NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (UNAUDITED)

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015

 

1.	Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of OriginClear, Inc. (the “Company”) (formerly OriginOil, Inc.) and its subsidiary OriginOil (HK) Ltd., 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, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.  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, 2014.

 

Going Concern

The accompanying condensed 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 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, additional cash infusion. 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 undue 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.

 

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue upon delivery of equipment, 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.  Title to the equipment is transferred to the customer once the last payment is received. We record revenue as it is received, and the equipment has been fully accepted by the customer. Generally, we extend credit to our customers and do not require collateral.  We do not ship a product until we have either a purchase agreement or rental agreement signed by the customer with a payment arrangement.  

 

Loss per Share Calculations

Basic loss per share 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 similar 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 loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss.

 

For the period ended September 30, 2015, the Company has excluded 3,954,644 options, 23,749,549 warrants outstanding, and notes convertible into 292,959,044 shares of common stock, because their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive.

 

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

 

On September 29, 2015, the Company adopted and approved a new incentive stock option plan and reserved 8,000,000 shares of common stock at par value $0.0001 per share of the Corporation for issuance.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES (Continued)

 

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, 2015, the balances reported for cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, 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 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, 2015:

 

			Total				(Level 1)				(Level 2)				(Level 3)
	Derivative Liability		$	7,155,077			$	-			$	-			$	7,155,077
	Total liabilities measured at fair value		$	7,155,077			$	-			$	-			$	7,155,077

 

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

 

	Beginning balance as of January 1, 2015		$	4,052,401
	Fair value of derivative liabilities issued			993,504
	Derivative reclassified from equity			93,380
	Loss on change in derivative liability.			2,015,792
	Ending balance as of September 30, 2015		$	7,155,077

 

Use of Estimates

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

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Management has reviewed recently issued accounting pronouncements and has adopted the following;

 

On August 27, 2014, the Company adopted the amendment to ASU 2014-15 on Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40). The amendment provides for guidance to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendment requires management to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. The Company has to define the term of substantial doubt, which has to be evaluated every reporting period including interim periods. Management has to provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of its plan, and disclose when substantial doubt is alleviated as well as when it is not alleviated. The Company is required to assess managements plan for a period of one year after the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendment is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the accounting standards currently adopted will have a material effect on the accompanying condensed financial statements.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES (Continued)

 

Foreign Currency Matters

We adopted ASC Topic 830 – Foreign Currency Matters, which relates to translating the records of a foreign subsidiary from its functional currency into the reporting currency. The records are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s foreign subsidiary is measured using the foreign subsidiary’s local currency as the functional currency. Revenues and expenses of such subsidiary has been translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Assets and liabilities have been translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. The resulting translation gain and loss adjustments are recorded directly as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, unless there is a sale or complete liquidation of the underlying foreign investments. During the period ended September 30, 2015, the foreign currency translation adjustments resulted in a loss of $14.

 

Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

 

Principles of Consolidation

The Company adopted the guidance of ASC Topic 810 “Consolidation” of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to determine whether and how to consolidate another entity.  Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 810-10-15-10 all majority-owned subsidiaries—all entities in which a parent has a controlling financial interest—shall be consolidated except (1) when control does not rest with the parent, the majority owner; (2) if the parent is a broker-dealer within the scope of Topic 940 and control is likely to be temporary; (3) consolidation by an investment company within the scope of Topic 946 of a non-investment-company investee.  Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 810-10-15-8, the usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting shares of another entity is a condition pointing toward consolidation.  The power to control may also exist with a lesser percentage of ownership, for example, by contract, lease, agreement with other stockholders, or by court decree. The Company consolidates all less-than-majority-owned subsidiaries, if any, in which the parent’s power to control exists.

 

The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the entity at September 30, 2015.

 

					Date of incorporation or
	Name of consolidated		State or other jurisdiction		formation (date of acquisition		Attributable interest
	subsidiary or entity		of incorporation or organization		if applicable		at September 30, 2015
	OriginOil (HK) Ltd.		Hong Kong		December 31, 2014		94.80%

  

As of September 30, 2015, OriginOil (HK) Ltd. had no sales and minimal operating assets. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

3.	CAPITAL STOCK

 

Preferred Stock

On April 10, 2015, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation for the creation of its Series A Preferred Stock designating 1,000 shares of its authorized preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock (“Old Series A Preferred Stock”) which provided supermajority voting rights to the holders of Old Series A Preferred Stock to change the name of the Company.  On September 30, 2015, the Company filed a Certificate of Withdrawal of the Certificate of Designation for its Old Series A Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of Nevada following the prior redemption of all issued and outstanding shares in that series of preferred stock.

 

 

On September 29, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Certificate of Designation establishing the rights, preferences, privileges and other terms of Series A Preferred Stock designating 1,000 shares of its authorized preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock (the “New Series A Preferred Stock”). The shares of New Series A Preferred Stock have a par value of $0.0001 per share. The New Series A Preferred Shares do not have a dividend rate or liquidation preference and are not convertible into shares of common stock. For so long as any shares of the New Series A Preferred Stock remain issued and outstanding, the holders thereof, voting separately as a class, shall have the right to vote on all shareholder matters equal to 51% of the total vote (representing a super majority voting power) on all matters related to equity incentive plans of the Company, including, among other things, adoption, amendment, cancellation of any equity incentive plans of the Company. Such vote shall be determined by the holder(s) of a majority of the then issued and outstanding shares of New Series A Preferred Stock. For example, if there are 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding at the time of a shareholder vote, the holders of the New Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, will have the right to vote an aggregate of 10,400 shares, out of a total number of 20,400 shares voting. The shares of the New Series A Preferred Stock shall be automatically redeemed by the Company at their par value on the first to occur of the following triggering events: (i) on the date that T. Riggs Eckelberry ceases, for any reason, to serve as officer, director or consultant of the Company, or (ii) on the date that the Company’s shares of common stock first trade on any national securities exchange provided that the listing rules of any such exchange prohibit preferential voting rights of a class of securities of the Company, or listing on any such national securities exchange is conditioned upon the elimination of the preferential voting rights of the New Series A Preferred Stock set forth in the Certificate of Designation. Additionally, the Company is prohibited from adopting any amendments to the Company’s Bylaws, Articles of Incorporation, as amended, making any changes to the Certificate of Designation establishing the New Series A Preferred Stock, or effecting any reclassification of the New Series A Preferred Stock, without the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding shares of New Series A Preferred Stock. However, the Company may, by any means authorized by law and without any vote of the holders of shares of New Series A Preferred Stock, make technical, corrective, administrative or similar changes to such Certificate of Designation that do not, individually or in the aggregate, adversely affect the rights or preferences of the holders of shares of New Series A Preferred Stock. Upon filing of the Certificate of Designation establishing the New Series A Preferred Stock, the Board authorized the Company to issue 1,000 shares of New Series A Preferred Stock to T. Riggs Eckelberry. Subsequent to the period end, on October 1, 2015, the Company filed the Certificate of Designation for the New Series A Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of Nevada and issued 1,000 shares of New Series A Preferred Stock to Mr. Eckelberry. See Note 8.

4.	CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

 

On various dates the Company entered into unsecured convertible Notes (the “Convertible Promissory Notes” or “Notes”), that mature between six and nine months from the date of issuance and bear interest at 10% per annum. The Notes mature on various dates through January 25, 2016. The Notes may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at conversion prices ranging from the lesser of $0.06 to $0.14 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends, combinations and other similar transactions) or 50% of the lowest trade price on any trade day following issuance of the Notes.  The Notes include customary default provisions related to payment of principal and interest and bankruptcy or creditor assignment.  In the event of default, the Notes shall become immediately due and payable at the mandatory default amount. The mandatory default amount is 150% of the Note amount and such mandatory default amount shall bear interest at 10% per annum.  In addition, for as long as the Notes or other convertible notes in effect between the purchaser and the Company are outstanding, if the Company issues any security with terms more favorable than the terms of the Notes or such other convertible notes or a term was not similarly provided to the purchaser of the Notes or such other convertible notes, then such more favorable or additional term shall, at the purchaser’s option, become part of the Notes and such other convertible notes. The conversion feature of the Notes was considered a derivative in accordance with current accounting guidelines because of the reset conversion features of the Notes. As of December 31, 2014, the outstanding principal balance was $2,885,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company issued an additional $615,000 of these Notes, and converted $830,000 in aggregate principal, plus accrued interest of $88,596 into 35,630,449 shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2015, the Notes had an aggregate remaining balance of $2,670,000. The Company recorded amortization of debt discount, which was recognized as interest expense in the amount of $467,554 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

  

On February 24, 2015, the OID Notes with an aggregate remaining balance of $273,125 were amended. The Notes are unsecured convertible promissory notes (the “OID Notes”), that included an original issue discount and one time interest, which has been fully amortized. The OID Notes were extended and matured on various dates through September 19, 2014. On each maturity date, each note was extended one year from its maturity date through September 19, 2015. On February 24, 2015, the Notes were amended and have a maturity date of December 31, 2015. The Notes were analyzed under ASC 470 (Extinguishment & Modification of debt) to determine if there was a 10% change between the fair value of the embedded conversion option immediately before and after the modification or exchange. The change of the fair value of the conversion feature was greater than 10% of the carrying value of the debt. As a result, in accordance with ASC 470-50, the Company deemed the terms of the amendment to be substantially different and treated the convertible note as an extinguishment. The OID Notes were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price initially of $0.4375. After the amendment the conversion price changed to the lesser of $0.08 per share, or b) fifty percent (50%) of the lowest trade price of common stock recorded since the original effective date of this note, or c) the lowest effective price per share granted to any person or entity after the effective date. On May 19, 2015, a holder of a note with a more favorable term converted a note at a price of $0.02, which became part of this note due to the reset provision mentioned above. The conversion feature of the notes was considered a derivative in accordance with current accounting guidelines because of the reset conversion features of the notes. The Company recorded amortization of debt discount, which was recognized as interest expense in the amount of $201,445 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company entered into various unsecured convertible Notes (the “Convertible Promissory Notes” or “Notes”), for an aggregate amount of $1,200,000. The notes mature nine months from the date of issuance and bear interest at 10% per annum. The Notes mature on various dates ending on May 27, 2016. The Notes may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at conversion prices ranging from the lesser of $0.04 to $0.08 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends, combinations and other similar transactions) or 50% of the lowest trade price on any trade day following issuance of the Notes.  The Notes include customary default provisions related to payment of principal and interest and bankruptcy or creditor assignment.  In the event of default, the Notes shall become immediately due and payable at the mandatory default amount. The mandatory default amount is 150% of the Note amount and such mandatory default amount shall bear interest at 10% per annum.  In addition, for as long as the Notes or other convertible notes in effect between the purchaser and the Company are outstanding, if the Company issues any security with terms more favorable than the terms of the Notes or such other convertible notes or a term was not similarly provided to the purchaser of the Notes or such other convertible notes, then such more favorable or additional term shall, at the purchaser’s option, become part of the Notes and such other convertible notes. The conversion feature of the Notes was considered a derivative in accordance with current accounting guidelines because of the reset conversion features of the Notes. The Company recorded amortization of debt discount, which was recognized as interest expense in the amount of $196,811 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

We evaluated the financing transactions in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that the conversion feature of the convertible promissory notes was not afforded the exemption for conventional convertible instruments due to its variable conversion rate. The note has no explicit limit on the number of shares issuable so they did not meet the conditions set forth in current accounting standards for equity classification. The Company elected to recognize the note under paragraph 815-15-25-4, whereby, there would be a separation into a host contract and derivative instrument. The Company elected to initially and subsequently measure the note in its entirety at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Company recorded a derivative liability representing the imputed interest associated with the embedded derivative. The derivative liability is adjusted periodically according to the stock price fluctuations.

4.	CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE (Continued)

 

On September 29, 2014, the Company issued a convertible note in exchange for an accounts payable in the amount of $383,351, which could be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock after March 29, 2015. In April 2015, $230,000 of the principal was converted into 4,455,422 shares of common stock The note was accounted for under ASC 470, whereby, a beneficial conversion feature was recorded at time of issuance. The note has a zero stated interest rate, and the conversion price shall be equal to 75% of the average three lowest last sale prices traded during the 25 trading days immediately prior to conversion. Accordingly, in April 2015, the note was analyzed and accounted for under ASC 815 for Derivatives and Hedging, whereby, a derivative was recorded and $93,380 was reclassified from equity. The note did not meet the criteria of a derivative at the time of issuance, and was accounted for as a beneficial conversion feature, which was amortized and recognized as interest expense in the financial statements. The Company recorded amortization of debt discount, which was recognized as interest expense in the amount of $144,892 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

On June 30, 2015, the Company issued a convertible note in exchange for an accounts payable in the amount of $432,048, which could be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock after December 31, 2015. The note was accounted for under ASC 470, whereby, a beneficial conversion feature was recorded at time of issuance. The note has a zero stated interest rate, and the conversion price shall be equal to 75% of the average three lowest last sale prices traded during the 25 trading days immediately prior to conversion. The note did not meet the criteria of a derivative, and was accounted for as a beneficial conversion feature, which will be amortized over the life of the note and recognized as interest expense in the financial statements. The Company recorded amortization of debt discount, which was recognized as interest expense in the amount of $11,425 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

5.	DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

We evaluated the financing transactions in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that the conversion feature of the convertible promissory note was not afforded the exemption for conventional convertible instruments due to its variable conversion rate. The note has no explicit limit on the number of shares issuable so they did not meet the conditions set forth in current accounting standards for equity classification. The Company elected to recognize the note under paragraph 815-15-25-4, whereby, there would be a separation into a host contract and derivative instrument. The Company elected to initially and subsequently measure the note in its entirety at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The derivative liability is adjusted periodically according to the stock price fluctuations.

 

For purpose of determining the fair market value of the derivative liability for the embedded conversion, the Company used Black Scholes option valuation model. The significant assumptions used in the Black Scholes valuation of the derivative are as follows:

 

	Risk free interest rate	.01% - .28%
	Stock volatility factor	55.59% - 124.86%
	Weighted average expected option life	6 - 9 months
	Expected dividend yield	None

 

The derivative liability recognized in the financial statements as of September 30, 2015 was $7,155,077.

Overview of Business

 

Today, OriginClear is composed of two parallel, mutually reinforcing businesses:

 

The OriginClear Group™

 

Through accretive acquisition, we are building the OriginClear Group™, which is designed to unite the fragmented water treatment industry and take advantage of the historic outsourcing trend in water management

 

Members of the OriginClear Group are intended to be drawn from strong, profitable and growing companies which have synergies with each other, resulting, we believe, in a much more powerful combination than they could achieve on their own.

 

The guiding policy for OriginClear Group transactions is to acquire the companies 100%, as is already the case with Progressive Water Treatment, its first member.

 

Electro Water Separation™

 

We are continuing to develop and commercialize Electro Water Separation™ (EWS), the high-speed, primarily chemical-free technology to clean up large quantities of water. It removes oils, suspended solids, certain dissolved solids, and pathogens, in a continuous and energy-efficient process.

 

We originally developed this technology to solve the challenge of removing microalgae from a highly dilute state. The electro-chemical process was then extended, first to cleaning up oil and gas waste water and most recently, to industrial, agricultural and urban waste. EWS is entirely electrical in nature and does not rely on algae for its cleaning capabilities.

 

EWS is designed to be an early step in removal of oils, solids and pathogens; reducing the work that more expensive, downstream processes must do, therefore enabling more cost-efficient and high-volume water cleanup overall.

 

Our technology integrates easily with other industry processes. We have begun to embed our technology into larger systems through licensing and joint ventures.

 

 Our long-term business model is based on licensing our technology to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors, resellers, service providers and other licensees.

 

On December 31, 2014, we incorporated OriginClear (Hong Kong) (“OCHK”) as our wholly-owned master licensee for EWS in China. On September 1, 2015, we received an investment in OCHK of $100,000 (for a 5.2% equity stake of common stock) from a prospective manufacturer who desired to create a joint manufacturing venture.

 

PWT Acquisition

 

On October 1, 2015, we acquired PWT, our first acquisition for the OriginClear Group.

 

PWT designs and manufactures a complete line of water treatment systems for municipal, industrial and pure water applications. PWT utilizes a wide range of technologies, including chemical injection, media filters, membrane, ion exchange and SCADA 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 PWT’s reach extending worldwide from Japan to Argentina to the Middle East.

 

Since the acquisition of PWT took place after September 30, 2015, the results of operation of PWT and other financial information are not included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2015.

 

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

 

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.

 

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 amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these financial statements include the estimate of useful lives of property and equipment, the deferred tax valuation allowance, and the fair value of stock options, warrants, convertible notes and common stock for services. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

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, 2015, the amounts reported for cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.

  

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management reviewed accounting pronouncements issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and no pronouncements were believed by management to have a material impact on our present or future financial statements.

  

Results of Operation

 

Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Three months of the Company’s foreign subsidiary’s operations were consolidated into the Company’s financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2015.

             

Revenue and Cost of Goods Sold

 

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $4,000 and $6,785, respectively. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $0 and $949, respectively. The decrease in revenue and cost of sales was due to a decrease in equipment sold and the related material supplies and contractor fees for equipment production.

 

To date we have had minimal revenues due to our focus on product development and testing.  In addition, we are not focused on immediate sales of equipment but on licensing or private labeling type transactions, which we believe has the potential to yield stronger long term revenue. In addition, we have begun to make accretive acquisitions of water treatment companies which we believe will improve both revenue and profits substantially.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Selling and General Administrative Expenses

 

Selling and general administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by $125,716 to $1,020,158 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $894,442 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in SG&A expenses was due primarily to an increase in marketing expense of $185,508 offset by a decrease in advertising of $31,830, and an overall decrease in other SG&A expenses of $27,962.

 

Research and Development Cost

 

Research and development (“R&D”) cost decreased by $144,875 to $131,483 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $276,358 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in overall R&D costs was primarily due to a decrease in the purchase of durable items for testing. R&D costs have consisted of material supplies and testing for EWS appliances.

  

Other Income and (Expenses)

 

Other income and expenses increased by $2,197,547 to ($2,742,137) for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to ($544,590) for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was the result of an increase in non-cash accounts associated with the fair value of the derivatives in the amount of $2,343,594, interest expense of $38,599, offset by a decrease in amortization of debt discount of $130,931, and commitment fees of $53,715.

  

Net Loss

 

Our net loss increased by $2,179,901 to $3,894,005 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to a net loss of $1,714,104 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The majority of the increase in net loss was due primarily to an increase in other income and (expenses) in the amount of $2,197,547 and a decrease in total operating expenses of $19,482, with a decrease in gross profit of $1,836.  Currently operating costs exceed revenue because sales are not yet sufficient to cover costs.  We cannot assure of when or if revenue will exceed operating costs.

 

 

Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Revenue and Cost of Goods Sold

 

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $140,280 and $166,195, respectively. Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $86,294 and $106,919, respectively. The decrease in revenue and cost of sales was due to a decrease in equipment sold and the related material supplies and contractor fees for equipment production.

 

To date we have had minimal revenues due to our focus on product development and testing.  In addition, we are not focused on immediate sales of equipment but on licensing or private labeling type transactions, which we believe has the potential to yield stronger long term revenue. In addition, we have begun to make accretive acquisitions of water treatment companies which we believe will improve both revenue and profits substantially.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Selling and General Administrative Expenses

 

Selling and general administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased by $1,278,821 to $3,316,697 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $4,595,518 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in SG&A expenses was due primarily to a decrease in marketing expense of $367,313 of which $250,298 of the decrease was non-cash for shares issued for services, a decrease in outside services of $887,906, a decrease in salaries of $24,368, with an overall increase in other SG&A expenses of $766.

 

  Research and Development Cost

 

Research and development (“R&D”) cost decreased by $163,570 to $592,225 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $755,795 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in overall R&D costs was primarily due to a decrease in the purchase of durable items for testing. R&D costs have consisted of material supplies and testing for EWS appliances.

  

Other Income and (Expenses)

 

Other income and expenses decreased by $2,299,143 to ($3,494,515) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to ($5,793,658) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease was the result of a decrease in non-cash accounts associated with the fair value of the derivatives in the amount of $1,916,472, amortization of debt discount of $604,183, commitment fees of $40,558, realized gain on investment of 6,353, and, offset by an increase in interest expense of $110,993, and a loss on sale of asset of $1,552.

   

Net Loss

 

Our net loss decreased by $3,735,367 to $7,362,848 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to a net loss of $11,098,215 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The majority of the decrease in net loss was due primarily to a decrease in other income and (expenses) in the amount of $2,299,143 and a decrease in total operating expenses of $1,441,514, with a decrease in gross profit of $5,290.  Currently operating costs exceed revenue because sales are not yet sufficient to cover costs.  We cannot assure of when or if revenue will exceed operating costs.

 

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 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 financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we did not generate significant revenue, incurred a net loss of $7,362,848 and cash used in operations of $2,350,081. As of September 30, 2015, we had a working capital deficiency of $11,035,646 and a shareholders’ deficit of $10,873,832. These factors, among others raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of us to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusion. We have obtained funds from our shareholders in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and have standing purchase orders and open invoices with customers. Management believes this funding will continue from our current investors and has also obtained funding from new investors. Management believes the existing shareholders, the prospective new investors and future revenue will provide the additional cash needed to meet our obligations as they become due, and will allow the development of our core business operations.

 

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had cash of $938,853 and $198,384, respectively and working capital deficit of $11,035,646 and $7,330,957, respectively.  The increase in working capital deficit was due primarily to an increase in non-cash derivative liabilities, work-in-process, accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred income.

 

 

 

During the first nine months of 2015, we raised an aggregate of $1,815,000 in an offering of unsecured convertible notes, $1,220,732 from the sale of shares of our common stock and $100,000 from contributions made by non-controlling interest. 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 $2,350,081 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $3,432,152 for the prior period ended September 30, 2014. The decrease of $1,082,071 in cash used in operating activities was due to the net decrease in other assets, work in process and net loss due to an increase in non-cash accounts associated with the derivatives with an increase in prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred income. Currently operating costs exceed revenue because sales are not yet significant.

 

Net cash flows used in investing activities was $(45,168) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to $(5,747) for the prior period ended September 30, 2014. The net increase in cash used in investing activities was due to an increase in the purchase of property and equipment.

 

Net cash flows provided by financing activities was $3,135,732 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to $3,210,000 for the prior period ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was due to a decrease in debt financing with the issuance of convertible notes offset by an increase in equity financing with the issuance of common stock and contributions made by non-controlling interest. To date we have principally financed our operations through the sale of our common 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 convertible debt together with revenue from operations and our newly acquired acquisition of PWT are currently sufficient to fund our operating expenses, we will need to raise additional funds in the future so that we can expand our operations. Therefore, our future operations are dependent on revenue from our acquisition of PWT and our ability to secure additional financing.  Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. 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 over the next nine months, 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 foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of operations.

 

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.
