NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-UNAUDITED

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

1.	Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of OriginClear, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Company has implemented a new outsourced water treatment business called Water On Demand (“WOD”), which it will conduct through its wholly owned subsidiary, Water on Demand, Inc. (“WODI”). The WOD model intends to offer private businesses water self-sustainability as a service, the ability to pay for water treatment and purification services on a per-gallon basis. This is commonly known as Design-Build-Own-Operate or “DBOO”. In addition to WODI, four subsidiaries have been established to house capital dedicated to this program. For efficiency, the Company is reorganizing these subsidiaries into a single WOD Subsidiary. As of the period ended September 30, 2022, the Company received aggregate funding in the amount of $2,604,639 through the sale of its Series Y Preferred Stock dedicated to the Water on Demand program. The Company is currently evaluating the first pilot opportunity to enable a commercial customer to outsource water treatment as a managed service and pay by the gallon for the treatment of its dirty water as an alternative to having to come up with significant up-front capital. The Company has announced that it plans to spin off the WOD business into its newly formed wholly owned subsidiary, Water On Demand, Inc.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. These factors, among others raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, achieving a level of profitable operations and receiving additional cash infusions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company obtained funds from the sales of its preferred stock. Management believes this funding will continue from its’ current investors and from new investors. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company generated revenue of $7,768,133 and has standing purchase orders and open invoices with customers, which will provide funds for operations. Management believes the existing shareholders, the prospective new investors and future sales will provide the additional cash needed to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due and will allow the development of its core business operations. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case of equity financing.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OriginClear, Inc. and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Progressive Water Treatment, Inc., Water On Demand, Inc. and OriginClear Technologies, Ltd. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities.

Cash and Cash Equivalent

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used to review the Company’s impairments and estimations of long-lived assets, revenue recognition on percentage of completion type contracts, allowances for uncollectible accounts, warranty reserves, inventory valuation, derivative liabilities and other conversion features, fair value investments, valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Net Earnings (Loss) per Share Calculations

Basic loss per share calculation is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include securities or other contracts to issue common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company’s diluted earnings per share were not the same as the basic loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, as the inclusion of any potential shares in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, would have an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss.

	For the Nine Months Ended
	2022			2021
Income (Loss) to common shareholders (Numerator)	$	(33,894,246	)	$	(12,401,812	)

Basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding (Denominator)		589,675,480			147,762,596

Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding (Denominator)		589,675,480			147,762,596

The Company excludes issuable shares from warrants, convertible notes and preferred stock, if their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive and includes the issuable shares if their impact is dilutive.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when services are performed, and at the time of shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.

Revisions in cost and profit estimates during the course of the contract are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts for the revisions become known. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income, which are recognized in the period the revisions are determined.

Contract receivables are recorded on contracts for amounts currently due based upon progress billings, as well as retention, which are collectible upon completion of the contracts. Accounts payable to material suppliers and subcontractors are recorded for amounts currently due based upon work completed or materials received, as are retention due subcontractors, which are payable upon completion of the contract. General and administrative expenses are charged to operations as incurred and are not allocated to contract costs.

Contract Receivable

The Company bills its customers in accordance with contractual agreements. The agreements generally require billing to be on a progressive basis as work is completed. Credit is extended based on evaluation of clients’ financial condition and collateral is not required. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may arise if any customer is unable to make required payments. Management performs a quantitative and qualitative review of the receivables past due from customers on a monthly basis. The Company records an allowance against uncollectible items for each customer after all reasonable means of collection have been exhausted, and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $0 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The net contract receivable balance was $1,946,882 and $2,150,967 at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Prepaid Expenses

The Company records expenditures that have been paid in advance as prepaid expenses. The prepaid expenses are initially recorded as assets, because they have future economic benefits, and are expensed at the time the benefits are realized. The prepaid expenses balance was $10,866 and $13,111 at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Indefinite Lived Intangibles and Goodwill Assets

The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

The Company tests for indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with its policies, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill at September 30, 2022 and determined there was no impairment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Gain or loss is recognized upon disposal of property and equipment, and the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while expenditures for addition and betterment are capitalized. Furniture and equipment are depreciated on the straight-line method and include the following categories:

Estimated Life
Machinery and equipment			5-10 years
Furniture, fixtures and computer equipment			5-7 years
Vehicles			3-5 years
Leasehold improvements			2-5 years

	Nine Months Ended 9/30/2022			Year Ended 12/31/21
Machinery and Equipment	$	383,570		$	383,570
Computer Equipment		66,491			62,854
Furniture		29,810			29,810
Leasehold Improvements		26,725			26,725
Vehicles		64,277			64,277
Demo Units		36,139			36,139
		607,012			603,375
Less accumulated depreciation		(421,428	)		(389,984	)
Net Property and Equipment	$	185,584		$	213,391

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that the facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of any long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed following generally accepted accounting principles.

Depreciation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, was $31,446 and $34,034, respectively.

Inventory

The Company expenses inventory on a first in, first out basis, and had raw materials of $18,420 and $2,850 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Stock-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 vest immediately and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

Accounting for Derivatives

The Company evaluates all its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average series Binomial lattice option pricing models to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not the net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not to recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of September 30, 2022, the balances reported for cash, contract receivables, cost in excess of billing, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, billing in excess of cost, and accrued expenses approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.

We adopted ASC Topic 820 for financial instruments measured as fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

	●	Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

	●	Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

	●	Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

The following table presents certain investments and liabilities of the Company’s financial assets measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s balance sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2022.

	Total		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Investment at fair value-securities	$	45,209	$	45,209	$	-	$	-
Total Assets measured at fair value	$	45,209	$	45,209	$	-	$	-

		Total		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Derivative Liability, convertible notes	$	34,083,579	$	-	$	-	$	34,083,579
Derivative Liability, warrants	$	1,619,251	$	-	$	-	$	1,619,251
Total liabilities measured at fair value	$	35,702,830	$	-	$	-	$	35,702,830

The following is a reconciliation of the derivative liability for which level 3 inputs were used in determining the approximate fair value:

Balance as of January 1, 2022	$	6,526,129
Fair value at issuance		-
Loss on conversion of debt and change in derivative liability		27,557,450
Balance as of September 30, 2022	$	34,083,579

For purpose of determining the fair market value of the derivative liability, the Company used Binomial lattice formula valuation model. The significant assumptions used in the Binomial lattice formula valuation of the derivative are as follows:

			September 30, 2022
Risk free interest rate			2.79% - 4.22 %
Stock volatility factor			20.0% - 185.0 %
Weighted average expected option life			6 months - 5 years
Expected dividend yield			None

Segment Reporting

The Company’s business currently operates in one segment based upon the Company’s organizational structure and the way in which the operations are managed and evaluated.

Marketable Securities

The Company adopted ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 requires investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. It requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purpose, and separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset. It eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The Company has evaluated the potential impact this standard may have on the condensed consolidated financial statements and determined that it had a significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company accounts for its investment in Water Technologies International, Inc. as available-for-sale securities, and the unrealized gain on the available-for-sale securities is recognized in net income.

Licensing agreement

The Company analyzed the licensing agreement using ASU 606 to determine the timing of revenue recognition. The licensing of the intellectual property (IP) is distinct from the non-license goods or services and has significant standalone functionality that provides a benefit or value. The functionality will not change during the license period due to the licensor’s activities. Because the significant standalone functionality is delivered immediately, the revenue is generally recognized when the license is delivered.

Work-in-Process

The Company recognizes as an asset the accumulated costs for work-in-process on projects expected to be delivered to customers. Work in Process includes the cost price of materials and labor related to the construction of equipment to be sold to customers.

Reclassification of Expenses and Income

Certain amounts in the 2021 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the 2022 financial statements. There was no material effect on the Company’s previously issued financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Management reviewed currently issued pronouncements and does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed financial statements.

3.	CAPITAL STOCK

All shares issuable under the RSGAs are performance based shares. The RSGAs provides for the issuance of up to an aggregate of 242,109,214 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Eckelberry provided certain milestones are met in certain stages; a) If the Company’s consolidated gross revenue, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, equals or exceeds $15,000,000 for the trailing twelve month period as reported in the Company’s quarterly or annual financial statements, the Company will issue up to an aggregate of 121,054,607 shares of its common stock; b) If the Company’s consolidated operating profit (Operating Profit = Operating Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold - Operating Expenses - Depreciation & Amortization), calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, equals or exceeds $1,500,000 for the trailing twelve month period as reported in the Company’s SEC Reports, the Company will issue up to an aggregate of 121,054,607 shares of its common stock. The Company has not recognized any costs associated with the milestones, because achievement is not probable. As the performance goals are achieved, the shares shall become eligible for vesting and issuance.

Restricted Stock to the Board, Employees and Consultants

Between May 12, 2016, and August 4, 2022, the Company entered into Restricted Stock Grant Agreements (“the BEC RSGAs”) with its members of the Board, employees, and consultants to create management incentives to improve the economic performance of the Company and to increase its value and stock price. All shares issuable under the BEC RSGAs are performance based shares. The BEC RSGAs provide for the issuance of up to 296,678,542 shares of the Company’s common stock to employees and consultants provided certain milestones are met in certain stages; a) If the Company’s consolidated gross revenue, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, equals or exceeds $15,000,000 for the trailing twelve month period as reported in the Company’s quarterly or annual financial statements, the Company will issue up to an aggregate of 148,339,271 shares of its common stock; b) If the Company’s consolidated operating profit Operating Profit = Operating Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold - Operating Expenses - Depreciation & Amortization), calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, equals or exceeds $1,500,000 for the trailing twelve month period as reported as reported in the Company’s SEC reports, the Company will issue up to an aggregate of 148,339,271 shares of its common stock. The Company has not recognized any costs associated with the milestones, because achievement is not probable. As the performance goals are achieved, the shares shall become eligible for vesting and issuance.

On August 14, 2019, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the RSGAs and BEC RSGAs to include an alternative vesting schedule for the Grantees and on January 26, 2022, the Company amended the procedures for processing the RSGAs and BEC RSGAs. Once a Grantee is eligible to participate in alternate vesting, then they will be added to the list of alternate vestees, enlarging the pool of vestees among which, 10% of stock sales that are allowed under the agreement is divided for the next year. The Company then (i) calculates the value of the Company common stock traded in the year immediately prior to the vesting year, using daily adjusted close and volume, as quoted on the public securities trading market on which the Company’s common stock is then traded (ii) determines the cost basis of the shares, which shall be the closing price quoted on the public securities trading market, quoted on the first trading day of the vesting year which will be the grantee’s cost basis, and (iii) applies the 10% calculation and divides it into the number of qualifying alternate vestees, giving the gross number of shares available to each Grantee. For each alternate vestee for each year in which there occurs a vesting or a potential vesting, the Company (i) does a 90-day lookback from the first day of the latest vesting month, to limit cumulative vesting of shares for each alternate vestee for the 90-day period to 1% of total Company shares of common stock outstanding for the period, using the then current figure for shares outstanding at the time of the lookback; (ii) places the excess shares (the “Overlimit Shares”) in suspense for issuance in the next 90-day period so that in each future 90-day period they may be issued, and (iii) if on the 90-day lookback, cumulative issuances are less than 1% of shares outstanding, the Company will add the shares from previous 90-day lookback, if any. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will not record any Overlimit Shares as vested until such as time as they have been finally issued. If the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the shares are vested is less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the effective date of the RSGA or BEC RSGA, then the number of vested shares issuable (assuming all conditions are satisfied) shall be increased so that the aggregate fair market value of vested shares issuable on the vesting date equals the aggregate fair market value that such number of shares would have had on the effective date. Upon the occurrence of a Company performance goal, the right to participate in the alternate vesting schedule will terminate, and the vesting of the remaining unvested shares will be as set forth under the restricted stock award agreement.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, upon qualifying under the alternative vesting schedule, the Company issued an aggregate of 632,327 shares relating to the RSGAs and an aggregate of 390,865 shares relating to the BEC RSGAs.

Organizational History

OriginClear, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or “OriginClear”) was incorporated on June 1, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada. We have been engaged in business operations since June 2007. In 2015, we moved into the commercialization phase of our business plan having previously been primarily involved in research, development and licensing activities. Our principal offices are located at 13575 58th Street North, Suite 200, Clearwater, FL 33760. Our main telephone number is (727) 440-4603. Our website address is www.OriginClear.com. The information contained on, connected to or that can be accessed via our website is not part of this report.

Overview of Business

OriginClear is a company that today, develops unique water assets for eventual launch as their own companies. This new role was indicated water technology company which has developed in-depth capabilities over the eight years since it began to operate in the water industry.

Pursuant to this new mission, OriginClear’s assets, subsidiaries and product offerings consist of:

●

The Intellectual Property of Daniel M. Early (the “Early IP”), consisting of five patents and related knowhow and trade secrets, which are intended to take the place of the applications for the company’s original technology developments.

●

The brand, Modular Water Systems (MWS), featuring products differentiated by the Early IP and complemented with additional knowhow and trade secrets. MWS is in commercial operation and operates as a division of Progressive Water Treatment, Inc. (“PWT”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company based in McKinney, Texas. The Company is currently developing MWS as a discrete line of business for an eventual spinoff. In addition, the Company intends to separate the EveraMOD Pump Station product line as a standalone business.

●

PWT is responsible for a significant percentage of the company’s revenue, specializing in engineered water treatment solutions and custom treatment systems. We believe that PWT has knowhow with intellectual property potential.

●

OriginClear has incubated a new outsourced water treatment business called Water On Demand (“WOD”).

The WOD model intends to offer private businesses water self-sustainability as a service - the ability to pay for water treatment and purification services on a per-gallon basis. This is commonly known as Design-Build-Own-Operate or “DBOO”.

Four subsidiaries have been established to house capital dedicated to this program (“the WOD Subsidiaries”). For efficiency, the Company is reorganizing these subsidiaries into a single WOD Subsidiary.

On April 13, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the plan to spin off its Water On Demand business into a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, Water On Demand Inc. (“WODI”), which will hold the assets, liabilities, intellectual property and business operations of the Water On Demand business. WODI is designed to select projects, fully qualify them, provide financing for DBOO service contracts, and thereafter manage assets, contracts, clients, investors, strategic partners and vendors.

As they are subject to a security guaranty by the Company, the WOD Subsidiaries, and the capital raised for them through the Company’s Series Y offering, shall continue to be held by the Company. This capital will be made available to WODI to be deployed, subject to a planned management contract.

Developing Water Businesses

The Company develops and incubates businesses in its role as the Clean Water Innovation Hub™ (“CWIB”). The mission of CWIB in general, is to create valuable properties through an incubation process that results in the launching of valuable spinoffs that add value to the world’s water industry.

The first such spinoff was on April 13, 2022, when the Company’s Board of Directors approved the plan to spin off its Water On Demand business into a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, Water On Demand Inc., which will hold the assets, liabilities, intellectual property and business operations of the Water On Demand business.

Further businesses can be expected to be spun off, as the Company announced on April 26, 2022:

“The launch of Water on Demand is the first of several anticipated business property spinoffs. Other Company business properties include Modular Water Systems, which owns a master license to five key international patents for prefabricated, highly-durable modular water treatment and pumping products. Being a proprietary technology, MWS frequently qualifies as “Basis of Design” for projects, which means that competitors cannot easily undercut MWS.”

(https://www.originclear.com/company-news/originclear-to-launch-water-on-demand-fintech-startup)

CWIB’s ongoing operations include:

Building a line of customer-facing water brands to expand global market presence and technical expertise. These include the wholly-owned subsidiary, Progressive Water Treatment, Inc., and the Modular Water Systems brand.

	2.	Managing relationships with partners worldwide who are licensees and business partners.

	3.	Developing the capability of partners to build systems and to deliver Operation & Maintenance (“O&M”) capability at scale, to support Water On Demand outsourced treatment and purification programs.

	4.	Continue to study the streamlining of water assets and royalties through the blockchain, as part of the $H2O™ concept. At this time there is no plan to actively develop a blockchain-based asset.

	5.	Prepare properties for eventual spinoff.

On July 8, 2022, the Company announced that it booked combined purchase orders in excess of $5 million in the first nine months of 2022, more than double the order volume for the comparable period in 2021.

On September 21, 2022, the Company announced its collaboration with PhilanthroInvestors™ to develop off-grid housing solutions. PhilanthroInvestors™ promotes human welfare while earning a financial return.

https://www.originclear.com/company-news/originclear-teams-up-with-real-estate-leader-for-off-grid-housing

On October 18, 2022, the Company announced that its pump station product line is showing commercial success. Known as EveraMOD in the Modular Water Systems (MWS) lineup, this durable, modular system is being adopted by customers, often as a simple yet vital retrofit for existing, obsolete installations.

In addition, the Company indicated that it may spin off EveraMOD as its next independent company as part of CWIB.

https://www.originclear.com/company-news/originclears-pump-station-line-rapidly-expands

On October 25, 2022, the Company announced that it entered an Equity Financing Agreement with GHS Investments (GHS). Pursuant to the Agreement, GHS has agreed to purchase up to $25.0 million in registered common stock, with timing and amounts of the purchases to be determined at the sole discretion of the Company.

On November 7, 2022, the Company announced that it retained The Basile Law Firm, P.C. (www.thebasilelawfirm.com), to explore a potential business combination with a NASDAQ-listed Special Purpose Acquisition Corporation (SPAC). OriginClear cautions that a specific SPAC has not been definitively identified, the prospective terms are unknown, and there is no assurance any transaction may occur.

Milestones

Progressive Water Treatment Inc.

On October 1, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Dallas-based Progressive Water Treatment Inc. (“PWT”), a designer, builder and service provider for a wide range of industrial water treatment applications. PWT, together with MWS, other proprietary technologies and potential future acquisitions, aims to offer a complementary, end-to-end offering to serve growing corporate demand for outsourced water treatment.

PWT’s Business

Since 1995, PWT has been designing and manufacturing a complete line of water treatment systems for municipal, industrial and pure water applications. PWT designs and manufactures a complete line of water treatment systems for municipal, industrial and pure water applications. Its uniqueness is its ability to gain an in-depth understanding of customer’s needs and then to design and build an integrated water treatment system using multiple technologies to provide a complete solution for its customers.

PWT utilizes a wide range of technologies, including chemical injection, media filters, membrane, ion exchange and SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) technology in turnkey systems. PWT also offers a broad range of services including maintenance contracts, retrofits and replacement assistance. In addition, PWT rents equipment in contracts of varying duration. Customers are primarily served in the United States and Canada, with the company’s reach extending worldwide from Siberia to Argentina to the Middle East.

PWT Milestones

In the first quarter of 2019, the Company increased the number of the manufacturer’s representatives for its operating units, PWT and Modular Water Systems (“MWS”).

On Nov 7, 2019, the Company published a case study showing how its Modular Water System may help automotive dealerships expand into rural land. The case study shows how point-of-use treatment solves lack of access to the public sewer system.

On March 5, 2020, the Company announced disruptive pump and lift station pricing, stating that its prefabricated modules with a lifespan of up to 100 years now compete with precast concrete.

On April 15, 2021, the Company announced that its Progressive Water Treatment division is now shipping BroncBoost™, its workhorse Booster Pump Station equipment line. Engineered and built in Texas, BroncBoost allows customers to control water flow rates and pressure for mission critical water distribution systems.

On August 25, 2021, PWT entered into a Master Services Agreement (MSA) with a large US public utility company for water filtration systems that will provide process water at three power plants. The utility issued a purchase order for approximately $1.8 million, for the first power plant. The total purchase price payable to PWT under the MSA is approximately $5 million, subject to certain conditions, including receipt and acceptance by PWT of additional purchase orders. We expect the overall contract to take up to two years to deliver from the date of the MSA.

Modular Water Systems

On June 22, 2018, OriginClear signed an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with Daniel “Dan” Early P. E. for his proprietary technology for prefabricated water transport and treatment systems. On July 19, 2018, the Company began incubating its Modular Water Treatment Division (MWS) around Mr. Early’s technology and perspective customers. The Company has funded the development of this division with internal cash flow. In Q1 of 2020, the Company fully integrated MWS with wholly-owned Progressive Water Treatment Inc. The Company is currently developing MWS as a discrete line of business for an eventual spinoff. Mr. Early currently serves as Chief Engineer for OriginClear.

On July 19, 2018, the Company launched its Modular Water Treatment Division, offering a unique product line of prefabricated water transport and treatment systems. Daniel “Dan” Early P.E. (Professional Engineer) heads the Modular Water Systems (“MWS”) division. On June 25, 2018, Dan Early granted the Company a worldwide, exclusive non-transferable license to the technology and knowhow behind MWS (See “Intellectual Property”). A ten-year renewal on May 20, 2020 added the right to sublicense and create manufacturing joint ventures. On July 25, 2018, MWS received its first order, for a brewery wastewater treatment plant.

With PWT and other companies as fabricators and assemblers, MWS designs, manufactures and delivers prefabricated water transport (pump and lift stations) under the EveraMOD™ brand; and wastewater treatment plant (“WWTP”) products under the EveraSKID™ and EveraTREAT™ brands to customers and end-users which are required to clean their own wastewater, such as schools, small communities, institutional facilities, real estate developments, factories, and industrial parks.

On September 28, 2021, the Company announced that MWS deployed its pilot Pondster™ brand modular lagoon treatment system at a Mobile Home Park (MHP) or trailer park, in Troy, Alabama.

On June 16, 2022 the Company announced that MWS received purchase orders for approximately $1.5 Million in May of 2022. This compared to $1,774,880 in purchase orders for the entire year 2021.

On July 25, 2022 the Company announced that decentralized water treatment, long pioneered by OriginClear’s Modular Water Systems™ (MWS), is now being mandated by major US cities to recycle water in large new buildings.

On August 12, 2022 the Company announced the inaugural delivery and installation of its pre-engineered EveraBOX™ to implement a low-risk Liquid Ammonium Sulfate (LAS) disinfectant system for Pennsylvania’s Beaver Falls Municipal Water Authority (BFMA). Typical of MWS products, EveraBOX is manufactured using inexpensive, long-lasting High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) or Polypropylene (PP) materials. These materials have proven to be less affected by supply chain issues currently impacting metal and fiberglass construction.

Water on Demand™: a new strategic direction.

OriginClear is also developing a new outsourced water treatment business called “Water On Demand”: or “WOD” as a potential revenue source. The WOD model intends to offer private businesses the ability to pay for water treatment and purification services on a per-gallon basis. This is commonly known as Design-Build-Own-Operate or “DBOO”. On April 13, 2021, we announced formation of a wholly-owned subsidiary called Water On Demand #1, Inc. (“WOD #1”) to pursue capitalization of the equipment required. The WOD Subsidiaries, Water On Demand #2, Inc. (“WOD #2”), Water On Demand #3, Inc. (“WOD #3”), Water On Demand #4, Inc. (“WOD #4”) were separately created to permit optional segmenting of capital pools according to strategic partnerships. The Company is now simplifying this structure by placing all funds in WOD #1 and tracking the partnerships within that company. As they are subject to a security guaranty by the Company, the WOD Subsidiaries, and the capital raised for them through the Company’s Series Y offering, shall continue to be held by the Company. This capital will be made available to WODI to be deployed, subject to a planned management contract.

The Company intends to pilot a first DBOO contract and thereafter, work with regional water service companies to build and operate the water treatment systems it finances. Additional financing hubs could be set up in world financial centers.

Delegating the building and operating of WOD-financed systems to regional water companies under performance contract, with the aim of developing a network of such partners, is expected to enable rapid scale-up of the WOD program, and the partner network would create a high barrier to entry for competitors.

On April 13, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the plan to spin off its Water On Demand business into a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, Water On Demand Inc., which will hold the assets, liabilities, intellectual property and business operations of the Water On Demand business.

The Company stipulates that it has excluded the WOD Subsidiaries, and all capital already raised and to be raised in the future in its Series Y offering, from this assignment of assets and will make the capital available as part of a planned management contract. The Company intends to also register a Regulation A offering by WODI which is intended to accumulate capital for WODI to direct toward WOD projects.

To enable rapid scaling, WODI does not initially intend to build, maintain or service the water treatment systems it finances, but instead contract with regional water service companies to carry out these functions. On April 6, 2022, an agreement in principle was reached to work with the first of these intended contractors, Envirogen Technologies (www.envirogen.com), a 30-year international provider of environmental technology and process solutions (www.originclear.com/company-news/originclear-and-envirogen-to-partner-on-water-on-demand). Future resources to build, maintain and service these financed systems may come from acquisitions; however, these are not actively being planned.

At the time of this filing, WODI had no staff or independent resources. Under a prospective management services contract, OCLN is providing all staffing and administrative resources, as well as access to the funds it has raised for WOD investments.

Market Opportunity

On a global basis, only twenty percent (20%) of all sewage and thirty percent (30%) of all industrial waste are ever treated. Water leakage results in the loss of thirty-five percent (35%) of all clean water across the planet. Cutting that number in half would provide clean water for 100 million people. This is a situation of great danger, but also great potential.

We believe businesses can no longer rely on giant, centralized water utilities to meet the challenge. That is why more and more business users are doing their own water treatment and recycling. Whether by choice or necessity, those businesses that invest in onsite water systems gain a tangible asset on their business and real estate and can enjoy better water quality at a lower cost, especially if treated water is recycled.

We believe self-reliant businesses are quietly building “decentralized water wealth” for themselves while also helping their communities. Environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing guidelines, which drive about a quarter of all professionally managed assets around the world, specifically include the key factor of how well corporations manage water.

As civil infrastructure ages and fails and as the costs for new and replacement infrastructure increase year over year, we believe engineers and end-users will search for new ways and methods of deploying water and wastewater systems that are less expensive to deliver and much less expensive to own and operate with the mission intent of substantially increasing the replacement intervals currently experienced by conventional materials of construction and conventional product delivery models.

Reducing Risk through Outsourcing

Inflation of water rates greatly exceeds core inflation (see Figure 2), creating a risk for managers of businesses served by municipalities. We believe this creates an incentive for self-treatment; but these businesses may lack the capital for large water plant expenditures, and the in-house expertise to manage them. Outsourcing through what we call Water on Demand™ means that these companies do not have to worry about the problem, either financing it or managing it.

As an example, in information technology, few companies operate their own server in-house powering their website. Rather, such servers are typically managed by professionals through a service level agreement. In the water industry, when applied to outsourced water treatment, a service level agreement is known as O&M agreement. When the vendor retains ownership of the equipment, the concept is expanded to “Own and Operate”, an extension of the basic “Design and Build”, for a full offering known as DBOO, which is very similar to the solar energy programs known as Power Purchase Agreements (“PPAs”).

Under such a plan, a business can outsource its wastewater treatment by simply signing on the dotted line; instantly avoiding most capital expense, and the trouble of managing something that is a distraction from their core business.

We believe this is financially and operationally attractive to industrial, agricultural and commercial water users, while OriginClear’s Water On Demand program can potentially drive speeded-up deals and more revenue streams from providing water treatment as a service.

The Decentralization Megatrend

Figure 1

An updated report of October 2018, “Public Spending on Transportation and Water Infrastructure, 1956 to 2017” (www.cbo.gov/system/files?file=2018-10/54539-Infrastructure.pdf), stated that The Federal Government’s and State and Local Governments’ Spending on Water Utilities, including water supply and wastewater treatment facilities, was $4 billion in 2016 – a drop of about $13 billion since 1976!

As municipalities continue to be underfunded (Figure 1) with rising water rates (Figure 2), businesses are increasingly choosing to treat and purify their own water, in a trend known as Decentralized Water, first described in the Lux Research presentation of June 28, 2016. (https://members.luxresearchinc.com/research/report/20060).

Figure 2

According to the Lux Research data, the unmet infrastructure needs of America’s 150,000+ water systems will exceed $100 billion per year by 2025. And the recent Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act only provided one-time funding of $55 billion, which is less than one year’s deficit.

It is this underfunding that is creating the water quality problems we are seeing in places like Flint, Michigan and Jackson, Mississippi.

It is not realistic to expect this underfunding of central water to be resolved anytime soon. The alternative is to simply reduce the load on these central systems. Since industry and agriculture together account for 89% of all water demand in the United States (https://ourworldindata.org/water-use-stress), we can enable commercial users to purify their own wastewater, thereby enabling water districts to focus on serving residential users – achieving a major social justice victory by simply unburdening the central facilities.

Self-treatment is a win-win, too – because businesses can do better by treating their own water; for instance, implementing recycling of the water they pay for, and controlling their own costs.

But to make such a decentralization program work, capital is needed. Most businesses simply do not have it in their capital plan to treat their own water. Now, with Water On Demand, they can forget about investing in capital and expertise: they can simply continue to pay on the meter as they always have, but to a micro-utility that sits on their own premises.

Technology specifically developed for decentralization.

In 2018, OriginClear launched its Modular Water Systems (MWS) division (www.modularwater.com), headed by Daniel M. Early, P.E., a pioneer of on-site or decentralized water treatment in this country. Supported by its proprietary technology, this division already serves businesses doing their own water treatment. These modular systems can be easily put to work for pre-funded, pay-per-gallon applications, potentially creating a barrier to entry for other companies wanting to do the same.

Also, the portable nature of some of these prefabricated, drop-in-place Modular Water Systems may provide a competitive benefit for a pure service model where the equipment remains the property of the Company, because their mobility enables some degree of repossession in the event the client fails to pay their monthly bill. We believe this is a key competitive advantage.

Finally, we could license MWS technology to Water On Demand operating partners under contract to design, build and operate systems, thus achieving both acceptance of such technology and a standardized “fleet” of installed systems.

Implementation of Water On Demand

On March 17, 2021, OriginClear incorporated Water On Demand #1 Inc. (“WOD#1”) in Nevada as a wholly owned subsidiary to operate and manage our Water on Demand business.

In November 2021, the Company created additional Water on Demand subsidiaries – Water on Demand # 2, Inc. (WOD # 2), Water on Demand # 3, Inc. (WOD # 3) and Water on Demand # 4, Inc. (WOD # 4) were separately created to permit optional segmenting of capital pools according to strategic partnerships. The Company is now simplifying this structure by placing all funds in WOD #1 and tracking the partnerships within that company. As they are subject to a security guaranty by the Company, the WOD Subsidiaries, and the capital raised for them through the Company’s Series Y offering, shall continue to be held by the Company. This capital will be made available to WODI to be deployed, subject to a planned management contract.

The Company requires funding in order to execute on its Water on Demand initiative. As of the period ended September 30, 2022, the Company received aggregate funding in the amount of $2,604,639 through the sale of its Series Y Preferred Stock dedicated to the Water on Demand program.

The Company is now actively evaluating potential clients for a test of water treatment and purification services on a pay-per-gallon basis, but a first agreement has not been reached. Also, the Company, as represented by OCLN, is in early stage talks with partners to deliver DBOO services, with the Company providing financing and contract management services. In the event such talks do not succeed, the Company, represented under contract by OCLN, would need to implement its own resources for such DBOO services.

On April 6, 2022, the Company agreed in principle to an arrangement with Houston-based, international water service company Envirogen Technologies for certain operations and maintenance (O&M) functions, the first of a potential series of such partnerships, intended to enable Water On Demand to focus on finance and asset management while the water industry benefits from a steady stream of pre-capitalized projects.

(https://www.originclear.com/company-news/originclear-and-envirogen-to-partner-on-water-on-demand)

On April 13, 2022, the Company announced the formation of Water On Demand, Inc. (“WODI”) as a wholly owned subsidiary and its plans to transfer each of the WOD subsidiaries and all assets, intellectual property and operations related to the Water On Demand business to WODI. The Company now stipulates that it has excluded the WOD Subsidiaries, and all capital already raised and to be raised in the future in its Series Y offering, from this assignment of assets and will make the capital available as part of a planned management contract. The Company intends to also register a Regulation A offering by WODI which is intended to accumulate capital for WODI to direct toward WOD projects.

On June 29, 2022 the Company announced the launch of its $300 Million offering (the “Reg D Offering”) to be conducted on behalf of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Water on Demand, Inc. (“WODI”). The offering of the securities is made pursuant to an exemption from registration under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D, to accredited investors only. Water On Demand is designed to offer clean water systems to businesses and communities as a managed service without any capital requirement. Due to a planned separate filing of a Regulation A+ Offering (the “Reg A Offering”), the Company has decided to limit the Reg D Offering to $20 million in total.

Advisory Support for OriginClear

In September 2020, OriginClear announced that Philanthroinvestors had entered a strategic agreement with the Company and had listed the Company on its new Water Philanthroinvestors program. At the same time, the Company appointed Philanthroinvestors Founder, Ivan Anz and CEO, Arte Maren to OriginClear’s Board of Advisors.

$H2O™

On May 10, 2021, OriginClear filed “System And Method For Water Treatment Incentive”, a patent application for using blockchain technology and non-fungible tokens (“NFT”) to simplify the distribution of payments on outsourced water treatment and purification services billed on a pay-per-gallon basis ahead of inflation, or Water On Demand. The Company recently filed a PCT application pertaining to the invention.

On May 16, 2021, the Company applied for a registered trademark for the mark $H2O (also referred to as H2O) as the blockchain system representing this activity. The current filing basis is “Intent-to-use basis” (under Trademark Act Section 1(b)).

On June 10, 2021, the Company named Ricardo Fabiani Garcia, key OriginClear investor and a veteran technologist, to the Company’s Board of Advisors. Mr. Garcia is helping to plan the eventual rollout of $H2O.

There is no active development effort for $H2O. Depending on the final form that $H2O takes, we may encounter regulatory concerns that we cannot guarantee we will overcome. In that event, we would fall back on ordinary financial payment systems. Neither our Water on Demand or other current business models rely on any blockchain system for operation, and we can accomplish our operational goals using ordinary financial and currency channels. The Company does not intend to incorporate a blockchain system in any registered offering.

ClearAqua™

OriginClear is currently exploring a utility coin, or token, named ClearAqua, The Water Coin For The World™, which would implement a grassroots network for alerts, leading to actionable proposals for water projects. There is no assurance this token will be issued or if issued, will be successful. ClearAqua is not required for OriginClear’s core business.

We filed, on an intent-to-use basis, US Trademark applications on July 21, 2021, for the Mark, CLEARAQUA. We also engaged San Diego-based Baja Technologies Inc. (“Baja”) who wrote a preliminary white paper, but no other action has been taken and ClearAqua is not in active development at this time. The Company does not intend to incorporate a coin, token or cryptocurrency in any registered offering.

Potential Acquisitions and Incubations

The Company, in its role as the CWIB, seeks to incubate or acquire businesses that help industrial water users achieve water self-sustainability. We believe that assembling a group of such water treatment and water management businesses is potentially an opportunity for spinoffs and increased Company value for the stockholders.

We are particularly interested in companies which successfully execute on Design-Build-Own-Operate or DBOO. These companies are growing fast, because tougher regulations, water scarcities and general outsourcing trends are driving industrial and agricultural water treatment users to delegate their water problem to service providers. As Global Water Intelligence pointed out in their report on October 30, 2015, “Water is often perceived as a secondary importance, with end-users increasingly wanting to focus solely on their own core business. This is driving a move away from internal water personnel towards external service experts to take control of water aspects.” External service experts are typically small–privately owned and locally operated. Creating a network of such providers could lead to enormous economies of scale through sharing of best practices, technologies, and customers and could represent a major barrier to entry for Water On Demand’s competitors.

The Company cautions that suitable acquisition candidates may not be identified and even if identified, the Company may not have adequate capital to complete the acquisition and/or definitive agreement may not be reached. Internally-incubated businesses, similarly, may not become commercial successes.

Patents and Intellectual Property

On June 25, 2018, Dan Early granted the Company a worldwide, exclusive non-transferable license to intellectual property consisting of five issued US patents, and design software, CAD, marketing, design and specification documents (“Early IP”).

On May 20, 2020, we agreed on a renewal of the license for an additional ten years, with three-year extensions. We also gained the right to sublicense, and, with approval, to create ISO-compliant manufacturing joint ventures.

The Early IP consists of combined protection on the materials and configurations of complete packaged water treatment systems, built into containers. The patents consist of the following:

On May 10, 2021, OriginClear announced that it had filed “System And Method For Water Treatment Incentive”, a patent application for using blockchain technology and non-fungible tokens (NFT) to simplify the distribution of payments on outsourced water treatment and purification services billed on a pay-per-gallon basis ahead of inflation.

With the rising need for local, point-of-use or point-of-discharge water treatment solutions, the Modular Water Systems licensed IP family is the core to a portable, integrated, transportable, plug-and-play system that, unlike other packaged solutions, can be manufactured in series, have a longer life and are more respectful of the environment.

The common feature of this IP family is the use of a construction material (Structural Reinforced ThermoPlastic), for the containers that is:

	●	more durable: an estimated 75 to 100-year life cycle as opposed to a few decades for metal, or 40 to 50 years maximum for concrete;

	●	easier to manufacture: vessels manufacturing process can be automated; and

	●	recyclable and can be made out of biomaterials

In addition, patents US 8,372,274 and US 8,871,089 (1 and 3) relate to the use of vessels or containers made out of this material combined with a configuration of functional modules, or process, for general water treatment.

Other subsequent patents, which build upon the original claims, focus on more targeted applications. These patents outline a given combination of modules engineered inside the vessel to address a specific water treatment challenge.

Expansion of the PWT and MWS Business-Lines

In April 2019, we completed the expansion of our manufacturer’s representative network to serve both PWT and MWS for customer lead generation.

Beginning with its first installation, PWT built MWS components. The Company is currently developing MWS as a discrete line of business for an eventual spinoff, and MWS systems are built and assembled by a network of fabrication partners. In addition, the Company is developing the EveraMOD Pump Station product line as a standalone business.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Not all of the accounting policies require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. However, the following policies could be deemed to be critical within the SEC definition.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues and related costs on construction contracts are recognized as the performance obligations for work are satisfied over time in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, revenue and associated profit, will be recognized as the customer obtains control of the goods and services promised in the contract (i.e., performance obligations). All un-allocable indirect costs and corporate general and administrative costs are charged to the periods as incurred. However, in the event a loss on a contract is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss, as it is determined. Revisions in cost and profit estimates during the course of the contract are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts for the revisions become known. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income, which are recognized in the period the revisions are determined.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used to review the Company’s goodwill, impairments and estimations of long-lived assets, revenue recognition on percentage of completion type contracts, allowances for uncollectible accounts, inventory valuation, valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value of financial instruments requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of September 30, 2022, the amounts reported for cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.

Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Revenue and Cost of Sales

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had revenue of $3,366,061 compared to $1,120,687 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $2,542,887 compared to $790,336 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Revenue and cost of sales increased primarily due to our subsidiary’s increase in revenue.

Our gross profit was $823,174 and $330,351 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had selling and marketing expenses of $712,420, compared to $636,481 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was primarily due to an increase in marketing expense.

General and Administrative Expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had general and administrative expenses of $1,085,044 compared to $1,006,041 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in professional and legal fees and outside services.

Other Income and (Expenses)

Other income and (expenses) increased by $47,787,918 to $(28,067,729) for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $19,720,189 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was due primarily to an increase in loss on non-cash accounts associated with the change in fair value of the derivatives in the amount of $47,405,884, with an overall increase in other expenses in the amount of $382,034.

Net Income/(Loss)

Our net loss increased by $47,468,166 to $(29,071,051) for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to net income of $18,397,115 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The majority of the increase in net loss was due primarily to an increase in other expenses associated with the net change in fair value of derivative instruments estimated each period. These estimates are based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price, volatility, variable conversion prices based on market prices defined in the respective agreements and probabilities of certain outcomes based on managements’ estimates. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period, therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.

Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Revenue and Cost of Sales

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had revenue of $7,768,133 compared to $2,848,287 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $6,484,235 compared to $2,237,282 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Revenue and cost of sales increased primarily due to our subsidiary’s increase in revenue.

Our gross profit was $1,283,898 and $611,005 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had selling and marketing expenses of $1,825,170, compared to $2,201,045 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses was primarily due to a decrease in marketing and investor relations expense.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $2,900,203 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $2,785,713 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in professional and legal fees.

Other Income and (Expenses)

Other income and (expenses) increased by $24,467,149 to $(30,421,325) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $(5,954,176) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was due primarily to an increase in loss on non-cash accounts associated with the change in fair value of the derivatives in the amount of $25,029,945, with an overall decrease in other expenses in the amount of $562,796.

Net Income/(Loss)

Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $(33,894,246), compared to net loss of $(10,363,963) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The majority of the increase in net loss was due primarily to an increase in other expenses associated with the loss on net change in derivative instruments estimated each period. These estimates are based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price, volatility, variable conversion prices based on market prices defined in the respective agreements and probabilities of certain outcomes based on managements’ estimates. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period, therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has not generated significant revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, raising additional capital and increasing sales. We obtained funds from investors during the nine months ending September 30, 2022. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case of equity financing.

In connection with our sale of Series M Preferred Stock conducted under Regulation A under the Securities Act, we may be subject to claims for rescission. If this occurs, it may have a negative effect on our liquidity.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash of $1,751,226 and $706,421, including restricted cash of $1,266,391 and $433,951, respectively and a working capital deficit of $37,858,994 and $12,826,008, respectively. The increase in working capital deficit was due primarily to an increase in non-cash derivative liabilities, accounts payable, contract assets, cash and accrued expenses, with a decrease in convertible promissory notes, contracts liabilities, loan payable and contract receivables.

During the period ended September 30, 2022, we raised an aggregate of $4,525,782 from the sale of preferred stock in private placements. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions and future revenue.

Net cash used in operating activities was $3,483,023 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $3,560,033 for the prior period ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in contract liabilities, contract assets, and prepaid expenses, with an increase in and accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Net cash flows used in investing activities was $17,138 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $13,500 for the prior period ended September 30, 2021. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the purchase of fixed assets during the current period.

Net cash flows provided by financing activities was $4,554,966 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $3,716,241 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was due primarily to an increase in proceeds for issuance of preferred stock. To date we have principally financed our operations through the sale of our common and preferred stock and the issuance of debt.

We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures during the next twelve months. Although our proceeds from the issuance of securities together with revenue from operations are currently sufficient to fund our operating expenses in the near future, we will need to raise additional funds in the future so that we can maintain and expand our operations. Therefore, our future operations are dependent on our ability to secure additional financing, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital may restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may have to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations.

We have estimated our current average burn, and believe that we have assets to ensure that we can function without liquidation for a limited time, due to our cash on hand, growing revenue, and our ability to raise money from our investor base. Based on the aforesaid, we believe we have the ability to continue our operations for the immediate future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of operations. However, there cannot be any assurance that any of the aforementioned assumptions will come to fruition and as such we may only be able to function for a short time.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15f of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Internal Controls

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
