NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
As of and for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021
Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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.
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 nine months ended March 31, 2022 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022. 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, 2021 filed on October 13, 2021. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K for that year.
Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. During the nine months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred a loss of $(713,000), and at March 31, 2022, the Company had a working capital deficit of $612,000. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm, in their report on our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
As of March, 31 2022 we had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $779,000 and are not generating sufficient funds to cover operations. In addition to the cash 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, including the extension or renewal of our existing global R and D, Marketing and Technology License Agreement with Desmet Ballestra Group (Desmet), agreement with Alchemy Beverages, Inc (ABI), and agreement with Enviro Watertek, LLC (EWT).
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.
| 7 |
Covid-19
During the nine months ended March 31, 2022, the Company believes the COVID-19 pandemic did not materially impact its operating results due to the nature of the Company’s business and its operations. The Company has not observed any impairments of its assets or a significant change in the fair value of its assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At this time, it is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company has been following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its employees, including the temporary closure of its corporate office and having employees work remotely. Most vendors have transitioned to electronic submission of invoices and payments.
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 allowance for bad debts, 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.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).
Revenue from the sale of the Company’s Nano Reactors is recognized when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities as this is our sole performance obligation under these contracts and we have no continuing obligation to the customer.
Revenue from the Company’s share of gross profit to be earned from distributors, as defined, which the Company treats as variable consideration, is recognized using the most likely amount method. Estimates are available from our distributor which are considered in the determination of the most likely amount.
Revenue from usage fees is recognized by the Company based on actual usage by the customer.
The Company provides a limited warranty with every set of reactors sold, typically 2 to 5 years. The Company has not experienced significant claims under its warranty policy, and management determined no accrual for warranty reserve was necessary at March 31, 2022 or June 30, 2021.
Equity Method Investment
The Company accounts for investments in entities in which the Company has significant influence over the entity’s financial and operating policies, but does not control, using the equity method of accounting. The equity method investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently increased for capital contributions and allocations of net income, and decreased for capital distributions and allocations of net loss. Equity in net income (loss) from the equity method investment is allocated based on the Company’s economic interest. The Company assesses its investment in equity method investments for recoverability, and if it is determined that a loss in value of the investment is other than temporary, the Company writes down the investment to its fair value. The Company does not believe that the value of its equity method investment was impaired as of March 31, 2022.
The Company’s computation of loss per share (EPS) includes basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the Company’s net 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 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 March 31, 2022, the Company had stock options and 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.

Concentrations
Cash - cash is deposited in one financial institution. The balances held at this financial institution at times may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits of up to $250,000.
Accounts Receivable – accounts receivable at March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, were due from Desmet (see Note 2).
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses – one vendor accounted 88%, and 89% of accounts payable and accrued expenses as of March 31, 2022, respectively. Two vendors accounted 64% and 14% of accounts payable and accrued expenses as of June 30, 2021.
Revenues – revenues during the nine months period ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, were 95% and 94% of revenues, respectively, were from Desmet
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:
| · | Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access. |
| · | Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
| · | Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
On March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.
Segments
The Company operates in one segment, its nano reactor technology business. In accordance with the “Segment Reporting” Topic of the ASC, the Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer and President, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting” due to their similar customer base and similarities in: economic characteristics; nature of products and services; and procurement, manufacturing and distribution processes. Since the Company operates in one segment, all financial information required by “Segment Reporting” can be found in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASC 326”). ASU 2016-13 requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on current expected credit losses ("CECL”) to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the potential impact of the new guidance and related codification improvements will be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 will simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models will result in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify fora scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. ASU 2020-06 also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. ASU 2020-06 will be effective July 1, 2024, for the Company. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than July 1, 2021. Effective July 1, 2021, the Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 and that adoption did not have an impact our financial statements and related disclosures.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. ASU 2021-04 provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. An issuer measures the effect of a modification or exchange as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged warrant and the fair value of that warrant immediately before modification or exchange. ASU 2021-04 introduces a recognition model that comprises four categories of transactions and the corresponding accounting treatment for each category (equity issuance, debt origination, debt modification, and modifications unrelated to equity issuance and debt origination or modification). ASU 2021-04 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the guidance provided in ASU 2021-04 prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity elects to early adopt ASU 2021-04 in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or 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.

Note 2 - Contracts with Desmet Ballestra
The Company has the following agreements with Desmet Ballestra (Desmet), a company located in Europe:
| A. | October 2021 Agreement – In October 2021, the Company executed a three-year agreement with Desmet that is a continuation of the October 2018 agreement (See B below). In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of reactors at the time of shipment of the Nano reactor hardware as shipment is deemed to be the Company’s only performance obligation and the Company had no more continuing obligation other than the reactor’s two-year standard warranty. Desmet pays for such reactors on credit terms and the amount of a sale is recorded as a receivable upon acceptance by Desmet. In addition, Desmet agreed to provide the Company monthly advances of $40,000 through October 1, 2024 to be applied against future sales of reactors. |
| B. |
October 2018 Agreement (expired in October 2021, see “A” above) - In October 2018, the Company signed a three-year global Research and Development (R&D), Marketing and Technology License Agreement with Desmet for the sale and licensing of the Company’s reactors. This agreement was a continuation of an original agreement the Company signed with Desmet in fiscal 2012 and amended in fiscal 2016.
As part of the October 2018 agreement, Desmet provided the Company monthly advances of $50,000 through October 1, 2021, to be applied against the Company’s gross profit share from future sales. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company determined that the gross profit to be earned from Desmet was a variable consideration and evaluated the amount of the potential payments and the likelihood that the payments would be received using the most likely amount approach (subject to the variable consideration constraint). Estimates were available from our distributor which were 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 variable revenue constraints, and as such, the amount of gross profit share revenue recognized was limited to the actual amount of cash received under the contract which the Company had determined was not refundable and probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur. Further, the Company had not been able to develop an expectation of the actual collection based on its historical experience. The Company also had no control with regards to the sale and installation of Nano Reactor® and CTi Nano Neutralization® System, between Desmet and the end customer. Under the October 2021 agreement (See “A” above), the Company is no longer entitled to revenue from a share of gross profit to be earned from distributors. |
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company did not record any revenue from Desmet for sales of reactors or for the Company’s gross profit share of sales. During the nine months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded total revenue from Desmet of $660,000, made up of $592,000 from reactor sales and $ from the Company’s share of gross profit.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded total revenue from Desmet of $137,000, made up of $69,000 from reactor sales and $ from the Company’s share of gross profit. During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded total revenue from Desmet of $626,000, made up of $346,000 from reactor sales and $ from the Company’s share of gross profit.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company has recorded customer advances of $959,000 to account for cash received from Desmet under the October 2018 agreement, to be applied to the Company’s share of future gross profits. As the October 2018 agreement with Desmet expired in October 2021, the Company is in discussions with Desmet with regards to the treatment of these outstanding advances. Also as of March 31, 2022, the Company has recorded customer advances of $80,000 under the October 2021 agreement, to account for cash received from Desmet to be applied to the Company’s share of future sales.

Note 3 - Investment in equity method investment
In 2019, the Company and Delaware Water Company, LLC (Delaware) formed a limited liability company called Enviro WaterTek LLC (“Enviro”). Enviro is owned 50% by the Company and 50% by Delaware, and the Company accounts for its investment in Enviro under the equity method. From 2019 to 2021, Enviro had no operations.
In September 2021, the Company and Delaware entered into a separate agreement under Enviro for a specific project (referred to as “Ameredev”). Delaware has certain contracts in place to provide recycled water to operators of certain active oil and gas wells. Under the agreement, the Company contributed $1.2 million that was used by Ameredev to increase the capacity of certain pipelines and water treatment facilities operated by Delaware. Pursuant to the agreement, for each barrel of recycled water that Ameredev sells, Delaware will receive $0.10 per barrel, and the Company will receive $0.05 per barrel (referred to as usage fees), with the balance of net income (loss) from Ameredev being allocated 70% to Delaware and 30% to the Company. The Ameredev agreement will terminate the earlier of three years (unless extended by unanimous agreement of the Board and Members of Ameredev) from the date of the agreement or by unanimous agreement of the Board and Members of Ameredev.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded total revenues from Ameredev of $38,000, made up of $32,000 from the sale of reactors, and $6,000 from usage fees. During the nine months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded total revenues from Ameredev of $42,000, made up of $32,000 from the sale of reactors, and $10,000 from usage fees.
Also during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized $37,000 of its share of earnings of the equity method investment.
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded revenues of $11,000 from the usage fee. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, there was no share of earnings or losses of the equity method investment.

Note 4 – Operating Lease
The Company leases certain warehouse and corporate office space under operating lease agreement. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Lease assets are presented as operating lease right-of-use assets and the related liabilities are presented as lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally, the implicit rate of interest in lease arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of what its credit rating would be. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.
The components of lease expense and supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the period are as follows:
Nine Months Ended March 31, 2022 | ||||

Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies
Royalty Agreements
On July 1, 2008, the Company 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, 2018.
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 March 31, 2022 no patents have been granted in which this person is the legally named inventor.

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.
We are engaged in manufacturing our Nano-Reactors, which are designed to help refine vegetable oils, biodiesel transesterification and treatment of produced and frack water. Our near-term goal is to continue to sell our systems through our partners, Desmet Ballestra and EW.
During the past several years we have developed a number of new applications utilizing the core principal of our technology. Our low pressure non-reactors (LPN) can be utilized in multiple industries that process large volumes of fluids and we anticipate accelerated commercial sales in our fiscal 2020. Further, we have miniaturized our non-reactors to be utilized in various consumer oriented products, such as, processing and enhancing spirits and wines, drinking water with infusion of vitamins, minerals and cannabidiol (CBD) oil.
We have agreements to license our technology globally through our strategic partners, Desmet Ballestra Group (Desmet) and Enviro Watertek, LLC (EW) and Alchemy Beverages, Inc (ABI). Desmet have been providing monthly advances of $50,000. We may need additional funding, and may attempt to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to fund operations and additional working capital. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such financing or obtained sufficient amounts necessary to meet our business needs, or that we will be able to meet our future contractual obligations.
In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, has adversely affected workforces, customers, economies, and financial markets globally. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for our product and harm our business and results of operations. It is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on our business or results of operations at this time.

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. Additionally, the Company generates revenues from its equity method investment.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 we recorded $38,000 in revenue compared to $148,000 for months ended March 31, 2021. Revenues decreased since the Company did not receive any orders from Desmet, offset by sale of reactors to the equity method investment.
Cost of Revenue
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, our cost of sales amounted to $16,000 and $3,000 respectively during the same period in prior year, which was the result of the revenue transactions described above.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 amounted to $284,000 compared with $285,000 for the same period in 2021, a decrease of $1,000 or 1%. Decrease in general and administrative expense due to decrease in professional expenses.
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.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 the Company recognized other income (expense) of $(336,000), primarily made up of loss on settlement of liabilities of 371,000.

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 amounted to $1,122,000 compared with $878,000 for the same period in 2021, an increase of $244,000 or 28%. The increase were due to increase in payroll expenses, increase in stock compensation expenses, offset by decrease in professional expenses.
Research and development (R&D) expenses remained relatively low as we continued to rely on Desmet 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.
Other Income
During the nine months ended March 31, 2022 the Company recognized other income (expense) of $(235,000), primarily made up of loss on settlement of liabilities of 371,000 offset by gain on forgiveness of PPP note payable of $104,000 and income from equity investment of $37,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resource
During the nine months ended March 31, 2022 the Company incurred a net loss of $713,000 and had a negative cash flow from operations of $146,000, had a working capital deficiency of $612,000 and a stockholders' deficit of $742,000. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s June 30, 2021 financial statements, has expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
As of March 31, 2022 we had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $779,000 and are not generating sufficient revenues to fund operations. In addition, 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), Enviro Watertek (EW) and Alchemy Beverages, Inc. (ABI). Desmet has been providing us monthly advances of $40,000 and our renewed contract is through October 1, 2024 to be applied against from future reactor sales.
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.
Cash Flow
Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2022 amounted to $146,000 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $50,000 for the same period in fiscal 2021.
Funding for the operating activities was provided primarily by sales of our systems to Desmet and advances from distributor.
Critical Accounting Policies
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 for allowance for doubtful accounts, reserve for inventory obsolescence, impairment analysis for property and equipment, accrual of potential liabilities, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and assumption in valuing our stock options, warrants, and common stock issued for services, among other items. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition
The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC 606.
Revenue from the sale of the Company’s Nano Reactors is recognized when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities as this is our sole performance obligation under these contracts and we have no continuing obligation to the customer.
Revenue from the Company’s share of gross profit to be earned from distributors, as defined, which the Company treats as variable consideration, is recognized using the most likely amount method. Estimates are available from our distributor which are considered in the determination of the most likely amount.
Revenue from usage fees is recognized by the Company based on actual usage by the customer.

In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) and (c), management must also evaluate the effectiveness of these disclosure control and procedures at the end of each fiscal year.
