PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
IIOT-OXYS, INC.
18,000,000 Shares of Common Stock
The selling stockholder identified in this Prospectus may offer an indeterminate number of shares of its common stock, which will consist of up to 18,000,000 shares of common stock to be sold by GHS Investments LLC (“GHS”) pursuant to an Equity Financing Agreement (the “Equity Financing Agreement”) dated July 29, 2020. If issued presently, the 18,000,000 shares of common stock registered for resale by GHS would represent 11.26% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of September 25, 2020. Additionally, the 18,000,000 shares of our common stock registered for resale herein would represent approximately 14.08% of the Company’s public float (all current free-trading shares).
The selling stockholder may sell all or a portion of the shares being offered pursuant to this Prospectus at fixed prices and prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices, or at negotiated prices. See the section of this Prospectus entitled “Plan of Distribution” for additional information.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock by GHS. We will sell shares to GHS at a price equal to 80% of the lowest traded price of our common stock during the ten consecutive trading day period preceding the date on which we deliver a put notice to GHS (the “Purchase Price”). There will be a minimum of ten trading days between put notices.
GHS is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
Our common stock is traded on OTCQB Markets under the symbol “ITOX.” On September 25, 2020, the reported closing price for our common stock was $0.0103 per share.
This offering is highly speculative, and these securities involve a high degree of risk and should be considered only by persons who can afford the loss of their entire investment. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 8. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
The date of this Prospectus is October 5, 2020.
You may only rely on the information contained in this Prospectus or that we have referred you to. We have not authorized any person to give you any supplemental information or to make any representations for us. This Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities other than the Common Stock offered by this Prospectus. This Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any Common Stock in any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. Neither the delivery of this Prospectus nor any sale made in connection with this Prospectus shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in our affairs since the date of this Prospectus is correct as of any time after its date. You should not rely upon any information about our company that is not contained in this Prospectus. Information contained in this Prospectus may become stale. You should not assume the information contained in this Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement is accurate as of any date other than their respective dates, regardless of the time of delivery of this Prospectus, any Prospectus supplement or of any sale of the shares. Our business, financial condition, results of operations, and Prospects may have changed since those dates. The selling stockholders are offering to sell and seeking offers to buy shares of our common stock only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted.

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus and does not contain all of the information that you should consider in making your investment decision. Before investing in our common stock, you should carefully read this entire Prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes and the information set forth under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in each case included elsewhere in this Prospectus.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company” in this Prospectus mean IIOT-OXYS, Inc. on a consolidated basis with its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
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, continued to realize revenues during 2018 and 2019, and expects to realize revenue growth in 2020 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.
| 3 |
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 Pink under the symbol “ITOX.”

Employees
We currently have four employees, all on W2’s, including the CEO, COO and CTO. All employees are currently part time.
GHS Equity Financing Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement
On July 29, 2020, we entered into the Equity Financing Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”) with GHS. Under the terms of the Equity Financing Agreement, GHS agreed to provide the Company with up to $5,000,000 upon effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).
Following effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company shall have the discretion to deliver puts (each, a “Put”) to GHS and GHS will be obligated to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) based on the investment amount specified in each Put notice. The maximum amount that the Company shall be entitled to put to GHS in each Put notice shall not be less than $10,000 nor exceed $400,000 and any single drawdown may not exceed 200% of the average daily trading dollar volume of the Company’s Common Stock during the ten trading days preceding the Put. Pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement, GHS and its affiliates will not be permitted to purchase shares, and the Company may not request Puts from GHS, that would result in GHS’s beneficial ownership equaling more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. The price of each share in a Put shall be equal to 80% of the Purchase Price. There will be a minimum of ten trading days between Puts. Puts may be delivered by the Company to GHS until (i) the earlier of thirty-six (36) months after the date of the Equity Financing Agreement, (ii) the date on which GHS has purchased an aggregate of $5,000,000 worth of Common Stock under the terms of the Equity Financing Agreement; (iii) upon mutual termination of the Equity Financing Agreement; or (iv) such time the Registration Statement is no longer in effect. In accordance with the Equity Financing Agreement, the Company issued to GHS a commitment promissory note in the principal amount of $75,000 in order to offset transaction costs (the “Commitment Note”). In addition to the Commitment Note, the Company also issued to GHS a promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000.
The Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Company shall (i) use its best efforts to file with the Commission the Registration Statement within 45 days of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement; and (ii) use reasonable commercial efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission within 30 days after the date the Registration Statement is filed with the Commission, but in no event more than 90 days after the Registration Statement is filed.

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 or those of our suppliers, 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.
| 6 |
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 come from a small number of customers and a reduction in demand or loss of one or more of our significant customers may adversely affect our business.
At the present time, we are dependent on a small number of direct customers for most of our business, revenue and results of operations. We at present have customers in the civil infrastructure sector, and the pharmaceutical sector. Our customers are a state government and a large pharmaceutical company. To date, these customers have 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. Although we believe that our relationships with our major customers are good, we generally do not have long-term contracts with any of them, which is typical of our industry. In addition, orders can be, and often are, rescheduled, canceled and modified with little or no notice. 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. 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.
| 7 |
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.
| 8 |
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. |
| 10 |
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; |
| · | 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 significant 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.
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. 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.
| 13 |
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, none of which 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 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. Preferred shares issued by our board of directors could include voting rights, or even super voting rights, which could shift the ability to control our company to the holders of our preferred stock. 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 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.
| 15 |
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.
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 pursuant to the GHS Equity Financing Agreement.
The sale of our common stock to GHS Investments LLC in accordance with the Equity Financing Agreement may have a dilutive impact on our shareholders. As a result, the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is at the time we exercise our put options, the more shares of our common stock we will have to issue to GHS in order to exercise a put under the Equity Financing Agreement. 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.
| 16 |
The issuance of shares pursuant to the GHS Equity Financing Agreement may have a significant dilutive effect.
Depending on the number of shares we issue pursuant to the GHS Financing Agreement, it could have a significant dilutive effect upon our existing shareholders. Although the number of shares that we may issue pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement will vary based on our stock price (the higher our stock price, the less shares we have to issue), there may be a potential dilutive effect to our shareholders, based on different potential future stock prices, if the full amount of the Equity Financing Agreement is realized. Dilution is based upon common stock put to GHS and the stock price discounted to GHS’s Purchase Price.
GHS will pay less than the then-prevailing market price of our common stock which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
Our common stock to be issued under the Equity Financing Agreement will be purchased at a 20% discount, or 80% of the lowest traded price for the Company’s common stock during the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding each Put.
GHS has a financial incentive to sell our shares immediately upon receiving them to realize the profit between the discounted price and the market price. If GHS sells our shares, the price of our common stock may decrease. If our stock price decreases, GHS may have further incentive to sell such shares. Accordingly, the discounted sales price in the Equity Financing Agreement may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
We may not have access to the full amount under the financing agreement.
The lowest trading price for the ten days ended September 25, 2020 was $0.0098. At that price we would be able to sell shares to GHS under the Equity Financing Agreement at the discounted price of $0.00784. At that discounted price, the 18,000,000 shares would only represent $141,120, which is far below the full amount of the Equity Financing Agreement. In addition, any single drawdown must be at least $10,000 and cannot exceed $400,000 and any single drawdown may not exceed 200% of the average daily trading dollar volume of the Company’s Common Stock during the ten trading days preceding the put, which is approximately $42,073 on the date of this Registration Statement.

We undertake no obligation, other than as maybe be required by law, to re-issue this Prospectus or otherwise make public statements updating our forward-looking statements.
The selling stockholder identified in this Prospectus, GHS, may offer and sell up to 18,000,000 shares of our common stock, which consists of shares of common stock to be initially purchased by GHS pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement. If issued presently, the shares of common stock registered for resale by GHS would represent approximately 11.26% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, based on the 141,825,630 shares of our issued and outstanding shares as of September 25, 2020. Additionally, the 18,000,000 shares of our common stock registered for resale herein would represent approximately 14.08% of the Company’s public float (all current free-trading shares).
We may require the selling stockholder to suspend the sales of the shares of our common stock being offered pursuant to this Prospectus upon the occurrence of any event that makes any statement in this Prospectus or the related registration statement untrue in any material respect or that requires the changing of statements in those documents in order to make statements in those documents not misleading.
The selling stockholder identified in the table below may from time to time offer and sell under this Prospectus any or all of the shares of common stock described under the column “Shares of Common Stock Being Offered” in the table below.
GHS will be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act. Any profits realized by the selling stockholder may be deemed to be underwriting commissions.
We cannot give an estimate as to the number of shares of common stock that will actually be held by the selling stockholder upon termination of this offering, because the selling stockholder may offer some or all of the common stock under the offering contemplated by this Prospectus or acquire additional shares of common stock. The total number of shares that may be sold hereunder will not exceed the number of shares offered hereby. Please read the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in this Prospectus.
The manner in which the selling stockholder acquired or will acquire shares of our common stock is discussed below under “The Offering.”
| 18 |
The following table sets forth the name of the selling stockholder, the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by such stockholder before this offering, the number of shares to be offered for such stockholder’s account and the number and (if one percent or more) the percentage of the class to be beneficially owned by such stockholder after completion of the offering. The number of shares owned are those beneficially owned, as determined under the rules of the SEC, and such information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares of our common stock as to which a person has sole or shared voting power or investment power and any shares of common stock which the person has the right to acquire within 60 days of September 25, 2020, through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, through conversion of any security or pursuant to the automatic termination of a power of attorney or revocation of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement, and such shares are deemed to be beneficially owned and outstanding for computing the share ownership and percentage of the person holding such options, warrants or other rights, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. Beneficial ownership percentages are calculated based on 141,825,630 shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 25, 2020.
Unless otherwise set forth below, (a) the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite the selling stockholder’s name, subject to community property laws, where applicable, and (b) no selling stockholder had any position, office or other material relationship within the past three years, with us or with any of our predecessors or affiliates. The number of shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned before the offering is based on information furnished to us or otherwise based on information available to us at the timing of the filing of the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part.

Notes:
| (1) | The shares currently owned by GHS consist entirely of shares received upon shares issued by the Company to GHS upon execution of the Equity Financing Agreement. |
| (2) | Because the selling stockholder may offer and sell all or only some portion of the 18,000,000 shares of our common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus and may acquire additional shares of our common stock in the future, we can only estimate the number and percentage of shares of our common stock that the selling stockholder will hold upon termination of the offering based on the shares currently held. |
| (3) | Mark Grober exercises voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of our common stock that are beneficially owned by GHS. |
| (4) | Consists of up to 18,000,000 shares of common stock to be sold by GHS pursuant to the Financing Agreement. |
The selling stockholder may, from time to time, sell any or all of its shares of Company common stock through the OTC Link or any other stock exchange, quotation board, market or trading facility on which the shares of our common stock are quoted or traded, or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed prices, prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices, or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
| · | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| · | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| · | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| · | privately negotiated transactions; |
| · | broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; or |
| · | a combination of any such methods of sale. |
| 19 |
Additionally, broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commissions in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction, a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
GHS is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents, and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them, may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. GHS has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to a requirement by FINRA, the maximum commission or discount to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer may not be greater than 8% of the gross proceeds received by us for the sale of any securities being registered pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act.
Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by the selling stockholder. The selling stockholder may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer, or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.
We have entered into an agreement with GHS to keep this prospectus effective until GHS (i) has sold all of the common shares purchased by it under the Financing Agreement and (ii) has no further right to acquire any additional shares of common stock under the Financing Agreement.
The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the selling stockholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholder.
We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of any of the shares of our common stock by the selling stockholder. We will receive proceeds from the sale of our common stock to GHS under the Equity Financing Agreement. Neither the Equity Financing Agreement with GHS nor any rights of the parties under the Equity Financing Agreement with GHS may be assigned or delegated to any other person.

Holders of Common Stock
As of September 25, 2020, there were approximately 132 stockholders of record. An additional number of stockholders are beneficial holders of our Common Stock in “street name” through banks, brokers and other financial institutions that are the record holders.
Dividend Information
We have not paid any cash dividends to our shareholders. The declaration of any future cash dividends is at the discretion of our board of directors and depends upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.
| 21 |
Rule 10B-18 Transactions
During the year ended December 31, 2019, there were no repurchases of the Company’s common stock by the Company.
The Company will use the proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock sold to GHS, for general corporate and working capital purposes, and continued business operations, or for other purposes that the Board of Directors, in good faith, deems to be in the best interest of the Company.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
We have not set an offering price for the shares registered hereunder, as the only shares being registered are those sold pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement with GHS. GHS may sell all or a portion of the shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices, or at negotiated prices.
The sale of our common stock to GHS in accordance with the Equity Financing Agreement may have a dilutive impact on our shareholders. As a result, our net income per share could decrease in future periods and the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is at the time we exercise our put option, the more shares of our common stock we will have to issue to GHS. 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 would contribute to 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.
Dilution represents the difference between the offering price (market price) and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this Offering. Net tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets (product development costs) from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of our arbitrary determination of the Offering price of the shares being offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of the lower book value of shares of our common stock held by our existing shareholders.
As of June 30, 2020, the net tangible book value of our shares of common stock was $3,007,953, or approximately ($0.02) per share based upon 135,065,629 shares then outstanding. Upon completion of this Offering, if 100% of the shares are sold (18,000,000 shares) at a discounted market price of $0.00784 (80% of $0.0098 market price) per share, the net tangible book value of the 159,825,630 shares to be outstanding will be approximately $2,866,833 or approximately ($0.02) per share. Based on these figures, current shareholders will not experience a dilution in terms of net tangible book value per share as a result of this offering.

On July 29, 2020, we entered into an Equity Financing Agreement with GHS for an equity line. Although we are not required to sell shares under the Equity Financing Agreement, the Equity Financing Agreement gives us the option to sell to GHS up to $5,000,000 worth of our common stock, in increments, beginning on the first trading day after the effective date of this Registration Statement and ending on the earlier of (i) the date GHS has purchased an aggregate of $5,000,000 of our common stock pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement, (ii) July 29, 2023, thirty-six months from the date of execution of the Equity Financing Agreement, or (iii) the date that this registration statement is no longer in effect (the “Open Period”). $5,000,000 was stated to be the total amount of available funding in the Equity Financing Agreement, because this was the maximum amount that GHS and we agreed to for the funding. There is no assurance the market price of our common stock will increase in the future, or that we will ever sell (i) $5,000,000 of our common stock to GHS, or (ii) all 18,000,000 shares being registered hereunder. The number of common shares that remain issuable may not be sufficient, dependent upon the share price, to allow us to access the full amount contemplated under the Equity Financing Agreement. If the trading prices of our common stock remains the same and does not materially increase, we will not be able to place puts for the full commitment amount under the Equity Financing Agreement. The lowest traded price for the 10 days ended September 25, 2020 was $0.0098. At that price we would be able to sell shares to GHS under the Equity Financing Agreement at the discounted price of $0.00784. At that discounted price, the 18,000,000 shares would only represent $141,120, which is far below the full amount of the Equity Financing Agreement. In addition, any single drawdown may not exceed 200% of the average daily trading dollar volume of the Company’s Common Stock during the ten trading days preceding the put, which is approximately $42,073 on the date of this Registration Statement. In addition, Puts must be for a minimum of $10,000, and cannot exceed $400,000. In accordance with the Equity Financing Agreement, the Company issued to GHS the Commitment Note. In addition to the Commitment Note, the Company also issued to GHS a promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000.
During the Open Period, the Company may, in its sole discretion, deliver a put notice (“Put Notice”) to GHS which shall state the dollar amount requested by the Company (the “Put Amount”) and number of shares intends to sell to GHS on a designated closing date. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) of the common stock sold pursuant to a Put Notice will be set at eighty percent (80%) of the lowest traded price of the common stock during the ten consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the date on which the Company delivers the Put Notice to GHS. We are obligated to deliver a number of shares to GHS equal to Put Amount divided by the Purchase Price in consideration of the payment of the Put Amount. For example, if we delivered a put notice to GHS for $20,000, and the lowest traded price for the past ten consecutive trading days is $0.02, we would be obligated to issue GHS 1,250,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.016 per share. The 20% price per share discount GHS will receive with each put sale means that GHS will effectively be paying us $20,000 as a Put Amount for $25,000 in our stock that is issued.
In addition, the Equity Financing Agreement (i) imposes an ownership limitation on GHS of 9.99% (i.e., GHS has no obligation to purchase shares if it beneficially owns 9.99% or more of our common stock), (ii) requires a minimum of ten trading days between Put Notices, (iii) prohibits any single Put Amount from under $10,000 or exceeding $400,000 or exceeding two times the average daily trading dollar volume for the Company’s common stock during the ten days preceding the Put Notice or (iv) delivering a Put Notice within ten days prior to the closing of a prior Put Amount.
In order for the Company to be eligible to deliver put notices to GHS, the following conditions must be met: (i) a registration statement shall be declared effective and remain effective; (ii) at all times during the period beginning on the related put notice date and ending on and including the related closing date of the put, the Company’s common stock shall have been listed or quoted for trading on OTC Markets or its equivalent and shall not have been suspended from trading thereon for a period of two consecutive trading days during the Open Period; (iii) the Company has not defaulted or be in breach of the Equity Financing Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement; (iv) no injunction shall be issued or remain in force in connection with the purchase of the Company’s shares; and (v) the issuance of the shares will not violate any shareholder approval requirements of the OTC Markets. If any of the events described above occurs during a pricing period, then GHS shall have no obligation to purchase the shares delivered in the Put Notice. Further, the terms of the Equity Financing Agreement require that the Company take all commercially reasonable steps necessary to have the Registration Statement be declared effective no more than 90 days following the date this Registration Statement was originally filed.
| 23 |
GHS is not permitted to engage in short sales involving our common stock, or to engage in other activities that could manipulate the market for our common stock, during the period commencing July 29, 2020, and continuing through the termination of the Equity Financing Agreement. In accordance with Regulation SHO, however, sales of our common stock by GHS after delivery of a put notice of such number of shares reasonably expected to be purchased by GHS under a put will not be deemed short sales.
In order for the Company’s exercise of a put to be effective, we must deliver the documents, instruments and writings required under the Equity Financing Agreement. GHS is not required to purchase the put shares unless:
| · | Our registration statement with respect to the resale of the shares of common stock delivered in connection with the applicable put shall have been declared effective; |
| · | we shall have obtained all material permits and qualifications required by any applicable state for the offer and sale of the registrable securities; and |
| · | we shall have filed all requisite reports, notices, and other documents with the SEC in a timely manner. |
As we draw down on the equity line of credit reflected in the Equity Financing Agreement, shares of our common stock will be sold into the market by GHS. The sale of these shares could cause our stock price to decline. In turn, if our stock price declines and we issue more Puts, more shares will come into the market, which could cause a further drop in our stock price. The Company determines when and whether to issue a put to GHS, so the Company will know precisely both the stock price used as the reference point, and the number of shares issuable to GHS upon such exercise. You should be aware that there is an inverse relationship between the market price of our common stock and the number of shares to be issued under the equity line of credit. We have no obligation to utilize the full amount available under the equity line of credit.
Neither the Equity Financing Agreement nor any of our rights or GHS’s rights thereunder may be assigned to any other person.
There is no assurance the market price of our common stock will increase in the future. The number of common shares that remain issuable may not be sufficient, dependent upon the share price, to allow us to access the full amount contemplated under the Equity Financing Agreement. If the bid/ask spread remains the same we will not be able to place a put for the full commitment under the Equity Financing Agreement. Based on the lowest traded price of our common stock during the ten consecutive trading day period preceding the filing date of this Registration Statement was $0.0098, the Registration Statement covers the offer and possible sale of $141,120 worth of our shares.
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: 200,000,000. These shares shall be divided into two classes with 190,000,000 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 no preferred shares outstanding as of the date of this filing.
| 24 |
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.
Convertible Debt and Warrants
January 2018 Convertible Note and Warrants
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%.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the exercise price of the warrants was adjusted to $0.00084 as a result of the down-round features being triggered.

March 2019 Convertible Note and Warrants
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.

| 26 |
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.

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.

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.
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. During the quarter ended 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. As of June 30, 2020, the unpaid principal balance of the notes is $120,000, which includes the default penalty noted above and accrued interest is $6,133.
August 2019 Convertible Note and Warrants
On August 2, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an investor for the purchase of a 12% Secured Convertible Note in the principal amount of up to $125,000. The note is convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock, at any time at a rate of $0.08 per share with fractions rounded up to the nearest whole share, unless paid in cash at the Company’s election. 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. In addition to the note, the Company issued to the investor an aggregate of 781,250 warrants.
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. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the exercise price of the warrants was adjusted to $0.00084 as a result of the down-round features being triggered. As of June 30, 2020, the unpaid principal balance of the notes is $125,000 and the accrued interest is $11,129. This note is payable to a related party.

July 2020 Convertible Notes
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.
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”). 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 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.

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.
| 29 |
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 June 30, 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.
| 30 |
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 June 30, 2019, the Board had granted 3,514,546 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.
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.
| 31 |
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.
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.
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. Such financial statements have been so included in reliance upon the reports of such firm given its authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO THE REGISTRANT
BUSINESS
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 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.
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, continued to realize revenues during 2018 and 2019, and expects to realize revenue growth in 2020 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.
| 34 |
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.
| 35 |
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 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. |
| 36 |
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.
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.

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.
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
We had one full time employee in 2019; however, we had contractor employees (1099 basis) who were working daily on the core business activities of the business and have been doing so since the beginning of the business formation. As of September 25, 2020, we have four employees, all on W2’s, including the CEO, COO and CTO. All employees are currently 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.
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.

Our common stock is considered to be penny stock under rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Under these rules, broker-dealers participating in transactions in these securities must first deliver a risk disclosure document which describes risks associated with these stocks, broker-dealers’ duties, customers’ rights and remedies, market and other information, and make suitability determinations approving the customers for these stock transactions based on financial situation, investment experience and objectives. Broker-dealers must also disclose these restrictions in writing, provide monthly account statements to customers, and obtain specific written consent of each customer. With these restrictions, the likely effect of designation as a penny stock is to decrease the willingness of broker-dealers to make a market for the stock, to decrease the liquidity of the stock and increase the transaction cost of sales and purchases of these stocks compared to other securities.
Dividend Information
We have not paid any cash dividends to our shareholders. The declaration of any future cash dividends is at the discretion of our board of directors and depends upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.

Trends and Uncertainties
On July 28, 2017, we closed the reverse acquisition transaction under the Securities Exchange Agreement dated March 16, 2017, as reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on August 3, 2017. Following the closing, our business has been that of OXYS, Inc. and HereLab, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiaries. Our operations have varied significantly following the closing since, prior to that time, we were an inactive shell company.
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, continued to realize revenues during 2018 and 2019, has realized revenues during the first and second quarter of 2020, and expects to continue to realize revenue growth in 2020 due to its business development pipeline.
| 42 |
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 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.
| 43 |
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.
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.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company earned revenues of $26,171 and incurred related cost of sales of $12,487. The Company incurred professional fees of $244,216, interest fees of $49,434, loss on change in FMV of derivative liability of $75,324 and other general and administrative expenses of $29,378. As a result, the Company incurred a net loss of $384,668 for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
| 44 |
Comparatively, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company earned revenues of $21,850 and incurred related cost of sales of $6,410. The Company incurred professional fees of $492,257, interest fees of $25,343 and other general and administrative expenses of $44,843. As a result, the Company incurred a net loss of $547,003 for the three months ended June 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 Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company earned revenues of $41,771 and incurred related cost of sales of $21,121. The Company incurred professional fees of $431,337, interest fees of $567,723, loss on extinguishment of debt of $139,232 and other general and administrative expenses of $56,905, partially offset by miscellaneous income of $409. As a result, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,174,138 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Comparatively, for the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company earned revenues of $64,687 and incurred related cost of sales of $18,579. The Company incurred professional fees of $981,063, interest fees of $87,779, loss on extinguishment of debt of $221,232 and other general and administrative expenses of $83,075. As a result, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,327,041 for the six months ended June 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 first six months of 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 AP. All this resulted in a challenging first half of 2020, and, thus, the negative YoY revenue growth. Our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020 disclosed risks of ongoing concerns, and those concerns still exist. A counter balance to these headwinds are the achievements in the first half of 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
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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $34,032, which represents a $9,820 increase from the $24,212 balance at December 31, 2019. This increase was primarily the result of cash provided by the issuance of convertible notes in the amount of $29,510 and cash provided by the issuance of the PPP loan in the amount of $36,700 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 June 30, 2020 was a deficit of $2,082,959, as compared to a December 31, 2019 working capital deficit of $1,101,216.
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $384,668.
For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of $547,003.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,174,138. Net cash used in operating activities was $56,390 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,327,041. Net cash used in operating activities was $181,319 for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, investing activities consisted of $0. During the same period, financing activities consisted of cash received totaling $66,210 from proceeds from convertible note payable and PPP loan.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, investing activities consisted of $0. During the same period, financing activities consisted of cash received totaling $155,000 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 $384,668 and $547,003 for the three months ended June 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.
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.
| 46 |
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.
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.
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:

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.
| 47 |
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 |
| 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.

Director Independence
We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “independent directors.”
We currently have not established any committees of the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees in the future. We do not have a nominating committee or a nominating committee charter. Further, we do not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. To date, other than as described above, no security holders have made any such recommendations. The entire Board of Directors performs all functions that would otherwise be performed by committees. Given the present size of our board it is not practical for us to have committees. If we are able to grow our business and increase our operations, we intend to expand the size of our board and allocate responsibilities accordingly.

Each warrant is immediately exercisable at $0.12 per share and expires on August 2, 2024.
Due to adjustments to the conversion price of the note, the conversion price is currently $0.006.
Director Independence
We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “independent directors.” Although we have not have adopted the independence standards any national securities exchange to determine the independence of directors, the NYSE MKT LLC provides that a person will be considered an independent director if he or she is not an officer of the company and is, in the view of our board of directors, free of any relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment. Under this standard, our board of directors has determined that Mr. Mitta would meet this standard, and therefore, would be considered to be independent.

IIOT-OXYS, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
June 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 June 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 $6,418,042 and $5,040,307 as of June 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 June 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 June 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.
| F-8 |
3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
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.

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.

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 June 30, 2020 the holder of the note had converted $16,312 of principal, $1,636 of interest, plus fees of $7,000 into 27,200,000 shares amounting to $24,948.

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 six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:
| Three months ended June 30, | ||||||||
| 2020 | 2019 | |||||||
| Net loss attributable to common stockholders (basic) | $ | (384,668 | ) | $ | (547,003 | ) | ||
| Shares used to compute net loss per common share, basic and diluted | 71,927,594 | 42,035,306 | ||||||
| Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted | $ | (0.01 | ) | $ | (0.01 | ) | ||
| Six months ended June 30, | ||||||||
| 2020 | 2019 | |||||||
| Net loss attributable to common stockholders (basic) | $ | (1,174,138 | ) | $ | (1,327,041 | ) | ||
| Shares used to compute net loss per common share, basic and diluted | 78,478,730 | 41,614,374 | ||||||
| Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted | $ | (0.01 | ) | $ | (0.03 | ) | ||
| F-13 |
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:
| As of June 30, | ||||||||
| 2020 | 2019 | |||||||
| Warrants to purchase common stock | 2,868,397 | 671,282 | ||||||
| Potentially issuable shares related to convertible notes payable | 42,402,856 | 3,084,615 | ||||||
| Potentially issuable vested shares to directors and officers | 2,869,000 | 910,000 | ||||||
| Potentially issuable unvested shares to officers | 4,400,000 | 6,559,000 | ||||||
| Total anti-dilutive common stock equivalents | 52,540,253 | 11,224,897 | ||||||
7. 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.
| F-14 |
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.
During the quarter ended 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 June 30, 2020, the Company has accrued interest related to this note of $30,666. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company also amortized to interest expense $2,999 and $5,997 of the discount, respectively.
The unpaid principal balance of the note is $600,000 as of June 30, 2020, which includes the default penalty noted above, and the remaining unamortized discount is $11,039.
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.
| F-15 |
During the quarter ended 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 $3,955, respectively, as of June 30, 2020, and the remaining unamortized discount is $0. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company amortized to interest expense $194 from the amortization of the discount. This note and accrued interest is due to a related party. 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. The exercise price of the warrants is also subject to adjustments if the Company does not achieve certain milestones during the calendar year 2019.
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.

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.
During the quarter ended 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.

As of June 30, 2020, the unpaid principal balance of the notes is $120,000, which includes the default penalty noted above, accrued interest is $6,133 and the balance of the unamortized discount is $0. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company also amortized to interest expense $2,037 from the amortization of the discount.
On August 2, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an investor for the purchase of a 12% Secured Convertible Note in the principal amount of up to $125,000. The note is convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock, at any time at a rate of $0.08 per share with fractions rounded up to the nearest whole share, unless paid in cash at the Company’s election. 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. In addition to the note, the Company issued to the investor an aggregate of 781,250 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 $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%. Due to the default, this value was immediately expensed.
During the quarter ended 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 $70 based on the change in fair value.
As of June 30, 2020, the unpaid principal balance of the notes is $125,000, the accrued interest is $11,129 and the balance of the unamortized discount is $60,210. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company amortized to interest expense $13,220 and $26,436 from the amortization of the discount, respectively. 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.
During the quarter ended 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.
| F-17 |
During the quarter 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a loss of $63,908 related to the change of fair value of the derivative liability. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the company recorded $158,007 and $235,393 to additional paid-in capital, respectively.
Upon issuance and at each conversion and reporting period 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 $0.0028, 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 563% to 574%, risk-free interest rates ranging from 0.11% to 0.39%, and an expected term of 0.25 years.
As of June 30, 2020, the unpaid principal balance of the notes including the default penalty is $26,250 and accrued interest is $0. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, $5,577 of the note discount has been amortized to interest expense leaving an unamortized balance of $0.
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.
As of June 30, 2020, the unpaid principal balance of the note is $35,000 and accrued interest is $393. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, $7,249 of the note discount has been amortized to interest expense leaving an unamortized balance of $25,284.

9. 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:
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 July 29, 2020, the Company entered into a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement with a 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 (approximately $70,000) and penalties associated with the Convertible Promissory Note dated August 29, 2019 issued to the lender. 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.
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 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.
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 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 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.

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. |
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.
| F-25 |
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.
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.
| F-26 |
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.
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.
| F-27 |
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. |
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 | |||||||||||||
| Shares issued in acquisition of HereLab | $ | – | $ | – | $ | – | $ | – | ||||||||

| 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-28 |
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:
| December 31, 2019 | December 31, 2018 | |||||||
| NOL carryover | $ | 1,303,076 | $ | 815,056 | ||||
| Valuation allowance | (1,303,076 | ) | (815,056 | ) | ||||
| Net deferred tax asset | $ | – | $ | – | ||||
The reconciliation of the provisions for income taxes computed at the U.S. federal statutory tax rate (21%) to the Company’s effective tax rate for the periods ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:
| December 31, 2019 | December 31, 2018 | |||||||
| Book loss | $ | 396,457 | $ | 338,793 | ||||

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.
| December 31, 2019 | December 31, 2018 | |||||||
| Intangible Assets | $ | 495,000 | $ | 495,000 | ||||
| Accumulated amortization | (97,508 | ) | (48,008 | ) | ||||
| Intangible Assets, net | $ | 397,492 | $ | 446,992 | ||||
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.
The following table summarizes the Company’s estimated future amortization expense of intangible assets with finite lives as of December 31, 2019:
| Amortization expense | ||||

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.

Warrants
A summary of the status of the Company’s warrants as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and changes during the year then ended, is presented below:

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-33 |
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:
| December 31, 2019 | December 31, 2018 | |||||||
| Warrants to purchase common stock | 1,627,532 | 384,615 | ||||||
| Potentially issuable shares related to convertible notes payable | 4,787,447 | – | ||||||
| Potentially issuable vested shares to directors and officers | 1,269,000 | 104,673 | ||||||
| Potentially issuable unvested shares to officers | 6,000,000 | 7,469,000 | ||||||
| Total anti-dilutive common stock equivalents | 13,683,979 | 7,958,288 | ||||||
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 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.
For the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 interest expense paid to the investor amounted to $44,877 and $56,384, respectively.

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.

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:
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.

iii. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
4. 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:

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.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the in Cambridge, Massachusetts on October 5, 2020.

Dear Mr. Emmons:
I have acted as counsel for IIOT-OXYS, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) in connection with the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
I have reviewed the Registration Statement, including the prospectus (the “Prospectus”) that is a part of the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement registers the offering and sale by certain selling stockholders of the Company of 18,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”).
In connection with this opinion, I have reviewed originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction) of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the Company’s Bylaws, resolutions adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Registration Statement, the exhibits to the Registration Statement, and such other records, documents, statutes and decisions, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company, and have made such inquiries of such officers and representatives, as I have deemed relevant in rendering this opinion.
In such examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.
The opinions expressed below are limited to the laws of the State of Nevada (including the applicable provisions of the Nevada Constitution, applicable judicial and regulatory decisions interpreting these laws, and applicable rules and regulations underlying these laws) and the federal laws of the United States.
Based on the foregoing and in reliance thereon and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, I am of the opinion that pursuant to the corporate laws of the State of Nevada, including all relevant provisions of the state constitution and all judicial interpretations interpreting such provisions, the Shares are legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of my firm’s name in the related Prospectus under the heading “Legal Matters.”
| Very truly yours, | |
