Notes to the Financial Statements |
(expressed in U.S. dollars) |
1. | Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business |
On January 1, 2006, Freshwater Technologies Inc. (formerly HMI Technologies Inc.) (HMI) entered into an Asset Acquisition Agreement to acquire the business of Freshwater Technologies (Freshwater). HMI was incorporated in the State of Nevada, U.S.A. on December 10, 1999. Its principal business now involves the distribution and marketing of drinking water products and water activation products. HMI is a Development Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No.7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises. Effective January 1, 2006, the acquisition of the Freshwater business was completed through the issuance of 80,000,000 split-adjusted restricted shares of common stock, and as a result, the former owners of the Freshwater business own approximately 79% of the outstanding common stock of HMI. |
|
Prior to the acquisition of Freshwater, HMI was a non-operating shell company with nominal net assets. The acquisition is a capital transaction in substance and therefore has been accounted for as a recapitalization, which is outside the scope of SFAS 141, Business Combinations. Under recapitalization accounting, Freshwater is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes, and acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of HMI. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are reported at their historical amounts. These financial statements include the accounts of HMI since the effective date of the recapitalization (January 1, 2006) and the historical accounts of the business of Freshwater since inception (collectively, the Company). Refer to Note 5. |
|
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has generated limited revenues to date and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. In order to fund the proposed plan of operation, the Company will require an additional $1,000,000 to $1,400,000 in funding through the next twelve month period. As at March 31, 2009, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $1,104,301 and a working capital deficit of $262,596. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its directors and officers, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the business. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. |
|
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
a) | Basis of Presentation |
|
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Companys fiscal year-end is December 31. |
||
b) | Interim Financial Statements |
|
These interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period. |
||
c) | Use of Estimates |
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to provision for uncollectible sales, provision for inventory obsolescence, donated expenses and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Companys estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. |

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
d) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As at March 31, 2009, the Company had no cash equivalents. |
||
e) | Inventory |
|
Inventory consists of water activation products and water filters and is recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company establishes inventory reserves for estimated obsolete or unmarketable inventory equal to the differences between the cost of inventory and the estimated realizable value based upon assumptions about future and market conditions. Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of cost of sales in the statement of operations. |
||
f) | Comprehensive Loss |
|
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at March 31, 2009, the Company has no items that represent comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements. |
||
g) | Financial Instruments |
|
The Company has various financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, receivables, accounts payable and amounts due to related parties. The fair values of these financial instruments were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or relatively short maturity of these instruments. |
||
h) | Foreign Currency Translation |
|
The Companys functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with SFAS No. 52 Foreign Currency Translation using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. |
||
i) | Revenue Recognition |
|
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of drinking water products and water activation products in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (SAB 104), Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. The majority of the sales consist of water activation units in Costa Rica, Panama and Peru. Revenue consists of the sale of drinking water products and water activation products and is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product is shipped, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Our shipping terms are FOB shipping point. For UV products, the customer pays all costs from the point of shipment, and for ELCE products, the customer pays all costs from arrival point in the country to which the ELCE products are shipped. The Company evaluates the collectibility of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. In cases where the Company is aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customers ability to meet its financial obligations subsequent to the original sale, the Company will record an allowance against amounts due, and thereby reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount the Company reasonably believes will be collected. For all other customers, the Company recognizes allowances for doubtful accounts based on the length of time the receivables are past due, the current business environment and the Companys historical experience. |
||
j) | Stock-based Compensation |
|
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R Share Based Payments, using the modified retrospective transition method. The Company has not issued any stock options or share based payments since its inception. Accordingly, there was no effect on the Companys reported loss from operations, cash flows or loss per share as a result of adopting SFAS No 123R. |

k) | Intangible Assets |
|
Intangible assets represent costs incurred to acquire product distribution rights under the agreement disclosed in Note 6(c). The useful life of the product distribution rights acquired has been estimated by management to be two years. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life. During the three month period ended March 31, 2009, the Company recorded $40,068 in amortization expense in relation to these assets. |
||
l) | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements |
|
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60. SFAS No. 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities, and requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprises risk-management activities. SFAS No. 163 requires that disclosures about the risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period beginning after issuance. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements. |
||
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements. |
||
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements. |
||
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No.51 SFAS No. 160 requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non controlling interest. SFAS No. 160 also requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SAFAS No. 160 also requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parents owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements. |

5. | Recapitalization Transaction |
On January 1, 2006, Freshwater Technologies Inc. (formerly HMI Technologies Inc.) (HMI) entered into an Asset Acquisition Agreement to acquire the business of Freshwater Technologies (Freshwater) which involves the distribution and marketing of drinking water products and water activation products. Effective January 1, 2006, the acquisition of the Freshwater business was completed through the issuance of 80,000,000 split-adjusted restricted shares of common stock, and as a result, the former owners of the Freshwater business own approximately 79% of the outstanding common stock of HMI. |
|
Prior to the acquisition of Freshwater, HMI was a non-operating shell company with nominal net assets. The acquisition is a capital transaction in substance and therefore has been accounted for as a recapitalization, which is outside the scope of SFAS 141, Business Combinations. The acquisition has been accounted for as a continuation of the Freshwater Technologies business in accordance with EITF 98-3 Determining Whether a Nonmonetary Transaction Involves Receipt of Productive Assets or of a Business. Under recapitalization accounting, Freshwater is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes, and acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of HMI. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are reported at their historical amounts. These financial statements include the accounts of HMI since the effective date of the recapitalization (January 1, 2006) and the historical accounts of the business of Freshwater since inception (collectively, the Company). |

(Watergeeks) pursuant to which the Company had agreed to issue 30,000,000 Class A common shares in order to obtain the exclusive, worldwide rights to distribute and sell the Watergeeks products. The closing of this agreement was conditional upon the Companys satisfaction following a due diligence review of Watergeeks and its corporate, legal and financial documents. The 30,000,000 shares were held in escrow pursuant to the Distribution Agreement pending the outcome of due diligence. On February 13, 2009, the Company terminated the Distribution Agreement with Watergeeks due to an unsatisfactory due diligence review and cancelled and returned to treasury the 30,000,000 common shares that were being held in escrow. |
||
c) | On January 25, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with ELCE International Corp.

6. | Commitments (continued) |
d) | In February 2009, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Ancizar Rendon Ramirez to act as Agent for ELCE sales in the Southern Region of Colombia, South America. The Company will pay $1,000 monthly for these consulting services including related sales expenses and a commission of 10% for all collected ELCE sales in the Southern Region of Colombia. The agreement is for a one year term which expires January 31, 2010, is renewable annually and can be terminated by the Company with three months notice. |
7. | Economic Dependence |
The Company relies solely upon R-Can Environmental Inc. (R-Can), as the sole supplier of their drinking water products, ELCE International Inc. (ELCE), as the sole supplier of their water activation products and Ozocan Corporation as sole supplier of ozone water treatment systems. R-Can and ELCE supplied the Company with 100% of the products that the Company offered and sold during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008. R-Can, Ozocan and ELCE are the sole manufacturers and primary developers of the respective technologies in such products. As a result, the Company could be adversely affected by changes in the cost of the suppliers products, the financial condition of the suppliers or by the deterioration or termination of its relationship with the suppliers. |

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Forward Looking Statements
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are projections of events, revenues, income, future economic performance or managements plans and objectives for our future operations. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as may, should, expects, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, potential or continue or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled Risk Factors and the risks set out below, any of which may cause our or our industrys 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.
While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our financial statements are stated in United States dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to common stock refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
As used in this quarterly report, the terms we, us, our, and Freshwater mean Freshwater Technologies, Inc., unless otherwise indicated.
Corporate History
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 10, 1999 under the name HMI Technologies Inc. Following incorporation until January 1, 2006, we sought out prospective businesses with which to enter into a merger or business combination. On January 1, 2006, we entered into and closed an asset sale agreement with Max Weissengruber and D. Brian Robertson, whereby we acquired all of the assets related to the business as operated by Mr. Weissengruber and Mr. Robertson under the name Freshwater Technologies in consideration for the issuance of 40,000,000 common shares to each individual. Following the closing of the asset sale agreement, we commenced the business of distributing and selling drinking water products and water activation products. On July 5, 2006, we changed our name from HMI Technologies Inc. to Freshwater Technologies, Inc. to better reflect our new business direction. Following the closing of the asset sale agreement, we appointed Max Weissengruber as our President and director and Brian Robertson as our Chief Financial Officer and director.
Current Business
We are a distributor of water treatment products to local distributors and retailers for household and commercial applications. We currently offer three product lines consisting of drinking water treatment products and water activation products. The drinking water treatment products feature Sterilight branded ultra violet products that are supplied to our company by VIQUA(formerly R-Can Environmental Inc.), a manufacturer based out of Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Sterilight branded ultraviolet water treatment systems incorporate ultraviolet light energy that eradicates harmful microbiological contaminants in drinking water. Traditional disinfectant methods such as chlorination reacts with natural organic matter to produce objectionable taste and odor and also forms substances with known carcinogenic properties such as trihalomethane. Genetic components in organisms carry hereditary characteristics that are copied and transmitted from each cell of water borne contaminants such as bacteria, viruses and parasites. The Sterilight ultraviolet lamp emits powerful ultraviolet light energy which, when absorbed by these contaminants, causes disruption of the DNA Structure of those contaminants preventing reproduction. It is the
- 3 -
prevention of reproduction by microbial contaminants that renders ultraviolet treated water safe for human consumption. Sterilight lamps provide consistent UV output over the 9,000 hour life of the lamp and uniform temperature distribution calculated to achieve the desired levels of decontamination.
Our drinking water treatment products also feature the ozone water treatment systems of Ozocan Corporation for the countries of Argentina, Chile, Peru, Costa Rica and Panama. As a proven disinfectant, ozone is more powerful than chlorine and, unlike chlorine, it discharges no potentially harmful substances into the environment. Used in a variety of water treatment applications, Ozocans products effectively treat municipal and industrial drinking water and waste water, are used in bottled water applications as well as treating air conditioning and cooling tower installations. Ozocan systems can be found throughout the globe either as custom designed applications or in one of a number of standard sized units that can meet the effective treatment needs of a wide variety of customers.
Our water activation products are designed to improve the operating efficiency of commercial and industrial boilers and refrigeration systems without the use of chemicals. Our water activation products are supplied to our company by ELCE International Corp., the worldwide distributor of ELCE products invented by Nihon Jisui Co. Ltd. of Japan. We order units from ELCE International Corp. which are then shipped against customer orders or shipped directly to one of our eleven local distributors located in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Panama and Peru. ELCE water activation treatment systems remove rust, scale and corrosion within heating and cooling systems. The water activation units, which range in water flow capacity from 11 liters per minute to over 3,000 liters per minute, change water properties physically without removing or adding chemical impurities, ions or minerals.We will only purchase limited quantities of replacement filters and lamps for our water purification products for inventory as our distributors will be inventorying the majority of replacement parts. We will purchase all other finished product from our two supplier-manufacturers in quantities sufficient to satisfy product orders of our customers.
In January 2009, we signed a Joint Venture Agreement with ELCE International Corp., the company who has been a significant supplier to our company for a number of years. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, ELCE International will supply its ELCE water activation units at manufacturers cost to Freshwater and will participate with Freshwater to market and sell ELCE products in Argentina, Chile, Columbia, Costa Rica, Panama and Peru. ELCE International has compiled technical information on ELCE equipment installed world-wide in a variety of commercial, industrial, agricultural and aquacultural applications. We intend to target industries and companies for whom ELCE has already provided effective solutions in terms of eliminating or reducing encrustations and corrosion, improving energy efficiency and improving productivity and output.
The essential elements of the ELCE device lie in the properties of its ceramic balls, hardened to 1200 degrees Centigrade. As water passes through the stainless steel chamber containing the ceramic balls, the balls rotate and rub against each other generating several forms of electrical energy which act to reduce and eliminate the accumulated rust, scale and corrosion that is caused by minerals and salts in the source water. As a result, ELCE water activation eliminates the conventional use and ongoing costs of continually using harsh chemicals to clean out deposits within heating and cooling systems. We have formalized our relationship with ELCE International Corp. with a non-exclusive distribution agreement and a joint venture agreement. We have also formalized our relationship with VIQUA(formerlyR-Can Environmental Inc.) and Oxocan Corporation pursuant to non-exclusive distribution agreements. We also offer a full line of accessories, replacement parts and services compatible with all types of our water treatment systems.
General
The following is a discussion and analysis of our results of operation for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2008, and the factors that could affect our future financial condition. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. All references to dollar amounts in this section are in United States dollars unless expressly stated otherwise.

Results of Operations
Material Changes in Financial Condition
March 31, 2009 | December 31, 2008 | |||||
Current Assets | $ | 16,223 | $ | 1,876 | ||
Current Liabilities | 278,819 | 206,548 | ||||
Working Capital Deficiency | $ | 262,596 | $ | 204,672 |
Total assets at March 31, 2009 were $426,155 as compared to $1,876 at December 31, 2008.
$409,962 of this increase is attributable to Intangible Assets as described below:
On January 25, 2009, the Company issued 10,000,000 restricted shares of Class A common stock under the joint venture agreement with ELCE International Corp. The fair value of the restricted shares issued was estimated to be $150,000 as determined on the measurement date using quoted prices in an active market, less a 75% discount to reflect the effect of the restriction. Under the agreement, the Company is also obligated to issue a further 20,000,000 restricted shares of Class A common stock. The fair value of these restricted shares was estimated to be $300,000 as determined on the measurement date using quoted prices in an active market, less a 75% discount to reflect the effect of the restriction. As at March 31, 2009, the estimated fair value of these shares has been presented as Class A common stock issuable on the balance sheet. The estimated fair value of the 30,000,000 shares issued and to be issued under the agreement of $450,000 has been recorded as intangible assets at March 31, 2009, less accumulated amortization of $40,068.
The remaining increase is due to an increase of $1,964 in cash, an increase of $4,869 in other receivables and an increase of 7,514 in inventory.
Liabilities at March 31, 2009 were $278,819 as compared to $206,548 at December 31, 2008. The increase is due to an increase of $17,120 in accrued liabilities and an increase of $55,151 due to our directors and officers. The amounts due to our directors and officers total $223,108 and are non-interest bearing, unsecured and have no specific terms for repayment.
Revenue
We generated revenues of $130 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009, compared to revenues of $1,426 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008. The cost of sales on the orders for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 was $88, compared to cost of sales on the orders for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 of $601.
This revenue was generated from sales of our drinking water products.
Operating Costs and Expenses
The major components of our revenue and expenses for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 and from date of inception until March 31, 2009 are outlined in the table below:

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, our operating expenses totalled $100,962 as compared to $54,833 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Amortization of intangible assets representing costs incurred to acquire product distribution rights under the joint venture agreement with ELCE International Corp. amounted to $40,068 for the three months ended March 31,2009 compared with nil for the three months ended March 31,2008 as the agreement was signed January 25, 2009. Professional fees amounted to $22,478 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $21,820 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Marketing and sales expenses and consultants costs were $61,589 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $24,913 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 with the increase being due to an increase in travel expenses and fees for our Director of Latin America sales of $8,157, an increase in fees and expenses for our Agent in Colombia of $3,400 and an increase in costs relating to our Joint Venture Agreement with ELCE International Corp. of $25,119. General and administrative expenses were $4,941 during the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $1,196 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase is due to increased trust company costs and shareholder communication costs. Imputed interest on directors loans was $2,928 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $7,784 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This decrease is due to the completion of a debt settlement and subscription agreement in August 2008 whereby $560,000 of debt to directors was settled by the issuance of 11,200,000 common shares of our company which reduced the imputed interest charged on Directors loans. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 we recovered $31,042 of sales previously written off as compared to $880 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

We had cash on hand of $2,124 and negative working capital of $262,596 as of March 31, 2009 compared to cash on hand of $160 and negative working capital of $204,672 for the year ended December 31, 2008. We anticipate that we will require approximately $1,000,000 to $1,400,000 for operating expenses, including professional, legal and accounting expenses associated with our reporting requirements under the Exchange Act during the next twelve months. Accordingly, we do not have enough money to carry out our business plan and we will need to obtain additional financing in order to continue operating
There are no assurances that we will earn the funds required for our continued operations. If we do not earn the required revenues, then we will have to seek another source of financing, likely through the sale of more shares of our common stock or borrowing money. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon a combination of our ability to obtain further long-term financing, the successful and sufficient market acceptance of any product offerings that we may introduce, the continuing successful development of our product offerings, and, finally, our ability to achieve a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Operating Activities
Operating activities used cash of $35,187 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and used cash of $12,488 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $37,151 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and net cash provide by financing activities was $12,888 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. These financing activities were provided by two directors of our company.
Non-cash Investing and Financing Activities
In January 2009, we signed a Joint Venture Agreement with ELCE International Corp. Under the Agreement we are to issue 30,000,000 common shares with an estimated fair value of $450,000 on the date of the agreement for certain distribution rights.
Going Concern
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on our audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that led to this disclosure by our independent auditors. There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation and expansion of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing, successful and sufficient market acceptance of our products, and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
- 7 -
Future Financings
Fundraising will be one of our primary objectives over the next twelve months. The financial requirements of our company for the next twelve months will depend on our ability to raise the money we require through credit facilities and additional private placements of our equity securities or loans from our directors. The issuance of additional equity securities by us may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current shareholders.
There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain the funds required for our continued operations or that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations. We do not currently have any plans to merge with another company, and we have not entered into any agreements or understandings for any such merger.
Our cash on hand and the revenue that we anticipate generating going forward from our operations will not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve month period. We expect to require from $1,000,000 to $1,400,000. We intend to raise any such additional capital primarily through the private placement of our securities and further borrowings from our directors if this type of funding continues to be available. We also intend to continue to seek additional funds from our directors to fund our day to day operations until a private placement can be pursued but we have no guarantee that our directors will continue to fund our day to day operations.
Estimated Working Capital Expenditures During the Next Twelve Month Period
We estimate our future expenditures for the next twelve months as follows:
Operating expenditures | ||||
Marketing | $ | 400,000 - 550,000 | ||
General and Administrative | $ | 50,000 - 75,000 | ||
Legal and Accounting | $ | 50,000 - 75,000 | ||
Working capital | $ | 400,000 - 500,000 | ||
Repayment of Directors Advances | $ | 100,000 - 200,000 | ||
Total | $ | 1,000,000 - 1,400,000 |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to provision for uncollectible sales, provision for inventory obsolescence, donated expenses and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. Our company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by our company may differ materially and adversely from our companys estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
- 8 -
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Our company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As at March 31, 2009, we had no cash equivalents.
Inventory
Inventory consists of water activation products and water filters and is recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. Our company establishes inventory reserves for estimated obsolete or unmarketable inventory equal to the differences between the cost of inventory and the estimated realizable value based upon assumptions about future and market conditions. Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of cost of sales in the statement of operations.
Revenue Recognition
Our company recognizes revenue from the sale of drinking water products and water activation products in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (SAB 104), Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. The majority of the sales consist of water activation units in Costa Rica, Panama and Peru. Revenue consists of the sale of drinking water products and water activation products and is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product is shipped, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Our shipping terms are FOB shipping point. For UV products, the customer pays all costs from the point of shipment, and for ELCE products, the customer pays all costs from arrival point in the country to which the ELCE products are shipped. Our company evaluates the collectibility of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. In cases where our company is aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customers ability to meet its financial obligations subsequent to the original sale, our company will record an allowance against amounts due, and thereby reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount our company reasonably believes will be collected. For all other customers, our company recognizes allowances for doubtful accounts based on the length of time the receivables are past due, the current business environment and our companys historical experience.
Comprehensive Loss
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at March 31, 2009, we have no items that represent comprehensive loss and, therefore, have not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
Financial Instruments
Our company has various financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and amounts due to related parties. The fair values of these financial instruments were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or relatively short maturity of these instruments.
Foreign Currency Translation
Our companys functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with SFAS No. 52 Foreign Currency Translation using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. We have not, to the date of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Stock-based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, our company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R Share Based Payments, using the modified retrospective transition method. Our company has not issued any stock options
- 9 -
or share based payments since its inception. Accordingly, there was no effect on our companys reported loss from operations, cash flows or loss per share as a result of adopting SFAS No 123R.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60. SFAS No. 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities, and requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprises risk-management activities. SFAS No. 163 requires that disclosures about the risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period beginning after issuance. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted AccountingPrinciples. SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosuresabout Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No.51 SFAS No. 160 requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non controlling interest. SFAS No. 160 also requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SAFAS No. 160 also requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parents owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
Risks and Uncertainties
Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other forward looking statements. Such forward looking statements include any projections and estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.
- 10 -
Such estimates, projections or other forward looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other forward looking statements.
Risks Related to the Economy
The recent weakening of economic conditions around the world could have harmful effects on our business. If these harmful effects cause us to scale down our planned operations, then our share price will likely decrease. If these harmful effects cause us to cease our operations, then our shareholders will likely lose their entire investment in our company.
The recent weakening of economic conditions around the world could have harmful effects on our business. Weakening economic conditions generally lead to less money being spent on luxuries, which water treatment products may be considered by many to be. If consumers spend less and do not choose to spend their limited funds on our water treatment products, we will earn less revenue than we currently plan on and we will not be able to achieve profitable operations.
The recent economic problems will likely also have a negative impact on the amount of money we may expect to raise through sales of our equity securities. Many investors have recently seen large decreases in the value of various investments due to declining share prices across many economic sectors. Because of this and other market factors, if we choose to raise funds through the sale of our equity securities, potential investors may be less likely to buy our equity securities or we may be need to sell our equity securities at low prices, resulting in fewer proceeds. This would make it difficult for us to raise adequate amounts to fund our operations through the sale of our equity securities.
If we are unable to fund our operations through revenues or the sale of our equity securities, then we may choose to borrow money to pay for some of our operations. A tightening of credit conditions has also been experienced in the economy recently. Because of the recent credit crisis, it is possible that we would not be able to borrow adequate amounts to fund our operations on terms and at rates of interest we find acceptable and in the best interests of our company.
If we cannot fund our planned operations from revenue, the sale of our equity securities or through incurring debt on acceptable terms, then we will likely have to scale down or cease our operations. If we scale down our operations, our share price would likely decrease and if we cease our operations, shareholders will likely lose their entire investment in our company.
The recent weakening of economic conditions around the world could have harmful effects on the operations of our customers and suppliers and the confidence of end consumers, all of which could cause our operations to suffer and our revenues to decrease.
Some of our customers or suppliers could experience serious cash flow problems due to the current economic situation. If our customers or suppliers attempt to increase their prices, pass through increased costs, alter payment terms or seek other relief, our business may suffer from decreased sales to final consumers or increased costs to us. If any of our vendors or suppliers go out of business, we may not be able to replace them with other companies of the same quality and level of service. If the quality of our products and promptness of delivery deteriorates as a result, our revenue will likely decrease as retailers and consumers would be less likely to choose our products out of those available to them.
We do not expect that the difficult economic conditions are likely to improve significantly in the near future, and further deterioration of the economy, and even consumer fear that the economy will deteriorate further, could intensify the adverse effects of these difficult market conditions.

Risks Related to our Company
We have had minimal revenues from operations and if we are not able to obtain further financing we may be forced to scale back or cease operations or our business operations may fail.
To date, we have not generated significant income from our operations and we have been dependent on sales of our equity securities and advances from directors to meet the majority of our cash requirements. From the date of inception on January 21, 2005 to March 31, 2009, we have generated $461,929 in revenue from the sale of our products. As at March 31, 2009, we had cash of $2,124 and negative working capital of $262,596. We expect to generate a moderate positive cash flow from operations in the next twelve month period. We estimate that we will require between $1,000,000 and $1,400,000 to carry out our business plan for the next twelve month period. We will, in all likelihood, continue to incur operating expenses without significant revenues until our products gain significant popularity. Since we are still in the early stages of operating our company and because of the lack of operating history, our independent auditors report and Note 1 to the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 state that these factors raise substantial doubt regarding our companys ability to continue as a going concern. Because we cannot anticipate when we will be able to generate significant revenues from sales, we will need to raise additional funds to develop our business plan, respond to competitive pressures, sign distribution agreements with distributors and respond to unanticipated requirements or expenses. If we are not able to generate significant revenues from the sale of our products, we will not be able to maintain our operations or achieve a profitable level of operations.
We will not be able to expand our operations beyond current levels without generating significant revenues from our current operations or obtaining further financing. We cannot assure that we will be able to generate enough interest in our products to ever become profitable. If we are unable to establish and generate material revenues, or obtain adequate future financing, our business will fail and you may lose some or all of your investment in our common stock.
We have only commenced our current business operations on January 1, 2006 and we have a limited operating history. If we cannot successfully manage the risks normally faced by start-up companies, we may not achieve profitable operations and ultimately our business may fail.
We have a limited operating history. From the date of inception on January 21, 2005 to the closing of the asset purchase agreement on January 1, 2006, our business operations consisted primarily seeking out prospective entities with which to enter into a merger or business combination. Since January 1, 2006, we have concentrated on our new business of selling drinking water products and water activation products to distributors for resale in our target markets of South America, Central America and the Caribbean. Our prospects are subject to the risks and expenses encountered by start up companies, such as uncertainties regarding our level of future revenues, our inability to budget expenses and manage growth accordingly, and our inability to access sources of financing when required and at rates favorable to us. Our limited operating history and the highly competitive nature of the drinking water and water activation industries make it difficult or impossible to predict future results of our operations. We may not establish a distribution network that will make us profitable, which may result in the loss of some or all of your investment in our common stock.
The fact that we have only generated limited revenues since our inception raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, as indicated in our independent auditors report in connection with our audited financial statements.
We have generated limited revenues since our inception on January 21, 2005. Since we are still in the early stages of operating our company and because of the lack of operating history, our independent auditors report includes an explanatory paragraph about our ability to continue as a going concern. We will, in all likelihood, continue to incur operating expenses without significant revenues until our products gain significant popularity. From January 21, 2005 to March 31, 2009, we raised $409,411 through advances provided by two of our directors. We estimate our average monthly operating expenses to be approximately $30,000 per month. We will not be able to expand our operations beyond current levels without generating significant revenues from our current operations or obtaining further financing. Our primary source of funds has been advances from two of our directors and officers. We cannot assure that we will be able to generate enough interest in our products. If we cannot attract a successful distribution
- 12 -
network, we will not be able to generate any significant revenues or income. In addition, if we are unable to establish and generate material revenues, or obtain adequate future financing, our business will fail and you may lose some or all of your investment in our common stock. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as described in an explanatory paragraph to our independent auditors report on the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
Our substantial debt could adversely affect our financial condition and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations to our creditors and cause us to go out of business.
As of March 31, 2009, we had total liabilities of $278,819, $223,108 of which was due to related parties. Our liabilities are substantial relative to our current assets, which were $16,223 as of March 31, 2009, and could adversely affect our financial condition and make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our creditors. If we are unable to pay our debts as they come due, we will be insolvent and investors will lose all of their investment in our company. Our substantial liabilities and lack of cash could also have other negative effects, including:
increase our vulnerability to adverse general economic conditions;
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our liabilities, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, investments, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes;
limit our ability to make required payments under our existing contractual commitments;
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; and,
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have fewer liabilities.
If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms and dates acceptable to us, we may not be able to expand or continue our operations and development and so may be forced to scale back or cease operations or discontinue our business.
We do not currently have any arrangements for financing and we can provide no assurance to investors we will be able to find such financing when such funding is required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including investor acceptance of our product selection and our business model. Furthermore, there is no assurance that we will not incur further debt in the future, that we will have sufficient funds to repay our future indebtedness, or that we will not default on our future debts, thereby jeopardizing our business viability. Finally, we may not be able to borrow or raise additional capital in the future to meet our needs or to otherwise provide the capital necessary to maintain our operations, which might result in the loss of some or all of your investment in our common stock.
Our company anticipates that the funds that were raised from private placements by way of subscription agreements and funds advanced from directors will not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve month period. Also, there is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates. We will need additional capital in the next month in order to continue our business plan.
We depend almost exclusively on outside capital to pay for the continued development of our business and the marketing of our products. Such outside capital may include the sale of additional stock, shareholder and director advances and/or commercial borrowing. There can be no assurance that capital will continue to be available if necessary to meet these continuing development costs or, if the capital is available, that it will be on terms acceptable to us. The issuance of additional equity securities by us will result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
- 13 -
If we are unable to obtain additional capital in the next month, then we will be unable to pursue our business plan and we will go out of business. If this happens, investors will lose their entire investment in our company.
Our company relies on three suppliers who supply our company with all of our products and as a result, we could be adversely affected by changes in the cost of the suppliers products, the financial condition of the suppliers or by the deterioration or termination of our relationship with the suppliers.
We sell drinking water treatment products and water activation products. Our two suppliers of drinking water products, VIQUA(formerly R-Can Environmental Inc.) of Guelph, Ontario, Canada, and Ozocan Corporation of Toronto, Ontario, Canada supplied our company with all of our drinking water treatment products that our company sold during the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. Similarly, our sole supplier of water activation products, ELCE International Corp., is the manufacturer and distributor of our water activation units. We order units from ELCE International which are then shipped to our warehouse facility for reshipment or directly to countries where our distributors are located. ELCE International supplied our company with all of our water activation products that our company sold during the year ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. Our three suppliers manufacture their respective products and develop the technologies within such products. In addition, these suppliers also supply similar products from other manufacturers. As of May 2005, VIQUA(formerly R-Can Environmental Inc.) supplied our company with products from some components from outside suppliers but all VIQUA products are assembled and shipped from their Guelph, Ontario, Canada manufacturing facility. A significant decline in our suppliers financial condition, a material rise in the cost of their prices or a reduction in the number of products currently available could adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, if our existing relationship with VIQUA(formerly R-Can Environmental Inc.), Ozocan Corporation or ELCE International Corp. deteriorates or is terminated in the future, and we are not successful in establishing a relationship with an alternative supplier at prices and products currently offered by such suppliers, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
All of our directors and officers are engaged in other business activities and accordingly may not devote sufficient time to our business affairs, which may affect our ability to conduct operations and generate revenues.
Although all three of our directors and officers are involved in other business activities, as a development stage company, we are able to manage the current level of business with our three officers, our relationship with eleven local distributors and the technical assistance of our three product suppliers, VIQUA(formerly R-Can Environmental), Ozocan Corporation and ELCE International as well as local accounting and technical support services, our Latin American Director of Sales and our Southern Colombian sales agent. At present, Max Weissengruber, our President and director, spends approximately 30 hours per week, or 80%, of his business time on the management of our company. D. Brian Robertson, our Chief Financial Officer, Vice-President of Sales and director, spends approximately 35 hours per week, or 90%, of his business time on the management of our company and Douglas R. Robertson, our Secretary and director, spends approximately 4 hours per week, or 10 %, of his business time on the management of our company. As a result of their other business endeavors, Mr. Weissengruber, Mr. B. Robertson and Mr. D. Robertson may not be able to devote sufficient time to our business affairs, which may negatively affect our ability to conduct our ongoing operations and our ability to generate revenues. In addition, the management of our company may be periodically interrupted or delayed as a result of our directors and officers other business interests.
All of our assets and all of our directors and officers are outside the United States, with the result that it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or any of our directors or officers.
All of our assets are located outside the United States and we do not currently maintain a permanent place of business within the United States. In addition, all of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. Consequently, you may be effectively prevented from pursuing remedies under United States federal securities laws against them.

Risks Relating to our Business
Changes to the current or future government regulation of our products may add to our operating costs.
We may face unanticipated operating costs due to future government regulation of drinking water standards. We believe that we are not currently subject to direct regulation of our current and expected activities, other than regulations generally applicable to businesses. However, the issue of what constitutes pure drinking water as is currently defined leaves the claim of purity open to a broad spectrum of water providers. Laws and regulations may be introduced that affect drinking water standards and claims of purity or other characteristics of water being sold to consumers. Complying with new regulations could increase our operating costs. Furthermore, we may be subject to the laws of various jurisdictions where we actually conduct business. Although we rely on distributors who sell our products in our target markets, there is a risk that we may be deemed to be actively selling in jurisdictions that may impose regulations on the sale of our products. Under such circumstances, we could be subject to fines or penalties that could have a material adverse impact on our business and operations.
Sales and delivery of our products may be interrupted due to international political situations, natural disasters or other causes. Interruptions may cause us to lose customers and distributors and, accordingly, may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Most of our products are manufactured in Canada and Japan. Our target market includes Central and South America, which are subject to social, economic and political uncertainty. We are subject to the risk that the sale, payment and delivery of our products may be interrupted as a result of social, economic and political turmoil or by natural disasters such as earthquakes and fires. Any such interruptions may cause us to lose customers and distributors and, accordingly, may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Our industry is very competitive and we may not be able to achieve long term success. If this happens, we will go out of business.
Our products compete with a number of established brands and new products that target the same market as we do. We compete against major manufacturers of both traditional and new water treatment methods and technologies most with substantially greater marketing, cash, distribution, production, technical and other resources than our company has at present. In addition to competitors with comparable ultra violet technology, there are large, well established water treatment companies offering proven technologies such as chlorination, ozone, reverse osmosis and physical filtration methods. If we are unable to produce, market and distribute our products as well as our competitors or if customers do not find our products to be as good or better than others on the market, then we may never develop a client base or sell enough of our product to be profitable. If this happens, we will go out of business.
Risks Related to our Securities
Because our directors and officers control a large percentage of our common stock, such insiders have the ability to influence matters affecting our shareholders and other shareholders will likely have no effect on the decisions made by our company. This could result in our management making decisions that are in the best interest of themselves and not in the best interest of shareholders. Shareholders could lose some or all of the value of their investments in our common stock as a result.
Our directors and officers, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 75% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result, they have the ability to influence matters affecting our shareholders, including the election of our directors, the acquisition or disposition of our assets, and the future issuance of our shares. Because our officers and directors control such shares, investors may find it difficult to replace our management if they disagree with the way our business is being operated. Because the influence by these insiders could result in management making decisions that are in the best interest of those insiders and not in the best interest of the investors, you may lose some or all of the value of your investment in our common stock.
- 15 -
Because we do not have sufficient insurance to cover our business losses, we might have uninsured losses, increasing the possibility that you may lose your investment.
We may incur uninsured liabilities and losses as a result of the conduct of our business. We do not currently maintain any comprehensive liability or property insurance. Even if we obtain such insurance in the future, we may not carry sufficient insurance coverage to satisfy potential claims. We do not carry any business interruption insurance. Should uninsured losses occur, any purchasers of our common stock could lose their entire investment.
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile. The market price of our common stock may also fluctuate significantly in response to the following factors, most of which are beyond our control:
variations in our quarterly operating results;
changes in securities analysts estimates of our financial performance;
changes in general economic conditions and in the software industry;
changes in market valuations of similar companies;
announcements by us or our competitors of significant new products; and,
the loss of key management.
The equity markets have, on occasion, experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices for many companies securities and that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. Any such fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. As a result, stockholders may be unable to sell their shares, or may be forced to sell them at a loss.
Because we can issue additional common shares, purchasers of our common stock may incur immediate dilution and may experience further dilution.
We are authorized to issue up to 400,000,000 common shares, including 100,000,000 Series B common shares which have equal rights and preferences as our common shares. As of May14, 2009, there were 122,120,000 common shares issued and outstanding and no Series B common shares issued and outstanding. In addition, under our Joint Venture Agreement with ELCE International Corp. we have committed to issue 20,000,000 common shares over the next two years. Our board of directors has the authority to cause our company to issue additional shares of common stock without the consent of any of our shareholders. Consequently, our shareholders may experience more dilution in their ownership of our company in the future.
Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the Securities and Exchange Commissions penny stock regulations which may limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell our stock.
Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The term accredited investor refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customers account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the
- 16 -
customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customers confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the penny stock rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, FINRA rules require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customers financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Not Applicable.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (who is our principal executive officer) and our treasurer, chief financial officer, vice-president of sales (who is our principal financial and accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of March 31, 2009, the end of the three month period covered by this report, our management carried out an evaluation with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
