ORIGINCLEAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
| 1. | Organization and Line of Business |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of OriginClear, Inc. (“OCLN” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. These financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Subsidiaries
The Company’s primary operating subsidiary is Water On Demand, Inc. (“WODI”), formed on September 21, 2023, through the merger of Progressive Water Treatment, Inc. (“PWT”) with a newly created majority-owned entity. PWT, acquired by OCLN in 2015, remains WODI’s only active business unit. PWT engineers and manufactures custom water treatment solutions for commercial and industrial customers.
The Modular Water Systems (“MWS”) division, previously focused on pre-fabricated infrastructure for decentralized treatment, was fully deactivated during the second quarter of 2025. On May 8, 2025, WODI’s Board approved the wind-down of MWS as part of a strategic shift away from direct equipment competition. Disposal of remaining MWS assets was completed as of September 30, 2025. (See Note 3.)
Water On Demand #1, Inc. (“WOD #1”) is a Delaware statutory series entity managed by the Company. Capital raised under the Company’s ongoing Series Y offering is aggregated in WOD #1 and advanced to WODI through intercompany transactions which are eliminated in consolidation.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company completed the formal dissolution of its inactive subsidiary OriginClear Technologies Ltd. (“OCHK”), a Hong Kong entity with no operations or assets since 2016. All remaining immaterial balances, including equity, liabilities, and accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments, were derecognized through non-cash journal entries in accordance with ASC 810. The elimination of OCHK resulted in a reclassification within equity that had no impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.
Joint Venture
September 16, 2025, the Company entered
into a joint venture agreement with Block40X Inc. to form a Wyoming limited liability company (the “Block40X JV”) to develop
and manage Bitcoin mining facilities in the United States. Each party holds a
On September 26, 2025, the Company
entered into a joint venture agreement with Bitmern Investments LLC, a subsidiary of Bitmern Technologies LLC, to form a Florida limited
liability company (the “Bitmern JV”). Ownership of the Bitmern JV is allocated
As of September 30, 2025, neither the Block40X JV nor the Bitmern JV had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Operating results for the three- and nine-months ending September 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or any other future period. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
5
Going concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. However, recurring losses, negative operating cash flows and significant liquidity constraints have led the Company’s auditors to express substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing additional financing through convertible notes and preferred stock offerings while leveraging existing backlog and receivables. There can be no assurance that required financing will be available or on terms acceptable to the Company, and any future financing may involve restrictive covenants or shareholder dilution.
| 2. | Summary of significant accounting policies |
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC Regulation S-X Rule 10-01. Except for the updates described below, the Company’s significant accounting policies are unchanged from those disclosed in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements in the 2024 Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction therewith.
Use of estimates
Management uses estimates in preparing financial statements. Key estimates include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, fair value of derivatives and investments, stock-based compensation, warranty reserves, and deferred tax valuation allowances.
Revenue recognition
The Company follows ASC 606. Product revenue is recorded at shipment when control transfers. Construction-type contracts are recognized over time using an input-cost method that depicts transfer of control to the customer. Contract losses are recognized immediately when determined. Contract receivables, contract assets, and contract liabilities reflect the timing difference between performance and customer billing.
Loss per share
Basic loss per share is net loss divided by weighted-average common shares. Diluted loss per share is the same as basic because all potential common shares are anti-dilutive.
Fair value of financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified under ASC 820’s three-level hierarchy. Derivative liabilities are Level 3 and are remeasured at each period end. No material changes in valuation techniques or inputs have occurred since December 31, 2024, so interim disclosure of Level 1 and Level 2 hierarchy tables is omitted per ASC 820-10-50-2A.
The following table reconciles the Company’s Level 3 derivative liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025:
| Total | (Lvl 1) | (Lvl 2) | (Lvl 3) | |||||||||||||
| Convertible notes liability | $ | ( | ) | $ | $ | $ | ( | ) | ||||||||
| Warrants liability | ( | ) | ( | ) | ||||||||||||
| Total derivative liability | $ | ( | ) | $ | ( | ) | ||||||||||
Leases
Under ASC 842, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of lease payments. Short-term leases (12 months or less) are expensed as incurred.
Stock-based compensation
Equity awards are measured at grant-date fair value and recognized over vesting periods under ASC 718. Warrants issued for services or financing are recorded at fair value on the grant date.
6
Derivatives
The Company evaluates all instruments for embedded derivative features and records derivatives at fair value with changes recognized in earnings. A binomial lattice model is used for valuation; classification between liability and equity is reassessed each period.
Equity Investments and Joint Ventures
The Company accounts for investments
in entities over which it exercises significant influence but does not have control under the equity method of accounting (ASC 323).
Under this method, the investment is initially recorded at cost and adjusted each period for the Company’s proportionate share
of the investee’s net income or loss and other comprehensive income, if applicable. When the Company’s share of cumulative
losses exceeds the carrying amount of the investment, the balance is reduced to
The Company’s joint ventures, including Block40X LLC, Bitmern LLC, and Enviromaintenance LLC, are each accounted for under this method. As of September 30, 2025, none of these ventures had material assets, liabilities, or operations, and no earnings or losses were recognized.
Other policies
Policies for consolidation, cash and cash equivalents, contract assets and liabilities, prepaid expenses, property and equipment, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, marketable securities, work-in-process, recently issued pronouncements, and reclassifications remain as disclosed in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Interim reporting
Footnote disclosure that would duplicate the 2024 Form 10-K such as detailed loss-per-share reconciliation tables, property and equipment roll-forwards, or full fair-value hierarchy tables is omitted for this interim filing under Regulation S-X Rule 10-01, including property roll forwards, full EPS tables, and fair value levels 1 and 2.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
Management has evaluated all recently issued accounting standards and does not expect any to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation with no effect on previously reported net loss or shareholders’ deficit.
| 3. | Discontinued Operations |
In the second quarter of 2025, the Company finalized its plan to wind down its Modular Water Systems (“MWS”) business unit following the resignation of MWS’s lead executive and a strategic review of operations. Management concluded that MWS no longer aligned with the Company’s long-term objectives and ceased all activity during the quarter. The business met the criteria for discontinued operations under ASC 205-20.
All prior period financial information has been recast to reflect MWS as a discontinued operation. The wind-down was completed shortly after quarter-end, and no material costs are expected in future periods.
As previously disclosed, in the second
quarter of 2025 the Company terminated the technology license agreement in connection with the settlement with MWS’s former lead
executive. The Company reversed $

Restricted Stock Grants
The Company has outstanding performance-based
RSGAs with its chief executive officer, directors, employees, and consultants. Shares vest only upon achievement of two cumulative, trailing-twelve-month
milestones: (i) consolidated gross revenue of at least $
The Board subsequently approved an alternative vesting mechanism: if a milestone is not achieved but the fair-market value (“FMV”) of the Company’s common stock on a scheduled vesting date is below the FMV on the RSGA effective date, the number of shares that vest is adjusted so that the aggregate FMV of the vested shares equals the grant-date FMV. Once either Company performance milestone is met, only the original milestone-based vesting schedule will apply to any remaining unvested shares.

Strategic Developments
On April 14, 2023, WODI acquired the MWS business unit from OriginClear, Inc. including related assets, patents, and intellectual property. Subsequently, on September 21, 2023, WODI merged with PWT, a Texas-based water solutions provider with a 20-year history in delivering commercial and industrial water treatment solutions. The combined entity operated under the WODI name for preparation for a proposed Nasdaq listing via merger with FRLA.
On December 9, 2024, the proposed business combination with FRLA was terminated due to increasing regulatory costs, extended timelines, and changing market conditions. FLRA subsequently dissolved and returned capital to its shareholders.
On May 8, 2025, WODI’s Board approved the wind-down of the MWS business unit, eliminating overlapping product lines and streamlining operations around PWT’s standardized, financeable systems. WODI no longer pursues new business under the MWS brand. (see note 3).
WODI is now focused on integrating PWT’s water purification technologies into long-term service agreements and public-private infrastructure financing vehicles, supported by WODI and its affiliates as well as other capital sources.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10Q includes forward-looking statements (e.g., “believes,” “expects,” “may”) as defined under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Exchange Act of 1934. These are based on current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially. The statements speak only as of the date of this report, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update them unless required by law. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.
Overview
OriginClear, Inc. (“OriginClear,” “OCLN,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on June 1, 2007, and now operates as the Clean Water Innovation Hub™, with a primary focus on supporting the growth and development of its majority-owned subsidiary, Water on Demand, Inc. (“WODI”).
WODI holds Progressive Water Treatment, Inc. (“PWT”), headquartered in Sherman, Texas, as its sole active revenue-producing business. PWT designs, manufactures, and services custom-engineered water treatment systems for commercial and industrial applications.
During the second quarter of 2025, the WODI Board of Directors approved the wind-down of Modular Water Systems (“MWS”), a previously active design-build unit within WODI. As of September 30, 2025, MWS is no longer in operation, and its financial results are presented as discontinued operations in this report.
Concurrently, WODI formally shifted its strategic focus from manufacturing operations to organization of a financial technology, specifically the development of its infrastructure Fund. This fund will be organized as an Opportunity Zone Fund (“OZF”) designed to finance decentralized water treatment systems in underserved communities while leveraging federal tax incentives to attract private capital. The fund has been formed but had not yet raised external capital as of September 30, 2025.
Recent Developments
On October 14, 2025, the Company announced its intent to form a strategic joint venture with Georgetown, Texas-based Enviromaintenance to deploy and operate mobile wastewater treatment plants throughout Texas. The partnership is designed to serve industrial customers with immediate water treatment needs, particularly in areas where centralized services are limited or unavailable.
This new venture builds on prior collaboration plans for the sale of standardized systems within the Greater Central Texas Region, spanning from Waco to San Antonio. Under the proposed structure, Water On Demand, through its affiliate, will provide capital for the acquisition of waste removal and recycling mobile vacuum trucks, while Enviromaintenance will purchase, operate, and manage these units utilizing its proprietary wastewater treatment technology within an exclusive Texas territory.
On May 8, 2025, WODI executed a transition agreement with the former President of MWS to terminate the IP license, eliminate all accrued royalty obligations, and complete the MWS wind-down.
In July 2024, PWT relocated to a 12,000-square-foot production facility at 5225 W. Houston Street, Sherman, Texas, under a triple-net lease with monthly base rent of $13,313.
The Company, Water on Demand Inc., is a C-Corporation and is in the process of qualifying as a Qualified Opportunity Zone Business (“QOZB”). It also intends to create a wholly owned WODI LLC, which pays the Company to operate the business, such as administrative and contract management fees. Capital for WODI LLC is intended to be contributed by WODI QOZ Fund, designed to become a Qualified Opportunity Fund, in exchange for membership interests. The Company is also the General Partner of the fund, WODI Sponsorship LLC (“WODIS”), which is designed to earn a portion of prospective Fund distributions. The Company is currently selling and/or granting memberships in WODIS to accredited investors, while Regulation A+ investors receive common shares in The Company itself.
The WOD QOZ Fund is currently authorized to raise up to $100 million, with plans underway to increase this cap to $200 million to support expanded project demand.

The diagram below illustrates the organizational relationships and capital flow among OriginClear’s QOZB entities, including Water on Demand, Inc. (the QOZB), its wholly owned subsidiary (WODI LLC), the external capital-raising vehicle (WODI QOZ Fund), and the carried-interest sponsor (WODI Sponsorship LLC).
Joint Venture
On September 16, 2025, the Company entered into a joint venture with Block40X Inc. to form a Wyoming limited liability company (the “Block40X JV”) to develop and manage Bitcoin mining facilities in the United States. Each party holds a 50% membership interest. In connection with the agreement, the Company granted Block40X restricted stock equal to approximately 5% of the Company’s outstanding common shares. The Block40X JV had no material operations, assets, or liabilities as of September 30, 2025 and will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
On September 26, 2025, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Bitmern Investments LLC, a subsidiary of Bitmern Technologies LLC, to form a Florida limited liability company (the “Bitmern JV”). Under the agreement, Bitmern holds a 60% ownership interest, and the Company holds 40%. The purpose of the Bitmern JV is to finance, develop, construct, and manage large-scale Bitcoin mining hosting facilities, beginning with a pilot project of up to 500 MW in the United States, with potential expansions. Bitmern will contribute technical expertise, project management, hosting operations, and related intellectual property, while the Company will contribute financing capabilities, capital markets strategy, and compliance support. The Bitmern JV will be governed by a three-member board of managers, with each party appointing one representative and jointly selecting an independent member. Bitmern appoints the Chair and Chief Executive Officer of the JV. The Bitmern JV had not commenced operations or recorded any material assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2025, and will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024.
Revenue and Cost of Goods Sold
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $1,708,782, compared to $583,491 for the same period in 2024, increased $1,125,291 (193%). The incline was primarily driven by higher equipment contract revenue.
Cost of goods sold increased to $1,227,164 in 2025, from $512,352 in 2024, an increase of $714,812 (140%). As a result, the Company recorded a gross profit of $481,618 compared to a profit of $71,139 in the third quarter of 2024.
21
Selling and Marketing
Selling and marketing expenses were $332,513 for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $464,798 (589%) from $797,311 in 2024. The decrease reflects reduced advertising and commissions, as well as fewer project-specific marketing initiatives compared to the prior-year period.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses totaled $468,468 for the quarter, compared to $1,472,994 in 2024, a decrease of $1,004,526 (68%). Lower legal and professional fees contributed to the decrease, partially offset by increased payroll and benefit costs in the current period.
Other Income and (Expenses)
Other income (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $(2,746,436), compared $(304,140) in 2024, a change of $(2,445,296). The swing was driven by a $1,699,058 gain on preferred stock conversion in 2024 (nil in 2025). A $1,255,178 loss on redemption of common stock in 2024 (nil in 2025). Lastly, a $1,716,476 loss on change in derivative liability and debt conversion in 2025 vs. a $756,395 gain in 2024.
Net Loss
Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $(3,332,820) compared with net loss of $(2,774,472) for the same period in 2024, a change of $558,348. This also includes loss from discontinued operations of $(264,021) vs a loss of $(271,166) in the prior period. The change was driven by lower gross profit and swing in other income (expense), including reduced derivative gains and the absence of one-time favorable items recorded in the prior period.
Derivative values are highly sensitive to the Company’s stock price, volatility, interest rates, and other contractual terms: shifts in these inputs can produce significant period-to-period fluctuations in reported results.
Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024.
Revenue and Cost of Sales
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $4,055,252, compared to $2,577,468 in 2024, an increase of $1,477,784 (57%). The increase was driven by higher sales volumes in certain product lines.
Cost of goods sold rose to $3,726,983 from $1,976,412, an increase of $1,750,571 (89%), reflecting the higher cost base associated with the increased volume and project mix. As a result, gross profit was $328,269 compared to a profit of $601,056 in 2024, and gross margin declined from 23% to (8%).
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, were $984,084, compared to $2,024,434 in 2024, a decrease of $1,040,350 (51%). The decrease was attributable to lower commissions, and decreased spending on advertising and promotional campaigns.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses totaled $2,320,659 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $3,598,920 in 2024, a decrease of $1,278,261. The decline was driven by lower legal and professional services, partially offset by increases in payroll and benefit related costs.
22
Other Income and (Expenses)
Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $(9,104,175), compared with $(10,694,301) in 2024, an improvement of $1,590,126. The change was driven by a $2,035,246 gain on remeasurement of derivative liabilities in 2025, compared to a $(5,837,116) loss in 2024, and a $(513,345) loss on extinguishment of payables in the current period versus a $30,646 gain in the prior year.
The 2024 period also included a $(1,580,508) SPAC receivable impairment and a $(1,679,349) debt conversion adjustment that did not recur in 2025.
Net Loss
Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $(11,617,118) compared with $(16,329,231) for the same period in 2024, an improvement of $4,712,113. The reduction in net loss was largely due to lower total operating expenses and the swing in fair value adjustments to derivative liabilities, partially offset by higher cost of goods sold and interest expense.
Derivative values are highly sensitive to the Company’s stock price, volatility, interest rates, and other contractual terms: shifts in these inputs can produce significant period-to-period fluctuations in reported results.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Liquidity reflects the Company’s ability to fund operations and meet obligations. The Company has historically relied on capital raises and continues to pursue financing through convertible notes, equity offerings, and strategic partnerships.
The financial statements were prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring losses and held cash of $756,729 as of September 30, 2025. Management believes continued investor support and access to capital markets will be necessary to sustain operations.

Capital Expenditures
Apart from modest tenant improvements at the Sherman facility, the Company does not anticipate significant capital expenditure over the next twelve months. However, Growth initiatives for the anticipated OZ-fund model will require external capital, which may be raised through equity or debt offerings.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s critical accounting policies, as described in its 2024 Form 10-K, remain unchanged. They include revenue recognition under ASC 606, expected-credit-loss measurement under ASC 326, fair-value accounting for derivatives under ASC 815, impairment testing for long-lived and indefinite-lived assets under ASC 360 and ASC 350, stock-based compensation under ASC 718, warranty-reserve estimation, and valuation-allowance assessment for deferred tax assets. Management’s judgments and estimates in applying these policies could materially affect the financial statements.
23
Trends and Outlook
Management expects revenue for the remainder of 2025 to be driven by PWT’s backlog. The wind-down of MWS eliminates a low-margin manufacturing line and allows resources to be redirected to financing activities. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital on reasonable terms will be critical to funding operations and executing its decentralized water-finance strategy.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditure.

Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of that date. This conclusion reflects the constraints of a small finance team and the complexity and timing of certain non-routine transactions this quarter, including debt and equity conversions.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Internal Controls
Internal controls provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance and, due to inherent limitations may not prevent or detect all misstatements.
