HNO INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2024
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
Organization
HNO International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 2, 2005 under the name American Bonanza Resources Limited. On August 4, 2009, the Company acquired Clenergen Corporation Limited (UK), a United Kingdom corporation (“Limited”), and succeeded to the business of Limited. Limited acquired the assets of Rootchange Limited, a biofuel and biomass research and development company, in April 2009. On March 19, 2009, the Company changes its name to Clenergen Corporation. On July 8, 2020, the Company changed its name to Excoin Ltd. and on August 31, 2021, the Company changed its name to HNO International, Inc. its current name.
The Company specializes in the design, integration, and development of green hydrogen-based clean energy technologies. With the Company’s management having over 13 years of experience in the field of green hydrogen production, the Company is committed to providing scalable products that help businesses and communities decarbonize, reduce emissions, and cut operational costs. HNO stands for Hydrogen and Oxygen. The Company is at the forefront of developing innovative solutions, such as the Compact Hydrogen Refueling System (CHRS) and the Compact Hydrogen Production System (CHPS), which can be used to produce green hydrogen for various applications including fuel cell electric vehicles, hydrogen internal combustion engines, heating, and cooking. The CHPS is highly scalable, capable of producing 100-2,000 (or more) kilograms of hydrogen per day for commercial use in various applications. In addition, the Company develops energy systems that complement the zero-emissions EV infrastructure, reduce harmful emissions, and cut maintenance costs of commercial diesel fleets. By integrating components from leading industry partners, the Company aims to transition fossil fuels to cleaner alternatives and promote lower emissions.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the nine months ended July 31, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The management makes its best estimate of the outcome for these items based on information available when the condensed financial statements are prepared.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 addresses all forms of share-based payment (“SBP”) awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans and stock incentive shares. Under ASC 718 awards result in a cost that is measured at fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will result in a charge to operations.
| 9 |
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard’s stated core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, ASC 606 includes provisions within a five-step model that includes identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.
During the nine months ended
July 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had revenue of $
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average.
Number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of shares issuable through the common stock equivalents. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost and, less accumulated depreciation. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposal. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of property and equipment when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.
The Company’s property and equipment mainly consists of computer and laser equipment. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
| Schedule of estimated useful lives | ||
| Useful life | ||
| Small equipment | ||
| Large equipment | ||
| Vehicles |
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of patents acquired in an
asset purchase agreement (see Note 5). The estimated useful life of these assets was determined to be
| 10 |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of a long-lived asset, management evaluates whether the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows from the asset are less than its carrying amount. If impairment is indicated, the long-lived asset would be written down to fair value. Fair value is determined by an evaluation of available price information at which assets could be bought or sold, including quoted market prices, if available, or the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on reasonable and supportable assumptions.
Leases
The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). At contract inception, the Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease. Where the Company is the lessee, for each lease with a term greater than twelve months, the Company records a right-of-use asset and lease liability. A right-of-use asset represents the economic benefit conveyed to the Company by the right to use the underlying asset over the lease term. A lease liability represents the obligation to make lease payments arising from the use of the asset over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the lease liability is calculated at lease commencement as the present value of unpaid lease payments using the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate represents the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term and is determined using a portfolio approach based on information available at the commencement date of the lease. Leases with an initial expected term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the Balance Sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
On July 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of
$
Based on the above factors, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of these condensed financial statements.

NOTE 6 – LEASES
Operating leases
The Company has an operating lease agreement for office space in Murrieta, California, expiring on November 30, 2026.
The Company has active operating lease arrangements for office space. The Company is typically required to make fixed minimum rent payments relating to its right to use the underlying leased assets. The Company was required to classify such leases as operating leases in accordance with the provisions of ASC 842. Therefore, the Company recognized operating lease liabilities with corresponding Right-Of-Use ("ROU") assets based on the present value of the minimum rental payments of such leases.
As most of the Company’s leases do not provide
an implicit interest rate, the lease liability is calculated at lease commencement as the present value of unpaid lease payments using
the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate represents the rate of interest that the Company
would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term and is determined using
a portfolio approach based on information available at the commencement date of the lease. As of July 31, 2024, the ROU asset was $
Operating Cash Flows Related to Leases
During the nine months ended July 31, 2024, the Company made cash payments totaling $844 related to its operating leases. These payments are included in the Condensed Statement of Cash Flows under operating activities as "Payments of lease liabilities."

On July 10, 2023, the Company entered into a Simple
Agreement for Future Equity (the “SAFE”) with Varea, Inc. ("Varea"), a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to the SAFE,
the Company is investing $
Prior to entering into this SAFE, the Company had an existing financial arrangement with Varea LLC, whereby Varea LLC invoiced the Company for services rendered, which were recorded as expenses by HNOI. However, recognizing the potential for a more mutually beneficial arrangement, Varea Inc. proposed a revised approach. Under the newly proposed approach, Varea Inc. would submit a detailed budget outlining their anticipated monthly expenses, and HNO International, Inc. would view these expenses as an investment opportunity rather than mere costs. In exchange for funding Varea Inc.'s expenses, HNO International, Inc. would receive a post-money SAFE, which represents a future right to certain shares of Varea's Capital Stock. The transition from the previous invoicing system to the investment-based financial arrangement was agreed by both parties. The terms and conditions of the agreement, including the conversion of expenses into a potential future return on investment, were thoroughly assessed and discussed.

On December 6, 2023, the SAFE was terminated as part of a Mutual Release Agreement between HNO International, Inc., and Varea, Inc. Under the terms of this Mutual Release Agreement, the intellectual property related to the prototype Compact Hydrogen Refueling Station (CHRS), developed with the funds provided under the SAFE, was retained by HNO International, Inc.

This is attributable to the Company’s efforts to expand operations, which resulted in increased costs related to contract labor and general and administrative expenses. As 2024 progressed, we experienced a significant increase in hiring contract labor to support our Research and Development program. We also expanded our staff to support increased sales and marketing efforts.
Net Loss
Net loss for the nine months ended July 31, 2024, was $1,584,438 compared to a net loss of $962,028 during the same period in 2023.
General and Administrative, and Contract Labor Expenses
General and Administrative, and Contract Labor expenses were $1,440,197 for the nine months ended July 31, 2024, as compared to $927,082 during the same period in 2023. Operating expenses changed due to the Company’s efforts to expand operations, resulting in increased costs related to contract labor and general and administrative expenses.
Forward-Looking Considerations
The Company recognizes the possibility of future increases in labor or material costs. Factors such as evolving market conditions, potential inflation, and global economic dynamics are considered. We are actively monitoring these aspects to anticipate and navigate any forthcoming rises in labor or material expenses.
Cost-to-Revenue - The Company is assessing alterations in the relationship between cost of sales and revenue. We are examining the factors influencing these changes, including shifts in prices and fluctuations in the volume of services sold. Understanding the impact of these elements is crucial for maintaining a balanced and effective cost-to-revenue structure.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We incurred a net loss for the three months ended July 31, 2024 of $496,621 and had an accumulated deficit of $43,194,383 at July 31, 2024. At July 31, 2024, we had a cash balance of $78,917, compared to a cash balance of $235,159 at October 31, 2023. At July 31, 2024, the working capital deficit was $1,649,621, compared to a working capital deficit of $553,284 at October 31, 2023. Our existing and available capital resources are not expected to be sufficient to satisfy our funding requirements through one year from the date of this filing in the absence of share issuances or other sources of financing.
We have not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund our ongoing operations. We have raised capital through sales of common stock and debt securities.
The effect of existing or probable government regulations on our business is not known at this time. Due to the nature of our business, it is anticipated that there may be increasing government regulation that may cause us to have to take serious corrective actions or make changes to the business plan.
There are no external sources of liquidity available to the Company at this time. The Company will need to raise additional capital through equity financings or other means in order to continue operations and meet its obligations. Failure to obtain additional funding could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the results of operations.
Cash Flow
For the Nine Months Ended July 31, 2024 and 2023
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated below:
For the Nine Months Ended July 31, 2024 | For the Nine Months Ended July 31, 2023 | |||||||
| Cash Used in Operating Activities | $ | (1,380,178 | ) | $ | (904,365 | ) | ||
| Cash Provided by Financing Activities | 1,592,612 | 2,505,832 | ||||||
| Net cash used in investing activities | $ | (368,676 | ) | $ | (425,880 | ) | ||
| 20 |
Cash Used in Operating Activities
During the nine months ended July 31, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $(1,380,178), primarily reflecting our net losses for the period, adjusted by non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization, as well as changes in our working capital accounts. These changes mainly consisted of an increase in accrued interest payable, payroll taxes, and accounts payable, a decrease in the security deposit, and the settlement of a receivable from HNO Hydrogen Generators. The receivable, totaling $56,392, was fully settled through a transfer of equipment in connection with a settlement agreement effective April 15, 2024. The settlement agreement involved the transfer of large equipment valued at $32,327 and small equipment valued at $24,065.
During the nine months ended July 31, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $(904,365), primarily reflecting our net losses for the period, adjusted by non-cash charges of depreciation and amortization, as well as an increase in accrued interest payable and payroll taxes.
Cash Used in Financing Activities
During the nine months ended July 31, 2024, cash provided by financing activities was $1,592,612, which consisted of proceeds from related party advances of $800,585, proceeds from the sale of common stock and proceeds from the sale of common stock of $706,429.
During the nine months ended July 31, 2023, cash provided by financing activities was $2,505,832, which consisted of proceeds from related party notes payable of $235,000 and proceeds from the sale of common stock of $2,264,032.
Cash Provided by Investing Activities
During the nine months ended July 31, 2024, cash used in investing activities was $(368,676), which consisted of the purchase of property and equipment and long-term assets.
During the nine months ended July 31, 2023, cash used in investing activities was $(425,880), which consisted of the purchase of plant and equipment.
Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the nine months ended July 31, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,584,438 and used cash in operating activities of $1,380,178, and on July 31, 2024, had stockholders’ deficit of $984,711. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and the classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
Management is actively seeking additional sources of capital through the sale of equity, advances from related parties, and exploring strategic partnerships. The Company is also focused on attracting suitable investors to support its business plan without relying heavily on existing cash reserves. Additionally, management is implementing cost-saving measures and exploring opportunities to diversify through acquisitions or entering into new markets. However, there can be no assurance that these efforts will result in sufficient funding, and the Company may continue to face substantial uncertainty regarding its ability to achieve profitable operations and sustain its business.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements with any party.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon our condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventories, valuation of intangible assets and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
| 21 |
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock incentive awards issued to employees and non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation. Accordingly, stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award. Stock-based awards to employees are recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, or upon the occurrence of certain vesting events. Additionally, stock-based awards to non-employees are expensed over the period in which the related services are rendered.
DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Paragraph 815-15-25-1 the conversion feature and certain other features are considered embedded derivative instruments, such as a conversion reset provision, a penalty provision and redemption option, which are to be recorded at their fair value as its fair value can be separated from the convertible note and its conversion is independent of the underlying note value. The Company records the resulting discount on debt related to the conversion features at initial transaction and amortizes the discount using the effective interest rate method over the life of the debt instruments. The conversion liability is then marked to market each reporting period with the resulting gains or losses shown in the statements of operations.
In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
The Company follows ASC Section 815-40-15 (“Section 815-40-15”) to determine whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to the Company’s own stock. Section 815-40-15 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions.
The Company evaluates its convertible debt, options, warrants or other contracts, if any, to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 810-10-05-4 and Section 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as either an asset or a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or cancellation of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion, exercise or cancellation and then that the related fair value is reclassified to equity.
The Company utilizes the binomial option pricing model to compute the fair value of the derivative and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date. The binomial option pricing model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the remaining contractual term of the instrument granted.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The provisions of ASC 606 include a five-step process by which we determine revenue recognition, depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts reflecting the payment to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 requires us to apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, we satisfy the performance obligation. We recognize revenue for the sale of our products upon delivery to a customer.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This update amends the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity and improves and amends the related EPS guidance for both Subtopics. This standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, which means it will be effective for our fiscal year beginning October 31, 2024. Early adoption is permitted but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on our financial statements.
| 22 |
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.
PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS
The Company is not anticipating any transactions.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES INCLUDING INITIAL ADOPTION
There were no recent accounting pronouncements that have or will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The main risks of the Company’s financial instruments are exposed to are credit risk, market risk, foreign exchange risk, and liquidity risk.
OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA
As of July 31, 2024, the following securities were outstanding:
Common stock: 410,739,392 shares
Series A Preferred Stock: 10,000,000
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a Smaller Reporting Company, as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by our company in reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities Exchange Commission and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our company's management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both United States generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines. Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated.
We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending October 31, 2024, subject to obtaining additional financing: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out above are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
| 23 |
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 31, 2024 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
