The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 unaudited 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, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 12, 2021.
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 condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020, and for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2021.
NOTE 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
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.
| 7 |
| Table of Contents |
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.
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. The Company has one primary customer that has accounted for
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.

| Table of Contents |
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 convertible debentures.
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, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company recognized a loss on contingencies of $
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
There have been no recent accounting pronouncements issued which are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Management continues to monitor and review recently issued accounting guidance upon issuance.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10, which eliminated certain financial reporting requirements of companies previously identified as “Development Stage Entities” (Topic 915). The amendments in this ASU simplify accounting guidance by removing all incremental financial reporting requirements for development stage entities. The amendments also reduce data maintenance and, for those entities subject to audit, audit costs by eliminating the requirement for development stage entities to present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity. Early application of each of the amendments is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued (public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). Upon adoption, entities will no longer present or disclose any information required by Topic 915. The Company has adopted this standard and will not report inception-to-date information.
On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-08 a standard on recognition of revenue from contracts with customers (Topic 606). An issue discussed relates to when another party, along with the entity, is involved in providing a good or a service to a customer. In those circumstances, Topic 606 requires the entity to determine whether the nature of its promise is to provide that good or service to the customer (that is, the entity is a principal) or to arrange for the good or service to be provided to the customer by the other party (that is, the entity is an agent). This determination is based upon whether the entity controls the good or the service before it is transferred to the customer. Topic 606 includes indicators to assist in this evaluation. The Company evaluated all its contracts to determine if the Company was a principal or agent. The Company has determined it was the principal in all its contracts.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU provides clarification regarding how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This ASU addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The issues addressed in this ASU that will affect us is classifying debt prepayments or debt extinguishment costs and contingent consideration payments made after a business combination. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within that reporting period and is to be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our condensed financial position, results of operations and related disclosures for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. Current U.S. GAAP requires an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, the amendments in this update require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in this update apply to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. The current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected by the amendments in this update. The amendments in this update will align the presentation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and are effective for fiscal years after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this ASU as of January 1, 2017 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

| Table of Contents |
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09), which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. The FASB also agreed to allow entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) (ASU 2016-08) which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The guidance includes indicators to assist an entity in determining whether it controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the customers. The new standard further requires new disclosures about contracts with customers, including the significant judgments the company has made when applying the guidance.
In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” ASU 2014-15, which is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2015, extends the responsibility for performing the going-concern assessment to management and contains guidance on how to perform a going-concern assessment and when going-concern disclosures would be required under GAAP. Management’s evaluations regarding the events and conditions that raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern as discussed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere.
We have implemented all other new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact our financial statements and we do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
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 six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 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.

BUSINESS STRATEGY
Industry Overview
Global Warming 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 global warming 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.
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.
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. They have also entered into a “Letter of Intent” on a Turbine Energy Project with a Due Diligence period beginning in the second quarter of 2021.
We have no government contracts at this time, nor are we seeking any. Our retail operations will be primarily business to customer, while our consulting and royalty revenues, when earned, will be primarily, business to business.
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 intend to file a provisional patent with the U.S. Patent Office in the first quarter of 2021 titled Hydrogen Supply Way and Device… This patent will cover intellectual property developed by us in expanding our business opportunities as discussed under Recent Events.
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.
Exclusive Rights License Technology
Turbine Energy Project – is a patented turbine technology invented and owned by Dr. Yuri Abramov “Licensor”, that increases the efficiency of electrical power production triggered by wind. Lift force is generated with relatively low wind force and utilizes changes in temperature and density to generate equivocal force throughout thus creating perpetual flow. The Company has the right of the use of the patented technology on a perpetual basis. The Company will pay a 6% licensing fee until such time as $10 million has been paid to the Licensor at which time the patent shall be transferred to the Company and the Licensor shall receive an option for up to 2% of the total issued and outstanding stock.

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.
Our involvement in development projects since revamping our operations in February of 2021 has provided substantial advancements towards our goal in combating climate change. Securing patents and global development projects; has opened the doors to many alternative green energy solutions.
As we continue to create, secure, develop new clean energy technologies, we understand there is a strong demand from our current administration to revolutionize the green energy sector immediately. Our goal has never been to improve existing technologies limitations; but to seek new technologies to revolutionize the industry.
Working closely with scientists worldwide, our advantage to our mission is our ability to search out and locate innovation. We have the ability to expand upon working inventions with additional patent technologies that we own (or seek to own) to truly create green energy solutions that produce more, cost less, and save our planet from the trajectory that our current energy methods have put us on.
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.
Recent Events
On April 8, 2021, Mr. Michael Pollastro, 37, was appointed to the Board of Directors and President of the Company. Also, effective April 8, 2021, Mr. Vladimir Vasilenko resigned from his position on the Board of Directors and as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and appointed Chief Scientific Officer. Mr. Vaslienko’s resignation was not based on any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
In 2021 the Company has engaged MSP Corporate, a Ukrainian patent agency to file a patent on behalf of the Company for their mobile system for the production of hydrogen and electric energy during the movement of automobiles. We believe our system is more suitable for vehicular applications as it recovers metal sodium produced by means of circulating electrical current. The Company has no projections when this project will be complete, when or if the project will be offered on the market, or if the project will be successful.
In 2020, the Company entered into the initial phase of testing its theory for a sodium-based battery. The study is in conjunction with a Scientific School in Kazakhstan. The study’s focus is of electrochemical processes in biological objects. The Company believes that the transfer rate of sodium ions in our solid electrolyte is sufficient to provide power to the vehicle. The Company has divided the project into three phases. The end result will be the testing of a sodium-based battery on a light chassis. The Company has no projections when this project will be complete, when or if the project will be offered on the market, or if the project will be successful. The cost associated with this project has been minimal to date; however, we expect the initial investment to develop this will be greater than we can self-fund. We are actively seeking to raise capital through private placement exempt from registration under Rule 506(c).
In December 2020, the Company began developing and designing an ECO APP for calculating, assessing, monitoring CO2 emissions and reforestation of affected areas. The application will use satellite imaging and other remote-sensing technologies to measure real time atmospheric CO2 being absorbed and stored by trees and other plants across the USA and Europe. The Company is still evaluating revenue potential opportunities associated with this initiative. The Company has no projections when this project will be complete, when or if the project will be offered on the market, or if the project will be successful.
On December 11, 2020 the Company announced it was relocating its headquarters to Temecula, California in January 2021. In February 2021 we relocated to Temecula, California.
On December 5, 2020 the Company converted all its outstanding debt into common stock. Total debt converted was $531,203 at the conversion price of $2.13 per share. An additional two million shares were issued to three debt holders as settlement for converting at $2.13 per share instead of $0.01 as outlined in their various debt instruments. Under the conversions, Paul Rosenberg was issued 1,155,585 shares of common stock, Epic Industry Corp was issued 550,606 shares of common stock and Overwatch Partners, Inc., was issued 523,899 shares of common stock.
On December 3, 2020 the Company incorporated Alterna Motors, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Subsequently, Alterna Motors entered into a letter of intent with Classic Electro, LLC, based in Grodno, Belorussia. It is in the intent of the parties for Alterna Motors to be the American and Canadian distributor of Classic Electro’s retrofitting engine concept and universal electric mobility installation kit. The Company has no assurances at this time that this project will be implemented, that an actual agreement will be entered into, or if this project will be successful. In addition, Alterna Motors is developing a line of three-wheeled, all electric local delivery vehicles for use in the USA and Europe. The Company has no assurances at this time that this project will be implemented, that an actual agreement will be entered into, or if this project will be successful. The cost associated with this project has been minimal to date; however, we expect the initial investment to develop this will be greater than we can self-fund. We are actively seeking to raise capital through private placement exempt from registration under Rule 506(c).

On November 17, 2020 the Company’s CEO cancelled 12 million shares he owned in the Company. The CEO received no compensation for such cancellation.
On October 26, 2020 the Company established an advisory committee. The advisory committee consists of seven members with expertise in the global warming communities. Each member has agreed to serve on the advisory committee for 2 years. The goal of the advisory committee is to make recommendations to the company and its scientist in matters within the areas of their experience and expertise, based upon the members’ reasonable research, study, and analysis. Compensation for serving on the advisory committee has is determined by the board of directors on an individual by individual basis based upon the experience, knowledge and negotiated value. The advisory committee will meet three times per year.
