Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2023 and 2022
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN
Unless otherwise indicated, any reference to “the Company”, “our company”, “we”, “us”, or “its” refers to IIOT-OXYS, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and as applicable to its wholly-owned subsidiaries, OXYS Corporation, a Nevada corporation, and HereLab, Inc., a Delaware corporation.
IIOT-OXYS, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) was established for the purpose of designing, building, testing, and selling Edge Computing Systems for the Industrial Internet. The Company is currently devoting substantially all its efforts in identifying, developing and marketing engineered products, software and services for applications in the Industrial Internet which involves collecting and processing data collected from a wide variety of industrial systems and machines.
The Company was incorporated in the state of New Jersey on October 1, 2003 under the name of Creative Beauty Supply Corporation and commenced operations as of January 1, 2004. On November 30, 2007, the Board of Directors approved a plan to dispose of its wholesale and retail beauty supply business. On May 18, 2015, the Company changed its name to Gotham Capital Holdings. From January 1, 2009 until July 28, 2017, the Company had no operations. On March 16, 2017, the Board of Directors approved a name change to “IIOT-OXYS, Inc.” and authorized a change of domicile from New Jersey to Nevada.
Impact of COVID-19
The global COVID-19 pandemic continues to present uncertainty and unforeseeable risks to the Company’s operations and business plan. The Company has closely monitored recent developments, including the lifting of COVID-19 safety measures, the spread of new strains or variants of the coronavirus (such as the Delta and Omicron variants), and supply chain and labor shortages. Thus, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the business and operations remains uncertain and will vary depending on the pandemic’s future impact on the third parties with whom the Company does business, as well as any legal or regulatory consequences resulting therefrom. The Company has been following the recommendations of health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its team members and may take further actions that alter our operations, including any required by federal, state or local authorities, or that it determines are in the best interests of its employees and other third parties with whom the Company does business.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company. The financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation.
7 |
Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has suffered continuing operating losses, has a working capital deficit of $1,741,781, used cash flows in operating activities of $61,289, and has an accumulated deficit of $9,485,307 as of March 31, 2023. These factors, among others, raise a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that the Company will be able to achieve a satisfactory level of liquidity to meet the Company’s obligations for the next twelve months by generating cash through additional borrowings and/or sale of equity securities, as needed. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient liquidity to maintain its operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in the understanding of the Company’s financial statements. These accounting policies conform to GAAP in all material respects and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information, and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) with respect to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements for March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, include the accounts of Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries OXYS Corporation and HereLab, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior periods presented have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income.
8 |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the valuation of accounts payable, accrued liabilities and payable to related parties. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company reported a cash balance of $25,158 and $33,336 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Trade accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying potential troubled accounts and by using historical experience and future expectations applied to an aging of accounts. Trade accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. The Company recorded accounts receivable of $9,893 and $28,941 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and no allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed necessary as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company regularly reviews the carrying value and estimated lives of its long-lived assets to determine whether indicators of impairment may exist that warrant adjustments to the carrying value or estimated useful lives. The determinants used for this evaluation include management’s estimate of the asset’s ability to generate positive income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods as well as the strategic significance of the assets to the Company’s business objectives.
Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated periods benefited and are reviewed when appropriate for possible impairment.
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible note and preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
9 |
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue is derived primarily from providing services under contractual agreements. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) which was adopted on January 1, 2018.
According to ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue based on the following criteria:
· | Identification of a contract or contracts, with a customer. | |
· | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract. | |
· | Determination of contract price. | |
· | Allocation of transaction price to the performance obligation. | |
· | Recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligation is satisfied. |
The Company used a practical expedient available under ASC 606-10-65-1(f)4 that permits it to consider the aggregate effect of all contract modifications that occurred before the beginning of the earliest period presented when identifying satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations.
The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling activities as cost of sales. Additionally, the Company has elected to record revenue net of sales and other similar taxes.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents which are generally not collateralized. The Company’s policy is to place its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions, in order to limit the amount of credit exposure. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), up to $250,000. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no amounts in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
10 |
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s consolidated financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable and related parties payable. The Company believes that the recorded values of all the financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provide that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions.” When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.
Convertible Debt and Convertible Preferred Stock
When the Company issues convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, it first evaluates the balance sheet classification of the convertible instrument in its entirety to determine whether the instrument should be classified as a liability under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and second whether the conversion feature should be accounted for separately from the host instrument. A conversion feature of a convertible debt instrument or certain convertible preferred stock would be separated from the convertible instrument and classified as a derivative liability if the conversion feature, were it a standalone instrument, meets the definition of an “embedded derivative” in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Generally, characteristics that require derivative treatment include, among others, when the conversion feature is not indexed to the Company’s equity, as defined in ASC 815-40, or when it must be settled either in cash or by issuing stock that is readily convertible to cash. When a conversion feature meets the definition of an embedded derivative, it would be separated from the host instrument and classified as a derivative liability carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, with any changes in its fair value recognized currently in the consolidated statements of operations.
Effective January 1, 2022, we early adopted ASU 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” using the modified retrospective method of adoption. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470- 20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options, for convertible instruments. Under ASU 2020-06, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. By removing those separation models, the interest rate of convertible debt instruments typically will be closer to the coupon interest rate when applying the guidance in Topic 835, Interest. We now account for our Convertible Notes as single liabilities measured at amortized cost. As a result, the adoption of the guidance had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, resulting in adjustments of $371,125, $313,976 and $57,149 to the opening balance of additional paid-in capital, retained earnings, and long-term debt, respectively, as of January 1, 2022. We have updated our debt note (Note 5) with additional and modified disclosures as required by the standard upon adoption.

On November 19, 2020, pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 16, 2020 (the “SPA”), the Company entered into a new preferred equity financing agreement with GHS Investments, LLC (“GHS”) in the amount of up to $600,000. The SPA provides for GHS’s purchase, from time to time, of up to 600 shares of the newly-designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The initial closing under the SPA consisted of 45 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, stated value $1,200 per share, issued to GHS for an initial purchase price of $45,000, or $1,000 per share. At the Company’s option, and subject to the terms of the SPA and the Certificate of Designation for the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “COD”), additional closings in the amount of 40 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for a total purchase price of $40,000 may take place at a rate of up to once every 30 days. In connection with the initial closing in the amount of 45 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company issued an additional 25 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to GHS as a commitment fee.
No additional closings may take place after the two-year anniversary of the SPA, or once the entire $600,000 amount has been funded. If the average daily dollar trading volume for the Company’s common stock for the 30 trading days preceding a particular additional closing is at least $50,000 per day, the Company may, at its option, increase the amount of that additional closing to 75 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ($75,000).
The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is classified as temporary equity, as it is convertible upon issuance at an amount equal to the lowest traded price for the Company’s common stock for the fifteen trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion.

These financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingencies. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experiences and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances.

Trends and Uncertainties
On July 28, 2017, we closed the reverse acquisition transaction under the Securities Exchange Agreement dated March 16, 2017, as reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on August 3, 2017. Following the closing, our business has been that of OXYS, Inc. and HereLab, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiaries. Our operations have varied significantly following the closing since, prior to that time, we were an inactive shell company.
Impact of COVID-19
The global COVID-19 pandemic continues to present uncertainty and unforeseeable risks to the Company’s operations and business plan. The Company has closely monitored recent developments, including the lifting of COVID-19 safety measures, the spread of new strains or variants of the coronavirus (such as the Delta and Omicron variants), and supply chain and labor shortages. Thus, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the business and operations remains uncertain and will vary depending on the pandemic’s future impact on the third parties with whom the Company does business, as well as any legal or regulatory consequences resulting therefrom. The Company has been following the recommendations of health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its team members and may take further actions that alter our operations, including any required by federal, state or local authorities, or that it determines are in the best interests of its employees and other third parties with whom the Company does business.

Historical Background
We were incorporated in the State of New Jersey on October 1, 2003 under the name of Creative Beauty Supply of New Jersey Corporation and subsequently changed our name to Gotham Capital Holdings, Inc. on May 18, 2015. We commenced operations in the beauty supply industry as of January 1, 2004. On November 30, 2007, our Board of Directors approved a plan to dispose of our wholesale and retail beauty supply business. From January 1, 2009 until July 28, 2017, we had no operations and were a shell company.
On March 16, 2017, our Board of Directors adopted resolutions, which were approved by shareholders holding a majority of our outstanding shares, to change our name to “IIOT-OXYS, Inc.”, to authorize a change of domicile from New Jersey to Nevada, to authorize a 2017 Stock Awards Plan, and to approve the Securities Exchange Agreement (the “OXYS SEA”) between the Company and OXYS Corporation (“OXYS”), a Nevada corporation incorporated on August 4, 2016.
Under the terms of the OXYS SEA we acquired 100% of the issued voting shares of OXYS in exchange for 34,687,244 shares of our Common Stock. We also cancelled 1,500,000 outstanding shares of our Common Stock and changed our management to Mr. DiBiase who also served in management of OXYS. Also, one of our principal shareholders entered into a consulting agreement with OXYS to provide consulting services during the transition. The OXYS SEA was effective on July 28, 2017, and our name was changed to “IIOT-OXYS, Inc.” at that time. Effective October 26, 2017, our domicile was changed from New Jersey to Nevada.
At the present time, we have two, wholly-owned subsidiaries which are OXYS Corporation and HereLab, Inc. (an entity immaterial to our operations), through which our operations are conducted.
General Overview
IIOT-OXYS, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and OXYS, were originally established for the purposes of designing, building, testing, and selling Edge Computing systems for the Industrial Internet. Both companies were, and presently are, early-stage technology startups that are largely pre-revenue in their development phase. HereLab (an entity immaterial to our operations) is also an early-stage technology development company. We received our first revenues in the last quarter of 2017, continued to realize revenues until 2020 when the pandemic hit, and we realized nominal revenues through 2021 to the present.
We develop hardware, software and algorithms that monitor, measure and predict conditions for energy, structural, agricultural and medical applications. We use domain-specific Artificial Intelligence to solve industrial and environmental challenges.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we earned revenues of $43,283 and incurred related cost of sales of $16,964. Our operating expenses were $178,405 which included professional fees of $62,662, payroll costs of $86,107, amortization of intangible assets of $12,205, and general and administrative expenses of $17,431. We recorded net other expenses of $9,964 consisting of interest expense of $14,528 and a loss due to change in fair market value of derivative liability of $1,292, offset by interest income on note receivable of $5,856. We also recorded $16,120 as preferred stock dividend on convertible preferred stock for the three months ended March 31, 2023. As a result, we incurred a net loss of $178,170 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Comparatively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, we earned no revenues and no related cost of sales. Our Operating expenses were $179,214 which included professional fees of $39,555, payroll costs of $110,658, amortization of intangible assets of $12,205, and general and administrative expenses of $16,796. We recorded net other expenses of $333,516, consisting of interest expense of $247,372 on notes payable due to amortization of debt discount and interest payable on notes payable, loss on derivates of $201,943, offset by gain on change in the fair market value of derivative liability of $115,799. We also recorded $12,430 as preferred stock dividend on convertible preferred stock for the three months ended March 31, 2022. As a result, we incurred a net loss of $525,160 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
During the current and prior period, we did not record an income tax benefit due to the uncertainty associated with the Company’s ability to utilize the deferred tax assets.
Our first quarter revenue in 2023 was a significant improvement over the same period in 2022, when no revenue was recorded. We also sustained the revenue momentum achieved throughout 2022, and we expect this momentum will continue through 2023. Our strong first quarter revenue and our confidence this momentum will continue through 2023, and beyond, are based on the following factors:
- | Our current DOT Bridge Monitoring Contract and overall Structural Health Monitoring (“SHM”) vertical is the foundation of our revenue momentum. The current monitoring continues through June of 2023, with previously approved expansion to continue beyond June. We believe that discussions with our main contractor to the DOT for extensions and expansions have been favorable. We also believe that prospects with both local municipalities in our current DOT state, and DOT contacts in two other northeast states bode well for future business in the second half of 2023 and into 2024. |
- | Our Smart Manufacturing vertical is benefiting from the progress on our CNC Proof of Concept (“POC”), that successfully kicked off back in January 2023, and will conclude this month. It’s already yielding results that we believe are impressing our customer. We expect a SaaS contract to follow and believe this will lead to other paid CNC POCs and additional SaaS contracts, which would contribute to revenue in the second half of 2023. Another key goal is to secure additional POCs for other discrete manufacturing processes, including metal stamping, plastic injection molding, plastic extrusion, and automated assembly and test. |
- | Our Indoor Air Quality (“IAQ”) vertical through our strategic partner, Aretas Sensor Networks (“Aretas”), is progressing well – primarily through our direct retail sales efforts, which are beginning to show results. We’ve also begun focusing on larger site opportunities, both through current advertising channels, and some targeted outreach, especially in the northeast. |
- | Our Strategic Partnership development continues to be a “force multiplier” for us. The strength of our Aingura IIoT, S.L. partnership provides supplemental expertise, equipment and software, which ensures we continue to bring value to our customers. We will also continue to develop our other previously announced partnerships, including Aretas. |
29 |
We believe that our business development in these industries has high potential for success, due to the strength of their size and growth. The global smart manufacturing (also known as Industry 4.0) was $97.6 billion in 2022 and will reach $228.3 billion by 2027 (CAGR 18.5%);1 the worldwide SHM industry was $2.0 billion in 2021 and will reach $4.0 billion by 2027 (CAGR of 14.6%);2 and the Indoor Air Quality Monitor (IAQ) market, which was estimated at $3.7 billion in 2020 and projected to reach $6.4 billion in 2027, growing at 8.2% CAGR.3
It is anticipated that revenue momentum will continue through the second quarter of 2023, which is on track to exceed that for the same period in 2022, and that overall total revenue for 2023 will exceed that of 2022. Given the valuable real-world data we’ve collected, our Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) Machine Learning algorithms we’ve developed, compelling use cases and marketing collateral developed from our data and algorithms, combined with our experienced leadership, savvy technological talent, and operational execution excellence, we believe these goals are achievable.
Liquidity and Capital Resources for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
At March 31, 2023, we had a cash balance of $25,158, which represents a $8,178 decrease from the $33,336 cash balance at December 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily as a result of net cash used in operating activities of $61,289, and net cash provided by financing activities of $53,111.
Operating activities
Net cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $61,289, primarily attributed to the net loss of $178,170, stock compensation expense of $825, discount received on note receivable of $925, and amortization of intangible assets of $12,206. The Company recorded changes in operating assets and liabilities of $104,775 primarily attributable to decrease in accounts receivable of $19,048, increase in accounts payable of $38,984, increase in accrued liabilities of $46,648, increase in derivative liabilities of $1,292, increase in shares payable to related parties of $1,735 offset by decrease in unearned interest of $2,932.
Net cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $157,058, primarily attributable to net loss of $525,160, stock compensation expense of $900, amortization of debt discount on notes payable and preferred stock of $37,400, and amortization of intangible assets of $12,205.

Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $53,111 primarily due to sale of our common stock of $54,195 and paying $1,084 in costs for raising capital. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $299,549 primarily due to cash received from sale of common stock of $113,826 and paying $2,277 in costs for raising capital, and cash received from sale of series B preferred stock of $188,000.
As a result of the above activities, the Company recorded a decrease of $8,178 in cash for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and an increase of $142,491 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, respectively.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has suffered continuing operating losses, has a working capital deficit of $1,741,781, used cash flows in operating activities of $61,289, and has an accumulated deficit of $9,485,307 as of March 31, 2023. These factors, among others, raise a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
