Overview of CarbonMeta Technologies, Inc.
CarbonMeta Technologies, Inc. (“CarbonMeta”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a publicly quoted environmental research and development company that is commercializing technologies for processing organic wastes into hydrogen and high-value carbon products economically and sustainably.
The Company was incorporated on July 8, 2001, under the laws of the State of Delaware, as SRM Networks, Inc. In connection with the acquisition of Hy-Tech Computer Systems, Inc. on January 31, 2003, the Company changed its name to Hy-Tech Technology Group, Inc. In connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger Robotics Workspace Technology, Inc., Innova Holdings, Inc. and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, RWT Acquisition, Inc., dated July 21, 2004, the Company’s name changed to Innova Holdings, Inc. Subsequently, on November 20, 2006, the Company changed its name to Innova Robotics and Automation, Inc., and then on April 23, 2008, the Company changed its name to CoroWare, Inc.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Director owns all (25,000) issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Series G Preferred Stock, which has voting rights equal to 5,000,000 votes for each share of Series G held; and 60,000 shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock, which has voting rights equal to 100,000 votes for each share of Series D held.

On or about July 28, 2021, the Company filed Articles of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware to reflect a name change from CoroWare, Inc. to CarbonMeta Technologies, Inc.
The Company was an SEC reporting company until October 2016, when the Company’s gross margins and financing costs became unsustainable, and the company ceased operations in October 2016. From 2017 - 2018, the Company investigated multiple business opportunities, but could not pursue them without investor support. In 2020, the Company began investigating emerging technologies and sustainable growth business opportunities related to the production of hydrogen and high value carbon products from organic waste streams. After careful consideration of the potential market opportunities and the partnership with Oxford University, the Company took the decision to raise capital in the public market and therefore become an SEC reporting company again.
The Company has six wholly-owned subsidiaries: CoroWare Technologies, Inc. (“CTI”), CoroWare Robotics Solutions, Inc. (“CRS”), RWT Acquisition, Inc. (“RWT”), Carbon Sources, Inc. (“CS”), Coroware Treasury, Inc. (“CWT”), CarbonMeta Research Ltd. (‘CMR”) and a 51% interest in AriCon, LLC (“AriCon).
CoroWare Technologies (“CTI”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on May 16, 2006 and its principal business was a software professional services company with a strong focus on information technology integration and robotics integration, business automation solutions and unmanned systems solutions to its customers in North America and Europe.
CoroWare Robotics Solutions, Inc. (“CRS”) was incorporated in the State of Texas on February 27, 2015, and its principal business was as a technology incubation company whose focus was on the delivery of mobile robotics and IOT products, solutions and services for university, government and corporate researchers, and enterprise customers. CRS’s business operations were discontinued in October 2016 when the Company’s gross margins and financing costs became unsustainable.
Robotic Workspace Technologies, Inc. (“RWT”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on July 1, 1994, and its principal business was developing and marketing open-architecture PC controls and related products that could improve the performance, applicability, and productivity of robots and other automated equipment. RWT’s business operations were discontinued in September 2007 when the Company’s losses became unsustainable.
Carbon Source, Inc. (“CS”) was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on June 14, 2021 and its principal business is waste reclamation technologies and processing.
CoroWare Treasury, Inc. (“CWT”) was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on July 6, 2021 and its principal business is acquisitions related to acquiring technologies and subsidiary businesses related to waste processing.
CarbonMeta Research Ltd. (‘CMR”) was incorporated in England and Wales on August 12, 2021 and its principal business will focus on the development of technologies and solutions for processing organic wastes and generating economically sustainable hydrogen and high-value carbon products. Using proprietary and patented technologies, it plans to implement new industrial methods using inexpensive, environmentally friendly catalysts that process collected plastic waste material into high value products such as hydrogen gas, graphene and carbon nanotubes.
AriCon, LLC (“AriCon) was a joint venture that was intended to develop mobile robot platforms, applications, and solutions for the construction industry. In October 2016, AriCon ceased operations of all subsidiary business operations when the Company’s losses became unsustainable, and the Company was not able to obtain investment financing.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with the other information contained in this Offering Circular, before purchasing our Common Stock. Any of the following factors could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects, and could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment. Some statements in this Offering Circular, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.
Risks Relating to Our Financial Condition
Our independent registered accounting firm has expressed concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The report of our independent registered accounting firm expresses concern about our ability to continue as a going concern based on the absence of significant revenues, our significant losses from operations and our need for additional financing to fund all of our operations. It is not possible at this time for us to predict with assurance the potential success of our business. The revenue and income potential of our proposed business and operations are unknown. If we cannot continue as a viable entity, we may be unable to continue our operations and you may lose some or all of your investment in our common stock.
We have limited operational history in an emerging industry, making it difficult to accurately predict and forecast business operation.
As we have less than ten years of corporate operational history and have yet to generate revenue under our new business model, it is extremely difficult to make accurate predictions and forecasts on our finances. This is compounded by the fact that we operate in both the carbon nanotubes and hydrogen sectors, which is a rapidly transforming technological sector. There is no guarantee that we will properly execute our business model in either sector.
As a growing company, we have yet to achieve a profit and may not achieve a profit in the near future, if at all.
We have not yet produced a net profit and may not in the near future, if at all. While we expect our revenue to grow, we have not achieved profitability and cannot be certain that we will be able to sustain our current growth rate or realize sufficient revenue to achieve profitability. Further, many of our competitors in the field of carbon nanotubes and hydrogen technology have a significantly larger user base and revenue stream but have yet to achieve profitability. Our ability to continue as a going concern may be dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions, increasing revenue throughout the year and keeping operating expenses below our revenue levels in order to achieve positive cash flows, none of which can be assured.
We may require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new features and products or enhance our existing products, improve our operating infrastructure or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in continued equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of our common stock. Any debt financing we secure in the future, could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be impaired, and our business may be harmed.
11 |
We expect our quarterly financial results to fluctuate.
We expect our net sales and operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, including changes in:
● | Demand for our products; | |
● | Our ability to obtain and retain existing customers; | |
● | Our ability to develop our carbon nanotubes and hydrogen products; | |
● | General economic conditions, both domestically and in foreign markets; | |
● | Advertising and other marketing costs; | |
● | Costs of producing the carbon nanotubes and hydrogen; | |
● | Retaining key personnel; and | |
● | Positive returns on our alternative investments. |
As a result of the variability of these and other factors, our operating results in future quarters may be below the expectations of our stockholders.
Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry
The COVID-19 pandemic may materially and adversely affect our business and operations.
The impact on our business from the outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus is unknown at this time and difficult to predict. While vaccines are currently being administered in the United States and other countries throughout the world, at the current time the federal government and local states have instituted restrictions which could adversely affect the Company’s operations. The impact of COVID-19 has also created global supply chain challenges. These challenges create risk in the timing of delivery of kiosks and products. As outbreaks happen in certain areas of the supply chain it will create delays. Having redundancies in these areas to minimize timeline creep is not cost effective. Additionally, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global financial markets may reduce our ability to access capital, which could negatively impact our short-term and long-term liquidity. Other potential adverse effects of COVID-19 might include, for example, our ability to meet projected goals through the continued availability of our workforce; adverse impacts from new laws and regulations affecting our business or increased cyber risks and reliance on technology infrastructure to support our business and operations, including through remote-work protocols. The specific impact that COVID-19 could have on these risks remains uncertain.
We have a history of losses, and we may not become profitable in the future.
The company has incurred losses in all the years since formation. Most of these investments were made in product development, engineering and some sales expenses. We may incur similar net losses for the foreseeable future.
We expect to continue to make significant future expenditures related to the development and expansion of our business, including:
● | investments in our research and development team and in the development of processing organic waste streams into higher value carbon and hydrogen products; | |
● | investments in sales and marketing, including expanding our sales force, increasing our customer base, increasing market awareness of our platform and development of new technologies; | |
● | expanding of our operations and infrastructure, including internationally; and | |
● | hiring additional employees. |
CarbonMeta is changing its industry direction and business model
It will take 12-18 months to establish a firm direction towards revenue and profitability. The company will need to build out a new corporate leadership team, identify additional acquisition opportunities, and continue to work on and evolve its long-term business plan. The company is also incurring costs associated with general administration, including legal, accounting and other expenses related to being a public company upon completion of this offering.
As a result of these increased expenses, we will have to generate and sustain increased revenue to be profitable in future periods. Further, in future periods, our revenue growth rate could decline, and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to offset higher costs and achieve or sustain profitability. If we fail to achieve, sustain or increase profitability, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.
12 |
We have no operating history, which makes it difficult to predict our future results of operations.
The company was inactive from November 2016 through June 2020, which limits our ability to forecast our future results of operations and subjects us to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to plan for and anticipate future growth. Our historical revenue growth should not be considered indicative of our future performance. Further, in future periods, our revenue growth could slow or our revenue could decline for a number of reasons, including slowing demand for our solutions, increasing competition, a decrease in the growth of our overall market, or our failure, for any reason, to continue to capitalize on growth opportunities. We have also encountered and will encounter risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries, such as determining appropriate investments of our limited resources, competition from other companies, attracting and retaining customers, hiring, integrating, training and retaining skilled personnel,
Changing global economic conditions may adversely affect our industry, business and results of operations.
Our overall performance depends in part on worldwide economic conditions and trade relations with Asia, Europe and Latin America. These conditions could adversely affect our customers’ ability or willingness to purchase products and services and could adversely affect our operating results. In addition, companies that have competing products may reduce prices which could also reduce our average selling prices and harm our operating results.
If we experience significant fluctuations in our rate of anticipated growth and fail to balance our expenses with our revenue forecasts, our results could be harmed.
Due to the early stages of our business model, the unpredictability of new markets that we enter and unpredictability of future general economic and financial market conditions, we may not be able to accurately forecast our rate of growth. We plan our expense levels and investment on estimates of future revenue and future anticipated rate of growth. We may not be able to adjust our spending quickly enough if the addition of new subscriptions or the renewal rate for existing subscriptions falls short of our expectations.
As a result, we expect that our revenues, operating results and cash flows may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis. Our recent revenue growth rates may not be sustainable and may decline in the future. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our revenues, operating results and cash flows may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.
We may in the future be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights.
The waste processing, carbon nanotube, and hydrogen production industries are characterized by the existence of a large number of patents, trademarks and copyrights and by frequent litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. The outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain. Any intellectual property claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming and expensive to resolve, could divert management attention from executing our business plan and could require us to change our technology, change our business practices and/or pay monetary damages or enter into short- or long-term royalty or licensing agreements which may not be available in the future at the same terms or at all. Any adverse determination related to intellectual property claims or litigation could be material to our net income or cash flows of a particular quarter or could otherwise adversely affect our operating results.
Our quarterly results can fluctuate and if we fail to meet the expectations of analysts or investors, our stock price and the value of your investment could decline substantially.
We may fail to meet or exceed the expectations of securities analysts or investors, and the market price of our common stock or the trading price of the notes could decline. Moreover, our stock price may be based on expectations of our future performance that may be unrealistic or that may not be met. Some of the important factors that may cause our revenues, operating results and cash flows to fluctuate from quarter to quarter include:
● | our ability to retain and increase sales to existing customers, attract new customers and satisfy our customers’ requirements; | |
● | the number of new employees added; | |
● | changes in our pricing policies whether initiated by us or as a result of intense competition; | |
● | the rate of expansion and productivity of our sales force; |
13 |
● | new product and service introductions by our competitors; | |
● | our success in selling our products and services to large enterprises; | |
● | general economic conditions could adversely affect either our customers’ ability or willingness to purchase additional subscriptions or upgrade their service, or delay a prospective customers’ purchasing decision, or reduce the value of new subscription contracts, or affect renewal rates, all of which could adversely affect our operating results; | |
● | the timing of customer payments and payment defaults by customers; | |
● | costs associated with acquisitions of companies and technologies; | |
● | extraordinary expenses such as litigation or other dispute-related settlement payments; and | |
● | the impact of new accounting pronouncements. |
Many of these factors are not within our control, and the occurrence of one or more of them might cause our operating results to vary widely. As such, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our revenues, operating results and cash flows may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.
As we acquire companies or technologies in the future, they could prove difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and adversely affect our operating results and the value of your investment.
As part of our business strategy, we regularly evaluate acquisitions of complementary businesses, joint ventures, services and technologies, and we expect that periodically we will continue to make such investments and acquisitions in the future. Acquisitions and investments involve numerous risks, including:
● | the potential failure to achieve the expected benefits of the combination or acquisition; | |
● | difficulties in and the cost of integrating operations, technologies, services and personnel; | |
● | diversion of financial and managerial resources from existing operations; | |
● | risk of entering new markets in which we have little or no experience; | |
● | potential write-offs of acquired assets or investments; | |
● | potential loss of key employees; | |
● | inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset acquisition or investment costs; | |
● | the inability to maintain relationships with customers and partners of the acquired business; | |
● | potential unknown liabilities associated with the acquired businesses; | |
● | unanticipated expenses related to acquired technology and its integration into existing technology; | |
● | negative impact to our results of operations because of the depreciation and amortization of amounts related to acquired intangible assets, fixed assets and deferred compensation, and the loss of acquired deferred revenue; | |
● | delays in customer purchases due to uncertainty; | |
● | the need to implement controls, procedures and policies appropriate for a public company at companies that prior to the acquisition lacked such controls, procedures and policies; and | |
● | challenges caused by distance, language and cultural differences. |
14 |
In addition, if we finance acquisitions by issuing additional convertible debt or equity securities, our existing stockholders may be diluted which could affect the market price of our stock. Further, if we fail to properly evaluate and execute acquisitions or investments, our business and prospects may be seriously harmed, and the value of your investment may decline.
The market for carbon nanotubes and hydrogen are volatile, and if it develops more slowly than we expect, our business could be harmed.
The market for producing carbon nanotubes and hydrogen is not as mature as the market for packaged enterprise software and hardware, and it is uncertain whether these services will achieve and sustain high levels of demand and market acceptance. If enterprises do not perceive the benefits of carbon nanotubes and hydrogen, then the market for these products and services may not develop at all, or it may develop more slowly than we expect, either of which would significantly adversely affect our operating results. In addition, we may make errors in predicting and reacting to relevant business trends, which could harm our business.
Any failure to protect our intellectual property rights could impair our ability to protect our proprietary technology and our brand.
If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights adequately, our competitors might gain access to our technology, and our business might be harmed. In addition, defending our intellectual property rights might entail significant expense. Any of our trademarks or other intellectual property rights may be challenged by others or invalidated through administrative process or litigation. While we plan to file patents, we may be unable to obtain patent protection for the technology covered in our patent applications. In addition, any patents issued in the future may not provide us with competitive advantages or may be successfully challenged by third parties. Furthermore, legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights are uncertain. Effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available to us in every country in which our service is available. The laws of some foreign countries may not be as protective of intellectual property rights as those in the U.S., and mechanisms for enforcement of intellectual property rights may be inadequate. Accordingly, despite our efforts, we may be unable to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual property.
We might be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect our intellectual property rights. We may initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement of our proprietary rights or to establish the validity of our proprietary rights. Any litigation, whether or not it is resolved in our favor, could result in significant expense to us and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel.
If we fail to develop our brands cost-effectively, our business may suffer.
We believe that developing and maintaining awareness of the Carbon Source brand and our other brands in a cost-effective manner is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our existing and future services and is an important element in attracting new customers. Furthermore, we believe that the importance of brand recognition will increase as competition in our market develops. Successful promotion of our brands will depend largely on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and on our ability to provide reliable secure and useful services at competitive prices. In the past, our efforts to build our brands have involved significant expense. Brand promotion activities may not yield increased revenue, and even if they do, any increased revenue may not offset the expenses we incurred in building our brands. If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our brands or incur substantial expenses in an unsuccessful attempt to promote and maintain our brands, we may fail to attract enough new customers or retain our existing customers to the extent necessary to realize a sufficient return on our brand-building efforts, and our business could suffer.
15 |
We are dependent on our management team and development and operations personnel, and the loss of one or more key employees or groups could harm our business and prevent us from implementing our business plan in a timely manner.
Our success depends substantially upon the continued services of our executive officers and other key members of management, particularly our Chief Executive Officer. From time to time, there may be changes in our executive management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives. Such changes in our executive management team may be disruptive to our business. We are also substantially dependent on the continued service of our existing development and operations personnel because of the complexity of our service and technologies. We have an employment agreement with our sole officer and director, Lloyd Spencer. We do not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of our employees. The loss of one or more of our key employees or groups could seriously harm our business.
Our sole officer and director holds similar positions at another public company
Mr. Spencer has been serving as a Director, President and Chief Executive Officer at CarbonMeta Technologies, Inc. (OTCPK:COWI) since November 2008 and currently serves as Secretary and Director of Deep Green Waste & Recycling, Inc. (OTCPK:DGWR).
We may not be successful in our efforts to build a pipeline of product candidates.
A key element of our strategy is to build a pipeline of carbon and hydrogen products that are marketable. Even if we are successful in building a product pipeline, the potential product candidates that we identify may not be suitable for sale to customers for any number of reasons. If our methods of identifying potential product candidates fail to produce a pipeline of potentially viable product candidates, then our success as a business will be dependent on the success of fewer potential product candidates, which introduces risks to our business model and potential limitations to any success we may achieve.
Because competition for our target employees is intense, we may not be able to attract and retain the highly skilled employees we need to support our operations and increasing customer base.
In the technology industry, there is substantial and continuous competition for engineers with high levels of experience in designing, developing and managing software and Internet-related services, as well as competition for sales executives and operations personnel. We may not be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel. We expect to experience difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate qualifications. In addition, job candidates and existing employees often consider the value of the stock awards they receive in connection with their employment. If our stock price performs poorly, it may adversely affect our ability to retain highly skilled employees. In addition, since we expense all stock-based compensation, we may periodically change our stock compensation practices, which may include reducing the number of employees eligible for options or reducing the size of equity awards granted per employee. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate our current personnel, our business and future growth prospects could be severely harmed.
If we fail to comply with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, we could become subject to fines or penalties or incur costs that could harm our business.
The United States does not have a nationwide recycling regulation that requires businesses to recycle. Although this is the case, many state and local governments have introduced their own waste and recycling mandates that commercial businesses must follow.
When we expand our operations to process organic gases and waste materials into carbon and hydrogen products, our operations will be subject to certain foreign, federal, state and local regulatory requirements relating to environmental, and health and safety matters. The company will operate in compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements. However, material costs and liabilities may arise from these requirements or from new, modified or more stringent requirements.
If we fail to comply with appropriate regulatory requirements, then the Company could be held liable for any resulting damages, and any liability could exceed the Company’s resources. The Company also could incur significant costs associated with civil or criminal fines and penalties for failure to comply with such laws and regulations.
In addition, the Company may incur substantial costs in order to comply with current or future environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. These current or future laws and regulations may impair the Company’s discovery, preclinical development or production efforts. The Company’s failure to comply with these laws and regulations also may result in substantial fines, penalties or other sanctions.
16 |
Our business is subject to changing regulations regarding corporate governance and public disclosure that have increased both our costs and the risk of non-compliance.
We are subject to rules and regulations by various governing bodies, including, for example, the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are charged with the protection of investors and the oversight of companies whose securities are publicly traded. Our efforts to comply with new and changing regulations have resulted in and are likely to continue to result in, increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.
Moreover, because these laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance becomes available. This evolution may result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and additional costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to our disclosure and governance practices. If we fail to address and comply with these regulations and any subsequent changes, our business may be harmed.
Natural disasters and other events beyond our control could materially adversely affect us.
Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may cause damage or disruption to our operations, international commerce and the global economy, and thus could have a strong negative effect on us. Our business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, pandemics and other events beyond our control. Although we maintain crisis management and disaster response plans, such events could make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver our services to our customers and could decrease demand for our services.
We may be unable to manage growth, which may impact our potential profitability.
Successful implementation of our business strategy requires us to manage our growth. Growth could place an increasing strain on our management and financial resources. To manage growth effectively, we will need to:
● | Establish definitive business strategies, goals and objectives; | |
● | Maintain a system of management controls; and | |
● | Attract and retain qualified personnel, as well as, develop, train and manage management-level and other employees. |
If we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed, and our stock price may decline.
We may not be able to compete successfully with other established companies offering the same or similar services and, as a result, we may not achieve our projected revenue and user targets.
If we are unable to compete successfully with other businesses in our existing market, we may not achieve our projected revenue and/or targets. We compete with both start-up and established financial and technology companies. Compared to our business, some of our competitors may have greater financial and other resources, have been in business longer, have greater name recognition and be better established in the carbon nanotubes and hydrogen sectors.
17 |
Failure to manage our rapid growth effectively could increase our expenses, decrease our revenue, and prevent us from implementing our business strategy.
After funding, we expect to experience a period of rapid growth. To manage our anticipated future growth effectively, we must continue to maintain, and may need to enhance, our information technology infrastructure and financial and accounting systems and controls, as well as manage expanded operations in geographically distributed locations. We also must attract, train, and retain a significant number of qualified sales and marketing personnel, professional services personnel, software engineers, technical personnel, and management personnel. Failure to manage our rapid growth effectively could lead us to over-invest or under-invest in technology and operations; result in weaknesses in our infrastructure, systems, or controls; give rise to operational mistakes, losses, or loss of productivity or business opportunities; and result in loss of employees and reduced productivity of remaining employees. Our growth could require significant capital expenditures and may divert financial resources and management attention from other projects, such as the development of new services. If our management is unable to effectively manage our growth, our expenses may increase more than expected, our revenue could decline or may grow more slowly than expected, and we may be unable to implement our business strategy.
We depend on key employees and face competition in hiring and retaining qualified employees.
Our employees are vital to our success, and our key management and other employees are difficult to replace. We may not be able to retain highly qualified employees in the future which could adversely affect our business.
Our lack of adequate D&O insurance may also make it difficult for us to retain and attract talented and skilled directors and officers.
We may in the future be subject to additional litigation, including potential class action and stockholder derivative actions. Risks associated with legal liability are difficult to assess and quantify, and their existence and magnitude can remain unknown for significant periods of time. To date, we have not obtained directors and officers liability (“D&O”) insurance. While neither Delaware law nor our Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws require us to indemnify or advance expenses to our officers and directors involved in such a legal action, we have entered into an indemnification agreement with our President and intend to enter into similar agreements with other officers and directors in the future. Without adequate D&O insurance, the amounts we would pay to indemnify our officers and directors should they be subject to legal action based on their service to the Company could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. Furthermore, our lack of adequate D&O insurance may make it difficult for us to retain and attract talented and skilled directors and officers, which could adversely affect our business.
We may experience significant losses from operations.
Even if we do generate operating income in one or more quarters in the future, subsequent developments in our industry, customer base, business or cost structure or an event such as significant litigation or a significant transaction may cause us to again experience operating losses. We may not become profitable for the long-term, or even for any quarter.
Because competition for our target employees is intense, we may not be able to attract and retain the highly skilled employees we need to support our planned growth.
To continue to execute on our growth plan, we must attract and retain highly qualified personnel. Competition for these personnel is intense, especially for senior sales executives and engineers with high levels of experience in designing and developing software and Internet-related services. We may not be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel. We have from time to time in the past experienced, and we expect to continue to experience in the future, difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate qualifications. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater resources than we have. In addition, in making employment decisions, particularly in the Internet and high-technology industries, job candidates often consider the value of the equity awards they are to receive in connection with their employment. Volatility in the price of our stock or failure to obtain stockholder approval for increases in the number of shares available for grant under our equity plans may, therefore, adversely affect our ability to attract or retain key employees. Furthermore, the requirements to expense equity awards may discourage us from granting the size or type of equity awards that job candidates require to join our company. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate our current personnel, our business and future growth prospects could be severely harmed.
18 |
We may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of any acquisition.
The success of any acquisition will depend on, among other things, our ability to combine our businesses in a manner that does not materially disrupt existing relationships and that allows us to achieve operational synergies and capitalize on the increased brand recognition and customer base of the combined company. If we are not able to achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the acquisition may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected. In particular, the acquisition may not be accretive or accelerate sales in near or long term.
The integration process could result in the loss of key employees; the disruption of our ongoing businesses; or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures, or policies that could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with third parties and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. Integration efforts between the two companies will also divert management’s attention from our core business and other opportunities that could have been beneficial to our shareholders. An inability to realize the full extent of, or any of, the anticipated benefits of the acquisition, as well as any delays encountered in the integration process, could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations, which may affect the value of the shares of our common stock after the completion of the acquisition.
Further, the actual integration may result in additional and unforeseen expenses. Operational improvements and actual cost synergies, if achieved at all, may be lower than we expect and may take longer to achieve than we anticipate. If we are not able to adequately address these challenges, we may be unable to realize the anticipated benefits of the integration of any acquisition.

General Business Risks
Our business and operations may experience rapid growth. If we fail to manage our growth, our business and operating results could be harmed and we may have to incur significant expenditures to address the additional operational and control requirements of this growth.
We may experience rapid growth in our sales and operations, which may place significant demands on our management, operational and financial infrastructure. If we do not manage our growth, the quality of our products and services could suffer, which could negatively affect our brand and operating results. To manage this growth, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. These systems enhancements and improvements will require significant capital expenditures and allocation of valuable management resources. If the improvements are not implemented successfully, our ability to manage our growth will be impaired and we may have to make significant additional expenditures to address these issues, which could harm our financial position. The required improvements may include: Enhancing our information and communication systems to attempt to optimize proper service to our customers, and Enhancing systems of internal controls to ensure timely and accurate reporting of all of our operations
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our stock.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our brand and operating results could be harmed. We may in the future discover areas of our internal controls that need improvement. We cannot be certain that any measures we implement will ensure that we achieve and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.
We have no operating history under our new business model utilizing carbon nanotubes or hydrogen technology in an emerging and rapidly evolving market. This makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful.
We have no operating history under our new business model utilizing carbon nanotubes or hydrogen technology. You must consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we will encounter as an early-stage company in a new and rapidly evolving market. We may not be able to successfully address these risks and difficulties, which could materially harm our business and operating results.
We cannot be certain that additional financing will be available on reasonable terms when required, or at all.
From time to time, we may need additional financing. Our ability to obtain additional financing, if and when required, will depend on investor demand, our operating performance, the condition of the capital markets, and other factors. We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. We may need to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to the rights of our Common Stock, and our existing stockholders may experience dilution.

Rapid technological changes.
The industries in which the Company intends to compete with are subject to rapid technological changes. No assurances can be given that the technological advantages which may be enjoyed by the Company in respect of their technologies cannot or will not be overcome by technological advances in the respective industries rendering the Company’s technologies obsolete or non-competitive.
Lack of indications of product acceptability.
The success of the Company will be dependent upon its ability to develop commercially acceptable products and to sell such products in quantities sufficient to yield profitable results. To date, the Company has received no indications of the commercial acceptability of any of its proposed products. Accordingly, the Company cannot predict whether its products can be marketed and sold in a commercial manner.
Reliance upon third parties.
The Company does not intend on maintaining a significant technical staff nor does it intend on manufacturing its products. Rather it will rely heavily on consultants, contractors, and manufacturers to design, develop and manufacture its products. Accordingly, there is no assurance that such third parties will be available when needed at affordable prices.
Protection of intellectual property.
The success of the Company will be dependent, in part, upon the protection of its various proprietary technologies from competitive use. Certain of its technologies are the subject of various patents in varying jurisdictions. In addition to the patent applications, the Company relies on a combination of trade secrets, nondisclosure agreements and other contractual provisions to protect its intellectual property rights. Nevertheless, these measures may be inadequate to safeguard the Company’s underlying technologies. If these measures do not protect the intellectual property rights, third parties could use the Company’s technologies, and its ability to compete in the market would be reduced significantly.
In the future, the Company may be required to protect or enforce its patents and patent rights through patent litigation against third parties, such as infringement suits or interference proceedings. These lawsuits could be expensive, take significant time, and could divert management’s attention from other business concerns. These actions could put the Company’s patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly, and any patent applications at risk of not issuing. In defense of any such action, these third parties may assert claims against the Company. The Company cannot provide any assurance that it will have sufficient funds to vigorously prosecute any patent litigation, that it will prevail in any of these suits, or that the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, will be commercially valuable. During the course of these suits, there may be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions and other interim proceedings or developments in the litigation, which could result in the negative perception by investors, which could cause the price of the Company’s common stock to decline dramatically.
Risks Related to this Offering
We are a shell company pursuant to Rule 405 of the Securities Act. This may impact our ability to attract additional capital.
We have limited assets, and our operations appear to have been primarily organizational since we discontinued previous operations in 2016. We are a shell company pursuant to Rule 405 of the Securities Act. The consequences of shell company status may affect our ability attract additional capital. Under SEC Rule 144 restricted and control securities may be resold in reliance on Rule 144 unless and until the company has ceased to be a shell company, is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, during the preceding 12 months and has filed current “Form 10 information” with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity. When these conditions are satisfied, then those securities may be sold subject to the requirements Rule 144 after one year has elapsed from the date that the issuer filed “Form 10 information” with the SEC.
The unavailability of Rule 144 may affect our ability to attract additional capital as investors may not be willing to purchase restricted or control securities unless they can sell under Rule 144.

The market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
The offering price for our Common Stock will be set by us based on a number of factors and may not be indicative of prices that will prevail on OTC Markets “PINK” or elsewhere following this Offering. The price of our Common Stock may decline following this Offering. The stock market in general, and the market price of our Common Stock will likely be subject to fluctuation, whether due to, or irrespective of, our operating results, financial condition and prospects.
Our financial performance, our industry’s overall performance, changing consumer preferences, technologies and advertiser requirements, government regulatory action, tax laws and market conditions in general could have a significant impact on the future market price of our Common Stock. Some of the other factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in our share price include:
● | actual or anticipated variations in our periodic operating results; | |
● | changes in earnings estimates; | |
● | changes in market valuations of similar companies; | |
● | actions or announcements by our competitors; | |
● | adverse market reaction to any increased indebtedness we may incur in the future; | |
● | additions or departures of key personnel; | |
● | actions by stockholders; | |
● | speculation in the press or investment community; and | |
● | our intentions and ability to list our Common Stock on a national securities exchange and our subsequent ability to maintain such listing. |
We do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
We do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will invest future earnings in the development and growth of our business. Therefore, holders of our Common Stock will not receive any return on their investment unless they sell their securities, and holders may be unable to sell their securities on favorable terms or at all.
Because we do not have an audit or compensation committee, shareholders will have to rely on our directors, none of whom is not independent, to perform these functions.
We do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of an independent director. Indeed, we do not have any audit or compensation committee. The Board of Directors performs these functions as a whole. No members of the Board of Directors are an independent director. Thus, there is a potential conflict in that board members who are also part of management will participate in discussions concerning management compensation and audit issues that may affect management decisions.
Because we lack certain internal controls over financial reporting in that we do not have an audit committee and our Board of Directors has no technical knowledge of U.S. GAAP and internal control of financial reporting and relies upon the Company’s financial personnel to advise the Board on such matters, we are subject to increased risk related to financial statement disclosures.
We lack certain internal controls over financial reporting in that we do not have an audit committee and our Board of Directors has no technical knowledge of U.S. GAAP and internal control of financial reporting and relies upon the Company’s financial personnel to advise the Board on such matters. Accordingly, we are subject to increased risk related to financial statement disclosures.
Our sole officer and director holds a significant percentage of our outstanding voting securities, which could reduce the ability of minority shareholders to effect certain corporate actions.
Our sole officer and director, Lloyd Spencer, is the beneficial owner of 552,177,763 shares of common stock, 60,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, 85,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock and 25,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock, which controls 90% of the voting securities prior to the Offering and 83% of our outstanding voting securities after the Offering, assuming all 2,781,937,537 shares of common stock in this Offering are sold. Mr. Spencer is the owner of 100% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Series G Preferred stock. The Company’s Series G Preferred stock has voting rights equal to 5,000,000 votes per each one share. As such, Mr. Spencer has voting rights equal to 125,000,000,000 shares of common stock and thus control of any item brought before shareholders requiring a vote. As a result of this ownership, Mr. Spencer possesses and can continue to possess significant influence and can elect and can continue to elect a majority of our Board of Directors and authorize or prevent proposed significant corporate transactions. Mr. Spencer’s ownership and control may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a future change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer.
There exists the potential risk and conflict of interest presented by the ability of Mr. Spencer to retain majority control of the Company’s voting power while reducing, potentially significantly, his economic interest in the Company’s shares. Although Mr. Spencer may be able to sell his entire economic interest in the Company’s common stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock, Mr. Spencer would retain control over the company by maintaining his Series G Preferred Stock.
Upon completion of this offering, we will be subject to the current and periodic reporting requirements.
Upon the effectiveness of this registration statement, we will be subject to the periodic and current reporting requirements required by Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act, and any amendments thereof.

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements involves the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions, and our consolidated financial statements may be materially affected if such estimates, judgments or assumptions prove to be inaccurate.
Financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) typically require the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Often, different estimates, judgments and assumptions could reasonably be used that would have a material effect on such financial statements, and changes in these estimates, judgments and assumptions may occur from period to period over time. Significant areas of accounting requiring the application of management’s judgment include, but are not limited to, determining the fair value of assets and the timing and amount of cash flows from assets. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain and, if our estimates were to prove to be wrong, we would face the risk that charges to income or other financial statement changes or adjustments would be required. Any such charges or changes could harm our business, including our financial condition and results of operations and the price of our securities. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of the accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are the most critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements and our business.
If securities industry analysts do not publish research reports on us, or publish unfavorable reports on us, then the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.
Any trading market for our Common Stock will be influenced in part by any research reports that securities industry analysts publish about us. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities industry analysts. If no securities industry analysts commence coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected. In the event we are covered by analysts, and one or more of such analysts downgrade our securities, or otherwise reports on us unfavorably, or discontinues coverage or us, the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.
Future issuances of our Common Stock or securities convertible into our Common Stock, or the expiration of lock-up agreements that restrict the issuance of new Common Stock or the trading of outstanding stock, could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline and would result in the dilution of your shareholding.
Future issuances of our Common Stock or securities convertible into our Common Stock, and/or conversion of the Notes convertible into Common Stock, or the expiration of lock-up agreements that restrict the sale of Common Stock by selling shareholders, or the trading of outstanding stock, could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline. We cannot predict the effect, if any, of the exercise of conversion of the Notes into Common Stock or other future issuances of our Common Stock or securities convertible into our Common Stock, or the future expirations of lock-up agreements, on the price of our Common Stock. In all events, future issuances of our Common Stock would result in the dilution of your shareholding. In addition, the perception that locked-up parties will sell their securities when the lock-ups expire, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.
Our shares are subject to the penny stock rules, making it more difficult to trade our shares.
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If the price of our Common Stock is less than $5.00, our Common Stock will be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our Common Stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.

Our Common Stock and Our Shareholders May Be Subject to Significant Dilution
If all Convertible Notes were converted as of the date of this filing, shareholders would undergo significant dilution to their holdings. Based on the latest trading price of our shares, the Company may be subject to issuing 33,315,040,282 common shares assuming full conversion of all the notes, which would require 100% of the total outstanding common shares. See Convertible Notes in the MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION.
Some of the convertible notes are convertible at floating rates below the then-prevailing market price and, as a result, the lower the stock price at the time the holder converts, the more common shares the holder gets. For these floating rate convertible notes, NOTE H – CONVERTIBLE DEBT, NET within the Company’s financial statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 discloses the range of the discounts to the market price used to determine the conversion prices. For these floating rate convertible notes, there may be no limit on how low the conversion price can be, which means that there may be no limit on the number of shares that the company may be obligated to issue.
To the extent the noteholders convert these floating rate notes and then sell the common stock, the common stock price may decrease due to the additional shares in the market. This could allow the noteholders to receive greater amounts of common stock, the sales of which would further depress the stock price.
The interest payable on the convertible notes is also convertible into shares of common stock. Disclose that the lower the common stock price, the more shares of common stock the holders of the convertible debentures will receive in payment of interest. NOTE H – CONVERTIBLE DEBT, NET within the Company’s financial statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 discloses the range of interest rates and how much has accrued as of a recent date.
The conversion of convertible notes may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of common stock since noteholders may ultimately convert and sell the full amount issuable on conversion. Even if the noteholders are prohibited from converting notes if the shares would exceed a certain percentage of the company’s then-outstanding common stock (such as 4.99% or 9.99%), this restriction does not prevent the noteholders from converting and selling some of their holdings and then converting again to receive additional shares. In this way, the noteholders could sell more than these limits while never holding more than the limits. See Convertible Notes in the MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION.
The table below shows the number of shares that could be issued upon conversion of the notes (including principal and accrued interest) based upon a reasonable range of market prices and conversion prices. The range includes market prices, 25% below, 50% below and 75% below the most recent closing prices.

As of the date of this filing, the Company has 19,014,386,254 shares of common stock outstanding. In the event the Company were required to issue additional shares of common stock for the conversion of all outstanding convertible notes, the Company would have a deficit of available shares of common stock to issue. As such, the Company may be required to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock or implement a reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock in order to have the required number of shares to issue. Lloyd Spencer, the Company’s sole officer and director, can increase the number of authorized common or preferred shares to any amount even if other shareholders disagree since Mr. Spencer holds high-voting securities (Series G Preferred Stock) and has voting control over any matter submitted for shareholder approval. Such increases in authorized common or preferred shares and the issuance of a significant number of shares upon conversion and exercise of the convertible notes and preferred stock and exercise of the warrants would have a negative impact on the price of the company’s shares and significant dilutive effects on company shareholders.
Beginning in 2021, the Company began working cooperatively with note holders to extinguish dilutive convertible notes, as well as working cooperatively with note holders to amend dilutive convertible notes with fixed conversion features. The company continues to work cooperatively with note holders with the objective of extinguishing or renegotiating dilutive convertible notes, although we can offer no guarantee that these negotiations will be successful. The Company does not anticipate that it will issue any additional convertible notes with variable conversion features, but that it may issue additional convertible notes with fixed price conversion features in an effort to extinguish the former.

NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements under “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Description of Business” and elsewhere in this prospectus may be “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements include, among other things, statements regarding:
● | our ability to scale up the microwave catalysis processes that reportedly work in a laboratory setting; | |
● | our ability to reliably source the materials from our supply chain partners in order to supply EarthCrete Cementless Concrete mix to our customers; | |
● | our ability to attract enough investment in order to properly finance the capital and operational expenses needed to establish the business; | |
● | our ability to apply for and win significant government grants that will help the Company compete well in a rapidly growing marketplace; | |
● | our ability to identify government regulations and spending bills that can help the Company compete; | |
● | our ability to identify joint ventures and strategic business relationships; and | |
● | our ability to carefully manage our cost of revenues, development expenses, sales and marketing expenses, and general and administrative expenses. |
25 |
as well as other statements regarding our future operations, financial condition and prospects, and business strategies. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those described above and those risks discussed from time to time in this registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, including the risks described under “Risk Factors.” Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances that occur in the future.
If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from what we may have projected. Any forward-looking statements you read in this prospectus reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, results of operations, financial condition, growth strategy and liquidity. You should specifically consider the factors identified in this prospectus that could cause actual results to differ before making an investment decision. In addition, as discussed in “Risk Factors,” our shares may be considered a “penny stock” and, as a result, the safe harbors provided for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws may not be available to us.
TAX CONSIDERATIONS
We are not providing any tax advice as to the acquisition, holding or disposition of the securities offered herein. In making an investment decision, investors are strongly encouraged to consult their own tax advisor to determine the U.S. Federal, state and any applicable foreign tax consequences relating to their investment in our securities.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Shareholders and any of its pledgees, donees, assignees and other successors-in-interest may, from time to time sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on any market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. On January 9, 2023, the last reported sales price for our Common Stock was $0.0003 per share. Because our Common Stock is subject to quotation on OTC Pink Market, our Common Stock may only be offered and sold by the Selling Shareholders at a fixed price of $0.0005 per share until the shares of common stock are listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on the OTCQX or OTCQB, at which time they may be sold at prevailing market prices. We urge prospective purchasers of our Common Stock to obtain current information about the market prices of our Common Stock.
● | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits the purchaser; | |
● | 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; | |
● | facilitate the transaction; | |
● | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; | |
● | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
● | 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; | |
● | through the writing of options on the shares; | |
● | a combination of any such methods of sale; and | |
● | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. The selling stockholders shall have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if it deems the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.
The selling stockholders or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that a selling stockholder will attempt to sell shares of common stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then existing market price. We cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in this prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders and any brokers, dealers or agents, upon effecting the sale of any of the shares offered in this prospectus, may be deemed to be “underwriters” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of such acts. 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.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, including fees and disbursements of counsel to the selling stockholders, but excluding brokerage commissions or underwriter discounts.
The selling stockholders, alternatively, may sell all or any part of the shares offered in this prospectus through an underwriter. The selling stockholders have not entered into any agreement with a prospective underwriter and there is no assurance that any such agreement will be entered into.
The selling stockholders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a selling stockholder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares. The selling stockholders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations under such Act, including, without limitation, Regulation M. These provisions may restrict certain activities of and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by, the selling stockholders or any other such person. In the event that any of the selling stockholders are deemed an affiliated purchaser or distribution participant within the meaning of Regulation M, then the selling stockholders will not be permitted to engage in short sales of common stock. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other activities with respect to such securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. In addition, if a short sale is deemed to be a stabilizing activity, then the selling stockholders will not be permitted to engage in a short sale of our common stock. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares.
If a selling stockholder notifies us that it has a material arrangement with a broker-dealer for the resale of the common stock, then we would be required to amend the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and file a prospectus supplement to describe the agreements between the selling stockholder and the broker-dealer.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Law
Certain provisions of our charter documents and Delaware law could have an anti-takeover effect and could delay, discourage or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider to be in its best interests, including attempts that might otherwise result in a premium being paid over the market price of our common stock.
Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in our management without the consent of our board of directors, including, among other things:
● | no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates; |
the ability of our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer; | |
● | the exclusive right of our board of directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of our board of directors or the resignation, death or removal of a director, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our board of directors; |
● | a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders; |
● | the requirement that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by a majority vote of our board of directors or by stockholders holding shares of our common stock representing in the aggregate a majority of votes then outstanding, which could delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors; |
● | the ability of our board of directors, by majority vote, to amend our by-laws, which may allow our board of directors to take additional actions to prevent a hostile acquisition and inhibit the ability of an acquirer to amend our by-laws to facilitate a hostile acquisition; and |
● | advance notice procedures with which stockholders must comply to nominate candidates to our board of directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us. |
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute
We are also subject to certain anti-takeover provisions under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or the DGCL. Under Section 203 of the DGCL, a corporation may not, in general, engage in a business combination with any holder of 15% or more of its capital stock unless the holder has held the stock for three years or (i) our board of directors approves the transaction prior to the stockholder acquiring the 15% ownership position, (ii) upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder acquiring the 15% ownership position, the stockholder owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock (excluding shares owned by directors or officers and shares owned by certain employee stock plans) or (iii) the transaction is approved by the board of directors and by the stockholders at an annual or special meeting by a vote of 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock (excluding shares held or controlled by the interested stockholder). These provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws and under Delaware law could discourage potential takeover attempts.
Preferred Stock
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001, with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by its Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.
Series A, B, C, E and F Preferred Shares do not have any voting rights as disclosed in their respective certificates of designation. Nonetheless, Delaware corporate law provides that a “class vote” is required if the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (a) Increases or decreases the par value of the shares of the affected class(es); (b) increases or decreases the aggregate number of authorized shares of the affected class(es); or (c) adversely affects the powers, preferences, or special rights of the shares of such class.

Overview
CarbonMeta Technologies, Inc. (f/k/a CoroWare, Inc.) (“CarbonMeta”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a publicly quoted environmental research and development company that is commercializing technologies for processing organic wastes into hydrogen and high-value carbon products economically and sustainably.
The Company was incorporated on July 8, 2001, under the laws of the State of Delaware, as SRM Networks, Inc. In connection with the acquisition of Hy-Tech Computer Systems, Inc. on January 31, 2003, the Company changed its name to Hy-Tech Technology Group, Inc. In connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger Robotics Workspace Technology, Inc., Innova Holdings, Inc. and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, RWT Acquisition, Inc., dated July 21, 2004, the Company’s name changed to Innova Holdings, Inc. Subsequently, on November 20, 2006, the Company changed its name to Innova Robotics and Automation, Inc. and then on April 23, 2008, the Company changed its name to CoroWare, Inc. On or about July 28, 2021, the Company filed Articles of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware to reflect a name change from CoroWare, Inc. to CarbonMeta Technologies, Inc.
The Company was a reporting company with the Securities and Exchange Commission until October 2016, when the Company’s gross margins and financing costs became unsustainable. In 2020, the Company began investigating emerging technologies and sustainable growth business opportunities related to the production of hydrogen and high value carbon products from organic waste streams. After careful consideration of the potential market opportunities and the partnership with Oxford University, the Company took the decision to raise capital in the public market and therefore become an SEC reporting company again.
The Company has six wholly-owned subsidiaries: CoroWare Technologies, Inc. (“CTI”), CoroWare Robotics Solutions, Inc. (“CRS”), RWT Acquisition, Inc. (“RWT”), Carbon Sources, Inc. (“CS”), Coroware Treasury, Inc. (“CWT”), CarbonMeta Research Ltd. (‘CMR”) and a 51% interest in AriCon, LLC (“AriCon).
CoroWare Technologies (“CTI”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on May 16, 2006 and its principal business was a software professional services company with a strong focus on information technology integration and robotics integration, business automation solutions, and unmanned systems solutions to its customers in North America and Europe.
CoroWare Robotics Solutions, Inc. (“CRS”) was incorporated in the State of Texas on February 27, 2015, and its principal business was as a technology incubation company whose focus was on the delivery of mobile robotics and IOT products, solutions and services for university, government and corporate researchers, and enterprise customers. CRS’s business operations were discontinued in October 2016 when the Company’s gross margins and financing costs became unsustainable.
Robotic Workspace Technologies, Inc. (“RWT”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on July 1, 1994, and its principal business was developing and marketing open-architecture PC controls and related products that could improve the performance, applicability, and productivity of robots and other automated equipment. RWT’s business operations were discontinued in September 2007 when the Company’s losses became unsustainable.
Carbon Source, Inc. (“CS”) was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on June 14, 2021 and its principal business is waste reclamation technologies and processing.
CoroWare Treasury, Inc. (“CWT”) was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on July 6, 2021 and its principal business is acquisitions related to acquiring technologies and subsidiary businesses related to waste processing.
CarbonMeta Research Ltd. (‘CMR”) was incorporated in England and Wales on August 12, 2021 and its principal business will focus on the development of technologies and solutions for processing organic wastes and generating economically sustainable hydrogen and high-value carbon products. Using proprietary and patented technologies, it plans to implement new industrial methods using inexpensive, environmentally friendly catalysts that process collected plastic waste material into high value products such as hydrogen gas, graphene and carbon nanotubes.
AriCon, LLC (“AriCon) was a joint venture that was intended to develop mobile robot platforms, applications, and solutions for the construction industry. In October 2016, AriCon ceased operations of all subsidiary business operations when the Company’s losses became unsustainable, and the Company was not able to obtain investment financing.
In 2021, the Company began investigating emerging technologies, strategic intellectual property partnerships, and sustainable growth business opportunities related to the production of hydrogen and high value carbon products from organic waste streams. Working cooperatively with Oxford University Innovation, CarbonMeta plans to implement proven and patented technologies to add value to organic waste streams. By utilizing these proven proprietary technologies, collected and captured plastic waste material can be upcycled to high value products such as carbon nanotubes (“CNTs”) and hydrogen gas.
CNTs can be used for improved electrical conduction and reinforcing materials that are used in a wide variety of industries including the automotive industry, aviation industry, medical industry, and construction. The number one growth driver is the increasing need for high performance batteries for the electric vehicle market.
Plastic waste is a cheap and abundant feedstock that will allow the Company to scale quickly and produce hydrogen gas for a competitive price.
In FY-2022, the Company anticipates generating waste catalysis revenues through technology assessment projects with one or more customers in the global energy or waste management industries. The technology assessments will provide these customers early visibility into the value of microwave catalysis for processing waste plastics, biowastes, or other organic wastes.
In FY-2022, the Company generated market demand for its cement-less concrete through an Interim Joint Product Development and Sales Representation Agreement with Salvum Corporation. Moving forward the two companies formed a Joint Venture Agreement on August 28, 2022 whose purpose is the development, marketing and sales of Earthcrete cement-less concrete.
In FY-2023 and beyond, CarbonMeta Technologies anticipates growing its business by licensing its technologies and processes to potential customers or establishing joint venture companies to whom the Company will sublicense its technologies and processes in order to generate revenues directly.
In FY-2024, CarbonMeta Technologies may establish wholly owned subsidiaries to whom the Company will sublicense its technologies and processes in order to generate revenues directly.

Financing Needs
In order to fund our operations, we rely upon direct investments with accredited investors, joint ventures, and customer revenues. Once the Company becomes profitable, we intend to fund our operations from free cash flow.
At present, the Company only has sufficient funds to conduct its operations for three to six months. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.
If we are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from Company operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations liquidity and financial condition.
The Company presently does not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. Due to its brief history and historical operating losses, the Company’s operations have not been a source of liquidity. The Company will need to obtain additional capital in order to expand operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, the Company may need to sell additional shares of its common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional funding.
The Company will need additional investments in order to continue operations. Additional investments are being sought, but the Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to obtain such investments. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. In the event there is a downturn in the U.S. stock and debt markets, this could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if the Company is able to raise the funds required, it is possible that it could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to it, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force it to seek alternative financing. Further, if the Company issues additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, net cash (used in) operating activities was ($242,643) and ($147,844), respectively. The increase in net cash (used in) operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was largely attributable to a net (loss) of ($422,947) offset by a gain from derivative liabilities of ($981,881) and accounts payable and accrued expenses of $923,102.

The increase in net cash provided from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was largely attributable to proceeds from convertible debt financing in the amount of $243,400.
At September 30, 2022, we had current assets of $19,650, current liabilities of $25,651,033, a working capital deficit of $25,631,383 and an accumulated deficit of $64,807,335.
At December 31, 2021, we had current assets of $40,573, current liabilities of $26,046,833, a working capital deficit of $26,006,260 and an accumulated deficit of $64,404,388.
We presently do not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. We will need to obtain additional capital in order to expand operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, we may need to sell additional shares of our common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding. We will still need additional capital in order to continue operations until we are able to achieve positive operating cash flow. Additional capital is being sought, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain such investments. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations.
Satisfaction of Outstanding Liabilities
There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources to satisfy these outstanding liabilities. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business.
40 |
We currently have no external sources of liquidity such as arrangements with credit institutions or off-balance sheet arrangements that will have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or immediate access to capital.
We are dependent on the sale of our securities to fund our operations and will remain so until we generate sufficient revenues to pay for our operating costs. Our officers and directors have made no written commitments with respect to providing a source of liquidity in the form of cash advances, loans and/or financial guarantees.
If we are unable to raise the funds, we will seek alternative financing through means such as borrowings from institutions or private individuals. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the capital we need for our operations from the sale of our securities. We have not located any sources for these funds and may not be able to do so in the future. We expect that we will seek additional financing in the future. However, we may not be able to obtain additional capital or generate sufficient revenues to fund our operations. If we are unsuccessful at raising sufficient funds, for whatever reason, to fund our operations, we may be forced to cease operations. If we fail to raise funds, we expect that we will be required to seek protection from creditors under applicable bankruptcy laws.
Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and believes that our ability is dependent on our ability to implement our business plan, raise capital and generate revenues. Please see NOTE C - GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY within the Company’s financial statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 for further information.

The Company’s legacy financing contains unfavorable terms that contributed to dilution and negatively impacted the Company’s market price, and therefore posed a challenge to attracting investment under more favorable. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company began the process of extinguishing or renegotiating the terms of this unfavorable legacy debt. During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company began realizing revenues, and intends to grow its business with key customers directly and through joint venture companies. As a result, the Company has been able to attract investments with third parties that are more favorable to the company, thereby reducing potential dilution.

Required Capital Over the Next Twelve Months
We expect to incur losses from operations for the near future. We believe we will have to raise an additional $2,500,000 to fund our operations over the next twelve months, including roughly $50,000 to remain current in our filings with the SEC. The additional funds will be utilized for hiring ancillary staff and key personnel, corporate website and SEO development, acquisition(s) in the waste and recycling management sector and day-to-day operations.
Future financing may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, existing holders of our securities may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our securities.
If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be required to delay or alter our business plan based on available financing.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See the Notes to the Financial Statements for more information.
OTC Bulletin Board Considerations
As discussed elsewhere in this registration statement, the Company’s common stock is currently traded on the OTC Markets “PINK” under the symbol “COWI.”
BUSINESS
Overview of CarbonMeta Technologies, Inc.
CarbonMeta Technologies, Inc. (“CarbonMeta”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a publicly quoted environmental research and development company that is commercializing technologies for processing organic wastes into hydrogen and high-value carbon products economically and sustainably.
The Company was incorporated on July 8, 2001, under the laws of the State of Delaware, as SRM Networks, Inc. In connection with the acquisition of Hy-Tech Computer Systems, Inc. on January 31, 2003, the Company changed its name to Hy-Tech Technology Group, Inc. In connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger Robotics Workspace Technology, Inc., Innova Holdings, Inc. and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, RWT Acquisition, Inc., dated July 21, 2004, the Company’s name changed to Innova Holdings, Inc. Subsequently, on November 20, 2006, the Company changed its name to Innova Robotics and Automation, Inc., and then on April 23, 2008, the Company changed its name to CoroWare, Inc.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Director owns all (25,000) issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Series G Preferred Stock, which has voting rights equal to 5,000,000 votes for each share of Series G held; and 60,000 shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock, which has voting rights equal to 100,000 votes for each share of Series D held. As of the date of this filing, our Chief Executive Officer would have voting rights equal to 131,552,177,763 shares (125,000,000,000 voting shares through the Series G Preferred Stock; 6,000,000,000 voting shares through the Series D Preferred Stock; and 552,177,763 shares of common stock held) or approximately 85% of the shares available to vote for a matter brought before shareholders.
On or about July 28, 2021, the Company filed Articles of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware to reflect a name change from CoroWare, Inc. to CarbonMeta Technologies, Inc.
The Company was an SEC reporting company until October 2016, when the Company’s gross margins and financing costs became unsustainable, and the company ceased operations in October 2016. From 2017 - 2018, the Company investigated multiple business opportunities, but could not pursue them without investor support. In 2020, the Company began investigating emerging technologies and sustainable growth business opportunities related to the production of hydrogen and high value carbon products from organic waste streams. After careful consideration of the potential market opportunities and the partnership with Oxford University, the Company took the decision to raise capital in the public market and therefore become an SEC reporting company again.
The Company has six wholly-owned subsidiaries: CoroWare Technologies, Inc. (“CTI”), CoroWare Robotics Solutions, Inc. (“CRS”), RWT Acquisition, Inc. (“RWT”), Carbon Sources, Inc. (“CS”), Coroware Treasury, Inc. (“CWT”), CarbonMeta Research Ltd. (‘CMR”) and a 51% interest in AriCon, LLC (“AriCon).
CoroWare Technologies (“CTI”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on May 16, 2006 and its principal business was a software professional services company with a strong focus on information technology integration and robotics integration, business automation solutions and unmanned systems solutions to its customers in North America and Europe.
CoroWare Robotics Solutions, Inc. (“CRS”) was incorporated in the State of Texas on February 27, 2015, and its principal business was as a technology incubation company whose focus was on the delivery of mobile robotics and IOT products, solutions and services for university, government and corporate researchers, and enterprise customers. CRS’s business operations were discontinued in October 2016 when the Company’s gross margins and financing costs became unsustainable.
Robotic Workspace Technologies, Inc. (“RWT”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on July 1, 1994, and its principal business was developing and marketing open-architecture PC controls and related products that could improve the performance, applicability, and productivity of robots and other automated equipment. RWT’s business operations were discontinued in September 2007 when the Company’s losses became unsustainable.
Carbon Source, Inc. (“CS”) was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on June 14, 2021 and its principal business is waste reclamation technologies and processing.
42 |
CoroWare Treasury, Inc. (“CWT”) was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on July 6, 2021 and its principal business is acquisitions related to acquiring technologies and subsidiary businesses related to waste processing.
CarbonMeta Research Ltd. (‘CMR”) was incorporated in England and Wales on August 12, 2021 and its principal business will focus on the development of technologies and solutions for processing organic wastes and generating economically sustainable hydrogen and high-value carbon products. Using proprietary and patented technologies, it plans to implement new industrial methods using inexpensive, environmentally friendly catalysts that process collected plastic waste material into high value products such as hydrogen gas, graphene and carbon nanotubes.
AriCon, LLC (“AriCon) was a joint venture that was intended to develop mobile robot platforms, applications, and solutions for the construction industry. In October 2016, AriCon ceased operations of all subsidiary business operations when the Company’s losses became unsustainable, and the Company was not able to obtain investment financing.
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, the company earned its first revenues with two customers. We believe that the Company will continue to grow its revenues through microwave catalysis trial projects with energy companies, and EarthCrete deployments with construction contractor companies. In addition, the company is actively pursuing federal government grants that can accelerate the Company’s anticipated growth of these businesses.
In 2021, the Company began investigating emerging technologies, strategic intellectual property partnerships, and sustainable growth business opportunities related to the production of hydrogen and high value carbon products from organic waste streams. Working cooperatively with Oxford University Innovation, CarbonMeta plans to implement proven and patented technologies to add value to organic waste streams. By utilizing these proven proprietary technologies, collected and captured plastic waste material can be upcycled to high value products such as carbon nanotubes (“CNTs”) and hydrogen gas.
CNTs can be used for improved electrical conduction and reinforcing materials that are used in a wide variety of industries including the automotive industry, aviation industry, medical industry, and construction. The number one growth driver is the increasing need for high performance batteries for the electric vehicle market.
Plastic waste is a cheap and abundant feedstock that will allow the Company to scale quickly and produce hydrogen gas for a competitive price.
In order to relaunch CarbonMeta in a new market and industry, the Company has adopted the following plan:
● | Acquire or develop patents that will help the Company establish its competitive position and generate service and royalty revenues with potential customers; | |
● | Form joint venture corporations with global energy partners and local communities to generate revenues from processing organic waste materials into high value products such as hydrogen gas, graphene and carbon nanotubes; | |
● | Form joint venture corporations with commercial construction contractors to form businesses that can produce “carbon negative” construction materials for green building projects; | |
● | Apply for government grants and loans in the United Kingdom, European Union and United States that encourage the development of high value production of hydrogen and high value carbon products from organic waste streams; | |
● | Develop new proprietary and patented technologies to implement new industrial methods that can use inexpensive, environmentally friendly catalysts to process collected plastic waste material into high value products such as hydrogen gas, graphene and carbon nanotubes; and | |
● | Attract investment funds who will actively work with the Company to achieve these goals and help the Company grow rapidly during the next 3 years. |

Some potential joint venture candidates have been identified and discussions initiated. These candidates are within the Company’s core business model, serving commercial properties, accretive to cash flow, and geographically favorable. One of these joint ventures, CarbonMeta Green Building Materials LLC will be focused on the development at marketing of construction mix products that are carbon-negative. Two other joint ventures under discussion are focused on processing waste plastics into hydrogen and high value carbon products. We plan to fund these joint ventures with customer purchase orders and invoice payments, federal loans, federal grants, and commercial loans.
We have unrestricted discretion in seeking and participating in a business opportunity, subject to the availability of such opportunities, economic conditions, and other factors.
The selection of a business opportunity in which to participate is complex and risky. Additionally, we have only limited resources and may find it difficult to locate good opportunities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify and acquire any business opportunity which will ultimately prove to be beneficial to us and our shareholders. We will select any potential business opportunity based on our management’s best business judgment.
45 |
Our activities are subject to several significant risks, which arise primarily as a result of the fact that we have no specific business and may acquire or participate in a business opportunity based on the decision of management, which potentially could act without the consent, vote, or approval of our shareholders. The risks faced by us are further increased as a result of its lack of resources and our inability to provide a prospective business opportunity with significant capital.
Patents/Trademarks
We currently hold no patents or trademarks.
Research & Development
The Company will continue to engage in research and development expenses. These will consist primarily of salaries, and benefits for employees who are responsible for building new products as well as improving existing products. We will expense all of our research and development costs as they are incurred.
Compliance Expenses
Our company incurs annual expenses to comply with state corporate governance and business licensing requirements. We estimate these costs to be under $2,000 per year for the establishment of foreign corporations in other states that we plan to operate.
Labor and Other Supplies
We currently have one part-time employee. We contract all labor for public company governance services, website development, accounting, legal and daily activities outside of management.
Principal Products or Services and Markets
The Company is in the business of developing and marketing technologies and solutions that can process organic and construction wastes into economically high-value and ecologically sustainable products.
The Company is partnering with a microwave reactor manufacturer in the United States to “scale up” the patented waste plastics microwave processes that the Company licensed from Oxford University Innovation, and with a university partner in the United States to separate, purify and characterize carbon nanotubes that the UK and US developers shall produce.
The principal products that the Company intends to market comprise:
● | amorphous carbon, graphite, nano-graphite, graphene, carbon nanotubes, and hydrogen; and | |
● | carbon-negative building products that help alleviate climate change by capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) for renewable energy projects. |
Seasonality
We do not expect any seasonality in our business.
Leases
The Company anticipates its most significant lease obligations will be classified as fixed assets that will be used in the normal course of its business. Some lease obligations may include renewal or purchase options, escalation clauses, restrictions, penalties or other obligations that we will consider in determining minimum lease payments. The leases will be classified as either operating leases or capital leases, as appropriate.
46 |
Governmental Regulation
At this moment, the Company is not subject to governmental and environmental regulations. As such the Company’s research subsidiary, CarbonMeta Research Ltd., will be prototyping and refining novel technologies, such as microwave catalysis of plastics and methane, and then transferring those developed and patented technologies into joint venture subsidiary companies.
Each joint venture subsidiary company would be subject to certain foreign, federal, state and local regulatory requirements relating to environmental, and health and safety matters; and will operate in compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements.
Environmental Regulation
When each joint venture subsidiary company becomes operational, the Company will disclose the material costs and liabilities that arose and may arise from these applicable regulatory requirements.
If a joint venture subsidiary company fails to comply with appropriate regulatory requirements, then the Company could be held liable for any resulting damages, and any liability could exceed the Company’s resources. The Company also could incur significant costs associated with civil or criminal fines and penalties for failure to comply with such laws and regulations.
In addition, the Company may incur substantial costs in order to comply with current or future environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. These current or future laws and regulations may impair the Company’s discovery, preclinical development or production efforts. The Company’s failure to comply with these laws and regulations also may result in substantial fines, penalties or other sanctions.
If we fail to comply with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, we could become subject to fines or penalties or incur costs that could harm our business.
Competition
CarbonMeta is pursuing a business strategy that is similar to other companies, but we will be using proprietary and patented technologies that are unique in the industry. Nevertheless, there are many other companies that are already producing carbon nanotubes, including:
● | Advanced Material Development | |
● | Carbon Solutions, Inc. | |
● | Cnano Technology. | |
● | First Graphene | |
● | Hyperion Catalysis | |
● | Nanocyl S.A. | |
● | NanoIntegris | |
● | Raymor Nanotech | |
● | Tuball |
Our technologies may also allow us to compete with producers of grey, blue and green hydrogen gas. When utilizing electrical energy from sustainable sources, our hydrogen gas can be considered as green hydrogen and therefore sustainable.
As with the carbon nanotubes, there are many other companies that are already producing hydrogen gas, including:
● | PowerTap Hydrogen Capital Corp | |
● | Sunhydrogen Inc. | |
● | Ways2H | |
● | SGH2 |
47 |
● | Standard Hydrogen Corp | |
● | Powerhouse Energygroup | |
● | Hydrogen Utopia International | |
● | Japan Blue Energy | |
● | Wabash Valley Resources | |
● | Raven SR | |
● | Bayotech | |
● | Electro Active |
Our potential competitors may have greater resources, better access to capital, longer histories, more intellectual property and lower cost operations.
They may secure better terms during the investment negotiation process, make strategic decisions more quickly than us and devote more capital to better performing investments than we do.
Our competitors may also enter into business combinations or alliances that strengthen their competitive positions.
Market opportunity
An estimated 8.3 billion metric tonnes of plastic waste have been generated to date, with a mere 9% of that volume being recycled, 12% incinerated and 79% going to landfills. In 2016, the world generated 242 million tonnes of plastic waste—12 percent of all municipal solid waste, according to The World Bank. This plastic waste primarily originated from three regions—57 million tonnes from East Asia and the Pacific, 45 million tonnes from Europe and Central Asia, and 35 million tonnes from North America.
Each year an additional 300 million tonnes of plastic waste are produced, which is projected to continue. According to the original study published in Science Advances, by 2050, there will be 12 billion metric tons of plastic in landfills.
Lack of proper waste management results in plastic waste reaching earth’s oceans. Several organizations are monitoring the abundance of plastic debris in rivers and oceans. Researchers, universities, and non-profit initiatives all conclude that plastic waste form a hazard for marine wildlife and should be captured, preferably before reaching earth’s oceans. Organizations such as The Ocean Cleanup are making great progress in capturing a portion of the plastic waste streams; however, processing this captured plastic is still a challenge.
Over the past few years, several organizations introduced methods to use plastic waste as a feedstock to produce high value materials. Some organizations offer plastic waste recycling solutions that transform unsorted, unwashed waste plastic into liquid fuels; however, these solutions do not address the worldwide objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Pyrolysis is a common technique used to convert plastic and organic wastes into energy, in the form of solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels. Different catalysts are used to improve the pyrolysis process and improve efficiency. However, catalysts are expensive, thus making the overall process less profitable. Moreover, this process is also energy-intensive, and the resulting oil product requires additional energy to be further refined. Pyrolysis also requires emission treatment technologies since some gasses produced through this method are toxic.
Working cooperatively with university and industry partners, CarbonMeta Technologies plans to implement new industrial processes that selectively break carbon-hydrogen bonds in plastics waste using inexpensive, environmentally friendly iron-based catalysts to yield high purity hydrogen and high value carbons. Using these proven proprietary technologies, collected plastic waste material can be upcycled to high value products such as hydrogen gas, graphene and carbon nanotubes.
Businesses worldwide are seeking solutions to decarbonize transportation and power generation; and affordable high purity carbon products for industrial processes such as steel production and electric vehicle batteries.
48 |
Hydrogen has been identified as an affordable and clean solution for decarbonizing transportation, and the market production has been projected to grow from $129B in 2020 to $219B in 2030.

Today, the majority of the world’s graphite is produced in China primarily through mining and increasingly by industrial production. Similarly, the majority of the world’s carbon nanotubes are produced in China using an energy intensive plasma vapor deposition process.
CarbonMeta Technologies is developing a technology that uses microwave catalysis to heat waste plastics and biowaste in the absence of oxygen to produce hydrogen and solid carbon without the generation of CO2. The technology, which was developed by the University of Oxford, is scalable and modular, and has the potential to process millions of tons of plastic worldwide.
CarbonMeta Technologies plans to achieve this scale through partnerships and joint venture partnerships with global energy companies, waste management companies, and waste remediation companies worldwide.
Growth Issues
Scalability
CarbonMeta has been and will continue to partner with leading edge materials research taking place at Oxford University and other universities that are developing unique solutions for processing organic waste into high value hydrogen and carbon products.
Insufficient Capital
Currently, CarbonMeta is confronted with the need to attract and retain a consistent investment source in order to grow our operations rapidly. If CarbonMeta is not funded properly, it will prevent us from capturing a significant portion of the market. To establish a first-mover advantage in this space, CarbonMeta is seeking funding from the capital markets which may include debt and equity offerings.
49 |
Production Lead Time
We anticipate that the lead time for the development of our first patented solution that will be commercially operational will be 18 months. This reflects equipment ordering, installation, development, testing, operational readiness, and market readiness.
Marketing Strategy
CarbonMeta shall market its hydrogen and carbon products to industrial customers that are developing higher capacity electrochemical energy storage, and construction customers that are seeking higher strength concrete materials, and tire manufacturers that are developing lower-resistance and longer wear tires for automobiles and trucks.
CarbonMeta shall market its carbon nanotube products to industrial customers that are developing higher capacity electrochemical energy storage, and construction customers that are seeking higher strength concrete materials, and tire manufacturers that are developing lower-resistance and longer wear tires for automobiles and trucks. The Company will implement a direct sales and marketing strategy to reach potential customers and generate revenues.
Employees
As of the date of this Report, we had one (1) part-time employee that served as the Company’s sole officer and director. Our employee is not represented by a union. We consider relations with our employee to be positive and productive. We plan to expand our management team within the next 12 months to include certain officers for any acquisitions and any new subsidiaries or operational activities management deems necessary. We consider our relations with our employees and consultants to be in good standing. Please see DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS, AND CONTROL PERSONS for additional information.
Report to Shareholders
The public may read and copy these reports, statements, or other information we file at the SEC’s public reference room at 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549 on official business days during the hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. State that the public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330. The Commission maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the Commission at (http://www.sec.gov).
Not a Blank Check Company
The Company and Mr. Spencer, who is the sole member of the Board of Directors, have no intentions nor plans to use the Company as a vehicle for a private company to become a reporting company through a reverse merger. The Company commenced operations, has a major account customer, is pursuing joint venture projects in Europe and the United States, and is pursuing grant funding opportunities to commercialize decarbonization and hydrogen production technologies in Europe and the United States.
Therefore, the Company is not a blank check company because the Company has no plans or intentions to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company, companies, entity or person.
Going Concern
The Company had minimal revenues and has incurred losses of $64,807,335 from inception through the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and negative working capital of $25,631,383 at September 30, 2022. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders.
50 |
The Company intends to overcome the circumstances that impact its ability to remain a going concern through a combination of the commencement of revenues, with interim cash flow deficiencies being addressed through additional equity and debt financing. The Company anticipates raising additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements in the near future to support its business operations; however, the Company may not have commitments from third parties for a sufficient amount of additional capital. The Company cannot be certain that any such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and its failure to raise capital when needed could limit its ability to continue its operations. The Company’s ability to obtain additional funding will determine its ability to continue as a going concern. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial performance, results of operations and stock price and require it to curtail or cease operations, sell off its assets, seek protection from its creditors through bankruptcy proceedings, or otherwise. Furthermore, additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of the Company’s common stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, and strategic relationships, if necessary, to raise additional funds, and may require that the Company relinquish valuable rights. Please see NOTE C – GOING CONCERN within the Company’s financial statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 for further information.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:
● | an exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 on the design and effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting; | |
● | reduced disclosure about the company’s executive compensation arrangements; and | |
● | exemptions from the requirements to obtain a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation or a shareholder approval of any golden parachute arrangements. |
We may take advantage of these provisions until December 31, 2025 or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earlier to occur of: the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenues; the date we qualify as a “large accelerated filer,” with a non-affiliate public float in excess of $700 million; or the issuance by us of more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. We may choose to take advantage of some, but not all, of the available benefits under the JOBS Act. We have taken advantage of some reduced reporting burdens in this prospectus. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold stock.
In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of some accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of delayed adoption of new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will adopt new or revised generally accepted accounting principles in the United States on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
Smaller Reporting Company
We also qualify as a “smaller reporting company” under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, which is defined as a company with a public equity float of less than $75 million. To the extent that we remain a smaller reporting company at such time as we are no longer an emerging growth company, we will still have reduced disclosure requirements for our public filings some of which are similar to those of an emerging growth company, including having to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements.

Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law that our directors or officers shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for damages for breach of such director’s or officer’s fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our Articles of Incorporation is to eliminate our rights and our shareholders (through shareholders’ derivative suits on behalf of our company) to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Our By-Laws also provide that the Board of Directors may also authorize us to indemnify our employees or agents, and to advance the reasonable expenses of such persons, to the same extent, following the same determinations and upon the same conditions as are required for the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to our directors and officers. As of the date of this Registration Statement, the Board of Directors has not extended indemnification rights to persons other than directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, 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.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
(Unaudited)
NOTE A – ORGANIZATION (continued)
In 2021, the Company began investigating emerging technologies, strategic intellectual property partnerships, and sustainable growth business opportunities related to the production of hydrogen and high value carbon products from organic waste streams. Working cooperatively with Oxford University Innovation, CarbonMeta plans to implement proven and patented technologies to add value to organic waste streams. By utilizing these proven proprietary technologies, collected and captured plastic waste material can be upcycled to high value products such as carbon nanotubes (“CNTs”) and hydrogen gas.
CNTs can be used for improved electrical conduction and reinforcing materials that are used in a wide variety of industries including the automotive industry, aviation industry, medical industry, and construction. The number one growth driver is the increasing need for high performance batteries for the electric vehicle market.
Plastic waste is a cheap and abundant feedstock that will allow the Company to scale quickly and produce hydrogen gas for a competitive price.
License Agreements
Oxford University Innovation Limited
On
June 2, 2021, the Company (the “Licensee”) entered into a License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Oxford University
Innovation Limited (the “Licensor”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Licensee will license the licensed technology
(OUI Project- Hydrogen from plastics via microwave-initiated catalytic dehydrogenation). The Agreement is non-exclusive and includes
the United States and European Union. Signing fees for the Agreement were £
The process that the Company licensed from Licensor for producing hydrogen and carbon products from waste plastics has not been demonstrated on a larger scale. It is not yet known whether the process will be cost-effective or profitable to implement on a larger scale. The Company has conducted tests to prove the percentage of carbon nanotubes up to 10 grams. The Company is working with a microwave reactor company to help demonstrate this process at a scale of 100 kilograms and 1,000 kilograms per day.
The Company has met the following milestones of its development plan set forth in the license agreement with Oxford University Innovation:
● | September 2021: establish subsidiary in Oxford, United Kingdom | |
● | March 2022: produce 0.025 kilograms per day of marketable carbon nanotubes |
The Company is actively engaged in achieving the following milestones of its development plan set forth in the license agreement with University of Oxford Innovation:
● | September 2022: produce 0.5 kilograms per day of marketable carbon nanotubes | |
● | March 2023: 10 kilograms per day of marketable carbon nanotubes |
Oxford University Innovation may terminate the license due to the company not using commercially reasonable efforts to develop, exploit and market the licensed technology in accordance with the development plan.
From July through September 2022, CarbonMeta Technologies contracted with University of Oxford on a project with a global multi-energy provider based in Europe to assess the feasibility of processing mixed plastic waste into clean hydrogen fuel and value-added carbon products using microwave catalysis on a large commercial scale.
Ecomena Limited
On
December 2, 2021, the Company (“Licensee”) entered into a License of Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Ecomena
Limited (an entity located in the United Kingdom) (“Licensor”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Licensee will license
the Licensed Technology to recycle industrial byproduct into cement free pavers and mortars that are environmentally friendly and continuously
absorb carbon dioxide. The signing fees payable to the Licensor under the Agreement are £
Production Agreement
On January 11, 2022, the Company entered into an Interim Joint Product Development and Sales Representation Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Salvum Corporation. Under the terms of the Agreement, the parties agree to work together to develop both CarbonMeta’s proprietary cementless paver products known as “Cementless Paver” and Salvum’s proprietary concrete alternative products known as “Earthcrete.” During the Term, Salvum agrees to manufacture CarbonMeta’s proprietary cementless paver products known as “Cementless Paver”. CarbonMeta reserves the right to appoint other manufacturers of the products and/or to engage other sales representatives for CarbonMeta’s proprietary cementless paver products known as “Cementless Paver” outside the United States of America. Although the Interim Joint Product Development and Sales Representation Agreement with Salvum Corporation had a term of 180 days and expired on July 11, 2022, the companies continued to work together, and the companies signed a Joint Venture Agreement on August 28, 2022 that supersedes the Interim Joint Product Development and Sales Representation Agreement.
Service Award

(Unaudited)
NOTE A – ORGANIZATION (continued)
In order to further grow its business, the Company plans to:
● | Develop and patent new microwave catalysis processes that can yield high value hydrogen and carbon products; | |
● | Work closely with commercial building and solar farm general contractors that want to purchase “carbon negative” construction materials that can generate carbon credits; | |
● | Acquire or develop patents that will help the Company generate royalty revenues with potential customers and partners, and protect the Company’s competitive position against potential competitors; | |
● | Develop new proprietary and patented technologies to implement new industrial methods that can use inexpensive, environmentally friendly catalysts to process collected plastic waste material into high value products such as hydrogen gas, graphene and carbon nanotubes; | |
● | seek out government programs in the United Kingdom, European Union and United States that encourage the development of high value production of hydrogen and high value carbon products from organic waste streams; and | |
● | Attract investment funds who will actively work with the Company to achieve these goals and help the Company grow rapidly during the next 3 years. |
Some potential joint venture candidates have been identified and discussions initiated. These candidates are within the Company’s core business model, serving commercial properties, accretive to cash flow, and geographically favorable. One of these joint ventures, CarbonMeta Green Building Materials LLC will be focused on the development at marketing of construction mix products that are carbon-negative. Two other joint ventures under discussion are focused on processing waste plastics into hydrogen and high value carbon products. We plan to fund these joint ventures with customer purchase orders and invoice payments, federal loans, federal grants, and commercial loans.
We have unrestricted discretion in seeking and participating in a business opportunity, subject to the availability of such opportunities, economic conditions, and other factors.
The selection of a business opportunity in which to participate is complex and risky. Additionally, we have only limited resources and may find it difficult to locate good opportunities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify and acquire any business opportunity which will ultimately prove to be beneficial to us and our shareholders. We will select any potential business opportunity based on our management’s best business judgment.
Our activities are subject to several significant risks, which arise primarily as a result of the fact that we have no specific business and may acquire or participate in a business opportunity based on the decision of management, which potentially could act without the consent, vote, or approval of our shareholders. The risks faced by us are further increased as a result of our lack of resources and our inability to provide a prospective business opportunity with significant capital.

For the Ecomena license, amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the 5-year term of the license.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company evaluates the carrying value and recoverability of its long-lived assets when circumstances warrant such evaluation by applying the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-35, Property, Plant and Equipment, Subsequent Measurement (“ASC 360-35”). ASC 360-35 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. Additionally, taxes are calculated and expensed in accordance with applicable tax code.
Segment Reporting
FASB ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting, defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company reports according to one main segment.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows FASB ASC 820-10-35-37 (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB ASC for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
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. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for its notes and loans payable approximates fair value as the contractual interest rate and features are consistent with similar instruments of similar risk in the marketplace.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

Convertible Instruments
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with professional standards for FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”).
Professional standards generally provide three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument.”
The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards under “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features,” as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the preferred stock transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the preferred stock. ASC 815 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’s control, could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company follows FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50, Equity–based Payments to Non-Employees. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
Through newly issued restricted common stock, the Company pays qualified contractors and advisors common shares in lieu of compensation for services provided including business development, management, technology development, consulting, legal services and accounting services.

The Company will recognize revenue for its sales of energy products pursuant to the License Agreements with Oxford University Innovation Limited and Ecomena Limited (see Note A) when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. Product sales will be recognized by us generally at the time product is shipped. Shipping and handling costs will be included in cost of goods sold.

and are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were
$
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per common share amounts in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the effect of common stock equivalents has been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
The Company currently has convertible debt and preferred stock, which, if converted, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, would have caused the Company to issue diluted shares totaling and , respectively.
Dividend Policy
The
Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock. The Company anticipates that any earnings will be retained
for development and expansion of its business and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Additionally,
as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has issued, and has outstanding, shares of Series B Preferred Stock
which are entitled, prior to the declaration of any dividends on common stock, to earn a 5% dividend, payable in either cash or common
stock of the Company. The Board of Directors has sole discretion to declare dividends based on the Company’s financial condition,
results of operations, capital requirements, contractual obligations and other relevant factors. At September 30, 2022 and December
31, 2021, there were cumulative undeclared dividends to Preferred Series B shareholders of $
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Certain accounting pronouncements have been issued by the FASB and other standard setting organizations which are not yet effective and therefore have not yet been adopted by the Company. The impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations from adoption of these standards is not expected to be material.

NOTE C – GOING CONCERN
The
Company incurred a net loss in the amount of ($
There are no assurances that the Company will be able to either (1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through either private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support the Company’s working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations, any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE L – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
Effective July 31, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 815, which defines determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is solely indexed to an entity’s own stock. The conversion price of certain convertible notes and convertible preferred stock are variable and subject to the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of conversion. As a result, the Company has determined that the conversion features are not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and is therefore not afforded equity treatment. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company has bifurcated the conversion of the instruments to be recorded as a derivative liability.
ASC 815 requires Company management to assess the fair market value of certain derivatives at each reporting period and recognize any change in the fair market value as items of other income or expense. The Company’s only asset or liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis is its derivative liability associated with convertible notes payable and preferred stock.
At origination and subsequent revaluations, the Company valued the derivative liabilities using the Black-Scholes options pricing model under the following assumptions as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

There were no issuances, conversions or redemptions of Series B Preferred Stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and during the year ended December 31, 2021. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had and shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, respectively.
Based upon the Company’s evaluation of the terms and conditions of the Series B Preferred Stock, the embedded conversion feature related to the Series B Preferred Stock was afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument due to certain variabilities in the conversion price and met the conditions for equity classification. However, the Company is required to bifurcate the embedded conversion feature and carry it as a derivative liability.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of CarbonMeta Technologies, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CarbonMeta Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, 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 CarbonMeta Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
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 audit. 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 audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 audit 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 audit 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 audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter Regarding Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note C to the financial statements, the Company’s present financial situation raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note C. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Derivative liability – Refer to Note L to the consolidated financial statements
As described in Note L to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 included a derivative liability relating to certain convertible debt and convertible preferred stock of $11,904,070. The determination of the fair value of the derivative liability was calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and required management to make significant estimates and assumptions and involved a high degree of subjectivity.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of the derivative liability is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgement by management when developing the valuations and (ii) a high degree of auditor judgement, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures relating to the valuations.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included, among other things, evaluating the appropriateness of the assumptions used and the estimation methodology applied in the valuations.

NOTE A – ORGANIZATION (continued)
Some potential merger/acquisition candidate have been identified and discussions initiated. These candidates are within the Company’s core business model, serving commercial properties, accretive to cash flow, and geographically favorable. While seeking to identify acquisition candidates, the Company seeks to identify target entities with a similar core business model or a model which naturally integrates with its own, and which are situated in opportunistic geographic locations.
We have unrestricted discretion in seeking and participating in a business opportunity, subject to the availability of such opportunities, economic conditions, and other factors.
The selection of a business opportunity in which to participate is complex and risky. Additionally, we have only limited resources and may find it difficult to locate good opportunities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify and acquire any business opportunity which will ultimately prove to be beneficial to us and our shareholders. We will select any potential business opportunity based on our management’s best business judgment.
Our activities are subject to several significant risks, which arise primarily as a result of the fact that we have no specific business and may acquire or participate in a business opportunity based on the decision of management, which potentially could act without the consent, vote, or approval of our shareholders. The risks faced by us are further increased as a result of its lack of resources and our inability to provide a prospective business opportunity with significant capital.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CarbonMeta Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CoroWare Technologies, Inc., CoroWare Robotics Solutions, Inc., Robotic Workspace Technologies, Inc., Carbon Source, Inc., CoroWare Treasury, Inc., and CarbonMeta Research Ltd., as well as its 51% interest in ARiCon, LLC (collectively, the “Company”). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company uses all available information and appropriate techniques to develop its estimates. However, actual results could differ from its estimates.

NOTE B – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized while expenditures for minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the accounts are relieved of cost and accumulated depreciation and the related gain or loss, if any, is reflected in the consolidated statement of operations.
At least annually, the Company evaluates, and adjusts when necessary, the estimated useful lives. The changes in estimated useful lives did not have a material impact on depreciation in any period. The estimated useful lives are:
Computer equipment and software | ||
Filament production equipment |
License
The license acquired from Oxford University Innovation Limited (see Note A) is stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the 10-year estimated life of the license.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company evaluates the carrying value and recoverability of its long-lived assets when circumstances warrant such evaluation by applying the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-35, Property, Plant and Equipment, Subsequent Measurement (“ASC 360-35”). ASC 360-35 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. Additionally, taxes are calculated and expensed in accordance with applicable tax code.

Segment Reporting
FASB
ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting, defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial information
is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
The Company reports according to
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows FASB ASC 820-10-35-37 (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB ASC for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments.
Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
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. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for cash and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for its notes and loans payable approximates fair value as the contractual interest rate and features are consistent with similar instruments of similar risk in the marketplace.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
It is not, however, practical to determine the fair value of advances from stockholders, if any, due to their related party nature.

Convertible Instruments
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with professional standards for FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”).
Professional standards generally provide three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument.”
The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards under “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features,” as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the preferred stock transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the preferred stock. ASC 815 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’s control could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company follows FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50, Equity–based Payments to Non-Employees. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020
NOTE B – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per common share amounts in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.
For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the effect of common stock equivalents has been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
The Company currently has convertible debt and preferred stock, which, if converted, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, would have caused the Company to issue diluted shares totaling and shares, respectively.
Dividend Policy
The
Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock. The Company anticipates that any earnings will be retained

NOTE C – GOING CONCERN
The
Company realized net income in the amount of $
There are no assurances that the Company will be able to either (1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through either private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support the Company’s working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations, any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The conversion price of certain convertible notes and convertible preferred stock are variable and subject to the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of conversion. As a result, the Company has determined that the conversion features are not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and is therefore not afforded equity treatment. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company has bifurcated the conversion features of the instruments to be recorded as a derivative liability.

NOTE P – INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets at currently enacted tax rates for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. A valuation allowance is recognized to reduce the net deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
ASC 740 provides guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements. ASC 740 requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the consolidated financial statements.
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of December 31, 2021 and 2020:

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company has analyzed its filing positions in all jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns for the open tax years in such jurisdictions. The Company has identified its federal and state income tax returns for the previous ten years remain subject to examination. The Company currently believes that all significant filing positions are highly certain and that all of its significant income tax filing positions and deductions would be sustained upon audit. Therefore, the Company has no significant reserves for uncertain tax positions, and no adjustments to such reserves were required by generally accepted accounting principles. No interest or penalties have been levied against the Company and none are anticipated; therefore no interest or penalty has been included in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations.

Exhibits required by Item 601 of Regulation S-K
The following exhibits are filed with this registration statement:

* Filed herewith

Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned Company hereby undertakes to:
(1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
(i) | To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; | |
(ii) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement, and | |
(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. |
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
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:
(i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; | |
(ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; | |
(iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and | |
(iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |

SIGNATURES
