ORIGINCLEAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-UNAUDITED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2023
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of OriginClear, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with
the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring
adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September
30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. For further information
refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The Company is developing an
outsourced water treatment business called Water On Demand (“WOD”), which it conducts through its wholly owned subsidiary,
Water on Demand, Inc. (“WODI”). The WOD model intends to offer private businesses water self-sustainability as a service,
the ability to pay for water treatment and purification services on a per-gallon basis, with a percentage of net profits paid to investors
and stakeholders. This is commonly known as Design-Build-Own-Operate or “DBOO”. In addition to WODI, four subsidiaries were
originally established to house capital dedicated to this program. For efficiency, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the
Company consolidated the funds into a single WOD Subsidiary. As of the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, the Company received
net aggregate funding in the amount of $516,300 through the sale of its Series Y Preferred Stock dedicated to the Water on Demand program.
The Company is currently evaluating pilot opportunities to enable outsourced water treatment as a managed service and that is paid by
the gallon as an alternative to having to come up with significant up-front capital for in-house wasterwater treatment. While these evaluations
are ongoing, without guarantee as to when or if these will take place, the Company is placing funds from the sale of Series Y Preferred
Stock into various company initiatives to support WOD. There is no guarantee that these funds can be reallocated for a WOD water-as-a-service
system. In the interim, while there is no obligation to do so, the Company has made distributions of funds to Series Y holders in lieu
of share of profits, paid after the end of each quarter.
As
disclosed in its corporate presentation, available at www.originclear.com/investing#companypresentation, the Company intends to launch
a first pilot deployment of WOD in 2024. (See graph).
Reinforcement
of Water On Demand Inc. with operating businesses
Because WOD is still in early
stage development, the Company combined its Modular Water Systems division (MWS) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Progressive Water Systems
Inc. (PWT) with Water On Demand, Inc. Due to its operating history, PWT became the master corporate entity and subsequently was renamed
Water On Demand, Inc.
Thus,
Water On Demand Inc. was absorbed into PWT, as was OriginClear’s in-house business unit MWS. Subsequently, Progressive Water Treatment
Inc. was renamed Water On Demand, Inc.
WODI
as it is now structured, is composed of two operating units, MWS and PWT, which are in revenue and cash-flow profitable, plus WOD which
is a development stage business. (see graph)
This
process is discussed in detail in the Overview of Business Section below.
On October 24, 2023, the Company announced
a Business Combination Agreement (BCA) for the acquisition of WODI by Fortune Rising Corporation (NASDAQ: FRLA). The Company has a majority
ownership of WODI, going into the BCA.
The Company’s mission going
forward is:
| - | For its current WODI program, to
support the BCA process, provide management services to WODI and the potential post-merger
entity, initiate non-binding agreements for the acquisition of related businesses by WODI
or the post-merger entity, which will depend on the outcome of the BCA process. |
| - | For its own account, to accelerate
for new businesses that it may create (as it did with MWS in 2018), acquire (as it did with
PWT in 2015) or strategically partner with. For this new phase, the Company may engage in
projects outside the water industry, such as in conventional or blockchain finance projects. |
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities
and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result
if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. These factors, among others raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2022 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue
as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, achieving a level of profitable
operations and receiving additional cash infusions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company obtained funds from
the issuance of convertible note agreements and from sale of its preferred stock. Management believes this funding will continue from
its’ current investors and from new investors. During this period, the Company also generated revenue of $5,200,918 and has standing
purchase orders and open invoices with customers, which will provide funds for operations. Management believes the existing shareholders,
the prospective new investors and future sales will provide the additional cash needed to meet the Company’s obligations as they
become due and will allow the development of its core business operations. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be
available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional
financing, it may contain restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders,
in case of equity financing.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES |
This summary of significant accounting
policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and
notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting
policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the
preparation of the financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of OriginClear, Inc. and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Progressive Water Treatment, Inc., Water
on Demand Inc., Water On Demand1, Inc., Water On Demand2, Inc., Water On Demand3, Inc. and OriginClear Technologies, Ltd. All material
intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities. As of September 30, 2023, the Company reorganized
Water On Demand2, Inc. and Water On Demand3, Inc and combined the subsidiaries into Water On Demand1, Inc.
Cash and Cash Equivalent
The Company considers all highly liquid
investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. During the reorganization of Water On Demand1, Inc.,
Water On Demand2, Inc., and Water On Demand3, Inc., the restricted cash balance on the financial statements as of December 31, 2022 was
combined with the overall cash balance of the consolidated Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used to review the Company’s impairments and estimations of long-lived
assets, revenue recognition on percentage of completion type contracts, allowances for uncollectible accounts, warranty reserves, inventory
valuation, derivative liabilities and other conversion features, fair value investments, valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances
and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions
that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions.
Net Earnings (Loss) per Share Calculations
Basic loss per share calculation is computed
by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings
per share is computed similarly to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include securities or other contracts
to issue common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares
were dilutive. The Company’s diluted earnings per share were the same as the basic loss per share for the nine months ended
September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the
Company generating a loss.
| |
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, | |
| |
2023 | | |
2022 | |
Loss to common shareholders (Numerator) | |
$ | (18,180,762 | ) | |
$ | (33,894,246 | ) |
| |
| | | |
| | |
Basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding (Denominator) | |
| 1,262,285,766 | | |

| | | |
| | |
Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding (Denominator) | |
| 1,262,285,766 | | |
| 589,675,480 | |
The Company excludes issuable shares from
warrants, convertible notes and preferred stock, if their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive and includes the issuable shares
if their impact is dilutive.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when services are
performed, and at the time of shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed
to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.
Revenues and related costs on construction
contracts are recognized as the performance obligations for work are satisfied over time in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, revenue and associated profit, will be recognized as the
customer obtains control of the goods and services promised in the contract (i.e., performance obligations). All un-allocable indirect
costs and corporate general and administrative costs are charged to the periods as incurred. However, in the event a loss on a contract
is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss as it is determined.
Revisions in cost and profit estimates
during the course of the contract are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts for the revisions become known. Provisions
for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance,
job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements,
may result in revisions to costs and income, which are recognized in the period the revisions are determined.
Contract receivables are recorded on contracts
for amounts currently due based upon progress billings, as well as retention, which are collectible upon completion of the contracts.
Accounts payable to material suppliers and subcontractors are recorded for amounts currently due based upon work completed or materials
received, as are retention due subcontractors, which are payable upon completion of the contract. General and administrative expenses
are charged to operations as incurred and are not allocated to contract costs.
Contract Receivable
The Company bills its customers in accordance
with contractual agreements. The agreements generally require billing to be on a progressive basis as work is completed. Credit is extended
based on evaluation of clients financial condition and collateral is not required. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts
for estimated losses that may arise if any customer is unable to make required payments. Management performs a quantitative and qualitative
review of the receivables past due from customers on a monthly basis. The Company records an allowance against uncollectible items for
each customer after all reasonable means of collection have been exhausted, and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The allowance
for doubtful accounts was $0 and $17,315 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The net contract receivable balance
was $1,478,505 and $2,479,123 at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Indefinite Lived Intangibles and Goodwill
Assets
The Company accounts for business combinations
under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase price
is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The
purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after
obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates.
The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized
as goodwill.
The Company tests for indefinite lived
intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with its policies, the Company performed a qualitative
assessment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and determined there
was no impairment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill.
Prepaid Expenses
The
Company records expenditures that have been paid in advance as prepaid expenses. The prepaid expenses are initially recorded as assets,
because they have future economic benefits, and are expensed at the time the benefits are realized. The prepaid expenses balance was $10,175
and $25,000 at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost.
Gain or loss is recognized upon disposal of property and equipment, and the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from
the accounts. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while expenditures for addition and betterment
are capitalized. Furniture and equipment are depreciated on the straight-line method and include the following categories:

Long-lived assets held and used by the
Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. In the event that the facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of any long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation
of recoverability would be performed following generally accepted accounting principles.
Depreciation expense during the nine months
ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, was $23,011 and $31,446, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company periodically issues stock options
and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts
for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board whereas the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts
for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the
date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments
is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In
certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants vest immediately and the total
stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.
Accounting for Derivatives
The Company evaluates all its financial
instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative
financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is
then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative
financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average series Binomial lattice option pricing models to value the derivative
instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates.
The classification of derivative instruments,
including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative
instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not the net-cash settlement of
the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments requires
disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not to recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that
value. As of September 30, 2023, the balances reported for cash, contract receivables, cost in excess of billing, prepaid expenses, accounts
payable, billing in excess of cost, and accrued expenses approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.
We adopted ASC Topic 820 for financial
instruments measured as fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair
value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is defined as the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy
gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and
the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
|
● |
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; |
|
|
|
|
● |
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
The following table presents certain investments
and liabilities of the Company’s financial assets measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s balance sheets
on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2023.

The derivative liabilities consist of $10,381,519
for convertible notes outstanding and $436,071 for warrants outstanding for an aggregate of $10,817,590.
The following is a reconciliation of the
derivative liability for which level 3 inputs were used in determining the approximate fair value:

Segment Reporting
The Company’s business currently
operates in one segment based upon the Company’s organizational structure and the way in which the operations are managed and evaluated.
Marketable Securities
The Company adopted ASU 2016-01, “Financial
Instruments – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 requires investments
(except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured
at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. It requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when
measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purpose, and separate presentation of financial assets and financial
liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset. It eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose
the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured
at amortized cost. The Company has evaluated the potential impact this standard may have on the condensed consolidated financial statements
and determined that it had a significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company accounts for its investment
in Water Technologies International, Inc. as available-for-sale securities, and the unrealized gain on the available-for-sale securities
is recognized in net income.
Licensing agreement
The Company analyzed the licensing agreement
using ASU 606 to determine the timing of revenue recognition. The licensing of the intellectual property (IP) is distinct from the non-license
goods or services and has significant standalone functionality that provides a benefit or value. The functionality will not change during
the license period due to the licensor’s activities. Because the significant standalone functionality is delivered immediately,
the revenue is generally recognized when the license is delivered.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior period financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the current financial statements for comparative purpose. There
was no material effect on the Company’s previously issued financial statements.
Work-in-Process
The Company recognizes as an asset the
accumulated costs for work-in-process on projects expected to be delivered to customers. Work in Process includes the cost price of materials
and labor related to the construction of equipment to be sold to customers.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Management reviewed currently issued pronouncements
and does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material
effect on the accompanying condensed financial statements.

at any time at the conversion ratio of 50:1, or such other rate as determined by the Board, provided, however that at no time shall the
total number of issued and outstanding Series A preferred shares, on a converted basis, be less than ten percent (10%) (‘Dilution
Floor’) of the total authorized shares of common stock (on a fully diluted basis) based upon an anticipated sale of $20,000,000
in Series Y shares. The dilution floor shall be adjusted proportionately based upon the actual number of Series Y shares sold. On November
7, 2022, WODI filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and effected a 20:1 reverse stock split with respect to the common
shares and the Series A preferred shares.
During the nine months ended September
30, 2023, WODI issued an aggregate of 6,791 shares of its Series A preferred stock to certain holders of the Company’s Series Y
preferred stock at par value of $0.0001. Due to WODI’s merger with PWT on September 21, 2023 (See Footnote 9), all Series
A preferred shares were fully converted to common stock in WODI. As of September 30, 2023,
there were 0 shares of Series A preferred stock issued and outstanding.
Valuation
The Series A preferred shares were valued
by an independent valuation expert based on a Probability Weighted Expected Return Methodology (“PWERM”) with an underlying
Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) analysis.
The following parameters were considered
in this analysis:
|
1. |
Two settlement options - either a merger occurs with the SPAC and the likelihood of it occurring or the merger does not occur. |
|
2. |
Three main tranches of valuation dates were considered based on the dates of bulk issuances of shares. |
|
3. |
SPAC offer value – which was based on management’s representations of the terms under negotiation during the time of issuances. |
|
4. |
Base value of WODI – which was supported by a market analysis completed by management at the time of implementing the Reg A offering and a subsequent increase in base value in Q3, 2023 based on the estimated fair value of the Modular Water Systems assets contributed to the business and merger with PWT. |
|
5. |
Timing of a settlement event/conversion event for the Series A shares under the two settlement options. |
|
6. |
The expected outstanding issuance of Series Y and convertible debt as of settlement |
Based on the above, the value of WODI Series
A preferred shares were determined to be as follows:

value of $5.00 per share and are reserved for issuance to the holders of parent Company’s, OriginClear, Inc., Series X preferred
shares and other direct issuances at the discretion of the WODI board of directors. The holders of Series B preferred shares shall not
be entitled to dividends and shall not be entitled to a vote until such time as the Series B preferred shares are converted to common
shares. Each share of Series B preferred stock shall be convertible, at any time per terms of the Series B Certificate of Designation,

less than 2.5 percent (2.5%) (‘Dilution Floor’) of the total authorized shares of common stock (on a fully diluted basis)
based upon an anticipated issuance of $5,000,000 in Series B shares. The dilution floor shall be adjusted proportionately based upon the
actual number of Series B shares. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, WODI issued an aggregate of 538,400 shares of its Series
B preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001, to certain holders of the Company’s Series X preferred stock and holders of WODI

Stock to CEO

Executive Officer, Riggs Eckelberry, to create management incentives to improve the economic performance of the Company and to increase
its value and stock price. All shares issuable under the RSGAs are performance based shares. The RSGAs provides for the issuance
of up to an aggregate of 242,109,214 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Eckelberry provided certain milestones are met
in certain stages; a) If the Company’s consolidated gross revenue, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
consistently applied, equals or exceeds $15,000,000 for the trailing twelve month period as reported in the Company’s quarterly
or annual financial statements, the Company will issue up to an aggregate of 121,054,607 shares of its common stock; b) If the Company’s
consolidated operating profit (Operating Profit = Operating Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold - Operating Expenses - Depreciation &
Amortization), calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, equals or exceeds $1,500,000 for the trailing
twelve month period as reported in the Company’s SEC Reports, the Company will issue up to an aggregate of 121,054,607 shares
of its common stock. The Company has not recognized any costs associated with the milestones, because achievement is not probable.
As the performance goals are achieved, the shares shall become eligible for vesting and issuance.
Restricted
Stock to the Board, Employees and Consultants
Between
May 12, 2016, and August 4, 2022, the Company entered into Restricted Stock Grant Agreements (“the BEC RSGAs”) with its members
of the Board, employees, and consultants to create management incentives to improve the economic performance of the Company and to increase
its value and stock price. All shares issuable under the BEC RSGAs are performance based shares. The BEC RSGAs provide for the issuance of
up to 220,686,042 shares of the Company’s common stock to employees and consultants provided certain milestones are met
in certain stages; a) If the Company’s consolidated gross revenue, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
consistently applied, equals or exceeds $15,000,000 for the trailing twelve month period as reported in the Company’s quarterly
or annual financial statements, the Company will issue up to an aggregate of 110,343,021 shares of its common stock; b) If the Company’s
consolidated operating profit Operating Profit = Operating Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold - Operating Expenses - Depreciation &
Amortization), calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, equals or exceeds $1,500,000 for the trailing
twelve month period as reported as reported in the Company’s SEC reports, the Company will issue up to an aggregate of 110,343,021 shares
of its common stock. The Company has not recognized any costs associated with the milestones, because achievement is not probable. As
the performance goals are achieved, the shares shall become eligible for vesting and issuance.
On
August 14, 2019, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the RSGAs and BEC RSGAs to include an alternative vesting schedule for
the Grantees and on January 26, 2022, the Company amended the procedures for processing the RSGAs and BEC RSGAs. Once a Grantee is eligible
to participate in alternate vesting, then they will be added to the list of alternate vestees, enlarging the pool of vestees among which, 10%
of stock sales that are allowed under the agreement is divided for the next year. The Company then (i) calculates the value of the
Company common stock traded in the year immediately prior to the vesting year, using daily adjusted close and volume, as quoted on the
public securities trading market on which the Company’s common stock is then traded (ii) determines the cost basis of the shares,
which shall be the closing price quoted on the public securities trading market, quoted on the first trading day of the vesting year which
will be the grantee’s cost basis, and (iii) applies the 10% calculation and divides it into the number of qualifying alternate vestees,
giving the gross number of shares available to each Grantee. For each alternate vestee for each year in which there occurs a vesting or
a potential vesting, the Company (i) does a 90-day lookback from the first day of the latest vesting month, to limit cumulative vesting
of shares for each alternate vestee for the 90-day period to 1% of total Company shares of common stock outstanding for the period, using
the then current figure for shares outstanding at the time of the lookback; (ii) places the excess shares (the “Overlimit Shares”)
in suspense for issuance in the next 90-day period so that in each future 90-day period they may be issued, and (iii) if on the 90-day
lookback, cumulative issuances are less than 1% of shares outstanding, the Company will add the shares from previous 90-day lookback,
if any. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will not record any Overlimit Shares as vested until such as time as they have been finally
issued. If the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the shares are vested is less than the fair market
value of the Company’s common stock on the effective date of the RSGA or BEC RSGA, then the number of vested shares issuable (assuming
all conditions are satisfied) shall be increased so that the aggregate fair market value of vested shares issuable on the vesting date
equals the aggregate fair market value that such number of shares would have had on the effective date. Upon the occurrence of a Company
performance goal, the right to participate in the alternate vesting schedule will terminate, and the vesting of the remaining unvested
shares will be as set forth under the restricted stock award agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, per electing
and qualifying under the alternative vesting schedule, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,754,073 shares of Company’s common stock
relating to the RSGAs and an aggregate of 8,830,859 shares of Company’s common stock relating to
the BEC RSGAs.

On
various dates from November 2014 through April 2015, the Company issued unsecured convertible promissory notes (the “2014-2015 Notes”),
that matured on various dates and were extended for an additional sixty (60) months from the effective date of each Note. The 2014-2015
Notes bear interest at 10% per year. The maturity dates were extended to November 2023 through April 2024. The 2014-2015 Notes may be
converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at conversion prices ranging from the lesser of $4,200 to $9,800 (subject to
adjustment for stock splits, dividends, combinations and other similar transactions) or 50% of the lowest trade price on any trade day
following issuance of the 2014-2015 Notes. In addition, for as long as the 2014-2015 Notes or other convertible notes in effect between
the purchaser and the Company are outstanding, if the Company issues any security with terms more favorable than the terms of the 2014-2015
Notes or such other convertible notes or a term was not similarly provided to the purchaser of the 2014-2015 Notes or such other convertible
notes, then such more favorable or additional term shall, at the purchaser’s option, become part of the 2014-2015 Notes and such
other convertible notes. The conversion feature of the 2014-2015 Notes was considered a derivative in accordance with current accounting
guidelines because of the reset conversion features of the 2014-2015 Notes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company
has issued 55,788,402 shares upon conversion of principal in the amount of $91,000, plus accrued interest of $76,365. As of September
30, 2023, the 2014-2015 Notes had an aggregate remaining balance of $683,700 of which $615,000, is short term and $68,700 is long term.
The
unsecured convertible promissory notes (the “OID Notes”) had an aggregate remaining balance of $184,124, plus accrued interest
of $13,334. The OID Notes included an original issue discount and one-time interest, which has been fully amortized. The OID Notes matured
on June 30, 2023, which were extended to June 30, 2028. The OID Notes were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock
at a conversion price initially of $30,620. After the amendment, the conversion price changed to the lesser of $5,600 per share, or b)
fifty percent (50%) of the lowest trade price of common stock recorded since the original effective date of this note, or c) the lowest
effective price per share granted to any person or entity after the effective date. The conversion feature of the OID Notes was considered
a derivative in accordance with current accounting guidelines, because of the reset conversion features of the OID Notes. There was a
change in the OID Note to accrue interest on a monthly basis. As of September 30, 2023, the remaining balance on the OID Notes was $62,275,
which is long term.
The
Company issued various, unsecured convertible promissory notes (the “2015 Notes”), on various dates with the last of the 2015

on February 2024 through March 2024, and April 2024 through August 2024. The 2015 Notes bear interest at 10% per year. The 2015 Notes
are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at conversion prices ranging from the lesser of $1,400 to $5,600 (subject
to adjustment for stock splits, dividends, combinations and other similar transactions) or 50% of the lowest trade price on any trade
day following issuance of the 2015 Notes. The conversion feature of the 2015 Notes was considered a derivative in accordance with current
accounting guidelines because of the reset conversion features of the 2015 Notes. As of September 30, 2023, the 2015 Notes had an aggregate
remaining balance of $1,200,000, which is short term.
The
Company issued a convertible note (the “Dec 2015 Note”) in exchange for accounts payable in the amount of $432,048, which
could be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock after December 31, 2015. The Dec 2015 Note was accounted for under
ASC 470, whereby, a beneficial conversion feature was recorded at time of issuance. The Dec 2015 Note did not meet the criteria of a derivative,
and was accounted for as a beneficial conversion feature, which was amortized over the life of the Dec 2015 Note and recognized as interest
expense in the financial statements. On January 1, 2016, the Dec 2015 Note met the criteria of a derivative and was accounted for under
ASC 815. The Dec 2015 Note has zero stated interest rate, and the conversion price shall be equal to 75% of the average three lowest last
sale prices traded during the 25 trading days immediately prior to conversion. As of September 30, 2023, the remaining balance on the
Dec 2015 Note was $167,048, which is short term.

and was accounted for under ASC 815. The Sep 2016 Note has zero stated interest rate, and the conversion price shall be equal to 75% of
the average three lowest last sale prices traded during the 25 trading days immediately prior to conversion. The Sep 2016 Note did not
meet the criteria of a derivative at the date of the issuance, and was accounted for as a beneficial conversion feature, which was amortized
over the life of the Sep 2016 Note and recognized as interest expense in the financial statements. The conversion feature of the Sep 2016
Note was considered a derivative in accordance with current accounting guidelines because of the reset conversion feature of the Sep 2016
Note. As of September 30, 2023, the remaining balance on the Sep 2016 Note was $430,896, which is short term.
The
Company issued two (2) unsecured convertible promissory notes (the “Apr & May 2018 Notes”), in the aggregate amount of
$300,000 on April 2, 2018 and May 31, 2018. The Apr & May 2018 Notes had maturity dates of April 2, 2019 and May 31, 2019, respectively.
The Apr & May 2018 Notes bear interest at 10% per year. The Apr & May 2018 Notes may be converted into shares of the Company’s
common stock at a variable conversion price of 50% of the lesser of the lowest trading price twenty-five (25) trading days prior to conversion.
The conversion feature of the Apr & May 2018 Notes was considered a derivative in accordance with current accounting guidelines because
of the reset conversion features of the Notes. On March 13, 2019, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the investor in
the amount of $570,000, based on the outstanding balance due and payable under the Apr & May 2018 Notes. The Company set up a reserve
of 2,630,769 shares of common stock of the Company for issuance upon conversion by the investor of the amounts owed under the Notes, in
accordance with the terms of the Notes, including, but not limited to the beneficial ownership limitations contained in the Notes. In
addition to the foregoing, upon the sale by the investor of the settlement shares as delivered to the investor by the Company, resulting
in total net proceeds less than the settlement value, the investor is entitled to additional settlement shares of the Company’s
common stock. If after the investor has sold all settlement shares, the investor delivers a written notice to the Company certifying that
the investor is entitled to additional settlement shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Make-Whole Shares”). The
number of make-whole shares being equal to the greater of ((i) zero and (ii) the quotient of (1) the difference of (x) the settlement
value with respect to each sale of shares by the Investor after the delivery of the Settlement Shares, minus (y) the aggregate net consideration
received by the Investor from the resale of all shares of common stock issued by the Company, divided by (2) the average trailing closing
price for ten (10) trading days for the shares immediately preceding the date of delivery of the make-whole shares. During the period
the Company wrote off the loan and recorded a gain on the write-off of the note payable. As of September 30, 2023, there was no remaining
balance.
The
Company entered into an unsecured convertible promissory note (the “Nov 20 Note”), on November 19, 2020 in the amount of $50,000.
The Company received funds in the amount of $50,000. The Nov 20 Note had an original maturity date of November 19, 2021 and was extended
for an additional sixty (60) months from the maturity date. The Nov 20 Note bears interest at 10% per year. The Nov 20 Note may be converted
into shares of the Company’s common stock at a lesser price of $0.05 per share or (b) fifty percent (50%) of the lowest trade price
of common stock recorded on any trade after the effective date, or (c) the lowest effective price per share granted. In addition, for
each conversion, in event that shares are not delivered by the fourth business day (inclusive of the day of conversion), a penalty of
$2,000 per day shall be assessed for each day after the third business day until the shares are delivered. The conversion feature of the
Nov 20 Note was considered a derivative in accordance with current accounting guidelines because of the reset conversion features of the
Note. As of September 30, 2023, the remaining balance on the Nov 20 Note was $13,772, which is long term.
The
Company entered into an unsecured convertible promissory note (the “Jan 21 Note”), on January 25, 2021 in the amount of $60,000.
The Company received funds in the amount of $60,000. The Jan 21 Note had an original maturity date of January 25, 2022 and was extended
for an additional sixty (60) months from the maturity date. The Jan 21 Note bears interest at 10% per year. The Jan 21 Note may be converted
into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (a) $0.05 per share, (b) fifty percent (50%)
of the lowest trade price of common stock recorded on any trade after the effective date, or (c) the lowest effective price per share
granted. In addition, for each conversion, in event that shares are not delivered by the fourth business day (inclusive of the day of
conversion), a penalty of $2,000 per day shall be assessed for each day after the third business day until the shares are delivered. The
conversion feature of the Jan 25 Note was considered a derivative in accordance with current accounting guidelines because of the reset
conversion features of the Note. The Company recorded amortization of debt discount, which was recognized as interest expense in the amount
of $3,743 during the year ended December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, the balance of the Jan 21 Note was $60,000, which is short
term.
We
evaluated the financing transactions in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that the conversion feature
of the convertible promissory notes was not afforded the exemption for conventional convertible instruments due to its variable conversion
rate. The note has no explicit limit on the number of shares issuable, so they did not meet the conditions set forth in current accounting
standards for equity classification. The Company elected to recognize the note under paragraph 815-15-25-4, whereby, there would be a
separation into a host contract and derivative instrument. The Company elected to initially and subsequently measure the note in its entirety
at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Company recorded a derivative liability representing the imputed
interest associated with the embedded derivative. The derivative liability is adjusted periodically according to the stock price fluctuations.
The derivative liability recognized in
the financial statements for the convertible promissory notes as of September 30, 2023 was $10,381,519.
Water On Demand, Inc.
In December 2022, WODI raised capital
and issued convertible secured promissory notes in the amount of $1,347,500 to investors with 10% interest per annum. The notes were issued
to raise capital needed to acquire the equity interests in Fortune Rise Acquisition Corporation (the “SPAC”) for the purchase
price of $400,000 and to pay off the promissory notes the SPAC owed to sellers. Per the terms and conditions of the convertible promissory
notes, all unpaid principal, together with any unpaid and accrued interest shall be due and payable on the earlier of the twelve (12)
month of the date of the Notes (the “Maturity Date”) provided, that WODI shall have the option to extend the Maturity Date
for up to two (2) six-month extensions, or (ii) when, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default.
During the nine months ended September
30, 2023, WODI raised additional capital of $6,346,500 and an investor exchanged the Company’s Series X preferred stock in the amount
of $250,000 and Series R preferred stock in the amount of $100,000 for a WODI convertible secured promissory note. Also during the period
ended September 30, 2023, per settlement, conversion and redemption agreements with WODI shareholders, an aggregate of 810,707,922 shares
of the Company’s common stock were redeemed at a market price of $0.01, which was added to the cash value of the shareholders’
investment to purchase WODI convertible secured promissory notes. The loss relating to these settlement and conversion agreements of $7,728,089
was accounted for in the consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2023, WODI had outstanding convertible secured promissory
notes in the amount of $15,772,089.

Equipment Contracts
Revenues and related costs on equipment
contracts are recognized as the performance obligations for work are satisfied over time in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, revenue and associated profit will be recognized as the
customer obtains control of the goods and services promised in the contract (i.e., performance obligations). All un-allocable indirect
costs and corporate general and administrative costs are charged to the periods as incurred. However, in the event a loss on a contract
is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss as it is determined.
The following table represents a disaggregation
of revenue by type of good or service from contracts with customers for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Contract assets represents revenues recognized
in excess of amounts billed on contracts in progress. Contract liabilities represents billings in excess of revenues recognized on contracts
in progress. Assets and liabilities related to long-term contracts are included in current assets and current liabilities in the accompanying
balance sheets, as they will be liquidated in the normal course of the contract completion. The contract asset for the nine months ended
September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, was $908,327 and $1,479,491, respectively. The contract liability for the nine
months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, was $1,271,095 and $932,458, respectively.
Fair value investment in Securities
On
November 12, 2021, the Company served a conversion notice to WTII and recorded additional interest and fees of $15,988 through that date,
according to the terms of the securities purchase agreement for an aggregate of $149,867. The Note was converted into 45,208,649 shares
of WTII common stock. As of September 30, 2023, the investment in securities was recorded at fair value in the amount of $22,604, with
an unrealized loss of $4,521.
On May 15, 2018, the Company received 4,000
shares of WTII Series C convertible preferred stock for the use of OriginClear, Inc. technology associated with their proprietary electro
water separation system. Each share of Series C convertible preferred stock is convertible into one thousand (1,000) shares of WTII common
stock. The stock was valued at fair market value of $0.0075 for a price of $30,000 on the date of issuance. The Company analyzed the licensing
agreement using ASU 606 to determine the timing of revenue recognition. The licensing of the intellectual property (IP) is distinct from
the non-license goods or services and has significant standalone functionality that provides a benefit or value. The functionality will
not change during the license period due to the licensor’s activities. Because the significant standalone functionality was delivered
immediately, the revenue was recognized in the financial statements as of June 30, 2018. As of September 30, 2023, the fair value of the
preferred shares was $3,200, and had a gain in fair value of $800.
Secured Loans Payable
The
Company entered into short term loans with various lenders for capital expansion secured by the Company’s assets in the amount of
$1,749,970, which included finance cost of $624,810. The finance cost was amortized over the terms of the loans, which have various maturity
dates ranging from October 2018 through February 2019. As of December 31, 2020, the finance cost was fully amortized. The term of the
loans ranged from two months to six months. The net balance as of September 30, 2023 was $30,646.
Water On Demand, Inc. (“WODI”)
was incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 22, 2022. WODI, with the support of its parent, OriginClear, Inc (the “Company”),
is developing a new outsourced water treatment business called “Water On Demand”: or “WOD”. The WOD model
intends to offer private businesses the ability to pay for water treatment and purification services on a per-gallon basis. This is commonly
known as Design-Build-Own-Operate or “DBOO”. WODI intends to work with regional water service companies to build and operate
the water treatment systems it finances. On March 23, 2022, WODI announced that it was evaluating the first pilot opportunity, a
50,000 gallon per day wastewater treatment project.
On November 16, 2022, WODI filed a Form
1-A Offering Circular for an offering under Regulation A (the “Offering”) of the Securities Act of 1933 with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission. The purpose of the Offering is to allow potential investors the opportunity to invest directly in WODI. The Offering
has a minimum investment of $1,000 and will be on a best-efforts basis.
On December 22, 2022, WODI entered into
a Membership Interest Purchase and Transfer Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Ka Wai Cheung, Koon Lin Chan, and Koon
Keung Chan (each a “Seller”, and collectively, the “Sellers”) and Fortune Rise Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (the “Sponsor”), pursuant to which WODI purchased 100 membership interests in the Sponsor (“Purchased
Interests”) from the Sellers, which constitutes 100% of the membership interests in the Sponsor. The Sponsor owns 2,343,750 shares
out of 2,443,750 shares of the issued and outstanding shares of Class B common stock (the “Class B Common Stock”) of Fortune
Rise Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware Corporation (“FRLA” or the “SPAC”). On December 29, 2022, the Company

Fortune Rise Acquisition Corp.
On December 22, 2022, WODI paid a total
of $1,137,267 to the Sellers of Fortune Rise Sponsor, LLC which included a total of $400,000 to purchase the membership interest in Class
B Common Stock of FRLA and $737,267 for compensating the payment made by the Sellers on November 4, 2022, towards the first extension
of the SPAC through February 5, 2023. In connection with the Extension Payment, FRLA issued unsecured promissory notes to the Sellers.
As of December 31, 2022, the $737,267 amount was reflected as Notes Payable to related party on the consolidated balance sheet of the
SPAC.
FRLA is a blank check company incorporated
in February 2021 as a Delaware corporation formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock
purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. FRLA is a “shell company” as defined
under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, because it has no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash. The SPAC
will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial business combination, at the earliest.
On December 29, 2022, pursuant to a Membership
Interest Purchase and Transfer Agreement and Securities Transfer Agreement with the members of the Sponsor, WODI acquired the membership
interests of the Sponsor and became the beneficial owner of 2,343,750 shares of FRLA Class B Common Stock, each of which is exercisable
into one share of FRLA Class A Common Stock. The purchase price for the membership interests was $400,000. To acquire the equity interests
in FRLA for the purchase price of $400,000, WODI issued convertible secured promissory notes to investors at 10% interest per annum. Per
the terms and conditions of the convertible promissory note, all unpaid principal, together with any unpaid and accrued interest shall
be due and payable on the earlier of the twelve (12) month of the date of the Note (the “Maturity Date”) (provided, WODI shall
have the option to extend the Maturity Date for up to two (2) six-month extensions, or (ii) when, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default.
On January 5,
2023, WODI signed a non-binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) with Fortune Rise Acquisition Corporation, (“FRLA”
collectively with WODI, the “Parties”). The LOI is not binding on the Parties and is intended solely to guide good-faith negotiations
toward a definitive business combination agreement. The Parties will work together in good faith with their respective advisors to agree
on a structure for the business combination that is most expedient to the consummation of the acquisition, which may result in a new (merged)
entity. Pursuant to the LOI, if a business combination were to be consummated and approved, all of the outstanding equity securities of
WODI, including all shares of common stock, preferred stock, outstanding options and warrants will convert into new equity of the merged
entity.
On February 7, 2023, FRLA and OriginClear
Inc. announced that WODI deposited $977,500 (the “Second Extension Payment”) into FRLA’s trust account for its public
shareholders, representing $0.10 per public share, which enables FRLA to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business
combination by an additional three months from February 5, 2023 to May 5, 2023 (the “Second Extension”).
WODI assumed the obligation to make any
necessary extension payments in connection with the extension of the period of time in which the SPAC may consummate its initial business
combination as described in the SPAC’s S-1 Registration Statement, including the three-month extension from November 5, 2022 to
February 5, 2023, the Second Extension for an additional three months from February 5, 2023 to May 5, 2023 and a final extension for an
additional six months from May 5, 2023 to November 5, 2023.
On April 10, 2023, at the Special Meeting,
a total of 10,514,410 (or 81.61%) of FRLA’s issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock held
of record as of March 3, 2023, were present either in person or by proxy, which constituted a quorum. In that FRLA shareholders agreed
to an extension of the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by an additional six months from May 5, 2023
to November 5, 2023. FRLA’s stockholders voted on to approve and adopt the extension amendment which received sufficient votes (more
than 65%) for approval.
On April 14, 2023,
WODI entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with the Company, whereby it agreed to purchase all of the assets related to the Company’s
“Modular Water Service” business, including licenses, technology, intellectual property, contracts, business models, patents
and other assets in exchange for 6,000,000 shares of WODI common stock. The assets include a reissuance for a new ten-year term of OriginClear’s
existing global master license to the five patents and related Intellectual Property of inventor Daniel M. Early, P.E., who heads Modular
Water, and the right to file patents for all additional inventions since 2018, when OriginClear created the unit. MWS is in commercial
operation and operates as a division of WODI. On April 14, 2023, the Company transferred the assets associated with its Modular Water
Systems division (“MWS” or “Modular Water”) (www.modularwater.com) to WODI.
On September
21, 2023, WODI entered into a merger agreement with PWT whereby WODI was merged with PWT. The merger of these entities was completed to
create better enterprise value for a potential merger opportunity with FRLA. In connection with the merger with WODI, PWT changed its
name to Water on Demand, Inc.
On September
28, 2023, WODI nominated the combined PWT/WODI merged entity, for merger with FRLA. Accordingly, the Letter of Intent (“LOI”)
executed on January 5, 2023 with WODI was amended to designate PWT as the new target of the acquisition. Under the amended
LOI, FRLA proposed to acquire all the outstanding securities of PWT, based on certain material financial and business terms and conditions
being met. The LOI is not binding on the parties and is intended solely to guide good-faith negotiations toward definitive agreements.
On October 24,
2023 FRLA and WODI entered into a definitive business combination agreement (the “BCA”). The transaction represents a pro forma
equity valuation of approximately $72 million of the Combined Company, assuming no further redemptions of FRLA public shares by FRLA’s
public shareholders. The estimated cash proceeds available to the Combined Company from the transaction consists of FRLA’s $ 39,635,883
of cash held in trust, assuming no further redemptions of FRLA public shares. Upon closing of the transactions contemplated under the
BCA, and assuming none of FRLA’s public shareholders elect to redeem their shares of common stock and no additional shares of common stock
are issued, it is anticipated that FRLA’s public shareholders would retain an ownership interest of approximately 46% of the Combined
Company, the sponsors, officers, directors and other holders of FRLA founder shares and private shares will retain an ownership interest
of approximately 18% of the Combined Company, and the WOD stockholders will own approximately 36% of the Combined Company, based on its
agreed acquisition valuation of $32 million, an approximate 3.2x multiple of its 2022 revenue. The existing stockholders of WOD are expected
to roll 100% of their equity into the Combined Company.
On October 25, 2023, at the Special Meeting,
a total of 5,687,847 (or 84.59 %) of FRLA’s issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock held
of record, were present either in person or by proxy, which constituted a quorum. FRLA shareholders approved a proposal to extend the
period of time FRLA has to consummate its initial business combination by an additional one year from November 5, 2023 to November 5,
2024, by up to twelve one-month extensions, subject to certain conditions.
Promissory Notes
Since buying the sponsorship interest in
the SPAC on December 22, 2022 through September 30, 2023, WODI and the Company made payments on behalf of the SPAC in the aggregate amount
of $3,260,985. As of September 30, 2023, WODI and the Company received an aggregate of $3,260,985 in unsecured promissory notes (the “SPAC
Notes”) from the SPAC in exchange for the payments made on behalf of the SPAC to meet its operating expenses and the extension payments.
The SPAC Notes are non-interest bearing and payable (subject to the waiver against SPAC trust provisions)
on the earlier of (i) consummation of the SPAC initial business combination; and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the SPAC. The
principal balance of each SPAC Note may be prepaid at any time, at the election of the SPAC.
As of the date of this filing, the SPAC
has been extended through November 5, 2024, to give the Company adequate time to complete all the necessary administrative and regulatory
steps, including filing of the registration statement and timely respond to satisfy potential comments, from regulatory bodies to consummate
the business combination. Management continues to estimate the likelihood of the merger at 50%.
Impairment of receivable
Although the payments made on behalf of
the SPAC are amounts receivable to WODI, for the period ended September 30, 2023, WODI considered the aggregate amount of $3,260,985 for
the SPAC Notes to be impaired and recorded it as an expense on the consolidated income statements, as it is deemed probable that the SPAC
may not have funds to pay back with interest all of the Class A shareholders and WODI for the amounts advanced to the SPAC.
In the event of WODI successfully merging
with the SPAC, all amounts paid by WODI on behalf of the SPAC, including any future payments made until such merger is fully consummated
will be received back by WODI.
Integration
of MWS into WODI
On April 14, 2023 (the “Effective
Date”), WODI entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with the Company, whereby it agreed to purchase all of the assets related
to the Company’s Modular Water Systems (“MWS”) business, including licenses, technology, intellectual property, contracts,
business models, patents and other assets in exchange for 6,000,000 shares of WODI common stock. The assets included MWS accounts receivables
and accounts payables as of April 14, 2023 and an assignment of the Company’s existing global master license to the patents of inventor
Daniel M. Early, P.E., who heads MWS, and the right to file patents for all additional inventions since 2018, when OriginClear created
the MWS unit. Beginning on the Effective Date, all MWS transactions including revenue, accounts payable and accounts receivable were transferred
from the Company’s Progressive Water Treatment, Inc. (“PWT”) subsidiary over to the Company’s WODI subsidiary.
PWT-WODI
merger
On September
21, 2023, WODI entered into a merger agreement with PWT to create better enterprise value for a potential merger opportunity with FRLA
and a plan of merger agreement (the “PWT-WODI merger agreement”) was entered into between WODI and PWT. Per the PWT-WODI merger
agreement, all shares of WODI common and preferred stock were exchanged for 2,406,822 shares of PWT common stock as merger consideration.
WODI convertible notes and WODI Restricted Stock Grants were assumed by PWT and remain outstanding.
The merger consideration
of 2,406,822 shares of common stock of PWT were calculated as follows:
| ● | Issued and outstanding shares of WODI common stock on a fully dilutive basis were calculated as of September
20, 2023 at 12,194,482. This included: WODI common stockholders - OCLN & Reg A shareholders and Series A and Series B preferred stockholders. |
| ● | WODI (including MWS) was valued at $6,425,184 based on 2022 MWS revenues of $2,00,870 using a 3.2 multiple
of revenue. |
| ● | WODI/ MWS price per share of $0.53 was arrived at by dividing the total fully diluted common stock (12,194,482)
by the value of $6,425,184. |
| ● | PWT was valued at $26,695,716 based on 2022 PWT revenues of $8,342,411 using a 3.2 multiple of revenue. |
| ● | PWT price per share of $2.67 was arrived at by dividing the total fully diluted common stock (10,000,000)
by the value of $26,695,716. |
| ● | Based on the valuation for each as mentioned above, an exchange ratio of 1:0.1973 was determined to ascertain
the number of shares to be issued in PWT for every share held by WODI stockholder. |
| ● | Using the exchange ratio, the merger consideration of 2,406,822 shares in PWT was allocated to WODI shareholders
as follows: |
OCLN – 2,171,067
common shares in PWT
WODI Reg A –
2,368 common shares in PWT
WODI Series A
– 100,556 common shares in PWT
WODI Series B
– 132,830 common shares in PWT
| ● | WODI Series A and Series B were converted to WODI common before the merger. |
Restricted
Stock to WODI Board, Employees and Consultants
Between
August 12, 2022, and August 3, 2023, WODI entered into Restricted Stock Grant Agreements (the “WODI RSGAs”) with its members
of the Board, employees, and consultants to create management incentives to improve the economic performance of WODI and to increase its
value. WODI RSGAs provide for the issuance of up to 15,550,000 shares of WODI common stock provided certain milestones and vesting
are met in certain stages. The restricted shares may become fully vested and no longer subject to risk of forfeiture (“Vested
Shares”) if WODI shares are uplisted to a National Exchange, then upon such uplisting, 25% of the restricted shares that shall vest
and become Vested Shares and 6.25% each three-month period thereafter, subject to the following: (i) If WODI shares are traded on a National
Exchange, then the amount of restricted shares which shall become Vested Shares during any three-month period shall not exceed an amount
representing the greater of (a) 1% of the shares of common stock outstanding as shown by the most recent SEC Report published by WODI
and (b) the average weekly reported volume of trading in the common stock on a national securities exchange during the previous four calendar
weeks. (ii) If WODI shares are subsequently delisted and quoted on the over-the-counter market, including the OTCQB, then the amount of
restricted shares which shall become Vested Shares during any three month period shall not exceed an amount representing 1% of the shares
of common stock outstanding as shown by the most recent SEC Report published by WODI, or if WODI shares are traded on a national securities
exchange, the greater of (b)(i) and the average weekly reported volume of trading in the common stock on a national securities exchange
during the previous four calendar weeks. If WODI shares do not achieve listing on a national securities exchange within three years of
the Effective Date, then the restricted shares shall vest and become Vested Shares at a rate equal to 25% on the three-year anniversary
of the Effective Date and 6.25% each three-month period thereafter. WODI has not recognized any
costs associated the WODI RSGAs because milestones and vesting have not been achieved. As the milestones are achieved, the shares
shall become eligible for vesting and issuance. On September 21, 2023 the WODI RSGAs were assumed by PWT per the Merger Plan Agreement
and per the conversion ratio of 0.19737 established in the Merger Plan Agreement, the 15,550,000 total issuable shares under the WODI
RSGAs were converted to 3,069,100 total issuable shares and the WODI RSGAs were renamed Progressive Water Treatment Restricted Stock Grant
Agreements (the “PWT RSGAs”).
During the nine months ended September
30, 2023, the Company obtained 12 month credit lines in the aggregate amount of $245,500, with an interest rate of 26.07%. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company paid principal in the amount of $105,621, leaving a principal balance of $139,879. During
the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company paid interest in the amount of $23,415.
On
March 1, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 630 shares of Series T Preferred Stock to an accredited investor (the “Purchaser’’)
per terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”). Per the SPA, the Company agreed to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser
agreed to purchase from the Company, 630 shares of the Company’s Series T, and two-year cashless warrants to acquire 25,200,000 shares
of the Company’s common stock, valued at $0.05 per share per terms of the SPA, which were exercisable at any time in whole
or in part. The purchaser and the Company agreed that in lieu of the purchase price for the Series T, the Purchaser transferred to the
Company real property, with an aggregate value agreed to be $630,000 based on an appraisal from an international independent company
at that time. The real property consisted of residential real estate in Buenos Aires Argentina valued at $580,000, and eight undeveloped
lots valued at $50,000 in Terralta private neighborhood development. The real property exchanged for 630 shares of Series
T was recorded at $630,000 and reflected on the balance sheet as a long term asset for sale at that time.
The
real property was listed for sale beginning in July 2021. However, based on indicator of impairment, during the year ended December
31, 2021, the Company adjusted the original value of the asset for sale from $630,000 to $514,000 and recorded an impairment of $116,000
in the consolidated financial statements.
During
the period ended December 31, 2022, after evaluating several offers, the Company considered an offer for $400,000, which was $114,000
below the previously adjusted value and was indicative of the real estate market conditions in Buenos Aires Argentina. Based on that indicator
of impairment, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company further adjusted the previous value of the asset for sale from $514,000
to $400,000 on the balance sheet and recorded an impairment of $114,000 in the consolidated financial statements. All Series T preferred
stock was converted and the warrants associated with the Series T expired during the period ended December 31, 2022.
In
January 2023, the Company accepted the offer and on April 8, 2023, a deed was executed for the sale of the property for $400,000. The
agreed upon payment terms were; $235,000 initial payment and the remaining $165,000 to be paid over fifteen monthly installments of $11,000
each. The initial payment was received by SMS Argentina (“SMS”), an accounting and consulting firm that was appointed by the
Company as the Power of Attorney for the property. From the proceeds, SMS remitted taxes due on the transaction to the Federal Administration
of Public Income (“AFIP”), which administers taxation in Argentina. On June 21, 2023, the Company received a payment of $164,935,
net of all taxes assessed by AFIP and other closing fees associated with the sale of the property totaling $65,493 and recorded a receivable
of $169,572 for the remaining amount on the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023. Between July 1, 2023 through September
30, 2023, the Company received additional payments totaling $37,572. As of September 30, 2023, the balance of the receivable was $132,000
which is reflected on the consolidated financial statements.

EMPLOYEE RETENTION TAX CREDIT |
Under the provisions of the extension of
the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) passed by the United States Congress and signed by
the President, the Company was eligible for a refundable employee retention credit (the “ERTC”) subject to certain criteria.
The Company’s subsidiary, Progressive Water Treatment applied for the ERTC and during the nine months ended September 30, 2023,
received an aggregate of $126,879 which was recognized in the financial statements as other income.

Organizational History
OriginClear,
Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or “OriginClear”) was incorporated
on June 1, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada. We have been engaged in business operations since June 2007. In 2015, we moved
into the commercialization phase of our business plan having previously been primarily involved in research, development and licensing
activities. Our principal offices are located at 13575 58th Street North, Suite 200, Clearwater, FL 33760. Our main telephone number is
(727) 440-4603. Our website address is www.OriginClear.com. The information contained on, connected to or that can be accessed via our
website is not part of this report.
Overview of Business
OriginClear was founded as OriginOil
in 2007, and began trading on the OTC in 2008. In 2015, it was renamed as OriginClear to reflect its mission to develop breakthrough businesses
in the industrial water sector. Today, OriginClear structures itself as the Clean Water Innovation Hub™ and its mission is to incubate
and grow valuable water properties that will disrupt the industry.
In 2023, OriginClear combined
three of these businesses into a single subsidiary in anticipation of a merger of such subsidiary with a “blank check” company
(a SPAC or Special Purpose Acquisition Company). The definitive merger agreement was announced on 24 October, 2023: https://www.originclear.com/company-news/originclears-water-on-demand-and-fortune-rise-acquisition-corporation-announce-business-combination-to-create-nasdaq-listed-company.
The assets and properties now
incorporated as Water On Demand Inc. (WODI) consist of the following:
|
● |
Progressive Water Treatment Inc. (“PWT”) - a wholly-owned subsidiary based in Dallas, Texas, which is responsible for a significant percentage of the Company’s revenue, specializing in engineered water treatment solutions and custom treatment systems. |
|
● |
A worldwide, exclusive master license to the intellectual
property of Daniel M. Early, consisting of five patents and related intellectual property, know-how and trade secrets (“Early IP”).
Recently, OriginClear commissioned a valuation of
the Early IP, which yielded a nominal value between $26,637,185 and $53,224,807. According to the valuation, the Projected Total Available
Market in 2026 exceeds $8 Billion. |
|
● |
The brand, Modular Water Systems (MWS), featuring products differentiated by the Early IP and complemented with additional knowhow and trade secrets. |
|
● |
An incubated outsourced water treatment business called Water On Demand (“WOD”). The WOD model intends to offer private businesses water self-sustainability as a service - the ability to pay for water treatment and purification services on a per-gallon basis. This is commonly known as Design-Build-Own-Operate (“DBOO”). |
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The Company did not spin off the companies known as the WOD Subsidiaries. The funds the Company raises for these entities shall continue to be held by the Company and made available for use by WODI, to be deployed subject to a planned management contract. |
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: the Company did not spin off the developmental blockchain instruments
$H2O, a security token for the payment of dividends, and ClearAqua, a community involvement token. At this time, the Company is not actively
developing these but is pursuing Intellectual Property protection for them to the extent it finds useful. |
“This is an example of OriginClear
successfully incubating and growing a healthy business over five years, and selling it for many times its investment,” said Riggs
Eckelberry, OriginClear CEO. “We anticipate this transaction will further benefit OriginClear shareholders as Water On Demand executes
on its business plan.”
OriginClear issued a new presentation
describing the new combined businesses and planning. The presentation is available online at https://www.originclear.com/investing#companypresentation
Water Businesses
The Company
develops and incubates businesses in its role as the Clean Water Innovation Hub™ (“CWIB”). The mission of CWIB in general,
is to create valuable properties through an incubation process that results in the launching of valuable spinoffs that add value to the
world’s water industry.
The first
such spinoff was on April 13, 2022, when the Company’s Board of Directors approved the plan to spin off its WOD business into a
newly formed subsidiary, Water On Demand Inc., (“WODI”) which holds the assets, liabilities, intellectual property and business
operations of the WOD business.
On January
5, 2023, WODI signed a non-binding Letter of Intent with Fortune Rise Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Fortune
Rise”), under which Fortune Rise proposes to acquire all the outstanding securities of WODI, based on certain material financial
and business terms and conditions being met.
On April
14, 2023, WODI entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with the Company, whereby it agreed to purchase all of the assets related to the
Company’s “Modular Water Service” business, including licenses, technology, intellectual property, contracts, business
models, patents and other assets in exchange for 6,000,000 shares of WODI common stock. The assets include a reissuance for a new ten-year
term of OriginClear’s existing global master license to the five patents and related Intellectual Property of inventor Daniel M.
Early, P.E., who heads Modular Water, and the right to file patents for all additional inventions since 2018, when OriginClear created
the unit. MWS is in commercial operation and operates as a division of WODI. On April 14, 2023, the Company transferred the assets
associated with its Modular Water Systems division (“MWS” or “Modular Water”) (www.modularwater.com) to WODI.
On
May 22, 2023, the Company announced that its subsidiary Water On Demand (WODI) had recently entered into a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) to acquire an established international SaaS (Software as a Service) Developer (Developer), founded nearly twenty years ago, which
operates with a stable customer base of technology companies. The acquisition is anticipated to be accretive. The MOU provides a framework
for negotiating a definitive agreement for the acquisition of the Developer. The talks are in an early stage and may not succeed.
On September
26, 2023, the Company announced that it merged its subsidiaries, WODI and PWT to create better enterprise value for a potential merger
opportunity with Fortune Rise Acquisition Corporation (‘FRLA’).
On September
28, 2023, FRLA and OriginClear Inc., announced that FRLA and WODI agreed to nominate a new target – the recently merged PWT /WODI.
Accordingly, the Letter of Intent (“LOI”) executed January 5, 2023 with WODI was amended to designate PWT as the
new target of the acquisition. Under the revised/amended LOI, FRLA proposes to acquire all the outstanding securities of PWT,
based on certain material financial and business terms and conditions being met. The LOI is not binding on the parties and is intended
solely to guide good-faith negotiations toward definitive agreements.
Post-merger
with WODI, PWT effected a name change to Water On Demand Inc.
On October
24, 2023 FRLA and OCLN announced that FRLA and WODI had entered into a definitive business combination agreement (the “BCA”).
The transaction represents a pro forma equity valuation of approximately $72 million of the Combined Company, assuming no further redemptions
of FRLA public shares by FRLA’s public shareholders. The estimated cash proceeds available to the Combined Company from the transaction
consists of FRLA’s $ 39,635,883 of cash held in trust, assuming no further redemptions of FRLA public shares. Upon closing of the transactions
contemplated under the BCA, and assuming none of FRLA’s public shareholders elect to redeem their shares of common stock and no additional
shares of common stock are issued, it is anticipated that FRLA’s public shareholders would retain an ownership interest of approximately
46% of the Combined Company, the sponsors, officers, directors and other holders of FRLA founder shares and private shares will retain
an ownership interest of approximately 18% of the Combined Company, and the WOD stockholders will own approximately 36% of the Combined
Company, based on its agreed acquisition valuation of $32 million, an approximate 3.2x multiple of its 2022 revenue. The existing stockholders
of WOD are expected to roll 100% of their equity into the Combined Company.
Currently,
OriginClear’s mission as the CWIB is the following:
| 1. | Support the rollout of the WODI post-merger entity (the plan is to retain the name). OriginClear has proposed
a post-merger management services contract with WODI, which over time will be phased out as WODI builds its own internal team and capabilities. |
| 2. | In particular, OriginClear is assisting WODI with its aggressive acquisitions plan, starting now and to
be finalized post the SPAC merger (there is no assurance of merger success.) |
| 3. | Selecting companies and/or technologies for funding and development. We may not restrict ourselves to
the water industry. |
Milestones
Progressive Water Treatment Inc.
On October
1, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Dallas-based Progressive Water Treatment Inc. (“PWT”), a designer, builder
and service provider for a wide range of industrial water treatment applications. PWT, together with MWS, other proprietary technologies
and potential future acquisitions, aims to offer a complementary, end-to-end offering to serve growing corporate demand for outsourced
water treatment.
PWT’s Business
Since
1995, PWT has been designing and manufacturing a complete line of water treatment systems for municipal, industrial and pure water applications.
PWT designs and manufactures a complete line of water treatment systems for municipal, industrial and pure water applications. Its uniqueness
is its ability to gain an in-depth understanding of customer’s needs and then to design and build an integrated water treatment
system using multiple technologies to provide a complete solution for its customers.
PWT utilizes
a wide range of technologies, including chemical injection, media filters, membrane, ion exchange and SCADA (supervisory control and data
acquisition) technology in turnkey systems. PWT also offers a broad range of services including maintenance contracts, retrofits and replacement
assistance. In addition, PWT rents equipment in contracts of varying duration. Customers are primarily served in the United States and
Canada, with the company’s reach extending worldwide from Siberia to Argentina to the Middle East.
PWT Milestones
In the
first quarter of 2019, the Company increased the number of the manufacturer’s representatives for its operating units, PWT and Modular
Water Systems (“MWS”).
On April
15, 2021, the Company announced that its Progressive Water Treatment division is now shipping BroncBoost™, its workhorse Booster
Pump Station equipment line. Engineered and built in Texas, BroncBoost allows customers to control water flow rates and pressure for mission
critical water distribution systems.
On August
25, 2021, PWT entered into a Master Services Agreement (MSA) with a large US public utility company for water filtration systems that
will provide process water at three power plants. The utility issued a purchase order for approximately $1.8 million, for the first power
plant. The total purchase price payable to PWT under the MSA is approximately $5 million, subject to certain conditions, including receipt
and acceptance by PWT of additional purchase orders. We expect the overall contract to take up to two years to deliver from the date of
the MSA.
On
September 26, 2023, the Company announced that it merged its subsidiaries, WODI and PWT.
Modular Water Systems – now part of Water
On Demand, Inc.
On June
22, 2018, OriginClear signed an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with Daniel “Dan” Early P. E. for his proprietary
technology for prefabricated water transport and treatment systems. On July 19, 2018, the Company began incubating its Modular Water Treatment
Division (MWS) around Mr. Early’s technology and perspective customers. The Company has funded the development of this division
with internal cash flow. In Q1 of 2020, the Company fully integrated MWS with wholly-owned Progressive Water Treatment Inc. The Company
is currently developing MWS as a discrete line of business for an eventual spinoff. Mr. Early currently serves as Chief Engineer for OriginClear.
On July
19, 2018, the Company launched its Modular Water Treatment Division, offering a unique product line of prefabricated water transport and
treatment systems. Daniel “Dan” Early P.E. (Professional Engineer) heads the Modular Water Systems (“MWS”) division.
On June 25, 2018, Dan Early granted the Company a worldwide, exclusive non-transferable license to the technology and knowhow behind MWS
(See “Intellectual Property”). A ten-year renewal on May 20, 2020 added the right to sublicense and create manufacturing joint
ventures. On July 25, 2018, MWS received its first order, for a brewery wastewater treatment plant.
With
PWT and other companies as fabricators and assemblers, MWS designs, manufactures and delivers prefabricated water transport (pump and
lift stations) under the EveraMOD™ brand; and wastewater treatment plant (“WWTP”) products under the EveraSKID™
and EveraTREAT™ brands to customers and end-users which are required to clean their own wastewater, such as schools, small communities,
institutional facilities, real estate developments, factories, and industrial parks.
On Nov
7, 2019, the Company published a case study showing how Modular Water Systems may help businesses expand into rural land. The case study
shows how point-of-use treatment solves lack of access to the public sewer system.
On March
5, 2020, the Company announced disruptive pump and lift station pricing, stating that its prefabricated modules with a lifespan of up
to 100 years now compete with precast concrete.
On September
28, 2021, the Company announced that MWS deployed its pilot Pondster™ brand modular lagoon treatment system at a Mobile Home Park
(MHP) or trailer park, in Troy, Alabama. Modular Water Systems has since offered its treatment system to other MHPs and recently completed
an installation at an MHP in Pennsylvania.
On June
16, 2022 the Company announced that MWS received purchase orders for approximately $1.5 Million in the single month of May of 2022. This
compared to $1,774,880 in purchase orders for the entire year 2021.
On July
25, 2022 the Company announced that decentralized water treatment, long pioneered by OriginClear’s Modular Water Systems™
(“MWS”), is now being mandated by major US cities to recycle water in large new buildings.
On August
12, 2022 the Company announced the inaugural delivery and installation of its pre-engineered EveraBOX™ to implement a low-risk Liquid
Ammonium Sulfate (LAS) disinfectant system for Pennsylvania’s Beaver Falls Municipal Water Authority (BFMA). Typical of MWS products,
EveraBOX is manufactured using inexpensive, long-lasting High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) or Polypropylene (PP) materials. These materials
have proven to be less affected by supply chain issues currently impacting metal and fiberglass construction.
On April 14, 2023, WODI entered
into an Asset Purchase Agreement with the Company, whereby it agreed to purchase all of the assets related to the MWS business, including
licenses, technology, intellectual property, contracts, business models, patents and other assets in exchange for 6,000,000 shares of
WODI common stock.
On May 25, 2023, the Company
announced that in the 1st Quarter of 2023, Modular Water Systems (MWS), which at the time was still a division of the Company,
contributed 58% of total revenue, or $1,155,803. This exceeded the publicly disclosed forecast for the division. MWS gross profit was
$314,713, close to the forecast of $336,500, with a gross margin of 27%.
Water on Demand™: a new strategic direction
OriginClear
has developed an outsourced water treatment business called “Water On Demand”: or “WOD” as a potential revenue
source. The WOD model intends to offer private businesses the ability to pay for water treatment and purification services on a per-gallon
basis. This is commonly known as Design-Build-Own-Operate or “DBOO”. WOD is designed to select projects, fully qualify them,
provide financing for Design-Build-Own-Operate service contracts, and thereafter manage assets, contracts, clients, investors, strategic
partners and vendors.
On April 13, 2021, we announced formation of a wholly-owned subsidiary
called Water On Demand #1, Inc. (“WOD #1”) to pursue capitalization of the equipment required. The WOD Subsidiaries, Water
On Demand #2, Inc. (“WOD #2”), Water On Demand #3, Inc. (“WOD #3”), Water On Demand #4, Inc. (“WOD #4”)
were separately created to permit optional segmenting of capital pools according to strategic partnerships. The Company elected to wind
down WOD#2, WOD#3 and WOD#4 and make the capital raised for them through the Company’s Series Y offering available to be deployed,
subject to a planned management contract.
On April
13, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the plan to spin off its WOD business into a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary,
Water On Demand Inc., (“WODI”), as a result, WODI holds all of the assets, liabilities, intellectual property and business
operations of the Water On Demand business. In connection with the spin off, the Company stipulated that it would exclude the WOD Subsidiaries,
and the capital raised, and to be raised in the future with respect to those entities through the sale of its Series Y offering, from
the assignment of assets and will make the capital available as part of a planned management contract. WODI is conducting an offering
under Regulation A by which WODI is raising capital to direct toward WOD projects. (Effective as of June 26, 2023, the Company announced
it is suspending the sale of securities under this Regulation A Offering. The Company will not conduct any sales of securities under this
offering until such time as further notice is given by filing an amendment or a Form 1-U. As of the effective date, the Company has sold
a total of 12,300 shares for total potential proceeds of $61,500.)
To enable rapid scaling, WODI
does not itself intend to build, maintain or service the water treatment systems it finances, but instead contract with regional water
service companies to carry out these functions. On April 6, 2022, an agreement in principle was reached to work with the first of these
intended contractors, Envirogen Technologies (www.envirogen.com), a 30-year international provider of environmental technology and process
solutions (www.originclear.com/company-news/originclear-and-envirogen-to-partner-on-water-on-demand). Future resources to build, maintain
and service these financed systems may come from acquisitions; however, these are not actively being planned.
Delegating
the building and operating of WOD-financed systems to regional water companies under performance contract, with the aim of developing
a network of such partners, is expected to enable rapid scale-up of the WOD program, and the partner network would create a high barrier
to entry for competitors.
At the time of this filing, WODI had no staff or independent resources.
However, the MWS and PWT units which are part of the combined entity and managed by OriginClear under a planned management services agreement,
are generating revenue and profitable. The Board of Directors of OriginClear serves as the Board for WODI, the CEO of OriginClear serves
as CEO of WODI, and the CFO of OriginClear also serves as CFO of WODI. Under the prospective management services contract, OCLN plans
to provide all staffing and administrative resources, as well as fee-based access to the funds it has raised for WOD investments.
The Decentralization Megatrend
According to a 2021 report by
McKinsey & Co., US water infrastructure: Making funding count (https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/electric-power-and-natural-gas/our-insights/us-water-infrastructure-making-funding-count):
“The need for investment
in the US water system is at an unprecedented level. On average, 14 to 18 percent of total daily treated potable water in the United States
is lost through leaks, with some water systems reporting water-loss rates exceeding 60 percent. Much of the nation’s water and wastewater
infrastructure was built in the 1970s and 1980s. Since then, the share of federal capital investment has declined, putting the majority
of capital-funding responsibility on state and local governments, which are increasingly juggling funding priorities.”
“According to the American
Water Works Association’s State of the water industry report, 31 percent of utilities surveyed in 2019 expressed doubt in their
ability to cover the full cost of providing services, a figure that rose to 42 percent during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown.
“Simply raising rates is
not a practical solution because water bills are already too high for many US households. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, 20.0 percent
of US households in 2019 were paying more than 4.5 percent of their household income on water bills—a level that is considered unaffordable.
This figure rose to 24 percent in the first seven months of 2021 (Exhibit 3).
Figure 1: Water rates rise but utilities remain underfunded.
As municipalities continue to
be underfunded with rising water rates (Figure 1), businesses are increasingly choosing to treat and purify their own water, in a trend
known as Decentralized Water, first described in the Lux Research presentation of June 28, 2016. (https://members.luxresearchinc.com/research/report/20060).
According to the Lux Research
data, the unmet infrastructure needs of America’s 150,000+ water systems will exceed $100 billion per year by 2025.
And the recent Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act only provided one-time funding of $55 billion, which is less than one year’s
deficit.
It is this underfunding that
is creating the water quality problems we are seeing in places like Flint, Michigan and Jackson, Mississippi.
It is not realistic to expect
this underfunding of central water to be resolved anytime soon. The alternative is to simply reduce the load on these central systems.
Since industry and agriculture together account for 89% of all water demand in the United States (https://ourworldindata.org/water-use-stress),
we can enable commercial users to purify their own wastewater, thereby enabling water districts to focus on serving residential users
– achieving a major social justice victory by simply unburdening the central facilities.
Self-treatment is a win-win, too
– because businesses can do better by treating their own water; for instance, implementing recycling of the water they pay
for, and controlling their own costs.
But to make such a decentralization
program work, capital is needed. Most businesses simply do not have it in their capital plan to treat their own water. Now, with Water
On Demand, they can forget about investing in capital and expertise: they can simply continue to pay on the meter as they always have,
but to a micro-utility that sits on their own premises.
Reducing Risk through Outsourcing
Inflation of water rates greatly
exceeds core inflation, creating a risk for managers of businesses served by municipalities. We believe this creates an incentive for
self-treatment; but these businesses may lack the capital for large water plant expenditures, and the in-house expertise to manage them.
Outsourcing through Water on Demand means that these companies do not have to worry about financing or managing the project.
As an example, in information
technology sector, few companies operate their own server in-house powering their website. Rather, such servers are typically managed
by professionals through a service level agreement. We believe this same concept can be applied towards water treatment, using outsourced
water treatment solutions whereby the vendor retains ownership of the equipment. This concept is expanded to “Own and Operate”,
an extension of the basic “Design and Build”, for a full offering known as “Design Build Own and Operate” or “DBOO”,
which is very similar to the solar energy programs known as Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).
Under such a plan, a business
can outsource its wastewater treatment and avoid significant capital expenses and management responsibilities which can be a distraction
from their core business.
We believe this is financially
and operationally attractive to industrial, agricultural and commercial water users and can potentially drive additional revenue streams
for WODI by providing water treatment as a service.
Technology specifically developed for decentralization.
In 2018, OriginClear launched
its Modular Water Systems (MWS) division (www.modularwater.com), headed by Daniel M. Early, P.E., a pioneer of on-site or decentralized
water treatment in this country. Supported by its proprietary technology, this division already serves businesses doing their own water
treatment. These modular systems can be easily put to work for pre-funded, pay-per-gallon applications, potentially creating a barrier
to entry for other companies wanting to do the same.
Also, the portable nature of some
of these prefabricated, drop-in-place Modular Water Systems may provide a competitive benefit for a pure service model where the equipment
remains the property of the Company, because the mobility of certain products MWS offers (such as EveraSKID), enables some degree of repossession
in the event the client fails to pay their monthly bill. We believe this is a key competitive advantage.
Finally, WODI intends to license
MWS technology to local water companies as part of their contract to design, build and operate systems on behalf of WODI, thus achieving
both acceptance of such technology and a standardized “fleet” of installed systems.
Implementation of Water On Demand
On March
17, 2021, OriginClear incorporated Water On Demand #1 Inc. (“WOD#1”) in Nevada as a wholly owned subsidiary to provide a capital
pool for our Water on Demand business.
In
November 2021, the Company created additional Water on Demand subsidiaries – Water on Demand # 2, Inc. (WOD # 2), Water on Demand
# 3, Inc. (WOD # 3) and Water on Demand # 4, Inc. (WOD # 4) (in the aggregate, referred to as the “WOD Subsidiaries”), which
were each separately created to permit optional segmenting of capital pools according to strategic partnerships. The Company simplified
this structure by placing all funds in WOD #1 and wound down the others. As they are subject to a security guaranty by the Company, the
WOD Subsidiaries, and the capital raised for them through the sale of the Company’s Series Y offering, shall continue to be held
by the Company. This capital will be made available to WODI to be deployed, subject to a fee schedule under a proposed management contract.
On April
6, 2022, the Company agreed in principle to an arrangement with Houston-based, international water service company Envirogen Technologies
for certain operations and maintenance (O&M) functions, the first of a potential series of such partnerships, intended to enable Water
On Demand to focus on finance and asset management while the water industry benefits from a steady stream of pre-capitalized projects.
(https://www.originclear.com/company-news/originclear-and-envirogen-to-partner-on-water-on-demand)
On April
13, 2022, the Company announced the formation of Water On Demand, Inc. (“WODI”) as a wholly owned subsidiary which holds the
assets, liabilities, intellectual property and business operations of the Water On Demand business. Water On Demand is designed to offer
clean water systems to businesses and communities as a managed service without any capital requirement.
On June
29, 2022, WODI announced the launch of its $300 Million offering (the “Reg D Offering”). The offering of the securities is
made pursuant to an exemption from registration under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D, to accredited investors only.
The Company requires funding in
order to execute on its Water on Demand initiative. As of the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company received net aggregate funding
in the amount of $ 6,267,577 through the sale of its Reg D Offering, Series Y Preferred Stock dedicated to the Water on Demand program.
(see Notes to Financial Statements- Sale of Preferred Stock).
On February 17, 2023, the Securities
and Exchange Commission qualified the Offering Circular for the offering of securities by WODI pursuant to Regulation A offering (“Reg
A Offering”). The Reg A Offering is intended to accumulate capital for WODI to direct toward WOD projects. The purpose of this Offering
is to create an independent funding base for WODI and to enable the Company to provide financing for Design Build Own and Operate lifecycle
projects internally without requiring direct financial support by OCLN. OCLN will continue to provide shared administrative services.
The Reg A Offering is administered by New York-based Castle Placement (“Castle”) as the placement agent.
On March 9, 2023, the Company
announced that it launched a limited preview of the Reg A Offering. Effective as of June 26, 2023 (the “Effective date”),
the Company announced it suspended the sale of securities under the Reg A Offering. The Company will not conduct any sales of securities
under this offering until such time as further notice is given by filing an amendment or a Form 1-U. As of the Effective Date, the Company
sold a total of 12,000 shares for total proceeds of $60,000.
In connection with the Reg A Offering, the Company
decided to limit the Reg D Offering to $20 million.
WODI
is actively evaluating potential clients for a test of water treatment and purification services on a pay-per-gallon basis, but a first
agreement has not been reached. Also, WODI is in early stage talks with partners to deliver DBOO services, with the Company providing
financing and contract management services. In the event such talks do not succeed, WODI would need to implement its own resources for
such DBOO services.
On April 14, 2023, the Company
transferred its Modular Water Systems division (MWS or Modular Water) (www.modularwater.com) and the related assets to WODI.
On September
26, 2023, the Company announced that it merged its subsidiaries, WODI and PWT to create better enterprise value for a potential merger
opportunity with Fortune Rise Acquisition Corporation (‘FRLA’).
On September
28, 2023, FRLA and OriginClear Inc., announced that FRLA and WODI agreed to nominate a new target – the recently merged PWT with
WODI. Accordingly, the Letter of Intent (“LOI”) executed January 5, 2023 with WODI was amended to designate PWT
as the new target of the acquisition. Under the revised/amended LOI, FRLA proposes to acquire all the outstanding securities
of PWT, based on certain material financial and business terms and conditions being met. The LOI is not binding on the parties and is
intended solely to guide good-faith negotiations toward definitive agreements.
In
connection with the merger with WODI, PWT effected a name change to Water On Demand Inc.
On 24
October 2023, Fortune Rise Acquisition Corporation (Nasdaq: FRLA) and the Company announced that FRLA and Water On Demand Inc. (WODI)
have entered into a definitive business combination agreement (the “BCA”).
The transaction
represents a pro forma equity valuation of approximately $72 million of the Combined Company, assuming no further redemptions of FRLA
public shares by FRLA’s public shareholders. The estimated cash proceeds available to the Combined Company from the transaction consists
of FRLA’s $ 39,635,883 of cash held in trust, assuming no further redemptions of FRLA public shares.
The proceeds
will be used to develop the Water On Demand water-as-a-service network, grow the Modular Water and Progressive Water business units, and
carry out an aggressive acquisition program, which is expected to accelerate the existing growth. A number of assumptions have been made
as to purchase multiples, net growth, synergies and other factors, and there are no guarantees that the Combined Company will succeed
in the acquisitions and subsequent integrations of the acquired entities. The acquisitions will prioritize network management software,
management and engineering staffing, and vertical integration through acquisition of component fabricators.
Upon
closing of the transactions contemplated under the BCA, and assuming none of FRLA’s public shareholders elect to redeem their shares of
common stock and no additional shares of common stock are issued, it is anticipated that FRLA’s public shareholders would retain an ownership
interest of approximately 46% of the Combined Company, the sponsors, officers, directors and other holders of FRLA founder shares and
private shares will retain an ownership interest of approximately 18% of the Combined Company, and the WODI stockholders will own approximately
36% of the Combined Company, based on its agreed acquisition valuation of $32 million, an approximate 3.2x multiple of its 2022 revenue.
The existing stockholders of WODI are expected to roll 100% of their equity into the Combined Company.
The board
of directors of each of FRLA and WODI unanimously approved the transaction, which is expected to be completed in the second quarter of
2024, subject to, among other things, the approval by the shareholders of FRLA and WODI, satisfaction of the conditions stated in the
definitive agreement and other customary closing conditions, including a registration statement being declared effective by the SEC, and
approval by The Nasdaq Stock Market to list the securities of the Combined Company.

Advisory Support for OriginClear
In September 2020, OriginClear
announced that Philanthroinvestors had entered a strategic agreement with OriginClear and had listed the Company on its new Water Philanthroinvestors
program. At the same time, OriginClear appointed Philanthroinvestors Founder, Ivan Anz and CEO, Arte Maren to OriginClear’s Board
of Advisors. Recently, Mr. Maren was replaced as CEO and will continue to serve Philanthroinvestors in an advisory role.
$H2O™
On May 10, 2021, OriginClear filed
a patent application for its “System And Method For Water Treatment Incentive”, which includes blockchain technology and non-fungible
tokens (“NFT(s)”) to simplify the distribution of payments on outsourced water treatment and purification services billed
on a pay-per-gallon basis ahead of inflation, or Water On Demand.
On May 16, 2021, the Company applied
for a registered trademark for the mark $H2O (also referred to as H2O) as the blockchain system representing this activity. The current
filing basis is “Intent-to-use basis” (under Trademark Act Section 1(b)). The $H2O trademark application has been approved
for publication/opposition on April 26, 2023. This application will proceed to registration if no 3rd party files an opposition to this
application within 18-month from the opposition period.
On June 10, 2021, the Company
named Ricardo Fabiani Garcia, an OriginClear investor and veteran technologist, to the Company’s Board of Advisors. Mr. Garcia will
advise the management team as it sets up the roadmap and chooses the resources for the $H2O project. Currently, the focus is on a prototype
for $H2O, in support of the patent filing.
There
is no active development effort for $H2O. Depending on the final form that $H2O takes, we may encounter regulatory concerns that we cannot
guarantee we will overcome. In that event, we would fall back on ordinary financial payment systems. Neither our Water on Demand
or other current business models rely on any blockchain system for operation, and we can accomplish our operational goals using ordinary
financial and currency channels. The Company does not intend to incorporate a blockchain system in any registered offering.
Potential Acquisitions and Incubations
The Company,
intends to support WODI in acquiring assets and teams to support its growth.
We are particularly interested in companies which support the drop-in-place
Modular Water Systems, provide engineering services, or successfully execute on Design-Build-Own-Operate. These companies are growing
fast, because tougher regulations, water scarcities and general outsourcing trends are driving industrial and agricultural water treatment
users to delegate their water problem to service providers. As Global Water Intelligence pointed out in their report on October 30, 2015,
“Water is often perceived as a secondary importance, with end-users increasingly wanting to focus solely on their own core business.
This is driving a move away from internal water personnel towards external service experts to take control of water aspects.” External
service experts are typically small–privately owned and locally operated. Creating a network of such providers could lead to enormous
economies of scale through sharing of best practices, technologies, and customers and could represent a major barrier to entry for Water
On Demand’s competitors.
The Company
cautions that suitable acquisition candidates may not be identified and even if identified, the Company may not have adequate capital
to complete the acquisition and/or definitive agreement may not be reached. Internally incubated businesses, similarly, may not become
commercial successes
Patents and Intellectual Property
On June
25, 2018, Dan Early granted the Company a worldwide, exclusive non-transferable license to intellectual property consisting of five issued
US patents, and design software, CAD, marketing, design and specification documents (the “Early IP”).
On May
20, 2020, we agreed on a renewal of the license for an additional ten years, with three-year extensions. We also gained the right to sublicense,
and, with approval, to create ISO-compliant manufacturing joint ventures.
The license to the Early IP was
included as part of the sale of the MWS assets to WODI on April 14, 2023. The license was reissued on July 9, 2023 to WODI, restarting
the 10-year term (plus three-year extensions) on that date.
The Early IP consists of combined
protection on the materials and configurations of complete packaged water treatment systems, built into containers. The patents consist
of the following:

NOTE:
Two patents, U.S. Patent Nos. 8,561,633 and 8,871,089, are currently expired. Patent No. 8,561,633 is a stormwater filtration patent that
does not pertain to the MWS business model. Patent No. 8,871,089 is a Continuation-in-Part (CIP) on the original Patent No. 8,372,274.
This original patent and Patent No. 9,217,244 are the basis for the current MWS business and therefore the status of the CIP is not considered
material.
Additionally,
the Trade Secret documentation, engineer design programs, drawings, etc. utilized in the day-to-day business create the value of the ongoing
business.
On May
10, 2021, OriginClear announced that it had filed a patent application titled “System And Method For Water Treatment Incentive”,
for using blockchain technology and non-fungible tokens (NFT) to simplify the distribution of payments on outsourced water treatment and
purification services billed on a pay-per-gallon basis ahead of inflation.
With
the rising need for local, point-of-use or point-of-discharge water treatment solutions, the MWS licensed IP family is the core to a portable,
integrated, transportable, plug-and-play system that, unlike other packaged solutions, can be manufactured in series, have a longer life
and are more respectful of the environment.
The common feature of this IP family is the use of a construction material
(Structural Reinforced ThermoPlastic or SRTP), for the containers that is:
|
● |
more durable: an estimated 75 to 100-year life cycle as opposed to a few decades for metal, or 40 to 50 years maximum for concrete; |
|
|
|
|
● |
easier to manufacture: vessels manufacturing process can be automated; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
recyclable and can be made out of biomaterials |
In addition,
patents US 8,372,274 and US 8,871,089 (1 and 3) relate to the use of vessels or containers made out of this material combined with a configuration
of functional modules, or process, for general water treatment.
Other
subsequent patents, which build upon the original claims, focus on more targeted applications. These patents outline a given combination
of modules engineered inside the vessel to address a specific water treatment challenge.
On April 14, 2023, WODI entered
into an Asset Purchase Agreement with the Company, whereby it agreed to purchase all of the assets related to the Company’s “Modular
Water Service” business, including licenses, technology, intellectual property, contracts, business models, patents and other assets
in exchange for 6,000,000 shares of WODI common stock. The assets include an assignment of OriginClear’s existing global master
license to the five patents of inventor Daniel M. Early, P.E., who heads Modular Water, and the right to file patents for all additional
inventions since 2018, when OriginClear created the unit.
Recently, OriginClear commissioned a valuation of the
Early IP, which yielded a nominal value between $26,637,185 and $53,224,807. According to the valuation, the Projected Total Available
Market in 2026 exceeds $8 Billion.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require application of management’s
most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are
inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Not all of the accounting policies require management to make difficult, subjective
or complex judgments or estimates. However, the following policies could be deemed to be critical within the SEC definition.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize
revenue when services are performed, and at the time of shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and
risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.
Revenues
and related costs on construction contracts are recognized as the performance obligations for work are satisfied over time in accordance
with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, revenue and associated
profit, will be recognized as the customer obtains control of the goods and services promised in the contract (i.e., performance obligations).
All un-allocable indirect costs and corporate general and administrative costs are charged to the periods as incurred. However, in the
event a loss on a contract is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss, as it is determined. Revisions in cost and profit estimates
during the course of the contract are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts for the revisions become known. Provisions
for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance,
job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements,
may result in revisions to costs and income, which are recognized in the period the revisions are determined.
Use of Estimates
The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates include estimates used to review the Company’s goodwill, impairments and estimations of long-lived assets,
revenue recognition on percentage of completion type contracts, allowances for uncollectible accounts, inventory valuation, valuations
of non-cash capital stock issuances and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis
for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results
may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair
value of financial instruments requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, where
it is practicable to estimate that value. As of September 30, 2023, the amounts reported for cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable
and accrued expenses approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.
Results
of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Revenue and Cost of
Sales
For the
three months ended September 30, 2023, we had revenue of $1,363,840 compared to $3,366,061 for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $1,135,541 compared to $2,542,887 for the three months ended September
30, 2022. Revenue and cost of sales decreased primarily due to our subsidiary’s decrease in revenue.
Our gross
profit was $228,299 and $823,174 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Selling and Marketing
Expenses
For the
three months ended September 30, 2023, we had selling and marketing expenses of $470,566 compared to $712,420 for the three months ended
September 30, 2022. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses was primarily due to a decrease in marketing expense.
General and Administrative
Expenses
For the
three months ended September 30, 2023, we had general and administrative expenses of $904,223 compared to $1,085,044 for the three
months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a decrease in professional and
legal fees and outside services.
Other Income and (Expenses)
Other
income and (expenses) decreased by $20,927,132 to $(7,140,597) for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $(28,067,729)
for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in loss on non-cash accounts associated with
the change in fair value of the derivatives in the amount of $23,543,238, offset by an increase in present value of convertible secured
promissory notes of $1,690,500 an increase in impairment of receivable of $610,000, with an overall decrease in other expenses in the
amount of $315,606.
Net Income/(Loss)
Our net
loss decreased by $20,757,557 to $(8,294,666) for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to net loss of $(29,052,223) for
the three months ended September 30, 2022. The majority of the decrease in net loss was due primarily to a decrease in other expenses
associated with the net change in fair value of derivative instruments estimated each period. These estimates are based on multiple inputs,
including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price, volatility, variable conversion prices based on market prices
defined in the respective agreements and probabilities of certain outcomes based on managements’ estimates. These inputs are subject
to significant changes from period to period, therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period
to period, and the fluctuation may be material.
Results of Operations
for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Revenue and Cost of
Sales
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had revenue of $5,200,918 compared to $7,768,133 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
The cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $4,646,349 compared to $6,484,235 for the nine months ended September
30, 2022. Revenue and cost of sales decreased primarily due to our subsidiary’s decrease in revenue.
Our gross
profit was $554,569 and $1,283,898 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had selling and marketing expenses of $1,915,809, compared to $1,825,170 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2022. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was primarily due to an increase in marketing expense.
General and Administrative
Expenses
General and
administrative expenses were $3,008,988 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $2,900,203 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in professional and legal
fees including non-cash, shares for services expense and outside services.
Other Income and (Expenses)
Other
income and (expenses) decreased by $16,633,802 to $(13,797,523) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $(30,421,325) for
the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in loss on non-cash accounts associated with the
change in fair value of the derivatives in the amount of $27,938,016, offset by an increase in present value of convertible secured promissory
notes of $7,728,089, an increase in impairment of receivable of $3,260,985, with an overall decrease in other expenses in the amount of
$315,140.
Net Income/(Loss)
Our net
loss decreased by $15,713,484 to $(18,180,762) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to net loss of $(33,894,246) for
the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The majority of the decrease in net loss was due primarily to a decrease in other expenses associated
with the net change in fair value of derivative instruments estimated each period. These estimates are based on multiple inputs, including
the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price, volatility, variable conversion prices based on market prices defined
in the respective agreements and probabilities of certain outcomes based on managements’ estimates. These inputs are subject to
significant changes from period to period, therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period
to period, and the fluctuation may be material.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
Liquidity
is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate
on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable
and accounts payable and capital expenditures.
The condensed
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations,
realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company
has not generated significant revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going
concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, raising additional capital and increasing sales. We obtained funds from investors
during the nine months ending September 30, 2023. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available,
that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain
restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case of equity financing.
In connection
with our sale of Series M Preferred Stock conducted under Regulation A under the Securities Act, we may be subject to claims for rescission.
If this occurs, it may have a negative effect on our liquidity.
At September
30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had cash of $1,153,181 and $1,354,814 and a working capital deficit of $32,064,689 and $14,245,179,
respectively. The increase in working capital deficit was due primarily to an increase in convertible promissory notes, non-cash derivative
liabilities, accrued expenses and contract liabilities.
During
the period ended September 30, 2023, we raised a net aggregate of $516,300 from the sale of preferred stock in private placements and
$6,346,500 for WODI convertible secured promissory notes. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital
from financing transactions and future revenue.
Net cash
used in operating activities was $4,417,340 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $3,458,023 for the prior period
ended September 30, 2022. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to an increase in value added to note
purchase agreements, accrued expenses, non-cash derivative liabilities and accounts payable.
Net cash
flows used in investing activities was $3,007,285 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $17,138 for the prior period
ended September 30, 2022. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to an increase in notes receivables during
the current period.
Net cash
flows provided by financing activities was $7,222,992 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $4,544,966 for the
prior period ended September 30, 2022. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was due primarily to an increase in proceeds
from issuance of convertible promissory notes. To date we have principally financed our operations through the sale of our common and
preferred stock and the issuance of debt.
We do
not have any material commitments for capital expenditures during the next twelve months. Although our proceeds from the issuance of securities
together with revenue from operations are currently sufficient to fund our operating expenses in the near future, we will need to raise
additional funds in the future so that we can maintain and expand our operations. Therefore, our future operations are dependent on our
ability to secure additional financing, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Financing transactions may include
the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. Furthermore, if we issue additional
equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or
privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital may restrict our ability
to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may
have to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations.
We have
estimated our current average burn, and believe that we have assets to ensure that we can function without liquidation for a limited time,
due to our cash on hand, growing revenue, and our ability to raise money from our investor base. Based on the aforesaid, we believe we
have the ability to continue our operations for the immediate future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the
normal course of operations. However, there cannot be any assurance that any of the aforementioned assumptions will come to fruition and
as such we may only be able to function for a short time.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do
not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
revenues, and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are
a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried
out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)).
Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period
covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports
filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC’s
rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
There
were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15f of the Exchange Act) that
occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
the our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Internal Controls
In designing
and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed
and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure
controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment
in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
