PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.


Company History 

  

Energy and Water Development Corp. (the “Company” or “EAWD”) was originally incorporated as a Delaware corporation on August 23, 2000 under the name Wealthhound.com, Inc.  On December 12, 2007, it was converted into a Florida corporation under the name Eagle International Holdings Group Inc. and, on March 10, 2008, the company changed its name to Eurosport Active World Corporation. 


On March 17, 2008, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Acquisition (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with Inko Sport America, LLC (“ISA”), a privately-held Florida limited liability company. In connection with the closing of the Acquisition Agreement, the Company adopted ISA’s business plan and the Company’s current officers and directors were elected to their positions. This transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein ISA was considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. ISA was administratively dissolved in September 2010.


In September 2019, the Company changed its name to Energy and Water Development Corp. to better present the Company’s purpose and business sector.  The name change received approval by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) on October 22, 2019.


The Business

 

We are an engineering services company formed as an outsourcing green tech platform, seeking to exploit renewable technologies.


In view of the increased world-wide demand for water and energy, our business goals are focused on water generation, water purification, and green energy production (waste to energy). To accomplish this, we set out to establish an outsourcing green tech platform, seeking to provide engineering and technical consultation services to design the most sustainable technological solutions that can provide water and energy, as well as manage the waste in a closed cycle. We also intend to secure all required technical, maintenance, education, and training related to the identified technology solutions. To this end the Company has sought the potential collaboration with green tech research and development centers in Europe.

 

The green tech industry is constantly evolving due to ongoing and increasing water scarcity as well as increased energy need.  Therefore, we believe that by designing the most sustainable renewable solutions to these problems EAWD will become an essential component of a rapidly growing industry with many new markets. The green tech industry is complex because it still requires much promotion and information about its potential. Furthermore, regulations in each country are different and, in many cases, several segments are regulated by both central and local (state, provincial, municipal) governments. EAWD’s approach seeks to assist general business operations with the growth and development of their business, by ensuring the efficient, profitable and sustainable supply/generation of water and energy allowing our potential customers to focus on their business while adopting strategies of sustainability. Using the technology, products, and services licensed or purchased from other technological sources, we believe we will be able to deliver and install a product set that suits the green technology water and/or energy needs of our customers. By using the designed technological solutions and technologies identified and provided by EAWD potential partners, we believe that our potential clients can be free to focus on performance of their operations as well as with the water and energy consumption or generation regulations within their industry. Our clients may be businesses seeking to upgrade their business processes or governmental entities seeking to apply green technology solutions for the water and energy they supply their constituencies.

 

We continue to be a development stage company. The Company presently outsources most of its engineering and technical services as well as services relating to the promotion, selling, and distribution of the identified technological solutions. We presently have only two employees: Mr. Hofmeier, our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board, and a significant stockholder, and Ms. Velazquez, our Chief Operating Officer, Vice-Chairman, and a significant stockholder.

We seek to focus on four main aspects of the water and energy business: (1) generation, (2) supply, (3) commercialization, and (4) waste to energy. We seek to assist business owners and/or municipalities to build profitable and sustainable supply/generation of water and energy as required, and to sell them the required technology or technical service to enhance their productivity/operability. With its outsourced technical arm and its commission-based global network of vendors, the Company expects to create sustainable added value to each project it takes on while generating revenue from the engineering and technical consultancy services, project management, sale of the various identified technologies, royalties from the commercialization of energy and water in certain cases, and revenues from the licensed innovated technologies.

 

Our core technological solutions are center around:


 

·

Self Sufficient Powered Atmosphere Water Generator system - powered by a renewable energy solution, the AWG produces pure potable water from the airs humidity; drinkable in accordance with World Health Organization (WHO) standards. We believe that its innovative design allows its implementation in a challenging geographical location, producing sufficient quantities even in very dry and hot conditions.

 

 

 

 

·

Waste to Energy Process Design - a Plasma Gasification based process, self-powered by electricity generated by syngas. The process is based on the dissociation (breaking apart) of the molecular bonds of solid, liquid, and gaseous compounds or materials of both hazardous and nonhazardous wastes (feedstock) organic and inorganic. Depending on the type of an operation’s daily input, significant amounts of energy, water, and valuable hydrogen gas for sustainable power generation can be generated.

 

 

 

 

·

Solar Power Water Purification process - a high-volume water purification solution utilizing solar, photovoltaic energy and, when applicable, a mini-windmill or an alternate source of renewable energy. From the sea, lake, river or stagnant, water is passed through several stages of purification and treatment until it is rendered drinkable in accordance with WHO standards.


We intend to provide customized technology solutions and technical services, based upon client need and preference, which may include any or all of the following:

 

 

·

water/energy generation;

 

·

waste to energy plants;

 

·

technical assistance;

 

·

strategic and financial partnering;

 

·

project management.

 

The Company also focuses on addressing areas of business, which concentrate on new technological and engineering concepts relating to water and energy generation as well as waste to energy development and those related components that assist in advancing the green tech industry. These include:

 

 

·

advancement of self-sufficient powered atmosphere water generators;

 

·

development of techniques to attain self-sufficient supply of energy;

 

·

advancement of new ideas on waste to energy implementation;

 

·

distribution of small, hi-energy cost effective generators;

 

·

designing, prototyping, and arranging the manufacture of new syngas engines and motors.

Our Vision

 

The mission of EAWD is to provide sustainable water production design and already commercialized systems as well as energy design and systems based on high efficiency and renewable sources, and also smart grid and storage solutions. Through a combination of the best design and configuration of AquaTech, EnergyTech and waste management assisted solutions and technologies, we believe that it is possible to create a completely self-sufficient energy generation and water production system, which can be used at the same time to meet the potable water requirements as well as the electrical energy needs of businesses, communities and entire states or municipalities, like California in the United States or Cape Town in South Africa.


EAWD seeks to promote its green technology solutions via commission-based distributers and agents worldwide. EAWD anticipates using green tech technologies made in Germany, Switzerland, and the United States such as: atmosphere water generators (AWGs), CO2-free energy production (steam energy generators), plasma-assisted gasification and sterilizations systems, solar-powered water purification systems, as well as those in solar and wind energy solutions which we may, when our financial condition permits, further develop ourselves.

 

Today we have potential technology partners, technology transfer agreements, and technology representation agreements in place relating to aspects of renewable energy and water supply and we believe one of our key unique selling features and capabilities are these relationships. We also believe that one of our key unique selling features and capabilities is the combination of the different disciplines of water, energy, and waste management.


The Company plans to generate revenue through the sale of engineering and technical consultancy services, sales of various identified technologies, and royalties from the sales of energy and/or water in certain projects.

The technological solutions offered by our Company are the following:


[EAWD_10K002.GIF]


Self Sufficient Powered Atmosphere Water Generators (eAWGs) & Aqua Mission Systems


Today, atmosphere water generators (AWGs) are standard equipment in many places; however, operating AWGs requires high amounts of energy that is often not available in the places where they are needed most, making the price for the generated water very high.  Our innovative e-AWGs is designed to have an internal power supply and ability to provide power.  Our e-AWG system produces sufficient quantities of potable water even in very dry and hot climate conditions and can be scaled to almost any size, community, and/or population. Presently, AWGs are largely used in Asian and African countries. The majority of manufacturers of AWGs, which rely on dehumidifying, are located in China. Almost every U.S. based AWG brand is also supplied by manufacturers in China.

 

By contrast, EAWD uses an 80-year old proven German technology for condensate water from the air based on A/C technology.  We believe that this method allows higher, more efficient, sustainable performance and a larger quantity of water generation than the Chinese-made equipment because of its internal power supply and because it does not require high humidity to function. Based on  its AWG tech from AQUA SOCIETY GmbH, Germany (registered under German patent number 2009/140944), EAWD has the rights to use this German technology for ninety-nine years. Our e-AWGs line is different in size from the standard AWG water generator line. Our e-AWGs is energy self-sufficient and can condense large amounts of water out of the atmosphere and we believe it could be a solution in countries around the world that deal with issues of water scarcity. EAWD plans to introduce the e-AWGs to the UN in the last fiscal quarter of 2020, with the hopes of initially supplying it to large refugee camps around the world in need of fresh water.

 

Our e-AWG with an internal power supply works by first inhaling large volumes of air, then cooling the air down to the dew point, and finally collecting, filtering, and mineralizing the resulting condensed water. Through this process, pure drinking water is created that meets the quality standards of the WHO.  In regions with high temperatures and high humidity levels, a single machine can generate up to 50,000 liters or 15,000 gallons of water per day. The OCTAGON line starts at 150,000 gallons and can expand the water supply to ONE acre-feet/day, which we believe, in effect, is essentially the ability to produce an unlimited supply of water.

 

Solar Power Water Purification Systems

 

EAWD also seeks to respond to the growing need for drinking water by proposing a water purification solution utilizing solar, photovoltaic energy and, when applicable, a mini-windmill or other alternate source of renewable energy. The design of the system is ready to be built and delivered on demand.

Generally, drinking water can is produced by passing sea water, lake water, river water, or stagnant water through several stages of purification and treatment until it is rendered drinkable in accordance with WHO standards. In the case of sea or stagnant water, we recommend a treatment via reverse osmosis membranes, which permits the retention of dissolved solids and results in obtaining water of drinking quality. If the water being treated emanates from lakes or rivers, we recommend treatment via an ultrafiltration membrane which functions by retaining suspended materials such as colloids, viruses and bacteria. The systems proposed by EAWD are containerized and contain all the equipment necessary to function autonomously, in part due to an automatic cleansing system that can be accessed remotely via satellite or the internet. Moreover, the machines use available renewable energy sources such as solar or wind.  


Plasma Converter System (PCS)

 

We believe that one of the primary strengths and capabilities of the Company is the synergistic combination of the complementary disciplines of water, energy, and waste management. EAWD seeks to offer a closed-loop elemental recycling system that we believe will safely destroy waste and produce commodity products, including water, energy, syngas, fertilizers, CO2 certificates (CO2 certificates represent the amount of emissions that are compensated for), and the real and closed cycle of waste management. We believe that the EAWD waste to energy system can achieve this without producing harmful, noxious or dangerous by-products, effluents or emissions. The materials fed into the process are actual feed stocks, such as household waste and solid sewage waste.

 

The PCS is a gas converter that ionizes gas, which becomes an effective electrical conductor and produces a lightning-like arc of electricity that is the source of intense energy transferred to the waste material as radiant energy. The arc in the plasma plume within the vessel can be as high as 30,000°F or 16,650°C.

 

The PCS is an electrochemical system powered by electricity that causes the dissociation (breaking apart) of the molecular bonds of solid, liquid and gaseous compounds or materials of both hazardous and nonhazardous wastes (feedstock) both organic and inorganic. Within the PCS, the molecules of the waste material are separated into their elemental components (atoms), and then reformed into recoverable nonhazardous commodity products—water, electricity, syngas, fertilizers, CO2 certificates, and closed cycle of waste management—ready for commercial use.

 

The PCS does not involve a burning operation within an incinerator. The PCS ignites ionized gas from electric spark like in a neon light bulb. Patented for the first time in 1804 in Germany, the gasification system was widely used in Europe until the mid-1940s. The syngas produced out of the organic/carbon base material can be used to power an internal combustion engine or a turbine to run an electrical generator. Today, over 400 gasification plants to process wastes are in use, mostly in Europe. The gas is used to produce electricity or clean fuel.

 

The PCS is computer controlled and easy to use. We believe that it operates safely and at normal atmospheric pressure by quietly generating sustainable power. We believe that significant valuable resources can be created from the use of the PCS. For example, 1,000 tons-per-day of urban and industrial waste of all kinds that is processed by a typical large municipality can be converted safely and emission-free into syngas. The operation’s daily output of syngas can be used to produce millions of cubic feet of valuable hydrogen gas. In a typical 1,000 tons-per-day operation, we believe that the PCS, with a 7.8-ton capacity, could theoretically pay for itself in well under two years. Landfill usage “tipping fees” run from an average $35 to over $100 per ton in high population areas. Tipping fees are charges levied upon a given quantity of waste received at a waste processing facility. In the case of a landfill it is generally levied to offset the cost of opening, maintaining and eventually closing the site. It may also include any landfill tax which is applicable in the region. These costs, along with hauling fees, could be reduced by up to $75 per-ton/per-day by plasma-converting the waste and selling the electric, water, gas, and solid by-products, identified above instead of paying the applicable tipping fees.

 

Plasma Assisted Sterilization Process

 

The Plasma Arc Flow™ is a patented technology that converts most liquid waste into a clean fuel called syngas. It works by moving the target liquid waste through a submerged electric arc between two electrodes. The arc decomposes the liquid molecules into atoms and forms a plasma around the tips of the electrodes. At about 10,000°F / 5,500°C the plasma arc flow moves the plasma away from the electrodes and controls the formation of syngas that rises to the surface for collection. This technology is intended solely to sterilize target liquid wastes such as sewage, agricultural wastes or any effluent where eliminating bacteriological activity is beneficial to convert the waste liquid into a fertilizer and/or irrigation water. These outputs from processing toxic liquid are completely sterilized. The process results in production of syngas which can be used to produce electricity either through direct combustion of the syngas or through use of the syngas as a fuel for steam generation technology; the residue in either case is a fertilizer.

Worldwide Business Relationships

 

EAWD has commission-based agents and distributors strategically placed around the world. The Company has sales agents in Germany, Mexico, and the United States. The Company also has dealers located in United States, India, Pakistan, Canada, Australia, Colombia, Nepal, and Kenya. In total, we work with 34 commission-based agents and distributors to promote and sell EAWD’s technology solutions.


We believe that this worldwide presence through our agents and distributors will provide us access to the most important markets in need of energy, fresh water and waste to energy solutions.

 

Competition

 

The atmospheric water generator and water purification and bottled water industries are highly competitive. Competition is intense and is expected to increase. This market is characterized by technological innovation and change. We plan to compete by providing products and services that are valued by our customers such as sales relationships, product innovations, and responses to changing market/business needs.


Our main competitors at this time are Ambient Water Corp., Quest Water Global, Inc. and Westinghouse Plasma Corporation. This market segment includes numerous manufacturers, distributors, marketers, and retailers that actively compete for the business of consumers both in the United States and abroad. In addition, the market is highly sensitive to the introduction of new products and technologies that may rapidly capture a significant share of the market. As a result, our ability to remain competitive depends in part upon successful introduction and consumer acceptance of new products. We expect that the competition will intensify in the future, since our competitors can and may duplicate similar products or services to those offered by us.

 

Government Regulation

 

The manufacturing, processing, testing, packaging, labeling and advertising of the technologies that we sell may be subject to regulation by one or more U.S. federal agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Environmental Protection Agency, and by the standards provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the World Health Organization for drinking water. Our operations may also be regulated by various agencies of states, localities, and foreign countries in which consumers reside. Currently, the technologies we intend to use in our solutions and our services are not subject to any governmental regulation although it is possible that the FDA may choose to regulate the quality of water produced from atmospheric water generating machines in the near future.

 

Since the Company may be subject to a wide range of regulation covering every aspect of our business as mentioned above, we cannot predict the nature of any future U.S. laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative orders, when and if promulgated, would have on the business in the future. Although the regulation of water is less restrictive than that of drugs and food additives, we cannot offer assurance that the current statutory scheme and regulations applicable to water will remain less restrictive. Further, we cannot assure you that, under existing laws and regulations, or if more stringent statutes are enacted, regulations are promulgated, or enforcement policies are adopted, we are or will be in compliance with these new statutes, regulations or enforcement policies without incurring material expenses or adjusting our business strategy. Any laws, regulations, enforcement policies, interpretations or applications applicable to our business could require the reformulation of products, all of which are supplied by third parties, to meet new standards or the recall or discontinuance of certain products not capable of reformulation, additional record keeping, expanded documentation of the properties of certain products, expanded or different labeling or scientific substantiation.

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2019, we had two full-time employees. Over time, we will be required to hire employees or continue to engage independent contractors in order to execute the projects necessary to grow and develop the business. These decisions will be made by our officers and directors, if and when appropriate. We work with approximately 34 commission-based agents and brokers around the world to promote the Company and sell our technological solutions and services. These agents and brokers are independent contractors with whom we have contractual relationships and are compensated solely based on commission.

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We elected to take advantage of all of these exemptions.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards, and delay compliance with new or revised accounting standards until those standards are applicable to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

 

We will be an emerging growth company until the last day of the first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our first common equity offering, although we will lose that status earlier if our annual revenues exceed $1.0 billion, if we issue more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt in any three-year period or if we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

 

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink Market maintained by OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the symbol “EAWD”. Only a limited market exists for our securities. There is no assurance that a regular trading market will develop, or if developed, that it will be sustained. Therefore, a shareholder may be unable to resell the securities of our Company.


On March 24, 2020, the closing price of our common stock was $0.10 per share as reported on the OTC Pink Marketplace.


The following table sets forth for the respective periods indicated the prices of our common stock in this market as reported and summarized by the OTC Markets. Such prices are based on inter-dealer bid and asked prices, without markup, markdown, commissions, or adjustments and may not represent actual transactions.

Penny Stock

 

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

 

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

 

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, shareholders may have difficulty selling our securities.

Holders

 

As of December 31, 2019, we had 701 record holders of our common stock, holding 93,462,483 shares of common stock. The number of record holders was determined from the records of our transfer agent and does not include beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in the names of bank, brokers and other nominees.

 

Dividends

 

We have not paid any cash dividends to our shareholders. The declaration of any future cash dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, and general economic conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.

 

Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans

 

Reference is made to “Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters—Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans” for the information required by this item.


Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities


During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued $330,000 in convertible debentures. The holders of such instruments have the option to convert these convertible debentures into common stocks at conversion prices ranging from $0.05 to $0.20.


During 2019, holders of convertible debentures exercised their conversion options on convertible debentures amounting to $546,824 in exchange for 4,877,350 shares of common stock.


The sale and the issuance of the foregoing securities were offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation D”). We made this determination based on the representations of each investor, as applicable, which included, in pertinent part, that each such investor was either (a) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D or (b) a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act and upon such further representations from each investor that (i) such investor acquired the securities for his, her or its own account for investment and not for the account of any other person and not with a view to or for distribution, assignment or resale in connection with any distribution within the meaning of the Securities Act, (ii) such investor agreed not to sell or otherwise transfer the purchased securities unless they are registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or an exemption or exemptions from such registration are available, (iii) such investor had knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that he, she or it was capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in us, (iv) such investor had access to all of our documents, records, and books pertaining to the investment and was provided the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers regarding the terms and conditions of the offering and to obtain any additional information which we possessed or were able to acquire without unreasonable effort and expense, and (v) such investor had no need for the liquidity in its investment in us and could afford the complete loss of such investment. In addition, there was no general solicitation or advertising for such securities issued in reliance upon these exemptions.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


Introductory Statement


The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes to those consolidated financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Report.  This discussion contains forward-looking statements and information relating to our business that reflect our current views and assumptions with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any update or revisions of any of the forward-looking statements to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or to conform these statements to actual results.


[The coronavirus disease could significantly disrupt our operations and could have a material adverse impact on our business.

 

An outbreak of a new respiratory illness caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) has resulted in hundreds of thousands of infections and tens of thousands of deaths worldwide, as of the date of filing of this Report, and continues to spread in China and abroad, including to the United States and Europe. The outbreak of COVID-19 or of other epidemics could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If the coronavirus worsens in any regions in which we have material operations or sales, our business activities originating from affected areas, including sales, manufacturing and supply chain related activities, could be adversely affected. Disruptive activities could include the temporary closure of our manufacturing facilities and those used in our supply chain processes, restrictions on the export or shipment of our products, significant cutback of ocean container delivery from China, business closures in impacted areas, and restrictions on our employees’ and consultants’ ability to travel and to meet with customers. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the virus and the actions to contain it or treat its impact, among others. COVID-19 could also result in social, economic and labor instability in the countries in which we or our customers and suppliers operate.

 

If workers at one or more of our offices or the offices of our suppliers or manufacturers become ill or are quarantined and in either or both events are therefore unable to work, our operations could be subject to disruption. Further, if our manufacturers become unable to obtain necessary raw materials or components, we may incur higher supply costs or our manufacturers may be required to reduce production levels, either of which may negatively affect our financial condition or results of operations. The extent to which COVID-19 affects our results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its effect, among others.]


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Certain of these significant accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies, as defined below.


A critical accounting policy is defined as one that is both material to the presentation of our consolidated financial statements and requires management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Specifically, critical accounting estimates have the following attributes: 1) we are required to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the estimate; and 2) different estimates we could reasonably have used, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, would have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.




10



 


Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they became known. Based on a critical assessment of our accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, management believes that our consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and present a meaningful presentation of our financial condition and results of operations. We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:


Risks and Uncertainties – The Company’s business could be impacted by price pressure on its product manufacturing, acceptance of its products in the market place, new competitors, changes in federal and/or state legislation and other factors and new technology. If the Company is unsuccessful in securing adequate liquidity, its plans may be curtailed. Adverse changes in these areas could negatively impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Basis of Presentation


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Energy and Water Development Corp and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been reflected herein.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates which are particularly significant to the consolidated financial statements include estimates relating to the determination of impairment of assets, assessment of going concern, the useful life of property and equipment, the determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation, and the recoverability of deferred income tax assets.


Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as stipulated by ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities or a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced to estimated amounts to be realized by the use of the valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is applied when in management’s view it is more likely than not (50%) that such deferred tax will not be utilized.


ASC 740 provides interpretative guidance for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In the unlikely event that an uncertain tax position exists in which the Corporation could incur income taxes, the Corporation would evaluate whether there is a probability that the uncertain tax position taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. A liability for uncertain tax positions would then be recorded if the Corporation determined it is more likely than not that a position would not be sustained upon examination or if a payment would have to be made to a taxing authority and the amount is reasonably estimable.


As of December 31, 2019, and 2018, the Corporation does not believe any uncertain tax positions exist that would result in the Corporation having a liability to the taxing authorities. The Corporation’s policy is to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of interest expense and general and administrative expense, respectively, in the consolidated statement of operations. The Corporation’s tax returns for the years ended 2012 through 2018 are subject to examination by the federal and state tax authorities. The Corporation’s tax returns for the tax year ended 2019 has not been filed.




11



 


We record our provision for income taxes in our statements of operations by estimating our taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. We estimate our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences arising from differing treatment of items recognized for financial reporting versus tax return purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets, which are included in our balance sheets. In general, deferred tax assets represent future tax benefits to be received when certain expenses previously recognized in our statements of operations become deductible expenses under applicable income tax laws, or loss or credit carry forwards are utilized. Valuation allowances are recorded when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. We make these estimates and judgments about our future taxable income that are based on assumptions that are consistent with our future plans. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, we had recorded a full valuation allowance on our U.S. net deferred tax assets because we expect that it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets will not be realized in the foreseeable future. Should the actual amounts differ from our estimates, the amount of our valuation allowance could be materially impacted.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Prepaid, Other Current Assets, Accounts Payable Accrued Expenses, Accrued Salaries, complex conversion features in note instruments and Other Current Liabilities.


The carrying amounts of these items approximated fair value.


Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a measurement date.  A fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.


Described below are the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:


Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities,

Level 2 – Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data,

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.


Stock-Based Payments

 

The Corporation accounts for transactions in which services are received in exchange for stock based on the fair value of such services received from non-employees, in accordance with ASC 505-50 “Equity Based Payments to Non-employees.”


The Corporation follows ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, in accounting for its stock-based payments. This standard states that compensation cost or the value of stock issued for services is measured at the grant date based on the value of the stock granted and is recognized over the vesting or service period.

 

Related Party Transactions


A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. A related party is generally defined as:


 

(i)

any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities including such person’s immediate families,

 

(ii)

the Company’s management,

 

(iii)

someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or

 

(iv)

anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


Accounting standards promulgated by the FASB are subject to change. Changes in such standards may have an impact on the Corporation’s future consolidated financial statements. The following are a summary of recent accounting developments.




12



 


In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) to increase transparency and compatibility among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 affects any entity that enters into a lease, with some specific scope exceptions. The guidance in this update supersedes Topic 840, Leases. The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For public companies, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 will have no material impact on our financial statements.


In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Improvements to Non-Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods and services by expanding the scope of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. The guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim fiscal periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2018-07 will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


In September 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-13, Revenue from Contracts with Customers which amended FASB Accounting Standards Codification® (ASC) by creating Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP and requires revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract.

 

The FASB also issued the following amendments to ASU No. 2014-09 to provide clarification on the guidance:

 

 

·

ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Deferral of the Effective Date

 

·

ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Principal versus Agent (Reporting Revenue Gross vs. Net)

 

·

ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing

 

·

ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients

 

The adoption of Topic 606 is required for public entities for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has adopted the provisions of this ASU for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have an impact on the Company.

 

Results of Operations

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report.


Comparison of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018

 

Revenue

 

For the fiscal years 2019 and 2018, we generated no revenue.

 

General and Administrative Expense

 

General and administrative expense increased by $115,714 or 13.3% to $988,903 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $873,189 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The following discussion provides further explanation of the change in each item.

 



13



 


There was $114,479 in increased professional fees, which includes financial consulting, accounting services and legal fees.  The bulk of the increase came from a $134,400 increase in financial consulting directed towards securing funding, which was partially offset by a $19,921 decrease in accounting services and a near breakeven in legal fees compared to the prior period.  In addition to the increase in professional fees, we incurred increases and decreases in the following items:

 

 

·

$5,658 increase for travel and entertainment a result of focusing resources on financing and offering activities rather than product commercialization;

 

·

$743 increase for advertising and marketing also a result of focusing resources on financing and offering activities; and

 

·

$5,167 decrease for other general and administrative expenses.


Other Income

 

Other Income decreased by $11,456 to $60,288 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $71,744 for the year ended December 31, 2018 primarily due to the following:


 

·

$255,505 increase in other income related to changes in fair value resulting from a derivative liability associated with a loan issued during 2019 which partially offset;

 

·

$266,961 increase in interest expense also related to issuance of debt instruments which incurred interest and resulted in amortization of debt discount in 2019;

 

Net Loss

 

Net Loss increased by $127,170 to $928,615 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $801,445 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This increase was attributable to the increase in general and administrative expenses partially offset by other income, as discussed above.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We had cash of $0 and a working capital deficit of $4,360,260 at December 31, 2019. Our operating and capital requirements in connection with supporting our operations will continue to be significant. Since inception, our losses from operations and working capital requirements have been satisfied through the deferral of payment for services performed by our founders and related parties discussed more fully below.


We have sustained operating losses since our inception. At December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $11,944,919. The Company cannot predict how long it will continue to incur further losses or whether it will ever become profitable as this is dependent upon the reduction of certain expenses and success in obtaining project contracts, among other things. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We also satisfied our cash and working capital requirements in 2019 and 2018, primarily through Company expenses paid by an affiliate EAWC-TV and the issuance of convertible debentures. During 2019, the expenses paid on behalf of the Company totaled $155,537 by an affiliate EAWC-TV. During the years ended December 2019 and 2018, the Company issued $330,000 and $20,000 respectively, in convertible debentures. The holders of the instrument have the option to convert these convertible debentures into common stocks at conversion prices ranging from $0.05 to $0.20.  During 2019, holders of convertible debentures exercised their conversion options on convertible debentures amounting to $546,824 in exchange for 4,877,350 shares of common stock.

 

The above $330,000 of debentures were issued in various forms.  $98,000 of the debentures were originally issued in the form of a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) but were subsequently tainted by the issue of $110,000 in debentures with conversion features that made the number of shares to issue in conversion indeterminate.  An additional $122,000 of simple convertible notes with option to purchase additional shares were issued, which contain fixed conversion terms. The transaction price for these loans payable reflects the fair value of the instruments.

Comparison of Cash Flows for the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

We used $373,200 of cash in our operating activities in 2019 compared to $20,000 used in 2018.  The increase in cash used of $353,200 is due primarily to a $313,755 reduction in working capital provided by working capital components of $548,838 for 2019 compared to $862,593 in 2018.  Cash used by the net loss and net cash adjustments added an additional 39,445 cash used of $922,038 in 2019 compared to $882,593.


Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

We used or provided no funds from our investing activities in 2019 and 2018.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

We received $373,000 and $20,000 in cash from financing activities in 2019 and 2018, respectively.  The increase of $353,200 is due to additional financing in 2019 through $330,000 convertible debentures plus $43,200 in stock sales to investors in the current period compared to the same period one year ago.


Financial Position

 

Total Assets – The Company had assets of $30,375 consisting primarily of deposits to suppliers for future delivery of goods and services in 2019 compared to 2018.


PLAN OF OPERATION AND FUNDING


We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Until we begin to generate revenues and positive cash flow, we expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through affiliate loans and/or further issuances of other securities. There is no assurance that we will be able to meet our working capital requirement from these possible sources. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt will result in dilution to our current shareholders. We may not be able to secure the additional financing necessary to commercialize our products and execute our business strategy, at terms that are acceptable to us.


The mission of EAWD is to provide sustainable water production design and already commercialized systems as well as energy design and systems based on high efficiency and renewable sources, and also smart grid and storage solutions. Through a combination of the best design and configuration of AquaTech, EnergyTech and waste management assisted solutions and technologies, we believe that it is possible to create a completely self-sufficient energy generation and water production system, which can be used at the same time to meet the potable water requirements as well as the electrical energy needs of businesses, communities and entire states or municipalities, like California in the United States or Cape Town in South Africa.


EAWD seeks to promote green technology solutions through commissioned-based distributers and agents worldwide. EAWD anticipates using green tech made in Germany, Switzerland, and the United States such as: atmosphere water generators (AWGs), CO2-free energy production, plasma-assisted gasification and sterilizations systems, solar-powered water purification systems, as well as those in solar and wind energy solutions which we may, when our financial condition permits, further develop ourselves.


Today we have potential technology partners, technology transfer agreements, and technology representation agreements in place relating to aspects of renewable energy and water supply and we believe one of our key unique selling features and capabilities are these relationships. We also believe that one of our key unique selling features and capabilities is the combination of the different disciplines of water, energy, and waste management.


The Company plans to generate revenue through the sale of engineering and technical consultancy services, sales of various identified technologies, and royalties from the sales of energy and/or water in certain projects.

Due to/from affiliate


Effective January 1, 2017 the Company engaged EAWC Tecnologias Verdes, SA (“EAWC-TV”) to provide management services pursuant to the MASA, including disbursement processing for $25,000 per month, totaling $300,000 annually. During the first quarter of 2017 and prior, EAWC-TV had been a borrower from EAWD. But starting in the second quarter of 2017 EAWC-TC began repaying EAWD. The balance due to at December 31, 2017 had decreased to $116,643. In April 2018, EAWC-TV completed the repayment of all funds previously borrowed from EAWD and continued to remit its own funds to EAWD suppliers on behalf of EAWD and in satisfaction of EAWD obligations to its suppliers. During the year ending December 31, 2018, EAWC-TV provided $300,000 of services plus $3,620 net in interest and remitted $170,483 to vendors in satisfaction of EAWD obligations. EAWD also remitted $20,000 to EAWC-TV. The balance due to EAWC-TV by EAWD at December 31, 2018 was $298,313.


During the year ended December 31, 2019, EAWC-TV provided $200,000 of paid services and $100,000 of accrued services plus $13,389 net in interest and remitted $155,537 to vendors in satisfaction of EAWD obligations. EAWD also remitted $358,540 to EAWC-TV. The balance due to EAWC-TV by EAWD at December 31, 2019 was $4,959 in paid charges and $100,000 in unpaid services.  In addition, EAWC-TV also functions as a distributor of EAWD product and as such, has placed a $550,000 order for a solar powered atmospheric water generator (“AWG”) for an EAWC-TV customer, which has been secured by EAWC-TV accepting a $303,742 reduction in the amount due to EAWC-TV in exchange for a customer deposit with EAWD.  The deposit will be repaid out of proceeds from the sale, when performance has occurred.  The equipment is being built in Germany.

 

Going Concern Qualification

 

The Company has begun to commercialize its products by beginning the build out of its initial revenue opportunity.  Due to the timing of the project build out, the Company has not currently received any revenue and consequently has incurred operating losses since it began operations (December 2012) totaling $11,944,919 at December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurred net losses of $928,615. The Company also incurred a working capital deficit of $4,360,260 at December 31, 2019. We are an early stage company and have generated losses from operations since inception. The Company expects operating losses to continue in the foreseeable future because of additional costs and expenses related to research and development activities, plans to expand its product portfolio, and increase its market share.


The Company’s ability to transition attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support its cost structure. The timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based on many factors, including cash flows from operations and the anticipated growth of our business.

 

Based on current operating levels, the Company will need to raise additional funds in the first half of 2020. Management of the Company intends to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities or debt or from deposits related to purchases orders on proposals pending customer acceptance. There can be no assurance that such financing or orders will be available at terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. Failure to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, raise additional capital and reduce discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to obtain funding to finance operating losses until the Corporation is profitable and these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d–15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the forms and rules of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO, in a manner to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.


In connection with the preparation of this Form 10–K, our management, including the CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2019. As described below, management has identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which is an integral component of our disclosure controls and procedures. As a result of those material weaknesses, our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.


Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The term “internal control over financial reporting” is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the registrant’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:


 

·

pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the registrant;

 

·

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and

 

·

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the registrant’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. In addition, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time.


As of December 31, 2019, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013) (COSO) and identified material weaknesses. Due to financial constraints, we have not fully implemented a remediation plan. A “material weakness” is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statement will not be presented or detected by our employees.


The specific material weaknesses that management identified in our internal controls as of December 31, 2019 are as follows:


 

·

Inadequate segregation of duties,

 

·

Limited level of multiple reviews among those tasked with preparing the financial statements,

 

·

Lack of a formal internal control environment.


We consider an incomplete governing board and transactions running through our executives as a failure of our internal control system. To remediate we will require the time and funds to secure additional qualified personnel and the funds to proper support services to facilitate their functions.


The Company is a non-accelerated filer and is not subject to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act. Accordingly, this Annual Report does not contain an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting, since the rules for smaller reporting companies provide for this exemption.




18



 


Plans for Remediation of Material Weaknesses


We intend to implement changes to strengthen our internal controls in addition to the enhanced controls discussed above. We are in the process of implementing a remediation plan for the identified material weaknesses and we expect that work on the plan will continue throughout 2020, as financial resources permit. Specifically, to address the material weaknesses arising from insufficient accounting personnel, the Company plans to hire a full-time Chief Financial Officer. The Company is currently formalizing its policies and procedures in writing and to improve the integration of its financial consolidation and reporting system into non accounting departments. Where appropriate, the Company is receiving advice and assistance from third-party experts as it implements and refines its remediation plan.

 

Additional measures may be necessary, and the measures we expect to take to improve our internal controls may not be sufficient to address the issues identified, to ensure that our internal controls are effective or to ensure that such material weakness or other material weaknesses would not result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements. In addition, other material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may be identified in the future. If we are unable to correct deficiencies in internal controls in a timely manner, our ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information accurately and within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC will be adversely affected. This failure could negatively affect the market price and trading liquidity of our common stock, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, subject us to civil and criminal investigations and penalties, and generally materially and adversely impact our business and financial condition.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Except as otherwise stated above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors during the quarter ended December 31, 2019, that have materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or officers, during the past ten years has:

 

  

·

been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

  

 

 

  

·

had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which the person was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time;

·

been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, the person's involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or been associated with persons engaged in any such activity;

Except as set forth in our discussions in this Report, none of our directors or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

 

Board Committees and Corporate Governance

 

Our board of directors has no separate committees and our board of directors acts as the audit committee and the compensation committee. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by our Board. Because we do not have any independent directors, our Board believes that the establishment of committees of our Board would not provide any benefits to our Company and could be considered more form than substance. We do not yet have an audit committee financial expert serving on our board of directors.


Shareholder Communications

 

Although we do not have a formal policy regarding communications with the Board, shareholders may communicate with the Board by writing to us at 7901 4th Street N STE #4174, St Petersburg, Florida 33072, Attention: Corporate Secretary, or by facsimile (727) 677-9408 or email to hofmeierr@eawctechnologies.com. The envelope or subject line should indicate that it contains a stockholder communication.


Shareholders who would like their submission directed to a member of the board may so specify, and the communication will be forwarded, as appropriate.


Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

 

We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees and officers, including those officers responsible for financial reporting, and directors. The code of business conduct and ethics is included as an exhibit to this Report.

 

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(a) REPORTS


Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors and executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of the Common Stock to file with the SEC the initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent (10%) stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

 



21



 


Specific due dates for such reports have been established by the SEC, and the Company is required to disclose in this Report any failure to file reports by such dates during fiscal year 2019. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, we believe that all reports required to be filed by such persons pursuant to Section 16(a) were filed on a timely basis, with the exception of our officers, directors and greater than 10 percent (10%) beneficial owners listed in the table below:

Applicable percentages are based on 104,932,880 common shares outstanding, adjusted as required by rules of the SEC. Beneficial ownership is determined under the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to options, warrants and convertible notes currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible within 60 days are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of the person holding such securities but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to this table, we believe that each of the stockholders named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock indicated as beneficially owned by them.

 

 

(2)

Ralph Hofmeier is the record holder of 18,237,917 shares of common stock. Irma Velazquez, the wife of Ralph Hofmeier is the record holder of 30,537,483 shares of common stock, over which both Mr. Hofmeier and Ms. Velazquez have joint voting and dispositive power. Andrea Hofmeier, the divorced wife (2012) of Ralph Hofmeier, is the record holder of 8,000,000 shares of common stock.

 

(3)

Applicable percentages are based on 3,780,976 Series A preferred shares outstanding, adjusted as required by rules of the SEC. Series A preferred shares provide for voting rights at 5 votes per preferred share.

 

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans  


On January 2, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the creation of the 2012 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “2012 Plan”). The 2012 Plan provides for the issuance of incentive stock options to designated employees, certain key advisors and non-employee members of the Board of Directors with the opportunity to receive grant awards to acquire, in the aggregate, up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Related Person Transaction Policy

 

Our Board considers and approves or disapproves any related person transaction. The Company’s written policies and procedures on related party transactions cover any transaction, arrangement or relationship or series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) in which: (i) the Company (or any subsidiary) is a participant; (ii) any related party has or will have a direct or indirect interest; and (iii) the aggregate amount involved (including any interest payable with respect to indebtedness) will or may be expected to exceed $120,000, except that there is no $120,000 threshold for members of the audit committee (if any). A related party is any: (i) person who is or was (since the beginning of the two fiscal years preceding the last fiscal year, even if they do not presently serve in that role) an executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director; (ii) greater than five percent (5%) beneficial owner of the Company’s common stock; or (iii) immediate family member of any of the foregoing. An immediate family member includes a person’s spouse, parents, stepparents, children, stepchildren, siblings, mothers- and fathers-in-law, sons- and daughters-in-law, and brothers- and sisters-in-law and any person (other than a tenant or employee) sharing the same household as such person.

 

In determining whether to approve or ratify a related party transaction, the Board, or disinterested directors, as applicable, will take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate: (i) whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances; (ii) the nature and extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction; (iii) the material terms of the transactions; (iv) the importance of the transaction both to the Company and to the related party; (v) in the case of a transaction involving an executive officer or director, whether the transaction would interfere with the performance of such person’s duties to the Company; and (vi) in the case of a transaction involving a non-employee director or a nominee for election as a non-employee director (or their immediate family member), whether the transaction would disqualify the director or nominee from being deemed an “independent” director, and whether the transaction would disqualify the individual from serving on the audit committee or the compensation committee (if any) or other committees of the Board under applicable exchange and other regulatory requirements.

 

The Board only approves those related party transactions that are on terms comparable to, or more beneficial to us than, those that could be obtained in arm’s length dealings with an unrelated third party.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Energy and Water Development Corp.


Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Energy and Water Development Corp. and its subsidiaries (formerly Eurosport Active World Corp.) (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern Matter

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 4. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Energy and Water Development Corp.

(Formerly Eurosport Active World Corp.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



Note 1. Incorporation and Nature of Operations


Energy and Water Development Corp.  (formerly Eurosport Active World Corp.) (the “Corporation”, “Company” or “EAWD”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on December 12, 2007.  In September, 2019, the Company changed its name from Eurosport Active World Corp. to Energy and Water Development Corp. to better present the Company’s purpose and business sector.  We are an engineering services company formed as an outsourcing green tech platform, seeking to exploit renewable energy and water technologies.


Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Basis of Presentation


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Energy and Water Development Corp. (formerly Eurosport Active World Corp.) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been reflected herein.


Certain reclassifications have been made in Fiscal 2018 results to conform to the presentation used in Fiscal 2019.  These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations of the Company.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates which are particularly significant to the consolidated financial statements include estimates relating to the determination of impairment of assets, assessment of going concern, the useful life of property and equipment, the determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation, and the recoverability of deferred income tax assets.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers short-term interest-bearing investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has no cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2019 and 2018.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Prepaid, Other Current Assets, Accounts Payable Accrued Expenses, Accrued Salaries, complex conversion features in note instruments and Other Current Liabilities.


The carrying amounts of these items approximated fair value.


Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a measurement date.  A fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.


Described below are the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:


Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities,

Level 2 – Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data,

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.




F-7



Energy and Water Development Corp.

(Formerly Eurosport Active World Corp.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


The application of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10-35, our derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, were $413,795 and $0, respectively and measured on Level 3 inputs.


Income Taxes


Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as stipulated by ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities or a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced to estimated amounts to be realized by the use of the valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is applied when in management’s view it is more likely than not (50%) that such deferred tax will not be utilized.


ASC 740 provides interpretative guidance for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In the unlikely event that an uncertain tax position exists in which the Corporation could incur income taxes, the Corporation would evaluate whether there is a probability that the uncertain tax position taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. A liability for uncertain tax positions would then be recorded if the Corporation determined it is more likely than not that a position would not be sustained upon examination or if a payment would have to be made to a taxing authority and the amount is reasonably estimable.


As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Corporation does not believe any uncertain tax positions exist that would result in the Corporation having a liability to the taxing authorities. The Corporation’s policy is to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of interest expense and general and administrative expense, respectively, in the consolidated statement of operations. The Corporation’s tax returns for the years ended 2012 through 2018 are subject to examination by the federal and state tax authorities. The Corporation’s tax returns for the tax year ended 2019 have not been filed.


Stock-Based Payments


In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Improvements to Non-Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods and services by expanding the scope of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. The guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim fiscal periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


The Corporation follows ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, in accounting for its stock-based payments. This standard states that compensation cost or the value of stock issued for services is measured at the grant date based on the value of the stock granted and is recognized over the vesting or service period.


Loss Per Common Share


The Corporation accounts for earnings (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 260 - 10, “Earnings Per Share”, which establishes the requirements for presenting earnings per share (“EPS”). FASB ASC Topic No. 260 - 10 requires the presentation of “basic” and “diluted” EPS on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS amounts are calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS assumes the exercise of all stock options, warrants and convertible securities having exercise prices less than the average market price of the common stock during the periods, using the treasury stock method. When a loss from operations exists, potential common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because their inclusion would result in an anti-dilutive effect on per share amounts.


For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, an aggregate of 2,200,000 stock options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as the inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive.



F-8



Energy and Water Development Corp.

(Formerly Eurosport Active World Corp.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


As discussed more fully in Note 6, convertible note holders have the option of converting their loans into common shares commencing on February 19, 2019, the completion of an approved S-1 registration of its common shares. Some note holders were also granted warrants to purchase additional shares, however these warrants expired after one year from the date of the note. Convertible note holders began exercising their conversion feature in Q2 2019 and as of December 31, 2019, had converted $546,824 of debt into 4,877,350 common shares. If the remaining convertible note holders of unexercised notes exercised their conversion feature and additional purchase option, they would represent 5,380,000 and 4,917,350 in additional common shares at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.  The potential shares from both the conversion feature and the rights to purchase additional shares were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as the inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive.


Related Party Transactions


A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. A related party is generally defined as:


 

(i)

any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities including such person’s immediate families,

 

(ii)

the Company’s management,

 

(iii)

someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or

 

(iv)

anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company.


Note 3. Recently Issued Accounting Standards


Accounting standards promulgated by the FASB are subject to change. Changes in such standards may have an impact on the Corporation’s future consolidated financial statements. The following are a summary of recent accounting developments.


In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) to increase transparency and compatibility among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 affects any entity that enters into a lease, with some specific scope exceptions. The guidance in this update supersedes Topic 840, Leases. The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For public companies, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 will have no impact on our financial statements.


Note 4. Going Concern


The Company has received a deposit on its first order, which it has not yet delivered, consequently it has recognized no revenue.  The Company has incurred operating losses since it began operations (December 2012) totaling $11,944,919 at December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Corporation incurred net losses of $928,615. The Company also incurred a working capital deficit of $4,360,260 at December 31, 2019.


These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Corporation to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to obtain funding to finance operating losses until the Corporation is profitable. The Corporation expects to be financed through equity capital, debt financing or from deposits related to purchases orders on proposals pending customer acceptance.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



Note 4. Going Concern (continued)


In the event the Corporation does not generate sufficient funds from issuance of common stock, debt financing or purchase orders, it may be unable to fully implement its business plan and pay its obligations as they become due, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Accrued salaries represent amounts earned for services rendered in accordance with the employment agreements for the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer but unpaid as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.  As discussed further in Note 10, on January 9, 2020, accrued salaries totaling $2,238,000 were paid with the issuance of 2,044,190 shares of common stock and 3,780,976 shares of Series A preferred stock.


Due to affiliate


Effective February 1, 2013, the Corporation entered into an exclusive 10 year Technology Transfer Agreement and License Agreement (the “Technology Transfer and License Agreement”) with Swiss Water Tech Research & Development S.A. (SWATE), an entity owned and controlled by the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer who are the primary beneficiaries. Under the terms of the agreement, SWATE:


 

·

will transfer to the Corporation the license to manufacture products developed by SWATE;

 

·

will provide all know-how and technical assistance necessary for the exploitation of their licensed patents and the manufacture of certain products; and

 

·

will grant the Corporation the use of certain related trademarks.


During the ensuing years, the Corporation did not generate any revenue as a result of the products and licenses related to the Technology Transfer and License Agreement, accordingly the Corporation was only required to pay to SWATE a minimum annual royalty fee stipulated in the agreement. During 2013 the Corporation accrued the minimum fee of approximately $542,000 in accordance with the terms of the agreement, which was settled in 2014. Subsequently, SWATE waived licenses fees for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017.

Note 5. Related Party Transactions (continued)


On January 5, 2018, the parties terminated the Technology Transfer and License Agreement. Further, it was agreed that the Company was entitled to manufacture the products only and exclusively for the concept of waste to energy without having to pay any further royalties until February 1, 2023. Effective with the termination of the Technology Transfer and License Agreement, all commercial activities between SWATE and the Company ceased.


Effective February 1, 2013, the Corporation also entered into an International Service Contract with SWATE (the “SWATE Service Contract”). Under this agreement, SWATE provided operations management, engineering and technical services to the Corporation. The SWATE Service Contract has a term of five years, and provides for a monthly service fee of $35,000, plus out-of-pocket expenses.


On November 1, 2016, SWATE and the Corporation executed a Termination of its International Services Contract effective from December 31, 2016. It was further agreed that the outstanding balance at December 31, 2016 of $712,070 would be settled with the issuance of 712,070 restricted common shares of the Company. EAWC issued 712,070 shares on February 2, 2018, which were fair valued at $85,448.  The difference of $626,622 was accounted for as a capital contribution from a related party.


Note 6. Other Current Liabilities


Due to affiliate distributor


Effective January 2017 the Company engaged EAWC Tecnologias Verdes, SA (“EAWC-TV”) to provide management services, including disbursement processing for $25,000 per month, totaling $300,000 annually. During the first quarter of 2017 and prior, EAWC-TV had been a borrower from EAWD. But starting in the second quarter of 2017 EAWC-TC began repaying EAWD. The balance due to at December 31, 2017 had decreased to $116,643. In April 2018, EAWC-TV completed the repayment of all funds previously borrowed from EAWD and continued to remit its own funds to EAWD suppliers on behalf of EAWD and in satisfaction of EAWD obligations to its suppliers. During the year ending December 31, 2018, EAWC-TV provided $300,000 of services plus $3,620 net in interest and remitted $170,483 to vendors in satisfaction of EAWD obligations. EAWD also remitted $20,000 to EAWC-TV. The balance due to EAWC-TV by EAWD at December 31, 2018 was $298,313.


During the year ended December 31, 2019, EAWC-TV provided $200,000 of paid services and $100,000 of accrued services plus $13,389 net in interest and remitted $155,537 to vendors in satisfaction of EAWD obligations. EAWD also remitted $358,540 to EAWC-TV. The balance due to EAWC-TV by EAWD at December 31, 2019 was $4,959 in paid charges and $100,000 in unpaid services.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



Note 6. Other Current Liabilities (continued)


Customer deposit


In addition to providing management services and disbursement processing to EAWD as described above, EAWC-TV also functions as a distributor of EAWD products and engineering services.  EAWC-TV, having secured EAWD’s first customer, has placed a $550,000 order for a solar powered atmospheric water generator (“AWG”) for one of its customers.  EAWC-TV and the Company agreed to accept a $303,742 reduction in the balance owed by EAWD to EAWC-TV as a deposit with EAWD related to this order.  The deposit will be satisfied through delivery of the equipment when performance has occurred.  The equipment is being built in Germany.


Investor deposit


On December 16, 2019, the Company received $10,000 from a potential investor to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company has not received the required signed and completed subscription stock purchase agreements and accordingly has not issued the shares.  This deposit is recorded in the balance sheet as a transaction deposit until instructions are formalized and signed purchase documents are received.


Note 7. Convertible Loans Payable


As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the balance of convertible loans payable net of discount was $243,923 and $586, 825, respectively.  The notes were issued in several different forms as discussed below.


Convertible loans


From December 2015 through December 2018, the Company issued convertible loans payable to an aggregate of 11 note holders, raising $586,825. These convertible loans are due on demand, unsecured, have no maturity date and are generally non-interest bearing although a few of the notes provide for 2% interest. The note holders have the option to convert the loans into 4,917,350 common shares at conversion prices ranging from $1.00 to $.05 per share. The conversion feature is exercisable for one year after the issuance date of the note. For older notes with expired conversion options, management granted an extension as requested.


These convertible loans, issued in 2018 and prior, were determined to be solely debt without an equity portion as the Company has determined that these conversion options issued are not beneficial. As such, these convertible debentures have no equity portion and are presented as loans payables in the financial statements. The transaction price for these loans payable reflects the fair value of the instruments issued.


During the year ended December 31, 2019, by mutual agreement between the Company and the debt holders, an aggregate of $546,824 of outstanding convertible debt was converted into 4,877,350 common shares of the Company at a conversion price ranging from $0.10 - $1.00 per share. In addition, the Company has issued 40,000 conditional shares to several note holders pending paperwork to complete the conversion. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had outstanding convertible loans in this form of $40,000 and $586,825, respectively.


Convertible notes with beneficial conversion feature


During the first quarter of 2019, the Company issued two unsecured, convertible loans payable one for $50,000 and one for $48,000 which are due on February 19, 2020.  The $50,000 note accrues no interest whereas the $48,000 note accrues interest at 2% per annum.  Combined, the notes are convertible into 1,960,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.05 per share which is a discount to the market price on the date of the issuance (beneficial conversion feature). After performing an analysis of the conversion option under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that the instrument does not qualify for derivative accounting treatment. The Company therefore performed an analysis if the conversion option was subject to a beneficial conversion feature and determined that it was.  Accordingly, the Company recorded a debt discount of $98,000 for the value of the beneficial conversion feature.  For the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 the Company amortized debt discount of $89,852 and $0, respectively. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had outstanding convertible loans with a beneficial conversion feature of $98,000 and $0, respectively, less unamortized debt discount of $8,148 and $0, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



Note 7. Convertible Loans Payable (continued)


As discussed further below, on August 7, 2019, the Company entered into an $110,000 8% unsecured, convertible note that contained an embedded derivative which made the number of shares to be issued under the notes to be indeterminate.  Due to the fact that the number of shares issuable are indeterminate, the equity environment was tainted, and the convertible notes are included in the value of the derivative.  On August 7, 2019, the date the equity environment became tainted, the Company recorded a reduction to additional paid in capital in the amount of $559,300 in connection with the initial valuation of the derivative liability of the convertible notes based on the Black Scholes Merton pricing model.


The fair value of the embedded derivatives was determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions:

The derivative liability related to these convertible notes was $413,795 and $0 as of December 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a gain of $255,505 and $0, respectively, related to the change in fair value on the convertible notes.


Convertible notes with a variable conversion feature


On August 7, 2019, the Company entered into an $110,000 8%, unsecured, convertible note to provide interim financing.  The note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum. All interest and principal must be repaid before or on August 7, 2020. The note is convertible into common stock, at the holder’s option, at a price equal to 70% of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock during the 20 trading day period prior to conversion. In the event the Company prepays the note in full, the Company is required to pay off all principal, interest and any other amounts owing multiplied by:


(i)

115% if prepaid during the period commencing on the closing date through 60 days thereafter,

(ii)

120% if prepaid 61 days following the closing through 120 days following the closing, and

(iii)

135% if prepaid 121 days following the closing through 180 days following the closing.

Note 11. Income Taxes


On December 22, 2017, the US Congress enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Reform Legislation), which made significant changes to US federal income tax law affecting us including a reduction in the corporate tax rate to 21% for tax years beginning with 2018. These changes will impact changes in our valuation allowance, components of our tax rate reconciliation and realization of loss carryforwards.


The Company maintains deferred tax assets and liabilities that reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The net deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance because of the uncertainty of the attainment of future taxable income. The Company did not have an income tax provision or benefit for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company has incurred losses and therefore has provided a full valuation against net deferred tax assets as December 31, 2019 and 2018.


The items accounting for the difference between income taxes at the effective statutory rate and the provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:
