| PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS | SUBJECT TO COMPLETION | DATED FEBRUARY 9, 2021 |
IIOT-OXYS, INC.
44,500,000 Shares of Common Stock Being Offered by the Company in the Offering
This Prospectus relates to the sale of 44,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001, of IIOT-OXYS, Inc., a Nevada corporation (referred to herein as the “Company”), by the Company on a “best efforts” basis through its management to be sold at a fixed price to be determined upon effectiveness (the “Offering”). The total proceeds from the Offering will not be escrowed or segregated but will be available to the Company immediately. There is no minimum amount of shares of Common Stock required to be purchased, and, therefore, the total proceeds received by the Company might not be enough to sustain continued operations. No commission or other compensation related to the sale of the shares will be paid. For more information, see the sections titled “Plan of Distribution” and “Use of Proceeds” herein.
As of February 8, 2021, the Company had 147,319,703 shares of common stock in the public float and 161,961,108 shares of common stock outstanding. The 44,500,000 shares being registered represent approximately 30.2130.21% of the shares in the public float as of February 8, 2021. Assuming all of these shares are sold, the Company’s total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock will be 206,461,108, calculated on the total number of shares issued and outstanding at February 8, 2021 of 161,961,108. The total number of registered shares will then represent 21.55% of the issued and outstanding shares.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbol “ITOX.” As of February 2, 2021, the last reported sale price for our common stock was $0.0154 per share.

IIOT-OXYS, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and OXYS, were originally established for the purposes of designing, building, testing, and selling Edge Computing systems for the Industrial Internet. Both companies were, and presently are, early stage technology startups that are largely pre-revenue in their development phase. HereLab is also an early-stage technology development company. The Company received its first revenues in the last quarter of 2017 and has continued to realize revenues through 2020, and expects to realize revenue growth in 2021 due to its business development pipeline.
We develop hardware, software and algorithms that monitor, measure and predict conditions for energy, structural, agricultural and medical applications. We use domain-specific Artificial Intelligence to solve industrial and environmental challenges. Our engineered solutions focus on common sense approaches to machine learning, algorithm development and hardware and software products.
Our customers have issues and they need improvements. We design a system of hardware and software, assemble, install, monitor data and apply our algorithms to help provide the customer insights.
We use off the shelf components, with reconfigurable hardware architecture that adapts to a wide range of customer needs and applications. We use open source software tools, while still creating proprietary content for customers, thereby reducing software development time and cost. The software works with the hardware to collect data from the equipment or structure that is being monitored.
We focus on developing insights. We develop algorithms that help our customers create insights from vast data streams. The data collected is analyzed and reports are created for the customer. From these insights, the customer can act to improve their process, product or structure.
OUR SOLUTIONS ACHIEVE TWO OBJECTIVES
ADD VALUE
| · | We show clear path to improved asset reliability, machine uptime, machine utilization, energy consumption, and quality. |
| · | We provide advanced algorithms and insights as a service. |
| 1 |
RISK MINIMIZATION
| · | We use simple measurements requiring almost zero integration – minimally invasive. |
| · | We do not interfere with command and control of critical equipment. |
| · | We do not physically touch machine control networks – total isolation of networks. |
HOW WE DO IT
Our location in Cambridge, Massachusetts is ideal since market-leading Biotech, Medtech, and Pharma multinational firms have offices or R&D centers in Cambridge or the Greater Boston area, which gives us easier access to potential sales which, in turn, lowers out cost of sales. Additionally, we continue to add value to structural health monitoring and smart manufacturing customers as well. We, therefore, have a range of opportunities as we continue to expand our customer base.
Our goal is to help Biotech, Pharma, and Medical Device companies realize the next wave of performance, productivity, and quality gains for their organizations, and become Industry 4.0 compliant.
We have a unique value proposition in a fast-growing worldwide multi-billion USD market, and have positioned with strategic partners for accelerated growth. We are therefore well-poised for rapid growth in 2019 and beyond, as we execute our plans and quickly acquire additional customers.
WHAT MARKETS WE SERVE
SMART MANUFACTURING
We help our customers maintain machine uptime and maximize operational efficiency. We also enable then to do energy monitoring, predictive maintenance that anticipates problems before they happen, and improve part and process quality.
BIOTECH, PHARMACEUTICAL, AND MEDICAL DEVICES
We are on the operations side, not the patient-facing side. In this market vertical, our customers must provide high-quality products that must also pass rigorous review by governing bodies such as the FDA. Here again, we focus on machine uptime, operational efficiency, and predictive maintenance to avoid unplanned downtime.
SMART INFRASTRUCTURE
For bridges and other civil infrastructure, local, state and federal agencies have limited resources. We help our clients prioritize how to spend limited funds by addressing those fixes which need to be made first.
OUR UNIQUE VALUE PROPOSITION
EDGE COMPUTING AS A COMPLIMENT TO CLOUD COMPUTING
Within the Internet of Things (“IoT”) and Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”), most companies right now are adopting an approach which sends all sensor data to the cloud for processing. We specialize in edge computing, where the data processing is done locally right where the data is collected. We also have advanced cloud-based algorithms that implement various machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms.
| 2 |
ADVANCED ALGORITHMS
We have sought to differentiate from our competitors by developing advanced algorithms on our own and in collaboration with world-leading research institutions. These algorithms are an essential part of the edge computing strategy that convert raw data into actionable knowledge right where the data is collected without having to send the data to the cloud first.
RECONFIGURABLE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE
Instead of focusing on creating tools, we use open source tools to create proprietary content.
Company Information and History
We were incorporated in the State of New Jersey on October 1, 2003 under the name of Creative Beauty Supply of New Jersey Corporation and subsequently changed our name to Gotham Capital Holdings, Inc. on May 18, 2015. We commenced operations in the beauty supply industry as of January 1, 2004. On November 30, 2007, our Board of Directors approved a plan to dispose of our wholesale and retail beauty supply business. From January 1, 2009 until July 28, 2017, we had no operations and were a shell company.
On March 16, 2017, our Board of Directors adopted resolutions, which were approved by shareholders holding a majority of our outstanding shares, to change our name to “IIOT-OXYS, Inc.,” to authorize a change of domicile from New Jersey to Nevada, to authorize a 2017 Stock Awards Plan, and to approve the Securities Exchange Agreement (the “OXYS SEA”) between the Company and OXYS Corporation (“OXYS”), a Nevada corporation incorporated on August 4, 2016.
Under the terms of the OXYS SEA we acquired 100% of our issued voting shares of OXYS in exchange for 34,687,244 shares of our Common Stock. We also cancelled 1,500,000 outstanding shares of our Common Stock and changed our management to Mr. DiBiase who also served in management of OXYS. Also, one of our principal shareholders entered into a consulting agreement with OXYS to provide consulting services during the transition. The OXYS SEA was effective on July 28, 2017, and our name was changed to “IIOT-OXYS, Inc.” at that time. Effective October 26, 2017, our domicile was changed from New Jersey to Nevada.
On December 14, 2017, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “HereLab SEA”) with HereLab, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HereLab”), and HereLab’s two shareholders pursuant to which we would acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of HereLab in exchange for the issuance of 1,650,000 shares of our Common Stock, on a pro rata basis, to HereLab’s two shareholders. The closing of the transaction occurred on January 11, 2018 and HereLab became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
A new management team was put into place in 2018, which constitutes our current management team.
At the present time, we have two, wholly-owned subsidiaries which are OXYS Corporation and HereLab, Inc., through which our operations are conducted.
Our principal executive offices are located at 705 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, MA 02141. Our telephone number is (401) 307-3092. Our common stock is listed on the OTC Markets under the symbol “ITOX.”
Our internet website address is www.oxyscorp.com.
Employees
We currently have four employees, all on W2’s, including the CEO, COO and CTO. All employees are currently part time.

Risks Related to Our Business
A pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease in the markets in which we operate or that otherwise impacts our facilities or suppliers could adversely impact our business.
If a pandemic, epidemic, or outbreak of an infectious disease including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, or other public health crisis were to affect our markets or facilities, our business could be adversely affected. Consequences of the coronavirus outbreak are resulting in disruptions in or restrictions on our ability to travel. If such an infectious disease broke out at our office, facilities or work sites, our operations may be affected significantly, our productivity may be affected, our ability to complete projects in accordance with our contractual obligations may be affected, and we may incur increased labor and materials costs. If the customers with which we contract are affected by an outbreak of infectious disease, service work may be delayed or cancelled, and we may incur increased labor and materials costs. If our subcontractors with whom we work were affected by an outbreak of infectious disease, our labor supply may be affected and we may incur increased labor costs. In addition, we may experience difficulties with certain suppliers or with vendors in their supply chains, and our business could be affected if we become unable to procure essential equipment, supplies or services in adequate quantities and at acceptable prices. Further, infectious outbreak may cause disruption to the U.S. economy, or the local economies of the markets in which we operate, cause shortages of materials, increase costs associated with obtaining materials, affect job growth and consumer confidence, or cause economic changes that we cannot anticipate. Overall, the potential impact of a pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease with respect to our market or our facilities is difficult to predict and could adversely impact our business. In response to the COVID-19 situation, federal, state and local governments (or other governments or bodies) are considering placing, or have placed, restrictions on travel and conducting or operating business activities. At this time those restrictions are very fluid and evolving. We have been and will continue to be impacted by those restrictions. Given that the type, degree and length of such restrictions are not known at this time, we cannot predict the overall impact of such restrictions on us, our customers, our subcontractors and supply chain, others that we work with or the overall economic environment. As such, the impact these restrictions may have on our financial position, operating results and liquidity cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but the impact may be material. In addition, due to the speed with which the COVID-19 situation is developing and evolving, there is uncertainty around its ultimate impact on public health, business operations and the overall economy; therefore, the negative impact on our financial position, operating results and liquidity cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but the impact may be material.
Because of our continued losses, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.
Our financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019 were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern. Our significant cumulative losses from operations as of December 31, 2019, raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If the going-concern assumption were not appropriate for our financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of the assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used. Since December 31, 2019, we have continued to experience losses from operations. We have continued to fund operations primarily through the sale of equity securities. Nevertheless, we will require additional funding to complete much of our planned operations. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit (i.e. through partnerships such as our current partnership with Aingura) and/or obtain necessary additional funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities. Except for potential proceeds from the sale of equity in offerings by us and minimal revenues, we have no other source for additional funding. Our continued net operating losses and stockholders’ deficiency increase the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.
| 5 |
We have debt which is secured by all our assets. If there is an occurrence of an uncured event of default, the lenders can foreclose on all our assets, which would make any stock in the Company worthless.
We have entered into several secured loan transactions with investors (as disclosed herein), pursuant to which the outstanding debt was secured by all our assets. In the event we are unable to make payments, when due, on our secured debt, the lenders may foreclose on all our assets. In the event the lenders foreclose on our assets, any stock in the Company would have no value. Our ability to make payments on secured debt, when due, will depend upon our ability to make profit from operations and to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings. At the moment, we have no funding commitments that have not been previously disclosed, and we may not obtain any in the future.
Our future success is dependent upon the success of partnerships with other similarly-situated entities.
Effective March 18, 2020, we entered into the Collaboration Agreement with Aingura IIoT, S.L. (“Aingura”) pursuant to which Aingura appointed and authorized us to act as the sales network of Aingura’s services and products. Aingura delivers engineered, high-tech solutions by implementing Smart Factory Operational Architectures. The agreement has an initial term of one year from the execution date. Unless terminated prior, the agreement automatically renews for successive annual periods, unless either party notifies the other in writing of its express intention not to renew the agreement at least two months prior to the date of termination of the agreement. There are restrictive provisions in the agreement that may prevent us from pursuing other business opportunities during the term of the agreement. In addition, if we are unable to make sales under the agreement, we will not collect any sales commissions and our business could fail.
Most of our sales have historically come from a small number of customers and a reduction in demand or loss of one or more of our significant customers would adversely affect our business.
Historically, we have been dependent on a small number of direct customers for most of our business, revenue and results of operations. In the past, we had contracts with customers in the civil infrastructure sector, and the pharmaceutical sector. Our prior customers constituted a state government and a large pharmaceutical company. Historically, those customers generated all our revenue. We expect to continue to experience significant customer concentration in future periods.
This customer concentration increases the risk of quarterly fluctuations in our operating results and sensitivity to any material, adverse developments experienced by our significant customers. In the past, although our relationships with our major customers was good, we generally did not have long-term contracts with any of them, which is typical of our industry. In the future, the loss of, or any substantial reduction in sales to, any of our major direct or end customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our operating subsidiaries have limited operating history and have generated very limited revenues thus far.
The limited operating history of OXYS and HereLab in the IIoT field, makes evaluating our business and future prospects difficult. OXYS was incorporated on August 4, 2016 and HereLab was incorporated on February 27, 2017. We have not yet generated substantial income from OXYS or HereLab’s operations and we only anticipate doing so if we are able to successfully implement our business plan. To date, we have generated approximately $439,000 in sales from business operations, none of which was generated from HereLab in 2019 as we focused solely on OXYS during 2019 and 2020. We intend in the longer term to derive further revenues from partnerships, consulting services, product sales, and software licensing. Development of our services, products, and software will require significant investment prior to commercial introduction, and we may never be able to successfully develop or commercialize the services, products, or software in a material way.
| 6 |
We will require additional funding to develop and commercialize our services, products, and software. If we are unable to secure additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be forced to modify our current business plan or to curtail or cease our planned operations.
We anticipate incurring significant operating losses and using significant funds for product development and operating activities. Our existing cash resources are insufficient to finance even our immediate operations. Accordingly, we will need to secure additional sources of capital to develop our business and product candidates, as planned. We intend to seek substantial additional financing through public and/or private financing, which may include equity and/or debt financings, and through other arrangements, including collaborative arrangements. As part of such efforts, we may seek loans from certain of our executive officers, directors and/or current shareholders.
If we are unable to secure additional financing in the near term, we may be forced to:
| · | curtail or abandon our existing business plans; |
| · | default on any debt obligations; |
| · | file for bankruptcy; |
| · | seek to sell some or all our assets; and/or |
| · | cease our operations. |
If we are forced to take any of these steps our Common Stock may be worthless.
Any future financing may result in ownership dilution to our existing shareholders and may grant rights to investors more favorable than the rights currently held by our existing shareholders.
If we raise additional capital by issuing equity, equity-related or convertible securities, the economic, voting and other rights of our existing shareholders may be diluted, and those newly-issued securities may be issued at prices that are at a significant discount to current and/or then prevailing market prices. In addition, any such newly issued securities may have rights superior to those of our common stock. If we obtain additional capital through collaborative arrangements, we may be required to relinquish greater rights to our technologies or product candidates than we might otherwise have or become subject to restrictive covenants that may affect our business.
Uncertain global economic conditions could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Our operations and performance are sensitive to fluctuations in general economic conditions, both in the U.S. and globally. The ongoing uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic, volatile currency markets, the anticipated weakness in all sectors, alone or in combination, may continue to have a material adverse effect on our net sales and the financial results of our operations. In addition, we remain concerned about the geopolitical and fiscal instability in the Middle East and some emerging markets as well as the continued volatility of the equity markets. The upcoming U.S. election may also create additional domestic and global economic uncertainty. These factors could have a material adverse effect on the spending patterns of businesses including our current and potential customers which could have a material adverse effect on our net sales and our results of operations. Other factors that could adversely influence demand for our products include unemployment, labor and healthcare costs, access to credit, consumer and business confidence, and other macroeconomic factors that could have a negative impact on capital investment and spending behavior.
| 7 |
We are subject to various risks associated with international operations and foreign economies.
Our international sales are subject to inherent risks, including:
| · | global pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic; |
| · | fluctuations in foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar; |
| · | unexpected changes to currency policy or currency restrictions in foreign jurisdictions; |
| · | delays in collecting trade receivable balances from customers in developing economies; |
| · | unexpected changes in regulatory requirements; |
| · | difficulties and the high tax costs associated with the repatriation of earnings; |
| · | fluctuations in local economies; |
| · | disparate and changing employment laws in foreign jurisdictions; |
| · | difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations; |
| · | costs and risks of localizing products for foreign countries; |
| · | unexpected changes in regulatory requirements; |
| · | government actions throughout the world; |
| · | tariffs and other trade barriers; and |
| · | the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws. |
Moreover, there can be no assurance that our international sales will continue at existing levels or grow in accordance with our efforts to increase foreign market penetration.

In many foreign countries, particularly in those with developing economies, it is common to engage in business practices that are prohibited by U.S. regulations applicable to us such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Although we have policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with these laws, there can be no assurance that all of our employees, contractors and agents, including those based in or from countries where practices which violate such U.S. laws may be customary, will not take actions in violation of our policies. Any violation of foreign or U.S. laws by our employees, contractors or agents, even if such violation is prohibited by our policies, could have a material adverse effect on our business. We must also comply with various import and export regulations. The application of these various regulations depends on the classification of our products which can change over time as such regulations are modified or interpreted. As a result, even if we are currently in compliance with applicable regulations, there can be no assurance that we will not have to incur additional costs or take additional compliance actions in the future. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in fines or termination of import and export privileges, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. Additionally, the regulatory environment in some countries is very restrictive as their governments try to protect their local economy and value of their local currency against the U.S. dollar.
Any future product revenues are dependent on certain industries, and contractions in these industries could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Sales of our products are dependent on customers in certain industries. As we have experienced in the past, and as we may continue to experience in the future, downturns characterized by diminished product demand in any one or more of these industries may result in decreased sales and a material adverse effect on our operating results. We cannot predict when and to what degree contractions in these industries may occur; however, any sharp or prolonged contraction in one or more of these industries could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
We intend to make significant investments in new products that may not be successful or achieve expected returns.
We plan to continue to make significant investments in research, development, and marketing for new and existing products and technologies. These investments involve a number of risks as the commercial success of such efforts depend on many factors, including our ability to anticipate and respond to innovation, achieve the desired technological fit, and be effective with our marketing and distribution efforts. If our existing or potential customers do not perceive our latest product offerings as providing significant new functionality or value, or if we are late to market with a new product or technology, we may not achieve our expected return on our investments or be able recover the costs expended to develop new product offerings, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. Even if our new products are profitable, our operating margins for new products may not be as high as the margins we have experienced historically.
Our success depends on new product introductions and market acceptance of our products.
The market for our products is characterized by technological change, evolving industry standards, changes in customer needs and frequent new product introductions, and is therefore highly dependent upon timely product innovation. Our success is dependent on our ability to successfully develop and introduce new and enhanced products on a timely basis to replace declining revenues from older products, and on increasing penetration in domestic and international markets. Any significant delay in releasing new products could have a material adverse effect on the ultimate success of a product and other related products and could impede continued sales of predecessor products, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. There can be no assurance that we will be able to introduce new products, that our new products will achieve market acceptance or that any such acceptance will be sustained for any significant period. Failure of our new products to achieve or sustain market acceptance could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

Our reported financial results may be adversely affected by changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. These accounting principles are subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission. A change in these policies or interpretations could have a significant effect on our reported financial results, may retroactively affect previously reported results, could cause unexpected financial reporting fluctuations, and may require us to make costly changes to our operational processes and accounting systems.
We operate in intensely competitive markets.
The markets in which we operate are characterized by intense competition from numerous competitors, some of which are divisions of large corporations having far greater resources than we have, and we may face further competition from new market entrants in the future. Some examples of large and small competitors include, but are not limited to:
| · | General Electric with its GE Predix product for IoT; |
| · | IBM with its IBM BlueMix and IBM IoT Watson products; |
| · | Siemens with its MindSphere IoT product; |
| · | Microsoft with its Microsoft Azure IoT Suite; |
| · | FogHorn Systems; |
| · | Tulip.io; and |
| · | Uptake. |
Our financial results are subject to fluctuations due to various factors that may adversely affect our business and result of operations.
Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future due to several factors, including:
| · | global pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic; |
| · | fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; |
| · | changes in global economic conditions; |
| · | changes in the mix of products sold; |
| · | the availability and pricing of components from third parties (especially limited sources); |
| · | the difficulty in maintaining margins, including the higher margins traditionally achieved in international sales; |
| 10 |
| · | changes in pricing policies by us, our competitors or suppliers; |
| · | the timing, cost or outcome of any future intellectual property litigation or commercial disputes; |
| · | delays in product shipments caused by human error or other factors; or |
| · | disruptions in transportation channels. |
Any future acquisitions made by us will be subject to several related costs and challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
We plan to make more acquisitions in the future. Achieving the anticipated benefits of an acquisition depends upon whether the integration of the acquired business, products or technology is accomplished efficiently and effectively. In addition, successful acquisitions generally require, among other things, integration of product offerings, manufacturing operations and coordination of sales and marketing and R&D efforts. These difficulties can become more challenging due to the need to coordinate geographically separated organizations, the complexities of the technologies being integrated, and the necessities of integrating personnel with disparate business backgrounds and combining different corporate cultures. The integration of operations following an acquisition also requires the dedication of management resources, which may distract attention from our day-to-day business and may disrupt key R&D, marketing or sales efforts. Our inability to successfully integrate any of our acquisitions could harm our business. The existing products previously sold by entities we have acquired may be of a lesser quality than our products or could contain errors that produce incorrect results on which users rely or cause failure or interruption of systems or processes that could subject us to liability claims that could have a material adverse effect on our operating results or financial position. Furthermore, products acquired in connection with acquisitions may not gain acceptance in our markets, and we may not achieve the anticipated or desired benefits of such transactions.
We may experience component shortages that may adversely affect our business and result of operations.
We have experienced difficulty in securing certain types of high-power connectors for one of our projects and anticipate that supply shortages of components used in our products, including limited source components, can result in significant additional costs and inefficiencies in manufacturing. If we are unsuccessful in resolving any such component shortages in a timely manner, we will experience a significant impact on the timing of revenue, a possible loss of revenue, or an increase in manufacturing costs, any of which would have a material adverse impact on our operating results.
We rely on management information systems. interruptions in our information technology systems or cyber-attacks on our systems could adversely affect our business.
We rely on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of complex information technology systems and networks to operate our business. We rely on a primary global center for our management information systems and on multiple systems in branches not covered by our global center. As with any information system, unforeseen issues may arise that could affect our ability to receive adequate, accurate and timely financial information, which in turn could inhibit effective and timely decisions. Furthermore, it is possible that our global center for information systems or our branch operations could experience a complete or partial shutdown. A significant system or network disruption could be the result of new system implementations, computer viruses, cyber-attacks, security breaches, facility issues or energy blackouts. Threats to our information technology security can take a variety of forms and individuals or groups of hackers or sophisticated organizations including state-sponsored organizations, may take steps that pose threats to our customers and our infrastructure. If we were to experience a shutdown, disruption or attack, it would adversely impact our product shipments and net sales, as order processing and product distribution are heavily dependent on our management information systems. Such an interruption could also result in a loss of our intellectual property or the release of sensitive competitive information or partner, customer or employee personal data. Any loss of such information could harm our competitive position, result in a loss of customer confidence, and cause us to incur significant costs to remedy the damages caused by the disruptions or security breaches. In addition, changing laws and regulations governing our responsibility to safeguard private data could result in a significant increase in operating or capital expenditures needed to comply with these new laws or regulations. Accordingly, our operating results in such periods would be adversely impacted.

We are continually working to maintain reliable systems to control costs and improve our ability to deliver our products in our markets worldwide. Our efforts include, but are not limited to the following: firewalls, antivirus protection, patches, log monitors, routine backups with offsite retention of storage media, system audits, data partitioning and routine password modifications. Our internal information technology systems environment continues to evolve and our business policies and internal security controls may not keep pace as new threats emerge. No assurance can be given that our efforts to continue to enhance our systems will be successful.
We are subject to risks associated with our website.
We devote resources to maintaining our website, www.oxyscorp.com, as a key marketing, sales and support tool and expect to continue to do so in the future. Failure to properly maintain our website may interrupt normal operations, including our ability to run and market our business which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We host our website internally. Any failure to successfully maintain our website or any significant downtime or outages affecting our website could have a material adverse impact on our operating results.
Our products are complex and may contain bugs or errors.
As has occurred in the past and as may be expected to occur in the future, our new software products or new operating systems of third parties on which our products are based often contain bugs or errors that can result in reduced sales or cause our support costs to increase, either of which could have a material adverse impact on our operating results.
Compliance with sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is costly and challenging.
As required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our periodic reports contain our management’s certification of adequate disclosure controls and procedures, a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting including an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, and an attestation and report by our external auditors with respect to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404. While these assessments and reports have not revealed any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, compliance with Sections 302 and 404 is required for each future fiscal year end. We expect that the ongoing compliance with Sections 302 and 404 will continue to be both very costly and very challenging and there can be no assurance that material weaknesses will not be identified in future periods. Any adverse results from such ongoing compliance efforts could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and have an adverse effect on our stock price.
Our business depends on our proprietary rights and we have been subject to intellectual property litigation.
Our success depends on our ability to obtain and maintain patents and other proprietary rights relative to the technologies used in our principal products. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may have in the past infringed or violated certain of our intellectual property rights. We from time to time may engage in litigation to protect our intellectual property rights. In monitoring and policing our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources. We from time to time may be notified that we are infringing certain patent or intellectual property rights of others. There can be no assurance that any future intellectual property dispute or litigation will not result in significant expense, liability, injunction against the sale of some of our products, and a diversion of management’s attention, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
| 12 |
We are subject to the risk of product liability claims.
Our products are designed to provide information upon which users may rely. Our products are also used in “real time” applications requiring extremely rapid and continuous processing and constant feedback. Such applications give rise to the risk that a failure or interruption of the system or application could result in economic damage, bodily harm or property damage. We attempt to assure the quality and accuracy of the processes contained in our products, and to limit our product liability exposure through contractual limitations on liability, limited warranties, express disclaimers and warnings as well as disclaimers contained in our “shrink wrap” and electronically displayed license agreements with end-users. If our products contain errors that produce incorrect results on which users rely or cause failure or interruption of systems or processes, customer acceptance of our products could be adversely affected. Further, we could be subject to liability claims that could have a material adverse effect on our operating results or financial position. Although we maintain liability insurance for product liability matters, there can be no assurance that such insurance or the contractual limitations used by us to limit our liability will be sufficient to cover or limit any claims which may occur.
Each of our current product candidates and services is in an early stage of development and we may never succeed in developing and/or commercializing them. If we are unable to commercialize our services, products, or software, or if we experience significant delays in doing so, our business may fail.
We intend to invest a significant portion of our efforts and financial resources in our software and we will depend heavily on its success. This software is currently in the beta stage of development. We need to devote significant additional research and development, financial resources and personnel to develop additional commercially viable products, establish intellectual property rights, if necessary, and establish a sales and marketing infrastructure. We are likely to encounter hurdles and unexpected issues as we proceed in the development of our software and our other product candidates. There are many reasons that we may not succeed in our efforts to develop our product candidates, including the possibility that our product candidates will be deemed undesirable; our product candidates will be too expensive to develop or market or will not achieve broad market acceptance; others will hold proprietary rights that will prevent us from marketing our product candidates; or our competitors will market products that are perceived as equivalent or superior.
We depend on third parties to assist us in the development of our software and other product candidates, and any failure of those parties to fulfill their obligations could result in costs and delays and prevent us from successfully commercializing our software and product candidates on a timely basis, if at all.
We may engage consultants and other third parties to help our software and product candidates. We may face delays in our commercialization efforts if these parties do not perform their obligations in a timely or competent fashion or if we are forced to change service providers. Any third parties that we hire may also provide services to our competitors, which could compromise the performance of their obligations to us. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their duties or meet expected deadlines, the commercialization of our software and product candidates may be extended, delayed or terminated or may otherwise prove to be unsuccessful. Any delays or failures as a result of the failure to perform by third parties would cause our development costs to increase, and we may not be able to commercialize our product candidates. In addition, we may not be able to establish or maintain relationships with these third parties on favorable terms, if at all. If we need to enter into replacement arrangements because a third party is not performing in accordance with our expectations, we may not be able to do so without undue delays or considerable expenditures or at all.
The loss of or inability to retain key personnel could materially adversely affect our operations.
Our management includes a select group of experienced technology professionals, particularly Clifford Emmons, Karen McNemar, and Antony Coufal, who will be instrumental in the development of our software and product candidates. The success of our operations will, in part, depend on the successful continued involvement of these individuals. If these individuals leave the employment of or engagement with us, OXYS, or HereLab, then our ability to operate will be negatively impacted. Although we have consulting agreements with these individuals, we do not have any employment agreements with these parties and do not maintain any “key-man” insurance for them.

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property
Patents acquired by us may not be valid or enforceable and may be challenged by third parties.
We do not intend to seek a legal opinion or other independent verification that any patents issued or licensed to us would be held valid by a court or administrative body or that we would be able to successfully enforce our patents against infringers, including our competitors. The issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its validity or enforceability, and the validity and enforceability of a patent is susceptible to challenge on numerous legal grounds. Challenges raised in patent infringement litigation brought by or against us may result in determinations that patents that have been issued or licensed to us or any patents that may be issued to us or our licensors in the future are invalid, unenforceable or otherwise subject to limitations. In the event of any such determinations, third parties may be able to use the discoveries or technologies claimed in these patents without paying licensing fees or royalties to us, which could significantly diminish the value of our intellectual property and our competitive advantage. Even if our patents are held to be enforceable, others may be able to design around our patents or develop products similar to our products that are not within the scope of any of our patents.
In addition, enforcing any patents that may be issued to us in the future against third parties may require significant expenditures regardless of the outcome of such efforts. Our inability to enforce our patents against infringers and competitors may impair our ability to be competitive and could have a material adverse effect on our business.
If we are not able to protect and control our unpatented trade secrets, know-how and other technological innovation, we may suffer competitive harm.
We rely on unpatented technology, trade secrets, confidential information and proprietary know-how to protect our technology and maintain any future competitive position, especially when we do not believe that patent protection is appropriate or can be obtained. Trade secrets are difficult to protect. In order to protect proprietary technology and processes, we rely in part on confidentiality and intellectual property assignment agreements with our employees, consultants and others. These agreements generally provide that the individual must keep confidential and not disclose to other parties any confidential information developed or learned by the individual during the course of the individual’s relationship with us except in limited circumstances. These agreements generally also provide that we shall own all inventions conceived by the individual in the course of rendering services to us. These agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of confidential information or result in the effective assignment to us of intellectual property and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of confidential information or other breaches of the agreements. In addition, others may independently discover trade secrets and proprietary information that have been licensed to us or that we own, and in such case, we could not assert any trade secret rights against such party.
Enforcing a claim that a party illegally obtained and is using trade secrets that have been licensed to us or that we own is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States may be less willing to protect trade secrets. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to seek to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could have a material adverse effect on our business. Moreover, some of our academic institution licensors, collaborators and scientific advisors have rights to publish data and information to which we have rights. If we cannot maintain the confidentiality of our technologies and other confidential information in connection with our collaborations, our ability to protect our proprietary information or obtain patent protection in the future may be impaired, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock
The public trading market for our common stock is volatile and will likely result in higher spreads in stock prices.
Our common stock is trading in the over-the-counter market and is quoted on the OTC Pink. The over-the-counter market for securities has historically experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations during certain periods. These broad market fluctuations and other factors, such as our ability to implement our business plan, as well as economic conditions and quarterly variations in our results of operations, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, the spreads on stock traded through the over-the-counter market are generally unregulated and higher than on stock exchanges, which means that the difference between the price at which shares could be purchased by investors on the over-the-counter market compared to the price at which they could be subsequently sold would be greater than on these exchanges. Significant spreads between the bid and asked prices of the stock could continue during any period in which a sufficient volume of trading is unavailable or if the stock is quoted by an insignificant number of market makers. We cannot ensure that our trading volume will be sufficient to significantly reduce this spread, or that we will have sufficient market makers to affect this spread. These higher spreads could adversely affect investors who purchase the shares at the higher price at which the shares are sold, but subsequently sell the shares at the lower bid prices quoted by the brokers. Unless the bid price for the stock increases and exceeds the price paid for the shares by the investor, plus brokerage commissions or charges, shareholders could lose money on the sale. For higher spreads such as those on over-the-counter stocks, this is likely a much greater percentage of the price of the stock than for exchange listed stocks. There is no assurance that at the time the shareholder wishes to sell the shares, the bid price will have sufficiently increased to create a profit on the sale.
Because our shares are designated as “penny stock”, broker-dealers will be less likely to trade in our stock due to, among other items, the requirements for broker-dealers to disclose to investors the risks inherent in penny stocks and to make a determination that the investment is suitable for the purchaser.
Our shares are designated as “penny stock” as defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and thus may be more illiquid than shares not designated as penny stock. The SEC has adopted rules which regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks are defined generally as: non-Nasdaq equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share; not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; or in issuers with net tangible assets less than $2,000,000, if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years, or $10,000,000, if in continuous operation for less than three years, or with average revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the last three years. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, to 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, monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account, to make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a stock that is subject to the penny stock rules. Since our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors in the shares may find it more difficult to sell their shares. Many brokers have decided not to trade in penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. The reduction in the number of available market makers and other broker-dealers willing to trade in penny stocks may limit the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their stock in any secondary market. These penny stock regulations, and the restrictions imposed on the resale of penny stocks by these regulations, could adversely affect our stock price.

Our Board of Directors can, without shareholder approval, cause preferred stock to be issued on terms that adversely affect common shareholders.
Under our Articles of Incorporation, our board of directors is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 26,000 are issued and outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus. Also, our board of directors, without shareholder approval, may determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares. If our board of directors causes any additional shares of preferred stock to be issued, the rights of the holders of our common stock could be adversely affected. Our board of directors’ ability to determine the terms of preferred stock and to cause its issuance, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock. Additional preferred shares issued by our board of directors could include voting rights, or even additional super voting rights (above those pertaining to the Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock), which could shift the ability to control our company to the holders of our preferred stock. Additional preferred shares could also have conversion rights into shares of our common stock at a discount to the market price of the common stock which could negatively affect the market for our common stock. In addition, preferred shares would have preference in the event of our liquidation, which means that the holders of preferred shares would be entitled to receive the net assets of our company distributed in liquidation before the common stock holders receive any distribution of the liquidated assets.
We have not paid, and do not intend to pay in the near future, dividends on our common shares and therefore, unless our common stock appreciates in value, our shareholders may not benefit from holding our common stock.
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since inception. Therefore, any return on the investment made in our shares of common stock will likely be dependent initially upon the shareholder’s ability to sell our common shares in the open market, at prices in excess of the amount paid for our common shares and broker commissions on the sales.
Because we became public by means of a reverse merger, we may not be able to attract the attention of brokerage firms.
Additional risks may exist because we became public through a “reverse merger.” Securities analysts of brokerage firms may not provide coverage of our company since there is little incentive for brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will want to conduct secondary offerings on our behalf in the future.
Shares of our common stock that have not been registered under federal securities laws are subject to resale restrictions imposed by Rule 144, including those set forth in Rule 144(i) which apply to a former “shell company.”
Prior to the closing of the SEA, we were deemed a “shell company” under applicable SEC rules and regulations because we had no or nominal operations and either no or nominal assets, assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents, or assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. Pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act sales of the securities of a former shell company, such as us, under that rule are not permitted (i) until at least 12 months have elapsed from the date on which Form 10-type information reflecting our status as a non-shell company, is filed with the SEC and (ii) unless at the time of a proposed sale, we are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and have filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months, other than Form 8-K reports. Without registration under the Securities Act, our shareholders will be forced to hold their shares of our common stock for at least that 12-month period after the filing of the report on Form 8-K following the closing of the reverse merger before they are eligible to sell those shares pursuant to Rule 144, and even after that 12-month period, sales may not be made under Rule 144 unless we are in compliance with other requirements of Rule 144. Further, it will be more difficult for us to raise funding to support our operations through the sale of debt or equity securities unless we agree to register such securities under the Securities Act, which could cause us to expend significant time and cash resources. The lack of liquidity of our securities as a result of the inability to sell under Rule 144 for a longer period of time than a non-former shell company could negatively affect the market price of our securities.
| 16 |
We are an “emerging growth company,” and will be able take advantage of reduced disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth companies,” which could make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act, and, for as long as we continue to be an “emerging growth company,” we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to “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, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive if we choose to rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result of any choices to reduce future disclosure, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
Risks Related to the Offering
Our existing stockholders may experience significant dilution from the sale of our common stock.
The sale of our common stock in this Offering may have a dilutive impact on our shareholders. As a result, the market price of our common stock could decline. If our stock price decreases, then our existing shareholders would experience greater dilution for any given dollar amount raised through the Offering.
The perceived risk of dilution may cause our stockholders to sell their shares, which may cause a decline in the price of our common stock. Moreover, the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our stock price could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our common stock. By increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in our common stock.
There could be unidentified risks involved with an investment in our securities.
The foregoing risk factors are not a complete list or explanation of the risks involved with an investment in the securities. Additional risks will likely be experienced that are not presently foreseen by us. Prospective investors must not construe this the information provided herein as constituting investment, legal, tax or other professional advice. Before making any decision to invest in our securities, you should read this entire Prospectus and consult with your own investment, legal, tax and other professional advisors. An investment in our securities is suitable only for investors who can assume the financial risks of an investment in us for an indefinite period of time and who can afford to lose their entire investment. We make no representations or warranties of any kind with respect to the likelihood of the success or the business of our Company, the value of our securities, any financial returns that may be generated or any tax benefits or consequences that may result from an investment in us.

This Prospectus relates to the sale of 44,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001, of the Company at a fixed price to be determined upon effectiveness. This Offering will terminate 24 months after commencement. We are offering the shares on a self-underwritten “best efforts” basis directly through our management. There is no minimum amount of shares required to be purchased, and the total proceeds received by us might not be enough to continue. No commissions or other compensation related to the sale of the shares will be paid. For more information, see the section titled “Plan of Distribution” and “Use of Proceeds” herein.
We estimate the net proceeds to us from this Offering will be approximately $435,000, based on an assumed initial offering price of $0.01 per share, after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us.
| 19 |
We anticipate that the net proceeds of the Offering will be used primarily to execute our business plan as follows: $250,000 for acquisitions, $150,000 for general working capital, and $35,000 remaining in cash reserves. Additionally, proceeds will be used for paying other general and administrative expenses associated with this offering, and paying general and administrative expenses associated with being a public company, such as accounting, auditing, transfer agent, EDGAR filing, and legal expenses. In the event that we sell less than the maximum shares offered in the Offering, our first priority is to pay fees associated with registration of our stock and general working capital. The following table summarizes how we anticipate using the gross proceeds of the Offering, depending upon whether we sell 100%, 75%, 50%, or 25% of the shares being offered in the Offering:
| Shares Sold | If 25% of | If 50% of | If 75% of | If 100% | ||||||||||||
| Gross Proceeds | $ | 111,250 | $ | 222,500 | $ | 333,750 | $ | 445,000 | ||||||||
| Expected offering expenses | 10,000 | 10,000 | 10,000 | 10,000 | ||||||||||||
| Net Proceeds | 101,250 | 212,500 | 323,750 | 435,000 | ||||||||||||
| Potential Acquisition(s) | 0 | 0 | 250,000 | 250,000 | ||||||||||||
| General Working Capital | 101,250 | 212,500 | 73,750 | 185,000 | ||||||||||||
| Total | $ | 101,250 | $ | 212,500 | $ | 323,750 | $ | 435,000 | ||||||||
The Company anticipates that the estimated $445,000 gross proceeds from the offering would enable it to expand operations, make strategic acquisitions, and fund its other capital needs for the next fiscal year. In the event that the offering is not completed, the Company will likely be required to seek additional financing as the Company needs a minimum of approximately $250,000 in gross proceeds to implement its business plan and support its operations over the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed, and, if available, that it will be on terms acceptable to the Company.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The shares for sale by the Company in the Offering of 44,500,000 shares will be sold at a fixed price to be determined at effectiveness.

IIOT-OXYS, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2020
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The Company was only recently formed and is currently devoting substantially all its efforts in identifying, developing and marketing engineered products, software and services for applications in the Industrial Internet which involves collecting and processing data collected from a wide variety of industrial systems and machines.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company's financial statements are prepared on the accrual method of accounting. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements for September 30, 2020 and 2019 include the accounts of IIOT-OXYS, Inc., OXYS Corporation, and HereLab, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue is derived primarily from providing services under contractual agreements. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) which was adopted on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method, which was elected to apply to all active contracts as of the adoption date. Application of the modified retrospective method did not impact amounts previously reported by the Company, nor did it require a cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption, as the Company's method of recognizing revenue under ASC 606 yielded similar results to the method utilized immediately prior to adoption. Accordingly, there was no effect to each financial statement line item as a result of applying the new revenue standard.
| F-6 |
According to ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue based on the following criteria:
| · | Identification of a contract or contracts, with a customer. | |
| · | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract. | |
| · | Determination of contract price. | |
| · | Allocation of transaction price to the performance obligation. | |
| · | Recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligation is satisfied. |
The Company used a practical expedient available under ASC 606-10-65-1(f)4 that permits it to consider the aggregate effect of all contract modifications that occurred before the beginning of the earliest period presented when identifying satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations.
The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling activities as cost of sales. Additionally, the Company has elected to record revenue net of sales and other similar taxes.
Use of Estimates
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company was only recently formed, has incurred continuing operating losses, and has an accumulated deficit of $6,747,908 and $5,040,307 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that the Company will be able to achieve a satisfactory level of liquidity to meet the Company’s obligations for the next 12 months by generating cash through additional borrowings and/or issuances of equity securities, as needed. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient liquidity to maintain its operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Concentration of Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents which are generally not collateralized. The Company’s policy is to place its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions, in order to limit the amount of credit exposure. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), up to $250,000. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company had no amounts in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.
| F-7 |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Trade accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying potential troubled accounts and by using historical experience and future expectations applied to an aging of accounts. Trade accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments is determined in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company regularly reviews the carrying value and estimated lives of its long-lived assets to determine whether indicators of impairment may exist that warrant adjustments to the carrying value or estimated useful lives. The determinants used for this evaluation include management’s estimate of the asset’s ability to generate positive income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods as well as the strategic significance of the assets to the Company’s business objectives.
Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated periods benefited and are reviewed when appropriate for possible impairment.
Convertible Debt
Convertible debt is accounted for under FASB ASC 470-20, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share
The Company computes basic and diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders for the period under ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB and do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In prior years, the Company entered into consulting agreements with one director, three executive officers, and one engineer of the Company which include commitments to issue shares of the Company’s common stock from the Company’s Stock Incentive Plans. Two agreements have been terminated and shares have been issued in conjunction with the related separation agreements, but the vested shares related to the remaining consulting agreements with the three executive officers have not yet been issued and, therefore, remain a liability. According to the remaining three agreements, 1,269,000 shares vested in 2019, 1,600,000 shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, 800,000 will vest in the remainder of 2020, and 3,600,000 shares of common stock will vest in 2021.
In the event that the agreement is terminated by either party pursuant to the terms of the agreement, all unvested shares which have been earned shall vest on a pro-rata basis as of the effective date of the termination of the agreement and all unearned, unvested shares shall be terminated.

The total fair value of shares recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $545,673 and $370,380, respectively.
On March 6, 2020, six months from receipt of the first tranche of $35,000 under the Convertible Promissory Note issued on August 29, 2019, the Company failed to pay the accrued and unpaid interest, which is considered an “Event of Default” under the note. As a result, the conversion price became a “Variable Conversion Price.” Also, as a result of the occurrence of the “Event of Default,” all amounts owing under the note became immediately due and payable and the Company became obligated to pay to the holder 175% of the then outstanding balance of the note and all unpaid principal and unpaid interest accrued interest at 15%. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, there were no conversions of the note. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the holder of the note had converted $35,000 of principal, $1,636 of interest, plus fees of $16,000 into 50,950,000 shares of Common Stock amounting to $52,636.

6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

| Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted | $ | (0.02 | ) | $ | (0.04 | ) | ||
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding for the period. Common stock equivalents are only included when their effect is dilutive. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities which include stock options, convertible debt, convertible preferred stock and common stock warrants have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as they would be anti-dilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to compute basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.
The following outstanding common stock equivalents have been excluded from diluted net loss per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:
| As of September 30, | ||||||||

On January 18, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a non-public offering of up to $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 12% Senior Secured Convertible Notes. The notes are convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock, at any time at a rate of $0.65 per share with fractions rounded up to the nearest whole share, unless paid in cash at the Company’s election. The notes bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum and interest payments will be made on a quarterly basis. The notes mature January 15, 2020.
The notes are governed by a Securities Purchase Agreement and are secured by all the assets of the Company pursuant to a Security and Pledge Agreement. In addition to the issuance of the notes in the offering, the Company’s Board of Directors approved, as part of the offering, the issuance of warrants to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock for 50% of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of each note. Each warrant is immediately exercisable at $0.75 per share, contains certain anti-dilution down-round features and expires on January 15, 2023. If the Company ever defaults on the loan the warrants to be issued will increase from 50% of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion to 100%.
On January 22, 2018, the Company entered into a SPA and Security and Pledge Agreement with its first investor in the offering and issued a note to the investor in the principal amount of $500,000. Subscription funds were received by the Company from the investor on February 7, 2018. In addition to the note, the Company issued to the investor 384,615 warrants. The warrants are considered equity instruments based on the Company’s adoption of ASU 2017-11.
The proceeds received upon issuing the note and warrants were allocated to each instrument on a relative fair value basis. The initial fair value of the warrants was $838,404 determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected term of 2.5 years; risk free interest rate of 2.1%; and volatility of 142%. The effective conversion rate resulted in a Beneficial Conversion Feature greater than the proceeds received. Thus, the discount was limited to the proceeds received of $500,000 and was amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the note.
On March 7, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved Amendment No. 1 to the 12% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note and the Warrant Agreement, each issued January 22, 2018, respectively, to the note holder. The amendments (i) extend the maturity date of the note to March 1, 2021 and extend the term of the warrants to March 6, 2024, (ii) lower the conversion price of the note and the exercise price of the warrants to $0.20 and $0.30, respectively, and (iii) add an adjustment to the conversion and exercise price of the note and warrants, respectively, in the event the Company does not achieve certain milestones during calendar 2019. The fair value of the warrants is $25,162 determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected term of 2.5 years; risk free interest rate of 2.6%; and volatility of 127%. The effective conversion rate resulted in a discount of $23,956 and is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the note. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $221,232 related to the decrease in conversion price.
On January 1, 2020, the Company failed to achieve certain milestones during calendar 2019 and, as such, the conversion/exercise prices of the note and warrants were adjusted to $0.10 and $0.15, respectively. This resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings of $201 based on the change in fair value.
Effective January 15, 2020, the Company went into technical default of the note agreement as a result of not making the December 31, 2019 interest payment within the required period. As a result, the principal was increased by 20%, or $100,000, and the Company was required to issue an additional 384,615 warrants at the then effective exercise price of $0.15 per share. The fair value of the warrants was $44,297, determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected term of 4.14 years; risk free interest rate of 1.6%; and volatility of 243%. Due to the default, this value was immediately expensed.

As of March 31, 2020, the exercise price of the warrants was further adjusted to $0.00084 as a result of the down-round features being triggered. This resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings of $71 based on the change in fair value.
As of September 30, 2020, the Company has accrued interest related to this note of $67,676. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company also amortized to interest expense $3,032 and $9,029 of the discount, respectively.

On January 22, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and Security and Pledge Agreement with a single investor and issued a Secured Convertible Promissory Note to the investor in the principal amount of $55,000. In addition to the note, the Company issued to the investor 36,667 warrants. Each warrant is immediately exercisable at $0.75 per share, contains certain anti-dilution down-round features and expires on January 22, 2024. If the Company ever defaults on the loan, the warrants to be issued will increase from 50% of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion to 100%. The warrants are considered equity instruments based on the Company’s adoption of ASU 2017-11.
The proceeds received upon issuing the note and warrants were allocated to each instrument on a relative fair value basis. The initial fair value of the warrants was $3,217 determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected term of 2.5 years; risk free interest rate of 2.6%; and volatility of 128%. The effective conversion rate resulted in a discount of $3,039 and is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the note.
As of March 31, 2020, the exercise price of the warrants was adjusted to $0.00084 as a result of the down-round features being triggered. This resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings of $7 based on the change in fair value.
The unpaid principal balance of the note and accrued interest is $55,000 and $4,648, respectively, as of September 30, 2020, and the remaining unamortized discount is $0.

On June 12, 2020, this note was amended to extend the maturity date to January 22, 2021, and all events of default were waived.
On March 7, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a non-public offering of up to $500,000 aggregate principal amount of its 12% Senior Secured Convertible Notes. The notes are convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock, at any time at a rate of $0.20 per share with fractions rounded up to the nearest whole share, unless paid in cash at the Company’s election. The notes bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum and interest payments will be made on a quarterly basis. The notes mature March 1, 2021. The conversion price of the notes is also subject to adjustments if the Company does not achieve certain milestones during the calendar year 2019.
The notes are governed by a Securities Purchase Agreement and are secured by all the assets of the Company pursuant to a Security and Pledge Agreement. Funding is subject to the occurrence of certain milestones, as stated in the SPA. In addition to the issuance of the notes in the offering, the Company’s Board of Directors approved, as part of the offering, the issuance of warrants to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock for 50% of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of each note. Each warrant is immediately exercisable at $0.30 per share and expires five years from the issuance date.

On March 6, 2019, the Company entered into SPAs and Security and Pledge Agreements with its first two investors in the offering and issued notes to the investors in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000. Subscription funds were received by the Company from the investors on March 6, 2019. In addition to the notes, the Company issued to the investors an aggregate of 250,000 warrants. Each warrant is immediately exercisable at $0.30 per share, contains certain anti-dilution down-round features and expires on March 6, 2024. If the Company ever defaults on the loan the warrants to be issued will increase from 50% of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion to 100%. The warrants are considered equity instruments based on the Company’s adoption of ASU 2017-11.
The proceeds received upon issuing the notes and warrants were allocated to each instrument on a relative fair value basis. The initial fair value of the warrants was $12,646 determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected term of 2.5 years; risk free interest rate of 2.5%; and volatility of 127%. The effective conversion rate resulted in a discount of $11,226 and is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the notes.
On January 1, 2020, the Company failed to achieve certain milestones during calendar 2019 and, as such, the conversion/exercise prices of the note and warrants were adjusted to $0.10 and $0.15, respectively. This resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings of $131 based on the change in fair value.
Effective January 15, 2020, the Company went into technical default of the note agreement as a result of not making the December 31, 2019 interest payment within the required period. As a result, the principal was increased by 20%, or $20,000, in aggregate, and the Company was required to issue an additional 250,000 warrants at the then effective exercise price of $0.15 per share. The fair value of the warrants was $28,793, determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected term of 4.14 years; risk free interest rate of 1.6%; and volatility of 243%. Due to the default, this value was immediately expensed.
As of March 31, 2020, the exercise price of the warrants was further adjusted to $0.00084 as a result of the down-round features being triggered. This resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings of $46 based on the change in fair value.
On September 21, 2020, these notes were amended to reduce the conversion price of an aggregate of $20,000 of the total outstanding principal value of $120,000 from $0.10 to $0.01 per share. The remaining aggregate principal of $100,000 remains convertible at $0.10 per share. This modification to the notes was considered substantial (i.e. the change in fair value of the conversion feature was greater than 10% of the carrying value of the debt). As a result, the modification was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt, resulting in the recognition of an extinguishment loss of $18,360 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
As of September 30, 2020, the unpaid principal balance of the notes is $120,000, which includes the default penalty noted above, accrued interest is $13,535 and the balance of the unamortized discount is $0.

The note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum and interest payments will be made on a quarterly basis. The note matures August 2, 2021. $75,000, $25,000, and $25,000 subscription funds were received by the Company from the investor on August 2, 2019, September 6, 2019, and October 16, 2019, respectively.

The proceeds received upon issuing the note and warrants were allocated to each instrument on a relative fair value basis. The initial fair value of the warrants was $71,035 determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected term of 2.5 years; risk free interest rate of 1.6%; and volatility of 132%. The effective conversion rate resulted in a discount of $104,941 and is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the note.
Effective January 30, 2020, the Company went into technical default of the note agreement as a result of not making the December 31, 2019 interest payment within the required period. As a result, the Company was required to issue an additional 781,250 warrants at the then effective exercise price of $0.12 per share. The fair value of the warrants was $90,342, determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected term of 4.76 years; risk free interest rate of 1.6%; and volatility of 233%.

This note is payable to a related party.
On August 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an investor for the purchase of a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of up to $105,000. The Note is not convertible within 180 days of receipt of funds for the first closing and is then convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a rate of $0.20 per share. Upon an “Event of Default,” as defined in the note, the conversion price becomes the “Variable Conversion Price” which is defined in the note as “60% multiplied by the Marked Price.” “Market Price” is defined in the note as “the lowest one (1) Trading Price (as defined in the note) for the common stock during the twenty-five (25) Trading Day period ending on the last complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date.” The note bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum with principal and accrued and unpaid interest payable six months from the receipt of funds for each tranche under the note. Subscription funds of $30,000 were received by the Company from the investor on September 6, 2019 for which the Company paid a purchase price of $35,000. In addition to the notes, the Company issued to the investor an aggregate of 175,000 warrants. The warrants are considered equity instruments based on the Company’s adoption of ASU 2017-11.
The proceeds received upon issuing the notes and warrants were allocated to each instrument on a relative fair value basis. The initial fair value of the warrants was $15,868 determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected term of 2.5 years; risk free interest rate of 1.4%; and volatility of 132%. The effective conversion rate resulted in a discount of $10,378 and is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the notes.
As of March 31, 2020, the exercise price of the warrants was adjusted to $0.00084 and the number of warrants was increased to 41,666,667 as a result of the down-round features being triggered. This resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings of $203,002 based on the change in fair value.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the note went into default upon passing its maturity date. As a result, a default penalty of $26,250 was recorded and added to the principal balance. In addition, the conversion price became the “Variable Conversion Price” as defined above. This note became convertible into a variable number of shares of common stock for which there is no floor to the number of shares that might be required to be issued. Based on the requirements of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the conversion feature represents an embedded derivative that is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a separate derivative liability. The derivative liability is originally recorded at its estimated fair value and is required to be revalued at each conversion event and reporting period. Changes in the derivative liability fair value are reported in operating results each reporting period.
The Company valued the conversion feature on the date of default resulting in initial liability of $159,888, which was immediately expensed due to the default. At each conversion date, the Company recalculated the value of the derivative liability associated with the convertible note recording a gain (loss) in connection with the change in fair market value. In addition, the pro-rata portion of the derivative liability as compared to the portion of the convertible note converted was reclassed to additional paid-in capital. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a gain/(loss) of $25,181 and ($114,050) related to the change of fair value of the derivative liability. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded $0 and $235,393 to additional paid-in capital, respectively.
Upon issuance and at each conversion, reporting period date, and extinguishment date, the Company valued the conversion feature using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: conversion prices ranging from $0.0008 to $0.0073, the closing stock price of the Company's common stock on the date of valuation ranging from $0.0022 to $0.021, an expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility ranging from 459% to 574%, risk-free interest rates ranging from 0.11% to 0.39%, and an expected term of 0.25 years.
On May 20, 2020, the second closing of the Convertible Promissory Note occurred pursuant to which the Company paid a purchase price of $35,000 and received gross proceeds of $29,300. In addition to the issuance of the note, the Company issued to the holder warrants to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock for 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the funds received in the second closing. Each warrant is immediately exercisable at $0.20 per share, unless adjusted, and expires on May 20, 2025.
On July 29, 2020, the Company entered into a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement with the lender pursuant to which the Company paid $100,000 to the lender in exchange for the full extinguishment of the remaining principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest and penalties associated with the Convertible Promissory Note dated August 29, 2019 issued to the lender (approximately $62,000). All remaining unexercised warrants to purchase the Company’s Common Stock issued to the lender were also extinguished pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. Upon receipt of the Settlement Amount by the lender, the lender agreed to release all reserved shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Settlement Agreement also provides for a full mutual release of the parties. The settlement payment was allocated to the extinguished debt and warrants based on their relative fair values. The difference in the settlement amount allocated to the debt components, including the related derivative liability, and the actual value of the debt components of $2,155 was recorded as a gain on extinguishment during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The settlement amount allocated to the warrants of $1,609 was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. In addition, the remaining unamortized discount was fully amortized to interest expense upon the settlement.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, $26,420 and $39,572 of the note discount has been amortized to interest expense leaving an unamortized balance of $0.

On July 29, 2020, the Company entered an Equity Financing Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement with GHS Investments LLC (“GHS”), pursuant to which GHS agreed to purchase up to $5,000,000 in shares of the Company’s Common Stock, from time to time over the course of 36 months after effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1 of the underlying shares of Common Stock.
In connection with entering into the Equity Financing Agreement, on July 29, 2020, the Company issued to GHS a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $100,000 (the “$100k Note”). The $100k Note matures on April 29, 2021 upon which time all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable. Interest accrues on the $100k Note at 10% per annum based on a 360-day year. The $100k Note is convertible at any time, upon the election of GHS, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.01 per share. The $100k Note is subject to various “Events of Default,” which are disclosed in the $100k Note. Upon the occurrence of an uncured “Event of Default,” the $100k Note will become immediately due and payable and will be subject to penalties and adjustments to the conversion price (the lesser of: (a) $0.01 or (b) 70% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined in the $100k Note) (representing a discount rate of 30%). Upon the issuance of the $100k Note, the Company has agreed to reserve one times the amount of shares of Common Stock into which the $100k Note is convertible and, 101 days from the issuance of the $100k Note, the Company will reserve two-and-a-half times the amount of shares of Common Stock into which the $100k Note is convertible. Within three Trading Days (as defined in the $100k Note) of the sale by GHS of all of the Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the $100k Note, the Company is required to issue to GHS an amount of shares of Common Stock priced at the lowest traded price for the relevant Trading Day, which represents the difference between $130,000 and the net proceeds to GHS from the sale of aggregate Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the $100k Note.
Also, in connection with entering into the Equity Financing Agreement, on July 29, 2020, the Company issued to GHS a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $75,000 (the “$75k Note”). No proceeds were received for this note as it was issued to offset future transaction costs related to any future issuances of equity under the agreement. As a result, the amount has been capitalized as deferred offering costs in the accompanying balance sheet and will be offset against any future proceeds received under the agreement. The $75k Note matures on April 29, 2021 upon which time all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable. Interest accrues on the $75k Note at 10% per annum based on a 360-day year. The $75k Note is convertible at any time, upon the election of GHS, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.0099 per share. The $75k Note is subject to various “Events of Default,” which are disclosed in the $75k Note. Upon the occurrence of an uncured “Event of Default,” the $75k Note will become immediately due and payable (multiplied by 130% of the unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest) and will be subject to penalties and adjustments to the conversion price (the lesser of: (a) $0.01 or (b) 70% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined in the $75k Note) (representing a discount rate of 30%). Upon the issuance of the $75k Note, the Company has agreed to reserve one times the amount of shares of Common Stock into which the $75k Note is convertible and, 101 days from the issuance of the $75k Note, the Company will reserve two-and-a-half times the amount of shares of Common Stock into which the $75k Note is convertible.
As of September 30, 2020, the unpaid principal balance of these notes is $175,000, and the accrued interest is $3,021.
8. PPP LOAN
The Company applied for and received funding from the Payroll Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) in the amount of $36,700. under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of IIoT-OXYS, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of IIoT-OXYS, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2019, 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 its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Consideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses since inception and has negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the financial statements. 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 audits 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.

IIOT-OXYS, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2019
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The Company was only recently formed and is currently devoting substantially all its efforts in identifying, developing and marketing engineered products, software and services for applications in the Industrial Internet which involves collecting and processing data collected from a wide variety of industrial systems and machines.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company's financial statements are prepared on the accrual method of accounting. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements for December 31, 2019 include the accounts of IIOT-OXYS, Inc., OXYS Corporation, and HereLab, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The consolidated financial statements for December 31, 2018 include the accounts of IIOT-OXYS, Inc., OXYS Corporation, and HereLab, Inc. as of the closing date of the acquisition agreement dated January 11, 2018. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue is derived primarily from providing services under contractual agreements. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) which was adopted on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method, which was elected to apply to all active contracts as of the adoption date. Application of the modified retrospective method did not impact amounts previously reported by the Company, nor did it require a cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption, as the Company's method of recognizing revenue under ASC 606 yielded similar results to the method utilized immediately prior to adoption. Accordingly, there was no effect to each financial statement line item as a result of applying the new revenue standard.
According to ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue based on the following criteria:
| · | Identification of a contract or contracts, with a customer. | |
| · | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract. | |
| · | Determination of contract price. | |
| · | Allocation of transaction price to the performance obligation. | |
| · | Recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligation is satisfied. |
| F-28 |
The Company used a practical expedient available under ASC 606-10-65-1(f)4 that permits it to consider the aggregate effect of all contract modifications that occurred before the beginning of the earliest period presented when identifying satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations.
The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling activities as cost of sales. Additionally, the Company has elected to record revenue net of sales and other similar taxes.
Use of Estimates
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company was only recently formed, has incurred continuing operating losses and has an accumulated deficit of $5,040,307 and $3,153,020 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that it will be able to achieve a satisfactory level of liquidity to meet the Company’s obligations for the next 12 months by generating cash through additional borrowings and/or issuances of equity securities, as needed. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient liquidity to maintain its operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Concentration of Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents which are generally not collateralized. The Company’s policy is to place its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions, in order to limit the amount of credit exposure. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), up to $250,000. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no amounts in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Trade accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying potential troubled accounts and by using historical experience and future expectations applied to an aging of accounts. Trade accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2019 and 2018.
| F-29 |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments is determined in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company regularly reviews the carrying value and estimated lives of its long-lived assets to determine whether indicators of impairment may exist that warrant adjustments to the carrying value or estimated useful lives. The determinants used for this evaluation include management’s estimate of the asset’s ability to generate positive income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods as well as the strategic significance of the assets to the Company’s business objectives.
Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated periods benefited and are reviewed when appropriate for possible impairment.
Convertible Debt
Convertible debt is accounted for under FASB ASC 470, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share
The Company computes basic and diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders for the period under ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share.
3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
ASU 2016-02
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the consolidated statement of operations. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02. The Company is not a lessee of a lease longer than 12 months nor has the Company been a lessee of a lease longer than 12 months in prior periods therefore there is no impact of the adoption of this standard.
| F-30 |
ASU 2018-07
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which aligned certain aspects of share-based payments accounting between employees and nonemployees. Specifically, nonemployee share-based payment awards within the scope of Topic 718 are measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that an entity is obligated to issue when the good has been delivered or the service has been rendered and any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied and an entity considers the probability of satisfying performance conditions when nonemployee share-based payment awards contain such conditions. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-17. The new standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.
ASU 2019-12
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB and do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements," defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:
| · | Level 1—Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets. |
| · | Level 2—Observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or model-derived valuations whose significant inputs are observable. |
| · | Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions. |
| F-31 |
The following tables set forth the liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and 2018:
| December 31, 2019 | ||||||||||||||||
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |||||||||||||

| Total fair value | $ | 32,500 | $ | – | $ | 912,229 | $ | 944,729 | ||||||||
The shares of common stock associated with the Level 3 accrued share compensation liability are the unvested shares earned on a pro-rata basis as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 related to the consulting agreements discussed in Note 7. The fair value was calculated based on comparable adjusted amounts the Company was raising funds at multiplied by the total shares agreed upon on the effective date of the respective agreements. The share compensation amount is amortized over the life of the agreements.
The shares of common stock associated with the Level 1 accrued share compensation liability are shares issued to a consultant in exchange for work provided during the period, but not yet issued as of December 31, 2018, related to a settlement agreement discussed in Note 7. The fair value was calculated based on market prices for the shares in an active market on the effective date of the agreement.
The shares of common stock associated with the Level 3 shares issued in the acquisition of Herelab as of December 31, 2018 were valued based on comparable adjusted amounts the Company was raising funds at on the effective date of the agreement.
5. INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic No. 740. This standard requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset or liability equal to the expected future tax benefit or expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting methods and any available operating loss or tax credit carryforwards. Income tax returns open for examination by the Internal Revenue Service consist of tax years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.
| F-32 |
The Company has available at December 31, 2019, unused operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5,040,911 which may be applied against future taxable income and which expire in various years through 2036. However, if certain substantial changes in the Company’s ownership should occur, there could be an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforward which can be utilized. The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the future earnings of the Company and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the loss carryforwards, the Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the tax effect of the loss carryforwards and other temporary differences of approximately $1,303,076 and $815,056 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and therefore, no deferred tax asset has been recognized for the loss carryforwards. The change in the valuation allowance is approximately $488,020 and $417,038 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Deferred tax assets are comprised of the following:

6. INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET
The Company’s intangible assets comprise of intellectual property revolving around their field tests, sensor integrations, and board designs. Intangible assets, net of amortization at December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $397,492 and $446,992, respectively.

At December 31, 2019 the Company determined that none of its intangible assets were impaired. Amortizable intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of ten years. Amortization expense of finite-lived intangibles was $49,500 and $48,220 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In prior years, the Company entered into consulting agreements with one director, three executive officers, and one engineer of the Company which include commitments to issue shares of the Company’s common stock from the Company’s Stock Incentive Plans. Two agreements have been terminated and shares have been issued in conjunction with the related separation agreements, but the vested shares related to the remaining consulting agreements with the three executive officers have not yet been issued and therefore remain a liability. According to the remaining three agreements, 1,269,000 shares vested in 2019, 2,400,000 shares of common stock will vest in 2020, and 3,600,000 shares of common stock will vest in 2021.
According to the agreements with the executive officers the shares vest annually over three years on the anniversary of each agreement.
In the event that the agreement is terminated by either party pursuant to the terms of the agreement, all unvested shares which have been earned shall vest on a pro-rata basis as of the effective date of the termination of the agreement and all unearned, unvested shares shall be terminated.
The value of the shares was assigned at fair market value on the effective date of the agreement and the pro-rata number of shares earned was calculated and amortized at the end of each reporting period. The Company accrued $1,102,645 and $944,467 in shares payable in conjunction with these agreements as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. A summary of these agreements is as follows.
On March 11, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Consulting Agreement dated effective June 4, 2018 with its CEO. The term of the agreement is for three years beginning as of the effective date, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the agreement and is automatically renewable for one-year terms upon the consent of the parties. The services to be provided by the CEO pursuant to the agreement are those customary for the position in which the CEO is serving. The CEO shall receive a monthly fee of $15,000 which accrues unless converted into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion rate specified in the agreement. Until the Company closes a minimum $500,000 capital raise, the monthly fee accrues and, upon the closing of such a capital raise, $5,000 of the monthly fee will be paid to the CEO in cash and the remainder will continue to accrue. Upon the closing of a capital raise of at least $2,000,000, the entire monthly fee will be paid to the CEO in cash and all accrued and unpaid monthly fees will be paid by the Company within one year of the closing of such a capital raise. As of the effective date, the Company shall issue to the CEO an aggregate of 3,060,000 shares of the Company’s common stock which vest as follows:
| F-34 |
| 1. | 560,000 shares on the first-year anniversary of the effective date; | |
| 2. | 1,000,000 shares on the second-year anniversary of the effective date; and | |
| 3. | 1,500,000 shares on the third-year anniversary of the effective date. |
The shares are issued under the 2019 Stock Incentive Plan. Vesting of the shares is subject to acceleration of vesting upon the occurrence of certain events such as a Change of Control (as defined in the agreement) or the listing of the Company’s common stock on a senior exchange. As of December 31, 2019, 560,000 shares had vested, but were not yet issued.
On March 11, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Consulting Agreement dated effective October 1, 2018 with its COO. The term of the agreement is for three years beginning as of the effective date, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the agreement and is automatically renewable for one-year terms upon the consent of the parties. The services to be provided by the COO pursuant to the agreement are those customary for the position in which the COO is serving. The COO shall receive a monthly fee of $12,750 which accrues unless converted into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion rate specified in the agreement. Until the Company closes a minimum $500,000 capital raise, the monthly fee accrues and, upon the closing of such a capital raise, $4,250 of the monthly fee will be paid to the COO in cash and the remainder will continue to accrue. Upon the closing of a capital raise of at least $2,000,000, the entire monthly fee will be paid to the COO in cash and all accrued and unpaid monthly fees will be paid by the Company within one year of the closing of such a capital raise. As of the effective date, the Company shall issue to the COO an aggregate of 2,409,000 shares of the Company’s common stock which vest as follows:
| 1. | 409,000 shares on the first-year anniversary of the effective date; | |
| 2. | 800,000 shares on the second-year anniversary of the effective date; and | |
| 3. | 1,200,000 shares on the third-year anniversary of the effective date. |
The shares are issued under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan.

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:
|
Year ended
December 31, |
||||||||
| 2019 | 2018 | |||||||
| Net loss attributable to common stockholders (basic) | $ | (1,887,287 | ) | $ | (1,613,229 | ) | ||
| Shares used to compute net loss per common share, basic and diluted | 42,334,210 | 40,601,683 | ||||||
| Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted | $ | (0.04 | ) | $ | (0.04 | ) | ||
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding for the period. Common stock equivalents are only included when their effect is dilutive. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities which include stock options, convertible debt, convertible preferred stock and common stock warrants have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as they would be anti-dilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to compute basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.
| F-38 |
The following outstanding common stock equivalents have been excluded from diluted net loss per common share for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

10. CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE
On January 18, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a non-public offering of up to $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 12% Senior Secured Convertible Notes. The notes are convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock, at any time at a rate of $0.65 per share with fractions rounded up to the nearest whole share, unless paid in cash at the Company’s election. The notes bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum and interest payments will be made on a quarterly basis. The notes mature January 15, 2020.
The notes are governed by a Securities Purchase Agreement and are secured by all the assets of the Company pursuant to a Security and Pledge Agreement. In addition to the issuance of the notes in the offering, the Company’s Board of Directors approved, as part of the offering, the issuance of warrants to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock for 50% of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of each note. Each warrant is immediately exercisable at $0.75 per share, contains certain anti-dilution down-round features and expires on January 15, 2023. If the Company ever defaults on the loan the warrants to be issued will increase from 50% of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion to 100%.
On January 22, 2018, the Company entered into a SPA and Security and Pledge Agreement with its first investor in the offering and issued a note to the investor in the principal amount of $500,000. Subscription funds were received by the Company from the investor on February 7, 2018. In addition to the note, the Company issued to the investor 384,615 warrants. The warrants are considered equity instruments based on the Company’s adoption of ASU 2017-11.
The proceeds received upon issuing the note and warrants were allocated to each instrument on a relative fair value basis. The initial fair value of the warrants was $838,404 determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected term of 2.5 years; risk free interest rate of 2.1%; and volatility of 142%. The effective conversion rate resulted in a Beneficial Conversion Feature greater than the proceeds received. Thus, the discount was limited to the proceeds received of $500,000 and was amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the note.
On March 7, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved Amendment No. 1 to the 12% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note and the Warrant Agreement, each issued January 22, 2018, respectively, to the note holder.

The fair value of the warrants is $25,162 determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected term of 2.5 years; risk free interest rate of 2.6%; and volatility of 127%. The effective conversion rate resulted in a discount of $23,956 and is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the note. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $221,232 related to the decrease in conversion price.
| F-39 |

The initial fair value of the warrants was $3,217 determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected term of 2.5 years; risk free interest rate of 2.6%; and volatility of 128%. The effective conversion rate resulted in a discount of $3,039 and is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the note.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued and determined that there were the following items to disclose:
| F-42 |
Six months from receipt of the first tranche of $35,000 under the Convertible Promissory Note issued on August 29, 2019, the Company failed to pay the accrued and unpaid interest, which is considered an “Event of Default” under the note. As a result, the conversion price became a “Variable Conversion Price.” Also, as a result of the occurrence of the “Event of Default,” all amounts owing under the note became immediately due and payable and the Company became obligated to pay to the holder 175% of the then outstanding balance of the note and all unpaid principal and unpaid interest accrued interest at 15%.
During 2020, the holder of the note had converted $35,000 of principle plus fees into shares of Common Stock and, as of the date hereof, the amount of principle owing under the note is $0. As a result of the conversions by the holder at a conversion price below the warrant exercise price of $0.20, the exercise price of the warrants was adjusted to $0.00084. During 2020, the holder of the note exercised 38,038,165 warrants at conversion prices ranging from $0.026 to $0.060.
On May 20, 2020, the second closing of the Convertible Promissory Note occurred pursuant to which the Company paid a purchase price of $35,000 and received gross proceeds of $29,300. In addition to the issuance of the note, the Company issued to the holder warrants to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock for 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the funds received in the second closing. Each warrant is immediately exercisable at $0.20 per share, unless adjusted, and expires on May 20, 2025.
During 2020, the Company applied for and received funding from the Payroll Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) in the amount of $36,700. under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan matures on April 23, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Monthly amortized principal and interest payments are deferred for six months after the date of disbursement. The Promissory Note contains events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type. The Paycheck Protection Program provides that the use of PPP Loan amount shall be limited to certain qualifying expenses and may be partially or wholly forgiven in accordance with the requirements set forth in the CARES Act.
The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the 2019 novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, on all aspects of its business. COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020 and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The Company has implemented contingency plans, with office-based employees working remotely where possible. While the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations to date, the future impacts of the pandemic and any resulting economic impact are largely unknown and rapidly evolving. It is possible that the COVID-19 pandemic, the measures taken by the governments of countries affected and the resulting economic impact may materially and adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position as well as its customers.
On June 12, 2020, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the 5% Secured Promissory Note with Cambridge Medspace, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company, pursuant to which the Note was amended to extend the maturity date to January 22, 2021.

Historical Background
We were incorporated in the State of New Jersey on October 1, 2003 under the name of Creative Beauty Supply of New Jersey Corporation and subsequently changed our name to Gotham Capital Holdings, Inc. on May 18, 2015. We commenced operations in the beauty supply industry as of January 1, 2004. On November 30, 2007, our Board of Directors approved a plan to dispose of our wholesale and retail beauty supply business. From January 1, 2009 until July 28, 2017, we had no operations and were a shell company.
On March 16, 2017, our Board of Directors adopted resolutions, which were approved by shareholders holding a majority of our outstanding shares, to change our name to “IIOT-OXYS, Inc.”, to authorize a change of domicile from New Jersey to Nevada, to authorize a 2017 Stock Awards Plan, and to approve the Securities Exchange Agreement (the “OXYS SEA”) between the Company and OXYS Corporation (“OXYS”), a Nevada corporation incorporated on August 4, 2016.
Under the terms of the OXYS SEA we acquired 100% of the issued voting shares of OXYS in exchange for 34,687,244 shares of our Common Stock. We also cancelled 1,500,000 outstanding shares of our Common Stock and changed our management to Mr. DiBiase who also served in management of OXYS. Also, one of our principal shareholders entered into a consulting agreement with OXYS to provide consulting services during the transition. The OXYS SEA was effective on July 28, 2017, and our name was changed to “IIOT-OXYS, Inc.” at that time. Effective October 26, 2017, our domicile was changed from New Jersey to Nevada.
On December 14, 2017, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “HereLab SEA”) with HereLab, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HereLab”), and HereLab’s two shareholders pursuant to which we would acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of HereLab in exchange for the issuance of 1,650,000 shares of our Common Stock, on a pro rata basis, to HereLab’s two shareholders. The closing of the transaction occurred on January 11, 2018 and HereLab became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
A new management team was put into place in 2018, which constitutes our current management team.
At the present time, we have two, wholly-owned subsidiaries which are OXYS Corporation and HereLab, Inc., through which our operations are conducted.
General Overview
IIOT-OXYS, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and OXYS, were originally established for the purposes of designing, building, testing, and selling Edge Computing systems for the Industrial Internet. Both companies were, and presently are, early stage technology startups that are largely pre-revenue in their development phase. HereLab is also an early-stage technology development company. The Company received its first revenues in the last quarter of 2017 and has continued to realize revenues through 2020, and expects to realize revenue growth in 2021 due to its business development pipeline.
We develop hardware, software and algorithms that monitor, measure and predict conditions for energy, structural, agricultural and medical applications. We use domain-specific Artificial Intelligence to solve industrial and environmental challenges. Our engineered solutions focus on common sense approaches to machine learning, algorithm development and hardware and software products.
Our customers have issues and they need improvements. We design a system of hardware and software, assemble, install, monitor data and apply our algorithms to help provide the customer insights.
| 26 |
We use off the shelf components, with reconfigurable hardware architecture that adapts to a wide range of customer needs and applications. We use open source software tools, while still creating proprietary content for customers, thereby reducing software development time and cost. The software works with the hardware to collect data from the equipment or structure that is being monitored.
We focus on developing insights. We develop algorithms that help our customers create insights from vast data streams. The data collected is analyzed and reports are created for the customer. From these insights, the customer can act to improve their process, product or structure.
OUR SOLUTIONS ACHIEVE TWO OBJECTIVES
ADD VALUE
| · | We show clear path to improved asset reliability, machine uptime, machine utilization, energy consumption, and quality. |
| · | We provide advanced algorithms and insights as a service. |
RISK MINIMIZATION
| · | We use simple measurements requiring almost zero integration – minimally invasive. |
| · | We do not interfere with command and control of critical equipment. |
| · | We do not physically touch machine control networks – total isolation of networks. |
HOW WE DO IT
Our location in Cambridge, Massachusetts is ideal since market-leading Biotech, Medtech, and Pharma multinational firms have offices or R&D centers in Cambridge or the Greater Boston area, which gives us easier access to potential sales which, in turn, lowers our cost of sales. Additionally, we continue to add value to structural health monitoring and smart manufacturing customers as well. We, therefore, have a range of opportunities as we continue to expand our customer base.
Our goal is to help Biotech, Pharma, and Medical Device companies realize the next wave of performance, productivity, and quality gains for their organizations, and become Industry 4.0 compliant.
We have a unique value proposition in a fast-growing worldwide multi-billion USD market, and have positioned our business with strategic partners for accelerated growth. We are therefore well-poised for growth in 2020 and beyond, as we execute our plans and acquire additional customers.
| 27 |
WHAT MARKETS WE SERVE
SMART MANUFACTURING
We help our customers maintain machine uptime and maximize operational efficiency. We also enable then to do energy monitoring, predictive maintenance that anticipates problems before they happen, and improve part and process quality.
BIOTECH, PHARMACEUTICAL, AND MEDICAL DEVICES
We are on the operations side, not the patient-facing side. In this market vertical, our customers must provide high-quality products that must also pass rigorous review by governing bodies such as the FDA. Here again, we focus on machine uptime, operational efficiency, and predictive maintenance to avoid unplanned downtime.
SMART INFRASTRUCTURE
For bridges and other civil infrastructure, local, state and federal agencies have limited resources. We help our clients prioritize how to spend limited funds by addressing those fixes which need to be made first.
OUR UNIQUE VALUE PROPOSITION
EDGE COMPUTING AS A COMPLIMENT TO CLOUD COMPUTING
Within the Internet of Things (“IoT”) and Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”), most companies right now are adopting an approach which sends all sensor data to the cloud for processing. We specialize in edge computing, where the data processing is done locally right where the data is collected. We also have advanced cloud-based algorithms that implement various machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms.
ADVANCED ALGORITHMS
We have sought to differentiate from our competitors by developing advanced algorithms on our own and in collaboration with strategic partners These algorithms are an essential part of the edge computing strategy that convert raw data into actionable knowledge right where the data is collected without having to send the data to the cloud first.
RECONFIGURABLE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE
Instead of focusing on creating tools, we use open source tools to create proprietary content.

The Company incurred professional fees of $295,465, interest fees of $36,473 and other general and administrative expenses of $51,510. As a result, the Company incurred a net loss of $349,316 for the three months ended September 30, 2019.
During the current and prior period, the Company did not record an income tax benefit due to the uncertainty associated with the Company’s ability to utilize the deferred tax assets.
Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company earned revenues of $41,771 and incurred related cost of sales of $21,121. The Company incurred professional fees of $672,256, interest fees of $640,404, loss on extinguishment of debt of $16,205, loss on change in FMV of derivative liability of $114,051, and other general and administrative expenses of $82,147, partially offset by miscellaneous income of $409.

Comparatively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company earned revenues of $113,947 and incurred related cost of sales of $33,707. The Company incurred professional fees of $1,276,528, interest fees of $124,252, loss on extinguishment of debt of $221,232 and other general and administrative expenses of $134,585. As a result, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,676,357 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
During the current and prior period, the Company did not record an income tax benefit due to the uncertainty associated with the Company’s ability to utilize the deferred tax assets.
Year over Year (YoY) revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was less than in same period of 2019. This was due to several reasons, including: challenges raising substantial capital and longer than anticipated customer acquisition times. These two factors led to cash flow issues, which in turn led to additional and aging A/P. All this resulted in a challenging nine months ended September 30, 2020, and, thus, the negative YoY revenue growth. Our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2020 disclosed risks of ongoing concerns, and those concerns still exist. A counter balance to these headwinds are the achievements Year To Date in 2020: We completed a successful pilot program for our Fortune 500 Pharma customer, and also successfully completed a full year of data collection and analysis on our pilot structural health monitoring program for a New England state’s DOT. The underlying strengths of the Company are still in place: an experienced leadership team; contributions of a PhD level Machine Learning Algorithm engineer on our technology team; and strong execution on current contracts. Our continued focus on high potential growth markets (specifically Biotech, Pharma, and Medical Device Operations), have yielded numerous prospects for future growth. Furthermore, the strength of our target market, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), continues: Market research shows the worldwide IIoT market in 2017 was $92 billion and is projected to be $227 billion by 2021 (25% CAGR).[1]
| 29 |
It is anticipated that YoY revenue growth in the second half of 2020 will meet or exceed that for same period of 2019. This is due to the hard work of the past year that has resulted in two successful pilots, in two of our key target industry verticals. We now have data and algorithms to build strong use cases and marketing collateral that can be leveraged to extend contracts with current customers and win additional contracts with new customers in all targeted industry segments. Also, the strength of the Aingura IIoT, S.G. collaboration agreement has bolstered financial stability, added talent breadth and depth, and complimentary industry segment experience. Furthermore, recent liquidity of our stock has attracted funding opportunities, and access to additional capital will enable funding of business development, staff augmentation, and inorganic growth opportunities. Combined with our underlying strengths: experienced leadership; savvy technological talent, and operational execution excellence; we believe these revenue goals are achievable.
Another reason we are optimistic of our future growth potential is the continued strength of the Aingura IIoT, S.G. collaboration. This quarter we received pass through funding from a grant in the amount of $70,400, as a result of our recent collaborative work with Aingura IIoT, S.G. We’re confident the resulting aforementioned use cases and marketing collateral, combined with our extensive prospects, several under NDA, will culminate in new customers and overall revenue growth.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, we earned revenues of $147,151 and incurred related cost of sales of $38,960. We incurred professional fees of $1,807,286 and other general and administrative expenses of $164,501. We incurred other expenses net of income of $23,690. As a result, we incurred a net loss of $1,887,287 for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Comparatively, for the year ended December 31, 2018, we earned revenues of $224,643 and incurred related cost of sales of $135,008.

As a result, we incurred a net loss of $1,613,299 for the year ended December 31, 2018.
During the current and prior period, we did not record an income tax benefit due to the uncertainty associated with the Company’s ability to utilize the deferred tax assets.
Year over Year (YoY) revenue was less in 2019 than 2018. This was due to several reasons, including: challenges raising substantial capital and longer than anticipated customer acquisition times. These two factors led to cash flow issues, which in turn led to additional and aging AP. All this resulted in a difficult fourth quarter 2019, and thus the negative YoY revenue growth. Our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2019 disclosed risks of ongoing concerns, and those concerns still exist. A counter balance to these headwinds are the achievements in 2019: We won additional work with a Fortune 500 Pharma company and delivered solid results and we installed and initiated monitoring of pilot bridge structural health systems for a New England state’s DOT. Despite cash flow issues, cost cutting allowed us to weather a difficult fourth quarter 2019. The underlying strengths of the Company are still in place: an experienced leadership team; recruitment of a PhD level Machine Learning Algorithm engineer for our technology team; and strong execution of contracts secured. Our continued focus on high potential growth markets (specifically Biotech, Pharma, and Medical Device Operations), have yielded numerous prospects for future growth.

It is anticipated that 2020 YoY revenue growth will meet or exceed that of 2019. This is due to the following reasons: the strength of the Aingura IIoT, S.G. collaboration agreement, which brings financial stability, added talent breadth and depth, and complimentary industry segment experience. We anticipate the collaboration will yield breakthroughs in new contracts with current customers, as well as new customers in all targeted industry segments.

Combined with our underlying strengths: experienced leadership; savvy technological talent, and operational execution excellence; we believe these revenue goals are achievable.
Liquidity and Capital Resources for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
At September 30, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $48,495, which represents a $24,283 increase from the $24,212 balance at December 31, 2019. This increase was primarily the result of the pass-through funding we received from a grant in the amount of $70,400, as a result of our recent collaborative work with Aingura IIoT, S.G. offset by cash used to satisfy the requirements of a reporting company and due to acceleration in product development activities. The Company’s working capital at September 30, 2020 was a deficit of $3,325,611, as compared to a December 31, 2019 working capital deficit of $1,609,005.
For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $329,866.
For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of $349,316.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,504,004. Net cash used in operating activities was $41,717 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,676,357. Net cash used in operating activities was $262,662 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, investing activities consisted of $0. During the same period, financing activities consisted of cash received totaling $66,000 as a result of proceeds from the PPP Loan, proceeds from convertible notes payable, partially offset by cash paid for settlement of notes payable.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, investing activities consisted of $0. During the same period, financing activities consisted of cash received totaling $285,000 from proceeds from convertible notes payable.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations of $329,866 and $349,316 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and has an accumulated deficiency which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
| 31 |
Management believes the Company will continue to incur losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the foreseeable future and will need additional equity or debt financing to sustain its operations until it can achieve profitability and positive cash flows, if ever. Management plans to seek additional debt and/or equity financing for the Company but cannot assure that such financing will be available on acceptable terms. At the Company’s current rate of expenditure, the Company anticipates being able to maintain current operations for three months; however, management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds not provided by operations through loans or through additional sales of equity securities. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this additional capital or in achieving profitable operations.
The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to ultimately attain profitable operations, generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations, and obtain additional financing as may be required. Our auditors have included a going concern qualification in their auditors’ report dated June 22, 2020. Such a going concern qualification may make it more difficult for us to raise funds when needed. The outcome of this uncertainty cannot be assured.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in implementing its business plan or that the successful implementation of such business plan will actually improve the Company’s operating results.
Liquidity and Capital Resources for the Year Ended December 31, 2019 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2018
At December 31, 2019, we had a cash balance of $24,212, which represents a $15,014 decrease from the $39,226 balance at December 31, 2018. This decrease was primarily the result of cash used to satisfy the requirements of a reporting company and due to acceleration in product development activities. Our working capital at December 31, 2019 was negative $1,609,005, as compared to a December 31, 2018 working capital of negative $750,696.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, we incurred a net loss of $1,887,287. Net cash used in operating activities was $325,014 for the year ended December 31, 2019.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, we incurred a net loss of $1,613,299. Net cash used in operating activities was $521,637 for the year ended December 31, 2018.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, financing activities consisted of $310,000 of cash received from the issuance of Convertible Notes.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, financing activities consisted of $500,000 of cash received from the issuance of a convertible note.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we have incurred losses from operations of $1,887,287 for the year ended December 31, 2019, and $1,613,299 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and has an accumulated deficiency which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standard if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
| 32 |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity capital expenditures or capital resources.
Emerging Growth Company
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. Certain specified reduced reporting and other regulatory requirements that are available to public companies that are emerging growth companies. These provisions include:
| 1. | an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; |
| 2. | an exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they would apply to private companies; |
| 3. | an exemption from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about our audit and our financial statements; and |
| 4. | reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements. |
We have elected to take advantage of the exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to public companies required to adopt these new requirements.

IIOT-OXYS, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and OXYS, were originally established for the purposes of designing, building, testing, and selling Edge Computing systems for the Industrial Internet. Both companies were, and presently are, early stage technology startups that are largely pre-revenue in their development phase. HereLab is also an early-stage technology development company. The Company received its first revenues in the last quarter of 2017 and has continued to realize revenues through 2020, and expects to realize revenue growth in 2021 due to its business development pipeline.
We develop hardware, software and algorithms that monitor, measure and predict conditions for energy, structural, agricultural and medical applications. We use domain-specific Artificial Intelligence to solve industrial and environmental challenges. Our engineered solutions focus on common sense approaches to machine learning, algorithm development and hardware and software products.
Our customers have issues and they need improvements. We design a system of hardware and software, assemble, install, monitor data and apply our algorithms to help provide the customer insights.
We use off the shelf components, with reconfigurable hardware architecture that adapts to a wide range of customer needs and applications. We use open source software tools, while still creating proprietary content for customers, thereby reducing software development time and cost. The software works with the hardware to collect data from the equipment or structure that is being monitored.
We focus on developing insights. We develop algorithms that help our customers create insights from vast data streams. The data collected is analyzed and reports are created for the customer. From these insights, the customer can act to improve their process, product or structure.
OUR SOLUTIONS ACHIEVE TWO OBJECTIVES
ADD VALUE
| · | We show clear path to improved asset reliability, machine uptime, machine utilization, energy consumption, and quality. | |
| · | We provide advanced algorithms and insights as a service. |
RISK MINIMIZATION
| · | We use simple measurements requiring almost zero integration – minimally invasive. | |
| · | We do not interfere with command and control of critical equipment. | |
| · | We do not physically touch machine control networks – total isolation of networks. |

HOW WE DO IT
Our location in Cambridge, Massachusetts is ideal since market-leading Biotech, Medtech, and Pharma multinational firms have offices or R&D centers in Cambridge or the Greater Boston area, which gives us easier access to potential sales which, in turn, lowers out cost of sales. Additionally, we continue to add value to structural health monitoring and smart manufacturing customers as well. We, therefore, have a range of opportunities as we continue to expand our customer base.
Our goal is to help Biotech, Pharma, and Medical Device companies realize the next wave of performance, productivity, and quality gains for their organizations, and become Industry 4.0 compliant.
We have a unique value proposition in a fast-growing worldwide multi-billion USD market, and have positioned with strategic partners for accelerated growth. We are therefore well-poised for rapid growth in 2019 and beyond, as we execute our plans and quickly acquire additional customers.
WHAT MARKETS WE SERVE
SMART MANUFACTURING
We help our customers maintain machine uptime and maximize operational efficiency. We also enable then to do energy monitoring, predictive maintenance that anticipates problems before they happen, and improve part and process quality.
BIOTECH, PHARMACEUTICAL, AND MEDICAL DEVICES
We are on the operations side, not the patient-facing side. In this market vertical, our customers must provide high-quality products that must also pass rigorous review by governing bodies such as the FDA. Here again, we focus on machine uptime, operational efficiency, and predictive maintenance to avoid unplanned downtime.
SMART INFRASTRUCTURE
For bridges and other civil infrastructure, local, state and federal agencies have limited resources. We help our clients prioritize how to spend limited funds by addressing those fixes which need to be made first.
OUR UNIQUE VALUE PROPOSITION
EDGE COMPUTING AS A COMPLIMENT TO CLOUD COMPUTING
Within the Internet of Things (“IoT”) and Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”), most companies right now are adopting an approach which sends all sensor data to the cloud for processing. We specialize in edge computing, where the data processing is done locally right where the data is collected. We also have advanced cloud-based algorithms that implement various machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms.
| 35 |
ADVANCED ALGORITHMS
We have sought to differentiate from our competitors by developing advanced algorithms on our own and in collaboration with world-leading research institutions. These algorithms are an essential part of the edge computing strategy that convert raw data into actionable knowledge right where the data is collected without having to send the data to the cloud first.
RECONFIGURABLE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE
Instead of focusing on creating tools, we use open source tools to create proprietary content.
Marketing
Our marketing and sales efforts are divided into several distinct categories:
| 1) | Working with technical partners who have larger sales forces; | |
| 2) | Direct business development and discussions with end use customers by company management; and | |
| 3) | Trade shows and international technical, sales and marketing meetings. |
Competition
We have two principal sources of competition. The first comes from large companies such as IBM, GE, Amazon, Google, etc., who all have their efforts in IIoT. However, these large companies are cloud – computing centric and they are trying to move towards edge devices from their present position of being solely cloud computing based. We will be starting in edge computing from day one as opposed to force-fitting a cloud-based solution into the limited computational capability and storage space of an edge device. We believe our systems will be more computationally efficient as compared to a cloud-based solution which requires more computational resources.
Most of the IIoT implementations involve data going from sensor to cloud. This involves sending vast amounts of data to the cloud and then processing the data there. This requires a large computational footprint (many processors) and a large memory requirement to store the data. From our actual experience and according to many technical experts in the field (see for example the discussion on edge data in “Structural Health Monitoring” A Machine Learning Perspective,” by C.R. Farrar and K. Worden, John Wiley and Sons, New York, 2013), a better approach is to use Edge Computing. Edge Computing takes the raw data, which could be MB or GB per second, and extracts features. Features are attributes of the signal that preserve the essential physics of the signal but reduce the data density by a very large amount (up to a factor of one million). After the feature extraction step, the data has a data rate of approximately 10KB or 100KB per second. Next comes the classification step, which further reduces data by classifying data into at least two bins: nominal behavior or off-nominal or abnormal behavior. For example, in monitoring a machine tool in a factory, if the machine tool is behaving normally, there is nothing to report and therefore no data needs to be sent or transferred anywhere. Only the abnormal condition data needs to be sent along with a description of the problem. This is what Edge Computing accomplishes and it accomplishes this right where the data is being collected using relatively small computational and memory resources (For example our systems have a 1GHz processor and one few GB of RAM plus up to 32 GB of storage – which is less computational power than the average smart phone.). so considering all of these technical aspects, we are able to assert that our Edge Computing process is more efficient in terms of computational power and memory as compared to a cloud-based solution, that it only sends along the information (not just data) that is really needed, and it can still interact with cloud based services to provide data sharing across different platforms.
| 36 |
The second source of competition is from startups who are in the edge computing space. The most prominent example is FogHorn Systems Inc. There will be additional startups that will specifically target the edge computing space as the investor awareness and the technical focus shifts from cloud computing to edge computing. Whereas other startups focus on development of proprietary tools for edge computing, our solutions will use open source tools but will still create proprietary algorithms and software content for clients and customers. We feel this methodology of creating proprietary solutions using open source tools will allow us to rapidly address current and future customer needs.
Government Regulation
At present, we do not require any governmental approvals of any of our products or services.
Environmental Laws
At present, we are not regulated by any environmental laws.
Research and Development
Other than expenses for legal, accounting, audit, tax preparation, intellectual property (IP), and other overhead expenses such rent, most of our funds are spent on technology development, product development, and research and development. We are an emerging growth, early-stage, technology company and, as such, most of our expenditures are aimed at innovation and product development.
We have a technology maturation model so that we avoid doing work on technologies that are too early and too new and belong in a pure search environment. When the technology is ready to leave the lab, we take over the further development. Along the way we expect to file additional IP and otherwise protect technology by using trademarks, for example.
The efforts in research and development have already resulted in significant customer interest in various market verticals including industrial, automotive, aerospace, agricultural, infrastructure, and power generation.
All the present projects that we are working on internally as research and development projects will go forward, so we do not have any projects in the category of projects that have incurred significant expense but that will not result in present or future product.
Intellectual Property
On February 5, 2018, we entered into a Non-Exclusive Patent License Agreement with MIT. The agreement, which was effective February 1, 2018, granted to us a royalty-bearing non-exclusive license under U.S. Patent Nos. 8344724 (“Non-Intrusive Monitoring of Power and Other Parameters” issued January 1, 2013), 14/263407 (“Non-Intrusive Monitoring” filed April 28, 2014), and Patent Cooperation Treaty Serial No. PCT/US2016/057165 (“Noncontact Power Sensing” filed October 14, 2016) during the term of the agreement. The term of the agreement was from the effective date until the expiration or abandonment of all issued patents and filed patent applications licensed pursuant to the agreement, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the agreement.
| 37 |
Under the agreement, we were required to make a first commercial sale of a “LICENSED PRODUCT” and/or a first commercial performance of a “LICENSED PROCESS,” as defined in the agreement, on or before September 30, 2018. We had negotiated revenue targets with MIT which would determine annual royalty payments. The 2018 minimum revenue target for the sale of products and services incorporating the MIT technology was $100,000. This minimum revenue amount would increase in subsequent years.
Within 30 days of invoicing, a non-refundable license issue fee of $10,000 was paid by us to MIT. Pursuant to the agreement, we were required to pay to MIT additional patent maintenance fees in years beyond 2018.
Pursuant to the agreement, we were required to pay to MIT a running royalty of 2% of “NET SALES,” as defined in the agreement made in the calendar years 2018, 2019, and 2020. For “NET SALES” made in the calendar year 2021 and every calendar year thereafter through the term of the agreement, we were required to pay to MIT a running royalty of 4%.
On October 31, 2018, we sent written notice of our intent to terminate the agreement with an effective date of termination of April 30, 2019. Since none of the technology licensed to us by MIT had been used by us in any of our products and we had been investing in the development of our own intellectual property, we determined the technology that was licensed from MIT wasn’t necessary in the near term. Due to this, the written notice sent by us expressed a desire by our management to renegotiate the terms of the agreement with MIT.
MIT declined to renegotiate the terms of the agreement and, on December 6, 2018, we received a notice of termination from MIT due to non-payment of fees. As of December 6, 2018, the agreement was terminated, fees are no longer accruing, interest is accruing and $71,352 in fees owed to MIT are still owing as of the date of this Prospectus. Despite the termination of the Agreement, we remain active with MIT as a member of the MIT Startup Exchange (STEX). The purpose of STEX is to promote collaboration and partnerships between MIT-connected startups and members of MIT’s Industrial Liaison Program. We remain open to future mutually acceptable agreements with MIT.
We continue to develop our proprietary algorithms and plan to protect them through a combination of trade secret, copyright, and patents.
Customers
Due to our status of a start-up, at the moment, we depend on a few major customers. This should change as we implement plans for future growth.
Employees
As of February 8, 2021, we have four employees, all on W2’s, including the CEO, COO and CTO. One employee is full time and the remaining are part time.
At the present time, except for the funding received from Cambridge MedSpace LLC and Vidhyadhar Mitta in the form of secured notes, there are no conflicts of interest between the Company and any of our officers and directors. This was determined as follows: i) none of their outside activities are soliciting business from our customers or business contacts; ii) they are not soliciting our investors to invest in other ventures; and iii) they are not soliciting our contract employees to leave us and join other efforts. At present, all our business services are provided by outside contractors.
| 38 |
Legal Proceedings
We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

As of the effective date, the Company shall issue to Ms. McNemar an aggregate of 2,409,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock which vest as follows:
| 1. | 409,000 shares on the first-year anniversary of the effective date; | |
| 2. | 800,000 shares on the second-year anniversary of the effective date; and | |
| 3. | 1,200,000 shares on the third-year anniversary of the effective date. |
The shares are granted under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan. Vesting of the shares is subject to acceleration of vesting upon the occurrence of certain events such as a Change of Control (as defined in the McNemar Agreement) or the listing of the Company’s Common Stock on a senior exchange.
On June 12, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment effective January 1, 2020 (the “McNemar Amendment”) to the McNemar Agreement, pursuant to which, Sections 7(a) and 7(b) of the McNemar Agreement were amended to read as follows:
Fees. From January 1, 2020 until April 23, 2020, the Consultant shall be paid an hourly wage of $12.75 per hour for Services performed. From April 24, 2020 onward, the Consultant shall be paid an hourly wage of $48.08 an hour for Services performed (the “Fees”). Fees may accrue at the discretion of management.
Conversion of Accrued and Unpaid Fees. At any time, the Consultant shall have the right to convert any accrued and unpaid Fees into shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Conversion Shares”). The conversion price shall equal 90% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 10%) (the “Conversion Price”). “Market Price” means the average of the Trading Prices (as defined below) for the shares of Common Stock of the Company during the thirty (30) day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the Conversion Date. “Trading Price” and “Trading Prices” means, for any security as of any date, the closing trade price of the Company’s Common Stock on the OTC Pink, OTCQB or applicable trading market as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Consultant or, if the OTC Pink is not the principal trading market for such security, the trading price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no trading price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the trading prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets” by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. “Conversion Date” shall mean the date of receipt by the Company of the completed and executed Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
| 44 |
Pursuant to the McNemar Amendment, Section 11 was also eliminated from the McNemar Agreement.

| (1) | Under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the number of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the above table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on the December 31, 2020. |

2017 Stock Incentive Plan
On March 16, 2017, our board of directors assumed the 2017 Stock Awards Plan adopted by the Company while domiciled in New Jersey. No awards were made under this plan. On December 14, 2017, the Board of Directors terminated this plan and adopted a new 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The purposes of the 2017 Plan are (a) to enhance our ability to attract and retain the services of qualified employees, officers, directors, consultants, and other service providers upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the successful conduct and development of our business largely depends, and (b) to provide additional incentives to such persons or entities to devote their utmost effort and skill to the advancement and betterment of our company, by providing them an opportunity to participate in the ownership of our Company and thereby have an interest in the success and increased value of our Company.
There are 4,500,000 shares of common stock authorized for non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock grants, and stock appreciation rights under the 2017 Plan, which are subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and other situations.
| 49 |
The 2017 Plan is administered by our board of directors; however, the board of directors may designate administration of the 2017 Plan to a committee consisting of at least two independent directors. Only employees of our Company or of an “Affiliated Company”, as defined in the 2017 Plan, (including members of the board of directors if they are employees of our Company or of an Affiliated Company) are eligible to receive incentive stock options under the Plan. Employees of our Company or of an Affiliated Company, members of the board of directors (whether or not employed by our company or an Affiliated Company), and “Service Providers”, as defined in the 2017 Plan, are eligible to receive non-qualified options, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights under the 2017 Plan. All awards are subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
No option awards may be exercisable more than ten years after the date it is granted. In the event of termination of employment for cause, the options terminate on the date of employment is terminated. In the event of termination of employment for disability or death, the optionee or administrator of optionee’s estate or transferee has six months following the date of termination to exercise options received at the time of disability or death. In the event of termination for any other reason other than for cause, disability or death, the optionee has 30 days to exercise his or her options.
The 2017 Plan will continue in effect until all the stock available for grant or issuance has been acquired through exercise of options or grants of shares, or until ten years after its adoption, whichever is earlier. Awards under the 2017 Plan may also be accelerated in the event of certain corporate transactions such as a merger or consolidation or the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all our assets.
As of December 31, 2020, the Board had granted 4,409,000 shares of Common Stock under the 2017 Plan.
2019 Stock Incentive Plan
On March 11, 2019, the Board of Directors adopted the 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”). The purposes of the 2019 Plan are (a) to enhance our ability to attract and retain the services of qualified employees, officers, directors, consultants, and other service providers upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the successful conduct and development of our business largely depends, and (b) to provide additional incentives to such persons or entities to devote their utmost effort and skill to the advancement and betterment of our company, by providing them an opportunity to participate in the ownership of our Company and thereby have an interest in the success and increased value of our Company.
The 2019 Plan is administered by our board of directors; however, the board of directors may designate administration of the 2019 Plan to a committee consisting of at least two independent directors. Only employees of our Company or of an “Affiliated Company”, as defined in the 2019 Plan, (including members of the board of directors if they are employees of our Company or of an Affiliated Company) are eligible to receive incentive stock options under the 2019 Plan. Employees of our Company or of an Affiliated Company, members of the board of directors (whether or not employed by our company or an Affiliated Company), and “Service Providers”, as defined in the 2019 Plan, are eligible to receive non-qualified options, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights under the 2019 Plan. All awards are subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
No option awards may be exercisable more than ten years after the date it is granted. In the event of termination of employment for cause, the options terminate on the date of employment is terminated. In the event of termination of employment for disability or death, the optionee or administrator of optionee’s estate or transferee has six months following the date of termination to exercise options received at the time of disability or death. In the event of termination for any other reason other than for cause, disability or death, the optionee has 30 days to exercise his or her options.
| 50 |
The 2019 Plan will continue in effect until all the stock available for grant or issuance has been acquired through exercise of options or grants of shares, or until ten years after its adoption, whichever is earlier. Awards under the 2019 Plan may also be accelerated in the event of certain corporate transactions such as a merger or consolidation or the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all our assets.
As of December 31, 2020, the Board had granted 3,060,000 shares Common Stock under the 2019 Plan.
Stock Options
We currently have no outstanding stock options.
Dividend Policy
We have never declared a cash dividend on our common stock and our Board of Directors does not anticipate that we will pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, restrictions contained in our agreements and other factors which our Board of Directors deems relevant.
We are obligated to pay dividends to certain holders of our preferred stock which we pay out of legally available funds from time to time or reach arrangements with our holders of preferred stock to convert limited quantities of preferred stock at favorable conversion prices in lieu of dividend payments.
Transfer Agent
We have appointed Issuer Direct, 1981 East 4800 South, Suite 100, Salt Lake City, UT 84117, to act as transfer agent for the common stock.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Various Provisions of Nevada Law
The Nevada Business Corporation Law contains a provision governing “Acquisition of Controlling Interest.” This law provides generally that any person or entity that acquires 20% or more of the outstanding voting shares of a publicly-held Nevada corporation in the secondary public or private market may be denied voting rights with respect to the acquired shares, unless a majority of the disinterested shareholders of the corporation elects to restore such voting rights in whole or in part. The control share acquisition act provides that a person or entity acquires “control shares” whenever it acquires shares that, but for the operation of the control share acquisition act, would bring its voting power within any of the following three ranges: (1) 20 to 33 1/3%, (2) 33 1/3 to 50%, or (3) more than 50%. A “control share acquisition” is generally defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of either ownership or voting power associated with issued and outstanding control shares. The shareholders or board of directors of a corporation may elect to exempt the stock of the corporation from the provisions of the control share acquisition act through adoption of a provision to that effect in the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the corporation. Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws do not exempt our common stock from the control share acquisition act. The control share acquisition act is applicable only to shares of “Issuing Corporations” as defined by the act. An Issuing Corporation is a Nevada corporation, which; (1) has 200 or more shareholders, with at least 100 of such shareholders being both shareholders of record and residents of Nevada; and (2) does business in Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation.
| 51 |
At this time, we do not have 100 shareholders of record resident of Nevada. Therefore, the provisions of the control share acquisition act do not apply to acquisitions of our shares and will not until such time as these requirements have been met. At such time as they may apply to us, the provisions of the control share acquisition act may discourage companies or persons interested in acquiring a significant interest in or control of the company, regardless of whether such acquisition may be in the interest of our shareholders.
The Nevada “Combination with Interested Stockholders Statute” may also have an effect of delaying or making it more difficult to effect a change in control of the company. This statute prevents an “interested stockholder” and a resident domestic Nevada corporation from entering into a “combination,” unless certain conditions are met. The statute defines “combination” to include any merger or consolidation with an “interested stockholder,” or any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions with an “interested stockholder” having; (1) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation; (2) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation; or (3) representing 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation. An “interested stockholder” means the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting shares of a resident domestic corporation, or an affiliate or associate thereof. A corporation affected by the statute may not engage in a “combination” within three years after the interested stockholder acquires its shares unless the combination or purchase is approved by the board of directors before the interested stockholder acquired such shares. If approval is not obtained, then after the expiration of the three-year period, the business combination may be consummated with the approval of the board of directors or a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders, or if the consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder is at least equal to the highest of: (1) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the three years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which he became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher; (2) the market value per common share on the date of announcement of the combination or the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher; or (3) if higher for the holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock. The effect of Nevada’s business combination law is to potentially discourage parties interested in taking control of the company from doing so if it cannot obtain the approval of our board of directors.
Currently, we have no Nevada shareholders. Further, we do not do business in Nevada directly or through an affiliate corporation and we do not intend to do so. Accordingly, there are no anti-takeover provisions that have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in our control.
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
The Nevada Revised Statutes limits or eliminates the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions under the Nevada Revised Statues and in our articles of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. However, these provisions do not limit or eliminate our rights, or those of any stockholder, to seek non-monetary relief such as injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s fiduciary duties. Moreover, the provisions do not alter the liability of directors under the federal securities laws. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
| 52 |
Authorized but Unissued Shares
Our authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval, except as may be required under the listing rules of any stock exchange on which our Common Stock is then listed. We may use additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Penny Stock Regulation
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share. Such securities are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell them. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. As the Shares immediately following this Offering will likely be subject to such penny stock rules, purchasers in this Offering will in all likelihood find it more difficult to sell their Shares in the secondary market.
Our Shares of common stock subject to the Offering are referred to herein collectively as the “Shares.” The Shares will be sold through our management, who may be considered an underwriter as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Our management will not receive any commission in connection with the sale of Shares, although we may reimburse them for direct expenses incurred by them in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares. We estimate our total offering registration costs to be approximately $84.87 and our legal, auditor, miscellaneous and related fees will be $9,915.13 equaling at total expense to the Company of $10,000 relating to the registration. There is no minimum number of Shares that must be sold by us for the offering to proceed. We will retain any proceeds from the Offering.
Our management will be relying on, and complying with, Rule 3a4-1(a)(4)(ii) of the Exchange Act as a “safe harbor” from registration as a broker-dealer in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares. In order to rely on such “safe harbor” provisions provided by Rule 3a4-1(a) (4) (ii), each must be in compliance with all of the following:
| · | an individual must not be subject to a statutory disqualification; |
| · | an individual must not be compensated in connection with such selling participation by payment of commissions or other payments based either directly or indirectly on such transactions; |
| 53 |
| · | an individual must not be an associated person of a broker-dealer; |
| · | an individual must primarily perform, or is intended primarily to perform at the end of the Offering, substantial duties for or on behalf of the Company otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities; and |
| · | an individual must perform substantial duties for the Company after the close of the Offering not connected with transactions in securities, and not have been an associated person of a broker or dealer for the preceding 12 months, and not participate in selling an offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months. |
Each member of our management will comply with the guidelines enumerated in Rule 3a4-1(a) (4) (ii). Neither our management nor any of their affiliates will be purchasing Shares in the Offering.
You may purchase Shares by completing and manually executing a simple subscription agreement and delivering it with your payment in full for all Shares you wish to purchase to our offices. A copy of the form of that subscription agreement is attached as an exhibit to our registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part. Your subscription shall not become effective until accepted by us and approved by our counsel. Our subscription process is as follows:
| · | this Prospectus, with subscription agreement, is delivered by the Company to each offeree; |

We have authorized capital stock consisting of the following. The total number of shares of capital stock which the Company has the authority to issue is: 1,010,000,000. These shares shall be divided into two classes with 1,000,000,000 shares designated as common stock at $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”) and 10,000,000 shares designated as preferred stock at $0.001 par value (the “Preferred Stock”).The Preferred Stock of the Company is issuable by authority of the Board of Director(s) of the Company in one or more classes or one or more series within any class and such classes or series shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences, limitations or restrictions as the Board of Directors of the Corporation may determine, from time to time. We have 141,825,630 common shares and 26,000 preferred shares outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus.
Common Stock
The holders of outstanding common shares are entitled to receive dividends out of assets or funds legally available for the payment of dividends of such times and in such amounts as the board from time to time may determine. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. There is no cumulative voting of the election of directors then standing for election. The common shares are not entitled to pre-emptive rights and are not subject to conversion or redemption. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets legally available for distribution to stockholders are distributable ratably among the holders of the common shares after payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding payment of other claims of creditors. Each outstanding common share is duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue additional shares of preferred stock in one or more series, and fix for each series, the designation of and number of shares to be included in each such series. Our Board of Directors is also authorized to set the powers, privileges, preferences, and relative participating, optional or other rights, if any, of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of each such series.
Unless our Board of Directors provides otherwise, the shares of all series of preferred stock will rank on parity with respect to the payment of dividends and to the distribution of assets upon liquidation. Any issuance by us of shares of our preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of our control or an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The issuance of preferred stock also could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the holders of common stock or could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of common stock.
Series A Supervoting Preferred Stock
We are authorized to issue up to 25,845 shares of Series A Supervoting Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The shares of Series A Preferred Stock have the following rights and preferences:
Dividends
Initially, there will be no dividends due or payable on the Series A Preferred Stock.
| 56 |
Liquidation Rights
Upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event (as defined below), the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive net assets on a pro-rata basis. Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to receive ratably any dividends declared by the Board, if any, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. As used herein, “Liquidation Event” means (i) the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, whether voluntary or involuntary, of the Company, (ii) the purchase or redemption by the Company of shares of any class of stock or the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other corporation or corporations, or (iii) the sale, license or lease of all or substantially all, or any material part of, the Company’s assets.
Conversion Rights
Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock may voluntarily convert its shares into shares of Common Stock of the Company at a rate of 1:100 (as may be adjusted for any combinations or splits with respect to such shares).
Voting Rights
If at least one share of Series A Preferred Stock is issued and outstanding, then the total aggregate issued shares of Series A Preferred Stock at any given time, regardless of their number, shall have voting rights equal to 20 times the sum of: i) the total number of shares of Common stock which are issued and outstanding at the time of voting, plus ii) the total number of shares of all Series of Preferred stocks which are issued and outstanding at the time of voting.
Each individual share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the voting rights equal to:
[twenty times the sum of: {all shares of Common stock issued and outstanding at the time of voting + all shares of Series A and any newly designated Preferred stock issued and outstanding at the time of voting}]
Divided by:
[the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at the time of voting]
The summary of the rights, privileges and preferences of the Supervoting Preferred Stock described above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designation, a copy of which included as an exhibit to this Prospectus.
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
On November 19, 2020, pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 16, 2020 (the “SPA”), we entered into a new preferred equity financing agreement with GHS Investments, LLC (“GHS”) in the amount of up to $600,000. The SPA provides for GHS’s purchase, from time to time, of up to 600 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”).
As of the date of this Prospectus, we have issued 155 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to GHS pursuant to the SPA.

Our ability to conduct additional closings under the SPA is subject to certain conditions, including the following:

| · | The closing market price for our common stock must be at least $0.01 for each of the 30 trading days preceding each additional closing. |
No additional closings may take place after the two-year anniversary of the SPA, or once the entire $600,000 amount has been funded. If the average daily dollar trading volume for our common stock for the 30 trading days preceding a particular additional closing is at least $50,000 per day, we may, at our option, increase the amount of that additional closing to 75 shares of Preferred Stock ($75,000).
The material features of the Series B Preferred Stock, as set forth in the COD, include the following:
| · | The Preferred Stock is convertible to shares of our common stock at a price equal to the lowest trading price for our common stock during the 25 trading days preceding any conversion; |
| · | Conversions are limited so that no conversion may be made to the extent that, following a conversion, the beneficial ownership of GHS and its affiliates would be more than 4.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock; |
| · | The Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to receive dividends at an annual rate of 12% on the stated value thereof, payable quarterly; |
| · | At our option, dividend payments may be made in cash or by the issuance of additional shares of Preferred Stock, valued at the stated value ($1,200 per share) thereof; |
| · | The Series B Preferred Stock may, at our option, be redeemed by our payment of the stated value thereof with the following premiums based on the time of the redemption: |
| o | 115% of the stated value if the redemption takes place within 90 days of issuance; |
| o | 120% of the stated value if the redemption takes place after 90 days and within 120 days of issuance; |
| o | 125% of the stated value if the redemption takes place after 120 days and within 180 days of issuance; and |
| o | each share of Preferred Stock is redeemed one year from the day of issuance. |
| 58 |
| · | The Series B Preferred Stock will vote together with our common stock on an as-converted basis on all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders, but not in excess of the 4.99% conversion limitation; |
| · | Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to “piggy-back” registration rights, and may, at their option, include the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock in any future registration statement to be filed by us; |
| · | If we fails to timely deliver the required shares of common stock upon a conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, or if we otherwise breach the material covenants of the COD, we will incur significant financial penalties, including, but not limited to, the payment of liquidated damages and the forced redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock at the sum of (a) the greater of (i) 135% of the stated value and (ii) the product of (y) the VWAP on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the triggering event, multiplied by (z) the stated value divided by the then applicable conversion price (b) all accrued but unpaid dividends and (c) all liquidated damages, late fees, and other costs and expenses due (the sum of (a), (b), and (c), the “Triggering Redemption Amount”). The holder may also (i) redeem all of the Series B Preferred Stock through the issuance of shares of common stock equal to the quotient of (x) the Triggering Redemption Amount, divided by (y) the lowest of (1) the conversion price, and (2) 75% of the average of the 10 VWAPs immediately prior to the date of election, and (ii) increase the dividend rate on all of the outstanding Preferred Stock held by the holder retroactively to the initial closing date to 18% per annum thereafter. |
Under additional covenants set forth in the COD, holders of the Series B Preferred Stock enjoy certain other rights, including:
| · | The right to have the conversion price adjusted downward to match the conversion price of any newly-issued variable price convertible security with a conversion price more favorable than that set forth in the COD; |
| · | The right to participate in any future rights offerings; and |
| · | The right to participate in any future financings we may conduct. |

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
On January 16, 2018, Pritchett Siler & Hardy, P.C. (“Pritchett Siler & Hardy”), resigned as principal accountant of IIOT-OXYS, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) due to an acquisition of Pritchett Siler & Hardy by Haynie & Company, Salt Lake City, Utah (“Haynie”). On January 16, 2018 the Company engaged Haynie as the Company’s principal accountant for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. The decision to appoint Haynie as the Company’s principal accountant was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.
Due to the fact that Pritchett Siler & Hardy was appointed as the Company’s principal accountant on August 8, 2017, Pritchett Siler & Hardy did not issue any reports on the Company’s financial statements for either of the past two years.
There were no disagreements between the Company and Pritchett Siler & Hardy, for the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period through January 16, 2018 (date of resignation) on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Pritchett Siler & Hardy, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report. Further, Pritchett Siler & Hardy has not advised the Company that:
| 1) | internal controls necessary to develop reliable financial statements did not exist; or |
| 2) | information has come to the attention of Pritchett Siler & Hardy which made it unwilling to rely upon management’s representations, or made it unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management; or |
| 64 |
| 3) | the scope of the audit should be expanded significantly, or information has come to the attention of Pritchett Siler & Hardy that they have concluded will, or if further investigated, might materially impact the fairness or reliability of a previously issued audit report or the underlying financial statements, or the financial statements issued or to be issued covering the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. |
On January 16, 2018, the Company engaged Haynie as its principal accountant to audit the Company’s financial statements as successor to Pritchett Siler & Hardy. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years or subsequent interim period, the Company has not consulted with Haynie regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, nor did Haynie provide advice to the Company, either written or oral, that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.
Further, during the Company’s two most recent fiscal years or subsequent interim period, the Company has not consulted Haynie on any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event.
The legality of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock offered by this Prospectus will be passed upon for us by Business Legal Advisors, LLC, Draper, Utah.
The financial statements of IIOT-OXYS, Inc. as of December 31, 2019, and 2018, which includes an explanatory paragraph relating to its ability to continue as a going concern, included in this Prospectus have been audited by Hayne & Company, an independent auditor, as stated in their reports appearing herein.

| ITEM 14. | INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS |
Nevada law expressly authorizes a Nevada corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees, and agents against liabilities arising out of such persons’ conduct as directors, officers, employees, or agents if they acted in good faith, in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the company, and, in the case of criminal proceedings, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. Generally, indemnification for such persons is mandatory if such person was successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any such proceeding, or in the defense of any claim, issue, or matter in the proceeding. In addition, as provided in the articles of incorporation, bylaws, or an agreement, the corporation may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by such a person who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final disposition if such person furnishes to the corporation an undertaking to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined that he did not meet the requirements. In order to provide indemnification, unless ordered by a court, the corporation must determine that the person meets the requirements for indemnification. Such determination must be made by a majority of disinterested directors; by independent legal counsel; or by a majority of the shareholders.
| 66 |
Section 9.01 of our Bylaws provides that we will indemnify and hold harmless each person and his or her heirs and administrators who shall serve at any time hereafter as a director or officer of the Company from and against any and all claims, judgments and liabilities to which such person shall become subject by reason of his or her having heretofore or hereafter been a director officer of the Company or by reason of any action alleged to have heretofore or hereafter been taken or admitted to have been taken by him or her as such director or officer and shall reimburse each such persons for all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any such claim or liability, including power to defend such person from all suits or claims as provided for under the laws of the state of Nevada; provided, however, that no such person shall be indemnified against, or be reimbursed for, any expense incurred in connection with any claim or liability arising out of his or her negligence or willful misconduct.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
i. Any Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
ii. Any free writing Prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

5. That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser: Each Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than Prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or Prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the corporation in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by a controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such case.
