ORIGINCLEAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-UNAUDITED

MARCH 31, 2024

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of OriginClear, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

OriginClear was founded as OriginOil® in 2007 and began trading on the OTC in 2008. In 2015, it was renamed as OriginClear® to reflect its new mission to develop breakthrough businesses in the industrial water sector. Today, OriginClear structures itself as the Clean Water Innovation Hub™ and intends to use its well-developed retail investor development capabilities to help bring potentially disruptive companies to market. For the foreseeable future, however, OriginClear intends to devote its entire capabilities to the success of its subsidiary, Water On Demand, Inc. (WODI).

 

In 2023, OriginClear combined three of its operating divisions into WODI in anticipation of a merger of such subsidiary with Fortune Rise Acquisition Corp (“FRLA”) a Special Purpose Acquisition Company. The definitive merger agreement between WODI and FRLA was announced on October 24, 2023: https://www.originclear.com/company-news/originclears-water-on-demand-and-fortune-rise-acquisition-corporation-announce-business-combination-to-create-nasdaq-listed-company.

 

WODI is now composed of three operating units, Modular Water Systems (“MWS”), Progressive Water Treatment (“PWT”), and Water on Demand (“WOD”), the last being a development stage business.

 

PWT is responsible for a significant percentage of the Company’s revenue, specializing in engineered water treatment solutions and custom treatment systems.

 

MWS houses a worldwide, exclusive master license to the intellectual property of Daniel M. Early, consisting of five patents and related intellectual property, know-how and trade secrets (“Early IP”). In April 2023, OriginClear commissioned a valuation of the Early IP. MWS, features products differentiated by the Early IP and complemented with additional knowhow and trade secrets.

 

WOD is an incubation of the Company which intends to offer private businesses water self-sustainability as a service - the ability to pay for water treatment and purification services on a per-gallon basis. This is commonly known as Design-Build-Own-Operate (“DBOO”).

   

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. These factors, among others raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

6

 

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, achieving a level of profitable operations and receiving additional cash infusions. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company obtained funds from the issuance of convertible note agreements and from sale of its preferred stock. Management believes this funding will continue from its’ current investors and from new investors. The Company generated revenue of $6,573 and its operating divisions have standing purchase orders and open invoices with customers, which will provide funds for operations. Management believes the existing shareholders, the prospective new investors and future sales will provide the additional cash needed to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due and will allow the development of its core business operations. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case of equity financing.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OriginClear, Inc. and its subsidiaries Water On Demand, Inc. (‘WODI’), (which consists of operating divisions Progressive Water Treatment, Modular Water Systems and Water On Demand), Water On Demand #1, Inc., and OriginClear Technologies, Ltd. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalent

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used to review the Company’s impairments and estimations of long-lived assets, revenue recognition on percentage of completion type contracts, allowances for uncollectible accounts, warranty reserves, inventory valuation, derivative liabilities and other conversion features, fair value investments, valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Net Earnings (Loss) per Share Calculations

 

Basic loss per share calculation is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include securities or other contracts to issue common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company’s diluted earnings per share were not the same as the basic loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss.

Loss per share 

 

   For the Three Months Ended
March 31,
 
   2024   2023 
Loss to common shareholders (Numerator) – continuing operations  $(13,659,322)  $3,789,931 
           
Loss to common shareholders (Numerator) – related to assets held-for sale   (2,236,961)   (4,188,741)
           
Basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding (Denominator)
   1,443,544,402    1,062,100,064 

 

 

The Company excludes issuable shares from warrants, convertible notes and preferred stock, if their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive and includes the issuable shares if their impact is dilutive.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue when services are performed, and at the time of shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.

 

Revenues and related costs on construction contracts are recognized as the performance obligations for work are satisfied over time in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, revenue and associated profit, will be recognized as the customer obtains control of the goods and services promised in the contract (i.e., performance obligations). All un-allocable indirect costs and corporate general and administrative costs are charged to the periods as incurred. However, in the event a loss on a contract is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss as it is determined.

 

Revisions in cost and profit estimates during the course of the contract are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts for the revisions become known. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income, which are recognized in the period the revisions are determined.

 

Contract receivables are recorded on contracts for amounts currently due based upon progress billings, as well as retention, which are collectible upon completion of the contracts. Accounts payable to material suppliers and subcontractors are recorded for amounts currently due based upon work completed or materials received, as are retention due subcontractors, which are payable upon completion of the contract. General and administrative expenses are charged to operations as incurred and are not allocated to contract costs.

 

Contract Receivable

 

The Company bills its customers in accordance with contractual agreements. The agreements generally require billing to be on a progressive basis as work is completed. Credit is extended based on evaluation of clients financial condition and collateral is not required. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may arise if any customer is unable to make required payments. Management performs a quantitative and qualitative review of the receivables past due from customers on a monthly basis. The Company records an allowance against uncollectible items for each customer after all reasonable means of collection have been exhausted, and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $368,917 and $379,335 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The net contract receivable balance was $751,130 and $1,509,504 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Indefinite Lived Intangibles and Goodwill Assets

 

The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

 

The Company tests for indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with its policies, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill at March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and determined there was no impairment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill.

 

Prepaid Expenses

 

The Company records expenditures that have been paid in advance as prepaid expenses. The prepaid expenses are initially recorded as assets, because they have future economic benefits, and are expensed at the time the benefits are realized. The prepaid expenses balance was $11,936 and $0 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.    

  

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Gain or loss is recognized upon disposal of property and equipment, and the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while expenditures for addition and betterment are capitalized. Furniture and equipment are depreciated on the straight-line method and include the following categories:

 

Estimated Life     
Machinery and equipment   5-10 years 
Furniture, fixtures and computer equipment   5-7 years 
Vehicles   3-5 years 
Leasehold improvements   2-5 years 

 

   3/31/2024   12/31/23 
Machinery and Equipment  $383,569   $383,569 
Computer Equipment   66,493    66,493 
Furniture   29,810    29,810 
Leasehold Improvements   26,725    26,725 
Vehicles   64,276    64,276 
Demo Units   36,139    36,139 
    607,012    607,012 
Less accumulated depreciation   (467,539)   (460,277)
Net Property and Equipment  $139,473   $146,735 

 

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that the facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of any long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed following generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Depreciation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, was $6,582 and $6,690, respectively.

Other Assets

 

Long Term Asset Held for Sale

 

On March 1, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 630 shares of Series T Preferred Stock to an accredited investor (the “Purchaser’’) per terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”). Per the SPA, the Company agreed to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agreed to purchase from the Company, 630 shares of the Company’s Series T, and two-year cashless warrants to acquire 25,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $0.05 per share per terms of the SPA, which were exercisable at any time in whole or in part. The purchaser and the Company agreed that in lieu of the purchase price for the Series T, the Purchaser transferred to the Company real property, with an aggregate value agreed to be $630,000 based on an appraisal from an international independent company at that time. The real property consisted of residential real estate in Buenos Aires Argentina valued at $580,000, and eight undeveloped lots valued at $50,000 in Terralta private neighborhood development. The real property exchanged for 630 shares of Series T was recorded at $630,000 and reflected on the balance sheet as a long term asset for sale at that time.

   

The real property was listed for sale beginning in July 2021. However, based on indicators of impairment, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company adjusted the original value of the asset for sale from $630,000 to $514,000 and recorded an impairment of $116,000 in the consolidated financial statements.

 

During the period ended December 31, 2022, after evaluating several offers, the Company considered an offer for $400,000, which was $114,000 below the previously adjusted value and was indicative of the real estate market conditions in Buenos Aires Argentina. Based on that indicator of impairment, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company further adjusted the previous value of the asset for sale from $514,000 to $400,000 on the balance sheet and recorded an impairment of $114,000 in the consolidated financial statements. All Series T preferred stock was converted and the warrants associated with the Series T expired during the period ended December 31, 2022.

 

In January 2023, the Company accepted the offer and on April 8, 2023, a deed was executed for the sale of the property for $400,000. The agreed upon payment terms were; $235,000 initial payment and the remaining $165,000 to be paid over fifteen monthly installments of $11,000 each. The initial payment was received by SMS Argentina (“SMS”), an accounting and consulting firm that was appointed by the Company as the Power of Attorney for the property. From the proceeds, SMS remitted taxes due on the transaction to the Federal Administration of Public Income (“AFIP”), which administers taxation in Argentina. On June 21, 2023, the Company received a payment of $164,935, net of all taxes assessed by AFIP and other closing fees associated with the sale of the property totaling $65,493 and recorded a receivable of $169,572 for the remaining amount on the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023. Between July 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024, the Company received additional payments totaling $103,572. As of March 31, 2024, the balance of the receivable was $66,000 which is reflected on the consolidated financial statements.

    

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants vest immediately and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

 

10

 

 

Accounting for Derivatives

 

The Company evaluates all its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average series Binomial lattice option pricing models to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates.

 

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not the net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not to recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of March 31, 2024, the balances reported for cash, contract receivables, cost in excess of billing, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, billing in excess of cost, and accrued expenses approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.

 

We adopted ASC Topic 820 for financial instruments measured as fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

 

  Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
     
  Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
     
  Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

The following table presents certain investments and liabilities of the Company’s financial assets measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s balance sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2024.

 

   Total   (Level 1)   (Level 2)   (Level 3) 
Investment at fair value-securities, March 31, 2024  $66,492   $66,492   $
      -
   $
       -
 

 

   Total   (Level 1)   (Level 2)   (Level 3) 
Derivative Liability, March 31, 2024  $20,509,953   $
        -
   $
     -
   $20,509,953 

 

The derivative liabilities consist of $20,052,649 for convertible notes outstanding and $457,304 for warrants outstanding for an aggregate of $20,509,953.

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

  

Balance as of December 31, 2023  $7,742,759 
Net loss on conversion of debt and change in derivative liabilities   12,767,194 
Balance as of March 31, 2024  $20,509,953 

 

For purpose of determining the fair market value of the derivative liability, the Company used Binomial lattice formula valuation model. The significant assumptions used in the Binomial lattice formula valuation of the derivative are as follows: 

 

    3/31/2023 
Risk free interest rate   4.53% – 4.96% 
Stock volatility factor   141% – 219% 
Weighted average expected option life   6 mos - 5 yrs 
Expected dividend yield   None 

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company’s business currently operates in one segment based upon the Company’s organizational structure and the way in which the operations are managed and evaluated.

 

Marketable Securities

 

The Company adopted ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 requires investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. It requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purpose, and separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset. It eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The Company has evaluated the potential impact this standard may have on the condensed consolidated financial statements and determined that it had a significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company accounts for its investment in Water Technologies International, Inc. as available-for-sale securities, and the unrealized gain on the available-for-sale securities is recognized in net income.

 

Licensing agreement

 

The Company analyzed the licensing agreement using ASU 606 to determine the timing of revenue recognition. The licensing of the intellectual property (IP) is distinct from the non-license goods or services and has significant standalone functionality that provides a benefit or value. The functionality will not change during the license period due to the licensor’s activities. Because the significant standalone functionality is delivered immediately, the revenue is generally recognized when the license is delivered.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the current financial statements for comparative purpose. There was no material effect on the Company’s previously issued financial statements.

 

Work-in-Process

 

The Company recognizes as an asset the accumulated costs for work-in-process on projects expected to be delivered to customers. Work in Process includes the cost price of materials and labor related to the construction of equipment to be sold to customers.

 

12

 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

3. WODI ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD-FOR-SALE – DISCONTINUING OPERATIONS

 

On September 21, 2023, WODI entered into a merger agreement with PWT whereby WODI was merged with PWT. The merger of these entities was completed to create better enterprise value for a potential merger opportunity with FRLA. In connection with the merger with WODI, PWT changed its name to Water on Demand, Inc.

 

On September 28, 2023, the Letter of Intent (“LOI”) executed on January 5, 2023 with WODI was amended to designate PWT as the new target of the acquisition.  Under the amended LOI, FRLA proposed to acquire all the outstanding securities of the new combined WODI/PWT entity, based on certain material financial and business terms and conditions being met. The LOI is not binding on the parties and is intended solely to guide good-faith negotiations toward definitive agreements.

 

On October 24, 2023, FRLA and WODI entered into a definitive business combination agreement (the “BCA”). The transaction represents a pro forma equity valuation of approximately $72 million of the Combined Company, assuming no further redemptions of FRLA public shares by FRLA’s public shareholders.

 

On October 25, 2023, at the Special Meeting, FRLA shareholders approved a proposal to extend the period of time FRLA has to consummate its initial business combination by an additional one year from November 5, 2023 to November 5, 2024, by up to twelve one-month extensions, subject to certain conditions. 

 

On February 14, 2024, the Company and Fortune Rise Acquisition Corporation (Nasdaq: FRLA), filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC which includes a preliminary proxy statement and prospectus in connection with the proposed business combination with WODI.

 

In accordance with ASC 205-20, a disposal of a component or a group of components should be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when a component of or group of components meets the initial criteria for classification of held for sale to be classified as held for sale. Per the initial criteria for classification of held for sale, a component or a group of components, or a business or nonprofit activity (the entity to be sold), should be classified as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met:

 

Management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the entity to be sold.

 

The entity to be sold is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such entities to be sold.

 

An active program to locate a buyer or buyers and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the entity to be sold have been initiated.

 

The sale of the entity to be sold is probable (the future event or events are likely to occur), and transfer of the entity to be sold is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, within one year, unless events or circumstances beyond an entity’s control extend the period required to complete the sale as discussed below.

 

The entity to be sold is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value.

 

Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

Since the proposed business combination of WODI with FRLA, meets all the initial criteria for classification of held for sale, the assets, liabilities and operating results of WODI have been classified as held for sale in the period ending March 31, 2024 and financial statements of the prior year ending in December 31, 2023 have been adjusted to reflect comparable as follows:

5. RESTRICTED STOCK GRANTS AND WARRANTS

 

Restricted Stock Grants to CEO, the Board, Employees and Consultants

 

Between May 12, 2016, and August 4, 2022, the Company entered into Restricted Stock Grant Agreements (“the RSGAs”) with its Chief Executive Officer, the Board, Employees and Consultants to create management incentives to improve the economic performance of the Company and to increase its value and stock price. All shares issuable under the RSGAs are performance based shares. The RSGAs provide for the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock provided certain milestones are met in certain stages; a) If the Company’s consolidated gross revenue, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, equals or exceeds $15,000,000 for the trailing twelve month period as reported in the Company’s quarterly or annual financial statements, and b) If the Company’s consolidated operating profit (Operating Profit = Operating Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold - Operating Expenses - Depreciation & Amortization), calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, equals or exceeds $1,500,000 for the trailing twelve month period as reported in the Company’s SEC Reports. The Company has not recognized any costs associated with the milestones, because achievement is not probable.

On August 14, 2019, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the RSGAs to include an alternative vesting schedule for the Grantees and on January 26, 2022, the Company amended the procedures for processing the RSGAs. If the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the shares are vested is less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the effective date of the RSGAs, then the number of vested shares issuable (assuming all conditions are satisfied per terms of the alternative vesting schedule) shall be increased so that the aggregate fair market value of vested shares issuable on the vesting date equals the aggregate fair market value that such number of shares would have had on the effective date. Upon the occurrence of a Company performance goal, the right to participate in the alternate vesting schedule will terminate, and the vesting of the remaining unvested shares will be as set forth under the RSGAs. Shares are issued under the alternate vesting schedule per terms of the agreements after electing and qualifying requirements are met.

    

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, upon qualifying under the alternative vesting schedule, the Company issued an aggregate of 20,937,829 shares relating to the RSGAs and recognized an aggregate expense of $169,596 which is reflected on the financial statements as stock-based compensation.

The 2014-2015 Notes may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at conversion prices ranging from the lesser of $4,200 to $9,800 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends, combinations and other similar transactions) or 50% of the lowest trade price on any trade day following issuance of the 2014-2015 Notes. In addition, for as long as the 2014-2015 Notes or other convertible notes in effect between the purchaser and the Company are outstanding, if the Company issues any security with terms more favorable than the terms of the 2014-2015 Notes or such other convertible notes or a term was not similarly provided to the purchaser of the 2014-2015 Notes or such other convertible notes, then such more favorable or additional term shall, at the purchaser’s option, become part of the 2014-2015 Notes and such other convertible notes. The conversion feature of the 2014-2015 Notes was considered a derivative in accordance with current accounting guidelines because of the reset conversion features of the 2014-2015 Notes. As of March 31, 2024, the 2014-2015 Notes had an aggregate remaining balance of $683,700 which is long term.

The Nov 20 Note may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a lesser price of $0.05 per share or (b) fifty percent (50%) of the lowest trade price of common stock recorded on any trade after the effective date, or (c) the lowest effective price per share granted. In addition, for each conversion, in event that shares are not delivered by the fourth business day (inclusive of the day of conversion), a penalty of $2,000 per day shall be assessed for each day after the third business day until the shares are delivered. The conversion feature of the Nov 20 Note was considered a derivative in accordance with current accounting guidelines because of the reset conversion features of the Note.

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

 

The derivative liability recognized in the financial statements for the convertible promissory notes as of March 31, 2024 was $20,052,649.

Per the terms and conditions of the convertible promissory note, all unpaid principal, together with any unpaid and accrued interest shall be due and payable on the earlier of the twelve (12) month of the date of the Note (the “Maturity Date”) (provided, WODI shall have the option to extend the Maturity Date for up to two (2) six-month extensions), or (ii) when, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

   

FRLA is a blank check company incorporated in February 2021 as a Delaware corporation formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. FRLA is a “shell company” as defined under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, because it has no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash. The SPAC will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial business combination, at the earliest.

    

On January 5, 2023, WODI signed a non-binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) with Fortune Rise Acquisition Corporation, (“FRLA” collectively with WODI, the “Parties”). The LOI is not binding on the Parties and is intended solely to guide good-faith negotiations toward a definitive business combination agreement. The Parties will work together in good faith with their respective advisors to agree on a structure for the business combination that is most expedient to the consummation of the acquisition, which may result in a new (merged) entity. Pursuant to the LOI, if a business combination were to be consummated and approved, all of the outstanding equity securities of WODI, including all shares of common stock, preferred stock, outstanding options and warrants will convert into new equity of the merged entity.

On February 7, 2023, FRLA and OriginClear Inc. announced that WODI deposited $977,500 (the “Second Extension Payment”) into FRLA’s trust account for its public shareholders, representing $0.10 per public share, which enables FRLA to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by an additional three months from February 5, 2023 to May 5, 2023 (the “Second Extension”).

 

WODI assumed the obligation to make any necessary extension payments in connection with the extension of the period of time in which the SPAC may consummate its initial business combination as described in the SPAC’s S-1 Registration Statement, including the three-month extension from November 5, 2022 to February 5, 2023, the Second Extension for an additional three months from February 5, 2023 to May 5, 2023 and a final extension for an additional six months from May 5, 2023 to November 5, 2023.

 

On April 10, 2023, at the Special Meeting, a total of 10,514,410 (or 81.61%) of FRLA’s issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock held of record as of March 3, 2023, were present either in person or by proxy, which constituted a quorum. In that FRLA shareholders agreed to an extension of the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by an additional six months from May 5, 2023 to November 5, 2023. FRLA’s stockholders voted on to approve and adopt the extension amendment which received sufficient votes (more than 65%) for approval.

 

On April 14, 2023, WODI entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with the Company, whereby it agreed to purchase all of the assets related to the Company’s “Modular Water Service” business, including licenses, technology, intellectual property, contracts, business models, patents and other assets in exchange for 6,000,000 shares of WODI common stock. The assets included MWS accounts receivables and accounts payables as of April 14, 2023 and an assignment of the Company’s existing global master license to the patents of inventor Daniel M. Early, P.E., who heads MWS, and the right to file patents for all additional inventions since 2018, when OriginClear created the MWS unit. Beginning on the Effective Date, all MWS transactions including revenue, accounts payable and accounts receivable were transferred from the Company’s Progressive Water Treatment, Inc. (“PWT”) subsidiary over to the Company’s WODI subsidiary.

  

On September 21, 2023, WODI entered into a merger agreement with PWT to create better enterprise value for a potential merger opportunity with FRLA and a plan of merger agreement (the “PWT-WODI merger agreement”) was entered into between WODI and PWT. Per the PWT-WODI merger agreement, all shares of WODI common and preferred stock were exchanged for shares of PWT common stock as merger consideration. WODI convertible notes and WODI Restricted Stock Grants were assumed by PWT and remain outstanding. WODI Series A and Series B were converted to WODI common stock prior to the merger.

 

In connection with the merger with WODI, PWT changed its name to Water on Demand, Inc.

 

Before issuing common stock to WODI stockholders in the PWT Merger, PWT had 10,000,000 common shares issued and outstanding, which were fully owned by OCLN. Post PWT-WODI merger, OCLN received an aggregate of 2,171,068 shares of the Water On Demand, Inc.

 

On September 28, 2023, the Letter of Intent (“LOI”) executed on January 5, 2023 with WODI was amended to designate PWT as the new target of the acquisition. Under the amended LOI, FRLA proposed to acquire all the outstanding securities of the new combined WODI/PWT entity, based on certain material financial and business terms and conditions being met. The LOI is not binding on the parties and is intended solely to guide good-faith negotiations toward definitive agreements.

 

On October 24, 2023 FRLA and WODI entered into a definitive business combination agreement (the “BCA”).

 

On October 25, 2023, at the Special Meeting, a total of 5,687,847 (or 84.59%) of FRLA’s issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock held of record, were present either in person or by proxy, which constituted a quorum. FRLA shareholders approved a proposal to extend the period of time FRLA has to consummate its initial business combination by an additional one year from November 5, 2023 to November 5, 2024, by up to twelve one-month extensions, subject to certain conditions.

Promissory Notes

 

Since buying the sponsorship interest in the SPAC on December 22, 2022 through March 31, 2024, WODI and the Company made payments on behalf of the SPAC in the aggregate amount of $4,619,985. As of March 31, 2024, WODI and the Company received an aggregate of $4,619,985 in unsecured promissory notes (the “SPAC Notes”) from the SPAC in exchange for the payments made on behalf of the SPAC to meet its operating expenses and the extension payments. The SPAC Notes are non-interest bearing and payable (subject to the waiver against SPAC trust provisions) on the earlier of (i) consummation of the SPAC initial business combination; or (ii) the date of the liquidation of the SPAC. The principal balance of each SPAC Note may be prepaid at any time, at the election of the SPAC.

 

As of the date of this filing, the SPAC has been extended through November 5, 2024, to give the Company adequate time to complete all the necessary administrative and regulatory steps, including filing of the registration statement and timely respond to satisfy potential comments, from regulatory bodies to consummate the business combination. Management estimates the likelihood of completing the business combination at 75%.

 

Impairment of receivable

 

Although the payments made on behalf of the SPAC are amounts receivable to WODI, for the period ended March 31, 2024, WODI considered the aggregate amount of $590,000 for the SPAC Notes to be impaired and recorded it as an expense on the consolidated income statements, as it is deemed probable that the SPAC may not have funds to pay back with interest all of the Class A shareholders and WODI for the amounts advanced to the SPAC. In the event of WODI successfully merging with the SPAC, all amounts paid by WODI on behalf of the SPAC, including any future payments made until such merger is fully consummated will be received back by WODI.

 

Recording of membership interest:

 

As of March 31, 2024, WODI recorded the purchase of Class B Founder Shares at lower of cost or market at $400,000 on the consolidated balance sheet as other asset held-for-sale.

 

Impairment analysis for Class B Common Founder Shares as at March 31, 2024

 

The Company retained an independent valuation firm for the purpose of conducting a valuation of the fair value of Sponsor Founder Shares (Class B) of Fortune Rise Acquisition Corp. as of December 31, 2023.

 

The independent firm (i) evaluated and analyzed various Sponsor Founder Shares of Fortune Rise Acquisition Corp. (“FRLA”); (ii) assessed the terms including various redemption and liquidation features considering each of the Company’s financial plans and market conditions; and (iii) determined the underlying value to be assigned to the FRLA Sponsor Founder Shares as of the Date of Valuation and evaluated the FRLA Sponsor Founder Shares for impairment by performing the following procedures:

 

Analyzed the Company’s S-4 filing, business combination agreement and other documentation.

 

  Developed Monte Carlo Model that values the FRLA Sponsor Founder Shares based on a multipath random event model and future projections of the various potential outcomes. The Monte Carlo Model simulation included 50,000 iterations and simulated the stock price, the timing of the business combination, and the timing of the lapse of the transfer restrictions.
     
  Developed the discounted cash flow from the sale of the securities at the time the restrictions terminated.
     
  Probability weighted the cash flow, discounted for lack of marketability.

 

  Valued the FRLA Sponsor Founder Shares as of the date of valuation.

 

Based on the procedures performed the independent valuation firm concluded that the value of FRLA Sponsor Founder Shares was not impaired.

Restricted Stock to WODI Board, Employees and Consultants

 

Between August 12, 2022, and August 3, 2023, WODI entered into Restricted Stock Grant Agreements (the “WODI RSGAs”) with its members of the Board, employees, and consultants to create management incentives to improve the economic performance of WODI and to increase its value. WODI RSGAs provide for the issuance of up to 15,550,000 shares of WODI common stock provided certain milestones and vesting are met in certain stages. The restricted shares may become fully vested and no longer subject to risk of forfeiture (“Vested Shares”) if WODI shares are uplisted to a National Exchange, then upon such uplisting, 25% of the restricted shares that shall vest and become Vested Shares and 6.25% each three-month period thereafter, subject to the following: (i) If WODI shares are traded on a National Exchange, then the amount of restricted shares which shall become Vested Shares during any three-month period shall not exceed an amount representing the greater of (a) 1% of the shares of common stock outstanding as shown by the most recent SEC Report published by WODI and (b) the average weekly reported volume of trading in the common stock on a national securities exchange during the previous four calendar weeks. (ii) If WODI shares are subsequently delisted and quoted on the over-the-counter market, including the OTCQB, then the amount of restricted shares which shall become Vested Shares during any three month period shall not exceed an amount representing 1% of the shares of common stock outstanding as shown by the most recent SEC Report published by WODI, or if WODI shares are traded on a national securities exchange, the greater of (b)(i) and the average weekly reported volume of trading in the common stock on a national securities exchange during the previous four calendar weeks. If WODI shares do not achieve listing on a national securities exchange within three years of the Effective Date, then the restricted shares shall vest and become Vested Shares at a rate equal to 25% on the three-year anniversary of the Effective Date and 6.25% each three-month period thereafter. WODI has not recognized any costs associated the WODI RSGAs because milestones and vesting have not been achieved. As the milestones are achieved, the shares shall become eligible for vesting and issuance. On September 21, 2023, per the Merger Plan Agreement and per the conversion ratio of 0.19737 established in the Merger Plan Agreement, the 15,550,000 total issuable shares under the WODI RSGAs were converted to 3,069,100 total issuable shares. On October 23, 2023, certain WODI RSGAs were canceled and new WODI RSGAs were issued. As of March 31, 2024, there were 2,581,344 total issuable shares under the WODI RSGAs. As the milestones are achieved, the shares shall become eligible for vesting and issuance. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, no issuable shares under the WODI RSGAs vested and no costs associated with the milestones were recognized because achievement is not probable.

 

11. LINE OF CREDIT

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company obtained 12 month credit lines in the aggregate amount of $345,875, with an interest rate of 26.07%. Through March 31, 2024, the Company paid principal in the amount of $256,107, leaving a principal balance of $89,768 as of March 31, 2024.

 

12. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE – CONTINUING OPERATIONS

 

On March 1, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 630 shares of Series T Preferred Stock to an accredited investor (the “Purchaser’’) per terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”). Per the SPA, the Company agreed to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agreed to purchase from the Company, 630 shares of the Company’s Series T, and two-year cashless warrants to acquire 25,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $0.05 per share per terms of the SPA, which were exercisable at any time in whole or in part. The purchaser and the Company agreed that in lieu of the purchase price for the Series T, the Purchaser transferred to the Company real property, with an aggregate value agreed to be $630,000 based on an appraisal from an international independent company at that time. The real property consisted of real estate in Buenos Aires Argentina. The real property exchanged for 630 shares of Series T was recorded at $630,000 at that time. Based on indicator of impairment, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company adjusted the original value of the asset for sale from $630,000 to $514,000 and recorded an impairment of $116,000 in the consolidated financial statements.

 

During the period ended December 31, 2022, after evaluating several offers, the Company considered an offer for $400,000, which was $114,000 below the previously adjusted value and was indicative of the real estate market conditions in Buenos Aires Argentina. Based on that indicator of impairment, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company further adjusted the previous value of the asset for sale from $514,000 to $400,000 on the balance sheet and recorded an impairment of $114,000 in the consolidated financial statements. All Series T preferred stock was converted and the warrants associated with the Series T expired during the period ended December 31, 2022.

 

In January 2023, the Company accepted the offer and on April 8, 2023, a deed was executed for the sale of the property for $400,000. The agreed upon payment terms were; $235,000 initial payment and the remaining $165,000 to be paid over fifteen monthly installments of $11,000 each. The initial payment was received by SMS Argentina (“SMS”), an accounting and consulting firm that was appointed by the Company as the Power of Attorney for the property. From the proceeds, SMS remitted taxes due on the transaction to the Federal Administration of Public Income (“AFIP”), which administers taxation in Argentina. On June 21, 2023, the Company received a payment of $164,935, net of all taxes assessed by AFIP and other closing fees associated with the sale of the property totaling $65,493 and recorded a receivable of $169,572 for the remaining balance. Between July 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024, the Company received additional payments totaling $103,572. As of March 31, 2024, the balance of the receivable was $66,000 which is reflected on the consolidated financial statements.

Organizational History

 

OriginClear was founded as OriginOil® in 2007 and began trading on the OTC in 2008. In 2015, it was renamed as OriginClear® to reflect its new mission to develop breakthrough businesses in the industrial water sector. Today, OriginClear structures itself as the Clean Water Innovation Hub™ (“CWIB”) and intends to use its well-developed retail investor development capabilities to help bring potentially disruptive companies to market. For the foreseeable future, however, OriginClear intends to devote its entire capabilities to the success of its subsidiary, Water On Demand, Inc. (WODI).

 

In 2023, OriginClear combined three of its operating divisions into the single WODI subsidiary, in anticipation of a merger of such subsidiary with Fortune Rise Acquisition Corp (“FRLA”) a Special Purpose Acquisition Company. The definitive merger agreement between WODI and FRLA was announced on October 24, 2023: https://www.originclear.com/company-news/originclears-water-on-demand-and-fortune-rise-acquisition-corporation-announce-business-combination-to-create-nasdaq-listed-company.

 

WODI is composed of three operating units, Modular Water Systems (“MWS”), Progressive Water Treatment (“PWT”), and Water on Demand (“WOD”), the last being a development stage business.

 

  PWT is responsible for a significant percentage of the Company’s revenue, specializing in engineered water treatment solutions and custom treatment systems.

 

  MWS houses a worldwide, exclusive master license to the intellectual property of Daniel M. Early, consisting of five patents and related intellectual property, know-how and trade secrets (“Early IP”). In April 2023, OriginClear commissioned a valuation of the Early IP, which yielded a nominal value between $26,637,185 and $53,224,807. MWS features products differentiated by the Early IP and complemented with additional knowhow and trade secrets.

 

  WOD is an incubation of the Company which intends to offer private businesses water self-sustainability as a service - the ability to pay for water treatment and purification services on a per-gallon basis. This is commonly known as Design-Build-Own-Operate (“DBOO”).

Water Businesses

 

The Company develops and incubates businesses in its role as the Clean Water Innovation Hub™ (“CWIB”). The mission of CWIB in general, is to create valuable properties through an incubation process that results in the launching of valuable spinoffs that add value to the world’s water industry, among others.

 

Currently, OriginClear’s mission as the CWIB is the following:

 

1. Support the rollout of the WODI post-merger entity (by retaining name). OriginClear has proposed a post-merger management services contract with WODI, which over time will be phased out as WODI builds its own internal team and capabilities;

 

2. In particular, OriginClear is assisting WODI with its aggressive acquisitions plan, starting now and to be finalized post the SPAC merger (there is no assurance of success for the merger or for the planned acquisitions);

 

3. Initiate non-binding agreements for the acquisition of related businesses by WODI or the post-merger entity, which will depend on the outcome of the BCA process; and

 

4. For its own account, to accelerate new businesses that it may create (as it did with MWS in 2018 and with WOD in 2021), acquire (as it did with PWT in 2015) or partner with strategically. For this new phase, the Company may also engage in projects outside the water industry.

   

On April 2, 2024 OCLN announced a strategic partnership with entrepreneur Kevin Harrington, a co-founding board member of the Entrepreneur’s Organization, to bring critical global attention to OriginClear's crowdfunding campaign, now in a preview invitational stage.  https://www.originclear.com/company-news/original-shark-kevin-harrington-brings-his-star-power-to-originclear-crowdfunding-campaign.

 

Water On Demand

 

The Company is developing an outsourced water treatment business called Water On Demand (“WOD”), which it conducts through its subsidiary, Water on Demand, Inc. (“WODI”). The WOD model intends to offer private businesses water self-sustainability as a service, the ability to pay for water treatment and purification services on a per-gallon basis, with a percentage of net profits paid to investors and stakeholders. This is commonly known as Design-Build-Own-Operate or “DBOO”. The Company is currently evaluating pilot opportunities to enable outsourced water treatment as a managed service and that is paid by the gallon as an alternative to having to come up with significant up-front capital for in-house wastewater treatment. Recently, the Company announced agreements with water services company Enviromaintenance and utility network software provider Klir, to help develop a WOD commercial pilot in the Mobile Home Park sector.

  

WODI may build, maintain and service the water treatment systems it finances, but as these expand it intends to contract with regional water service companies to carry out these functions. On April 6, 2022, an agreement in principle was reached to work with the first of these intended contractors, Envirogen Technologies (www.envirogen.com), a 30-year international provider of environmental technology and process solutions (www.originclear.com/company-news/originclear-and-envirogen-to-partner-on-water-on-demand). Future resources to build, maintain and service these financed systems may come from acquisitions; however, these are not actively being planned.

 

31

 

 

WODI delegates the building and operating of WOD-financed systems to regional water companies under performance contract, with the aim of developing a network of such partners. This is expected to enable rapid scale-up of the WOD program, and the partner network would create a high barrier to entry for competitors.

 

At the time of this filing, the WOD division of WODI has no staff or independent resources. WODI’s PWT and MWS divisions have a total of 32 employees. The Board of Directors of OriginClear serves as the Board for WODI, the CEO of OriginClear serves as CEO of WODI, and the CFO of OriginClear also serves as CFO of WODI. Under a management services arrangement, OCLN provides WODI with staffing and administrative resources in return for the funding for WODI’s prospective merger with FRLA and the making of certain special distributions.

 

On February 15, 2024, the Company and Fortune Rise Acquisition Corporation (Nasdaq: FRLA), a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC), announced the filing of a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC which includes a preliminary proxy statement and prospectus in connection with the proposed business combination with OCLN subsidiary Water On Demand (WODI), an investor-funded service offering decentralized water management solutions and technologies to businesses and communities, potentially without the burden of upfront capital expenditures. WODI is a subsidiary of OriginClear, Inc. (OTC Other: OCLN). https://www.originclear.com/company-news/originclears-water-on-demand-and-fortune-rise-acquisition-corporation-seek-to-combine-under-form-s-4-registration-statement.

 

On March 26, 2024, the Company announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Modular Water Systems (MWS) and Enviromaintenance of Georgetown, TX to collaborate on its planned Water On Demand pilot program focusing on mobile home parks (MHP) in the Greater Central Texas Region. https://www.originclear.com/company-news/originclears-modular-water-systems-and-enviromaintenance-partner-for-water-on-demand-pilot-program

 

On April 9, 2024, the Company announced the selection of Klir, Inc. (www.klir.com) to support its planned Water On Demand pilot program focusing on mobile home parks (MHP) in the Greater Central Texas Region. https://www.originclear.com/company-news/modular-water-systems-and-klir-partner-for-water-on-demand-pilot-program.

On August 12, 2022, the Company announced the inaugural delivery and installation of its pre-engineered EveraBOX™ to implement a low-risk Liquid Ammonium Sulfate (LAS) disinfectant system for Pennsylvania’s Beaver Falls Municipal Water Authority (BFMA). Typical of MWS products, EveraBOX is manufactured using inexpensive, long-lasting High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) or Polypropylene (PP) materials. These are also classified as Structural Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipe (SRTP). These materials have proven to be less affected by supply chain issues currently impacting metal and fiberglass construction.

 

On January 10, 2024, OCLN and Buda, Texas-based Plastic Welding and Fabrication, Ltd. (PWF) jointly announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for a strategic partnership between OriginClear’s subsidiary, Water On Demand, Inc. (“WODI”), and PWF. https://www.originclear.com/company-news/originclears-water-on-demand-in-strategic-partnership-with-the-intent-to-acquire-manufacturer-for-its-proprietary-modular-products.

 

PWF is already a key fabricator of highly durable, patent-based enclosures for Modular Water Systems (MWS), the technology division of WODI that designs and develops highly scalable systems for self-contained water treatment and transportation. The MOU enhances the strategic relationship and enables MWS to build its complete water systems right where the enclosures are manufactured, for maximum efficiency and speed.

 

Additionally, the parties signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) which provides a framework for negotiating a definitive agreement for WODI to acquire PWF and, if executed, would establish the first in-house manufacturing facility for WODI’s Modular Water Systems division. The acquisition is expected to be accretive. The parties caution that talks are in an early stage and may not succeed.

 

On March 26, 2024, OCLN announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Modular Water Systems (MWS) and Enviromaintenance of Georgetown, TX to collaborate on sales of standardized systems in the Greater Central Texas Region, from Waco to San Antonio. Enviromaintenance (www.enviromaintenance.com) is a leading provider of large community scale-on-site wastewater treatment and disposal systems, with a significant market presence in the Mobile Home Park (MHP) industry in the greater Austin area. The company plans to recommend MWS’s fully integrated, modular wastewater treatment systems to MHPs, thereby providing mobile home park owners an affordable, reliable and efficient way to treat their wastewater. https://www.originclear.com/company-news/originclears-modular-water-systems-and-enviromaintenance-partner-for-water-on-demand-pilot-program.

 

Patents and Intellectual Property

 

On June 25, 2018, Dan Early granted the Company a worldwide, exclusive non-transferable license to intellectual property consisting of five issued US patents, and design software, CAD, marketing, design and specification documents (“Early IP”).

 

On May 20, 2020, we agreed on a renewal of the license for an additional ten years, with three-year extensions. We also gained the right to sublicense, and, with approval, to create ISO-compliant manufacturing joint ventures.

 

The license to the Early IP was included as part of the sale of the MWS assets to WODI on April 14, 2023.

The Early IP consists of combined protection on the materials and configurations of complete packaged water treatment systems, built into containers. The patents consist of the following:

On May 10, 2021, OriginClear announced that it had filed a patent application titled “System And Method For Water Treatment Incentive”, for using blockchain technology and non-fungible tokens (NFT) to simplify the distribution of payments on outsourced water treatment and purification services billed on a pay-per-gallon basis ahead of inflation. 

 

With the rising need for local, point-of-use or point-of-discharge water treatment solutions, the Modular Water Systems licensed IP family is the core to a portable, integrated, transportable, plug-and-play system that, unlike other packaged solutions, can be manufactured in series, have a longer life and are more respectful of the environment.

 

The common feature of this IP family is the use of a construction material (Structural Reinforced ThermoPlastic), for the containers that is:

 

  more durable: an estimated 75 to 100-year life cycle as opposed to a few decades for metal, or 40 to 50 years maximum for concrete;
     
  easier to manufacture: vessels manufacturing process can be automated; and
     
  recyclable and can be made out of biomaterials

 

In addition, Patent No. 8,372,274 relates to the use of vessels or containers made out of this material combined with a configuration of functional modules, or process, for general water treatment.

 

Patent Nos. 8,561,633 and 8,871,089 are currently expired, however the Company believes these may be reinstated. Patent No. 8,561,633 is a stormwater filtration patent that does not pertain to the MWS business model. Patent No. 8,871,089 is a Continuation-in-Part (CIP) on the original Patent No. 8,372,274. This original patent and Patent No. 9,217,244 are the basis for the current MWS business and therefore the status of the CIP is not considered material.

 

Other subsequent patents, which build upon the original claims, focus on more targeted applications. These patents outline a given combination of modules engineered inside the vessel to address a specific water treatment challenge.

 

With the spinoff of Water On Demand Inc and its operating divisions, the Company holds no patents directly, but indirectly has access to the licensed patents through MWS. The licensed intellectual property consists of five issued US patents, and design software, CAD, marketing, design and specification documents.

 

On May 10, 2021, the Company announced that it filed “System And Method For Water Treatment Incentive”, a patent application for using blockchain technology and non-fungible tokens (NFT) to simplify the distribution of payments on outsourced water treatment and purification services billed on a pay-per-gallon basis ahead of inflation. The application status is provisional.

 

The ORIGINCLEAR trademark application has newly registered as US Trademark Registration 7,296,730 issued on February 6, 2024. The ORIGINCLEAR logo trademark application has registered as US Trademark Registration 7,296,731 issued on February 6, 2024.

Other trademarks in process of registration include:

 

Trademarks: $H2O, WATERPRENEUR, CLEARAQUA, THE WATER COIN FOR THE WORLD, WATER - THE BLUE GOLD, THE CLEAN WATER INNOVATION HUB.

 

The Company relies and expects to continue to rely on a combination of confidentiality agreements with its employees, consultants, and third parties with whom it has relationships, as well as trademark, copyright, patent, trade secret, and domain name protection laws, to protect its proprietary rights.

 

New Role of the Company

 

The Company, in its role as the CWIB, seeks to create, incubate or accelerate businesses in the water industry, and potentially outside of it.

 

Having achieved a spinoff of its three major properties into a company that achieved a $32 million valuation at the time of the Business Combination of October 24, 2023, the Company now intends to achieve similar results with other companies, in which it may take an equity position in addition to charging management fees.

 

We believe that our main strength is in helping to capitalize such companies through retail corporate development activities; and to help them achieve commercial proof of concept and scale; and to assist with mergers and acquisitions.

 

The Company cautions that suitable candidates for this new role may not be identified and even if identified, may not become partners or achieve commercial successes. The Company's focus for the foreseeable future remains the financing, development and support of its WODI subsidiary.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Not all of the accounting policies require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. However, the following policies could be deemed to be critical within the SEC definition. 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue when services are performed, and at the time of shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.

  

Revenues and related costs on construction contracts are recognized as the performance obligations for work are satisfied over time in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, revenue and associated profit, will be recognized as the customer obtains control of the goods and services promised in the contract (i.e., performance obligations). All un-allocable indirect costs and corporate general and administrative costs are charged to the periods as incurred. However, in the event a loss on a contract is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss as it is determined. Revisions in cost and profit estimates during the course of the contract are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts for the revisions become known. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income, which are recognized in the period the revisions are determined.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used to review the Company’s goodwill, impairments and estimations of long-lived assets, revenue recognition on percentage of completion type contracts, allowances for uncollectible accounts, inventory valuation, valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value of financial instruments requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of December 31, 2023, the amounts reported for cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.

 

Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.

 

Revenue and Cost of Sales

 

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $6,573 and $6,573, respectively. There was no cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. 

 

Selling and Marketing Expenses

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had selling and marketing expenses of $526,640, compared to $796,619 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses was primarily due to a decrease in marketing expenses. 

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had general and administrative expenses of $893,300 compared to $905,916 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in outside services. 

  

Other Income and (Expenses)

 

Other income and (expenses) increased by $17,639,232 to $(12,239,373) for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $5,399,859 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was due primarily to an increase in loss on non-cash accounts associated with the change in fair value of the derivatives in the amount of $16,642,571 and gain on redemption of common stock of $1,114,765, offset by an increase in unrealized gain on investment securities of $31,646, impairment of receivable of $50,000 and decrease in interest expense of $36,458.  

 

Net Income/(Loss)

 

Our net loss increased by $15,404,749 to $(15,896,283) for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to net loss of $(491,534) for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The majority of the increase in net loss was due primarily to an increase in other expenses associated with the net change in fair value of derivative instruments estimated each period. These estimates are based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price, volatility, variable conversion prices based on market prices defined in the respective agreements and probabilities of certain outcomes based on managements’ estimates. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period, therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has not generated significant revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, raising additional capital and increasing sales. We obtained funds from investors during the three months ending March 31, 2024. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case of equity financing.

 

In connection with our prior sale of Series M Preferred Stock conducted under Regulation A under the Securities Act, we may be subject to claims for rescission. If this occurs, it may have a negative effect on our liquidity.

 

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had cash of $157,351 and $114,640 and a working capital deficit of $45,837,183 and $32,249,892 respectively. The increase in working capital deficit was due primarily to an increase in non-cash derivative liabilities, current liabilities held-for-sale and accrued expenses, with a decrease in convertible promissory notes.

 

During the period ended March 31, 2024, we raised an aggregate of $252,500 from the sale of preferred stock in private placements and $1,386,230 for WODI convertible secured promissory notes and warrants. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions and future revenue.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $725,756 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $1,906,841 for the prior period ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in value added to note purchase agreements, impairment of receivable and gain on redemption of common stock, with an increase in contracts receivable, contract assets, accrued expenses and contract liabilities.

 

Net cash flows used in investing activities was $561,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $1,662,420 for the prior period ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to a decrease in notes receivables during the period.

 

Net cash flows provided by financing activities was $1,458,596 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $3,210,161 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was due primarily to a decrease in proceeds for issuance of preferred stock and promissory notes. To date we have principally financed our operations through the sale of our common and preferred stock and the issuance of debt.

 

We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures during the next twelve months. Although our proceeds from the issuance of securities together with revenue from operations are currently sufficient to fund our operating expenses in the near future, we will need to raise additional funds in the future so that we can maintain and expand our operations. Therefore, our future operations are dependent on our ability to secure additional financing, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital may restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may have to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations.

 

37

 

 

We have estimated our current average burn, and believe that we have assets to ensure that we can function without liquidation for a limited time, due to our cash on hand, growing revenue, and our ability to raise money from our investor base. Based on the aforesaid, we believe we have the ability to continue our operations for the immediate future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of operations. However, there cannot be any assurance that any of the aforementioned assumptions will come to fruition and as such we may only be able to function for a short time.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

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

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15f of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on Internal Controls

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of OriginClear, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

OriginClear was founded as OriginOil® in 2007 and began trading on the OTC in 2008. In 2015, it was renamed as OriginClear® to reflect its new mission to develop breakthrough businesses in the industrial water sector. Today, OriginClear structures itself as the Clean Water Innovation Hub™ and intends to use its well-developed retail investor development capabilities to help bring potentially disruptive companies to market. For the foreseeable future, however, OriginClear intends to devote its entire capabilities to the success of its subsidiary, Water On Demand, Inc. (WODI).

 

In 2023, OriginClear combined three of its operating divisions into WODI in anticipation of a merger of such subsidiary with Fortune Rise Acquisition Corp (“FRLA”) a Special Purpose Acquisition Company. The definitive merger agreement between WODI and FRLA was announced on October 24, 2023: https://www.originclear.com/company-news/originclears-water-on-demand-and-fortune-rise-acquisition-corporation-announce-business-combination-to-create-nasdaq-listed-company.

 

WODI is now composed of three operating units, Modular Water Systems (“MWS”), Progressive Water Treatment (“PWT”), and Water on Demand (“WOD”), the last being a development stage business.

 

PWT is responsible for a significant percentage of the Company’s revenue, specializing in engineered water treatment solutions and custom treatment systems.

 

MWS houses a worldwide, exclusive master license to the intellectual property of Daniel M. Early, consisting of five patents and related intellectual property, know-how and trade secrets (“Early IP”). In April 2023, OriginClear commissioned a valuation of the Early IP. MWS, features products differentiated by the Early IP and complemented with additional knowhow and trade secrets.

 

WOD is an incubation of the Company which intends to offer private businesses water self-sustainability as a service - the ability to pay for water treatment and purification services on a per-gallon basis. This is commonly known as Design-Build-Own-Operate (“DBOO”).

   

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. These factors, among others raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, achieving a level of profitable operations and receiving additional cash infusions. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company obtained funds from the issuance of convertible note agreements and from sale of its preferred stock. Management believes this funding will continue from its’ current investors and from new investors. The Company generated revenue of $6,573 and its operating divisions have standing purchase orders and open invoices with customers, which will provide funds for operations. Management believes the existing shareholders, the prospective new investors and future sales will provide the additional cash needed to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due and will allow the development of its core business operations. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case of equity financing.

Summary of Significant Accounting Polices [Abstract]  
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OriginClear, Inc. and its subsidiaries Water On Demand, Inc. (‘WODI’), (which consists of operating divisions Progressive Water Treatment, Modular Water Systems and Water On Demand), Water On Demand #1, Inc., and OriginClear Technologies, Ltd. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalent

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used to review the Company’s impairments and estimations of long-lived assets, revenue recognition on percentage of completion type contracts, allowances for uncollectible accounts, warranty reserves, inventory valuation, derivative liabilities and other conversion features, fair value investments, valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Net Earnings (Loss) per Share Calculations

 

Basic loss per share calculation is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include securities or other contracts to issue common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company’s diluted earnings per share were not the same as the basic loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss.

 

   For the Three Months Ended
March 31,
 
   2024   2023 
Loss to common shareholders (Numerator) – continuing operations  $(13,659,322)  $3,789,931 
           
Loss to common shareholders (Numerator) – related to assets held-for sale   (2,236,961)   (4,188,741)
           
Basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding (Denominator)
   1,443,544,402    1,062,100,064 

 

 

The Company excludes issuable shares from warrants, convertible notes and preferred stock, if their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive and includes the issuable shares if their impact is dilutive.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue when services are performed, and at the time of shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.

 

Revenues and related costs on construction contracts are recognized as the performance obligations for work are satisfied over time in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, revenue and associated profit, will be recognized as the customer obtains control of the goods and services promised in the contract (i.e., performance obligations). All un-allocable indirect costs and corporate general and administrative costs are charged to the periods as incurred. However, in the event a loss on a contract is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss as it is determined.

 

Revisions in cost and profit estimates during the course of the contract are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts for the revisions become known. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income, which are recognized in the period the revisions are determined.

 

Contract receivables are recorded on contracts for amounts currently due based upon progress billings, as well as retention, which are collectible upon completion of the contracts. Accounts payable to material suppliers and subcontractors are recorded for amounts currently due based upon work completed or materials received, as are retention due subcontractors, which are payable upon completion of the contract. General and administrative expenses are charged to operations as incurred and are not allocated to contract costs.

 

Contract Receivable

 

The Company bills its customers in accordance with contractual agreements. The agreements generally require billing to be on a progressive basis as work is completed. Credit is extended based on evaluation of clients financial condition and collateral is not required. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may arise if any customer is unable to make required payments. Management performs a quantitative and qualitative review of the receivables past due from customers on a monthly basis. The Company records an allowance against uncollectible items for each customer after all reasonable means of collection have been exhausted, and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $368,917 and $379,335 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The net contract receivable balance was $751,130 and $1,509,504 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.  

 

Indefinite Lived Intangibles and Goodwill Assets

 

The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

 

The Company tests for indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with its policies, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill at March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and determined there was no impairment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill.

 

Prepaid Expenses

 

The Company records expenditures that have been paid in advance as prepaid expenses. The prepaid expenses are initially recorded as assets, because they have future economic benefits, and are expensed at the time the benefits are realized. The prepaid expenses balance was $11,936 and $0 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.    

  

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Gain or loss is recognized upon disposal of property and equipment, and the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while expenditures for addition and betterment are capitalized. Furniture and equipment are depreciated on the straight-line method and include the following categories:

 

Estimated Life     
Machinery and equipment   5-10 years 
Furniture, fixtures and computer equipment   5-7 years 
Vehicles   3-5 years 
Leasehold improvements   2-5 years 

 

   3/31/2024   12/31/23 
Machinery and Equipment  $383,569   $383,569 
Computer Equipment   66,493    66,493 
Furniture   29,810    29,810 
Leasehold Improvements   26,725    26,725 
Vehicles   64,276    64,276 
Demo Units   36,139    36,139 
    607,012    607,012 
Less accumulated depreciation   (467,539)   (460,277)
Net Property and Equipment  $139,473   $146,735 

 

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that the facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of any long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed following generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Depreciation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, was $6,582 and $6,690, respectively.

On March 1, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 630 shares of Series T Preferred Stock to an accredited investor (the “Purchaser’’) per terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”). Per the SPA, the Company agreed to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agreed to purchase from the Company, 630 shares of the Company’s Series T, and two-year cashless warrants to acquire 25,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $0.05 per share per terms of the SPA, which were exercisable at any time in whole or in part. The purchaser and the Company agreed that in lieu of the purchase price for the Series T, the Purchaser transferred to the Company real property, with an aggregate value agreed to be $630,000 based on an appraisal from an international independent company at that time. The real property consisted of residential real estate in Buenos Aires Argentina valued at $580,000, and eight undeveloped lots valued at $50,000 in Terralta private neighborhood development. The real property exchanged for 630 shares of Series T was recorded at $630,000 and reflected on the balance sheet as a long term asset for sale at that time.

   

The real property was listed for sale beginning in July 2021. However, based on indicators of impairment, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company adjusted the original value of the asset for sale from $630,000 to $514,000 and recorded an impairment of $116,000 in the consolidated financial statements.

 

During the period ended December 31, 2022, after evaluating several offers, the Company considered an offer for $400,000, which was $114,000 below the previously adjusted value and was indicative of the real estate market conditions in Buenos Aires Argentina. Based on that indicator of impairment, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company further adjusted the previous value of the asset for sale from $514,000 to $400,000 on the balance sheet and recorded an impairment of $114,000 in the consolidated financial statements. All Series T preferred stock was converted and the warrants associated with the Series T expired during the period ended December 31, 2022.

 

In January 2023, the Company accepted the offer and on April 8, 2023, a deed was executed for the sale of the property for $400,000. The agreed upon payment terms were; $235,000 initial payment and the remaining $165,000 to be paid over fifteen monthly installments of $11,000 each. The initial payment was received by SMS Argentina (“SMS”), an accounting and consulting firm that was appointed by the Company as the Power of Attorney for the property. From the proceeds, SMS remitted taxes due on the transaction to the Federal Administration of Public Income (“AFIP”), which administers taxation in Argentina. On June 21, 2023, the Company received a payment of $164,935, net of all taxes assessed by AFIP and other closing fees associated with the sale of the property totaling $65,493 and recorded a receivable of $169,572 for the remaining amount on the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023. Between July 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024, the Company received additional payments totaling $103,572. As of March 31, 2024, the balance of the receivable was $66,000 which is reflected on the consolidated financial statements.

    

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants vest immediately and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

 

Accounting for Derivatives

 

The Company evaluates all its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average series Binomial lattice option pricing models to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates.

 

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not the net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not to recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of March 31, 2024, the balances reported for cash, contract receivables, cost in excess of billing, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, billing in excess of cost, and accrued expenses approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.

 

We adopted ASC Topic 820 for financial instruments measured as fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

 

  Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
     
  Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
     
  Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

The following table presents certain investments and liabilities of the Company’s financial assets measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s balance sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2024.

 

   Total   (Level 1)   (Level 2)   (Level 3) 
Investment at fair value-securities, March 31, 2024  $66,492   $66,492   $
      -

Derivative Liability, March 31, 2024  $20,509,953   $
        -
   $
     -
   $20,509,953 

 

The derivative liabilities consist of $20,052,649 for convertible notes outstanding and $457,304 for warrants outstanding for an aggregate of $20,509,953.

 

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

  

Balance as of December 31, 2023  $7,742,759 
Net loss on conversion of debt and change in derivative liabilities   12,767,194 
Balance as of March 31, 2024  $20,509,953 

 

For purpose of determining the fair market value of the derivative liability, the Company used Binomial lattice formula valuation model. The significant assumptions used in the Binomial lattice formula valuation of the derivative are as follows: 

 

    3/31/2023 
Risk free interest rate   4.53% – 4.96% 
Stock volatility factor   141% – 219% 
Weighted average expected option life   6 mos - 5 yrs 
Expected dividend yield   None 

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company’s business currently operates in one segment based upon the Company’s organizational structure and the way in which the operations are managed and evaluated.

 

Marketable Securities

 

The Company adopted ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 requires investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. It requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purpose, and separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset. It eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The Company has evaluated the potential impact this standard may have on the condensed consolidated financial statements and determined that it had a significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company accounts for its investment in Water Technologies International, Inc. as available-for-sale securities, and the unrealized gain on the available-for-sale securities is recognized in net income.

 

Licensing agreement

 

The Company analyzed the licensing agreement using ASU 606 to determine the timing of revenue recognition. The licensing of the intellectual property (IP) is distinct from the non-license goods or services and has significant standalone functionality that provides a benefit or value. The functionality will not change during the license period due to the licensor’s activities. Because the significant standalone functionality is delivered immediately, the revenue is generally recognized when the license is delivered.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the current financial statements for comparative purpose. There was no material effect on the Company’s previously issued financial statements.

 

Work-in-Process

 

The Company recognizes as an asset the accumulated costs for work-in-process on projects expected to be delivered to customers. Work in Process includes the cost price of materials and labor related to the construction of equipment to be sold to customers.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management reviewed currently issued pronouncements and does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed financial statements.

WODI ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD-FOR-SALE – DISCONTINUING OPERATIONS
3. WODI ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD-FOR-SALE – DISCONTINUING OPERATIONS

 

On September 21, 2023, WODI entered into a merger agreement with PWT whereby WODI was merged with PWT. The merger of these entities was completed to create better enterprise value for a potential merger opportunity with FRLA. In connection with the merger with WODI, PWT changed its name to Water on Demand, Inc.

 

On September 28, 2023, the Letter of Intent (“LOI”) executed on January 5, 2023 with WODI was amended to designate PWT as the new target of the acquisition.  Under the amended LOI, FRLA proposed to acquire all the outstanding securities of the new combined WODI/PWT entity, based on certain material financial and business terms and conditions being met. The LOI is not binding on the parties and is intended solely to guide good-faith negotiations toward definitive agreements.

 

On October 24, 2023, FRLA and WODI entered into a definitive business combination agreement (the “BCA”). The transaction represents a pro forma equity valuation of approximately $72 million of the Combined Company, assuming no further redemptions of FRLA public shares by FRLA’s public shareholders.

 

On October 25, 2023, at the Special Meeting, FRLA shareholders approved a proposal to extend the period of time FRLA has to consummate its initial business combination by an additional one year from November 5, 2023 to November 5, 2024, by up to twelve one-month extensions, subject to certain conditions. 

 

On February 14, 2024, the Company and Fortune Rise Acquisition Corporation (Nasdaq: FRLA), filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC which includes a preliminary proxy statement and prospectus in connection with the proposed business combination with WODI.

 

In accordance with ASC 205-20, a disposal of a component or a group of components should be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when a component of or group of components meets the initial criteria for classification of held for sale to be classified as held for sale. Per the initial criteria for classification of held for sale, a component or a group of components, or a business or nonprofit activity (the entity to be sold), should be classified as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met:

 

Management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the entity to be sold.

 

The entity to be sold is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such entities to be sold.

 

An active program to locate a buyer or buyers and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the entity to be sold have been initiated.

 

The sale of the entity to be sold is probable (the future event or events are likely to occur), and transfer of the entity to be sold is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, within one year, unless events or circumstances beyond an entity’s control extend the period required to complete the sale as discussed below.

 

The entity to be sold is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value.

 

Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

 

Since the proposed business combination of WODI with FRLA, meets all the initial criteria for classification of held for sale, the assets, liabilities and operating results of WODI have been classified as held for sale in the period ending March 31, 2024 and financial statements of the prior year ending in December 31, 2023 have been adjusted to reflect comparable as follows:

Restricted Stock Grants to CEO, the Board, Employees and Consultants

 

Between May 12, 2016, and August 4, 2022, the Company entered into Restricted Stock Grant Agreements (“the RSGAs”) with its Chief Executive Officer, the Board, Employees and Consultants to create management incentives to improve the economic performance of the Company and to increase its value and stock price. All shares issuable under the RSGAs are performance based shares. The RSGAs provide for the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock provided certain milestones are met in certain stages; a) If the Company’s consolidated gross revenue, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, equals or exceeds $15,000,000 for the trailing twelve month period as reported in the Company’s quarterly or annual financial statements, and b) If the Company’s consolidated operating profit (Operating Profit = Operating Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold - Operating Expenses - Depreciation & Amortization), calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, equals or exceeds $1,500,000 for the trailing twelve month period as reported in the Company’s SEC Reports. The Company has not recognized any costs associated with the milestones, because achievement is not probable.

  

On August 14, 2019, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the RSGAs to include an alternative vesting schedule for the Grantees and on January 26, 2022, the Company amended the procedures for processing the RSGAs. If the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the shares are vested is less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the effective date of the RSGAs, then the number of vested shares issuable (assuming all conditions are satisfied per terms of the alternative vesting schedule) shall be increased so that the aggregate fair market value of vested shares issuable on the vesting date equals the aggregate fair market value that such number of shares would have had on the effective date. Upon the occurrence of a Company performance goal, the right to participate in the alternate vesting schedule will terminate, and the vesting of the remaining unvested shares will be as set forth under the RSGAs. Shares are issued under the alternate vesting schedule per terms of the agreements after electing and qualifying requirements are met.

    

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, upon qualifying under the alternative vesting schedule, the Company issued an aggregate of 20,937,829 shares relating to the RSGAs and recognized an aggregate expense of $169,596 which is reflected on the financial statements as stock-based compensation.

As of March 31, 2024, the balance of the Jan 21 Note was $60,000, which is long term. 

 

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

 

The derivative liability recognized in the financial statements for the convertible promissory notes as of March 31, 2024 was $20,052,649.

 

Water On Demand, Inc.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, WODI raised capital in the amount of $960,000 and issued convertible secured promissory notes to investors with 10% interest per annum. Also during the period ended March 31, 2024, per settlement, conversion and redemption agreements with WODI shareholders, an aggregate of 83,352,197 shares of the Parent Company’s common stock were redeemed at the closing share prices on the dates of the convertible secured promissory note agreements, and this fair value of redeemed common stock was added to the cash value of the shareholders’ investments to purchase WODI convertible secured promissory notes. The loss relating to these settlement and conversion agreements of $692,000 was accounted for in the consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2024, WODI had outstanding convertible secured promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $18,381,089.

Equipment Contracts

 

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

 

The following table represents a disaggregation of revenue by type of good or service from contracts with customers for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

The above table reflects aggregate revenue of $6,573 and $6,573 from continued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and aggregate revenue of $936,864 and $1,999,821 from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Revenue recognition for other sales arrangements, such as sales for components, and service sales will remain materially consistent.

 

Contract assets represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed on contracts in progress. Contract liabilities represents billings in excess of revenues recognized on contracts in progress. Assets and liabilities related to long-term contracts are included in current assets and current liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets, as they will be liquidated in the normal course of the contract completion. The contract asset for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, was $353,311 and $445,102, respectively. The contract liability for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, was $1,798,364 and $1,346,366, respectively.

Fair value investment in Securities

 

On May 15, 2018, the Company received 4,000 shares of WTII Series C convertible preferred stock for the use of OriginClear, Inc. technology associated with their proprietary electro water separation system. Each share of Series C convertible preferred stock is convertible into one thousand (1,000) shares of WTII common stock. The stock was valued at fair market value of $0.0075 for a price of $30,000 on the date of issuance. The Company analyzed the licensing agreement using ASU 606 to determine the timing of revenue recognition. The licensing of the intellectual property (IP) is distinct from the non-license goods or services and has significant standalone functionality that provides a benefit or value. The functionality will not change during the license period due to the licensor’s activities. Because the significant standalone functionality was delivered immediately, the revenue was recognized in the financial statements as of June 30, 2018. As of March 31, 2024, the fair value of the preferred shares was $3,200, and had a loss in fair value of $0.

 

On November 12, 2021, the Company served a conversion notice to WTII and was issued an aggregate of 45,208,649 shares of WTII common stock. As of March 31, 2024, the investment in securities was recorded at fair value in the amount of $63,292, with an unrealized gain of $27,125.

WATER ON DEMAND INC. (‘WODI’)
10. WATER ON DEMAND INC. (“WODI”)

 

Water On Demand, Inc. (“WODI”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 22, 2022. WODI, with the support of its parent, OriginClear, Inc (the “Company”), is developing a new outsourced water treatment business called “Water On Demand”: or “WOD”.  The WOD model intends to offer private businesses the ability to pay for water treatment and purification services on a per-gallon basis. This is commonly known as Design-Build-Own-Operate or “DBOO”. WODI intends to work with regional water service companies to build and operate the water treatment systems it finances.  

 

On November 16, 2022, WODI filed a Form 1-A Offering Circular for an offering under Regulation A (the “WODI Reg A Offering”) of the Securities Act of 1933 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The purpose of the WODI Reg A Offering is to allow potential investors the opportunity to invest directly in WODI. The Offering had a minimum investment of $1,000 per investor and was conducted on a best-efforts basis. An aggregate of 12,000 shares were sold for total proceeds of $60,000 under the WODI Reg A Offering. The WODI Reg A Offering was suspended in June 2023.

 

On December 22, 2022, WODI entered into a Membership Interest Purchase and Transfer Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Ka Wai Cheung, Koon Lin Chan, and Koon Keung Chan (each a “Seller”, and collectively, the “Sellers”) and Fortune Rise Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), pursuant to which WODI purchased 100 membership interests in the Sponsor (“Purchased Interests”) from the Sellers, which constitutes 100% of the membership interests in the Sponsor. The Sponsor owns 2,343,750 shares out of 2,443,750 shares of the issued and outstanding shares of Class B common stock (the “Class B Common Stock”) of Fortune Rise Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware Corporation (“FRLA” or the “SPAC”). On December 29, 2022, the Company announced that its subsidiary, Water On Demand, Inc. had closed its acquisition of Fortune Rise Sponsor, LLC, which is the sponsor of Fortune Rise Acquisition Corp.

 

On December 22, 2022, WODI paid a total of $1,137,267 to the Sellers of Fortune Rise Sponsor, LLC which included a total of $400,000 to purchase the membership interest in Class B Common Stock of FRLA and $737,267 for compensating the payment made by the Sellers on November 4, 2022, towards the first extension of the SPAC through February 5, 2023. In connection with the Extension Payment, FRLA issued unsecured promissory notes to the Sellers. As of December 31, 2022, the $737,267 amount was reflected as Notes Payable to related party on the consolidated balance sheet of the SPAC. To acquire the equity interests in FRLA for the purchase price of $400,000, WODI issued convertible secured promissory notes to investors at 10% interest per annum. Per the terms and conditions of the convertible promissory note, all unpaid principal, together with any unpaid and accrued interest shall be due and payable on the earlier of the twelve (12) month of the date of the Note (the “Maturity Date”) (provided, WODI shall have the option to extend the Maturity Date for up to two (2) six-month extensions), or (ii) when, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

   

FRLA is a blank check company incorporated in February 2021 as a Delaware corporation formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. FRLA is a “shell company” as defined under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, because it has no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash. The SPAC will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial business combination, at the earliest.

    

On January 5, 2023, WODI signed a non-binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) with Fortune Rise Acquisition Corporation, (“FRLA” collectively with WODI, the “Parties”). The LOI is not binding on the Parties and is intended solely to guide good-faith negotiations toward a definitive business combination agreement. The Parties will work together in good faith with their respective advisors to agree on a structure for the business combination that is most expedient to the consummation of the acquisition, which may result in a new (merged) entity. Pursuant to the LOI, if a business combination were to be consummated and approved, all of the outstanding equity securities of WODI, including all shares of common stock, preferred stock, outstanding options and warrants will convert into new equity of the merged entity.

 

On February 7, 2023, FRLA and OriginClear Inc. announced that WODI deposited $977,500 (the “Second Extension Payment”) into FRLA’s trust account for its public shareholders, representing $0.10 per public share, which enables FRLA to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by an additional three months from February 5, 2023 to May 5, 2023 (the “Second Extension”).

 

WODI assumed the obligation to make any necessary extension payments in connection with the extension of the period of time in which the SPAC may consummate its initial business combination as described in the SPAC’s S-1 Registration Statement, including the three-month extension from November 5, 2022 to February 5, 2023, the Second Extension for an additional three months from February 5, 2023 to May 5, 2023 and a final extension for an additional six months from May 5, 2023 to November 5, 2023.

 

On April 10, 2023, at the Special Meeting, a total of 10,514,410 (or 81.61%) of FRLA’s issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock held of record as of March 3, 2023, were present either in person or by proxy, which constituted a quorum. In that FRLA shareholders agreed to an extension of the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by an additional six months from May 5, 2023 to November 5, 2023. FRLA’s stockholders voted on to approve and adopt the extension amendment which received sufficient votes (more than 65%) for approval.

 

On April 14, 2023, WODI entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with the Company, whereby it agreed to purchase all of the assets related to the Company’s “Modular Water Service” business, including licenses, technology, intellectual property, contracts, business models, patents and other assets in exchange for 6,000,000 shares of WODI common stock. The assets included MWS accounts receivables and accounts payables as of April 14, 2023 and an assignment of the Company’s existing global master license to the patents of inventor Daniel M. Early, P.E., who heads MWS, and the right to file patents for all additional inventions since 2018, when OriginClear created the MWS unit. Beginning on the Effective Date, all MWS transactions including revenue, accounts payable and accounts receivable were transferred from the Company’s Progressive Water Treatment, Inc. (“PWT”) subsidiary over to the Company’s WODI subsidiary.

  

On September 21, 2023, WODI entered into a merger agreement with PWT to create better enterprise value for a potential merger opportunity with FRLA and a plan of merger agreement (the “PWT-WODI merger agreement”) was entered into between WODI and PWT. Per the PWT-WODI merger agreement, all shares of WODI common and preferred stock were exchanged for shares of PWT common stock as merger consideration. WODI convertible notes and WODI Restricted Stock Grants were assumed by PWT and remain outstanding. WODI Series A and Series B were converted to WODI common stock prior to the merger.

 

In connection with the merger with WODI, PWT changed its name to Water on Demand, Inc.

 

Before issuing common stock to WODI stockholders in the PWT Merger, PWT had 10,000,000 common shares issued and outstanding, which were fully owned by OCLN. Post PWT-WODI merger, OCLN received an aggregate of 2,171,068 shares of the Water On Demand, Inc.

 

On September 28, 2023, the Letter of Intent (“LOI”) executed on January 5, 2023 with WODI was amended to designate PWT as the new target of the acquisition. Under the amended LOI, FRLA proposed to acquire all the outstanding securities of the new combined WODI/PWT entity, based on certain material financial and business terms and conditions being met. The LOI is not binding on the parties and is intended solely to guide good-faith negotiations toward definitive agreements.

 

On October 24, 2023 FRLA and WODI entered into a definitive business combination agreement (the “BCA”).

 

On October 25, 2023, at the Special Meeting, a total of 5,687,847 (or 84.59%) of FRLA’s issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock held of record, were present either in person or by proxy, which constituted a quorum. FRLA shareholders approved a proposal to extend the period of time FRLA has to consummate its initial business combination by an additional one year from November 5, 2023 to November 5, 2024, by up to twelve one-month extensions, subject to certain conditions.

 

Promissory Notes

 

Since buying the sponsorship interest in the SPAC on December 22, 2022 through March 31, 2024, WODI and the Company made payments on behalf of the SPAC in the aggregate amount of $4,619,985. As of March 31, 2024, WODI and the Company received an aggregate of $4,619,985 in unsecured promissory notes (the “SPAC Notes”) from the SPAC in exchange for the payments made on behalf of the SPAC to meet its operating expenses and the extension payments. The SPAC Notes are non-interest bearing and payable (subject to the waiver against SPAC trust provisions) on the earlier of (i) consummation of the SPAC initial business combination; or (ii) the date of the liquidation of the SPAC. The principal balance of each SPAC Note may be prepaid at any time, at the election of the SPAC.

 

As of the date of this filing, the SPAC has been extended through November 5, 2024, to give the Company adequate time to complete all the necessary administrative and regulatory steps, including filing of the registration statement and timely respond to satisfy potential comments, from regulatory bodies to consummate the business combination. Management estimates the likelihood of completing the business combination at 75%.

 

Impairment of receivable

 

Although the payments made on behalf of the SPAC are amounts receivable to WODI, for the period ended March 31, 2024, WODI considered the aggregate amount of $590,000 for the SPAC Notes to be impaired and recorded it as an expense on the consolidated income statements, as it is deemed probable that the SPAC may not have funds to pay back with interest all of the Class A shareholders and WODI for the amounts advanced to the SPAC. In the event of WODI successfully merging with the SPAC, all amounts paid by WODI on behalf of the SPAC, including any future payments made until such merger is fully consummated will be received back by WODI.

 

Recording of membership interest:

 

As of March 31, 2024, WODI recorded the purchase of Class B Founder Shares at lower of cost or market at $400,000 on the consolidated balance sheet as other asset held-for-sale.

 

Impairment analysis for Class B Common Founder Shares as at March 31, 2024

 

The Company retained an independent valuation firm for the purpose of conducting a valuation of the fair value of Sponsor Founder Shares (Class B) of Fortune Rise Acquisition Corp. as of December 31, 2023.

 

The independent firm (i) evaluated and analyzed various Sponsor Founder Shares of Fortune Rise Acquisition Corp. (“FRLA”); (ii) assessed the terms including various redemption and liquidation features considering each of the Company’s financial plans and market conditions; and (iii) determined the underlying value to be assigned to the FRLA Sponsor Founder Shares as of the Date of Valuation and evaluated the FRLA Sponsor Founder Shares for impairment by performing the following procedures:

 

Analyzed the Company’s S-4 filing, business combination agreement and other documentation.

 

  Developed Monte Carlo Model that values the FRLA Sponsor Founder Shares based on a multipath random event model and future projections of the various potential outcomes. The Monte Carlo Model simulation included 50,000 iterations and simulated the stock price, the timing of the business combination, and the timing of the lapse of the transfer restrictions.
     
  Developed the discounted cash flow from the sale of the securities at the time the restrictions terminated.
     
  Probability weighted the cash flow, discounted for lack of marketability.

 

  Valued the FRLA Sponsor Founder Shares as of the date of valuation.

 

Based on the procedures performed the independent valuation firm concluded that the value of FRLA Sponsor Founder Shares was not impaired.

 

Restricted Stock to WODI Board, Employees and Consultants

 

Between August 12, 2022, and August 3, 2023, WODI entered into Restricted Stock Grant Agreements (the “WODI RSGAs”) with its members of the Board, employees, and consultants to create management incentives to improve the economic performance of WODI and to increase its value. WODI RSGAs provide for the issuance of up to 15,550,000 shares of WODI common stock provided certain milestones and vesting are met in certain stages. The restricted shares may become fully vested and no longer subject to risk of forfeiture (“Vested Shares”) if WODI shares are uplisted to a National Exchange, then upon such uplisting, 25% of the restricted shares that shall vest and become Vested Shares and 6.25% each three-month period thereafter, subject to the following: (i) If WODI shares are traded on a National Exchange, then the amount of restricted shares which shall become Vested Shares during any three-month period shall not exceed an amount representing the greater of (a) 1% of the shares of common stock outstanding as shown by the most recent SEC Report published by WODI and (b) the average weekly reported volume of trading in the common stock on a national securities exchange during the previous four calendar weeks. (ii) If WODI shares are subsequently delisted and quoted on the over-the-counter market, including the OTCQB, then the amount of restricted shares which shall become Vested Shares during any three month period shall not exceed an amount representing 1% of the shares of common stock outstanding as shown by the most recent SEC Report published by WODI, or if WODI shares are traded on a national securities exchange, the greater of (b)(i) and the average weekly reported volume of trading in the common stock on a national securities exchange during the previous four calendar weeks. If WODI shares do not achieve listing on a national securities exchange within three years of the Effective Date, then the restricted shares shall vest and become Vested Shares at a rate equal to 25% on the three-year anniversary of the Effective Date and 6.25% each three-month period thereafter. WODI has not recognized any costs associated the WODI RSGAs because milestones and vesting have not been achieved. As the milestones are achieved, the shares shall become eligible for vesting and issuance. On September 21, 2023, per the Merger Plan Agreement and per the conversion ratio of 0.19737 established in the Merger Plan Agreement, the 15,550,000 total issuable shares under the WODI RSGAs were converted to 3,069,100 total issuable shares. On October 23, 2023, certain WODI RSGAs were canceled and new WODI RSGAs were issued. As of March 31, 2024, there were 2,581,344 total issuable shares under the WODI RSGAs. As the milestones are achieved, the shares shall become eligible for vesting and issuance. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, no issuable shares under the WODI RSGAs vested and no costs associated with the milestones were recognized because achievement is not probable.

On March 1, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 630 shares of Series T Preferred Stock to an accredited investor (the “Purchaser’’) per terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”). Per the SPA, the Company agreed to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agreed to purchase from the Company, 630 shares of the Company’s Series T, and two-year cashless warrants to acquire 25,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $0.05 per share per terms of the SPA, which were exercisable at any time in whole or in part. The purchaser and the Company agreed that in lieu of the purchase price for the Series T, the Purchaser transferred to the Company real property, with an aggregate value agreed to be $630,000 based on an appraisal from an international independent company at that time. The real property consisted of real estate in Buenos Aires Argentina. The real property exchanged for 630 shares of Series T was recorded at $630,000 at that time. Based on indicator of impairment, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company adjusted the original value of the asset for sale from $630,000 to $514,000 and recorded an impairment of $116,000 in the consolidated financial statements.

 

During the period ended December 31, 2022, after evaluating several offers, the Company considered an offer for $400,000, which was $114,000 below the previously adjusted value and was indicative of the real estate market conditions in Buenos Aires Argentina. Based on that indicator of impairment, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company further adjusted the previous value of the asset for sale from $514,000 to $400,000 on the balance sheet and recorded an impairment of $114,000 in the consolidated financial statements. All Series T preferred stock was converted and the warrants associated with the Series T expired during the period ended December 31, 2022.

 

In January 2023, the Company accepted the offer and on April 8, 2023, a deed was executed for the sale of the property for $400,000. The agreed upon payment terms were; $235,000 initial payment and the remaining $165,000 to be paid over fifteen monthly installments of $11,000 each. The initial payment was received by SMS Argentina (“SMS”), an accounting and consulting firm that was appointed by the Company as the Power of Attorney for the property. From the proceeds, SMS remitted taxes due on the transaction to the Federal Administration of Public Income (“AFIP”), which administers taxation in Argentina. On June 21, 2023, the Company received a payment of $164,935, net of all taxes assessed by AFIP and other closing fees associated with the sale of the property totaling $65,493 and recorded a receivable of $169,572 for the remaining balance. Between July 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024, the Company received additional payments totaling $103,572. As of March 31, 2024, the balance of the receivable was $66,000 which is reflected on the consolidated financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OriginClear, Inc. and its subsidiaries Water On Demand, Inc. (‘WODI’), (which consists of operating divisions Progressive Water Treatment, Modular Water Systems and Water On Demand), Water On Demand #1, Inc., and OriginClear Technologies, Ltd. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities.

Cash and Cash Equivalent

Cash and Cash Equivalent

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used to review the Company’s impairments and estimations of long-lived assets, revenue recognition on percentage of completion type contracts, allowances for uncollectible accounts, warranty reserves, inventory valuation, derivative liabilities and other conversion features, fair value investments, valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Net Earnings (Loss) per Share Calculations

Net Earnings (Loss) per Share Calculations

Basic loss per share calculation is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include securities or other contracts to issue common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company’s diluted earnings per share were not the same as the basic loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss.

 

   For the Three Months Ended
March 31,
 
   2024   2023 
Loss to common shareholders (Numerator) – continuing operations  $(13,659,322)  $3,789,931 
           
Loss to common shareholders (Numerator) – related to assets held-for sale   (2,236,961)   (4,188,741)
           
Basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding (Denominator)
   1,443,544,402    1,062,100,064 

The Company excludes issuable shares from warrants, convertible notes and preferred stock, if their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive and includes the issuable shares if their impact is dilutive.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when services are performed, and at the time of shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.

Revenues and related costs on construction contracts are recognized as the performance obligations for work are satisfied over time in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, revenue and associated profit, will be recognized as the customer obtains control of the goods and services promised in the contract (i.e., performance obligations). All un-allocable indirect costs and corporate general and administrative costs are charged to the periods as incurred. However, in the event a loss on a contract is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss as it is determined.

Revisions in cost and profit estimates during the course of the contract are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts for the revisions become known. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income, which are recognized in the period the revisions are determined.

Contract receivables are recorded on contracts for amounts currently due based upon progress billings, as well as retention, which are collectible upon completion of the contracts. Accounts payable to material suppliers and subcontractors are recorded for amounts currently due based upon work completed or materials received, as are retention due subcontractors, which are payable upon completion of the contract. General and administrative expenses are charged to operations as incurred and are not allocated to contract costs.

Contract Receivable - WODI

Contract Receivable

The Company bills its customers in accordance with contractual agreements. The agreements generally require billing to be on a progressive basis as work is completed. Credit is extended based on evaluation of clients financial condition and collateral is not required. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may arise if any customer is unable to make required payments. Management performs a quantitative and qualitative review of the receivables past due from customers on a monthly basis. The Company records an allowance against uncollectible items for each customer after all reasonable means of collection have been exhausted, and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $368,917 and $379,335 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The net contract receivable balance was $751,130 and $1,509,504 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.  

 

Indefinite Lived Intangibles and Goodwill Assets

Indefinite Lived Intangibles and Goodwill Assets

The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

The Company tests for indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with its policies, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill at March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and determined there was no impairment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill.

Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid Expenses

The Company records expenditures that have been paid in advance as prepaid expenses. The prepaid expenses are initially recorded as assets, because they have future economic benefits, and are expensed at the time the benefits are realized. The prepaid expenses balance was $11,936 and $0 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.    

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Gain or loss is recognized upon disposal of property and equipment, and the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while expenditures for addition and betterment are capitalized. Furniture and equipment are depreciated on the straight-line method and include the following categories:

Estimated Life     
Machinery and equipment   5-10 years 
Furniture, fixtures and computer equipment   5-7 years 
Vehicles   3-5 years 
Leasehold improvements   2-5 years 
   3/31/2024   12/31/23 
Machinery and Equipment  $383,569   $383,569 
Computer Equipment   66,493    66,493 
Furniture   29,810    29,810 
Leasehold Improvements   26,725    26,725 
Vehicles   64,276    64,276 
Demo Units   36,139    36,139 
    607,012    607,012 
Less accumulated depreciation   (467,539)   (460,277)
Net Property and Equipment  $139,473   $146,735 

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that the facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of any long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed following generally accepted accounting principles.

Depreciation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, was $6,582 and $6,690, respectively.

 

Other Assets

Other Assets

Long Term Asset Held for Sale

On March 1, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 630 shares of Series T Preferred Stock to an accredited investor (the “Purchaser’’) per terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”). Per the SPA, the Company agreed to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agreed to purchase from the Company, 630 shares of the Company’s Series T, and two-year cashless warrants to acquire 25,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $0.05 per share per terms of the SPA, which were exercisable at any time in whole or in part. The purchaser and the Company agreed that in lieu of the purchase price for the Series T, the Purchaser transferred to the Company real property, with an aggregate value agreed to be $630,000 based on an appraisal from an international independent company at that time. The real property consisted of residential real estate in Buenos Aires Argentina valued at $580,000, and eight undeveloped lots valued at $50,000 in Terralta private neighborhood development. The real property exchanged for 630 shares of Series T was recorded at $630,000 and reflected on the balance sheet as a long term asset for sale at that time.

The real property was listed for sale beginning in July 2021. However, based on indicators of impairment, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company adjusted the original value of the asset for sale from $630,000 to $514,000 and recorded an impairment of $116,000 in the consolidated financial statements.

During the period ended December 31, 2022, after evaluating several offers, the Company considered an offer for $400,000, which was $114,000 below the previously adjusted value and was indicative of the real estate market conditions in Buenos Aires Argentina. Based on that indicator of impairment, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company further adjusted the previous value of the asset for sale from $514,000 to $400,000 on the balance sheet and recorded an impairment of $114,000 in the consolidated financial statements. All Series T preferred stock was converted and the warrants associated with the Series T expired during the period ended December 31, 2022.

In January 2023, the Company accepted the offer and on April 8, 2023, a deed was executed for the sale of the property for $400,000. The agreed upon payment terms were; $235,000 initial payment and the remaining $165,000 to be paid over fifteen monthly installments of $11,000 each. The initial payment was received by SMS Argentina (“SMS”), an accounting and consulting firm that was appointed by the Company as the Power of Attorney for the property. From the proceeds, SMS remitted taxes due on the transaction to the Federal Administration of Public Income (“AFIP”), which administers taxation in Argentina. On June 21, 2023, the Company received a payment of $164,935, net of all taxes assessed by AFIP and other closing fees associated with the sale of the property totaling $65,493 and recorded a receivable of $169,572 for the remaining amount on the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023. Between July 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024, the Company received additional payments totaling $103,572. As of March 31, 2024, the balance of the receivable was $66,000 which is reflected on the consolidated financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants vest immediately and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

 

Accounting for Derivatives

Accounting for Derivatives

The Company evaluates all its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average series Binomial lattice option pricing models to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not the net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not to recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of March 31, 2024, the balances reported for cash, contract receivables, cost in excess of billing, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, billing in excess of cost, and accrued expenses approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.

We adopted ASC Topic 820 for financial instruments measured as fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

  Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
     
  Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
     
  Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

The following table presents certain investments and liabilities of the Company’s financial assets measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s balance sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2024.

   Total   (Level 1)   (Level 2)   (Level 3) 
Investment at fair value-securities, March 31, 2024  $66,492   $66,492   $

Derivative Liability, March 31, 2024  $20,509,953   $
        -
   $
     -
   $20,509,953 

The derivative liabilities consist of $20,052,649 for convertible notes outstanding and $457,304 for warrants outstanding for an aggregate of $20,509,953.

 

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

Balance as of December 31, 2023  $7,742,759 
Net loss on conversion of debt and change in derivative liabilities   12,767,194 
Balance as of March 31, 2024  $20,509,953 

For purpose of determining the fair market value of the derivative liability, the Company used Binomial lattice formula valuation model. The significant assumptions used in the Binomial lattice formula valuation of the derivative are as follows: 

    3/31/2023 
Risk free interest rate   4.53% – 4.96% 
Stock volatility factor   141% – 219% 
Weighted average expected option life   6 mos - 5 yrs 
Expected dividend yield   None 
Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

The Company’s business currently operates in one segment based upon the Company’s organizational structure and the way in which the operations are managed and evaluated.

Marketable Securities

Marketable Securities

The Company adopted ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 requires investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. It requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purpose, and separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset. It eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The Company has evaluated the potential impact this standard may have on the condensed consolidated financial statements and determined that it had a significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company accounts for its investment in Water Technologies International, Inc. as available-for-sale securities, and the unrealized gain on the available-for-sale securities is recognized in net income.

Licensing agreement

Licensing agreement

The Company analyzed the licensing agreement using ASU 606 to determine the timing of revenue recognition. The licensing of the intellectual property (IP) is distinct from the non-license goods or services and has significant standalone functionality that provides a benefit or value. The functionality will not change during the license period due to the licensor’s activities. Because the significant standalone functionality is delivered immediately, the revenue is generally recognized when the license is delivered.

Reclassification

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the current financial statements for comparative purpose. There was no material effect on the Company’s previously issued financial statements.

Work-in-Process

Work-in-Process

The Company recognizes as an asset the accumulated costs for work-in-process on projects expected to be delivered to customers. Work in Process includes the cost price of materials and labor related to the construction of equipment to be sold to customers.

The Company has the right to redeem the Series I at any time while the Series I are outstanding at a price equal to the stated value plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. The Company is required to redeem the Series I two years following the date that is the later of the (i) final closing of the tranche (as designated in the applicable subscription agreement) or (ii) the expiration date of the tranche that such shares to be redeemed were a part of. The Company was required to redeem such shares of Series I between May 2, 2021 and June 10, 2021, at a price equal to the stated value plus any accrued but unpaid dividends.
