PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

 

IIOT-OXYS, INC.

 

109,000,000 Shares of Common Stock

 

The selling stockholder identified in this Prospectus may offer an indeterminate number of shares of its common stock, which will consist of up to 109,000,000 shares of common stock to be sold by GHS Investments LLC (“GHS”) pursuant to an Equity Financing Agreement (the “Equity Financing Agreement”) dated November 1, 2021. As of the date hereof, 149,876,099shares (including 1,800,000 commitment shares) have been sold to GHS under the Equity Financing Agreement. If issued presently, the additional 109,000,000 shares of common stock registered for resale by GHS, all of which have yet to be issued, would represent 22.30% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of February 8, 2023. Additionally, the additional 109,000,000 shares of our common stock registered for resale herein, all of which have yet to be issued, would represent approximately 23.82% of the Company’s public float (all current free-trading shares not held by affiliates).

 

The selling stockholder may sell all or a portion of the shares being offered pursuant to this Prospectus at fixed prices and prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices, or at negotiated prices. See the section of this Prospectus entitled “Plan of Distribution” for additional information.

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock by GHS. We will sell shares to GHS at a price equal to 90% of the lowest volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock during the ten consecutive trading day period preceding the date on which we deliver a put notice to GHS (the “Purchase Price”). There will be a minimum of ten trading days between put notices.

 

GHS will be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

 

Our common stock is traded on OTC Markets under the symbol “ITOX.” On February 8, 2023, the reported closing price for our common stock was $0.0056 per share.

 

This offering is highly speculative, and these securities involve a high degree of risk and should be considered only by persons who can afford the loss of their entire investment. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

The date of this Prospectus is February 13, 2023.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus and does not contain all of the information that you should consider in making your investment decision. Before investing in our common stock, you should carefully read this entire Prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes and the information set forth under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in each case included elsewhere in this Prospectus.

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company” in this Prospectus mean IIOT-OXYS, Inc. on a consolidated basis with its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

 

IIOT-OXYS, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and OXYS, were originally established for the purposes of designing, building, testing, and selling Edge Computing systems for the Industrial Internet. Both companies were, and presently are, early stage technology startups that are largely pre-revenue in their development phase. HereLab is also an early-stage technology development company. The Company received its first revenues in the last quarter of 2017, has continued to realize revenues in 2022, and expects to realize revenue growth in 2023 due to its business development pipeline.

 

We develop hardware, software and algorithms that monitor, measure and predict conditions for energy, structural, agricultural and medical applications. We use domain-specific Artificial Intelligence to solve industrial and environmental challenges. Our engineered solutions focus on common sense approaches to machine learning, algorithm development and hardware and software products.

 

We design a system of hardware and software, assemble, install, monitor data and apply our algorithms to help provide the customer insights.

 

We use off the shelf components, with reconfigurable hardware architecture that adapts to a wide range of customer needs and applications. We use open-source software tools, while still creating proprietary content for customers, thereby reducing software development time and cost. The software works with the hardware to collect data from the equipment or structure that is being monitored.

 

We focus on developing insights. We develop algorithms that help our customers create insights from vast data streams. The data collected is analyzed and reports are created for the customer. From these insights, the customer can act to improve their process, product or structure.

OUR SOLUTIONS ACHIEVE TWO OBJECTIVES

 

ADD VALUE

 

  · We show clear path to improved asset reliability, machine uptime, machine utilization, energy consumption, and quality.

 

  · We provide advanced algorithms and insights as a service.

 

RISK MINIMIZATION

 

  · We use simple measurements which are minimally invasive.

 

  · We do not interfere with command and control of critical equipment.

 

  · We do not interfere with machine control networks.

 

HOW WE DO IT

 

Our location in Cambridge, Massachusetts is ideal since market-leading Biotech, Medtech, and Pharma multinational firms have offices, manufacturing plants and/ or R&D centers in Cambridge or the Greater Boston area, which gives us easier access to potential sales which, in turn, lowers our cost of sales. Additionally, we continue to gain traction in the structural health monitoring, indoor air quality, and smart manufacturing industries. We, therefore, have a range of opportunities as we continue to expand our customer base.

 

Our goals are to augment visual bridge inspection with instrumentation and predictive algorithms for structural health monitoring; improve indoor air quality with our partner’s proprietary sensors and our predictive analytics; and help Biotech, Pharma, and Medical Device companies realize the next wave of performance, productivity, and quality gains for their organizations, through our Smart Manufacturing/Industry 4.0 technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning algorithms.

 

We have a unique value proposition in a fast-growing worldwide multi-billion USD market, and have positioned our business with strategic partners for accelerated growth. We are therefore well-poised for growth in 2023 and beyond, as we execute our plans and acquire additional customers.

 

WHAT MARKETS WE SERVE

 

SMART MANUFACTURING – MEDICAL DEVICES, BIOTECH, AND PHARMACEUTICAL SUPPLY CHAIN

 

We help our customers maintain machine uptime and maximize operational efficiency. We also enable then to do energy monitoring, predictive maintenance that anticipates problems before they happen, and improve part and process quality. We are on the operations side, not the patient-facing side. In this market vertical, our customers must provide high-quality products that must also pass rigorous review by governing bodies such as the FDA. Here again, we focus on machine uptime, operational efficiency, and predictive maintenance to avoid unplanned downtime.

 

SMART INFRASTRUCTURE

 

For bridges and other civil infrastructure, local, state and federal agencies have limited resources. We help our clients prioritize how to spend limited funds by addressing those fixes which need to be made first.

 

 

 

 2 
 

 

SMART BUILDINGS

 

Our Indoor Air Quality partner provides sensor technology that is augmented by our AI and Machine Learning algorithms. These systems allow commerical landlords to ensure safe healthy air quality for their properties and tenants.

 

OUR UNIQUE VALUE PROPOSITION

 

EDGE COMPUTING AS A COMPLIMENT TO CLOUD COMPUTING

 

Within the Internet of Things (“IoT”) and Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”), most companies right now are adopting an approach which sends all sensor data to the cloud for processing. We specialize in edge computing, where the data processing is done locally right where the data is collected. We also have advanced cloud-based algorithms that implement various machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms.

 

ADVANCED ALGORITHMS

 

We have sought to differentiate from our competitors by developing advanced algorithms on our own and in collaboration with strategic partners. These algorithms are an essential part of the edge computing strategy that convert raw data into actionable knowledge right where the data is collected without having to send the data to the cloud first.

 

RECONFIGURABLE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE

 

Instead of focusing on creating tools, we use open-source tools to create proprietary content.

 

Company Information and History

 

We were incorporated in the State of New Jersey on October 1, 2003 under the name of Creative Beauty Supply of New Jersey Corporation, and subsequently changed our name to Gotham Capital Holdings, Inc. on May 18, 2015. We commenced operations in the beauty supply industry as of January 1, 2004. On November 30, 2007, our Board of Directors approved a plan to dispose of our wholesale and retail beauty supply business. From January 1, 2009 until July 28, 2017, we had no operations and were a shell company.

 

On March 16, 2017, our Board of Directors adopted resolutions, which were approved by shareholders holding a majority of our outstanding shares, to change our name to “IIOT-OXYS, Inc.”, to authorize a change of domicile from New Jersey to Nevada, to authorize a 2017 Stock Awards Plan, and to approve the Securities Exchange Agreement (the “OXYS SEA”) between the Company and OXYS Corporation (“OXYS”), a Nevada corporation incorporated on August 4, 2016.

  

Under the terms of the OXYS SEA we acquired 100% of the issued voting shares of OXYS in exchange for 34,687,244 shares of our Common Stock. We also cancelled 1,500,000 outstanding shares of our Common Stock and changed our management to Mr. DiBiase who also served in management of OXYS. Also, one of our principal shareholders entered into a consulting agreement with OXYS to provide consulting services during the transition. The OXYS SEA was effective on July 28, 2017, and our name was changed to “IIOT-OXYS, Inc.” at that time. Effective October 26, 2017, our domicile was changed from New Jersey to Nevada.

On December 14, 2017, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “HereLab SEA”) with HereLab, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HereLab”), and HereLab’s two shareholders pursuant to which we would acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of HereLab in exchange for the issuance of 1,650,000 shares of our Common Stock, on a pro rata basis, to HereLab’s two shareholders. The closing of the transaction occurred on January 11, 2018 and HereLab became our wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

At the present time, we have two, wholly-owned subsidiaries which are OXYS Corporation and HereLab, Inc., through which our operations are conducted.

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 705 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, MA 02141. Our telephone number is (401) 307-3092. Our common stock is listed on the OTC Markets under the symbol “ITOX.”

 

Our internet website address is www.oxyscorp.com.

 

Employees

 

As of February 8, 2023, we have one employee on a W-2, not including the CEO (and Interim CTO) and Interim CFO (and COO). Besides our CEO and Interim CFO, one employee is full.

 

At the present time, except for the funding received from Cambridge MedSpace LLC and Vidhyadhar Mitta in the form of secured notes, there are no conflicts of interest between the Company and any of our officers and directors. This was determined as follows: i) none of their outside activities are soliciting business from our customers or business contacts; ii) they are not soliciting our investors to invest in other ventures; and iii) they are not soliciting our contract employees to leave us and join other efforts. At present, all our business services are provided by outside contractors.

 

GHS Equity Financing Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement

 

On November 1, 2021, we entered into the Equity Financing Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”) with GHS. Under the terms of the Equity Financing Agreement, GHS agreed to provide the Company with up to $2,500,000 upon effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).

 

Following effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company shall have the discretion to deliver puts (each, a “Put”) to GHS and GHS will be obligated to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) based on the investment amount specified in each Put notice. The maximum amount that the Company shall be entitled to put to GHS in each Put notice shall not be less than $10,000 nor exceed $500,000 and any single drawdown may not exceed 200% of the average daily trading dollar volume of the Company’s Common Stock during the ten trading days preceding the Put. Pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement, GHS and its affiliates will not be permitted to purchase shares, and the Company may not request Puts from GHS, that would result in GHS’s beneficial ownership equaling more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. The price of each share in a Put shall be equal to 90% of the Purchase Price. There will be a minimum of ten trading days between Puts. Puts may be delivered by the Company to GHS until (i) the earlier of twenty-four (24) months after the date of the Equity Financing Agreement, (ii) the date on which GHS has purchased an aggregate of $2,500,000 worth of Common Stock under the terms of the Equity Financing Agreement; or (iii) upon mutual termination of the Equity Financing Agreement. At the end of the Pricing Period (as defined in the Equity Financing Agreement), the Purchase Price will be established and an amount of shares equaling 110% of the Put Amount (the “Put Shares”) will be delivered to GHS’s broker for a particular Put. In accordance with the Equity Financing Agreement, the Company issued to GHS 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock in order to offset transaction costs (the “Commitment Shares”).

The Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Company shall (i) use its best efforts to file with the Commission the Registration Statement within 45 days of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement; and (ii) use reasonable commercial efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission within 30 days after the date the Registration Statement is filed with the Commission, but in no event more than 90 days after the Registration Statement is filed.

RISK FACTORS

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

A pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease in the markets in which we operate or that otherwise impacts our facilities or suppliers could adversely impact our business.

 

If a pandemic, epidemic, or outbreak of an infectious disease including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, or other public health crisis were to affect our markets or facilities, our business could be adversely affected. Consequences of the coronavirus outbreak are resulting in disruptions in or restrictions on our ability to travel. If such an infectious disease broke out at our office, facilities or work sites, our operations may be affected significantly, our productivity may be affected, our ability to complete projects in accordance with our contractual obligations may be affected, and we may incur increased labor and materials costs. If the customers with which we contract are affected by an outbreak of infectious disease, service work may be delayed or cancelled, and we may incur increased labor and materials costs. If our subcontractors with whom we work were affected by an outbreak of infectious disease, our labor supply may be affected and we may incur increased labor costs. In addition, we may experience difficulties with certain suppliers or with vendors in their supply chains, and our business could be affected if we become unable to procure essential equipment, supplies or services in adequate quantities and at acceptable prices. Further, infectious outbreak may cause disruption to the U.S. economy, or the local economies of the markets in which we operate, cause shortages of materials, increase costs associated with obtaining materials, affect job growth and consumer confidence, or cause economic changes that we cannot anticipate. Overall, the potential impact of a pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease with respect to our market or our facilities is difficult to predict and could adversely impact our business. In response to the COVID-19 situation, federal, state and local governments (or other governments or bodies) are considering placing, or have placed, restrictions on travel and conducting or operating business activities. At this time those restrictions are very fluid and evolving. We have been and will continue to be impacted by those restrictions. Given that the type, degree and length of such restrictions are not known at this time, we cannot predict the overall impact of such restrictions on us, our customers, our subcontractors and supply chain, others that we work with or the overall economic environment. As such, the impact these restrictions may have on our financial position, operating results and liquidity cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but the impact may be material. In addition, due to the speed with which the COVID-19 situation is developing and evolving, there is uncertainty around its ultimate impact on public health, business operations and the overall economy; therefore, the negative impact on our financial position, operating results and liquidity cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but the impact may be material.

 

Escalating global tensions, including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, could negatively impact us.

 

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine could lead to disruption, instability and volatility in global markets and industries that could negatively impact our operations. The U.S. government and other governments in jurisdictions in which we operate have imposed severe sanctions and export controls against Russia and Russian interests and threatened additional sanctions and controls. The impact of these measures, as well as potential responses to them by Russia, is currently unknown and they could adversely affect our business, partners or customers.

 

Because of our continued losses, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.

 

Our financial statements as of and for the nine-months ended September 30, 2022 and the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern. Our significant cumulative losses from operations as of September 30, 2022, raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If the going-concern assumption were not appropriate for our financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of the assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used. Since September 30, 2022, we have continued to experience losses from operations. We have continued to fund operations primarily through the sales of equity securities. Nevertheless, we will require additional funding to complete much of our planned operations. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit (i.e. through partnerships such as our current partnerships with Aingura and Aretas) and/or obtain necessary additional funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities. Except for potential proceeds from the sale of equity in offerings by us and minimal revenues, we have no other source for additional funding. Our continued net operating losses and stockholders’ deficiency increase the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.

We have debt which is secured by all our assets. If there is an occurrence of an uncured event of default, the lenders can foreclose on all our assets, which would make any stock in the Company worthless.

 

We have entered into several secured loan transactions with investors (as disclosed herein), pursuant to which the outstanding debt was secured by all our assets. In the event we are unable to make payments, when due, on our secured debt, the lenders may foreclose on all our assets. In the event the lenders foreclose on our assets, any stock in the Company would have no value. Our ability to make payments on secured debt, when due, will depend upon our ability to make profit from operations and to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings. At the moment, we have no funding commitments that have not been previously disclosed, and we may not obtain any in the future.

 

Our future success is dependent upon the success of partnerships with other similarly-situated entities.

 

Effective March 18, 2020, we entered into the Collaboration Agreement with Aingura IIoT, S.L. (“Aingura”) pursuant to which Aingura appointed and authorized us to act as the sales network of Aingura’s services and products. Aingura delivers engineered, high-tech solutions by implementing Smart Factory Operational Architectures. The agreement has an initial term of one year from the execution date. Unless terminated prior, the agreement automatically renews for successive annual periods, unless either party notifies the other in writing of its express intention not to renew the agreement at least two months prior to the date of termination of the agreement. There are restrictive provisions in the agreement that may prevent us from pursuing other business opportunities during the term of the agreement. In addition, if we are unable to make sales under the agreement, we will not collect any sales commissions and our business could fail.

 

On October 3, 2022, we entered into an Agency Agreement with Aretas Sensor Networks Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“Aretas”), pursuant to which Aretas appointed and authorized us to act as a sales representative for Aretas’ products. Aretas combines IoT sensor technology, cloud-based platform, and machine learning/ AI for an end-to-end solution to ingest, collect, display, and analyze IoT data to allow companies to make better decisions. The agreement has an initial term of one year from the execution date. Unless terminated prior, the agreement automatically renews for successive annual periods, unless either party notifies the other in writing of its express intention not to renew the agreement at least two months prior to the date of termination of the agreement. If we are unable to make sales under the agreement, we will not collect any sales commissions and our business could fail.

 

On December 28, 2022, we entered a non-exclusive Distributor Agreement with Denmark based ElastiSense ApS ("ElastiSense") for their proprietary sensor technology. ElastiSense's sensor technology is ideal for structural health monitoring, off-road machinery, factory automation and many other sensing purposes. If we are unable to make distributions under the agreement, we will not collect any revenues and our business could fail.

 

We have been issued an unsecured promissory note by Aretas. In the event Aretas defaults on the note, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

On April 4, 2022 we were issued a 10% Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $200,000 by Aretas. The purchase price of the note was $192,500 with a discount of $7,500. The Note matures on April 4, 2024 at which time we have the option to either receive the principal amount or shares of Aretas representing 3.23% of the fully-diluted share capital of Aretas. Interest payments are to be made under the Note. In the event that Aretas defaults on the Note, it could have an adverse material effect on our business.

 

Most of our sales have historically come from a small number of customers and a reduction in demand or loss of one or more of our significant customers would adversely affect our business.

 

Historically, we have been dependent on a small number of direct customers for most of our business, revenue and results of operations. In the past, we had contracts with customers in the civil infrastructure sector, and the pharmaceutical sector. Our prior customers constituted a state government and a large pharmaceutical company. Historically, those customers generated all our revenue. We expect to continue to experience significant customer concentration in future periods.

 

This customer concentration increases the risk of quarterly fluctuations in our operating results and sensitivity to any material, adverse developments experienced by our significant customers. In the past, although our relationships with our major customers was good, we generally did not have long-term contracts with any of them, which is typical of our industry. In the future, the loss of, or any substantial reduction in sales to, any of our major direct or end customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our operating subsidiaries have limited operating history and have generated very limited revenues thus far.

 

The limited operating history of OXYS and HereLab in the IIoT field, makes evaluating our business and future prospects difficult. OXYS was incorporated on August 4, 2016 and HereLab was incorporated on February 27, 2017. We have not yet generated substantial income from OXYS or HereLab’s operations and we only anticipate doing so if we are able to successfully implement our business plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we generated $39,503 in sales from business operations, none of which was generated from HereLab in 2019 through the present, as we have focused solely on OXYS from 2019 through the present and plan on continuing to do so in 2023. We intend in the longer term to derive further revenues from partnerships, consulting services, product sales, and software licensing. Development of our services, products, and software will require significant investment prior to commercial introduction, and we may never be able to successfully develop or commercialize the services, products, or software in a material way.

 

We will require additional funding to develop and commercialize our services, products, and software. If we are unable to secure additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be forced to modify our current business plan or to curtail or cease our planned operations.

 

We anticipate incurring significant operating losses and using significant funds for product development and operating activities. Our existing cash resources are insufficient to finance even our immediate operations. Accordingly, we will need to secure additional sources of capital to develop our business and product candidates, as planned. We intend to seek substantial additional financing through public and/or private financing, which may include equity and/or debt financings, and through other arrangements, including collaborative arrangements. As part of such efforts, we may seek loans from certain of our executive officers, directors and/or current shareholders.

 

If we are unable to secure additional financing in the near term, we may be forced to:

 

  · curtail or abandon our existing business plans;

 

  · default on any debt obligations;

 

  · file for bankruptcy;

 

  · seek to sell some or all our assets; and/or

 

  · cease our operations.

 

If we are forced to take any of these steps our Common Stock may be worthless.

 

Any future financing may result in ownership dilution to our existing shareholders and may grant rights to investors more favorable than the rights currently held by our existing shareholders.

 

If we raise additional capital by issuing equity, equity-related or convertible securities, the economic, voting and other rights of our existing shareholders may be diluted, and those newly-issued securities may be issued at prices that are at a significant discount to current and/or then prevailing market prices. In addition, any such newly issued securities may have rights superior to those of our common stock. If we obtain additional capital through collaborative arrangements, we may be required to relinquish greater rights to our technologies or product candidates than we might otherwise have or become subject to restrictive covenants that may affect our business.

Uncertain global economic conditions could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

Our operations and performance are sensitive to fluctuations in general economic conditions, both in the U.S. and globally. The ongoing uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic, volatile currency markets, the anticipated weakness in all sectors, alone or in combination, may continue to have a material adverse effect on our net sales and the financial results of our operations. In addition, we remain concerned about the geopolitical and fiscal instability in the Middle East and some emerging markets as well as the continued volatility of the equity markets. The upcoming U.S. election may also create additional domestic and global economic uncertainty. These factors could have a material adverse effect on the spending patterns of businesses including our current and potential customers which could have a material adverse effect on our net sales and our results of operations. Other factors that could adversely influence demand for our products include unemployment, labor and healthcare costs, access to credit, consumer and business confidence, and other macroeconomic factors that could have a negative impact on capital investment and spending behavior.

 

We are subject to various risks associated with international operations and foreign economies.

 

Our international sales are subject to inherent risks, including:

 

  · global pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic;

 

  · the impact of conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine on our operations;

 

  · geo-political events, such as the crisis in Ukraine, government responses to such events and the related impact on the economy both nationally and internationally;

 

  · fluctuations in foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar;

 

  · unexpected changes to currency policy or currency restrictions in foreign jurisdictions;

 

  · delays in collecting trade receivable balances from customers in developing economies;

 

  · unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;

 

  · difficulties and the high tax costs associated with the repatriation of earnings;

 

  · fluctuations in local economies;

 

  · disparate and changing employment laws in foreign jurisdictions;

 

  · difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

Moreover, there can be no assurance that our international sales will continue at existing levels or grow in accordance with our efforts to increase foreign market penetration.

 

In many foreign countries, particularly in those with developing economies, it is common to engage in business practices that are prohibited by U.S. regulations applicable to us such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Although we have policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with these laws, there can be no assurance that all of our employees, contractors and agents, including those based in or from countries where practices which violate such U.S. laws may be customary, will not take actions in violation of our policies. Any violation of foreign or U.S. laws by our employees, contractors or agents, even if such violation is prohibited by our policies, could have a material adverse effect on our business. We must also comply with various import and export regulations. The application of these various regulations depends on the classification of our products which can change over time as such regulations are modified or interpreted. As a result, even if we are currently in compliance with applicable regulations, there can be no assurance that we will not have to incur additional costs or take additional compliance actions in the future. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in fines or termination of import and export privileges, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. Additionally, the regulatory environment in some countries is very restrictive as their governments try to protect their local economy and value of their local currency against the U.S. dollar.

 

Any future product revenues are dependent on certain industries, and contractions in these industries could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

Sales of our products are dependent on customers in certain industries. As we have experienced in the past, and as we may continue to experience in the future, downturns characterized by diminished product demand in any one or more of these industries may result in decreased sales and a material adverse effect on our operating results. We cannot predict when and to what degree contractions in these industries may occur; however, any sharp or prolonged contraction in one or more of these industries could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

   

We intend to make significant investments in new products that may not be successful or achieve expected returns.

 

We plan to continue to make significant investments in research, development, and marketing for new and existing products and technologies. These investments involve a number of risks as the commercial success of such efforts depend on many factors, including our ability to anticipate and respond to innovation, achieve the desired technological fit, and be effective with our marketing and distribution efforts. If our existing or potential customers do not perceive our latest product offerings as providing significant new functionality or value, or if we are late to market with a new product or technology, we may not achieve our expected return on our investments or be able recover the costs expended to develop new product offerings, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. Even if our new products are profitable, our operating margins for new products may not be as high as the margins we have experienced historically.

 

Our success depends on new product introductions and market acceptance of our products.

 

The market for our products is characterized by technological change, evolving industry standards, changes in customer needs and frequent new product introductions, and is therefore highly dependent upon timely product innovation. Our success is dependent on our ability to successfully develop and introduce new and enhanced products on a timely basis to replace declining revenues from older products, and on increasing penetration in domestic and international markets. Any significant delay in releasing new products could have a material adverse effect on the ultimate success of a product and other related products and could impede continued sales of predecessor products, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. There can be no assurance that we will be able to introduce new products, that our new products will achieve market acceptance or that any such acceptance will be sustained for any significant period. Failure of our new products to achieve or sustain market acceptance could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

Our reported financial results may be adversely affected by changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.

 

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. These accounting principles are subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission. A change in these policies or interpretations could have a significant effect on our reported financial results, may retroactively affect previously reported results, could cause unexpected financial reporting fluctuations, and may require us to make costly changes to our operational processes and accounting systems.

 

We operate in intensely competitive markets.

 

The markets in which we operate are characterized by intense competition from numerous competitors, some of which are divisions of large corporations having far greater resources than we have, and we may face further competition from new market entrants in the future. Some examples of large and small competitors include, but are not limited to:

 

  · General Electric with its GE Predix product for IoT;

 

  · IBM with its IBM BlueMix and IBM IoT Watson products;

 

  · Siemens with its MindSphere IoT product;

 

  · Microsoft with its Microsoft Azure IoT Suite;

 

  · FogHorn Systems;

 

  · Tulip.io; and

 

  · MachineSense.

  

Our financial results are subject to fluctuations due to various factors that may adversely affect our business and result of operations.

 

Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future due to several factors, including:

 

  · global pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic;

 

  · the impact of conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine on our operations;

 

  · geo-political events, such as the crisis in Ukraine, government responses to such events and the related impact on the economy both nationally and internationally;

 

  · fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;

 

  · changes in global economic conditions;

 

  · changes in the mix of products sold;

 

  · the availability and pricing of components from third parties (especially limited sources);

 

 

 

 11 
 

 

  · the difficulty in maintaining margins, including the higher margins traditionally achieved in international sales;

 

  · changes in pricing policies by us, our competitors or suppliers;

 

  · the timing, cost or outcome of any future intellectual property litigation or commercial disputes;

 

  · delays in product shipments caused by human error or other factors; or

 

  · disruptions in transportation channels.

 

Any future acquisitions made by us will be subject to several related costs and challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

 

We plan to make more acquisitions in the future. Achieving the anticipated benefits of an acquisition depends upon whether the integration of the acquired business, products or technology is accomplished efficiently and effectively. In addition, successful acquisitions generally require, among other things, integration of product offerings, manufacturing operations and coordination of sales and marketing and R&D efforts. These difficulties can become more challenging due to the need to coordinate geographically separated organizations, the complexities of the technologies being integrated, and the necessities of integrating personnel with disparate business backgrounds and combining different corporate cultures. The integration of operations following an acquisition also requires the dedication of management resources, which may distract attention from our day-to-day business and may disrupt key R&D, marketing or sales efforts. Our inability to successfully integrate any of our acquisitions could harm our business. The existing products previously sold by entities we have acquired may be of a lesser quality than our products or could contain errors that produce incorrect results on which users rely or cause failure or interruption of systems or processes that could subject us to liability claims that could have a material adverse effect on our operating results or financial position. Furthermore, products acquired in connection with acquisitions may not gain acceptance in our markets, and we may not achieve the anticipated or desired benefits of such transactions.

 

We may experience component shortages that may adversely affect our business and result of operations.

 

We have experienced difficulty in securing certain types of high-power connectors for one of our projects and anticipate that supply shortages of components used in our products, including limited source components, can result in significant additional costs and inefficiencies in manufacturing. If we are unsuccessful in resolving any such component shortages in a timely manner, we will experience a significant impact on the timing of revenue, a possible loss of revenue, or an increase in manufacturing costs, any of which would have a material adverse impact on our operating results.

 

We rely on management information systems. interruptions in our information technology systems or cyber-attacks on our systems could adversely affect our business.

 

We rely on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of complex information technology systems and networks to operate our business. We rely on a primary global center for our management information systems and on multiple systems in branches not covered by our global center. As with any information system, unforeseen issues may arise that could affect our ability to receive adequate, accurate and timely financial information, which in turn could inhibit effective and timely decisions. Furthermore, it is possible that our global center for information systems or our branch operations could experience a complete or partial shutdown. A significant system or network disruption could be the result of new system implementations, computer viruses, cyber-attacks, security breaches, facility issues or energy blackouts. Threats to our information technology security can take a variety of forms and individuals or groups of hackers or sophisticated organizations including state-sponsored organizations, may take steps that pose threats to our customers and our infrastructure. If we were to experience a shutdown, disruption or attack, it would adversely impact our product shipments and net sales, as order processing and product distribution are heavily dependent on our management information systems. Such an interruption could also result in a loss of our intellectual property or the release of sensitive competitive information or partner, customer or employee personal data. Any loss of such information could harm our competitive position, result in a loss of customer confidence, and cause us to incur significant costs to remedy the damages caused by the disruptions or security breaches. In addition, changing laws and regulations governing our responsibility to safeguard private data could result in a significant increase in operating or capital expenditures needed to comply with these new laws or regulations. Accordingly, our operating results in such periods would be adversely impacted.

We are continually working to maintain reliable systems to control costs and improve our ability to deliver our products in our markets worldwide. Our efforts include, but are not limited to the following: firewalls, antivirus protection, patches, log monitors, routine backups with offsite retention of storage media, system audits, data partitioning and routine password modifications. Our internal information technology systems environment continues to evolve, and our business policies and internal security controls may not keep pace as new threats emerge. No assurance can be given that our efforts to continue to enhance our systems will be successful.

 

We are subject to risks associated with our website.

 

We devote resources to maintaining our website, www.oxyscorp.com, as a key marketing, sales and support tool and expect to continue to do so in the future. Failure to properly maintain our website may interrupt normal operations, including our ability to run and market our business which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We host our website internally. Any failure to successfully maintain our website or any significant downtime or outages affecting our website could have a material adverse impact on our operating results.

 

Our products are complex and may contain bugs or errors.

 

As has occurred in the past and as may be expected to occur in the future, our new software products or new operating systems of third parties on which our products are based often contain bugs or errors that can result in reduced sales or cause our support costs to increase, either of which could have a material adverse impact on our operating results. 

 

Compliance with sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is costly and challenging.

 

As required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our periodic reports contain our management’s certification of adequate disclosure controls and procedures, a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting including an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, and an attestation and report by our external auditors with respect to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404. While these assessments and reports have not revealed any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, compliance with Sections 302 and 404 is required for each future fiscal year end. We expect that the ongoing compliance with Sections 302 and 404 will continue to be both very costly and very challenging and there can be no assurance that material weaknesses will not be identified in future periods. Any adverse results from such ongoing compliance efforts could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and have an adverse effect on our stock price.

 

Our business depends on our proprietary rights and we have been subject to intellectual property litigation.

 

Our success depends on our ability to obtain and maintain patents and other proprietary rights relative to the technologies used in our principal products. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may have in the past infringed or violated certain of our intellectual property rights. We from time to time may engage in litigation to protect our intellectual property rights. In monitoring and policing our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources. We from time to time may be notified that we are infringing certain patent or intellectual property rights of others. There can be no assurance that any future intellectual property dispute or litigation will not result in significant expense, liability, injunction against the sale of some of our products, and a diversion of management’s attention, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

We are subject to the risk of product liability claims.

 

Our products are designed to provide information upon which users may rely. Our products are also used in “real time” applications requiring extremely rapid and continuous processing and constant feedback. Such applications give rise to the risk that a failure or interruption of the system or application could result in economic damage, bodily harm or property damage. We attempt to assure the quality and accuracy of the processes contained in our products, and to limit our product liability exposure through contractual limitations on liability, limited warranties, express disclaimers and warnings as well as disclaimers contained in our “shrink wrap” and electronically displayed license agreements with end-users. If our products contain errors that produce incorrect results on which users rely or cause failure or interruption of systems or processes, customer acceptance of our products could be adversely affected. Further, we could be subject to liability claims that could have a material adverse effect on our operating results or financial position. Although we maintain liability insurance for product liability matters, there can be no assurance that such insurance or the contractual limitations used by us to limit our liability will be sufficient to cover or limit any claims which may occur.

 

Each of our current product candidates and services is in an early stage of development and we may never succeed in developing and/or commercializing them. If we are unable to commercialize our services, products, or software, or if we experience significant delays in doing so, our business may fail.

 

We intend to invest a significant portion of our efforts and financial resources in our software and we will depend heavily on its success. This software is currently in the beta stage of development. We need to devote significant additional research and development, financial resources and personnel to develop additional commercially viable products, establish intellectual property rights, if necessary, and establish a sales and marketing infrastructure. We are likely to encounter hurdles and unexpected issues as we proceed in the development of our software and our other product candidates. There are many reasons that we may not succeed in our efforts to develop our product candidates, including the possibility that our product candidates will be deemed undesirable; our product candidates will be too expensive to develop or market or will not achieve broad market acceptance; others will hold proprietary rights that will prevent us from marketing our product candidates; or our competitors will market products that are perceived as equivalent or superior.

 

We depend on third parties to assist us in the development of our software and other product candidates, and any failure of those parties to fulfill their obligations could result in costs and delays and prevent us from successfully commercializing our software and product candidates on a timely basis, if at all.

 

We may engage consultants and other third parties to help our software and product candidates. We may face delays in our commercialization efforts if these parties do not perform their obligations in a timely or competent fashion or if we are forced to change service providers. Any third parties that we hire may also provide services to our competitors, which could compromise the performance of their obligations to us. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their duties or meet expected deadlines, the commercialization of our software and product candidates may be extended, delayed or terminated or may otherwise prove to be unsuccessful. Any delays or failures as a result of the failure to perform by third parties would cause our development costs to increase, and we may not be able to commercialize our product candidates. In addition, we may not be able to establish or maintain relationships with these third parties on favorable terms, if at all. If we need to enter into replacement arrangements because a third party is not performing in accordance with our expectations, we may not be able to do so without undue delays or considerable expenditures or at all.

 

The loss of or inability to retain key personnel could materially adversely affect our operations.

 

Our management includes a select group of experienced technology professionals, particularly Clifford Emmons and Karen McNemar, who will be instrumental in the development of our software and product candidates. The success of our operations will, in part, depend on the successful continued involvement of these individuals. If these individuals leave the employment of or engagement with us, OXYS, or HereLab, then our ability to operate will be negatively impacted. Although we have consulting agreements with these individuals, we do not have any employment agreements with these parties and do not maintain any “key-man” insurance for them.

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

 

Patents acquired by us may not be valid or enforceable and may be challenged by third parties.

 

We do not intend to seek a legal opinion or other independent verification that any patents issued or licensed to us would be held valid by a court or administrative body or that we would be able to successfully enforce our patents against infringers, including our competitors. The issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its validity or enforceability, and the validity and enforceability of a patent is susceptible to challenge on numerous legal grounds. Challenges raised in patent infringement litigation brought by or against us may result in determinations that patents that have been issued or licensed to us or any patents that may be issued to us or our licensors in the future are invalid, unenforceable or otherwise subject to limitations. In the event of any such determinations, third parties may be able to use the discoveries or technologies claimed in these patents without paying licensing fees or royalties to us, which could significantly diminish the value of our intellectual property and our competitive advantage. Even if our patents are held to be enforceable, others may be able to design around our patents or develop products similar to our products that are not within the scope of any of our patents.

 

In addition, enforcing any patents that may be issued to us in the future against third parties may require significant expenditures regardless of the outcome of such efforts. Our inability to enforce our patents against infringers and competitors may impair our ability to be competitive and could have a material adverse effect on our business.

  

If we are not able to protect and control our unpatented trade secrets, know-how and other technological innovation, we may suffer competitive harm.

 

We rely on unpatented technology, trade secrets, confidential information and proprietary know-how to protect our technology and maintain any future competitive position, especially when we do not believe that patent protection is appropriate or can be obtained. Trade secrets are difficult to protect. In order to protect proprietary technology and processes, we rely in part on confidentiality and intellectual property assignment agreements with our employees, consultants and others. These agreements generally provide that the individual must keep confidential and not disclose to other parties any confidential information developed or learned by the individual during the course of the individual’s relationship with us except in limited circumstances. These agreements generally also provide that we shall own all inventions conceived by the individual in the course of rendering services to us. These agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of confidential information or result in the effective assignment to us of intellectual property and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of confidential information or other breaches of the agreements. In addition, others may independently discover trade secrets and proprietary information that have been licensed to us or that we own, and in such case, we could not assert any trade secret rights against such party.

 

Enforcing a claim that a party illegally obtained and is using trade secrets that have been licensed to us or that we own is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States may be less willing to protect trade secrets. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to seek to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could have a material adverse effect on our business. Moreover, some of our academic institution licensors, collaborators and scientific advisors have rights to publish data and information to which we have rights. If we cannot maintain the confidentiality of our technologies and other confidential information in connection with our collaborations, our ability to protect our proprietary information or obtain patent protection in the future may be impaired, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

The public trading market for our common stock is volatile and will likely result in higher spreads in stock prices.

 

Our common stock is trading in the over-the-counter market and is quoted on the OTC Pink. The over-the-counter market for securities has historically experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations during certain periods. These broad market fluctuations and other factors, such as our ability to implement our business plan, as well as economic conditions and quarterly variations in our results of operations, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, the spreads on stock traded through the over-the-counter market are generally unregulated and higher than on stock exchanges, which means that the difference between the price at which shares could be purchased by investors on the over-the-counter market compared to the price at which they could be subsequently sold would be greater than on these exchanges. Significant spreads between the bid and asked prices of the stock could continue during any period in which a sufficient volume of trading is unavailable or if the stock is quoted by an insignificant number of market makers. We cannot ensure that our trading volume will be sufficient to significantly reduce this spread, or that we will have sufficient market makers to affect this spread. These higher spreads could adversely affect investors who purchase the shares at the higher price at which the shares are sold, but subsequently sell the shares at the lower bid prices quoted by the brokers. Unless the bid price for the stock increases and exceeds the price paid for the shares by the investor, plus brokerage commissions or charges, shareholders could lose money on the sale. For higher spreads such as those on over-the-counter stocks, this is likely a much greater percentage of the price of the stock than for exchange listed stocks. There is no assurance that at the time the shareholder wishes to sell the shares, the bid price will have sufficiently increased to create a profit on the sale.

 

Because our shares are designated as “penny stock”, broker-dealers will be less likely to trade in our stock due to, among other items, the requirements for broker-dealers to disclose to investors the risks inherent in penny stocks and to make a determination that the investment is suitable for the purchaser.

 

Our shares are designated as “penny stock” as defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and thus may be more illiquid than shares not designated as penny stock. The SEC has adopted rules which regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks are defined generally as: non-Nasdaq equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share; not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; or in issuers with net tangible assets less than $2,000,000, if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years, or $10,000,000, if in continuous operation for less than three years, or with average revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the last three years. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, to provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account, to make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a stock that is subject to the penny stock rules. Since our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors in the shares may find it more difficult to sell their shares. Many brokers have decided not to trade in penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. The reduction in the number of available market makers and other broker-dealers willing to trade in penny stocks may limit the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their stock in any secondary market. These penny stock regulations, and the restrictions imposed on the resale of penny stocks by these regulations, could adversely affect our stock price.

 

Our Board of Directors can, without shareholder approval, cause preferred stock to be issued on terms that adversely affect common shareholders.

 

Under our Articles of Incorporation, our board of directors is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 26,299 are issued and outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus. Also, our board of directors, without shareholder approval, may determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares. If our board of directors causes any additional shares of preferred stock to be issued, the rights of the holders of our common stock could be adversely affected. Our board of directors’ ability to determine the terms of preferred stock and to cause its issuance, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock. Additional preferred shares issued by our board of directors could include voting rights, or even additional super voting rights (above those pertaining to the Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock), which could shift the ability to control our company to the holders of our preferred stock. Additional preferred shares could also have conversion rights into shares of our common stock at a discount to the market price of the common stock which could negatively affect the market for our common stock. In addition, preferred shares would have preference in the event of our liquidation, which means that the holders of preferred shares would be entitled to receive the net assets of our company distributed in liquidation before the common stock holders receive any distribution of the liquidated assets.

 

 

 

 16 
 

 

We have not paid, and do not intend to pay in the near future, dividends on our common shares and therefore, unless our common stock appreciates in value, our shareholders may not benefit from holding our common stock.

 

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since inception. Therefore, any return on the investment made in our shares of common stock will likely be dependent initially upon the shareholder’s ability to sell our common shares in the open market, at prices in excess of the amount paid for our common shares and broker commissions on the sales.

 

Because we became public by means of a reverse merger, we may not be able to attract the attention of brokerage firms.

 

Additional risks may exist because we became public through a “reverse merger.” Securities analysts of brokerage firms may not provide coverage of our company since there is little incentive for brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will want to conduct secondary offerings on our behalf in the future.

  

Shares of our common stock that have not been registered under federal securities laws are subject to resale restrictions imposed by Rule 144, including those set forth in Rule 144(i) which apply to a former “shell company.”

 

Prior to the closing of the SEA, we were deemed a “shell company” under applicable SEC rules and regulations because we had no or nominal operations and either no or nominal assets, assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents, or assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. Pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act sales of the securities of a former shell company, such as us, under that rule are not permitted (i) until at least 12 months have elapsed from the date on which Form 10-type information reflecting our status as a non-shell company, is filed with the SEC and (ii) unless at the time of a proposed sale, we are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and have filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months, other than Form 8-K reports. Without registration under the Securities Act, our shareholders will be forced to hold their shares of our common stock for at least that 12-month period after the filing of the report on Form 8-K following the closing of the reverse merger before they are eligible to sell those shares pursuant to Rule 144, and even after that 12-month period, sales may not be made under Rule 144 unless we are in compliance with other requirements of Rule 144. Further, it will be more difficult for us to raise funding to support our operations through the sale of debt or equity securities unless we agree to register such securities under the Securities Act, which could cause us to expend significant time and cash resources. The lack of liquidity of our securities as a result of the inability to sell under Rule 144 for a longer period of time than a non-former shell company could negatively affect the market price of our securities.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” and will be able take advantage of reduced disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth companies,” which could make our common stock less attractive to investors.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act, and, for as long as we continue to be an “emerging growth company,” we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive if we choose to rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result of any choices to reduce future disclosure, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

Risks Related to the Offering

 

Our existing stockholders may experience significant dilution from the sale of our common stock pursuant to the GHS Equity Financing Agreement.

 

The sale of our common stock to GHS in accordance with the Equity Financing Agreement may have a dilutive impact on our shareholders. As a result, the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is at the time we exercise our put options, the more shares of our common stock we will have to issue to GHS in order to exercise a put under the Equity Financing Agreement. If our stock price decreases, then our existing shareholders would experience greater dilution for any given dollar amount raised through the offering.

 

The perceived risk of dilution may cause our stockholders to sell their shares, which may cause a decline in the price of our common stock. Moreover, the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our stock price could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our common stock. By increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in our common stock.

 

The issuance of shares pursuant to the GHS Equity Financing Agreement may have a significant dilutive effect.

 

Depending on the number of shares we issue pursuant to the GHS Financing Agreement, it could have a significant dilutive effect upon our existing shareholders. Although the number of shares that we may issue pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement will vary based on our stock price (the higher our stock price, the less shares we have to issue), there may be a potential dilutive effect to our shareholders, based on different potential future stock prices, if the full amount of the Equity Financing Agreement is realized. Dilution is based upon common stock put to GHS and the stock price discounted to GHS’s Purchase Price.

 

GHS will pay less than the then-prevailing market price of our common stock which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

Our common stock to be issued under the Equity Financing Agreement will be purchased at a 10% discount, or 90% of the volume-weighted average price for the Company’s common stock during the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding each Put.

 

GHS has a financial incentive to sell our shares immediately upon receiving them to realize the profit between the discounted price and the market price. If GHS sells our shares, the price of our common stock may decrease. If our stock price decreases, GHS may have further incentive to sell such shares. Accordingly, the discounted sales price in the Equity Financing Agreement may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

We may not have access to the full amount under the financing agreement.

 

The lowest volume-weighted average price for the ten days ended February 8, 2023 was $0.0028. At that price we would be able to sell shares to GHS under the Equity Financing Agreement at the discounted price of $0.00252. At that discounted price, the additional 109,000,000 shares would only represent $274,680, which is far below the full amount of the Equity Financing Agreement. In addition, any single drawdown must be at least $10,000 and cannot exceed $500,000 and any single drawdown may not exceed 200% of the average daily trading dollar volume of our Common Stock during the ten trading days preceding the put, which is approximately $80,500 on the date of this Registration Statement.

THE SELLING STOCKHOLDER

 

The selling stockholder identified in this Prospectus may offer an indeterminate number of shares of its common stock, which will consist of up to 109,000,000 shares of common stock to be sold by GHS pursuant to an Equity Financing Agreement. As of the date hereof, 149,876,099 shares (including 1,800,000 commitment shares) have been sold to GHS under the Equity Financing Agreement. If issued presently, the additional 109,000,000 shares of common stock registered for resale by GHS, all of which have yet to be issued, would represent 22.30% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of February 8, 2023. Additionally, the additional 109,000,000 shares of our common stock registered for resale herein, all of which have yet to be issued, would represent approximately 23.82% of the Company’s public float (all current free-trading shares not held by affiliates).

 

We may require the selling stockholder to suspend the sales of the shares of our common stock being offered pursuant to this Prospectus upon the occurrence of any event that makes any statement in this Prospectus or the related registration statement untrue in any material respect or that requires the changing of statements in those documents in order to make statements in those documents not misleading.

 

The selling stockholder identified in the table below may from time to time offer and sell under this Prospectus any or all of the shares of common stock described under the column “Shares of Common Stock Being Offered” in the table below.

 

GHS will be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act. Any profits realized by the selling stockholder may be deemed to be underwriting commissions.

 

We cannot give an estimate as to the number of shares of common stock that will actually be held by the selling stockholder upon termination of this offering, because the selling stockholder may offer some or all of the common stock under the offering contemplated by this Prospectus or acquire additional shares of common stock. The total number of shares that may be sold hereunder will not exceed the number of shares offered hereby. Please read the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in this Prospectus.

 

The manner in which the selling stockholder acquired or will acquire shares of our common stock is discussed below under “The Offering.”

  

The following table sets forth the name of the selling stockholder, the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by such stockholder before this offering, the number of shares to be offered for such stockholder’s account and the number and (if one percent or more) the percentage of the class to be beneficially owned by such stockholder after completion of the offering. The number of shares owned are those beneficially owned, as determined under the rules of the SEC, and such information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares of our common stock as to which a person has sole or shared voting power or investment power and any shares of common stock which the person has the right to acquire within 60 days of February 8, 2023, through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, through conversion of any security or pursuant to the automatic termination of a power of attorney or revocation of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement, and such shares are deemed to be beneficially owned and outstanding for computing the share ownership and percentage of the person holding such options, warrants or other rights, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. Beneficial ownership percentages are calculated based on 379,680,495 shares of our common stock outstanding as of February 8, 2023.

 

 

 

 20 
 

 

Unless otherwise set forth below, (a) the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite the selling stockholder’s name, subject to community property laws, where applicable, and (b) no selling stockholder had any position, office or other material relationship within the past three years, with us or with any of our predecessors or affiliates. The number of shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned before the offering is based on information furnished to us or otherwise based on information available to us at the timing of the filing of the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part.

Notes:

 

(1) Because the selling stockholder may offer and sell all or only some portion of the 109,000,000 additional shares of our common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus and may acquire additional shares of our common stock in the future, we can only estimate the number and percentage of shares of our common stock that the selling stockholder will hold upon termination of the offering based on the shares currently held.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling stockholder may, from time to time, sell any or all of its shares of Company common stock through the OTC Link or any other stock exchange, quotation board, market or trading facility on which the shares of our common stock are quoted or traded, or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed prices, prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices, or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

  · ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

  · block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

  · purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

  · privately negotiated transactions;

 

  · broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; or

 

  · a combination of any such methods of sale.

  

Additionally, broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commissions in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction, a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

 

GHS will be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents, and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them, may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. GHS has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to a requirement by FINRA, the maximum commission or discount to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer may not be greater than 8% of the gross proceeds received by us for the sale of any securities being registered pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by the selling stockholder. The selling stockholder may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer, or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.

 

We have entered into an agreement with GHS to keep this prospectus effective until GHS (i) has sold all of the common shares purchased by it under the Financing Agreement and (ii) has no further right to acquire any additional shares of common stock under the Financing Agreement.

 

The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the selling stockholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholder.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of any of the shares of our common stock by the selling stockholder. We will receive proceeds from the sale of our common stock to GHS under the Equity Financing Agreement. Neither the Equity Financing Agreement with GHS nor any rights of the parties under the Equity Financing Agreement with GHS may be assigned or delegated to any other person.

Holders of Common Stock

 

As of the close of business on February 8, 2023, we had approximately 153 holders of our common stock. The number of record holders was determined from the records of our transfer agent and does not include beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in the names of various security brokers, dealers, and registered clearing agencies. We have appointed IssuerDirect, 1981 East 4800 South, Suite 100, Salt Lake City, UT 84117, to act as transfer agent for the common stock.

 

Dividend Information

 

We have never declared a cash dividend on our common stock and our Board of Directors does not anticipate that we will pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, restrictions contained in our agreements and other factors which our Board of Directors deems relevant.

 

We are obligated to pay dividends to certain holders of our preferred stock which we pay out of legally available funds from time to time or reach arrangements with our holders of preferred stock to convert limited quantities of preferred stock at favorable conversion prices in lieu of dividend payments.

 

Rule 10B-18 Transactions

 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, there were no repurchases of the Company’s common stock by the Company.

  

The Company will use the proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock sold to GHS, for general corporate and working capital purposes, and continued business operations, or for other purposes that the Board of Directors, in good faith, deems to be in the best interest of the Company.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

We have not set an offering price for the shares registered hereunder, as the only shares being registered are those sold pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement with GHS. GHS may sell all or a portion of the shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices, or at negotiated prices.

 

DILUTION

 

The sale of our common stock to GHS in accordance with the Equity Financing Agreement may have a dilutive impact on our shareholders. As a result, our net income per share could decrease in future periods and the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is at the time we exercise our put option, the more shares of our common stock we will have to issue to GHS. If our stock price decreases, then our existing shareholders would experience greater dilution for any given dollar amount raised through the offering.

 

The perceived risk of dilution may cause our stockholders to sell their shares, which would contribute to a decline in the price of our common stock. Moreover, the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our stock price could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our common stock. By increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in our common stock.

 

Dilution represents the difference between the offering price (market price) and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this Offering. Net tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets (product development costs) from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of our arbitrary determination of the Offering price of the shares being offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of the lower book value of shares of our common stock held by our existing shareholders.

 

As of September 30, 2022, the net tangible book value (deficit) of our shares of common stock was ($1,384,957), or approximately ($0.0045) per share based upon 309,083,423 shares then outstanding. Upon completion of this Offering, if 100% of the unissued shares are sold (109,000,000 shares) at a discounted market price of $0.004425 (90% of $0.004917), the lowest volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock during the ten consecutive trading day period preceding February 8, 2023) per share, the net tangible book value of the 418,083,423 shares to be outstanding will be approximately ($902,617) or approximately ($0.002159) per share. Based on these figures, current shareholders will not experience a dilution in terms of net tangible book value per share as a result of this offering.

THE OFFERING

 

On November 1, 2021, we entered into an Equity Financing Agreement with GHS for an equity line. Although we are not required to sell shares under the Equity Financing Agreement, the Equity Financing Agreement gives us the option to sell to GHS up to $2,500,000 worth of our common stock, in increments, beginning on the first trading day after the effective date of this Registration Statement and ending on the earlier of (i) the date GHS has purchased an aggregate of $2,500,000 of our common stock pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement, (ii) November 1, 2023, twenty-four months from the date of execution of the Equity Financing Agreement, or (iii) upon mutual termination of the Equity Financing Agreement (the “Open Period”). $2,500,000 was stated to be the total amount of available funding in the Equity Financing Agreement, because this was the maximum amount that GHS and we agreed to for the funding. There is no assurance the market price of our common stock will increase in the future, or that we will ever sell (i) $2,500,000 of our common stock to GHS, or (ii) all 109,000,000 unissued shares being registered hereunder. The number of common shares that remain issuable may not be sufficient, dependent upon the share price, to allow us to access the full amount contemplated under the Equity Financing Agreement. If the trading prices of our common stock remains the same and does not materially increase, we will not be able to place puts for the full commitment amount under the Equity Financing Agreement. The lowest volume-weighted average price for the 10 days ended July 5, 2022 was $0.00682 per share. At that price we would be able to sell shares to GHS under the Equity Financing Agreement at the discounted price of $0.006138 per share. At that discounted price, the 109,000,000 unissued shares would only represent $613,800, which is far below the full amount of the Equity Financing Agreement. In addition, any single drawdown may not exceed 200% of the average daily trading dollar volume of the Company’s Common Stock during the ten trading days preceding the put, which is approximately $20,000 on the date of this Registration Statement. In addition, Puts must be for a minimum of $10,000, and cannot exceed $500,000. In accordance with the Equity Financing Agreement, the Company issued to GHS the Commitment Shares.

 

During the Open Period, the Company may, in its sole discretion, deliver a put notice (“Put Notice”) to GHS which shall state the dollar amount requested by the Company (the “Put Amount”) and number of shares intends to sell to GHS on a designated closing date. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) of the common stock sold pursuant to a Put Notice will be set at ninety percent (90%) of the lowest volume-weighted average price of the common stock during the ten consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the date on which the Company delivers the Put Notice to GHS. We are obligated to deliver a number of shares to GHS equal to Put Amount divided by the Purchase Price in consideration of the payment of the Put Amount. At the end of the Pricing Period (as defined in the Equity Financing Agreement), the Purchase Price will be established and an amount of shares equaling 110% of the Put Shares will be delivered to GHS’s broker for a particular Put. For example, if we delivered a put notice to GHS for $20,000, and the volume-weighted average price for the past ten consecutive trading days is $0.02, we would be obligated to issue GHS 1,111,111 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.018 per share. The 10% price per share discount GHS will receive with each put sale means that GHS will effectively be paying us $20,000 as a Put Amount for $22,000 in our stock that is issued.

 

In addition, the Equity Financing Agreement (i) imposes an ownership limitation on GHS of 4.99% (i.e., GHS has no obligation to purchase shares if it beneficially owns 4.99% or more of our common stock), (ii) requires a minimum of ten trading days between Put Notices, (iii) prohibits any single Put Amount from under $10,000 or exceeding $500,000 or exceeding two times the average daily trading dollar volume for the Company’s common stock during the ten days preceding the Put Notice or (iv) delivering a Put Notice within ten days prior to the closing of a prior Put Amount.

 

In order for the Company to be eligible to deliver put notices to GHS, the following conditions must be met: (i) a registration statement shall be declared effective and remain effective; (ii) at all times during the period beginning on the related put notice date and ending on and including the related closing date of the put, the Company’s common stock shall have been listed or quoted for trading on OTC Markets or its equivalent and shall not have been suspended from trading thereon for a period of two consecutive trading days during the Open Period; (iii) the Company has not defaulted or be in breach of the Equity Financing Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement; (iv) no injunction shall be issued or remain in force in connection with the purchase of the Company’s shares; and (v) the issuance of the shares will not violate any shareholder approval requirements of the OTC Markets. If any of the events described above occurs during a pricing period, then GHS shall have no obligation to purchase the shares delivered in the Put Notice. Further, the terms of the Equity Financing Agreement require that the Company take all commercially reasonable steps necessary to have the Registration Statement be declared effective no more than 90 days following the date this Registration Statement was originally filed.

 

 

 

 26 
 

 

GHS is not permitted to engage in short sales involving our common stock, or to engage in other activities that could manipulate the market for our common stock, during the period commencing November 1, 2021, and continuing through the termination of the Equity Financing Agreement. In accordance with Regulation SHO, however, sales of our common stock by GHS after delivery of a put notice of such number of shares reasonably expected to be purchased by GHS under a put will not be deemed short sales.

 

In order for the Company’s exercise of a put to be effective, we must deliver the documents, instruments and writings required under the Equity Financing Agreement. GHS is not required to purchase the put shares unless:

 

  · Our registration statement with respect to the resale of the shares of common stock delivered in connection with the applicable put shall have been declared effective;

 

  · we shall have obtained all material permits and qualifications required by any applicable state for the offer and sale of the registrable securities; and

 

  · we shall have filed all requisite reports, notices, and other documents with the SEC in a timely manner.

 

As we draw down on the equity line of credit reflected in the Equity Financing Agreement, shares of our common stock will be sold into the market by GHS. The sale of these shares could cause our stock price to decline. In turn, if our stock price declines and we issue more Puts, more shares will come into the market, which could cause a further drop in our stock price. The Company determines when and whether to issue a put to GHS, so the Company will know precisely both the stock price used as the reference point, and the number of shares issuable to GHS upon such exercise. You should be aware that there is an inverse relationship between the market price of our common stock and the number of shares to be issued under the equity line of credit. We have no obligation to utilize the full amount available under the equity line of credit.

 

Neither the Equity Financing Agreement nor any of our rights or GHS’s rights thereunder may be assigned to any other person.

 

There is no assurance the market price of our common stock will increase in the future. The number of common shares that remain issuable may not be sufficient, dependent upon the share price, to allow us to access the full amount contemplated under the Equity Financing Agreement. If the bid/ask spread remains the same we will not be able to place a put for the full commitment under the Equity Financing Agreement. Based on the lowest volume-weighted average price of our common stock during the ten consecutive trading day period preceding February 8, 2023 was $0.0028, the Registration Statement covers the offer and possible sale of $274,680 worth of our shares.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

We have authorized capital stock consisting of the following. The total number of shares of capital stock which the Company has the authority to issue is: 1,010,000,000. These shares shall be divided into two classes with 1,000,000,000 shares designated as common stock at $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”) and 10,000,000 shares designated as preferred stock at $0.001 par value (the “Preferred Stock”).The Preferred Stock of the Company is issuable by authority of the Board of Director(s) of the Company in one or more classes or one or more series within any class and such classes or series shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences, limitations or restrictions as the Board of Directors of the Corporation may determine, from time to time. We have 379,680,495 common shares and 26,299 preferred shares outstanding as of the date of this filing.

  

Common Stock

 

The holders of outstanding common shares are entitled to receive dividends out of assets or funds legally available for the payment of dividends of such times and in such amounts as the board from time to time may determine. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. There is no cumulative voting of the election of directors then standing for election. The common shares are not entitled to pre-emptive rights and are not subject to conversion or redemption. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets legally available for distribution to stockholders are distributable ratably among the holders of the common shares after payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding payment of other claims of creditors. Each outstanding common share is duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue additional shares of preferred stock in one or more series, and fix for each series, the designation of and number of shares to be included in each such series. Our Board of Directors is also authorized to set the powers, privileges, preferences, and relative participating, optional or other rights, if any, of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of each such series.

 

Unless our Board of Directors provides otherwise, the shares of all series of preferred stock will rank on parity with respect to the payment of dividends and to the distribution of assets upon liquidation. Any issuance by us of shares of our preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of our control or an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The issuance of preferred stock also could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the holders of common stock or could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of common stock.

2017 Stock Incentive Plan

 

On March 16, 2017, our board of directors assumed the 2017 Stock Awards Plan adopted by the Company while domiciled in New Jersey. No awards were made under this plan. On December 14, 2017, the Board of Directors terminated this plan and adopted a new 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The purposes of the 2017 Plan are (a) to enhance our ability to attract and retain the services of qualified employees, officers, directors, consultants, and other service providers upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the successful conduct and development of our business largely depends, and (b) to provide additional incentives to such persons or entities to devote their utmost effort and skill to the advancement and betterment of our company, by providing them an opportunity to participate in the ownership of our Company and thereby have an interest in the success and increased value of our Company.

 

There are 4,500,000 shares of common stock authorized for non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock grants, and stock appreciation rights under the 2017 Plan, which are subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and other situations.

 

The 2017 Plan is administered by our board of directors; however, the board of directors may designate administration of the 2017 Plan to a committee consisting of at least two independent directors. Only employees of our Company or of an “Affiliated Company”, as defined in the 2017 Plan, (including members of the board of directors if they are employees of our Company or of an Affiliated Company) are eligible to receive incentive stock options under the Plan. Employees of our Company or of an Affiliated Company, members of the board of directors (whether or not employed by our company or an Affiliated Company), and “Service Providers”, as defined in the 2017 Plan, are eligible to receive non-qualified options, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights under the 2017 Plan. All awards are subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

 

 

 

 32 
 

 

No option awards may be exercisable more than ten years after the date it is granted. In the event of termination of employment for cause, the options terminate on the date of employment is terminated. In the event of termination of employment for disability or death, the optionee or administrator of optionee’s estate or transferee has six months following the date of termination to exercise options received at the time of disability or death. In the event of termination for any other reason other than for cause, disability or death, the optionee has 30 days to exercise his or her options.

 

The 2017 Plan will continue in effect until all the stock available for grant or issuance has been acquired through exercise of options or grants of shares, or until ten years after its adoption, whichever is earlier. Awards under the 2017 Plan may also be accelerated in the event of certain corporate transactions such as a merger or consolidation or the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all our assets.

 

As of December 31, 2022, there were 3,547,788 shares of Common Stock issued with 952,212 remaining for awards under the 2017 Plan.

 

2019 Stock Incentive Plan

 

On March 11, 2019, the Board of Directors adopted the 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”). The purposes of the 2019 Plan are (a) to enhance our ability to attract and retain the services of qualified employees, officers, directors, consultants, and other service providers upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the successful conduct and development of our business largely depends, and (b) to provide additional incentives to such persons or entities to devote their utmost effort and skill to the advancement and betterment of our company, by providing them an opportunity to participate in the ownership of our Company and thereby have an interest in the success and increased value of our Company.

 

The 2019 Plan is administered by our board of directors; however, the board of directors may designate administration of the 2019 Plan to a committee consisting of at least two independent directors. Awards may be made under the Plan for up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Only employees of our Company or of an “Affiliated Company”, as defined in the 2019 Plan, (including members of the board of directors if they are employees of our Company or of an Affiliated Company) are eligible to receive incentive stock options under the 2019 Plan. Employees of our Company or of an Affiliated Company, members of the board of directors (whether or not employed by our company or an Affiliated Company), and “Service Providers”, as defined in the 2019 Plan, are eligible to receive non-qualified options, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights under the 2019 Plan. All awards are subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

No option awards may be exercisable more than ten years after the date it is granted. In the event of termination of employment for cause, the options terminate on the date of employment is terminated. In the event of termination of employment for disability or death, the optionee or administrator of optionee’s estate or transferee has six months following the date of termination to exercise options received at the time of disability or death. In the event of termination for any other reason other than for cause, disability or death, the optionee has 30 days to exercise his or her options.

 

The 2019 Plan will continue in effect until all the stock available for grant or issuance has been acquired through exercise of options or grants of shares, or until ten years after its adoption, whichever is earlier. Awards under the 2019 Plan may also be accelerated in the event of certain corporate transactions such as a merger or consolidation or the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all our assets.

 

As of December 31, 2022, there were 2,230,000 shares of shares Common Stock awarded (including 1,430,000 shares issued and 800,000 shares awarded but unvested) with 2,770,000 shares remaining for awards under the 2019 Plan.

2022 Stock Incentive Plan

 

On March 18, 2022, the Board of Directors adopted the 2022 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”). The purposes of the 2022 Plan are (a) to enhance our ability to attract and retain the services of qualified employees, officers, directors, consultants, and other service providers upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the successful conduct and development of our business largely depends, and (b) to provide additional incentives to such persons or entities to devote their utmost effort and skill to the advancement and betterment of our company, by providing them an opportunity to participate in the ownership of our Company and thereby have an interest in the success and increased value of our Company.

 

The 2022 Plan is administered by our board of directors; however, the board of directors may designate administration of the 2022 Plan to a committee consisting of at least two independent directors. Awards may be made under the Plan for up to 20,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Only employees of our Company or of an “Affiliated Company”, as defined in the 2022 Plan, (including members of the board of directors if they are employees of our Company or of an Affiliated Company) are eligible to receive incentive stock options under the 2022 Plan. Employees of our Company or of an Affiliated Company, members of the board of directors (whether or not employed by our company or an Affiliated Company), and “Service Providers”, as defined in the 2022 Plan, are eligible to receive non-qualified options, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights under the 2022 Plan. All awards are subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

  

No option awards may be exercisable more than ten years after the date it is granted. In the event of termination of employment for cause, the options terminate on the date of employment is terminated. In the event of termination of employment for disability or death, the optionee or administrator of optionee’s estate or transferee has six months following the date of termination to exercise options received at the time of disability or death. In the event of termination for any other reason other than for cause, disability or death, the optionee has 30 days to exercise his or her options.

   

The 2022 Plan will continue in effect until all the stock available for grant or issuance has been acquired through exercise of options or grants of shares, or until ten years after its adoption, whichever is earlier. Awards under the 2022 Plan may also be accelerated in the event of certain corporate transactions such as a merger or consolidation or the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all our assets.

 

As of December 31, 2022, there were 14,300,000 shares of Common Stock awarded (including 14,300,000 shares awarded but unvested) with 5,700,000 shares remaining for awards under the 2022 Plan.

 

Stock Options

 

We currently have no outstanding stock options.

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have never declared a cash dividend on our common stock and our Board of Directors does not anticipate that we will pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, restrictions contained in our agreements and other factors which our Board of Directors deems relevant.

 

We are obligated to pay dividends to certain holders of our preferred stock which we pay out of legally available funds from time to time or reach arrangements with our holders of preferred stock to convert limited quantities of preferred stock at favorable conversion prices in lieu of dividend payments.

 

Transfer Agent

 

We have appointed IssuerDirect, 1981 East 4800 South, Suite 100, Salt Lake City, UT 84117, to act as transfer agent for the common stock.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Various Provisions of Nevada Law

 

The Nevada Business Corporation Law contains a provision governing “Acquisition of Controlling Interest.” This law provides generally that any person or entity that acquires 20% or more of the outstanding voting shares of a publicly-held Nevada corporation in the secondary public or private market may be denied voting rights with respect to the acquired shares, unless a majority of the disinterested shareholders of the corporation elects to restore such voting rights in whole or in part. The control share acquisition act provides that a person or entity acquires “control shares” whenever it acquires shares that, but for the operation of the control share acquisition act, would bring its voting power within any of the following three ranges: (1) 20 to 33 1/3%, (2) 33 1/3 to 50%, or (3) more than 50%. A “control share acquisition” is generally defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of either ownership or voting power associated with issued and outstanding control shares. The shareholders or board of directors of a corporation may elect to exempt the stock of the corporation from the provisions of the control share acquisition act through adoption of a provision to that effect in the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the corporation. Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws do not exempt our common stock from the control share acquisition act. The control share acquisition act is applicable only to shares of “Issuing Corporations” as defined by the act. An Issuing Corporation is a Nevada corporation, which; (1) has 200 or more shareholders, with at least 100 of such shareholders being both shareholders of record and residents of Nevada; and (2) does business in Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation.

 

At this time, we do not have 100 shareholders of record resident of Nevada. Therefore, the provisions of the control share acquisition act do not apply to acquisitions of our shares and will not until such time as these requirements have been met. At such time as they may apply to us, the provisions of the control share acquisition act may discourage companies or persons interested in acquiring a significant interest in or control of the company, regardless of whether such acquisition may be in the interest of our shareholders.

 

The Nevada “Combination with Interested Stockholders Statute” may also have an effect of delaying or making it more difficult to effect a change in control of the company. This statute prevents an “interested stockholder” and a resident domestic Nevada corporation from entering into a “combination,” unless certain conditions are met. The statute defines “combination” to include any merger or consolidation with an “interested stockholder,” or any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions with an “interested stockholder” having; (1) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation; (2) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation; or (3) representing 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation. An “interested stockholder” means the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting shares of a resident domestic corporation, or an affiliate or associate thereof. A corporation affected by the statute may not engage in a “combination” within three years after the interested stockholder acquires its shares unless the combination or purchase is approved by the board of directors before the interested stockholder acquired such shares. If approval is not obtained, then after the expiration of the three-year period, the business combination may be consummated with the approval of the board of directors or a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders, or if the consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder is at least equal to the highest of: (1) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the three years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which he became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher; (2) the market value per common share on the date of announcement of the combination or the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher; or (3) if higher for the holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock. The effect of Nevada’s business combination law is to potentially discourage parties interested in taking control of the company from doing so if it cannot obtain the approval of our board of directors.

 

Currently, we have no Nevada shareholders. Further, we do not do business in Nevada directly or through an affiliate corporation and we do not intend to do so. Accordingly, there are no anti-takeover provisions that have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in our control.

 

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

 

The Nevada Revised Statutes limits or eliminates the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors.

 

 

 

 

 35 
 

 

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions under the Nevada Revised Statues and in our articles of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. However, these provisions do not limit or eliminate our rights, or those of any stockholder, to seek non-monetary relief such as injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s fiduciary duties. Moreover, the provisions do not alter the liability of directors under the federal securities laws. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

 

Authorized but Unissued Shares

 

Our authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval, except as may be required under the listing rules of any stock exchange on which our Common Stock is then listed. We may use additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

 

Penny Stock Regulation

 

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share. Such securities are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell them. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. As the Shares immediately following this Offering will likely be subject to such penny stock rules, purchasers in this Offering will in all likelihood find it more difficult to sell their Shares in the secondary market.

INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO THE REGISTRANT

 

BUSINESS

 

Historical Background

 

We were incorporated in the State of New Jersey on October 1, 2003 under the name of Creative Beauty Supply of New Jersey Corporation, and subsequently changed our name to Gotham Capital Holdings, Inc. on May 18, 2015. We commenced operations in the beauty supply industry as of January 1, 2004. On November 30, 2007, our Board of Directors approved a plan to dispose of our wholesale and retail beauty supply business. From January 1, 2009 until July 28, 2017, we had no operations and were a shell company.

 

On March 16, 2017, our Board of Directors adopted resolutions, which were approved by shareholders holding a majority of our outstanding shares, to change our name to “IIOT-OXYS, Inc.”, to authorize a change of domicile from New Jersey to Nevada, to authorize a 2017 Stock Awards Plan, and to approve the Securities Exchange Agreement (the “OXYS SEA”) between the Company and OXYS Corporation (“OXYS”), a Nevada corporation incorporated on August 4, 2016.

 

Under the terms of the OXYS SEA we acquired 100% of the issued voting shares of OXYS in exchange for 34,687,244 shares of our Common Stock. We also cancelled 1,500,000 outstanding shares of our Common Stock and changed our management to Mr. DiBiase who also served in management of OXYS. Also, one of our principal shareholders entered into a consulting agreement with OXYS to provide consulting services during the transition. The OXYS SEA was effective on July 28, 2017, and our name was changed to “IIOT-OXYS, Inc.” at that time. Effective October 26, 2017, our domicile was changed from New Jersey to Nevada.

 

On December 14, 2017, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “HereLab SEA”) with HereLab, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HereLab”), and HereLab’s two shareholders pursuant to which we would acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of HereLab in exchange for the issuance of 1,650,000 shares of our Common Stock, on a pro rata basis, to HereLab’s two shareholders. The closing of the transaction occurred on January 11, 2018 and HereLab became our wholly-owned subsidiary.

  

At the present time, we have two, wholly-owned subsidiaries which are OXYS Corporation and HereLab, Inc., through which our operations are conducted.

 

General Overview

 

IIOT-OXYS, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and OXYS, were originally established for the purposes of designing, building, testing, and selling Edge Computing systems for the Industrial Internet. Both companies were, and presently are, early stage technology startups that are largely pre-revenue in their development phase. HereLab is also an early-stage technology development company. The Company received its first revenues in the last quarter of 2017, has continued to realize revenues in 2021, and expects to realize revenue growth in 2022 due to its business development pipeline.

 

We develop hardware, software and algorithms that monitor, measure and predict conditions for energy, structural, agricultural and medical applications. We use domain-specific Artificial Intelligence to solve industrial and environmental challenges. Our engineered solutions focus on common sense approaches to machine learning, algorithm development and hardware and software products. We design a system of hardware and software, assemble, install, monitor data and apply our algorithms to help provide the customer insights.

 

 

 

 

 38 
 

 

We use off the shelf components, with reconfigurable hardware architecture that adapts to a wide range of customer needs and applications. We use open-source software tools, while still creating proprietary content for customers, thereby reducing software development time and cost. The software works with the hardware to collect data from the equipment or structure that is being monitored.

  

We focus on developing insights. We develop algorithms that help our customers create insights from vast data streams.  The data collected is analyzed and reports are created for the customer. From these insights, the customer can act to improve their process, product or structure.

 

OUR SOLUTIONS ACHIEVE TWO OBJECTIVES

 

ADD VALUE

 

  · We show clear path to improved asset reliability, machine uptime, machine utilization, energy consumption, and quality.

 

  · We provide advanced algorithms and insights as a service.

  

RISK MINIMIZATION

 

  · We use simple measurements which are minimally invasive.

 

  · We do not interfere with command and control of critical equipment.

 

  · We do not interfere with machine control networks.

 

HOW WE DO IT

 

Our location in Cambridge, Massachusetts is ideal since market-leading Biotech, Medtech, and Pharma multinational firms have offices, manufacturing plants and/ or R&D centers in Cambridge or the Greater Boston area, which gives us easier access to potential sales which, in turn, lowers our cost of sales. Additionally, we continue to gain traction in the structural health monitoring, indoor air quality, and smart manufacturing industries. We, therefore, have a range of opportunities as we continue to expand our customer base.

 

Our goals are to augment visual bridge inspection with instrumentation and predictive algorithms for structural health monitoring; improve indoor air quality with our partner’s proprietary sensors and our predictive analytics; and help Biotech, Pharma, and Medical Device companies realize the next wave of performance, productivity, and quality gains for their organizations, through our Smart Manufacturing/Industry 4.0technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning algorithms.

 

We have a unique value proposition in a fast-growing worldwide multi-billion USD market, and have positioned our business with strategic partners for accelerated growth. We are therefore well-poised for growth in 2023 and beyond, as we execute our plans and acquire additional customers.

 

WHAT MARKETS WE SERVE

 

SMART MANUFACTURING – MEDICAL DEVICES, BIOTECH, AND PHARMACEUTICAL SUPPLY CHAIN

 

We help our customers maintain machine uptime and maximize operational efficiency. We also enable then to do energy monitoring, predictive maintenance that anticipates problems before they happen, and improve part and process quality. We are on the operations side, not the patient-facing side. In this market vertical, our customers must provide high-quality products that must also pass rigorous review by governing bodies such as the FDA. Here again, we focus on machine uptime, operational efficiency, and predictive maintenance to avoid unplanned downtime.

 

 

 

 

 39 
 

 

SMART INFRASTRUCTURE

 

For bridges and other civil infrastructure, local, state and federal agencies have limited resources. We help our clients prioritize how to spend limited funds by addressing those fixes which need to be made first.

 

SMART BUILDINGS

 

Our Indoor Air Quality partner provides sensor technology that is augmented by our AI and Machine Learning algorithms. These systems allow commercial landlords to ensure safe healthy air quality for their properties and tenants.

 

OUR UNIQUE VALUE PROPOSITION

 

EDGE COMPUTING AS A COMPLIMENT TO CLOUD COMPUTING

 

Within the Internet of Things (“IoT”) and Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”), most companies right now are adopting an approach which sends all sensor data to the cloud for processing. We specialize in edge computing, where the data processing is done locally right where the data is collected. We also have advanced cloud-based algorithms that implement various machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms.

  

ADVANCED ALGORITHMS

 

We have sought to differentiate from our competitors by developing advanced algorithms on our own and in collaboration with strategic partners These algorithms are an essential part of the edge computing strategy that convert raw data into actionable knowledge right where the data is collected without having to send the data to the cloud first.

 

RECONFIGURABLE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE

 

Instead of focusing on creating tools, we use open-source tools to create proprietary content.

 

Marketing

 

Our marketing and sales efforts are divided into several distinct categories:

 

  1) We work with partners to leverage their sales and marketing channels.
  2) Direct business development and discussions with end use customers by company management; and
  3) Trade shows and international technical, sales and marketing meetings.

 

 

 

 

 

 40 
 

 

Competition

 

We have two principal sources of competition. The first comes from large companies such as Siemens, PTC, IBM, GE, Amazon, Google, etc., who all have their efforts in IIoT. However, these large companies are cloud – computing centric and they are trying to move towards edge devices from their present position of being solely cloud computing based. We will be starting in edge computing from day one as opposed to force-fitting a cloud-based solution into the limited computational capability and storage space of an edge device. We believe our systems will be more computationally efficient as compared to a cloud-based solution which requires more computational resources.

 

The second source of competition is from startups who are in the edge computing space. Examples are FogHorn Systems Inc., Tulip Interfaces, and MachineSense. There will be additional startups that will specifically target the edge computing space as the investor awareness and the technical focus shifts from cloud computing to edge computing. Whereas other startups focus on development of proprietary tools for edge computing, our solutions will use open source tools but will still create proprietary algorithms and software content for clients and customers. We feel this methodology of creating proprietary solutions using open source tools will allow us to rapidly address current and future customer needs.

 

Government Regulation

 

At present, we do not require any governmental approvals of any of our products or services.

 

Environmental Laws

 

At present, we are not regulated by any environmental laws.

  

Research and Development

 

We work with our partners and universities to develop IP; we will further develop this IP in house into products and services.

 

Other than expenses for legal, accounting, audit, tax preparation, intellectual property (IP), and other overhead expenses such rent, most of our funds are spent on technology development, product development, and research and development. We are an emerging growth, early-stage, technology company and, as such, most of our expenditures are aimed at innovation and product development.

 

The efforts in research and development have already resulted in significant customer interest in various market verticals including industrial, automotive, aerospace, agricultural, infrastructure, and power generation.

 

Intellectual Property

 

On February 5, 2018, we entered into a Non-Exclusive Patent License Agreement with MIT. The agreement, which was effective February 1, 2018, granted to us a royalty-bearing non-exclusive license under U.S. Patent Nos. 8344724 (“Non-Intrusive Monitoring of Power and Other Parameters” issued January 1, 2013), 14/263407 (“Non-Intrusive Monitoring” filed April 28, 2014), and Patent Cooperation Treaty Serial No. PCT/US2016/057165 (“Noncontact Power Sensing” filed October 14, 2016) during the term of the agreement. The term of the agreement was from the effective date until the expiration or abandonment of all issued patents and filed patent applications licensed pursuant to the agreement, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the agreement.

 

 

 

 

 41 
 

 

Under the agreement, we were required to make a first commercial sale of a “LICENSED PRODUCT” and/or a first commercial performance of a “LICENSED PROCESS,” as defined in the agreement, on or before September 30, 2018. We had negotiated revenue targets with MIT which would determine annual royalty payments. The 2018 minimum revenue target for the sale of products and services incorporating the MIT technology was $100,000. This minimum revenue amount would increase in subsequent years.

  

Within 30 days of invoicing, a non-refundable license issue fee of $10,000 was paid by us to MIT. Pursuant to the agreement, we were required to pay to MIT additional patent maintenance fees in years beyond 2018.

 

Pursuant to the agreement, we were required to pay to MIT a running royalty of 2% of “NET SALES,” as defined in the agreement made in the calendar years 2018, 2019, and 2020. For “NET SALES” made in the calendar year 2021 and every calendar year thereafter through the term of the agreement, we were required to pay to MIT a running royalty of 4%.

 

On October 31, 2018, we sent written notice of our intent to terminate the agreement with an effective date of termination of April 30, 2019. Since none of the technology licensed to us by MIT had been used by us in any of our products and we had been investing in the development of our own intellectual property, we determined the technology that was licensed from MIT wasn’t necessary in the near term. Due to this, the written notice sent by us expressed a desire by our management to renegotiate the terms of the agreement with MIT.

 

MIT declined to renegotiate the terms of the agreement and, on December 6, 2018, we received a notice of termination from MIT due to non-payment of fees. As of December 6, 2018, the agreement was terminated, fees are no longer accruing, interest is accruing and $76,284 in fees owed to MIT are still owing as of the date of this Prospectus. Despite the termination of the Agreement, we remain active with MIT as a member of the MIT Startup Exchange (STEX). The purpose of STEX is to promote collaboration and partnerships between MIT-connected startups and members of MIT’s Industrial Liaison Program. We remain open to future mutually acceptable agreements with MIT.

  

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink under the symbol “ITOX.” The table below sets forth for the periods indicated the quarterly high and low bid prices as reported by OTC Markets. Limited trading volume has occurred during these periods.

Our common stock is considered to be penny stock under rules promulgated by the SEC. Under these rules, broker-dealers participating in transactions in these securities must first deliver a risk disclosure document which describes risks associated with these stocks, broker-dealers’ duties, customers’ rights and remedies, market and other information, and make suitability determinations approving the customers for these stock transactions based on financial situation, investment experience and objectives. Broker-dealers must also disclose these restrictions in writing, provide monthly account statements to customers, and obtain specific written consent of each customer. With these restrictions, the likely effect of designation as a penny stock is to decrease the willingness of broker-dealers to make a market for the stock, to decrease the liquidity of the stock and increase the transaction cost of sales and purchases of these stocks compared to other securities.

Holders

 

As of the close of business on February 8, 2023, we had approximately 153 holders of our common stock. The number of record holders was determined from the records of our transfer agent and does not include beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in the names of various security brokers, dealers, and registered clearing agencies. We have appointed IssuerDirect, 1981 East 4800 South, Suite 100, Salt Lake City, UT 84117, to act as transfer agent for the common stock.

 

Dividends

 

We have never declared a cash dividend on our common stock and our Board of Directors does not anticipate that we will pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, restrictions contained in our agreements and other factors which our Board of Directors deems relevant.

 

We are obligated to pay dividends to certain holders of our preferred stock which we pay out of legally available funds from time to time or reach arrangements with our holders of preferred stock to convert limited quantities of preferred stock at favorable conversion prices in lieu of dividend payments.

 

Rule 10B-18 Transactions

 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, there were no repurchases of the Company’s common stock by the Company.

Impact of COVID-19

 

During the year 2020, the effects of a new coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and related actions to attempt to control its spread began to impact our business. The impact of COVID-19 on our operating results for the year ended December 31, 2020 was limited, in all material respects, due to the government mandated numerous measures, including closures of businesses, limitations on movements of individuals and goods, and the imposition of other restrictive measures, in its efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 within the country.

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated COVID-19 as a global pandemic. Governments around the world have mandated, and continue to introduce, orders to slow the transmission of the virus, including but not limited to shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, significant restrictions on travel, as well as work restrictions that prohibit many employees from going to work. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021

 

The Company reported $23,003 and $5,280 in service revenues with cost of sales of $5,140 and $1,275 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

The Company incurred general and administrative expenses (“G&A”) of $158,818 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $208,531 for the same comparable period in 2021. The net decrease of $49,713 in G&A expenses resulted primarily due to a reduction in professional fees paid to consultants of $40,778 and reduction in payroll and stock compensation earned by the Officers and Director of $2,946. The Company recorded a gain of $125,568 due to the change in the fair market value of derivative liabilities during the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to a loss of $18,103 for the same comparable period in 2021. The Company recorded interest income of $5,986 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to the unsecured promissory note extended to a third party earning 10% interest per annum compared to $0 interest earned in the comparable period of 2021. The Company recorded an interest expense of $14,913 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $100,701 for the same comparable period in 2021. The interest expense decreased because the Company did not record any amortization of debt discount during the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to recording $82,329 in amortization of debt discounts to interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

 

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

 

The Company recorded $39,503 and $5,280 of revenues and $5,650 and $1,275 in cost of sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

The Company incurred general and administrative expenses (“G&A”) of $543,449 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $737,746 for the same comparable period in 2021. The decrease in G&A expenses resulted primarily due to reduction in professional and consulting fees of $316,400 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same comparable period in 2021. This reduction of expense was offset by an increase in payroll costs of $99,723 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same comparable period in 2021. The Company recorded a gain of $277,424 due to the change in the fair market value of derivative liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to a gain of $172,558 for the same comparable period in 2021. The Company recorded a loss on derivatives of $207,447 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, due to the change in mark to market of the fair value of derivative liabilities. In addition, the Company recorded a gain of $120,000 on the extinguishment of debt upon agreeing with the note holders to a reduction in the debt conversion price during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, whereas, no such gain or loss was recorded for the same comparable period in 2022. The Company recorded an interest income of $11,647 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $0 for the same comparable period in 2021. The Company recorded interest expense of $278,605 and $333,039 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The interest expense decreased due to the Company recording reduction in the fair market value of the derivative liability to interest expense. As a result, the Company recorded a loss of $775,217 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to a loss of $818,211 for the same comparable period in 2021.

Our revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 exceeded the total revenue for 2021, as was anticipated in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2022.  

 

We continue to gain traction with strategic partners, customers, and potential customers in our key two markets: Smart Manufacturing / Industry 4.0 and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). These are both high growth markets. Market research shows the worldwide Industry 4.0 market in 2021 was $64.9 billion USD and is projected to be $165.5 billion USD by 2026 (20.6% CAGR).[1]  Also, the worldwide Structural Health Monitoring industry was $2.0 billion USD in 2021 and will reach $4.0 billion USD by 2027 (CAGR of 14.6%).[2] Through our collaborations with Aretas Sensor Networks, we have access to a third market, Indoor Air Quality Monitors, which is estimated at $3.7 billion USD in 2020 and projected to reach $6.4 billion USD in 2027, growing at 8.2% CAGR.[3]

 

Year to Date Accomplishments in 2022:

 

  · We announced in the first quarter that we entered into an NDA with an EU Electrical Technology Original Equipment Manufacturer. Collaborative discussions continue and we expect this agreement to lead to new business in due time.
     
  · The Canadian Indoor Air Quality Sensor and IIoT Platform company, Aretas Sensor Networks, with whom we entered into an NDA in the first quarter, continues to progress as well. In addition to the initial collaborative agreement signed in the first quarter, we signed an algorithm development contract in the second quarter and recorded revenue from that contract in this quarter. We also signed a co-marketing and co-selling agreement with Aretas in this quarter and expect revenue from sales commissions in the fourth quarter.
     
  · Our Structural Health Monitoring business continues to gather momentum, receiving a contract extension with a New England State’s DOT for Bridge Monitoring announced in the first quarter for monitoring throughout the second quarter. A proposal for monitoring and equipment upgrades for the 2022 to 2023 fiscal year was submitted in the second quarter and received the formal contract in the third quarter of 2022. We have recorded revenue on this contract since July and will continue to receive revenue from the contract through June of 2023.
     
  · We continue to secure significant and supportive funding.
     
  · Our full time Machine Learning Engineer, hired in the first quarter, continues to expand our focus on the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) aspects of our business
     
  · Our CEO, Cliff Emmons, and COO, Karen McNemar, both renewed their employment contracts in June, ensuring stable experienced leadership focused on long-term growth.

 

We believe the underlying strengths of the Company are gathering momentum for expected growth: an experienced leadership team; contributions of our new Machine Learning Engineer, a PhD level Machine Learning Algorithms specialist; strong execution on contracts to date; and a steady focus on prospecting, submitting proposals, and securing Proof of Concepts (POCs). Those completed contracts to date have produced two successful pilot programs: one on manufacturing operations for our Fortune 500 Pharma customer, and a pilot with a full year of data collection and analysis on our structural health monitoring program for a New England state’s DOT – which has now led to a bridge monitoring contract extension, which includes equipment upgrades and additional analysis. Our continued focus on high potential growth markets (specifically Biotech, Pharma, and Medical Device Operations, Structural Health Monitoring, and Indoor Air Quality), has yielded numerous prospects for future growth. Specifically, we secured an AI – Machine Learning sub-contract and initiated a POC for our IAQ strategic partner in the second quarter and signed a co-marketing and co-selling agreement with the same strategic partner in the third quarter.

We are pleased that the momentum of the second quarter’s revenue continued into the third quarter and expect it will continue through the fourth quarter. Our third quarter revenue exceeded our second quarter revenue and expect revenue for the second half of 2022 will exceed that generated in the first half of 2022. In total, we expect that total revenue for 2022 will be approaching 2019 levels. This is due to the hard work of the past year that has resulted in two successful pilots, in two of our key target industry verticals. We now have data and algorithms to build strong use cases and marketing collateral that can be leveraged to extend contracts with current customers and win additional contracts with new customers in all targeted industry segments. Also, the strength of the collaboration agreements with both Aingura IIoT, S.G. and Aretas Sensor Networks have substantially bolstered financial stability, added talent breadth and depth, and complimentary industry segment experience. Furthermore, the continued liquidity of our stock has attracted funding opportunities, and access to additional capital has and will enable funding of business development, intellectual property development, staff augmentation, and inorganic growth opportunities. Combined with our underlying strengths: experienced leadership; savvy technological talent, and operational execution excellence; we believe these revenue goals are achievable.

 

As of September 30, 2022, the total principal amount owed to Sergey Gogin was $205,000. For more information on the note, please see NOTE 6 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE of the footnotes to the consolidated, unaudited financial statements.

 

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020

 

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we earned revenues of $11,280 and incurred related cost of sales of $2,040. We incurred professional fees of $508,153, payroll costs of $301,707, and other general and administrative expenses of $79,282. We recorded net other expenses of $161,333, net of other income of $269,666, primarily due to gain on change in the fair market value of derivative liability of $102,966, gain on extinguishment of debt of $120,000, other income of $46,7000 consisting of forgiveness of PPP Loan of $36,700 and EIDL advance of $10,000, offset by interest expense of $430,999 on notes payable due to amortization of debt discount and interest payable on notes payable. We also recorded $22,320 as preferred stock dividend on convertible preferred stock for the year ended December 31, 2021. As a result, we incurred a net loss of $1,063,554 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Comparatively, for the year ended December 31, 2020, we earned revenues of $36,771 and incurred related cost of sales of $15,044. We incurred professional fees of $802,135, payroll costs of $137,220, and other general and administrative expenses of $109,016. We incurred other expenses of $1,208,467, net of other income of $5,000, primarily due to the loss on change in the fair market value of derivative liability of $220,325, interest expense of $737,541 on notes payable due to amortization of debt discount and interest payable on notes payable, loss on the derivatives and loss on extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2020. We also recorded $1,663 as preferred stock dividend on convertible preferred stock for the year ended December 31, 2020. As a result, we incurred a net loss of $2,236,774 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

During the current and prior period, we did not record an income tax benefit due to the uncertainty associated with the Company’s ability to utilize the deferred tax assets.

 

Year over Year (YoY) revenue was less in 2021 than 2020. This was due to several reasons, including: the negative business impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic and longer than anticipated customer acquisition times. These two factors led to cash flow issues, which in turn led to additional and aging accounts payable. Our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2021 disclosed risks of ongoing concerns, and those concerns still exist. Despite cash flow issues, cost cutting and capital infusions allowed us to weather a difficult year in 2021. Despite these headwinds, our achievements in 2021 were significant: The successful pilot for our Fortune 500 Pharma customer allowed our strategic partner, Aingura IIoT, S.G., to win an initial contract with ArcelorMittal, which manufactures steel in 17 countries. That contract resulted in subcontracts for AI and Machine Learning services for our company and recorded as revenue in our third and fourth quarters. Our successful full year of structural health monitoring and analysis on several bridges for a New England state’s DOT pilot resulted in new business for our partner, Aingura IIoT, S.G. and anticipated future business for our company. Aingura won a Phase 1 contract for a Spanish Railway Bridge Monitoring project, and Oxys won a commitment from our current customer, the New England state’s DOT, to extend our bridge monitoring contract in 2022. These accomplishments are proof that our successful pilots in our key industry verticals have resulted in new business and will continue to do so in 2022 and beyond. Also, the strength of the Aingura IIoT, S.G. collaboration agreement has bolstered financial stability, added talent breadth and depth, and provides complimentary industry segment experience. Furthermore, liquidity of our stock has attracted funding that gives us access to additional capital. This capital will enable the funding of business development, staff augmentation, and inorganic growth opportunities.

It is anticipated that 2022 YoY revenue growth will meet or exceed that of 2021. This is due to these aforementioned reasons: the strength of the Aingura IIoT, S.G. collaboration, two successful pilots in our key target industries, use cases and marketing collateral from the pilots’ data and algorithms, experienced leadership, savvy technological talent, and operational execution excellence. Our continued focus on high potential growth markets (specifically Biotech, Pharma, and Medical Device Operations), have yielded numerous prospects for future growth. Furthermore, the strength of our target market, Industry 4.0, continues: Market research shows the worldwide Industry 4.0 market in 2021 was $64.9 billion and is projected to be $165.5 billion by 2026 (20.6% CAGR). We believe our strengths in these markets will yield breakthroughs in new contracts with current customers, as well as new customers in all targeted industry segments. By combining the resulting organic growth with inorganic growth, we believe these revenue goals are achievable.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources as of September 30, 2022 Compared to December 31, 2021

 

At September 30, 2022, the Company had a cash balance of $34,284, which represents a $12,537 reduction from the $46,821 balance at December 31, 2021. This reduction was primarily the result of cash provided by the sale of common stock of $481,657 and Series B preferred stock (net of offering costs of $9,633) in the aggregate amount of $187,000, offset by net cash used in operating activities of $471,561 due to acceleration in product development activities, and cash used in investing activities by executing a note receivable of $200,000 from Aretas. The Company’s working capital at September 30, 2022 was a deficit of $1,473,996, as compared to a working capital deficit of $1,108,786 at December 31, 2021.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations of $775,217 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and has an accumulated deficit of $9,005,473 at September 30, 2022, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management believes the Company will continue to incur losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the foreseeable future and will need additional equity or debt financing to sustain its operations until it can achieve profitability and positive cash flows, if ever. Management plans to seek additional debt and/or equity financing for the Company but cannot assure that such financing will be available on acceptable terms. At the Company’s current rate of expenditure, the Company anticipates being able to maintain current operations for three months; however, management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds not provided by operations through loans or through additional sales of equity securities. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this additional capital or in achieving profitable operations.

 

The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to ultimately attain profitable operations, generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations, and obtain additional financing as may be required. Our auditors have included a going concern qualification in their auditors’ report dated April 14, 2022. Such a going concern qualification may make it more difficult for us to raise funds when needed. The outcome of this uncertainty cannot be assured.

 

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in implementing its business plan or that the successful implementation of such business plan will actually improve the Company’s operating results.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources as of December 31, 2021 Compared as of December 31, 2020

 

At December 31, 2021, we had a cash balance of $46,821, which represents a $56,253 decrease from the $103,074 cash balance at December 31, 2020. This decrease was primarily as a result of net cash used in operating activities of $628,103, cash received from convertible notes payable of $521,850 and cash received from the sale of Series B Preferred Stock of $50,000. Our working capital deficit at December 31, 2021 was $1,108,787, as compared to a working capital deficit of $2,665,436 at December 31, 2020, respectively.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we incurred a net loss of $1,063,554. Net cash flows used in operating activities was $628,103 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred a net loss of $2,236,774. Net cash flows used in operating activities was $117,138 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash flows provided by financing activities were $571,850, consisting of cash received from the issuance of Convertible Notes payable of $521,850 and cash proceeds from sale of Series B Preferred Stock of $50,000, respectively.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash flows provided by financing activities were $196,000, consisting of cash received from the issuance of Convertible Notes payable of $129,300, cash proceeds from sale of Series B Preferred Stock of $130,000, cash payments on notes payable of $100,000, and cash received from the PPP of $36,700.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we have incurred net loss from operations of $1,063,554 for the year ended December 31, 2021, and net loss of $2,236,774 for the year ended December 31, 2020, and have an accumulated deficit of $8,544,232 as of December 31, 2021, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2020, the FASB 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, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2023, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its financial statements.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB and do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standard if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

 

 

 

 

 51 
 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

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

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. Certain specified reduced reporting and other regulatory requirements that are available to public companies that are emerging growth companies. These provisions include:

 

  1. an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
  2. an exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they would apply to private companies;
  3. an exemption from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about our audit and our financial statements; and
  4. reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements.

 

We have elected to take advantage of the exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to public companies required to adopt these new requirements.

The term of the Emmons Agreement is for three years beginning as of the effective date, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the agreement and is automatically renewable for one-year terms upon the consent of the parties. The services to be provided by Mr. Emmons pursuant to the Emmons Agreement are those customary for the positions in which he is serving.

 

Mr. Emmons shall receive a monthly fee of $15,000 which accrues unless converted into shares of Common Stock of the Company at a conversion rate specified in the Emmons Agreement. Until the Company closes a minimum $500,000 capital raise, the monthly fee accrues and, upon the closing of such a capital raise, $5,000 of the monthly fee will be paid to Mr. Emmons in cash and the remainder will continue to accrue. Upon the closing of a capital raise of at least $2,000,000, the entire monthly fee will be paid to Mr. Emmons in cash and all accrued and unpaid monthly fees will be paid by the Company within one year of the closing of such a capital raise.

On June 12, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment effective January 1, 2020 (the “Emmons Amendment”) to the Emmons Agreement, pursuant to which, Sections 7(a) and 7(b) of the Emmons Agreement were amended to read as follows:

 

Fees. From January 1, 2020 until April 23, 2020, the Consultant shall be paid an hourly wage of $12.75 per hour for Services performed.

Conversion of Accrued and Unpaid Fees. At any time, the Consultant shall have the right to convert any accrued and unpaid Fees into shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Conversion Shares”). The conversion price shall equal 90% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 10%) (the “Conversion Price”). “Market Price” means the average of the Trading Prices (as defined below) for the shares of Common Stock of the Company during the thirty (30) day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the Conversion Date. “Trading Price” and “Trading Prices” means, for any security as of any date, the closing trade price of the Company’s Common Stock on the OTC Pink, OTCQB or applicable trading market as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Consultant or, if the OTC Pink is not the principal trading market for such security, the trading price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no trading price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the trading prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets” by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. “Conversion Date” shall mean the date of receipt by the Company of the completed and executed Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

Pursuant to the Emmons Amendment, Section 11 was also eliminated from the Emmons Agreement.

 

On June 4, 2021, the Emmons Agreement terminated pursuant to its terms.

Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares).

Director Independence

 

We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “independent directors.” Although we have not have adopted the independence standards any national securities exchange to determine the independence of directors, the NYSE MKT LLC provides that a person will be considered an independent director if he or she is not an officer of the company and is, in the view of our board of directors, free of any relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment. Under this standard, our board of directors has determined that Mr. Mitta would meet this standard, and therefore, would be considered to be independent.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN

 

Unless otherwise indicated, any reference to “the Company”, “our company”, “we”, “us”, or “its” refers to IIOT-OXYS, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and as applicable to its wholly-owned subsidiaries, OXYS Corporation, a Nevada corporation, and HereLab, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

 

IIOT-OXYS, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) was established for the purpose of designing, building, testing, and selling Edge Computing Systems for the Industrial Internet. The Company is currently devoting substantially all its efforts in identifying, developing and marketing engineered products, software and services for applications in the Industrial Internet which involves collecting and processing data collected from a wide variety of industrial systems and machines.

 

The Company was incorporated in the state of New Jersey on October 1, 2003 under the name of Creative Beauty Supply Corporation and commenced operations as of January 1, 2004. On November 30, 2007, the Board of Directors approved a plan to dispose of its wholesale and retail beauty supply business. On May 18, 2015, the Company changed its name to Gotham Capital Holdings. From January 1, 2009 until July 28, 2017, the Company had no operations. On March 16, 2017, the Board of Directors approved a name change to “IIOT-OXYS, Inc.” and authorized a change of domicile from New Jersey to Nevada.

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

During the period ended September 30, 2022, the effects of a new coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and related actions to attempt to control its spread began to impact our business. The impact of COVID-19 on our operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was limited, in all material respects, due to the government mandated numerous measures, including closures of businesses, limitations on movements of individuals and goods, and the imposition of other restrictive measures, in its efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 within the country.

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated COVID-19 as a global pandemic. Governments around the world have mandated, and continue to introduce, orders to slow the transmission of the virus, including but not limited to shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, significant restrictions on travel, as well as work restrictions that prohibit many employees from going to work. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company. The financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has suffered continuing operating losses, has a working capital deficit of $1,473,996, used cash flows in operating activities of $471,561, and has an accumulated deficit of $9,005,473 as of September 30, 2022. These factors, among others, raise a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

 

 

 F-7 
 

 

Management believes that the Company will be able to achieve a satisfactory level of liquidity to meet the Company’s obligations for the next twelve months by generating cash through additional borrowings and/or sale of equity securities, as needed. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient liquidity to maintain its operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in the understanding of the Company’s financial statements. These accounting policies conform to GAAP in all material respects and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information, and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) with respect to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements for September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, include the accounts of Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries OXYS Corporation and HereLab, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the prior periods presented have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the valuation of accounts payable, accrued liabilities and payable to related parties. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company reported a cash balance of $34,284 and $46,821 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

 

 

 

 F-8 
 

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Trade accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying potential troubled accounts and by using historical experience and future expectations applied to an aging of accounts. Trade accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. The Company recorded accounts receivable of $16,380 and $11,280 at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and no allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed necessary as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company regularly reviews the carrying value and estimated lives of its long-lived assets to determine whether indicators of impairment may exist that warrant adjustments to the carrying value or estimated useful lives. The determinants used for this evaluation include management’s estimate of the asset’s ability to generate positive income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods as well as the strategic significance of the assets to the Company’s business objectives.

 

Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated periods benefited and are reviewed when appropriate for possible impairment.

  

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

 

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible note and preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenue is derived primarily from providing services under contractual agreements. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) which was adopted on January 1, 2018.

 

According to ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue based on the following criteria:

 

  · Identification of a contract or contracts, with a customer.
  · Identification of the performance obligations in the contract.
  · Determination of contract price.
  · Allocation of transaction price to the performance obligation.
  · Recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company used a practical expedient available under ASC 606-10-65-1(f)4 that permits it to consider the aggregate effect of all contract modifications that occurred before the beginning of the earliest period presented when identifying satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations.

 

The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling activities as cost of sales. Additionally, the Company has elected to record revenue net of sales and other similar taxes.

 

 

 

 F-9 
 

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents which are generally not collateralized. The Company’s policy is to place its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions, in order to limit the amount of credit exposure. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), up to $250,000. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no amounts in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company’s consolidated financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable and related parties payable. The Company believes that the recorded values of all the financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provide that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions.” When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

Convertible Debt and Convertible Preferred Stock

 

When the Company issues convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, it first evaluates the balance sheet classification of the convertible instrument in its entirety to determine whether the instrument should be classified as a liability under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and second whether the conversion feature should be accounted for separately from the host instrument. A conversion feature of a convertible debt instrument or certain convertible preferred stock would be separated from the convertible instrument and classified as a derivative liability if the conversion feature, were it a standalone instrument, meets the definition of an “embedded derivative” in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Generally, characteristics that require derivative treatment include, among others, when the conversion feature is not indexed to the Company’s equity, as defined in ASC 815-40, or when it must be settled either in cash or by issuing stock that is readily convertible to cash. When a conversion feature meets the definition of an embedded derivative, it would be separated from the host instrument and classified as a derivative liability carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, with any changes in its fair value recognized currently in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Effective January 1, 2022, we early adopted ASU 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” using the modified retrospective method of adoption. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470- 20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options, for convertible instruments. Under ASU 2020-06, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. By removing those separation models, the interest rate of convertible debt instruments typically will be closer to the coupon interest rate when applying the guidance in Topic 835, Interest. We now account for our Convertible Notes as single liabilities measured at amortized cost. As a result, the adoption of the guidance had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, resulting in adjustments of $371,125, $313,976 and $57,149 to the opening balance of additional paid-in capital, retained earnings, and long-term debt, respectively, as of January 1, 2022.
