            Bio-One Inc. FRANCHISE DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT                                                                                                                                                        1
                                                       STATE COVER PAGE
            Your state may have franchise laws that require a franchisor to register or file with a state franchise administrator 
            before offering or selling in your state. REGISTRATION OF A FRANCHISE BY A STATE DOES NOT MEAN THAT 
            THE STATE RECOMMENDS THE FRANCHISE OR HAS VERIFIED THE INFORMATION IN THIS DISCLOSURE 
            DOCUMENT.
            Call the state franchise administrator listed in Exhibit “F” for information about the franchisor, or about franchising in 
            your state.
            MANY FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS DO NOT ALLOW YOU TO RENEW UNCONDITIONALLY AFTER THE INITIAL 
            TERM EXPIRES. YOU MAY HAVE TO SIGN A NEW AGREEMENT WITH DIFFERENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS 
            IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE YOUR BUSINESS. BEFORE YOU BUY, CONSIDER WHAT RIGHTS 
            YOU HAVE TO RENEW OUR FRANCHISE, IF ANY, AND WHAT TERMS YOU MIGHT HAVE TO ACCEPT IN 
            ORDER TO RENEW.
            Please consider the following RISK FACTORS before you buy this franchise:
               1.  THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH US AND CONDUCT 
                   THE ARBITRATION IN [YOUR STATE]. OUT OF STATE ARBITRATION MAY FORCE YOU TO ACCEPT A 
                   LESS FAVORABLE SETTLEMENT FOR DISPUTES. IT MAY ALSO COST YOU MORE TO ARBITRATE 
                   WITH US IN [YOUR COMPANY’S STATE] THAN IN YOUR OWN STATE.
                   THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT STATES THAT ARIZONA GOVERNS THE AGREEMENT; AND THIS 
                   LAW MAY NOT PROVIDE THE SAME PROTECTIONS AND BENEFITS AS LOCAL LAW. YOU MAY WANT 
                   TO COMPARE THESE LAWS.
               2.  THERE MAY BE OTHER RISKS CONCERNING THIS FRANCHISE.
                   NOTE:  THE AGREEMENT PROVISIONS REFERRED TO IN THE RISK FACTORS MAY BE VOID UNDER 
                   SOME STATE FRANCHISE LAWS AND SOME STATE FRANCHISE LAWS MAY REQUIRE DISCLOSURE 
                   OF ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS. SEE EXHIBIT “G”.
            We may use the services of one or more FRANCHISE BROKERS or referral sources to assist us in selling our 
            franchise. A franchise broker or referral source represents us, not you. We pay this person a fee for selling our 
            franchise or referring you to us. You should be sure to do your own investigation of the franchise.
