Certain statements contained in this Report may contain "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our Company and management’s
expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, or strategies regarding the future, including our financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including
any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “continue,”
“could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plans,”
“possible,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,”
“will,” “would” and similar expressions, or the negatives of such terms, may identify forward-looking statements,
but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
Forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.
Investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on such statements. Actual results may differ materially from those set forth in
the forward-looking statements. Other important factors that we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected
results are summarized below, including the still ongoing impact of the current outbreak of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19"),
on the U.S., regional and global economies, the U.S. sustainable energy market, and the broader financial markets. The current outbreak
of COVID-19 has also impacted, and is likely to continue to impact, directly or indirectly, many of the other important factors below
and the risks described in this Form 10-K and in our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act. Other factors besides those listed could
also adversely affect us. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or
combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. In particular,
it is difficult to fully assess the impact of COVID-19 at this time due to, among other factors, uncertainty regarding the severity and
duration of the outbreak domestically and internationally, uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of federal, state and local governments’
efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 and respond to its direct and indirect impact on the global economy and economic activity, including
the timing of the successful distribution of an effective vaccine.
Statements regarding the following subjects, among others, may be
forward-looking:
Forward-looking statements are based on beliefs, assumptions and expectations
as of the date of this Form 10-K. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New risks and uncertainties
arise over time, and it is not possible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. Except as required by law, we are not
obligated to, and do not intend to, update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this Form 10-K, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise.
The risks included here are not exhaustive. Other sections of this
Form 10-K may include additional factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a
very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to
predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor,
or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given
these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Company History
Energy and Water Development Corp. (the “Company” or “EAWD”)
was registered as a Florida corporation under the name Eagle International Holdings Group Inc. on December 12, 2007 and, on March 10,
2008, the Company changed its name to Eurosport Active World Corporation.
On March 17, 2008, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Acquisition
(the “Acquisition Agreement”) with Inko Sport America, LLC (“ISA”), a privately-held Florida limited liability
company. In connection with the closing of the Acquisition Agreement, the Company adopted ISA’s business plan and the
Company’s current officers and directors were elected to their positions. This transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization
effected by a share exchange, wherein ISA was considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. ISA was administratively
dissolved in September 2010.
In September 2019, the Company changed its name to Energy and Water Development
Corp. to better present the Company’s purpose and business sector.
On November 9, 2021, the Company established an official Subsidiary of
EAWD in Germany to ensure the company is positioned to service its growing business in one of the EU’s most environmentally progressive
countries.
The Business
We are an engineering services company formed as an outsourcing green tech
platform, focused on sustainable water and energy solutions.
|
· |
EAWD builds water and energy systems out of already-existing, proven technologies, utilizing our technical know-how to customize solutions to our clients’ needs. |
|
· |
The Company offers design, construction, maintenance and specialty consulting services to private companies, government entities and non-government organizations (NGOs). |
In view of the increased world-wide demand for water and energy, our business
goals are focused on sustainable water generation and green energy production. To accomplish this, we set out to establish an outsourcing
green tech platform, providing engineering and technical consultation services to design the most sustainable technological solutions
that can provide water and energy. We also intend to secure all required technical, maintenance, education, and training related to the
identified technology solutions. To this end the Company has sought potential collaboration with green tech research and development centers
in Europe and has established a subsidiary in Hamburg Germany, where we have started to assemble the patent filed innovative Self Sufficient
Power Supply Atmosphere Water Generation Systems (eAWGs).
The green tech industry is constantly evolving due to ongoing and increasing
water scarcity as well as increased energy need in the world. Therefore, we believe that by designing the most sustainable renewable
solutions to these problems, EAWD will become an essential component of a rapidly growing industry with many new markets. The green tech
industry is complex because it still requires much promotion and information about its potential. Furthermore, regulations in each country
are different and, in many cases, several segments are regulated by both national and local (state, provincial, municipal) governments.
EAWD’s approach seeks to assist businesses with the growth and development of their general operations by ensuring the efficient,
profitable, and sustainable supply/generation of water and energy allowing our potential customers to focus on their business while adopting
strategies of sustainability. Using our identified technology, products, and services licensed or purchased from other technological sources,
we are delivering and installing a product set that suits the green technology water and/or energy needs of our customers. By using the
state-of-the art technological solutions and technologies identified, designed, and provided by EAWD and its collaborators, we believe
that our potential clients will be free to focus on the performance of their operations as well as with the water and energy consumption
or generation regulations within their industry. Our clients may be businesses seeking to upgrade their business processes or governmental
entities seeking to apply green technology solutions for the water and energy they supply to their constituencies.
We continue to be a development stage company. The Company presently assembles
its patent filled eAWGs at its workshop in Germany and outsources most of its engineering and technical services as well as services relating
to the promotion, selling, and distribution of the identified technological solutions. We presently have only six employees, from those;
Mr. Hofmeier, is our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board, and a significant stockholder, and Ms. Velazquez, is our
Chief Operating Officer, Vice-Chairman, and a significant stockholder.
We seek to focus on three main aspects of the water and energy business:
(1) generation, (2) supply, and (3) maintenance. We seek to assist private companies, government entities and municipalities NGOs to build
profitable and sustainable supplies/generation capabilities of water and energy as required by selling them the required technology or
technical service to enhance their productivity/operability. With its outsourced technical arm and its commission-based global network
of vendors, the Company expects to create sustainable added value to each project it takes on while generating revenue from its engineering
and technical consultancy services, project management, sale of our Self Sufficient Power Supply Atmosphere Water Generation Systems (eAWGs)
Solar Energy Generation Systems and Energy Management Systems, royalties from the commercialization of energy and water in certain cases,
and revenues from the licensed innovated technologies.
The following table depicts the Company’s service and product offerings
to its client.
We provide customized technology solutions and technical services, based
upon client need and preference, which may include any or all of the following:
|
· |
water/energy generation; |
|
· |
technical assistance; |
|
· |
strategic and financial partnering; |
|
· |
project management. |
The Company also focuses on addressing areas of the industry which concentrate
on new technological and engineering concepts relating to water and energy generation and those related components that assist in advancing
the green tech industry. These include:
|
· |
advancement of eAWGs; |
|
· |
development of techniques to attain self-sufficient supply of energy; |
|
· |
advancement of new ideas on energy generation, storage and management implementation; |
|
· |
designing, prototyping, and arranging the manufacture of new water and energy generation systems. |

2020; we have state of the art technology partners, technology transfer agreements, and technology representation agreements in place
relating to aspects of renewable energy and water supply. These unique key relationships offer important selling features and capabilities
that differentiated EAWD from its competitors.
The Company plans to generate revenue from its engineering and technical
consultancy services, project management, sale of our Self Sufficient Power Supply Atmosphere Water Generation Systems, Solar Energy Generation
Systems, and Energy Management Systems, royalties from the commercialization of energy and water in certain cases, and revenues from the
licensed innovated technologies.
Our Products
The technological solutions offered by our Company are the following:
Self Sufficient Power Supply Atmosphere Water Generation System (eAWGs)
& Aqua Mission Systems
Today, atmosphere water generators (AWGs) are standard equipment in many
places; however, operating AWGs requires high amounts of energy that is often not available in the places where they are needed most,
making the price for the generated water very high. Our innovative patent filled eAWGs are designed to have an internal power supply
and ability to generate power. Our eAWG system produces sufficient quantities of potable water even in very dry and hot climate
conditions and can be scaled to almost any size, community, and/or population. Presently, AWGs are largely used in Asian and African countries.
The majority of manufacturers of AWGs, which rely on dehumidifying, are located in China. Almost every U.S. based AWG brand is also supplied
by manufacturers in China.
By contrast, EAWD uses a proven German technology for condensate water
from the air based on A/C technology. We believe that this method allows higher, more efficient, sustainable performance and a larger
quantity of water generation because of its internal power supply and because it does not require high humidity to function. EAWD has
licensed the rights to use this German AWG technology for ninety-nine years. Our eAWGs line is different in size from the standard AWG
water generator line. Our eAWGs are energy self-sufficient and can condense large amounts of water out of the atmosphere and we believe
they could be a solution in countries around the world that deal with issues of water scarcity.
Our eAWG with an internal power supply works by first inhaling large
volumes of air, then cooling the air down to the dew point, and finally collecting, filtering, and mineralizing the resulting condensed
water. Through this process, pure drinking water is created that meets the quality standards of the World Health Organization (WHO). In
regions with high temperatures and high humidity levels, a single system Type I can generate up to 10,000 liters or 3,000 gallons of water
per day. Our eAWGs line starts at 3,000 gallons/day and can expand the water supply to ONE acre-feet/day, (300,000 gallons or 1.2 Millon
liter) which we believe, in effect, is essentially the ability to produce an unlimited supply of water. As a certified vendor of the United
Nations Marketplace, EAWD is introducing the eAWGs to the UN with the hopes of initially supplying them to large refugee camps around
the world in need of fresh water.
Solar Power Water Purification Systems
EAWD also seeks to respond to the growing need for drinking water
by proposing a water purification solution utilizing solar, photovoltaic energy and, when applicable, a mini-windmill or other alternate
source of renewable energy. The design of the system is ready to be built and delivered on demand.
Generally, drinking water is produced by passing sea water, lake water,
river water, or stagnant water through several stages of purification and treatment until it is rendered drinkable in accordance with
WHO standards. In the case of sea or stagnant water, we recommend a treatment via reverse osmosis membranes, which permits the retention
of dissolved solids and results in obtaining water of drinking quality. If the water being treated emanates from lakes or rivers, we recommend
treatment via an ultrafiltration membrane which functions by retaining suspended materials such as colloids, viruses and bacteria. The
systems proposed by EAWD are containerized and contain all the equipment necessary to function autonomously, in part due to an automatic
cleansing system that can be accessed remotely via satellite or the internet. Moreover, the machines use available renewable energy sources
such as solar or wind.
Solar Power Systems – a high-quality frameless glass-glass
solar panel with a supermatt surface.
Energy Storage and charging Solutions - a highly capable Solar
powered and Battery Management System (BMS) that allows controlled and optimized battery cell management and charging mobile stations.
Worldwide Business Relationships
EAWD has commission-based independent agents and distributors strategically
placed around the world (i.e. Germany, Mexico, United States, India, Canada, Australia, Colombia, Nepal, Kenya, Morocco and Thailand.
In total, we work with 34 commission-based independent agents and distributors to promote and sell EAWD’s technology solutions.
We believe that this worldwide presence through our agents and distributors
will provide us access to the most important markets in need of water, energy, and energy management solutions.
Competition
The market witnesses the presence
of a diversified array of large and small scale manufacturers resulting in a significant level of competition in the global market. The
competition in the market, both in the residential and commercial sectors, is projected to grow in intensity and is characterized by the
demand for advanced and reliable atmospheric water generator units. Rising demand for industrial-size eAWGs, particularly in regions facing
water shortages, is expected to create opportunities for new market players such as EAWD through 2027. Moreover, current research that
is focused on increasing overall product efficiency in the industry is anticipated to open new avenues for market players over the coming
years. According to an atmospheric water generator market size report [published by Grand View Research in 2020], some of the prominent
players in the atmospheric water generator (AWG) market include: Akvo Atmospheric Water Systems Pvt. Ltd., Dew Point Manufacturing, Saisons
Trade & Industry Private Limited, Water Maker India Pvt. Ltd., Planets Water, Water Technologies International, Inc. (WTII), SkyWater
Air Water Machines, Drinkable Air, Hendrx Water, Atlantis Solar, GENAQ Technologies S.L., Air2Water
LLC, EcoloBlue, Inc and Watergen. On some level, each of these companies faces the two main
industry challenges: carbon footprint and high-power requirement.
We compete by providing innovative systems assembled with state of the
art technologies and that contain self-sufficient power supplies, which make them more sustainable and profitable than the traditional
solutions. We also set ourselves apart by providing services that are valued by our customers such as reliable sales relationships, product
innovations, and responses to changing market/business needs.
Government Regulation
The manufacturing, processing, testing, packaging, labeling, and advertising
of the technologies that we sell may be subject to regulation by one or more U.S. federal agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration,
the Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Environmental Protection Agency, and by the standards provided by
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the World Health Organization for drinking water. Our operations may also be regulated
by various agencies of states, localities, and foreign countries in which consumers reside. Currently, the technologies we intend to use
in our solutions and our services are not subject to any governmental regulation in the United States although it is possible that the
FDA may choose to regulate the quality of water produced from atmospheric water generating machines in the near future.
Since the Company may be subject to a wide range of regulation covering
every aspect of our business as mentioned above, we cannot predict the nature of any future U.S. laws, regulations, interpretations or
applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative orders, when and if promulgated,
would have on the business in the future. Although the regulation of water is less restrictive than that of drugs and food additives,
we cannot offer assurance that the current statutory scheme and regulations applicable to water will remain less restrictive. Further,
we cannot assure you that, under existing laws and regulations, or if more stringent statutes are enacted, regulations are promulgated,
or enforcement policies are adopted, we are or will be in compliance with these new statutes, regulations or enforcement policies without
incurring material expenses or adjusting our business strategy. Any laws, regulations, enforcement policies, interpretations or applications
applicable to our business could require the reformulation of products, all of which are supplied by third parties, to meet new standards
or the recall or discontinuance of certain products not capable of reformulation, additional record keeping, expanded documentation of
the properties of certain products, expanded or different labeling or scientific substantiation.
Employees
As of December 31, 2021, we had six full-time employees. Over time,
we will be required to hire employees or continue to engage independent contractors in order to execute the projects necessary to grow
and develop the business. These decisions will be made by our officers and directors, if and when appropriate. We work with 34 commission-based
agents and distributors to promote and sell the Company’s technology solutions. These agents and distributors are independent contractors
with whom we have contractual relationships and are compensated solely based on commission.
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19)
of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As such, we are eligible
to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not
“emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements
of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive
compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote
on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We elected to take advantage
of all of these exemptions.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging
growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying
with new or revised accounting standards, and delay compliance with new or revised accounting standards until those standards are applicable
to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
We will be an emerging growth company until the last day of the first fiscal
year following the fifth anniversary of our first common equity offering, although we will lose that status earlier if our annual revenues
exceed $1.0 billion, if we issue more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt in any three-year period or if we become a “large
accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
We will qualify as a “large accelerated filer” as of the first day of the first fiscal year after we have (i) more than
$700,000,000 in outstanding common equity held by our non-affiliates as of the last day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter;
(ii) been a public company for at least 12 months; and (iii) filed at least one annual report with the SEC. The value of our outstanding
common equity will be measured each year on the last day of our second fiscal quarter.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
EAWD vs Packard
and Co-Defendant Nick Norwood - Case number 18-031011 CA-01 Miami-Dade County Circuit Court. The Company is requesting
the proof of payment for shares issued in 2008.
CocoGrove –
Case No. 09-81555 CA 21 in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The nature of the litigation was for breach of a lease agreement. This case is
concluded with a judgement against the Company on July 7, 2010 for $84,393 plus 6% interest which as of December 31,
2021 interest had accrued to $59,136. There have been no efforts to seek collection of this judgement. Management intends to settle this
judgement when it is in a financial position to make a payment.
Due to the nature of the Company's business, the Company may at times be
subject to claims and legal actions. The Company accrues liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred, and such
costs can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are based on developments to date and the Company’s estimates of the outcomes of
these matters. Except as set forth above, as of December 31, 2021 we are not currently subject to any legal proceedings, nor to the knowledge
of management are any legal proceedings threatened that are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Market
under the symbol “EAWD” There is currently a limited market for our common stock and the volume of our common stock traded
on any day may vary significantly from one day to another. Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Market’s OTCQB is often thin and characterized
by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. The availability
of buyers and sellers represented by this volatility could lead to a market price for our common stock that is unrelated to operating
performance. Moreover, the OTC Market’s OTCQB is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities quoted on the OTC Market’s
OTCQB is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a stock exchange like NASDAQ. There is no assurance that there will
be a sufficient market in our stock, in which case it could be difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.
On April 12, 2022 , the closing price of our common stock was $0.21 per
share as reported on the OTC QB Market maintained by OTC Markets Group, Inc.
The following table sets forth for
the respective periods indicated the prices of our common stock in this market as reported and summarized by the OTC Markets. Such prices
are based on inter-dealer bid and asked prices, without markup, markdown, commissions, or adjustments and may not represent actual transactions.

Penny Stock
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection
with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities
registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information
with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer,
prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a
description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains
a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer
with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description
of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d)
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document
or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size
and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction
in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its
salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating
to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock
held in the customer’s account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction
in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock
is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure
statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading
activity for our common stock. Therefore, shareholders may have difficulty selling our securities.
Holders
As of December 31, 2021, we had 796 record holders of our common stock,
holding 143,840,643 shares of common stock. The number of record holders was determined from the records of our transfer agent and does
not include beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in the names of bank, brokers and other nominees.
Dividends
We have not paid any cash dividends to our shareholders. The declaration
of any future cash dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements
and financial position, and general economic conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable
future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.
Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans
Reference is made to “Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial
Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters—Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans”

Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation
D”). We made this determination based on the representations of each recipient, as applicable, which included, in pertinent part,
that each such investor was either (a) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D or (b) a “qualified
institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act and upon such further representations from each investor
that (i) such investor acquired the securities for his, her or its own account for investment and not for the account of any other person
and not with a view to or for distribution, assignment or resale in connection with any distribution within the meaning of the Securities
Act, (ii) such investor agreed not to sell or otherwise transfer the purchased securities unless they are registered under the Securities
Act and any applicable state securities laws, or an exemption or exemptions from such registration are available, (iii) such investor
had knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that he, she or it was capable of evaluating the merits and risks
of an investment in us, (iv) such investor had access to all of our documents, records, and books pertaining to the investment and was
provided the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers regarding the terms and conditions of the offering and to obtain any additional
information which we possessed or were able to acquire without unreasonable effort and expense, and (v) such investor had no need for
the liquidity in its investment in us and could afford the complete loss of such investment. In addition, there was no general solicitation
or advertising for such securities issued in reliance upon these exemptions.
ITEM 6. [RESERVED]
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Introductory Statement
The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and
financial condition for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 should be read in conjunction with our financial statements
and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Report. This discussion contains forward-looking
statements and information relating to our business that reflect our current views and assumptions with respect to future events and are
subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements
to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements.
These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results,
levels of activity, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we expressly
disclaim any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any update or revisions of any of the forward-looking statements to reflect any
change in our expectations with regard thereto or to conform these statements to actual results.
Addressing challenges post-COVID-19 and current war in Ukraine.
COVID-19 is an incomparable global public health emergency that has affected
almost every industry and has caused the worst global economic contraction of the past 80 years (IMF). The concerted global efforts achieved
the development of vaccines that have helped to reduce a person´s risk of contracting the virus. However, the current war in Ukraine
lead us as well to considering the changes in consumer behavior and demand, purchasing patterns, re-routing of the supply chain, dynamics
of current market forces, and the significant interventions of governments; Disruptive activities could include the temporary closure
of our manufacturing facilities and those used in our supply chain processes, restrictions on the export or shipment of our products,
significant cutback of ocean container delivery from Germany, business closures in impacted areas, and restrictions on our employees’
and consultants’ ability to travel and to meet with customers. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future
developments, which still uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the
current conflict as well as virus variants and the actions to contain it or treat its impact, among others. COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine
could also continue to result in social, economic and labor instability in the countries in which we or our customers and suppliers operate.
If workers at one or more of our offices or the offices of our suppliers
or manufacturers become ill or are quarantined and in either or both events are therefore unable to work, our operations could be subject
to disruption. Further, if our manufacturers become unable to obtain necessary raw materials or components, we may incur higher supply
costs or our manufacturers may be required to reduce production levels, either of which may negatively affect our financial condition
or results of operations.
In light of these challenges, the Company is focusing its efforts on supporting
key areas of our business that will help us to stabilize in the new environment and strategize for what comes next. Those key areas are:
crisis and management response, workforce, operation and supply chain, finance and liquidity, tax, trade and regulatory, as well as strategy
and brand.
Critical Accounting Policies and
Estimates
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements
describes the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements. Certain of these significant accounting
policies are considered to be critical accounting policies, as defined below.
A critical accounting policy is defined as one that is both material to
the presentation of our financial statements and requires management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments that could have
a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Specifically, critical accounting estimates have the following
attributes: 1) we are required to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the estimate; and 2) different
estimates we could reasonably have used, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, would have a material effect
on our financial condition or results of operations.
Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot
be determined with certainty. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable
and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our
operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the financial statements as soon as
they became known. Based on a critical assessment of our accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting
the application of those policies, management believes that our financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States and present a meaningful presentation of our financial condition and results of operations. We
believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our
financial statements:
Risks and Uncertainties – The Company’s
business could be impacted by price pressure on its product manufacturing, acceptance of its products in the marketplace, new competitors,
changes in federal and/or state legislation and other factors and new technology. If the Company is unsuccessful in securing adequate
liquidity, its plans may be curtailed. Adverse changes in these areas could negatively impact the Company’s financial position,
results of operations and cash flows.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Energy
and Water Development Corp and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the periods
presented have been reflected herein.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates which are particularly significant
to the financial statements include estimates relating to the determination of impairment of assets, assessment of going concern, the
useful life of property and equipment, the determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation, and the recoverability of deferred
income tax assets.
Leases
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842- Leases (“ASC
842”). The lease standard provided a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the package of practical
expedients. As such, the Company did not have to reassess whether expired or existing contracts are or contain a lease; did not have to
reassess the lease classifications or reassess the initial direct costs associated with expired or existing leases. The lease standard
also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption
under which the Company will not recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing
ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases. The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and
non-lease components for certain classes of assets (facilities).
At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the
arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present in the arrangement. Leases with a term greater
than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and short-term and long-term lease liabilities, as applicable.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as
stipulated by ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities or a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes
the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced to estimated amounts to be realized by the use of the valuation allowance. A valuation
allowance is applied when in management’s view it is more likely than not (50%) that such deferred tax will not be utilized.
ASC 740 provides interpretative guidance for the financial statement recognition
and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In the unlikely event that an uncertain tax position
exists in which the Corporation could incur income taxes, the Corporation would evaluate whether there is a probability that the uncertain
tax position taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. A liability for uncertain tax positions would then be
recorded if the Corporation determined it is more likely than not that a position would not be sustained upon examination or if a payment
would have to be made to a taxing authority and the amount is reasonably estimable.
As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Corporation does not believe any
uncertain tax positions exist that would result in the Corporation having a liability to the taxing authorities. The Corporation’s
policy is to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of interest expense and
general and administrative expense, respectively, in the statement of operations. The Corporation’s tax returns for the years ended
2012 through 2020 are subject to examination by the federal and state tax authorities. The Corporation’s tax returns for the tax
year ended 2021 have not been filed.
We record our provision for income taxes in our consolidated statements
of operations and comprehensive loss by estimating our taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. We estimate our actual
current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences arising from differing treatment of items recognized for financial
reporting versus tax return purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets, which are included in our balance sheets. In general,
deferred tax assets represent future tax benefits to be received when certain expenses previously recognized in our consolidated statements
of operations and comprehensive loss become deductible expenses under applicable income tax laws, or loss or credit carry forwards are
utilized. Valuation allowances are recorded when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision
for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. We
make these estimates and judgments about our future taxable income that are based on assumptions that are consistent with our future plans.
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had recorded a full valuation allowance on our U.S. net deferred tax assets because we expect that
it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets will not be realized in the foreseeable future. Should the actual amounts differ
from our estimates, the amount of our valuation allowance could be materially impacted.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue
from Contracts with Customers, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised
goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange
for those goods or services.
To achieve this core principle, five basic criteria must be met before
revenue can be recognized: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine
the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or
as the Company satisfies a performance obligation. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized $550,000 in revenue
as a result of meeting the above criteria.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
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 a measurement date. A fair value hierarchy
requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring
fair value.
Described below are the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure
fair value:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at
the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities,
Level 2 – Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on
active markets, but corroborated by market data,
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data
is available.
Certain assets and liabilities are
required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company adjusts derivative financial instruments to fair value on a recurring
basis. The fair value for other assets and liabilities such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current
assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, customer/investor deposit have been determined to approximate carrying amounts due to the
short maturities of these instruments. The Company believes that its indebtedness approximates fair value based on current yields for
debt instruments with similar terms.
Stock-Based Payments
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2018-07 (“ASU 2018-07”),
“Improvement to Nonemployee Share Based Payment Accounting”, which expanded the scope of ASC 718 to include share-based payment
transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The guidance was applied prospectively to all new awards granted after
the date of adoption. In addition, the guidance was applied to all existing equity-classified awards for which a measurement date has
not been established under ASC 505-50 by the adoption date by remeasuring at fair value as of the adoption date and recording a cumulative
effect adjustment to opening accumulated deficit on January 1, 2019.
For the Company’s equity-classified awards for which a measurement
date has not been established under ASC 505-50, the fair value on January 1, 2019, the adoption date, approximated the value assigned
on December 31, 2018, therefore no cumulative adjustment to opening accumulated deficit was required.
Under the revised guidance, the accounting for awards issued to non-employees
will be similar to the model for employee awards, except that ASU 2018-07:
|
● |
allows the Company to elect on an award-by-award basis to use the contractual term as the expected term assumption in the option pricing model, and |
|
|
|
|
● |
the cost of the grant is recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the grantor had paid cash. |
Employee and Non-Employee Share Based Compensation
The Company applies ASC 718-10, “Share - Based Payment,” which
requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expenses for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including
employee stock options under the Company’s stock plans and equity awards issued to non-employees based on estimated fair values.
ASC 718-10 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based
option awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The fair value of the award is recognized as an expense on a straight-line
basis over the requisite service periods. The Company recognizes share based award forfeitures as they occur.
The Company estimates the fair value of granted option equity awards using
a Black-Scholes options pricing model. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are share
price, expected volatility and the expected option term (the time from the grant date until the options are exercised or expire). Expected
volatility is estimated based on volatility of similar companies in the technology sector. The Company has historically not paid dividends
and has no foreseeable plans to issue dividends. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield from governmental zero-coupon bonds
with an equivalent term. The expected option term is calculated for options granted to employees and directors using the “simplified”
method. Grants to non-employees are based on the contractual term. Changes in the determination of each of the inputs can affect the fair
value of the options granted and the results of operations of the Company.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes
(Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related
to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends
existing guidance to improve consistent application. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments –
Credit Losses to improve information on credit losses for financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for
at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects
expected credit losses. In April 2019 and May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326,
Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments” and ASU
No. 2019-05, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief” which provided additional
implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments - Credit
Loss (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842),” which defers the effective date for public filers
that are considered small reporting companies (“SRC”) as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission to fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Since the Company is an SRC, implementation is
not needed until January 1, 2023. The Company will continue to evaluate the effect of adopting ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion
and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This standard
eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting
for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions.
In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares
impact the diluted EPS computation. For public business entities, it is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021,
including interim periods within those fiscal years using the fully retrospective or modified retrospective method. Early adoption is
permitted but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact this new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic
260), Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives
and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modification or Exchanges
of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (“ASU 2021-04”), which will clarify and reduce diversity in practice.
Specifically, the new standard includes a recognition model comprising four categories of transactions and corresponding accounting treatment
for each category. The category that would apply to a modification or an exchange of an equity-classified warrant would depend on the
substance of the modification transaction (e.g., a financing transaction to raise equity versus one to raise debt). This recognition model
is premised on the idea that the accounting for the transaction should not differ from what it would have been had the issuer of the warrants
paid cash instead of modifying the warrants. ASU 2021-04 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim
periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU will be applied prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring
on or after the effective date of the ASU. We adopted ASU 2021-04 on January 1, 2022. Adoption of this standard had no material impact
on our consolidated financial statements.
Results of Operations
The following discussion should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report.
Comparison
of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020
Revenue
During the year ended December 31,
2021, the Company recognized $550,000 of revenue that was previously deferred in 2020, pending the inspection of equipment pursuant to
a sales agreement. For the fiscal year 2020, we generated no revenue.
Cost of equipment sold
The equipment sold was manufactured
by third-party fabricators in accordance with EAWD’s specifications at a cost to EAWD of $350,000, which was recognized along with
the revenue during the year ended December 31, 2021. No costs were recognized in fiscal year 2020.
Gross profit
EAWD recognized a gross profit
of $200,000 from the sale of equipment as discussed above for the year ended December 31, 2021, upon recognition of revenue. The Company
had no gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2020.
General and Administrative
Expense
General and administrative expense decreased by $6,021,949 or 84.1% to
$1,137,795 for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $7,159,744 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The following discussion provides
further explanation of the change in each item.
The largest element of change was a decrease in officer’s salaries
by $5,699,268 or 95% to $300,732 as compared to $6,000,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020.The decrease resulted primarily from the
two following events. To begin, in the first quarter of 2020 the Company issued a combination of common and preferred stock whose
value totaled $1,175,000 for our CEO and $1,063,000 for our COO in satisfaction of accrued salary accumulated during the previous years.
In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2020 the Company issued a combination of common and preferred stock whose value totaled
$2,850,000 for each of our CEO and COO as a bonus for among other things, successful structuring the Company’s first equipment sale.
The Company also issued preferred stock whose value totaled $300,000 for both our CEO and COO as settlement of unpaid accrued salaries.
Additionally, the decrease in general
and administrative expenses was primarily due to a reduction in management fees to affiliate by $325,000 as the contract with EAWC-TV
was terminated as of December 31, 2020 and a reduction in professional fees of $118,499 as a result of lower accounting fees, litigation
fees, legal fees and SEC matters. Those decreases were offset by an increase in marketing expense and travel and entertainment of $154,490
and $22,920, respectively, as a result of the Company’s efforts to increase branding and outreach.
Other Income
Other income (expense) increased
expense by $1,666,631 from a $433,040 net expense (2020) to a $2,099,671 net expense (2021) primarily as a result of a reduction of interest
expense of $860,108 as a result of reduced interest and amortization of debt discount, offset by an increase in the loss on the fair value
of derivative liabilities by $2,526,739.
Net Loss
Net loss decreased by $4,555,318 to $3,037,466 for the year ended December
31, 2021, when compared to $7,592,784 for the year ended December 31, 2020. As discussed above, this decrease was primarily attributable
to the compensation bonus and conversion of accrued salary into stock and increase in general and administrative expenses in 2020 along
with revenue recognized in 2021, partially offset by the increase in other expense in 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had cash of $589,668 and a working capital deficit of $757,053 at December
31, 2021. Our operating and capital requirements in connection with supporting our operations will continue to be significant. Since inception,
our losses from operations and working capital requirements have been satisfied through the deferral of payment for services performed
by our founders and related parties discussed more fully below.
We have sustained operating losses since we began our operations in 2012.
At December 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $22,395,393. The Company cannot predict how long it will continue to incur further
losses or whether it will ever become profitable as this is dependent upon the reduction of certain expenses and success in obtaining
project contracts, among other things. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going
concern.
We also satisfied our cash and working capital requirements in 2021, through
the sale of common stock , the issuance of convertible debentures, and the first sale of product. During the years ended December 2021
and 2020, the Company issued $404,000 and $466,000, respectively, in convertible debentures. The holders of certain of such instruments
had the option to convert these convertible debentures into the Company’s common stock at conversion prices ranging from $0.01 to
$0.20. The remaining holders at December 31, 2021 have convertible instruments with variable conversion rates. During 2021, holders
of convertible debentures exercised their conversion options on convertible debentures amounting to $285,355 of principal and accrued
interest in exchange 4,958,413 shares of common stock. The remaining convertible debentures at December 31, 2021 had all converted or
been paid by February 1, 2022.
Comparison of Cash Flows for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and December
31, 2020
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
We used $1,556,268 of cash in our operating activities in 2021 compared
to $869,393 used in 2020. The increase in cash used of $686,875 includes a net loss of $3,037,466, offset by non-cash expenses of $2,204,699
principally related to amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs of $770,134, depreciation expense of $299, change in
fair value of derivative liability of $1,269,266, and common stock issued for services of $165,000, as well as cash used in working capital
items in the amount of $723,501 principally related to an increase in inventory of $204,533, an increase of prepaid expenses and other
current assets of $435,150, a decrease in due to related party of $28,929, and a decrease in accrued management fees and due to officers
of $70,482, offset by a decrease in deferred cost of $350,000 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $218,096.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
We used $4,299 of cash to purchase property and equipment for the year
ended December 31, 2021. No cash was used or provided from our investing activities in 2020.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
We received $2,162,208 and $881,440 in cash from financing activities
in 2021 and 2020, respectively. Cash flow from financing activities of $2,162,208 is primarily due to increased financing in 2021 through
$1,888,208 in proceeds from the sale of shares and subscriptions to purchase common shares and $369,500 in proceeds from convertible loans
payable, offset by repayments of convertible loans payable in the amount of $95,500.
Financial Position
Total Assets – At December 31, 2021, the Company had
$1,326,738 total assets representing $589,668 in cash, $55,169 in accounts receivable, $196,553 in inventory, $432,082 in prepaid expenses
and other current assets, $3,834 in property and equipment, and $49,432 in operating lease right-of-use assets.
PLAN OF OPERATION AND FUNDING
We expect to generate more revenues which should, grow in time
and lead to a positive cash flow. In the near future, we expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through
lines of credit, convertible loans and/or further issuances of other securities in sufficient quantities that we will be able to meet
our working capital requirement from these possible sources. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt will result in dilution
to our current shareholders.
We seek to focus on three main aspects of the water and energy business:
(1) generation, (2) supply, and (3) maintenance. We seek to assist private companies, government entities and NGO’s to build
profitable and sustainable supplies/generation capabilities of water and energy as required, by selling them the required technology or
technical service to enhance their productivity/operability. With its outsourced technical arm and its commission-based global network
of vendors, the Company expects to create sustainable added value to each project it takes on while generating revenue from its engineering
and technical consultancy services, project management, sale of our patent filed Self Sufficient Power Supply Atmosphere Water Generation
Systems (eAWGs) Solar Energy Generation Systems and Energy Management Systems, royalties from the commercialization of energy and water
in certain cases, and revenues from the licensed innovated technologies.
Through our BlueTech Alliance for Water Generation established in
December 2020, we have state-of the art technology partners, technology transfer agreements, and technology representation agreements
in place relating to aspects of renewable energy and water supply. These unique key relationships offer important selling features and
capabilities that differentiated EAWD from its competitors.
The Company plans to generate revenue from its engineering and technical
consultancy services, project management, sale of our Patent filed Self Sufficient Power Supply Atmosphere Water Generation Systems (eAWGs),
Solar Energy Generation Systems, and Energy Management Systems, royalties from the commercialization of energy and water in certain cases,
and revenues from the licensed innovated technologies.

Compensation Shares, each executive received a one-time bonus of (i) 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock with an aggregate
fair market value of $1,500,000 and (ii) 2,700,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, with an aggregate fair market
value of $1,350,000.
Customer deposit
EAWC-TV functions as a distributor of EAWD product.
In 2019, EAWC-TV, having secured EAWD’s first customer, has placed a $550,000 order for a solar powered atmospheric water generator
(“AWG”) for one of its customers. EAWC-TV and the Company on December 13, 2019 agreed to accept a $303,742 reduction in the
balance owed by EAWD to EAWC-TV as a deposit with EAWD related to this order. The deposit was satisfied through delivery of the equipment
when performance has occurred. The equipment was built in Germany.
In 2020, manufacture of the unit was delayed due to
Covid-19 related issues. The Company and EAWC-TV agreed as it had done in 2019, to clear the outstanding balances in the D/T/F EAWC-TV
and the outstanding balance it carried in its accounts payable account for administrative services, which it did on December 26, 2020
which resulted in an additional down payment of $193,497. EAWC-TV has an unpaid balance on the equipment of $52,761, which represents
a majority of the balance of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivables as of both December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Going Concern Qualification
During the year ended December 31, 2021, pursuant to an equipment sale
agreement, the Company recognized revenue of $550,000 for a sale of equipment, along with $350,000 for the cost of construction, earning
$200,000 gross profit. The next step to accomplish is to achieve sufficient sales volume to yield positive a net income. The Company has
incurred operating losses since it began operations (December 2012) totaling $22,395,393 at December 31, 2021. During the year ended December
31, 2021, the Company incurred net losses of $3,037,466. The Company also incurred a working capital deficit of $757,053 at December 31,
2021.We are an early-stage company and have generated losses from operations since inception (we began operations in December 2012). The
Company expects its sales to continue to expand in 2022.
The Company’s ability to transition to profitable operations is dependent
upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support its cost structure. The timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based
on many factors, including cash flows from operations and the anticipated growth of our business and availability to sufficient resources.
Management expects sales operations to continue to expand. If necessary,
the Company may need to raise additional funds during 2022. Management of the Company intends to raise additional funds through the issuance
of equity securities or debt, credit lines or advances from suppliers. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends
upon its ability to generate sales or obtain additional funding to finance operating losses until the Corporation is profitable.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK.
As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to include
the disclosure required under this Item 7A.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.
The consolidated financial statements, notes to the consolidated financial
statements and the respective reports of the Company’s independent registered accountants required to be filed in response to this
Item 8 begin on page F-1.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING
AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”) served as the independent
registered public accounting firm for Energy and Water Development Company (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31,
2020, and reviewed the unaudited financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 respectively. After careful
consideration of the ongoing audit needs of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company has elected to dismiss Withum. The Company
notified Withum on October 22, 2021 that it would be dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, following
the filling of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
Withum’s report on the Company’s financial statements as of
and for the year ended December 31, 2020 did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified
as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except with respect to an explanatory paragraph indicating that there was substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and the subsequent interim
period through November 15, 2021, there were no (i) disagreements, within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Regulation S-K”), and the related instructions thereto, with Withum
on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements,
if not resolved to the satisfaction of Withum, would have caused Withum to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in
connection with its reports; or (ii) reportable events within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions
thereto, except for the material weaknesses described in Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2020.
The Company provided Withum with the disclosures under this Item 4.01 and
requested Withum to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with
the statements made by the Company in this Item 4.01 and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. Withum’s letter
is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which was filed on November 17, 2021.
On November 4, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the
appointment of TAAD LLP. (“TAAD”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s
financials for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 and to review the company’s unaudited quarterly financial information for
the quarter ended September 30, 2021, effective immediately.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December
31, 2019 and 2020, and the subsequent interim period through November 15, 2021, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has
consulted with TAAD regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or
the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice
was provided to the Company that TAAD concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting,
auditing, or financial reporting issue; (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv)
of Regulation S-K and the related instructions; or (iii) any reportable event within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d–15(e)
under the Exchange Act) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the forms and rules of the
SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO, in a manner to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosures.
In connection with the preparation of this Form 10–K, our management,
including the CEO and CFO (Principal Accounting Officer), evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls
and procedures as of December 31, 2021. As described below, management has identified material weaknesses in our internal control over
financial reporting, which is an integral component of our disclosure controls and procedures. As a result of those material weaknesses,
our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The term “internal control over
financial reporting” is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the registrant’s principal executive
and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the registrant’s board of directors,
management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and
procedures that:
|
· |
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the registrant; |
|
· |
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and |
|
· |
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the registrant’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance
to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal
control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can
provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, the design of a control system
must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. In
addition, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time.
As of December 31, 2021, management
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013) (COSO) and identified material weaknesses.
Due to financial constraints, we have not fully implemented a remediation plan. A “material weakness” is a significant deficiency,
or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or
interim financial statements will not be presented or detected by our employees.
The specific material weaknesses
that management identified in our internal controls as of December 31, 2021 are as follows:
|
· |
Inadequate segregation of duties, |
|
· |
Limited level of multiple reviews among those tasked with preparing the financial statements, |
|
· |
Lack of a formal internal control environment. |
We consider an incomplete governing board and transactions running through
our executives as a failure of our internal control system. To remediate we will require the time and funds to secure additional qualified
personnel and the funds to proper support services to facilitate their functions.
The Company is a non-accelerated filer and is not subject to Section 404(b)
of the Sarbanes Oxley Act. Accordingly, this Annual Report does not contain an attestation report of our independent registered public
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting, since the rules for smaller reporting companies provide for this
exemption.
Plans for Remediation of Material Weaknesses
We intend to implement changes to strengthen our internal controls in addition
to the enhanced controls discussed above. We are in the process of implementing a remediation plan for the identified material weaknesses
and we expect that work on the plan will continue throughout 2022, as financial resources permit. Specifically, to address the material
weaknesses arising from insufficient accounting personnel, the Company plans to hire a full-time Chief Financial Officer and has secured
the services of additional accounting personnel on a consulting basis which begins to address segregation of duties. The Company is currently
formalizing its policies and procedures in writing and to improve the integration of its financial and reporting system into non
accounting departments. Where appropriate, the Company is receiving advice and assistance from third-party experts as it implements and
refines its remediation plan.
Additional measures may be necessary, and the measures we expect to take
to improve our internal controls may not be sufficient to address the issues identified, to ensure that our internal controls are effective
or to ensure that such material weakness or other material weaknesses would not result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim
financial statements. In addition, other material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may be identified in the future. If we are unable
to correct deficiencies in internal controls in a timely manner, our ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information
accurately and within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC will be adversely affected. This failure could negatively
affect the market price and trading liquidity of our common stock, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information,
subject us to civil and criminal investigations and penalties, and generally materially and adversely impact our business and financial
condition.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as otherwise stated above, there were no changes in our internal
control over financial reporting or in other factors during the quarter ended December 31, 2021, that have materially affected, or were
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Energy and Water Development Corp. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
Note 1. Incorporation and Nature of Operations
Energy and Water Development Corp. (the “Corporation”,
“Company” or “EAWD”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on December 12, 2007. In September,
2019, the Company changed its name from Eurosport Active World Corp. to Energy and Water Development Corp. to better present the Company’s
purpose and business sector. We are an engineering services company formed as an outsourcing green tech platform, seeking to exploit
renewable energy and water technologies.
On November 9, 2021, the Company established an official Subsidiary of
EAWD in Germany to ensure the company is positioned to service its growing business in one of the EU’s most environmentally progressive
countries.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EAWD and
its subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Energy
and Water Development Corp. and Subsidiary and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of
operations for the periods presented have been reflected herein.
Certain reclassifications have been made in December 31, 2020 results to
conform to the presentation used in December 31, 2021 including the reclassification of $1,504,000 from additional paid-in capital to
common stock subscriptions on the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ deficit, reclassification of marketing fees out of other general and
administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations, and
the reclassification of amounts to due to related party from accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets
These
reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations of the Company or total equity.
Foreign currency translation
The United States dollar (“USD”) is the Company’s
reporting currency. The Company has a subsidiary located in Germany. The net sales generated, and the related expenses directly incurred
from the operations, if any, are denominated in local currency, Euro (“Euro”). The functional currency of the subsidiary is
generally the same as the local currency.
Assets and liabilities measured in Euros are translated into USD at
the prevailing exchange rates in effect as of the financial statement date and the related gains and losses, net of applicable deferred
income taxes, are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss in its balance sheets. Income and expense accounts are translated
at the average exchange rate for the period. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into
derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company used a spot rate
of 1.13 and an average rate of 1.83 when converting EURO to USD.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates which are particularly significant
to the financial statements include estimates relating to the determination of impairment of assets, assessment of going concern, the
determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation, and the recoverability of deferred income tax assets.
Leases
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842- Leases (“ASC
842”). The lease standard provided a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the package of practical
expedients. As such, the Company did not have to reassess whether expired or existing contracts are or contain a lease; did not have to
reassess the lease classifications or reassess the initial direct costs associated with expired or existing leases. The lease standard
also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption
under which the Company will not recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing
ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases. The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and
non-lease components for certain classes of assets (facilities).
Energy and Water Development Corp. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the
arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present in the arrangement. Leases with a term greater
than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and short-term and long-term lease liabilities, as applicable.
The Company does not have operating or financing leases.
Cash
The Company considers short-term interest-bearing
investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has $589,668 and $12,047 cash at December
31, 2021 and 2020.
Inventory
Inventory
is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. A reserve is established if necessary
to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their net realizable value.
Prepaid Expenses and Other
Current Assets
Prepaid expenses and other
current assets include purchase deposits, miscellaneous prepaid expenses, value added tax receivable, and a security deposit.
Property and Equipment
Property
and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recognized over an asset’s estimated useful life
using the straight-line method beginning on the date an asset is placed in service. The Company regularly evaluates the estimated remaining
useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment to determine whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision
to the remaining period of depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Estimated useful lives of the Company’s
Property and Equipment are as follows:
Schedule of estimated useful lives |
|
|
Useful Life (in years) |
Office equipment |

Furniture and fixtures |

Deferred
Financing Costs
The Company
has recorded deferred financing costs as a result of fees incurred by the Company in conjunction with its debt financing activities. These
costs are amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method which approximates the interest rate method over the term of the
related debt. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, unamortized deferred financing costs were $6,663 and $0, respectively and are netted
against the related debt.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
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 a measurement date. A fair value hierarchy
requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring
fair value.
Described below are the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure
fair value:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active
markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities,
Level 2 – Observable prices that are
based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data,
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs are
used when little or no market data is available.
Energy and Water Development Corp. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
The application of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC
Topic 820-10-35, our derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, were $354,160 and $310,641, respectively and
measured on Level 3 inputs.
Certain assets and liabilities are
required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company adjusts derivative financial instruments to fair value on a recurring
basis. The fair value for other assets and liabilities such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current
assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, customer/investor deposit, deferred cost and deferred revenue have been determined to approximate
carrying amounts due to the short maturities of these instruments. The Company believes that its indebtedness approximates fair value
based on current yields for debt instruments with similar terms.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as
stipulated by ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities or a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes
the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced to estimated amounts to be realized by the use of the valuation allowance. A valuation
allowance is applied when in management’s view it is more likely than not (50%) that such deferred tax will not be utilized.
ASC 740 provides interpretative guidance for the financial statement recognition
and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In the unlikely event that an uncertain tax position
exists in which the Corporation could incur income taxes, the Corporation would evaluate whether there is a probability that the uncertain
tax position taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. A liability for uncertain tax positions would then be
recorded if the Corporation determined it is more likely than not that a position would not be sustained upon examination or if a payment
would have to be made to a taxing authority and the amount is reasonably estimable.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Corporation does not believe any
uncertain tax positions exist that would result in the Corporation having a liability to the taxing authorities. The Corporation’s
policy is to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of interest expense and
general and administrative expense, respectively, in the statement of operations. The Corporation’s tax returns for the years ended
2012 through 2020 have been filed and are subject to examination by the federal and state tax authorities. The Corporation’s tax
returns for the tax year ended 2021 have not been filed.
Stock-Based Payments
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee
Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services.
Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted
to employees. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. This
ASU, which the Company adopted as of January 1, 2019, did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Stock-based compensation cost to employees is measured at the grant
date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service
period, based on the terms of the awards. The fair value of the stock-based payments to nonemployees that are fully vested and
non-forfeitable as at the grant date is measured and recognized at that date, unless there is a contractual term for services in
which case such compensation would be amortized over the contractual term. As the Reliance Global Group, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan
2019 was adopted in January of 2019, the Company lacks the historical basis to estimate forfeitures and will recognize forfeitures
as they occur.
Energy and Water Development Corp. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue
from Contracts with Customers, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised
goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange
for those goods or services.
To achieve this core principle, five basic criteria must be met before
revenue can be recognized: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine
the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or
as the Company satisfies a performance obligation. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized $550,000 in revenue
as a result of meeting the above criteria.
During 2021, the Company completed its first sale of equipment. Upon
approval of the inspection of the equipment by the customer, the Company recognized the revenue as it had met the revenue recognition
criteria and had satisfied the performance obligation of the contract through acceptance by the customer. During the year ended December
31, 2021, one customer accounted for 100% of the revenue.
Loss Per Common Share
The Corporation accounts for earnings (loss) per share in accordance with
FASB ASC Topic No. 260 - 10, “Earnings Per Share”, which establishes the requirements for presenting earnings per share
(“EPS”). FASB ASC Topic No. 260 - 10 requires the presentation of “basic” and “diluted” EPS on the
face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS amounts are calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during
each period. Diluted EPS assumes the exercise of all stock options, warrants and convertible securities having exercise prices less than
the average market price of the common stock during the periods, using the treasury stock method. When a loss from operations exists,
potential common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because their inclusion would result in an anti-dilutive effect
on per share amounts.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, an aggregate of 2,200,000 stock options
to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as the inclusion of such shares would
be anti-dilutive. These stock options expired as of December 31, 2021.
As discussed more fully in Note 11, convertible note holders have the option
of converting their loans into common shares subject to the terms and features offered by the specific convertible notes. Some note holders
were also granted purchase options to purchase additional shares subject to the features of each purchase option. If the convertible note
holders of unexercised convertible notes exercised their conversion feature and the additional purchase options, they would represent
2,083,293 and 2,406,227 in additional common shares at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The potential shares from both the conversion
feature and the rights to purchase additional shares were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as the inclusion
of such shares would be anti-dilutive.
Related Party Transactions
A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there
is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. A related party is generally defined as:
|
(i) |
any person that holds 5% or more of the Company’s securities including such person’s immediate families, |
|
(ii) |
the Company’s management, |
|
(iii) |
someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or |
|
(iv) |
anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. |

Note 3. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted
ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended
to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in
Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have
a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Accounting standards promulgated
by the FASB are subject to change. Changes in such standards may have an impact on the Corporation’s future financial statements.
The following are a summary of recent accounting developments.
In June 2016,
the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses to improve information on credit losses for financial assets
and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss
impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. In April 2019 and May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04,
“Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825,
Financial Instruments” and ASU No. 2019-05, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief”
which provided additional implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial
Instruments - Credit Loss (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842),” which defers the effective
date for public filers that are considered small reporting companies (“SRC”) as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission
to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Since the Company is an SRC, implementation
is not needed until January 1, 2023. The Company will continue to evaluate the effect of adopting ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity
(Subtopic 815-40). This standard eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments.
It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because
of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts
that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. For public business entities, it is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years using the fully retrospective or modified retrospective
method. Early adoption is permitted but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation – Stock
Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s
Accounting for Certain Modification or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (“ASU 2021-04”), which
will clarify and reduce diversity in practice. Specifically, the new standard includes a recognition model comprising four categories
of transactions and corresponding accounting treatment for each category. The category that would apply to a modification or an exchange
of an equity-classified warrant would depend on the substance of the modification transaction (e.g., a financing transaction to raise
equity versus one to raise debt). This recognition model is premised on the idea that the accounting for the transaction should not differ
from what it would have been had the issuer of the warrants paid cash instead of modifying the warrants. ASU 2021-04 will be effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU
will be applied prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the ASU. We adopted ASU 2021-04 on January
1, 2022. Adoption of this standard had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Energy and Water Development Corp. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
Note 4. Going Concern
During the year ended December 31, 2021, pursuant to an equipment sale
agreement, the Company recognized revenue of $550,000 for the sale of equipment, along with $350,000 for the cost of construction, earning $200,000 gross profit. The
next operational step to accomplish is to achieve sufficient sales volume to achieve net income. The Company has incurred operating losses
since it began operations (December 2012) totaling $22,395,393 at December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company
incurred net losses of $3,037,466. The Company also incurred a working capital deficit of $757,053 at December 31, 2021. We are an early-stage
company and have generated losses from operations since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s ability to transition to profitable
operations is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support its cost structure. The timing and amount of our actual
expenditures will be based on many factors, including cash flows from operations and the anticipated growth of our business and availability
to sufficient resources.
Management expects sales operations to continue to
expand. If necessary, the Company will need to raise additional funds through 2022. Management of the Company intends to raise additional
funds through the issuance of equity securities or debt or from deposits related to purchases orders on proposals pending customer acceptance.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to generate sales or obtain additional funding to finance
operating losses until the Corporation is profitable.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary
if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

31, 2021 and 2020, accounts receivable was $55,169 and $52,761, respectively, and determined to be fully collectible.

Note 7. Deferred Cost
During the fourth quarter
of 2020, the Company delivered its first equipment sale pursuant to an equipment sale agreement; however the delivery of the equipment
was deemed to be an unfulfilled performance obligation at December 31, 2020 as it had not yet passed inspection by the customer. During
the year ended December 31, 2021, the inspection of the equipment occurred, and the revenue and construction costs were recognized. Deferred
cost at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0 and $350,000, respectively.

Note 11. Convertible Loans Payable
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had
loans payable balances, net of discount, of $176,703 and $149,241, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company
issued convertible loans in the aggregate principal amount of $468,500. The aggregate purchase price of the notes was $443,500 and the
remaining $25,000 of principal represents the original issue discount. The notes bear interest between 0% and 8% per annum and all mature
within one year. The embedded beneficial conversion feature in the notes meet the definition of a derivative and requires bifurcation
and liability classification, at fair value. The fair value of the derivative liability as of the date of issuance was $1,609,895 and
was recorded as a discount of the notes.
The convertible
loans were issued in several different forms as discussed below.
Energy and Water Development Corp. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company
issued two convertible loans in the aggregate amount of $404,000. The notes bear interest at 8% per annum and all mature within one year.
On October 21, 2021, the Maturity Date of the $304,000 loan was extended from March 25, 2022 to April 21, 2022. The embedded beneficial
conversion features in the notes meet the definition of a derivative and requires bifurcation and liability classification, at fair value.
The fair value of the derivative liability as of the date of issuance was $746,672 and was recorded as a discount of the notes.

Derivative Liabilities
The Company issued debts that consist of the issuance
of convertible notes with variable conversion provisions. The conversion terms of the convertible notes are variable based on certain
factors, such as the future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued is based on the
future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the promissory note
is indeterminate. Due to the fact that the number of shares of common stock issuable could exceed the Company’s authorized share
limit, the equity environment is tainted, and all additional convertible debentures and warrants are included in the value of the
derivative liabilities. Pursuant to ASC 815-15 Embedded Derivatives, the fair values of the variable conversion options and warrants and
shares to be issued were recorded as derivative liabilities on the issuance date and revalued at each reporting period.
Based on the various convertible notes described above,
the fair value of applicable derivative liabilities on notes and change in fair value of derivative liability are as follows as of December
31, 2021 and 2020:

The fair value accounting standards define fair value
as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
As such, fair value is determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Fair value
measurements are rated on a three-tier hierarchy as follows:
|
· |
Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; |
|
· |
Level 2 inputs: Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and |
|
· |
Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 during
the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
During the years ended December 31, 2021 and
2020, the Company recorded a loss of $1,269,266
and a gain of $1,257,473,
respectively, from the change in fair value of derivative liability.

Litigation
EAWD vs Packard
and Co-Defendant Nick Norwood - Case number 18-031011 CA-01 Miami-Dade County Circuit Court. The Company is requesting
the proof of payment for shares issued in 2008. Based on the lack of evidence of payment, on March 12th, EAWD filed notice
of the parties ‘stipulation of mediator in accordance with the Court´s exhibit to Trial Order.
CocoGrove –
Case No. 09-81555 CA 21 in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The nature of the litigation was for breach of a lease agreement. This case
is concluded with a judgement against the Company on July 7, 2010 for $84,393 plus 6% interest
which as of December 31, 2021 interest had accrued to $59,136.
There have been no efforts to seek collection of this judgement. Management intends to settle this judgement when it is in a
financial position to make a payment.
Note 17. Income Taxes
The Company maintains deferred tax assets and liabilities that reflect
the net tax effects of temporary differences between carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and
the amounts used for income tax purposes. The net deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance because of the uncertainty
of the attainment of future taxable income. The Company did not have an income tax provision or benefit for the year ended December 31,
2021 and 2020. The Company has incurred losses and therefore has provided a full valuation against net deferred tax assets as December
31, 2021 and 2020.
The items accounting for the difference between U.S. and foreign
income taxes at the effective statutory rate and the provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were
