Company Overview and Plan of Operation
HFactor, Inc. ("HFactor", "Ficaar", the "Company", "we", "us") was incorporated in July 2001 in the State of Georgia under the name OwnerTel, Inc. The name of the Company was changed to Ficaar, Inc. in December of 2007. Effective November 8, 2021, the Company's name was changed to HFactor, Inc.
In August 2012, certain shareholders of the Company representing a majority of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company entered into an agreement and consummated such agreement with Sneaker Charmz, Inc. ("Sneaker Charmz"), a Delaware corporation, whereby 72,020,000 shares of common stock of were assigned by the Shareholders to Sneaker Charmz. Thereafter, Sneaker Charmz, , and David Cicalese consummated a transaction where the shares of common stock of owned by Sneaker Charmz were transferred and assigned to Mr. Cicalese, and Mr. Cicalese's ownership of Sneaker Charmz to the Company. Thus, Sneaker Charmz became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Mr. Cicalese owned 85% of the total issued and outstanding common stock of the Company.
In January 2014, Mr. Cicalese, President, a member of the Board of Directors, and the majority shareholder of the Company, contributed 100 shares, representing all of the issued and outstanding equity of Precious Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, to the Company. Thus, Precious Holdings, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
On November 16, 2014, in exchange for 110,000 shares of our common stock, we acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Standard Canna, Inc. ("Standard"), a Florida corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Standard Cultivation Systems, Inc., a Colorado corporation, and Standard Property Group, Inc., a California corporation. This acquisition was pursuant to a Transfer Agreement by and among the Company and Jonas Zetzel, sole shareholder of Standard.
On July 28, 2015, the Company transferred its ownership in Sneaker Charmz to David Cicalese, our sole officer and director and majority shareholder, in exchange for 42,000,000 shares of our common stock, which reduced Mr. Cicalese's share ownership of the Company to 30,020,000 shares of Company Common Stock. In July 2015, the Board of Directors and shareholders representing a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company appointed Dawn Cames as President of the Company and a member of its Board of Directors. In connection with Ms. Cames appointment, she was issued 1,300,000 shares of Company common stock.

On May 28, 2021, David Cicalese entered into an agreement with Gail Levy whereby Cicalese agreed to sell 29,900,000 shares, representing a majority interest in , to Levy. Acting as the majority shareholder of the Company, Levy then caused to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") between the Company, FCAA Merger Sub I, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary, and HyEdge, Inc. ("Target" or "HyEdge"), a Delaware corporation, wherein Merger Sub and Target would merge, with Target surviving the transaction as a wholly owned subsidiary (the "Merger"). The Merger Agreement was executed on August 6, 2021 and the Merger closed on August 9, 2021. The Merger effected a change in control and was accounted for as a "reverse acquisition" whereby Target is the accounting acquiror for financial statement purposes. Accordingly, for all periods subsequent to the Closing Date, the financial statements of the Company reflect the historical financial statements of HyEdge and any operations of the Company subsequent to the Merger.
Immediately following the Merger, the business of HyEdge became our business.
Overview
The Company operates primarily through HyEdge, its wholly owned subsidiary, manufacturing and distributing HFactor water. HFactor water was created by Gail Levy, HyEdge's founder and CEO. Gail is a successful serial entrepreneur who was looking for a new product that could alleviate the toxic side effects of the cancer chemotherapeutic drugs that had riddled a dear friend. As she researched the properties of hydrogen water, she became more and more enthralled by its potential.
Ms. Levy felt she could honor her friend by making hydrogen water immaculate, effective, and accessible to everyone. Enlivened by this mission, she collected a team of experts to help her engineer a natural process to combine hydrogen with water with zero impurities and optimal impact. In 2017, she launched her flagship product through retail and ecommerce channels.
HFactor was developed and is manufactured by a team of experts in the U.S. and utilizes a patented chemical-free and magnesium-free process to infuse free hydrogen into its water. Its award winning, environmentally friendly ergonomic pouch keeps the hydrogen potent and pure and makes it extremely portable.
HFactor's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits appeal to a wide population across every age group, positioning HFactor to capture significant share in an expanding market. The global market for bottled water is projected to reach $215B by 2025. HFactor has demonstrated significant market traction, with $2.87M sales in 2020, 30M+ followers across Social Media channels.
The quality of our product is achieved through a proprietary manufacturing process. A reverse osmosis filtering system and patent-protected infusion process ensures efficacy, purity, and taste. The efficacy of hydrogen water is backed by over 1,000 published studies demonstrating that hydrogen positively impacts fitness, health, lifestyle, recovery, and wellness.
Our sales strategy involves a diversified, multi-channel approach. Our products are currently on shelves in approximately 5,000+ retail stores across 20 chains in addition to our growing ecommerce presence. Our company prides itself on having a low carbon footprint, primarily due to our eco-conscious packaging and free mail-in recycling program through our partnership with Terracycle.
Mission Statement
To build a brand and corporate culture that, at its essence, exhibits strength in oneself and in one's community. We promote a foundation of "doing well by doing good". This foundation enables HFactor to produce and distribute the highest quality "better for you" consumer products that are conscious to the community, mind, body, and the environment.
The Worldwide Health and Fitness Movement
Consumers are looking for a go-to hydration option that provides additional functional benefits without the sugar or caffeine. The worldwide health and fitness movement is just beginning. More and more people are realizing the importance of what you put in your body and how you maintain it. On a greater scale, consumers are looking for brands that have removed artificial ingredients. This has led to a recent increase in contracts from major retailers and distributors in the US that should result in a significant increase to the Company's retail presence throughout 2021 and 2022.

Maintaining Relevance in a Digital World
HFactor has found success by establishing beneficial relationships with target-aligned influencers and sponsoring a multitude of events and activities. We have built organic relationships with athletes and influencers in the fitness space to drive awareness, education, and ecommerce. To solidify HFactor in the fitness space, we have had a strong presence at many sports and fitness events as participating sponsor, driving product trial and education. We expect that as we continue to cultivate these relationships, brand awareness will increase, and we will be able to capture a significant share in an expanding market.
The Benefits of Hydrogen Infused Water
Water already has Hydrogen, as in H2O, but when those two hydrogen atoms are bound to oxygen, they are not available for any other interactions. When we infuse hydrogen gas into water, active hydrogen molecules are free and accessible to our body. Small and soluble, molecular hydrogen can quickly circulate and speed straight into the power centers of our cells. This interaction has been shown to increase athletic performance, reduce inflammation from exercise, and increase powerful antioxidants in our body. Our Reverse Osmosis filtering system ensures the purity and taste of our water, and our patented infusion process allows us to deliver PURE hydrogen and PURE water, and nothing else.
Our Products
The pouch. The pouch is unique, convenient to hold and carry, and plays a significant role in helping you reap all the benefits Hydrogen has to offer. The eco-conscious award-winning design and material was created in an effort to contain the additional Hydrogen in the water. When you add hydrogen to water, it tries to and usually does escape quite easily through more traditional materials such as plastic or glass Our pouch keeps the extra Hydrogen molecules contained, and does so with a lower carbon footprint.

The can. Slim, sleek, and eye-catching, the HFactor cans are finished with a matte white color so the blues and text information stand out on the shelf. Functionally, the aluminum material of the can is also very effective at containing the extra Hydrogen molecules. HFactor was the pioneer in delivering still water in a recyclable aluminum can.

More Flavors. More Sizes. More Choices. Recent innovations include a larger, 20-ounce pouch, in addition to different flavors of HFactor water such as Watermelon, Blood Orange, Honeydew, and Tart Cherry. While utilizing natural flavors with no sugar or calories these options offer consumers a great-tasting beverage that still provides the health benefits of our standard hydrogen-infused water.
Our Business Plan
HFactor's demonstrated efficacy, innovative packaging, and low carbon footprint has propelled traction since our launch in May 2017. Demand for multi-purpose functional beverages and a strong multi-channel sales strategy is driving HFactor's national reach. HFactor is a leader in the newly defined category of Functional Beverages and is well positioned as a business to maintain its competitive advantage in a new and growing space.
Our business plan focuses on four key areas: (1) regional focus; (2) retailer focus; (3) driving volume; and (4) controlling spending. We plan to focus on key regions of the US where our market traction is already established, including the Northeast, West Coast, Texas, and Florida. We also plan to aggressively cultivate the relationships we have with large retailers, including Walmart, Sprouts, Albertsons, Stop & Shop, and others. As we work towards these goals, we will strive to drive volume without losing sight of profitability as our main goal. We believe that as we focus on these four areas at once, we will be able to achieve sustained growth of the Company without compromising our profitability or the results of our operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $250,854 in cash to fund its operations. The Company reported working capital deficit of $4,855,836 at December 31, 2021 as compared to a working capital deficit of $66,694 at December 31, 2020, representing an increase in working capital deficit by $4,789,142.
The Company does not believe its current cash balance will be sufficient to allow the Company to fund its planned operating activities for the next twelve months. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations or substantially curtail some of its planned activities. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and classification of liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
As the Company continues to incur losses, achieving profitability is dependent on achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company's cost structure. The Company may never achieve profitability, and unless and until it does, the Company will continue to need to raise additional capital. Management intends to fund future operations through additional private or public equity offering and may seek additional capital through arrangements with strategic partners of from other sources. There can be no assurances, however, that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. Any equity financing may be dilutive to existing shareholders.
Operating Activities:
For the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash flow used by operating activities was $(826,956) compared to -$0- for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decreases in cash flow used for operating activities for both periods were primarily due to increases in operating expenditures.
Investing and Financing Activities:
Net cash flows provided by (used) in investing and financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $226,190 in net repayments from borrowings, offset with $650,000 from sales of common stock shares and $654,000 in proceeds from borrowings compared to $-0- for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resource Measures:
The Company’s primary source of liquidity has been from convertible loans and third party and related party loans.
Going Concern
The Company has experienced a net loss and had an accumulated deficit of $4,598,617 as of December 21, 2021. The success of our business plan during the next 12 months and beyond will be contingent upon generating sufficient revenue to cover our costs of operations and/or upon obtaining additional financing.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors of HFactor Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of HFactor Inc. ( the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flow, for the periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has not established a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company does not have sufficient working capital and cash resources to meet its planned business objectives. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan regarding these matters is also described in Note 2 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
History
HFactor, Inc. formerly known as Ficaar, Inc. (the “Company” or “Ficaar” or “HFactor”) was incorporated in July 2001 under the name OwnerTel, Inc. The name of the Company was changed to Ficaar, Inc. in December of 2007 and to HFactor, Inc. on November 8, 2021.
On May 28, 2021, David Cicalese (“Cicalese”), an officer and Board member of Ficaar entered into an agreement with Gail Levy whereby Cicalese agreed to sell 29,900,000 shares, representing a majority interest in Ficaar, to Levy. Acting as the majority shareholder of the Company, Levy then caused Ficaar to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) between the Company, FCAA Merger Sub I, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Ficaar, and HyEdge, Inc. (“Target” or “HyEdge”), a Delaware corporation, wherein Merger Sub and Target would merge, with Target surviving the transaction as a wholly owned subsidiary of Ficaar (the “Merger”). The Merger Agreement was executed on August 6, 2021 and the Merger closed on August 9, 2021. The Merger effected a change in control and was accounted for as a "reverse acquisition" whereby Target is the accounting acquiror for financial statement purposes. Accordingly, for all periods subsequent to the Closing Date, the financial statements of the Company reflect the historical financial statements of HyEdge and any operations of the Company subsequent to the Merger.
Immediately following the Merger, the business of HyEdge became the business of the Company.
In connection with the reverse acquisition and recapitalization, all share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated. Since the transaction is considered a reverse acquisition and recapitalization, accounting guidance does not apply for purposes of presenting pro-forma financial information.
On September 2, 2021 the Company filed an amendment in its articles of incorporation to change its name to HFactor Inc. The Company was able to secure an OTC Bulletin Board symbol HWTR from Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
Present Operations
The Company as a result of the Merger, changed its business focus from engaging in the cannabis industry to presently being a holding company that operates entirely through its subsidiary, HyEdge, Inc., a Delaware Corporation. The Company engages in the manufacturing, marketing, distribution and selling of HFactor® hydrogen infused drinking water.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
i
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, and do not reflect any adjustments related to the uncertainty surrounding the Company’s recurring losses, working capital deficiency or accumulated deficit.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $ i 250,854 in cash to fund its operations. The Company does not believe its current cash balance will be sufficient to allow the Company to fund its planned operating activities for the next twelve months. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. These principal factors raise substantial doubt concerning the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management has financed the Company’s operations principally through government loans, third party loans and from related parties.
It is the Company’s intent to continue to raise funds in this manner and to raise funds through the sale of equity securities until the Company attains profitability. However, management cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
/ i
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company held a cash balance of $ i 250,854 and $ - i 0-, respectively.
/ i
Revenue from sales of the Company’s products is recorded when title and risk of loss have passed to the buyer and criteria for revenue recognition is met. The Company sells its products to individual consumers and resellers upon receipt of a written order. The Company has a limited return policy for defective items that requires that buyers give the Company notice within 30 days after receipt of the products. Due to the immaterial quantities of returned products historically, for the periods ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company recognized revenue at the time of delivery without providing any reserve.
i
Accounts receivable represents amounts due from the Company’s customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management utilizes a specific customer identification methodology. Management also considers historical losses adjusted for current market conditions and the customers’ financial condition and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts were i not material.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
/ i
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market value. The stated cost is comprised of finished goods of HFactor® hydrogen infused drinking water, its related raw material and spare parts for machinery. Reserves, if necessary, are recorded to reduce inventory to market value based on assumptions about consumer demand, current inventory levels and product life cycles for the various inventory items. These assumptions are evaluated annually and are based on the Company’s business plan and from feedback from customers and the product development team. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the inventory reserves were i not material.
/ i
Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is generally i three to five years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for property betterments and renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in other income or expense.
The Company will periodically evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful lives of fixed assets or whether the remaining balance of fixed assets should be evaluated for possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the fixed assets in measuring their recoverability.
/ i
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $ i 104,762 and $ - i 0-, respectively.
/ i
Costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling are included in costs of revenues. Shipping and handling costs for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $ i 529,388 and $ - i 0-, respectively.
/ i
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period, which includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
ASC 740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. This first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
In June, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” - An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 and codified under ASC 740. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This interpretation prescribed a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax provision taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In addition, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transition.
Based on its evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements. The Company's evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2017 through 2021, The Company does not expect any changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the current year.
The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits is to record such expenses as a component of current income tax expense. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
i
The preparation of consolidated 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 and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
i
Research and Development Expense
Costs related to research and development, which primarily consists of consulting for logo and packaging design, are charged to expense as incurred. The Company has i not incurred any research and development for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
/ i
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earning per Share, formerly Statement of Accounting Standards SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) before and after discontinued operations, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period, including contingently issuable shares where the contingency has been resolved. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, outstanding stock options, warrants, and shares issuable upon conversion of convertible notes were anti-dilutive because of net losses, and, as such, their effect has not been included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share.

The Company computes loss per common share, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic income or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the issuance of common shares, if dilutive, that could result from the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants. No potential dilutive common shares are included in the computation of any diluted per share amount when a loss is reported.

The Company applies the fair value method of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, in accounting for its stock-based compensation. These standards state that compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period, if any. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of its stock, stock option and warrant issuance. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price, as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include the Company’s expected stock price, volatility over the term of the awards, actual employee exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) establishes a framework for all fair value measurements and expands disclosures related to fair value measurement and developments. ASC 820 defines fair value 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 820 requires that assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Level 1 — Quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets or observable inputs;
Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data; and
Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data.
The carrying amounts of cash, loan receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities, and accrued interest payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.
The fair value of the Company’s debt approximated the carrying value of the Company's debt as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Factors that the Company considered when estimating the fair value of its debt included market conditions, liquidity levels in the private placement market, variability in pricing from multiple lenders and term of debt.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements during 2021 and 2020 and do not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which will require lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, which permits an entity to elect an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate land easements that exist or expire before the Company's adoption of Topic 842 and that were not previously accounted for as leases under Topic 840. On May 20, 2020, the FASB voted to delay implementing the new lease standard for non-public organizations, making their new effective date the fiscal year starting after Dec. 15, 2021. The Company intends to elect this transition provision.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements”, which will improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements, and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (for “emerging growth company” beginning after December 15, 2020). The Company has adopted this standard effective from January 1, 2021, and the adoption of this standard did not have any significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The FASB recently issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470- 20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, to reduce complexity in applying GAAP to certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The guidance in ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, which requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock. The guidance in ASC 470-20 applies to convertible instruments for which the embedded conversion features are not required to be bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as derivatives. In addition, the amendments revise the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification. These amendments are expected to result in more freestanding financial instruments qualifying for equity classification (and, therefore, not accounted for as derivatives), as well as fewer embedded features requiring separate accounting from the host contract. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 further revise the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted (for “emerging growth company” beginning after December 15, 2023). The Company will be evaluating the impact this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Update ASU 2021-10- Government Assistance (Topic 832)
In November 2021, the FASB issued guidance which requires business entities to disclose information about certain government assistance they receive. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities within their scope for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early application of the amendments is permitted. An entity should apply the amendments in this Update either (1) prospectively to all transactions within the scope of the amendments that are reflected in financial statements at the date of initial application and new transactions that are entered into after the date of initial application or (2) retrospectively to those transactions. We do not expect adoption of this standard to result in additional disclosures within our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan
On April 20th, 2020, the Company executed a note (the “PPP Note”) for the benefit of Stone Bank, N.A. (the “Lender”) in the aggregate amount of $ i 112,715 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). The PPP is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). The loan is unsecured. The interest rate of the loan is i 1% per annum and accrues on the unpaid principal balance computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. Commencing six months after the effective date of the PPP Note, the Company is required to pay the Lender equal monthly payments of principal and interest of $ i 9,443.87, beginning (13) months from the month this Note is dated as required to fully amortize any unforgiven principal balance of the loan by the two-year anniversary of the effective date of the PPP Note (the “Maturity Date”). The Maturity Date can be extended to five years if mutually agreed upon by both the Lender and the Company. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the loan granted under the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs and any payments of mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. Recent modifications to the PPP by the U.S. Treasury and Congress have extended the time period for loan forgiveness beyond the original eight-week period, making it possible for the Company to apply for forgiveness of its PPP loan. On April 7, 2021, the Company received Notice and Approval for forgiveness of payment of $ i 112,715 and $ i 1,083 in interest of this Note and, accordingly reflected as a Gain on Forgiveness of Debt in the accompanying financial statements.
Economic Injury Disaster Loan
On June 2, 2020, the Company executed a secured loan with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program in the amount of $ i 150,000. The loan is secured by all tangible and intangible assets of the Company and payable over 30 years at an interest rate of i 3.75 % per annum. Installment payments, including principal and interest, totaling $ i 731.00 monthly, will begin thirty (30) months from the date of the Note, with first payments applied to accumulated accrued interest. As part of the loan, the Company also received an advance of $ i 10,000 from the SBA. While the SBA refers to this program as an advance, it was written into law as a grant. This means that the amount given through this program does not need to be repaid.

NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
The Company analyzed the notes payable – related parties and convertible notes payable referred to in Notes 6 and 7 based on the provisions of ASC 815-15 and determined that the conversion options of the convertible notes qualify as embedded derivatives and required the recognition of derivative liabilities.
For the derivative instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then revalued at each reporting date and any resulting gain or loss is recognized as a current period charge to the consolidated statements of operations. The Company estimates the fair value of the embedded derivatives using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model that combines expected cash outflows with market-based assumptions regarding risk-adjusted yields, stock price volatility, probability of a change of control and the trading information of our common stock into which the notes are convertible, as appropriate to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates and the value is reassessed at the end of each reporting period, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815-15.
The aggregate fair value of derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 amounted to $ i 793,997 and $ - i 0-, respectively. The assets or liability’s fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

COVID-19
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, and has since reached multiple other countries, including the United States, resulting in government-imposed quarantines, travel restrictions and other public health safety measures in affected countries. The various precautionary measures taken by many governmental authorities around the world in order to limit the spread of COVID-19has had, and could continue to have, an adverse effect on the global markets and its economy, including on the availability and pricing of employees and resources, and other aspects of the global economy. Although the Company cannot predict the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on its business or results of operations in future periods, to date, the Company’s core water product applications have been able to support the increased demand the Company has experienced. On April 20, 2020, to help ensure adequate liquidity in light of the uncertainties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company entered into a promissory note with an aggregate principal amount of $112,715 (the “Note”) in favor of Stone Bank, N.A., as lender (the “Lender”) under the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program under the recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). On April 7, 2021, the Note was fully forgiven by the SBA and the Lender in compliance with the provisions of the CARES Act (see Note 5).
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak as a global health emergency. This resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus, including the closure of certain non-essential businesses
During the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively, the pandemic did not have a material impact on the Company’s operations. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company did not observe any material impairment of its assets or a significant change in the fair value of assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has taken steps to minimize the potential impact of the pandemic including safety measures with respect to personal protective equipment, the reduction in travel and the implementation of a virtual office including regular video conference meetings and participation in virtual customer meetings and other virtual events.

The Company uses the liability method, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting purposes. During the current period, the Company incurred a net loss and therefore has no tax liability.
The Company has U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryovers (“NOL’s”) of approximately $ i 15 million and $ i 12 million at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which begin to expire in i 2036. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code limits the amount of NOL’s available to offset future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs.
At December 31, 2021, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $ i 11 million for federal and $ i 12 million for state tax purposes. The significant components of deferred income tax assets at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows:

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
The amount taken into income as deferred income tax assets must reflect that portion of the income tax loss carry forwards that is more-likely-than-not to be realized from future operations. The Company has chosen to provide a full valuation allowance against all available income tax loss carry forwards. The Company has recognized a valuation allowance for the deferred income tax asset since the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in future years. The valuation allowance is reviewed annually. When circumstances change and which cause a change in management’s judgment about the realizability of deferred income tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is generally reflected in current income.
As of December 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has i no recognized income tax benefits. The Company’s policy for classifying interest and penalties associated with unrecognized income tax benefits is to include such items as tax expense. No interest or penalties have been recorded during the period ended December 31, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did i not have any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions.

Board of Directors

C:
| C: 13 |
Committees of the Board of Directors
We may establish an audit committee, compensation committee, a nominating and governance committee and other committees to our Board of Directors in the future, but have not done so as of the date of this Offering Circular. Until such committees are established, matters that would otherwise be addressed by such committees will be acted upon by the Board of Directors.
Director Compensation
The Company currently does not pay any cash compensation to members of its board of directors for their services as directors of the Company. However, the Company reimburses its directors for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at meetings of the board of directors. The Company may determine to grant to each new director, at the time of such director's appointment, an option to purchase its common shares. In the future, the Company may also elect to offer directors cash compensation.
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Our Bylaws limit the liability of directors and officers of the Company to the maximum extent permitted by Georgia law. The Bylaws state that the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or an officer of the Company or such director or officer is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, member, manager, trustee, employee or agent of another company or of a partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
The Company believes that indemnification under our Bylaws covers at least negligence and gross negligence on the part of indemnified parties. The Company also may secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in connection with their services to us, regardless of whether our Bylaws permit such indemnification.
The Company may also enter into separate indemnification agreements with its directors and officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in our Bylaws. These agreements, among other things, may provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers for certain expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or executive officer in any action or proceeding arising out of such person's services as one of our directors or officers, or rendering services at our request, to any of its subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is required or permitted, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.
For additional information on indemnification and limitations on liability of our directors and officers, please review the Company's Bylaws, which are attached to this Offering Circular.

Our board of directors’ policy is to pre-approve all audit services and all non-audit services that our independent registered public accounting firm is permitted to perform for us under applicable federal securities regulations. As permitted by the applicable regulations, our board of directors’ policy utilizes a combination of specific pre-approval on a case-by-case basis of individual engagements of the independent registered public accounting firm.
All engagements of the independent registered public accounting firm to perform any audit services and non-audit services since that date have been pre-approved by our board of directors in accordance with the pre-approval policy. The policy has not been waived in any instance. All engagements of the independent registered public accounting firm to perform any audit services and non-audit services prior to the date the pre-approval policy was implemented were approved by our board of directors in accordance with its normal functions.
