TRUTANKLESS INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2023
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
The Company was incorporated on March 7, 2008 under the laws of the State of Nevada, as Alcantara Brands Corporation. On October 5, 2010, the Company amended its articles of incorporation and changed its name to Bollente Companies, Inc. On June 4, 2018, the Company amended its articles of incorporation and changed its name to Trutankless, Inc.
The Company is involved in sales, marketing, research and development of a high quality, whole-house, smart electric tankless water heater that is more energy efficient than conventional products. Management anticipates the Company’s trutankless water heater, with Wi-Fi capability and Trutankless’ proprietary apps offered in the iOS and Android store, will augment existing products in the home automation space.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC.
The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including notes required by GAAP.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the year ending December 31, 2023.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Trutankless, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. On May 16, 2010, the Company acquired
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of these investments approximates fair value.
| 7 |
| Table of Contents |
Stock-based compensation
The Company follows ASC 718-10, “Stock Compensation”, which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. ASC 718-10 is a revision to SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and its related implementation guidance. ASC 718-10 requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized.
Income Taxes
The Company’s calculation of its tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various taxing jurisdictions. The Company recognizes tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on management’s estimate of whether it is more likely than not that additional taxes will be required. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2023.
Deferred income taxes are recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates. Temporary differences arise from net operating losses, differences in depreciation methods of archived images, and property and equipment, stock-based and other compensation, and other accrued expenses. A valuation allowance is established when it is determined that it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws and regulations themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, the evolution of regulations and court rulings. Therefore, the actual liability for U.S., or the various state jurisdictions, may be materially different from management’s estimates, which could result in the need to record additional tax liabilities or potentially reverse previously recorded tax liabilities. Interest and penalties are included in tax expense.
The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statements of operation in the provision for income taxes. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
Earnings per share
The Company follows ASC Topic 260 to account for the earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable is comprised of uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers and management closely monitors outstanding receivables based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reviewed periodically for collectability. If management determines that collection is unlikely, an allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected is recorded. Accounts receivables are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $
Advertising Costs
The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred. The Company incurred advertising expenses of $

| Table of Contents |
Research and development costs
The Company charges research and development costs to expense when incurred in accordance with FASB ASC 730, “Research and Development”. Research and development costs were $
Inventory
Inventory, including manufacturing cost and shipping are stated at the lower of cost (average cost) or market (net realizable value).
Revenue recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as outlined in the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue From Contracts with Customers, which requires that five basic criteria be met before revenue can be recognized: (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identity the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price; and (v) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfied a performance obligation.
Revenue recognition occurs at the time product is shipped to customers, when control transfers to customers, provided there are no material remaining performance obligations required of the Company or any matters of customer acceptance. We only record revenue when collectability is probable.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company measures fair value in accordance with ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs (other than quoted market prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.
Level 3 - Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. Valuation of instruments includes unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
As defined by ASC 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale, which was further clarified as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (“an exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
| 9 |
| Table of Contents |
The reported fair values for financial instruments that use Level 2 and Level 3 inputs to determine fair value are based on a variety of factors and assumptions. Accordingly, certain fair values may not represent actual values of the Company’s financial instruments that could have been realized as of March 31, 2023 or that will be recognized in the future, and do not include expenses that could be incurred in an actual settlement. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, receivables from related parties, prepaid expenses and other, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and related party and third-party notes payables approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The Company’s notes payable to related parties approximates the fair value of such instrument based upon management’s best estimate of terms that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (subtopic 815-40),” which reduces the number of accounting models in ASC 470-20 that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features. As a result, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. By removing those separation models, the effective interest rate of convertible debt instruments will be closer to the coupon interest rate. Further, the diluted net income per share calculation for convertible instruments will require the Company to use the if-converted method. The treasury stock method should no longer be used to calculate diluted net income per share for convertible instruments. The amendment will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
Management evaluated all relevant conditions and events that are reasonably known or reasonably knowable, in the aggregate, as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued and determined that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate revenues and raise capital. The Company has not generated sufficient revenues from product sales to provide sufficient cash flows to enable the Company to finance its operations internally. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $
Over the next twelve months management plans to raise additional capital and to invest its working capital resources in sales and marketing in order to increase the distribution and demand for its products. However, there is no guarantee the Company will generate sufficient revenues or raise capital to continue operations. If the Company fails to generate sufficient revenue and obtain additional capital to continue at its expected level of operations, the Company may be forced to scale back or discontinue its sales and marketing efforts. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating Lease Agreements
The Company determines whether or not a contract contains a lease based on whether or not it provides the Company with the use of a specifically identified asset for a period of time, as well as both the right to direct the use of that asset and receive the significant economic benefits of the asset. The Company elected the transition relief package of practical expedients, and as a result, we did not assess 1) whether existing or expired contracts contain embedded leases, 2) lease classification for any existing or expired leases, and 3) whether lease origination costs qualified as initial direct costs. We elected the short-term lease practical expedient by establishing an accounting policy to exclude leases with a term of 12 months or less.
The Company has entered into lease agreements as a lessee for the use of office space. These lease agreements are classified as operating leases, and the liability and right-of-use asset are recognized on the balance sheet at lease commencement. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As a result of the adoption of ASC 842, the Company recognized an operating lease liability and right-of-use asset of $

NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 6, 2023, the Company was served a Summons for an Amended Complaint filed in the state of Florida with claims for Strict Liability, Negligence and Breach of Implied Warranty. The complaint, filed by an insurance company, stems from its payments for claims filed by a policy holder on two separate occasions. The first claim was due to a leak caused by improper installation in which the contractor failed to meet local codes. The second followed the contractor’s failure to properly repair the improper installation. The complaint states that the contractor failed to follow basic installation guidelines supplied with the product in either incident, resulting in damages. The Company believes the claims related to the Company and its products are without merit.

General
Trutankless Inc. was incorporated in the state of Nevada on March 7, 2008. The Company is headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona and currently operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bollente, Inc., a Nevada corporation incorporated on December 3, 2009.
Trutankless is involved in research and development of a high quality, whole-house, smart electric tankless water heater that is more energy efficient than conventional products. Management anticipates the Company's trutankless water heater, with Wi-Fi capability and trutankless' proprietary apps offered in the iOS and Android store, will augment existing products in the hope automation space.
The Company spun off its wholly owned subsidiary, Notation Labs, Inc. with shareholders of the Company to receive pro rata ownership of the spun off company in the form of an equity dividend distribution. Common shares of Notation Labs, Inc. were issued to shareholders of record December 10th, 2021 and the spin off occurred on January 24th, 2022, with each shareholder of record receiving 1 share in the subsidiary for every 4 shares in the Company held as of the Record Date.
Trutankless® Products
Our trutankless® water heaters were designed to provide an endless hot water supply because they are designed to heat water as it flows through the system. We believe that our products have an improved design and greater efficiency thereby saving energy and offering reduction operating costs compared to tank systems because unlike tanks, if there is no hot water demand, no energy is being used. In addition, we intend to improve manufacturing and life-cycle costs with an improved design conceived not only to increase efficiency, but also the longevity of our products versus competitive units. We have several features and design innovations which are new to the electric tankless water heater market that we believe will give our products a sustainable competitive advantage over our rivals in the market.
Our trutankless® water heaters will be available through wholesale plumbing distributors, including Home Depot Pro, Ferguson, Hajoca, WinSupply locations, Morrison Supply, and several regional distributors. A partial listing of wholesalers may be found on our website (www.trutankless.com).

We created a custom heat exchanger for our trutankless® product line that utilizes our patented technology to heat water as it flows through the system, which means customers need not worry about running out of hot water. We are developing systems using upgraded materials, electronics, and a collection of exclusive design elements and features to maximize capacity, minimize energy use, and provide a truly maintenance free experience.
Our trutankless® water heaters were officially launched in the first quarter of 2014 and is sold throughout the wholesale plumbing distribution channel. We began generating revenue in the first quarter of 2014. As of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, we generated $238,912 in revenue. As of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, we generated $265,504 in revenue. As of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, we generated $429,582 in revenue. As of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, we generated $695,857 in revenue. As of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, we generated $1,537,958 in revenue. 1, 2019, we generated $1,908,708. As of December 31, 2020, we generated $1,661,278. As of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, we generated $246,032 in revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we generated $24,639.
We are developing a new, customizable app and control panel for our smart electric water heaters. Using our app, residential and commercial users will be able to obtain real-time status reports, adjust unit temperature settings, view water usage data, and change notification settings from anywhere in the world on their mobile device.
Our primary markets, Florida, Texas, Arizona, and the rest of the Sunbelt region are centers of growth in the U.S. construction and we plan to continue intend to take advantage of our relationships as we launch our totally redesigned trutankless® brand whole home tankless water heaters.
Www.trutankless.com is available as a service to consumers of trutankless® water heaters. We expect to have new apps available for download from the Apple iOS and Goggle Play stores, which will integrate with other devices in the Smart Home market.
Industry Recognition and Awards
Leading home improvement website, houzz.com, honored the company with 4 consecutive “Best of Houzz” honors from 2014 through 2018.
We expect our new line of water heaters will garner similar accolades once the product has been launched with proprietary improvements which will continue to lead the market in the tankless water heating technology which we expect will continue to be driven, in large part, through industry professionals in their local markets.
Customers and Markets
We intend to continue selling our products to plumbing wholesale distributors and dealers.
Approximately 100% of our sales in 2022 and 2021, were to wholesale plumbing equipment distributors for commercial and residential repair and replace applications. Additionally, our products have historically been sold to various home builders throughout the United States in both single family and multi-family applications.

Recent Developments
COVID-19 Pandemic
In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China (“COVID-19”) and has since spread worldwide, including to the Unites States (the “U.S.”), posing public health risks that have reached pandemic proportions (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”). The COVID-19 Pandemic poses a threat to the health and economic wellbeing of our employees, customers and vendors. The operation of all of our facilities is critically dependent on our employees who staff these locations. To ensure the wellbeing of our employees and their families, we have provided all of our employees with detailed health and safety literature on COVID-19, such as the Center for Disease Control (the “CDC”)’s industry-specific guidelines for working with the deceased who were and may have been infected with COVID-19. In addition, our procurement and safety teams have updated and developed new safety-oriented guidelines to support daily field operations and provided personal protection equipment to those employees whose positions necessitate them, and we have implemented work from home policies at our corporate office consistent with CDC guidance to reduce the risks of exposure to COVID-19 while still supporting the families that we serve.
Like most businesses world-wide, the COVID-19 Pandemic has impacted us financially; however, we cannot presently predict the scope and severity with which COVID-19 will impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. However, COVID-19 has caused severe disruptions in client support, development and limited access to the Company’s books and records resulting in limited support from staff and professional advisors. This has, in turn, delayed the Company’s ability to conduct necessary work to finalize its financial statements which may otherwise impact the Company’s ability to complete its Quarterly Report. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we anticipate filing our Quarterly Report on or before June 29, 2020, which is within the 45-day period from the Report’s original filing deadline of May 15, 2020, provided by SEC Release No. 34-88465.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Revenues
In the three months ended March 31, 2023, we generated $585 in revenues, as compared to $15,680 in revenues in the prior year. The decrease in sales was attributable to less sales of our trutankless® residential and light commercial products.
Cost of goods sold was $0 in the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $6,752 in the three months ended March 31, 2022. This decreasein cost of goods sold was primarily attributable decreased sales
To the knowledge of management, the Company is unaware of any trends or uncertainties in the sales or costs of our products and services for the periods discussed.
Expenses
Operating expenses totaled $569,370 during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $1,235,702 in the prior year. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, our expenses primarily consisted of General and Administrative of $487,624, Research and development of 56,951 and Professional fees of $24,795.

Research and development increased $11,793, or approximately 26% to $56.951 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $45,158 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase is attributed primarily to the increased consulting fees associated with the Company’s research and development efforts.
Professional fees decreased $15,117, or approximately 38% to $24,795 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $39,912 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Professional fees decreased due to a decrease in consulting fees associated with business development.
Other Expenses
Other expenses decreased $19,314 to $153,296 in the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $172,610 in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was the result of a decrease in interest expense.
Net Loss
In the three months ended March 31, 2023, we generated a net loss of $722,081, a decrease of $703,792 from $1,425,873 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This decrease was attributable to a decrease in overall expenditures.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
Management evaluated all relevant conditions and events that are reasonably known or reasonably knowable, in the aggregate, as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued and determined that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate revenues and raise capital. The Company has not generated sufficient revenues from product sales to provide sufficient cash flows to enable the Company to finance its operations internally. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $653 cash on hand. On March 31, 2023, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $65,349,536. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had a net loss of $722,081, and cash used in operations of $463,381. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of filing.
Over the next twelve months management plans to raise additional capital and to invest its working capital resources in sales and marketing in order to increase the distribution and demand for its products. However, there is no guarantee the Company will generate sufficient revenues or raise capital to continue operations. If the Company fails to generate sufficient revenue and obtain additional capital to continue at its expected level of operations, the Company may be forced to scale back or discontinue its sales and marketing efforts. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $65,349,546. Primarily because of our history of operating losses and our recording of note payables, we have a working capital deficiency of $4,497,896 at March 31, 2023. Losses have been funded primarily through issuance of common stock and borrowings from our stockholders and third-party debt. As of March 31, 2023, we had $653 in cash, $7,369 in accounts receivable, and $117,980 in inventory. We used net cash in operating activities of $463,381 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Operating activities - Net cash used in operating activities was $463,381for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $724,684 used in operating activities for the same period in 2022. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in consulting contract cost.
Financing activities - Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $380,000as compared to $687,348 for the same period of 2022. The decrease of net cash provided by financing activities was mainly attributable to decreased equity and debt financing.
Ongoing Funding Requirements
As of March 31, 2023, we continue to use traditional and/or debt financing to provide the capital we need to run the business. It is possible that we may need additional funding to enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditures requirements.
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we intend to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. There can be no assurance that any of those sources of funding will be available when needed on acceptable terms or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interests of existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of existing stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or relationships with third parties when needed or on acceptable terms, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts; abandon our business strategy of growth through acquisitions; or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.
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 effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as compared to the critical accounting policies and significant judgements and estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on November, 30 2022.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
This item in not applicable as we are currently considered a smaller reporting company.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the Company’s last fiscal quarter, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s current management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), who concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
Management reviews the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting and makes changes to the Company’s processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that the Company maintains an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities and migrating processes.
During the Company’s last fiscal quarter, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
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.
On July 6, 2020, we received a letter from the staff of the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) that indicated the Company may have violated certain rules and regulations regarding a late filing notification filed by the Company and that the Staff is conducting an informal inquiry into the matter. On April 29, 2021, the Company agreed to pay civil penalties of $25,000 to the Securities and Exchange Commission in settlement of the matter. Payment shall be made in the following four installments: (1) $5,000 within 14 days of entry of the order; (2) $7,500 within 180 days of entry of the order; (3) $6,250 within 270 days of entry of the order; and (4) $6,250 within 360 days of entry of the order. As of March 31, 2023, $5,000 was paid and $20,000 remained due.
On April 6, 2023, the Company was served a Summons for an Amended Complaint filed in the state of Florida with claims for Strict Liability, Negligence and Breach of Implied Warranty. The complaint, filed by an insurance company, stems from its payments for claims filed by a policy holder on two separate occasions. The first claim was due to a leak caused by improper installation in which the contractor failed to meet local codes. The second followed the contractors failure to properly repair the improper installation. The complaint states that the contractor failed to follow basic installation guidelines supplied with the product in either incident, resulting in damages. The Company believes the claims related to the Company and its products are without merit.

The risk factors listed in our 2021 Form 10-K/A, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on November 30, 2022, are hereby incorporated by reference.

We believe that the above issuances and sale of the securities was exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section 4(2) and Regulation D Rule. The securities were sold directly by us and did not involve a public offering or general solicitation. The recipients of the securities were afforded an opportunity for effective access to files and records of the Registrant that contained the relevant information needed to make their investment decision, including the financial statements and 34 Act reports. We reasonably believed that the recipients, immediately prior to the sale of the securities, were accredited investors and had such knowledge and experience in our financial and business matters that they were capable of evaluating the merits and risks of their investment. The management of the recipients had the opportunity to speak with our management on several occasions prior to their investment decision. There were no commissions paid on the issuance and sale of the securities.

The Company did not repurchase any of its equity securities during the period ended March 31, 2023.
