Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Global Warming Solutions, Inc. (“Company”) is an Oklahoma corporation headquartered in California that develops technologies that help mitigate man-made climate change while maintaining a retail operation. The Company was formerly known as Southern Investments, Inc., and was domiciled in Oklahoma. On April 15, 2007, the company changed its name to Global Warming Solutions, Inc., and moved its headquarters to the commonwealth of Canada. In February 2021 we relocated to Temecula, California.
The Company was incorporated on March 30, 1999, as Southern Investments, Inc. and has not been in bankruptcy, receivership or any similar proceeding. The Company has never been classified as a shell company.
On April 15, 2007, Southern Investments, Inc. acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Global Warming Technologies, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation, in exchange for
On October 23, 2019, the Company acquired the domain name, “www.cbd.biz” and other intangible assets from Paul Rosenberg and Overwatch Partners, Inc., for $
On May 8, 2021, the company ceased all operations relating to CBD sales. The website “www.cbd.biz” has since been shut down. All operations pertaining to CBD sales have been divested and discontinued. The domain and all other assets associated with CBD sales was transferred to Green Holistic Solutions, Inc., in exchange for 18 million shares of Green Holistic Solutions, Inc. Green Holistic Solutions, Inc., is controlled by Paul Rosenberg and Michael Hawkins, both of whom are a significant shareholder of the Company.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on April 14, 2023.
In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2023.
NOTE 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The most significant estimates include revenue recognition; sales returns and other allowances; allowance for doubtful accounts; valuation of inventory; valuation and recoverability of long-lived assets; property and equipment; contingencies; and income taxes.
On a regular basis, management reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition Policies
We earn revenue from the sale of products.
Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
| 7 |
| Table of Contents |
We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:
| · | identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; |
| · | identification of the performance obligations in the contract; |
| · | determination of the transaction price; |
| · | allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
| · | recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation. |
Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and accounts receivable. The Company places its temporary cash investments with financial institutions insured by the FDIC.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables and commodities are limited due to the diverse group of customers to whom the Company provides services to. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts when events and circumstances regarding the collectability of its receivables or the selling of its commodities warrant based upon factors such as the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, other information and past bad debt history. The outstanding balances are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.
Our cash balances are maintained in accounts held by major banks and financial institutions located in the United States. The Company may occasionally maintain amounts on deposit with a financial institution that are in excess of the federally insured limit of $
The Company had $
Cost of Goods Sold
The Company recognizes the direct cost of purchasing product for sale, including freight-in and packaging, as cost of goods sold in the accompanying statement of operations.
Accounts Receivable
The Company’s accounts receivable are trade accounts receivable. The Company recognized $
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
The Company follows ASC Topic 260 – Earnings Per Share, and FASB 2015-06, Earnings Per Share to account for earnings per share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation.
Basic net earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common stock equivalent shares consist of convertible debentures.

| Table of Contents |
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company reports and accounts for its commitments and contingencies in accordance with ASC 440 – Commitments and ASC 450 – Contingencies. We recognize a loss on a contingency when it is probable a loss will incur and that the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company recognized a loss on contingencies of $
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For information on recently issued accounting pronouncements, if any, refer to Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies in our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
NOTE 3. Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Because the business is new and has a limited history, no certainty of continuation can be stated. The accompanying financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022 have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company suffered losses from operations in all years since inception, and has a nominal working capital surplus, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management is taking steps to raise additional funds to address its operating and financial cash requirements to continue operations in the next twelve months. Management has devoted a significant amount of time in the raising of capital from additional debt and equity financing. However, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional funds through debt and equity financing and generating revenue. There are no assurances the Company will receive the necessary funding or generate revenue necessary to fund operations. The financial statements contain no adjustments for the outcome of this uncertainty.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, in connection with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements Such forward-looking statements include statements about our expectations, beliefs or intentions regarding our potential product offerings, business, financial condition, results of operations, strategies or prospects. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. Rather, forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends or results as of the date they are made and are often identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” or “will,” and similar expressions or variations.

Development of Business
Global Warming Solutions, Inc. (“Company”) is an Oklahoma corporation headquartered in California that develops technologies that help mitigate global warming while maintaining a retail operation in CBD products. The Company was formerly known as Southern Investments, Inc., and was domiciled in Oklahoma. On April 15, 2007, the company changed its name to Global Warming Solutions, Inc., and moved its headquarters to the commonwealth of Canada. In February 2021 we relocated to Temecula, California.
The Company was incorporated on March 30, 1999, as Southern Investments, Inc. and has not been in bankruptcy, receivership or any similar proceeding. The Company has never been classified as a shell company.
On April 15, 2007, Southern Investments, Inc. acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Global Warming Technologies, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation, in exchange for 55,000,000 shares of Southern Investments, Inc. common stock. Following the acquisition, Southern Investments, Inc. changed its name to Global Warming Solutions, Inc and the Company implemented a 1 for 10 reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock that took effect on July 6, 2007.
From 2007-2017 the Company was conducting testing of its fertilizer product made with Humate Coated Urea (HCU) with various farmers in Canada. Recently the Company has begun a pilot program in New Zealand with Carbon Company, LTD. Originally, the Company obtained 11.8% of Carbon Company, LTD which was transferred to the Company’s CEO as compensation for work performed on behalf of the Company prior to 2018.
On October 23, 2019, the Company acquired the domain name “www.cbd.biz” and certain other intangible assets in exchange for a convertible promissory note for $100,000 and began offering hemp-based cannabinoid (“CBD”) products through this website.
On May 8, 2021, the company ceased all operations relating to CBD sales. The website “www.cbd.biz” has since been shut down. All operations pertaining to CBD sales have been divested and discontinued. The domain and all other assets associated with CBD sales was transferred to Green Holistic Solutions, Inc., in exchange for 18 million shares of Green Holistic Solutions, Inc. Green Holistic Solutions, Inc., is controlled by Paul Rosenberg and Michael Hawkins, both of whom are a significant shareholder of the Company.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s total assets are $189,193. These assets are comprised primarily of $3,541 in marketable securities, $71,567 in other current assets, $17,627 in furniture and equipment, $9,050 in leasehold improvements, $9,355 in intangible assets, $71,804 investment in Green Holistic, and $6,250 deposits. Our independent registered public accounting firm issued its report connection with the audit of our financial statements for the periods of January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2022, which included an explanatory paragraph in Note 3 describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Thus far, GWSO management has relied on capital loans and equity investments for the purpose of growing the business. Without continued loans or equity investments, we will not have the necessary capital required to execute our business plan and grow our business. Management has estimated that the costs associated with implementation of its business plan over the next twelve months include, but are not limited to, payroll, consulting, marketing and general administration of $1,000,000 (which expenses will be satisfied by means other than available cash expenditure, such as, but not limited to, equity or profit-sharing arrangements) and sales.

BUSINESS STRATEGY
Industry Overview
Climate Change Industry
Typically, executives manage environmental risk as a threefold problem of i) regulatory compliance, ii) potential liability for industrial accidents, and iii) pollutant release mitigation. But climate change presents business risks that are different in kind because the impact is global, the problem is long-term, and the harm is essentially irreversible.
The market for climate change solutions is highly competitive and rapidly evolving, resulting in a dynamic competitive environment with several dominant national and multi-national leaders. The Company will have to compete with established corporations that have substantially greater financial, marketing, technical and human resource capabilities. Such competition may be able to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns, adopt more aggressive distribution policies and make more attractive offers to potential clients. The Company expects competition to persist and intensify in the future.
Management believes that there is an increasing demand for money-making ideas created by the warming of our planet and that products and services that slow the flow of greenhouse gases by using less energy or by substituting clean energy for fossil fuels are in great demand.
The company’s plan is focused on introducing our patented device that stores power, creates oxygen, and produces hydrogen. We will create and sell this product initially focusing on DOD, and DOE as existing relationships through our partners make these entities the easiest path to market.
An initial product and services offering will help meet the growing demand for more efficient and clean energy solutions. Our product is unique in that it is capable of generating electricity from a renewable source, creating oxygen, and producing hydrogen on demand from an electro chemical reaction. We anticipate this product will be in high demand for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. We plan to launch this product and service offering in the markets of the United States and Europe, but have the ability to increase market share by expanding to markets in Asia and developing countries. We have identified the right personnel and developed a strategy to achieve success. It is the company’s belief that profits will begin to be realized once we can begin the manufacturing process.
Our company offers a product that generates power, oxygen, and hydrogen on demand.
Battery power and hydrogen production are essential to the world because they provide a clean and efficient source of energy. Our battery technology differs in that it is not an accumulator of energy but rather a production unit capable of storing energy through an electrochemical process allowing for easy access when needed. Our unit also produces Hydrogen on demand production, which on the other hand, allows for the storage of energy in a form that can be easily transported in order to be used elsewhere. Hydrogen can also be used to power vehicles, replacing the need for traditional fossil fuels. Both battery power and hydrogen production provide the world with renewable and clean sources of energy, reducing emissions and helping to combat climate change. The primary downside of hydrogen power sources is the difficulty and expense associated with producing, storing, and transporting hydrogen fuel, as well as the current lack of refueling infrastructure.
Hydrogen fuel cells are also fairly expensive compared to other forms of renewable energy, and many of the components used in the production of hydrogen fuel are petroleum-based, making it a less environmentally friendly option. The use of hydrogen as an energy source can have both positive and negative impacts on the planet. On the positive side, hydrogen has the potential to be a clean and renewable energy source, since it can be produced through renewable energy sources and when used in a fuel cell, it only produces water as a byproduct. On the negative side, producing and transporting hydrogen (especially in the early stages of its development) can have significant emissions of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, which contribute to climate change. Additionally, when produced from non-renewable resources, like natural gas, it might contribute to air pollution and other types of pollution.

Our product is an on-demand hydrogen and oxygen generator powered by a battery storage system. It is an advanced technology solution for any user’s energy storage and supply needs. This system produces clean hydrogen and oxygen gas on demand, and stores the energy generated in a battery. This stored energy can be used to power vehicles and homes, or other industrial processes; allowing users to be able to make use of the energy whenever and however they need. As an added benefit, the hydrogen and oxygen produced by this device are entirely renewable and free from toxic emissions. This system is both affordable and easy to use, making it an ideal solution for personal, industrial, and commercial needs. The marketing strategy for this product will be focused on building relationships with prime defense contractors and government agencies that are active in the defense industry. Sales staff should work to continually build and strengthen these relationships by providing demonstrations of the product’s capabilities, offering customized solutions to fit their needs, and regularly following up on existing contracts. In addition to the direct sales approach, we recommend engaging in other outreach initiatives such as attending trade shows, running media campaigns, and engaging in thought leadership initiatives such as contributing articles or panel discussions at industry events. Through these initiatives, our focus should continue to be on building and reinforcing relationships that can result in government contracts. We can license our technology to the auto industry in a variety of ways. We can offer license agreements with terms and conditions that best fit the needs of our customers. There are different types of license agreements we can consider such as an End-User License Agreement (EULA), a Subscription License Agreement, an Implementation License Agreement, or an Evaluation Agreement. It is important to consider the legal aspects of our technology, such as intellectual property rights and the confidentiality of any data collected, when licensing it to third parties. Additionally, we can provide a range of services, such as support and maintenance, to make sure our licensees have an easy and successful experience with our technology. in our local area, as well as online through our website. Our products will be competitively priced, and we plan to offer customer service and warranties to our customers. Additionally, we will be investing in digital marketing campaigns to reach new customers and increase our brand awareness.
Description of Business
Our current business strategy is to generate revenue through three basic options: i) consulting fees, ii) royalty fees, and iii) retail sales.
Principal Products
Currently the company has initiated research and development on Hydrogen Fuel Cell Batteries which they expect to compete directly with the current Lithium-Ion market.
We have no government contracts currently. However, we are investigating government programs, grants, and initiatives that align with our technology. Our retail operations will be primarily business to customer, while our consulting and royalty revenues, when earned, will be primarily business to business.
Customers
There were no customers for the year ended December 31, 2022. Approximately 93% of our sales for the year ended December 31, 2021, were generated from one client in the country of Hungary.
Patents, Trademarks, Trade Secrets, and Other Intellectual Property
In order to generate revenue from royalties and consulting, we have been developing technologies for future use and development. There are no assurances any of these items currently identified as research and development will materialize or generate revenue for the Company.
We have created various formulas and processes we intend to patent and/or copyright for future use and licensing. The following list comprise our intellectual property:
Pick-Up-Oil – is a proprietary carbon sorbent for oil collection. Under the process, the airborne sorbent is discharged in the oil slick and after absorbing the oil is collected. The product is then extracted from the oil and available for secondary use.
Hybrid Electrochemical Energy System – is a patented battery system employing advanced manufacturing techniques for solid state electrolytes. With large capacity anode due to special design creating higher specific energy due to air oxygen acting as a depolarizer we expect much quicker charging times and far cheaper manufacturing costs.
Growth Strategy
We anticipate growth in our operations through normal acceptance of our products, through the licensing of our technologies and intellectual properties, and through acquisitions when deemed in the best interest of our shareholders.

Competition
The Company competes with other industry participants, including those in global warming products and services. Market and financial conditions, and other conditions beyond the Company’s control may make it more attractive for prospective customers to transact business with other entities.
Our potential competitors may have greater resources, longer histories, more developed intellectual property, and lower costs of operations. Other companies also may enter into business combinations or alliances that strengthen their competitive positions.
