Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as promulgated in the United States of America ("U.S.") and with instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, we have included all adjustments considered necessary (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) for a fair presentation. Operating results for the six months ended December 31, 2017 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. You should read these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017 filed on November 3, 2017. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017 has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K for that year.

Cavitation Technologies, Inc. (referred to herein, unless otherwise indicated, as "the Company," "CTi," "we," "us," and "our") is a Nevada corporation originally incorporated under the name Bio Energy, Inc. CTi has developed, patented, and commercialized proprietary technology that may be used in liquid processing applications. CTi's patented Nano Reactor® is the critical component of CTi Nano Neutralization® System which is commercially proven to reduce operating costs and increase yields in refining vegetable oils. CTi has two patented systems and has filed several national and international patents to employ its proprietary technology in applications including, vegetable oil refining, wastewater treatment, biodiesel, algae oil extraction, and alcoholic beverage enhancement.

In July 1, 2017, the Company adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments (“new revenue standard”) to all contracts using the full retrospective method resulting in a change to previously reported balance sheet and statement of stockholders’ deficit. There was no change in previously reported statement of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 (see further discussion in Note 3).

Management Plan Regarding on Going Concerns

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  During the six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company posted a net loss of $65,843 and as had a working capital deficiency of $493,618 and a stockholders' deficit of $360,744.   These factors, among others, raise doubts about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from an inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

As of December 31, we had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $860,522 and are not generating sufficient funds to cover operations. In addition to the funds on hand, management believes we may require additional funds to continue to operate our business. Management's plan is to generate income from operations by continuing to license our technology globally through our strategic partners, Desmet Ballestra Group (Desmet) and GEA Westfalia, AG (GEA). Desmet has agreed to provide us monthly advances of $50,000 through August 2018 to be applied against gross profit share from future sales pursuant to a January 2016 agreement. GEA has agreed to provide us monthly advances of $25,000 less applicable taxes through January 2020, to be applied against gross profit share from future sales pursuant to January 2017 agreement.

We may also attempt to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to fund operations and provide additional working capital. However, there is no assurance that such financing will be consummated or obtained in sufficient amounts necessary to meet the Company's needs, that the Company will be able to achieve profitable operations or that the Company will be able to meet its future contractual obligations. Should management fail to obtain such financing, the Company may curtail its operations.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cavitation Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Hydrodynamic Technology, Inc. Inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fair Value Measurement

FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820-10 requires entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. ASC 820-10 defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

At December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, inventory and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are used in reserve for inventory obsolescence, impairment analysis for fixed assets, accrual of potential liabilities, deferred tax assets and valuing our stock options, warrants, and common stock issued for services, among other items. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non- employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested, and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

The fair value of the Company's common stock options and warrants grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the common stock options, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes option pricing model and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

Dependence on Desmet Ballestra

Our revenue is almost entirely dependent on Desmet Ballestra who is our exclusive distribution agent with regard to the CTi Nano Neutralization® System for edible oils.

During the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, 98% and 100%, respectively, of our revenues were derived from Desmet sales efforts (see Note 4).

Earnings( Loss) Per Share

The Company’s computation of earnings (loss) per share (EPS) includes basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Shares of restricted stock subject to vesting are included in basic weighted average common shares outstanding from the time they vest. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the net income (loss) of the Company. In computing diluted EPS, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised, and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price and there were no instruments that would result in issuance of additional shares during the period.  

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had 11,685,852 stock options and 75,926,510 stock warrants outstanding to purchase shares of common stock that were not included in the diluted net loss per common share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 eliminated transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 required that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also required additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 201-09 became part of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) as Topic 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers or ASC 606. We have adopted these changes using the full retrospective method by presenting as if the new revenue standard had been applied to all prior period financial statements presented herein (see Note 3).

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

Business and Credit Concentrations

The Company’s cash balances in a financial institution at times may exceed federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2017, and June 30, 2017, before adjustments for outstanding checks and deposits in transit, the Company had $860,522 and $548,585, respectively, deposited in one financial institution. The deposits are federally insured up to $250,000. The Company believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these cash balances because of its assessment of the creditworthiness and financial viability of this financial institution.

Recorded revenues during the six months ended December 31, 2017 of $677,855 were attributable to two customers (see Note 4).

Note 3 - Adoption of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company has developed, patented, and commercialized proprietary technology called Nano Reactor® that may be used in liquid processing applications. The Company generates revenues from the sale of the Nano Reactor® to customers/distributors as well as share in gross profit from the sale of such reactors by our distributors to their customers.

Through June 30, 2017, revenue from the sale of our Nano Reactor® systems was recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists; shipment has occurred, including transfer of title and risk of loss for product sales, services have been rendered for service revenues; the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectability was reasonably assured.  We are also entitled to a gross profit share from our distributor from the sale of the reactors to their customers. Such gross profit share was not fixed at the time of delivery, and as such, revenue was recognized when the profit share was fixed and determinable, which was generally be upon delivery and installation of the NANO Neutralization System by the distributor to its customer.

On July 1, 2017, we adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments (“new revenue standard”) to all contracts. Sales revenue from the sale of our Nano Reactors continues to be recognized when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities. The Company now recognizes the corresponding gross profit at the time of shipment of the Nano reactor hardware in accordance to ASC 606 as such shipment is deemed to be the only performance obligation and the Company has no more continuing obligation to our distributor. In addition, the Company has no control with regards to the sale and installation of Nano Neutralization System, between our distributor and the end customer.

The Company has determined that the gross profit to be earned from its distributor as a variable consideration that requires estimation in determining the transaction price, and as such all or a portion can be recognized using the most likely amount approach (subject to the variable consideration constraint). Estimates are available from our distributor which are considered in the determination of the most likely amount. However, given the lack of control over the sale to the end customer and the lack of history of prior sales, the Company considered these as a variable revenue constraint that required consideration. Thus, the amount of revenue recognized is being limited to the actual amount of cash received under the contract which the Company has determined as not refundable and preclude any probable of future revenue reversal. Further, Company has been able to develop an expectation of the actual collection based on its historical experience.

Pursuant to the transition requirements of ASC 606, the Company adopted the full retrospective method. Under the full retrospective method, the Company is required to retrospectively apply the new revenue standard to all period presented as if the new revenue standards had been applied to all prior period. There were no changes to the previously reported statement of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 as the gross profit share of $833,819 was incurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2017.

The effect of the changes made to our previously reported consolidated June 30, 2017 balance sheet for the adoption of ASC 606, were as follows:

A – To record accounts receivable as of June 30, 2017 from the sale of nano reactors to a distributor. For financial reporting purposes, this amount was deducted from the outstanding advances totaling $833,819 as of June 30, 2017, also received from the same distributor.

B – To record gross profit revenues amounting to $833,819 in accordance with the new revenue standards.

Note 4 - Agreement with Distributors

Desmet Ballestra Agreement

On January 22, 2016, the Company signed a three-year agreement with Desmet effective August 1, 2015 for the sale and marketing of the Company’s Nano reactor system. As part of the agreement, Desmet will provide, under certain conditions, limited monthly advance payments of $50,000 against future gross profit share to CTi through August 2018. The agreement may be terminated in case the Company loses ownership of patents and patent applications being used in the NANO Neutralization System.

The Company recognizes revenue from sale of reactors upon shipment and acceptance by Desmet, as the Company has no further obligations to Desmet other than the reactor’s two-year standard warranty. In addition, Desmet pays for such reactors on credit terms and the amount of the sale is recorded as a receivable upon acceptance by Desmet. The Company also receives a share in gross margin or profit from the sale of Desmet’s integrated neutralization system to its customer of which the reactors are an integral component, however, such amount is subject to adjustment based on certain factors including costs over run. The Company recognizes the gross profit at the time of shipment of the Nano reactor hardware in accordance to ASC 606 as such shipment is deemed to be the only performance obligation and the Company has no more continuing obligation to Desmet. In addition, the Company has no control with regards to the sale and installation of Nano Neutralization System, between our distributor and the end customer. The Company has determined that the gross profit to be earned from Desmet as a variable consideration that requires estimation in determining the transaction price, and as such all or a portion can be recognized using the most likely amount approach (subject to the variable consideration constraint). Estimates are available from Desmet which are considered in the determination of the most likely amount. However, given the lack of control over the sale to the end customer and the lack of history of prior sales, the Company considered these as a variable revenue constraint that required consideration. Thus, the amount of revenue recognized is being limited to the actual amount of cash received under the contract which the Company has determined as not refundable and preclude any probable of future revenue reversal. Further, Company has been able to develop an expectation of the actual collection based on its historical experience.

During the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized revenue of $450,130 and $120,000, respectively, related to the shipment and acceptance of reactors to Desmet. In addition, during the six months ended December 31, 2017, we recognized revenues of $215,000 from our share in gross margin or profit. There were no gross margin or profit revenues recognized during the six months ended December 31, 2016.

GEA Westfalia Agreement

In January 2017 we entered into a global technology license, R&D and marketing agreement with respect to our patented Nano Reactor™ technology, processes and applications. Under the agreement, GEA has been granted a worldwide exclusive license to integrate our patented technology into water treatment application, milk and juice pasteurization, and certain food related processes. The license agreement between us and GEA has a three-year term and provides for the payment of $300,000 per year in advanced license fees or share in gross margin or profit to us.

GEA Westfalia Separator manufactures filtration and equipment such as separators, clarifiers, decanters and membrane filtration systems. This equipment is used for the purification of suspensions, the separation of fluid mixtures with simultaneous removal of solids, extraction and concentration or removal of liquids from solids. The technological dominance of the company is based on over one hundred fifteen years of innovation, first-class engineering solutions and comprehensive processing capabilities. The company was founded in 1893 in Oelde, Germany, and since 1994 has been a part of the GEA Group AG and is a business unit within the GEA Mechanical Equipment segment. In 1950, Westfalia Separator established US and Canadian corporations to serve as sales and marketing arms to compete in the North American market for centrifuges.

During the period ended December 31, 2017, we received advances totaling $252,549 from GEA, recognized revenue of $12,725 related to the shipment and acceptance of reactors to GEA and recorded $239,824 in advances from GEA as deferred revenue as the reactors have not been delivered. There were no gross profit or margin revenue recognized as such amount has not yet been finalized with GEA.

Note 5 - Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consisted of the following as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017:

Depreciation expense for the six months ended December 31, 2017 amounted to $17,232.

Note 6 - Accrued Payroll and Payroll Taxes

As of June 30, 2017, the Company had accrued salaries to current and former officers of the Company amounting to $994,033. Included in this accrual was approximately $131,000 due to a former officer of the Company. In October 2017, the Company paid $30,000 to the former officer as settlement of the unpaid salary of $131,000.  As a result, the Company recorded a gain of $100,972 to extinguish the remaining accrual.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had accrued salaries to current and former officers of the Company amounting to $887,577.

Common Stock

During the period ended December 31, 2017, the Company granted a total of 400,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $16,000 to consultants for services rendered. The shares of common stock were deemed earned upon issuance and valued at the respective date of the agreement.

Stock Options

The Company has not adopted a formal stock option plan. However, it has assumed outstanding stock options resulting from the acquisition of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hydrodynamic Technology, Inc. In addition, the Company has made periodic non- plan grants. A summary of the stock option activity during the three months ended December 31, 2017 is as follows:

There was no intrinsic value of the outstanding options as of December 31, 2017 as the exercise price of these options were greater than the market price at December 31, 2017.

The following table summarizes additional information concerning options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2017.

Warrants

A summary of the Company's warrant activity and related information for the six months ended on December 31, 2017 is as follows.

As of December 31, 2017, all warrants granted were vested. There was no intrinsic value of the outstanding warrants as of December 31, 2017 as the exercise price of these warrants were greater than the market price at December 31, 2017. The following table summarizes additional information concerning warrants outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2017.

Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies

Royalty Agreements

On July 1, 2008, our wholly owned subsidiary entered into Patent Assignment Agreements with two parties, our President and Technology Development Supervisor, where certain devices and methods involved in the hydrodynamic cavitation processes invented by the President and the Technology Development Supervisor have been assigned to the Subsidiary.  In exchange, the Subsidiary agreed to pay a royalty of 5% of gross revenues to each of the President and Technology Development Supervisor for licensing of the technology and leasing of the related equipment embodying the technology. These agreements were subsequently assumed by Cavitation Technologies on May 13, 2010 from its subsidiary. The Company's President and Technology Development Supervisor both waived their rights to receive royalty payments that have accrued, or that may accrue, on any gross revenue generated through December 31, 2017.

On April 30, 2008 and as amended on November 22, 2010, our wholly owned subsidiary entered into an employment agreement with our former Director of Chemical and Analytical Department (the "Inventor") to receive an amount equal to 5% of actual gross royalties received from the royalty stream in the first year in which the Company receives royalty payments from the patent which the Inventor was the legally named inventor, and 3% of actual gross royalties received by the Company resulting from the patent in each subsequent year. As of December 31, 2017, no patents have been granted in which this person is the legally named inventor.

Litigation

The Company may be involved in certain legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. Except for income tax contingencies (commencing April 1, 2009), the Company records accruals for contingencies to the extent that management concludes that the occurrence is probable and that the related amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as its plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Its actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Overview of our Business

Cavitation Technologies, Inc. ("CTi"), a Nevada corporation, was originally incorporated under the name Bio Energy, Inc. We design and engineer environmentally friendly technology-based systems that are designed to serve large, growing, global markets such as vegetable oil refining, renewable fuels, water treatment, algae oil extraction, biodiesel production, water-oil emulsions and crude oil yield enhancement.  Our systems are designed to process industrial liquids at a lower cost and higher yield than conventional technology. We are a process and product development firm that has developed, patented, and commercialized proprietary technology.

CTi has developed, patented, and commercialized proprietary technology that can be used for processing of industrial fluids. CTi's patented Nano Reactor® is the critical components of the CTi Nano Neutralization® System which is commercially proven to reduce operating costs and increase yields in processing oils and fats. CTi has two issued patents relating to our Nano Reactor® systems and has filed several national and international patents to employ its proprietary technology in applications including, vegetable oil refining, biodiesel production, waste water treatment, algae oil extraction, and alcoholic beverage enhancement.

During the six months ended December 31, 2017, we recorded revenue of $677,855 and net loss of $65,843.

In July 1, 2017, the Company adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) and all the related amendments (“new revenue standard”) to all contracts using the full retrospective method resulting in a change to previously reported balance sheet and statement of stockholders’ deficit. As a result, all amounts in prior periods have been adjusted in the accompanying discussion as if ASC 606 was adopted as of the earliest period presented. There was no change in previously reported statement of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016. See further discussion at Note 3 in the accompanying financial statements.

Management's Plan

We are engaged in manufacturing our Neutralization System, which is designed to help refine vegetable oils such as soybean, canola, sunflower and rapeseed.  Our near-term goal is to continue to sell our systems through our partners, Desmet Ballestra and GEA. During the six months ended December 31, 2017, we recorded revenues of $677,855 and incurred a net loss of $65,843.  As of December 31, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $493,618 and a stockholders' deficit of $360,744. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.

As of December 31, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $860,522 and are not generating sufficient funds to cover operations. In addition to the funds on hand, Management believes we may require additional funds to continue to operate our business. Management's plan is to generate income from operations by continuing to market our technology and products globally through our strategic partner, Desmet Ballestra and GEA Group.

Desmet and GEA are providing monthly advances of $50,000 and $25,000 respectively, however, we anticipate that we may need additional funding, and we may attempt to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to fund operations and to provide additional working capital. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such financing will be or obtained sufficient amounts necessary to meet our business needs, or that we will be able to meet our future contractual obligations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from our inability to continue as a going concern. As a result of the aforementioned factors, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the fiscal ended June 30, 2017, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies

CTi's critical accounting policies and estimates are included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017 and did not change for the six months ended December 31, 2017, except for the adaption of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments to all contracts (see Note 3) of the accompanying financial statements).

Results of Operations

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2017 and 2016

Revenue

The Company generates revenues from the sale of the Nano Reactor® to customers/distributor as well as share in gross profit from the sale of such reactors by our distributors to their customers.

Through June 30, 2017, revenue from the sale of our Nano Reactor® systems was recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists; shipment has occurred, including transfer of title and risk of loss for product sales, services have been rendered for service revenues; the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectability was reasonably assured.  We are also entitled to a gross profit share from our distributor from the sale of the reactors to their customers. Such gross profit share was not fixed at the time of delivery, and as such, revenue was recognized when the profit share was fixed and determinable, which was generally be upon delivery and installation of the NANO Neutralization System by the distributor to its customer.

On July 1, 2017, we adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments (“new revenue standard”) to all contracts. Sales revenue from the sale of our Nano Reactors continues to be recognized when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities. The Company now recognizes the corresponding gross profit at the time of shipment of the Nano reactor hardware in accordance to ASC 606 as such shipment is deemed to be the only performance obligation and the Company has no more continuing obligation to our distributor. In addition, the Company has no control with regards to the sale and installation of Nano Neutralization System, between our distributor and the end customer.

The Company has determined that the gross profit to be earned from its distributor as a variable consideration that requires estimation in determining the transaction price, and as such all or a portion can be recognized using the most likely amount approach (subject to the variable consideration constraint). Estimates are available from our distributor which are considered in the determination of the most likely amount. However, given the lack of control over the sale to the end customer and the lack of history of prior sales, the Company considered these as a variable revenue constraint that required consideration. Thus, the amount of revenue recognized is being limited to the actual amount of cash received under the contract which the Company has determined as not refundable and preclude any probable of future revenue reversal. Further, Company has been able to develop an expectation of the actual collection based on its historical experience.

Pursuant to the transition requirements of ASC 606, the Company adopted the full retrospective method. Under the full retrospective method, the Company is required to retrospectively apply the new revenue standard to all period presented as if the new revenue standards had been applied to all prior period. There were no changes to the previously reported results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2016.

During the three months ended December 31, 2017 we recorded $222,855 in revenue from sale of reactors to our distributors, Desmet and GEA pursuant to four purchase orders. In addition, we also recorded revenues of $115,000 to account for our share in gross margin or profit.

During the three months ended December 31, 2016 we recorded $35,000 in revenue from sale of reactors to our distributor, Desmet pursuant to one purchase order. There were no revenues recognized from gross margin or profit.

There was no similar transaction in the prior period.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2017 and 2016

Revenue

The Company generates revenues from the sale of the Nano Reactor® to customers/distributor as well as share in gross profit from the sale of such reactors by our distributors to their customers.

Through June 30, 2017, revenue from the sale of our Nano Reactor® systems was recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists; shipment has occurred, including transfer of title and risk of loss for product sales, services have been rendered for service revenues; the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectability was reasonably assured.  We are also entitled to a gross profit share from our distributor from the sale of the reactors to their customers. Such gross profit share was not fixed at the time of delivery, and as such, revenue was recognized when the profit share was fixed and determinable, which was generally be upon delivery and installation of the NANO Neutralization System by the distributor to its customer.

On July 1, 2017, we adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments (“new revenue standard”) to all contracts. Sales revenue from the sale of our Nano Reactors continues to be recognized when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities. The Company now recognizes the corresponding gross profit at the time of shipment of the Nano reactor hardware in accordance to ASC 606 as such shipment is deemed to be the only performance obligation and the Company has no more continuing obligation to our distributor. In addition, the Company has no control with regards to the sale and installation of Nano Neutralization System, between our distributor and the end customer.

The Company has determined that the gross profit to be earned from its distributor as a variable consideration that requires estimation in determining the transaction price, and as such all or a portion can be recognized using the most likely amount approach (subject to the variable consideration constraint). Estimates are available from our distributor which are considered in the determination of the most likely amount. However, given the lack of control over the sale to the end customer and the lack of history of prior sales, the Company considered these as a variable revenue constraint that required consideration. Thus, the amount of revenue recognized is being limited to the actual amount of cash received under the contract which the Company has determined as not refundable and preclude any probable of future revenue reversal. Further, Company has been able to develop an expectation of the actual collection based on its historical experience.

Pursuant to the transition requirements of ASC 606, the Company adopted the full retrospective method. Under the full retrospective method, the Company is required to retrospectively apply the new revenue standard to all period presented as if the new revenue standards had been applied to all prior period. There were no changes to the previously reported results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2016.

During the six months ended December 31, 2017 we recorded $462,855 in revenue from sale of reactors to our distributors, Desmet and GEA pursuant to six purchase orders. In addition, we also recorded revenues of $215,000 to account for our share in gross margin or profit.

During the six months ended December 31, 2016 we recorded $120,000 in revenue from sale of reactors to our distributor, Desmet pursuant to two purchase order. There were no revenues recognized from gross margin or profit.

Cost of Revenue

During the six months ended December 31, 2017, our cost of sales amounted to $33,206, and to $15,824 during the same period in prior year, which was the result of the revenue transactions described above.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2017 amounted to $811,464 compared with $614,996 for the same period in 2016, an increase of $196,468, or 32%. The increase in operating expenses was due to increase in stock-based compensation of $16,000, professional fees such as accounting, legal and consulting of $108,000 and payroll of $57,000.

Research and development (R&D) expenses remained relatively low as we continued to rely on Desmet and GEA for support in R&D and development of new applications for our technology. It is our intention to pursue R&D as our cash position permits.

Gain on Settlement of Debt

During the six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company settled a lawsuit with a former officer of the Company for $30,000.  As a result, the Company recorded a gain of $100,972 to extinguish the remaining accrual upon payment of the settled amount of $30,000. There was no similar transaction in the prior period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.   As of December 31, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $493,618 and a stockholders' deficit of $360,744. Furthermore, we have been dependent on most of our funding from technology agreements with our distributors. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from an inability of us to continue as a going concern.

Management's plan is to generate income from operations by licensing our technology globally through our strategic partners, the Desmet Ballestra Group (Desmet) and GEA Westfalia (GEA). In January 2016, we signed a marketing and research and development agreement with Desmet which include among others, a monthly advance of $50,000 through August 2018 that will be applied to gross profit share from future sales. In January 2017, we signed a similar marketing and research and development agreement with GEA which include among others, a monthly advance of $25,000 through January 2020, that will be applied to gross profit share from future sales. We will need additional funding, and we will attempt to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to fund operations and to provide additional working capital. However, there is no assurance that such financing will be consummated or obtained in sufficient amounts necessary to meet the Company's needs, or that the Company will be able to meet its future contractual obligations. Should management fail to obtain such financing, the Company may curtail its operations.

At December 31, 2017, we had cash on hand in the amount of $860,522. In addition to the funds on hand, we will require additional funds to continue to operate our business. This includes expenses we will incur in connection with costs to manufacture and ship our products; costs to design and implement an effective system of internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures; costs of maintaining our status as a public company by filing periodic reports with the SEC and costs required to protect our intellectual property. In addition, we have contractual commitments for salaries to our executive officers. In light of our financial commitments over the next several months and its liquidity constraints, we have implemented cost reduction measures in all areas of operations. We intend to review these measures on an ongoing basis and make additional decisions as may be required.

Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended December 31, 2017 amounted to $311,937, compared to net cash used of $257,966 for the same period in fiscal 2016. Funding for the operating activities was provided primarily by sales of our systems to Desmet and advances from distributors. During the six months ended December 31, 2017, we paid $316,305 in employees' compensation, compared to $259,307 in the prior period
