.
123, it has elected to comply with the disclosure  requirements set forth in the
Statement,  which includes  disclosing pro forma net income as if the fair value
based method of accounting had been applied. (See Note 8.)                      

Estimates and Assumptions                                                       

     Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and
assumptions  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities,   the
disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities,  and the reported revenues and
expenses.  Actual  results  could vary from the  estimates  that were assumed in
preparing the financial statements.                                             

5. OTHER ASSETS                                                                 

Patent                                                                          

     In March 1987,  the Company  acquired a patent  from  Immunologics  Limited
Partnership in exchange for 1,000,000  shares of the Company's  common stock. In
1988,  Immunologics  purchased  for $25,000,  5,000,000  shares of the Company's
common  stock  from the  former  Chairman  and Chief  Executive  Officer  of the
Company.

Patent (continued)                                                              

     The patent covers a procedure for "ozone decontamination of blood and blood
products" through the treatment of stored blood and blood components.  The Board
of Directors assigned a value of approximately $700,000 to the patent based upon
the fair  market  value of the stock on the date of  acquisition  together  with
related legal costs.  The Company charged the cost of the patent to research and
development  expense at  acquisition  because  the  technologies  covered by the
patent have not been approved by the FDA.  Additionally,  the Company  agreed to
pay the seller a royalty  fee equal to 3% of the net  receipts  received  by the
Company in connection  with the sale of any product,  device or apparatus  which
embodies the patent.  The Company's  management  considers the  acquisition  and
retention  of the patent to be material in its  development  and  prospects.  In
1992, the General Partner of Immunologics became chairman of the Company's Board
of Directors and subsequently  resigned from the Company's Board of Directors in
September 1993.                                                                 

License Agreement                                                               

     On February 4, 1986, Medizone,  in exchange for shares of its common stock,
acquired  from a  principal  stockholder  his  interest  in a license  agreement
covering the distribution of ozone-generating  equipment.  The license agreement
was carried at $1.00 through  December 31, 1991;  as that was the  stockholder's
basis, and was written off as of December 31, 1992.                             

6.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (See also Notes 7 and 10)                     

     On May 14. 1997, the employment  contract of the Company's former President
and Chief  Operating  Executive  Officer was terminated  for cause.  The Company
hired a new President and Vice  President of Operations  (who is not a corporate
officer) at annual  salaries of $200,000 and $65,000  respectively,  The Company
does  not  have a  written  employment  agreement  with  its  President  or Vice
President  of  Operations.   The  employment  contract  of  the  Company's  Vice
President, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer for an annual salary of $72,000
plus expenses has remained unchanged.                                           

     In 1996 and 1995, the Company had  employment  contracts with two officers.
The former President and Chief Operating  Officer was paid $180,000 annually and
was reimbursed  monthly for expenses  related to a leased  automobile.  The Vice
President,  Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer is paid $72,000 annually, plus
expenses.                                                                       

     The Company  retains an  investor  relations  firm to act as the  Company's
liaison with the brokerage community. The agreement is for a period of one year,
but may be extended by the parties for additional one year periods.  It receives
a monthly payment of $2,000, plus expenses. As additional  compensation in 1996,
it received 250,000 shares of the Company's  common stock,  restricted under the
federal securities laws.                                                        

     In 1994,  the Company  had  consulting  relations  with two  officers.  The
President  and  Chief  Operating  Officer  was  paid  $72,000  annually  and was
reimbursed  monthly  for  expenses  related  to a  leased  automobile.  The Vice
President, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer was paid $36,000 annually.

6.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (See also Note 7 and 10) (continued)-         

     From November 17, 1992 through  December 31, 1994 the Company  maintained a
consulting relationship with the Company's Vice President, who is also Treasurer
and Chief Financial  Officer,  whereby the Company was billed in connection with
accounting  services  provided by a private  company owned by the Company's Vice
President.                                                                      

     For  the  year  ended  December  31,  1996,  the  Company  leased  from  an
unaffiliated  party,  office  space  in New York  City  under a  two-year  lease
expiring on February 28, 1998, at an annual rental of approximately $21,000. The
Company  terminated  this lease in June 1997 and paid $4,599 to the  landlord in
settlement of any claim for unpaid rent under the lease.  On September 23, 1997,
the Company entered into a three-year lease with an unaffiliated third party for
its  present  offices  in Salt  Lake  City at an  annual  rent of  approximately
$23,000.  The office is used for executive offices and administrative  purposes.
Future minimum rental commitments pursuant to this lease are as follows:        

Year Ended                                            
December 31,                            Amount        
1997                               $  5,746   
1998                                 23,214   
1999                                 24,144   
2000                                 18,649   

Total                                $71,753    

     During 1992, a financial consulting entity agreed to raise equity financing
for Medizone.  An agreement was executed requiring the Company to tender $50,000
to a third  party  whose  obligation  was to hold the  funds in  escrow  pending
completion of the financing; however, these sums were not tendered at that time.
In the event of completion of the financing,  the $50,000 would be released from
escrow to the  consultant to defray legal fees of the  consultant.  In the event
the  financing  failed to be  completed,  the funds were to be  returned  to the
Company. In a separate  transaction during 1992, the Company sold 250,000 shares
of common stock to five  investors  for  $50,000,  and caused the proceeds to be
paid directly to the third party in the pending financing transaction.  Medizone
acknowledged  constructive  receipt  of the funds by  executing  stock  purchase
agreements and the 250,000 shares were  subsequently  issued in 1993.  Since the
financing was not completed and the funds were not returned to the Company,  the
$50,000 has been expensed in the Company's financial statements.                

     On or about June 6, 1994,  Maureen  Abato,  the  Company's  former  outside
counsel, filed suit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New
York entitled Abato V. Medizone  International,  Inc., Medizone Canada, Ltd. and
Joseph S. Latino. The complaint contains thirteen causes of action. Three of the
causes of action are for breach of contract,  account  stated and quantum meruit
for recovery of unpaid legal fees  allegedly due plaintiff by the Company in the
amount of $67,864.  The remaining  claims are for fraud,  wrongful  termination,
sexual  discrimination,  defamation,  tortious  interference  with  contract and
intentional  infliction  of  emotional  distress.  With respect to each of these
causes of action,  plaintiff seeks unspecified compensatory damages and punitive
damages of not less than $1 million.

6.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (See also Note 7 and 10) (continued)-         

     On October 24, 1994, the Company and the other defendants moved for partial
summary judgment dismissing all of plaintiff's claims except her legal fee claim
based on quantum  meruit.  By decision and order dated  February  14, 1995,  the
Court dismissed all of the plaintiff's  claims except for breach of contract and
for an account  stated;  however,  the court  limited  plaintiff's  claim to her
actual damages and dismissed her claim for punitive damages on these counts.  In
addition, the court dismissed these claims in their entirety as against Medizone
Canada, Ltd. and Dr. Latino.                                                    

     A Stipulation of Settlement was executed by the parties,  dated October 30,
1995,  whereby  the  Company  agreed to pay  $61,000 in full  settlement  of all
remaining claims, to be paid as follows:                                        

November 15, 1995                 20,000

April 15, 1996                     5,000                
May 15, 1996                       5,000                
June 15, 1996                      5,000                
July 15, 1996                      6,000                

Total                           $ 61,000                

As of the date of this report, all payments have been made in full.   

     On November 10, 1995,  the plaintiff  executed a release  against  Medizone
International, Inc., Medizone Canada Ltd. and Joseph S. Latino.                 

7. ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS                                        

     At December 31, 1996, there were 41,639,323 shares and 88,412,290 shares of
restricted and unrestricted common stock outstanding respectively.              

     Unless otherwise stated,  all transactions  shown below were with unrelated

(the "Securities Act").  Approximately $635,447 of these proceeds were from     
the sale of the Company's  common stock at a per share price of $.10  (including
$37,500 for 375,000  shares from Richard G.  Solomon,  at the time a director of
the Company).  The remaining  $90,000 were from the sale of 900,000 Units,  each
Unit consisting of one share of the Company's common stock,  $.001 par value, at
a per share  price of $.10 to a director  pursuant  to the  non-public  offering
exemption from  registration  under the Securities Act. In May 1996, the Company
issued 600,000 shares of its common stock to employees and 250,000 shares of its
common stock to its public relations consultant as additional compensation.  The
Company also issued  565,875  shares of its common stock to various  consultants
for services rendered.                                                          

8. STOCK OPTIONS                                                                

     During  1986,  the  Company  granted  nonqualified  options  to a number of
persons,  consisting of an officer,  employee and consultants to the Company, to
purchase an aggregate  of 1,150,000  shares of common stock of the Company at an
initial  exercise price of $.25 per share,  the estimated fair value at the date
of grant.                                                                       

     During 1988, the Company granted a nonqualified option to a newly appointed
member of the Board of  Directors  of the Company to purchase  an  aggregate  of
150,000  shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $.001 per
share. The options were exercisable  50,000 shares on each of November 29, 1989,
1990 and 1991 and were to expire on November 29, 1994.  This director  exercised
the option which became exercisable on November 29, 1989 and resigned on January
22, 1990.                                                                       

     During 1989, in  consideration  for services  rendered over the prior three
years,  the  Company  granted  to a member  of it  Scientific  Advisory  Board a
nonqualified option to purchase 325,000 shares of common stock of the Company at
an exercise price of $.001 per share. This option was exercised in 1989.        

     During 1990,  in  consideration  for services  rendered over the prior four
years,  the  Company  granted  to a member of its  Scientific  Advisory  Board a
nonqualified option to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock of the Company at
an initial exercise price of $.10 per share. This option was exercised in 1991. 

     All options were  exercisable for a period of five years beginning one year
from the date of grant.  Compensation expense,  measured as to the excess of the
estimated  fair value over the  exercise  price,  was  accrued  over the service
period. If, on the date of exercise,  the estimated fair value of a share of the
Company's  common  stock  exceeded the exercise  price,  the exercise  price was
decreased by a like amount (but not below the par value of $.001). At the end of
each fiscal period,  total accrued  compensation  was recorded as the difference
between the adjusted  exercise price and the fair market value at the end of the
period for all exercisable  shares. The total accrued  compensation was adjusted
each year for changes in the fair market  value of the  Company's  stock and for
option exercises and cancellations.                                             

     The shares  issued in  connection  with the  exercise of the  options  were
restricted shares to be held for investment purposes only.                      

     In 1995, as part the their employment  agreements,  the Company's president
and chief executive officer,  and vice-president and chief financial officer and
treasurer, were granted options to purchase an aggregate of 4,500,000.

33% on January 1, 1996, 33% on January 1,  1997, and 33% on January 1, 1998. The
fair  value of each  option  grant  is  estimated  on the  grant  date  using an
option-pricing  model with the following  weighted-average  assumptions used for
grants in 1995: risk-free interest rate of 6%, and expected lives of 3 years for
the options.

to expire on December 31, 1992 but were  extended to December 31, 1995. In 1988,
MCL issued  1,938,000  shares of common stock at $.005 per share to a consultant
for services rendered. Following these transactions,  the Company's ownership of
MCL was 72.2%.                                                                  

     In 1990,  MCL issued  983,333 shares of common stock at prices ranging from
$.05 to $.075 in  private  offerings  to two  individuals  unrelated  to MCL for
proceeds of $57,400. MCL also issued 850,000 shares to five individuals, 550,000
shares to the three directors of MCL, 50,000 shares to an employee,  and 250,000
shares to a consultant for services  rendered to which MCL assigned the value of
$.05 per share for an aggregate of $42,500.  Following these  transactions,  the
Company's  ownership of MCL was 68,6%.  These  transactions  had previously been
incorrectly  reported as minority  interest.  Minority  interest should not have
been recorded on the balance sheet because of the magnitude of the stockholders'
deficiency of these  stockholders.  Accordingly,  amounts  previously  stated as
minority interest have been restated to additional paid-in capital.

11.   RESTATEMENTS OF PRIOR PERIODS (Unaudited)                                 

     Beginning  in 1991,  the Company  began  selling off its holdings of MCL to
raise cash for operations.  The Company sold 100,000 and 610,000 shares of MCL's
common stock during 1991 and 1992, respectively, through a broker for $5,000 and
$81,100  at $.05 per share in 1991 and per share  prices  ranging  from $.093 to
$.179 in 1992.  Because the Company's  investment in MCL was only $2, the entire
$5,000  and  $81,100  were  recorded  as gains  in the  Company's  statement  of
operations  during the fourth  quarter of 1991 and the first  three  quarters of
1992, respectively. During the fourth quarter of 1992, an adjustment was made to
classify these sales as equity transactions.                                    

The effect of these restatements is as follows:

     These restatements do not affect previously reported loss per share because
of rounding.                                                                    

See Note 9 for restatement of minority interest in prior years.       

     The Company has restated its financial statements to reflect adjustments to
write off  liabilities  which were accrued and expensed in years prior to fiscal
1992. These adjustments  increased  previously reported  accumulated deficit and
reduced  previously  reported  results of operations (for the period January 31,
1986,  date of  inception,  through  December 31, 1994) by $219,422.  During the
first quarter of 1995, the Company  recorded a further  reduction to accumulated
deficit  in the  amount  of  $71,806  relating  to the  cancellation  of  shares
previously issued to former management.

The components of the provision for income taxes are as follows:                

                                                        [Enlarge/Download Table]

                                                                                       December 31, 1996

     At December 31, 1996 and 1995, deferred tax assets (liabilities)  consisted                               
of the following:

Noncurrent deferred tax liabilities                -                   -        
Current deferred tax assets                      1,651,738            1,470,725 
Noncurrent deferred tax assets                     -                    -

     At  December  31,  1996,  the  Company  has  a  net  operating  loss  (NOL)
carryforward  totaling  approximately  $10,500,000  that may be  offset  against
future  taxable  income in varying  amounts  through  2005 No  benefit  has been
reported in the 1996 or 1995 financial statements,  however, because the Company
believes  there  is at least a 50%  chance  that the  carryforward  will  expire
unused. Accordingly, the tax benefit of the loss carryforward has been offset by
a valuation  allowance of the same  amount.  The expected tax benefit that would
result from applying federal statutory tax rates to the pretax loss differs from
amounts  reported  in  the  financial  statements  because  of the  increase  in
valuation allowance.                                                            

     Under certain  circumstances,  Section 382 of the Internal  Revenue Code of
1986 restricts a corporation's use of its NOL carryforward. Due to the Company's
issuance of additional stock, the Company's use of its existing NOL carryforward
could be limited.  Therefore,  the Company may have to pay federal  income taxes
sooner than if the use of its NOL carryforward were not restricted.             

13.   REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK                                                   

     On February 12, 1993, per a settlement agreement  (Agreement),  the Company
issued  200,000  shares of restricted  common stock to an unrelated  third party
(Party).  According to the Agreement,  if net funds  available  specified in the

securities,  it must use its best  efforts  to include  such  shares in the     
registration  statement.  If all,  or any  portion of the  shares  have not been
purchased by the Company  pursuant to the  exercise of the put option  described
above,  or all the shares have not been  covered by an  effective  registration,
then the Company  shall be required  to pay,  no later than April 13,  1995,  an
amount equal to the lesser of $50,000 minus the aggregate  purchase price amount
payable under the formula set forth in the Agreement,  or $25,000.  In September
1995,  the Company paid $5,000 and issued  200,000  shares of restricted  common
stock in full and final settlement of the Agreement.                            

14.   FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS                                       

     The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash,
receivable from affiliate,  accounts  payable and notes payable  approximate the
respective values. The estimated fair values have been determined by the Company
using  appropriate  valuation  methodologies  and available market  information.
Considerable  judgment is necessarily  required in  interpreting  market data to
develop the  estimates of fair value,  and,  accordingly,  the estimates are not
necessarily  indicative  of the  amounts  that the  Company  could  realize in a
current market  exchange.  A comparison of the carrying value of those financial
instruments,  none of which  are  held  for  trading  purposes,  is as  follows:

     Cash receivable from affiliate and accounts payable.  The carrying value of
such items approximates their fair value at December 31, 1996.                  

     Short-term  debt.  Fair  value of such  debt is  based  on rates  currently
available  to the Company for debt of similar  terms and  remaining  maturities.
There are no quoted prices for the debt or similar debt.
