Hydrogen Refueling

 

The market for hydrogen refueling stations is currently in a state of growth, as the use of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) is becoming more popular. Governments, private companies, and research institutions around the world are investing in the development of hydrogen refueling infrastructure to support the growth of the FCEV market.

 

Currently, most hydrogen refueling stations are located in California, Germany, Japan, and South Korea. These countries have actively invested in developing hydrogen infrastructure and, as a result, have a larger number of stations available.

 

According to a report by MarketsandMarkets, the global hydrogen refueling station market size was valued at USD 1.7 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 7.5 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 34.5% during the forecast period.

 

However, the market for hydrogen refueling stations is still relatively small compared to other alternative fuels, such as electric charging stations. The high cost of building and maintaining hydrogen stations, lack of economies of scale, and lack of hydrogen production facilities, have hindered the market's growth.

 

Despite these challenges, the market for hydrogen refueling stations is expected to grow in the future as the number of FCEVs on the road increases and more countries begin to invest in the development of hydrogen infrastructure.

 

Fuel Cell EV Growth

 

The expected growth of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) is projected to be significant in the coming years. According to a report by MarketsandMarkets, the global fuel cell electric vehicle market size is projected to reach 1.63 million units by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 42.2% during the forecast period of 2025 to 2030.

 

This growth is driven by several factors, including increasing government support and funding for the development of hydrogen infrastructure, advancements in fuel cell technology, and increasing consumer awareness and acceptance of FCEVs.

 

 6 
 

In addition, many countries have set ambitious targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and deploying FCEVs is seen as a key measure to achieving these goals.

 

However, it's worth noting that the expected growth of FCEVs is highly dependent on the success of the hydrogen economy and the availability of hydrogen fueling stations. The growth of FCEVs also depends on the cost of hydrogen and the competition with other technologies such as battery electric vehicles.

 

Overall, the growth of FCEVs is expected to be significant in the coming years, but the growth rate may vary depending on the region and the success of the hydrogen economy.

 

Current Problems

 

There are several common problems associated with current hydrogen refueling stations:

 

1.Cost: Building and maintaining hydrogen refueling stations can be expensive, and the high cost can be a barrier to the widespread deployment of the technology.
2.Limited availability: Hydrogen fueling stations are currently much less common than gasoline or electric charging stations, which can make it difficult for FCEV owners to find a refueling location.
3.Complexity: Hydrogen fueling stations are complex systems that require specialized knowledge and training to operate and maintain.
4.Safety concerns: Hydrogen is a highly flammable gas, and there are concerns about the safety of storing and dispensing it at refueling stations.
5.Hydrogen production: One of the major challenges with hydrogen refueling stations is their limited access to locally produced hydrogen, often relying on hydrogen created using processes that generate pollution, such as steam methane reforming, which undermines the environmental benefits of using hydrogen as a fuel source.
6.Lack of standardization: There is currently no standardization in the design and operation of hydrogen fueling stations, which can make it difficult for different types of vehicles to refuel at different stations.
7.Limited production capacity: The current capacity of hydrogen production is limited, which can make it difficult to supply enough hydrogen to meet the increasing demand for FCEVs.
8.Lack of economies of scale: The small number of hydrogen stations and vehicles currently in operation makes it difficult to achieve economies of scale and reduce costs.

  

Overall, current hydrogen refueling stations face several challenges, but with ongoing research and development, these issues can be addressed and overcome in the future.

 

HNOI’s Unique Solution

 

Compact and modular

 

The HNOI Compact Hydrogen Refueling System (CHRS) delivers modular, compact green hydrogen refueling stations and could have significant value in the growing hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) market. These types of stations are designed to be compact, easy to install, and highly efficient, which can help to reduce the cost of building and maintaining the typical hydrogen refueling stations.

 

One of the main advantages of CHRS is that they can be quickly and easily deployed in various locations, such as urban areas, parking garages, residential locations, along highway corridors, even at a consumer's home. They can be quickly located with a smartphone app, and once located, the hydrogen availability can be determined and the hours of operation of the station. Because of the way the current infrastructure is set up, including the lack of hydrogen production on-site, it is often impossible for a customer to know if they will even be able to get fuel or not until they actually arrive at one of the extremely limited refueling locations. The CHRS system will increase the availability of hydrogen fueling options for FCEV owners, making it easier for them to refuel their vehicles and for manufacturers to sell their hydrogen vehicles because of the availability of hundreds of fueling stations.

 

Additionally, these types of stations can be powered by renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, which can reduce their environmental impact and help to promote the use of green hydrogen.

 

Another advantage of these stations is that they can be easily expanded as the demand for hydrogen fuel increases. This can help to ensure that there is always enough hydrogen available to meet the needs of FCEV owners.

 7 
 

Overall, a product that delivers modular, compact green hydrogen refueling stations can be a disruptive factor and help to spur the growth of the FCEV market, by making it more convenient, affordable, and environmentally friendly for FCEV owners to refuel their vehicles, and it can help to support the growth of the hydrogen economy.

General Risks

 

The Company is a Smaller Reporting Company

 

 11 
 

HNOI (as this is the name of the ticker symbol) is a “smaller reporting company.” Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk.

 

  We may be unable to invest the proceeds of this offering on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

  We are dependent on our key personnel for our success. The departure of any of our executive officers or key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

  Our growth depends on external sources of capital, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all.

 

  Investors participating in this offering will incur immediate dilution.

 

It is possible investors may lose their entire investment.

 

We will be reliant on the proceeds of this offering to expand our operations. We may not be successful in implementing our business strategy or that we will be successful in achieving our objectives. Our prospects for success must be considered in the context of a thinly capitalized company in a highly competitive market. As a result, investors may lose their entire investment.

 

Market Risks

 

We may be unable to successfully execute and operate our green hydrogen production projects and such projects may cost more and take longer to complete than we expect.

 

As part of our vertical integration strategy, the Company is developing and constructing green hydrogen production facilities at locations across the United States and Canada. Our ability to successfully complete and operate these projects is not guaranteed.  These projects will impact our ability to meet and supplement the hydrogen demands for our products and services, for both existing and prospective customers. Our hydrogen production projects are dependent, in part, upon the Company’s ability to meet our internal demand for electrolyzers required for such projects. Electrolyzer demand by external customers may concurrently affect the Company’s ability to meet the internal electrolyzer demand from our hydrogen production projects. The timing and cost to complete the construction of our hydrogen production projects are subject to a number of factors outside of our control and such projects may take longer and cost more to complete and become operational than we expect.

 

Furthermore, the viability and competitiveness of our green hydrogen production facilities will depend, in part, upon favorable laws, regulations, and policies related to hydrogen production. Some of these laws, regulations, policies are nascent, and there is no guarantee that they will be favorable to our projects. Additionally, our facilities will be subject to numerous and new permitting, regulations, laws, and policies, many of which might vary by jurisdiction. Hydrogen production facilities are also subject to robust competition from well-established multi-national companies in the energy industry. There is no guarantee that our hydrogen production strategy will be successful, amidst this competitive environment.

 

We will continue to be dependent on certain third-party key suppliers for components in our products. The failure of a supplier to develop and supply components in a timely manner or at all, or our inability to obtain substitute sources of these components on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to us, could impair our ability to manufacture our products or could increase our cost of production.

 

We rely on certain key suppliers for critical components in our products, and there are numerous other components for our products that are sole sourced. If we fail to maintain our relationships with our suppliers or build relationships with new suppliers, or if suppliers are unable to meet our demand, we may be unable to manufacture our products, or our products may be available only at a higher cost or after a delay.  In addition, to the extent that our supply partners use technology or manufacturing processes that are proprietary, we may be unable to obtain comparable components from alternative sources. Furthermore, we may become increasingly subject to domestic content sourcing requirements and Buy America preferences, as required under certain United States federal infrastructure funding sources.  Domestic content preferences and Buy America requirements potential mandate that our Company source certain components and materials from within the United States.  Conformity with these provisions potentially depends upon our ability to increasingly source components or certain materials from within the United States.  An inability to meet these requirements could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to successfully compete for certain projects or awards utilizing federal funds subject to such mandates.

 

 12 
 

The failure of a supplier to develop and supply components in a timely manner or at all, or to develop or supply components that meet our quality, quantity and cost requirements, or our inability to obtain substitute sources of these components on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to us, could impair our ability to manufacture our products or could increase our cost of production. If we cannot obtain substitute materials or components on a timely basis or on acceptable terms, we could be prevented from delivering our products to our customers within required timeframes.  Any such delays could result in sales and installation delays, cancellations, penalty payments or loss of revenue and market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

Our products and services face intense competition.

 

The markets for energy products, including PEM fuel cells, electrolyzers, and hydrogen production are intensely competitive. Some of our competitors are much larger than we are and may have the manufacturing, marketing and sales capabilities to complete research, development, and commercialization of profitable, commercially viable products more quickly and effectively than we can. There are many companies engaged in all areas of traditional and alternative energy generation in the United States and abroad, including, among others, major electric, oil, chemical, natural gas, battery, generator and specialized electronics firms, as well as universities, research institutions and foreign government-sponsored companies. These firms are engaged in forms of power generation such as advanced battery technologies, generator sets, fast charged technologies and other types of fuel cell technologies. Well established companies might similarly seek to expand into new types of energy products, including PEM fuel cells, electrolyzers, or hydrogen production.  Additionally, some competitors may rely on other different competing technologies for fuel cells, electrolyzers, or hydrogen production.  We believe our technologies have many advantages. In the near future, we expect the demand for these products – electrolyzers in particular – to largely offset any hypothetical market preference for competing technologies. However, changes in customer preferences, the marketplace, or government policies could favor competing technologies.  The primary current value proposition for our fuel cell customers stems from productivity gains in using our solutions. Longer term, given evolving market dynamics and changes in alternative energy tax credits, if we are unable to successfully develop future products that are competitive with competing technologies in terms of price, reliability and longevity, customers may not buy our products. Technological advances in alternative energy products, battery systems or other fuel cell, electrolyzer, or hydrogen technologies may make our products less attractive or render them obsolete.

 

Risks Related to Financing Our Business

 

Expenses required to operate as a public company will reduce funds available to develop our business and could negatively affect our stock price and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.

 

Operating as a public company is more expensive than operating as a private company, including additional funds required to obtain outside assistance from legal, accounting, investor relations, or other professionals that could be more costly than planned. We may also be required to hire additional staff to comply with SEC reporting requirements. We anticipate that these costs will be approximately $100,000 annually. Our failure to comply with reporting requirements and other provisions of securities laws could negatively affect our results of operations, cash flow and financial condition

 

Our growth depends on external sources of capital, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all. In addition, investors, banks and other financial institutions may be reluctant to enter into any lending or financial transactions with us, because we intend to enter into a mining excavation operation that could have environmental impacts if not managed properly. If any of the source of funding is unavailable to us, our growth may be limited, and our operating profit may be impaired.

 

We may not be in a position to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities for growth if we are unable, due to global or regional economic uncertainty, changes in the provincial or federal regulatory environment relating to the extraction, processing and distribution of our products or otherwise, to access capital markets on a timely basis and on favorable terms or at all. Because we intend to grow our business, this limitation may require us to raise additional equity or incur debt at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so.

 

 13 
 

Our access to capital will depend upon several factors over which we have little or no control, including general market conditions and the market’s perception of our current and potential future earnings. If general economic instability or downturn leads to an inability to obtain capital to finance, the operation could be negatively impacted. In addition, investors, banks and other financial institutions may be reluctant to enter into financing transactions with us, because we intend to operate a mining excavation operation. If this source of funding is unavailable to us, our growth may be limited.

 

Our ability to raise funding is subject to all the above factors and will also be affected by our future financial position, results of operations and cash flows. All these events would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations.

 

Any future indebtedness reduces cash available for distribution and may expose us to the risk of default under debt obligations that we may incur in the future.

 

Payments of principal and interest on borrowings that we may incur in the future may leave us with insufficient cash resources to operate the business. Our level of debt and the limitations imposed on us by debt agreements could have significant material and adverse consequences, including the following:

 

our cash flow may be insufficient to meet our required principal and interest payments;

 

we may be unable to borrow additional funds as needed or on favorable terms;

 

we may be unable to refinance our indebtedness at maturity or the refinancing terms may be less favorable than the terms of our original indebtedness;

 

to the extent we borrow debt that bears interest at variable rates, increases in interest rates could materially increase our interest expense;

 

we may default on our obligations or violate restrictive covenants; in which case the lenders may accelerate these debt obligations; and

 

default under any loan with cross default provisions could result in a default on other indebtedness.

 

If any one of these events were to occur, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders could be materially and adversely affected.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

HNOI has a limited operating history.

 

HNOI has limited operating history. We will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least for the foreseeable future. We can make no assurances that we will be able to effectuate our strategies or otherwise to generate sufficient revenue to continue operations.

 

During the year ended October 31, 2022, the Company’s total revenue was $34,450, and had a net loss of $1,071,309.

 

Our estimates of capital, personnel, equipment, and facilities required for our proposed operations are based on certain other existing businesses operating under projected business conditions and plans. We believe that our estimates are reasonable, but it is not possible to determine the accuracy of such estimates at this point. In formulating our business plan, we have relied on the judgment of our officers and directors and their experience in developing businesses. We can make no assurances that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing or implement successfully the business plan we have devised. Further, even with sufficient financing, there can be no assurance that we will be able to operate our business on a profitable basis. We can make no assurances that our projected business plan will be realized or that any of our assumptions will prove to be correct.

 

We are subject to a variety of possible risks that could adversely impact our revenues, results of operations or financial condition. Some of these risks relate to general economic and financial conditions, while others are more specific to us and the carbon emissions industry in which we operate. The following factors set out potential risks we have identified that could adversely affect us. The risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of, or that we currently think are immaterial, could also have a negative impact on our business operations or financial condition. See also Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Disclosure.

 

 14 
 

We operate in a highly competitive industry.

 

The climate and carbon treatment business is highly competitive and constantly changing. Our competitors include not only other large multinational companies, but also smaller entities that operate in local or regional markets as well as new forms of market participants.

 

Competitive challenges also arise from rapidly-evolving and new technologies in the carbon capture space, creating opportunities for new and existing competitors and a need for continued significant investment in research and development.

 

A number of our existing or potential competitors may have substantially greater financial, technical, and marketing resources, larger investor bases, greater name recognition, and more established relationships with their investors, and more established sources of deal flow and investment opportunities than we do. This may enable our competitors to: develop and expand their services and develop infrastructure more quickly and achieve greater scale and cost efficiencies; adapt more quickly to new or emerging markets and opportunities, strategies, techniques, technologies, and changing investor needs; take advantage of acquisitions and other market opportunities more readily; establish operations in new markets more rapidly; devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products and services; adopt more aggressive pricing policies; and provide clients with additional benefits at lower overall costs in order to gain market share. If our competitive advantages are not compelling or sustainable and we are not able to effectively compete with larger competitors, then we may not be able to increase or sustain cash flow.

 

 We will need to raise funding, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed may force us to delay, limit or terminate our product development efforts or other operations.

 

We will need to seek funds soon, through public or private equity or debt financings, government or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances or a combination of these approaches. Raising funds in the current economic environment may present additional challenges. It is not certain that we have accounted for all costs and expenses of future development and regulatory compliance. Even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans, we may seek additional capital if market conditions are favorable or if we have specific strategic considerations.

 

Our future growth may be limited.

 

The Company’s ability to achieve its expansion objectives and to manage its growth effectively depends upon a variety of factors, including the Company’s ability to further develop use of methodology, solutions and systems, to attract and retain skilled employees, to successfully position and market the Company, to protect its existing intellectual property, to capitalize on the potential opportunities it is pursuing with third parties, and sufficient funding. To accommodate growth and compete effectively, the Company will need working capital to maintain adequate operating levels, develop additional procedures and controls and increase, train, motivate and manage its work force. There is no assurance that the Company’s personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support its potential future operations.

  

We rely on key personnel.

 

The Company’s success also will depend in large part on the continued service of its key operational and management personnel, including executive staff, research and development, engineering, marketing and sales staff The Company faces intense competition from its competitors, customers and other companies throughout the industry. Any failure on the Company’s part to hire, train and retain a sufficient number of qualified professionals could impair the business of the Company.

  

We may need to defend ourselves against intellectual property infringement claims, which may be time-consuming and cause us to incur substantial costs.

 

 15 
 

Companies, organizations or individuals, including our competitors, may own or obtain intellectual property or other proprietary rights that would prevent or limit our ability to make, use, develop or sell our concept, which could make it more difficult for us to operate our business. We may receive inquiries from intellectual property owners inquiring whether we infringe their proprietary rights.

 

Our business may be adversely affected if we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights from unauthorized use by third parties.

 

Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property rights could result in our competitors offering similar products, potentially resulting in the loss of some of our competitive advantage, and a decrease in our revenue which would adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. Our success depends, at least in part, on our ability to protect our core methodology and intellectual property. To accomplish this, we will rely on a combination of intellectual property, trade secrets (including know-how), employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements, copyright, trademarks, intellectual property licenses and other contractual rights to establish and protect our rights in our technology. Patent, trademark, and trade secret laws vary significantly throughout the world.  

 

Confidentiality agreements with employees and others may not adequately prevent disclosure of trade secrets and other proprietary information.

 

In order to protect our proprietary technology and processes, we also rely in part on confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, outsource manufacturers and other advisors. These agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of confidential information and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. In addition, others may independently discover trade secrets and proprietary information. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive business position.

 

We may not be successful in our potential business combinations.

 

The Company may, in the future, pursue acquisitions of other complementary businesses and technology licensing arrangements. The Company may also pursue strategic alliances and joint ventures that leverage its core products and industry experience to expand its product offerings and geographic presence. The Company has limited experience with respect to acquiring other companies and limited experience with respect to forming collaborations, strategic alliances and joint ventures.

 

If the Company were to make any acquisitions, it may not be able to integrate these acquisitions successfully into its existing business and could assume unknown or contingent liabilities. Any future acquisitions the Company makes, could also result in large and immediate write-offs or the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities, any of which could harm the Company’s operating results. Integrating an acquired company also may require management resources that otherwise would be available for ongoing development of the Company’s existing business.

  

Any future indebtedness reduces cash available for distribution and may expose us to the risk of default under debt obligations that we may incur in the future.

 

Payments of principal and interest on borrowings that we may incur in the future may leave us with insufficient cash resources to operate the business. Our level of debt and the limitations imposed on us by debt agreements could have significant material and adverse consequences, including the following:

 

·Our cash flow may be insufficient to meet our required principal and interest payments;
·We may be unable to borrow additional funds as needed or on favorable terms, or at all;
·We may be unable to refinance our indebtedness at maturity or the refinancing terms may be less favorable than the terms of our original indebtedness;
·To the extent we borrow debt that bears interest at variable rates, increases in interest rates could materially increase our interest expense;
·We may default on our obligations or violate restrictive covenants, in which case the lenders may accelerate these debt obligations; and
·Our default under any loan with cross default provisions could result in a default on other indebtedness.

 

 16 
 

If any one of these events were to occur, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders could be materially and adversely affected.

 

Our results of operations are highly susceptible to unfavorable economic conditions.

 

We are exposed to risks associated with weak or uncertain regional or global economic conditions and disruption in the financial markets. The global economy continues to be challenging in some markets. Uncertainty about the strength of the global economy generally, or economic conditions in certain regions or market sectors, and a degree of caution on the part of some marketers, can have an effect on the demand for advertising and marketing communication services. In addition, market conditions can be adversely affected by natural and human disruptions, such as natural disasters, severe weather events, military conflict or public health crises. Our industry can be affected more severely than other sectors by an economic downturn and can recover more slowly than the economy in general. In the past, some clients have responded to weak economic and financial conditions by reducing their marketing budgets, which include discretionary components that are easier to reduce in the short term than other operating expenses. This pattern may recur in the future. Furthermore, unexpected revenue shortfalls can result in misalignments of costs and revenues, resulting in a negative impact to our operating margins. If our business is significantly adversely affected by unfavorable economic conditions or other market disruptions that adversely affect client spending, the negative impact on our revenue could pose a challenge to our operating income and cash generation from operations.

 

We may not be able to meet our performance targets and milestones.

 

From time to time, we communicate to the public certain targets and milestones for our financial and operating performance that are intended to provide metrics against which to evaluate our performance. They should not be understood as predictions or guidance about our expected performance. Our ability to meet any target or milestone is subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, and we caution investors against placing undue reliance on them. See Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Disclosure.

 

We have limited personal liability.

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws generally provide that the liability of our officers and directors will be eliminated to the fullest extent allowed under law for their acts on behalf of our Company.

 

Risks Related to Regulation

 

Applicable state and international laws may prevent us from maximizing our potential income.

 

Depending on the laws of each particular State, we may not be able to fully realize our potential to generate profit. Furthermore, cities and counties are being given broad discretion to use other carbon capture methodologies. Depending on the laws of international countries and the States, we might not be able to fully realize our potential to generate profit.

 

Risks Related to Our Stockholders and Purchasing Shares of Common Stock

 

Your percentage of ownership may become diluted if we issue new Common Stock or other securities, including shares that are eligible for exchange.

 

Our board of directors is authorized, without your approval, to cause us to issue additional Common Stock to raise capital through the issuance of Common Stock (including equity or debt securities convertible into Common Stock), and other rights, on terms and for consideration as our board of directors in its sole discretion may determine. Any such issuance could result in dilution of the equity of our shareholders.

 

We may be exposed to potential risks relating to our internal control over financial reporting.

 

As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX 404”), the SEC has adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in its annual reports. While we expect to expend significant resources in developing the necessary documentation and testing procedures required by SOX 404, there is a risk that we will not comply with all of the requirements imposed thereby. At present, there is no precedent available with which to measure compliance adequately. In the event we identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that we cannot remediate in a timely manner, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements and our ability to obtain equity or debt financing could suffer.

 

 17 
 

We have many authorized but unissued shares of our common stock.

 

We have a large number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock, which our management may issue without further stockholder approval, thereby causing dilution of your holdings of our common stock. Our management will continue to have broad discretion to issue shares of our common stock in a range of transactions, including capital-raising transactions, mergers, acquisitions, and other transactions, without obtaining stockholder approval, unless stockholder approval is required. If our management determines to issue shares of our common stock from the large pool of authorized but unissued shares for any purpose in the future, your ownership position would be diluted without your further ability to vote on that transaction.

  

The market valuation of our business may fluctuate due to factors beyond our control and the value of your investment may fluctuate correspondingly.

 

The market valuation of emerging growth companies, such as us, frequently fluctuate due to factors unrelated to the past or present operating performance of such companies. Our market valuation may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

 

  1. Changes in securities analysts’ estimates of our financial performance, although there are currently no analysts covering our stock;
  2. Fluctuations in stock market prices and volumes, particularly among securities of emerging growth companies;
  3. Changes in market valuations of similar companies;
  4. Announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, new technologies, acquisitions, commercial relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
  5. Variations in our quarterly operating results;
  6. Fluctuations in related labor cost; and
  7. Additions or departures of key personnel.

As a result, the value of your investment in us may fluctuate.

 

We have never paid dividends on our common stock.

 

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not presently intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Investors should not look to dividends as a source of income.

 

In the interest of reinvesting initial profits back into our business, we do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, any economic return will initially be derived, if at all, from appreciation in the fair market value of our stock, and not as a result of dividend payments.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the Selling Shareholders. We will use our best efforts to raise a maximum of $75,000,000 for the Company in this offering, minus the offering expenses. The minimum offering threshold is $1,000.00. The table below summarizes how we will utilize the proceeds of this offering, including in the event that the Company raises less than the full amount expected ($75,000,000). The actual amount of proceeds realized may differ from the amounts summarized below (1). We anticipate incurring up to $75,000 in offering expenses, including platform and fees (Broker and its affiliates may receive certain fees up to a maximum of 8.5% of the offering proceeds assuming a fully subscribed offering), SEC reporting and compliance, and to maintain our general and administrative functions over the next twelve months. If we don’t raise sufficient proceeds in this offering or generate sufficient revenue, our working capital goal may not be met. Furthermore, without sufficient proceeds from this offering or the generation of sufficient revenue, some of our other expenses, including advertising and marketing, website design, and operating and equipment may not be incurred or undertaken.

  

The Use of Proceeds is an estimate based on the Company's current business plan. We may find it necessary or advisable to reallocate portions of the net proceeds reserved for one category to another, or to add additional categories, and we will have broad discretion in doing so.

 

The maximum gross proceeds from the sale of the Shares in this Offering are $75,000,000.

 

Management of the Company has wide latitude and discretion in the use of proceeds from this Offering. At present, management's best estimate of the use of proceeds, at various funding milestones, is set out in the chart below. However, potential investors should note that this chart contains only the best estimates of the Company's management based upon information available to them at the present time, and that the actual use of proceeds is likely to vary from this chart based upon circumstances as they exist in the future, various needs of the Company at different times in the future, and the discretion of the Company's management at all times.

 

We intend to use the net proceeds in the event 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the Shares being offered in this Offering are sold as indicated below (without including the approximately $75,000 in offering expenses:

DILUTION

 

If you purchase shares in this Offering, your ownership interest in our Common Stock will be diluted immediately, to the extent of the difference between the price to the public charged for each share in this Offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock after this Offering.

 

Our historical net tangible book value as of October 31, 2022 was $(0.011) per then-outstanding share of our Common Stock. Historical net tangible book value per share equals the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding, all as of the date specified.

 

The following table illustrates the per share dilution to new investors discussed above, assuming the sale of, respectively, 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the shares offered for sale in this Offering (after deducting estimated offering expenses of $75,000):

(2) After deducting estimated offering expenses of $75,000. The Company believes that the amount of sales effort and the expense involved will vary according to the amount we can raise because the Company is dependent on its Officers and Directors to raise funds. The Officers and Directors intend to rely heavily on advertising, social media, email campaigns, and other such avenues of communication. Spending more on these items should increase the results of these communications.

Going Concern

 

Our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this offering circular have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to raise additional capital as required. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, the Company incurred net losses of $40,168,610. Initially, we intend to finance our operations through equity financings.

 

Our auditors have indicated that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

 

There are no external sources of liquidity available to the Company at this time. The Company will need to raise additional capital through equity financings or other means in order to continue operations and meet its obligations. Failure to obtain additional funding could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

 25 
 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements with any party.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventories, valuation of intangible assets and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 27 
 

Director Independence

 

We use the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

 

  the director is, or at any time during the past three (3) years was, an employee of the company;

 

  the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of twelve (12) consecutive months within the three (3) years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exemptions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);

 

  the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling shareholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exemptions;

 

  the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three (3) years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or

 

  the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the Company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three (3) years was a partner or employee of the Company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.

 

Under such definitions, we have no independent directors. However, our Common Stock is not currently quoted or listed on any national exchange or interdealer quotation system with a requirement that a majority of our Board be independent and, therefore, the Company is not subject to any director independence requirements.

 

Family Relationships

 

There are no additional family members serving as Officers and Directors of the Company.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

During the past five years none of our directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons was:

 

  1) the subject of any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

 

  2) convicted in a criminal proceeding or is subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

 

  3) subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or

 

  4) found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law.

 

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

 

Our Board plans to adopt a written code of business conduct and ethics (“Code”) that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. We intend to post on our website a current copy of the Code and all disclosures that are required by law in regard to any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the Code.

 

 28 
 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this offering circular have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer and effected by our Board of Directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The framework our management uses to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Based on our evaluation under the framework described above, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of October 31, 2022 due to the same material weaknesses that rendered our disclosure controls and procedures ineffective. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is not effective due to a lack of sufficient resources to hire a support staff in order to separate duties between different individuals. The Company lacks the appropriate personnel to handle all the varying recording and reporting tasks on a timely basis. The Company plans to address these material weaknesses as resources become available by hiring additional professional staff, such as a Chief Financial Officer, as funding becomes available, outsourcing certain aspects of the recording and reporting functions, and separating responsibilities. We have identified the following material weaknesses.

 

  1. As of October 31, 2022, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment. Specifically, we have not developed and effectively communicated to our employees the accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.

 

  2. As of October 31, 2022, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

 

Because of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2022, based on the criteria established in “INTERNAL CONTROL-INTEGRATED FRAMEWORK” issued by the COSO.

Penny Stock Regulation

 

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than Five Dollars ($5.00) per share or an exercise price of less than Five Dollars ($5.00) per share. Such securities are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell them. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. As our Common Stock immediately following this Offering may be subject to such penny stock rules, purchasers in this Offering will in all likelihood find it more difficult to sell their Common Stock shares in the secondary market.

 

Dividend Policy

 

We will not distribute cash to our Common Stock shareholders until Company generates net income. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business and for general corporate purposes. We cannot assure you that we will distribute any cash in the future. Our cash distribution policy is within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon various factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and investment opportunities.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are offering a maximum of 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock the public at a price of $1.00 per share on a “best efforts” basis. The shares are being offered in the United States pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act, in certain provinces of Canada on a private placement basis pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable Canadian law, and in jurisdictions outside the United States and Canada on a basis which does not require qualification or registration of such securities.

 

We plan to market the securities in this offering both through online and offline means. Online marketing may take the form of contacting potential investors through electronic media and posting our Offering Circular and other materials on an online investment platform.

 

Our Offering will expire on the first to occur of (a) the sale of all 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby, and (b) one (1) year from the initial qualification date. This will be a continuous offering which commences within two calendar days after the qualification date, will be offered on a continuous basis, may continue to be offered for a period in excess of 30 days from the date of initial qualification, and will be offered in an amount that, at the time the offering statement is qualified, is reasonably expected to be offered and sold within one year from the initial qualification date.

 

Investors’ Tender of Funds

 

After the SEC has qualified the Offering Statement, the Company will accept tenders of funds to purchase the Common Stock. The Company may close on investments on a “rolling” basis (so not all investors will receive their securities on the same date). Investors may subscribe by tendering funds via ACH, debit or credit card, wire or check.

 

In order to invest you will be required to subscribe to the Offering at a minimum of $1,000 and agree to the terms of the Offering and the subscription agreement.

 

Upon confirmation that an investor’s funds have cleared, the Company will instruct the Transfer Agent to issue shares to the investor. The Transfer Agent will notify an investor when shares are ready to be issued and the Transfer Agent has set up an account for the investor.

 

In the event that it takes some time for the Company to raise funds in this Offering, the Company may rely on cash on hand, or may seek to raise funds by conducting a new offering of equity or debt securities.

 

There is no aggregate minimum to be raised in order for the Offering to become effective and therefore the Offering will be conducted on a “rolling basis.” This means we will be entitled to begin applying “dollar one” of the proceeds from the Offering towards our business strategy, offering expenses, reimbursements, and other uses as more specifically set forth in the “Use of Proceeds” contained elsewhere in this Offering Circular.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders and the board of directors of HNO International, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HNO International, Inc. as of October 31, 2022 and 2021, the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (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 the Company as of October 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our 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 audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our 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.

HNO INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OCTOBER 31, 2022

 

 

Note 1 – Organization and basis of accounting

 

Organization

 

HNO International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 2, 2005 under the name American Bonanza Resources Limited. On August 4, 2009, the Company acquired Clenergen Corporation Limited (UK), a United Kingdom corporation (“Limited”), and succeeded to the business of Limited. Limited acquired the assets of Rootchange Limited, a biofuel and biomass research and development company, in April 2009. On March 19, 2009, the Company changes its name to Clenergen Corporation. On July 8, 2020, the Company changed its name to Excoin Ltd. and on August 31, 2021, the Company changed its name to HNO International, Inc. its current name.

 

The Company focuses on systems engineering design, integration, and product development for the generation of green hydrogen based solutions to help businesses and communities decarbonize in the near term. For over a decade, the Company’s management has developed innovative hydrogen systems that create, store, and distribute green hydrogen at low costs, and foster emissions reductions. 

 

The global green hydrogen market was valued at $0.3 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow to $9.8 billion by 2028, representing a 54.7% CAGR. The Company is uniquely positioned to be a significant player in this growth.

 

Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for financial information and with the instructions to OTC Markets Alternative Reporting Standard.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The management makes its best estimate of the outcome for these items based on information available when the financial statements are prepared.

 

Employee Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 addresses all forms of share-based payment (“SBP”) awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans and stock incentive shares. Under ASC 718 awards result in a cost that is measured at fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will result in a charge to operations.

 

Property and equipment

 

 F-7 
 

Property and equipment are carried at cost and, less accumulated depreciation. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposal. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of property and equipment when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.

 

The Company’s property and equipment mainly consists of computer and laser equipment. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 4-12 years.

 

Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

Note 3 - Going Concern

 

At October 31, 2022, we had a deficit of $40,168,610, compared to a deficit of $39,097,301 at October 31, 2021. We have not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund our ongoing operations. We will be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing, additional collaborative relationships or other arrangements until we are able to raise revenues to a point of positive cash flow. We are evaluating various options to further reduce our cash requirements to operate at a reduced rate, as well as options to raise additional funds, including obtaining loans and selling common stock. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support operations.

 

Based on the above factors, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of these financial statements.

 

Note 4 – Related party transactions

 

On October 14, 2019, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of the Series A preferred stock to Custodian Ventures LLC, the company controlled by David Lazar, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer for forgiveness of related party debt totaling $10,000.

The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% to the net loss before provision for income taxes as follows:

 

    For the year ended October 31, 2022   For the year ended October 31, 2021
         
Income tax expense (benefit) at statutory rate     (224,975 )     (27,916 )
Change in valuation allowance     224,975       27,916  
Income tax expense     —         —    

 

Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of October 31, 2022 and 2021:

 

    October 31, 2022   October 31, 2021
Gross deferred tax asset     8,435,408       8,177,883  
Valuation allowance     (8,435,408 )     (8,177,883 )
Net deferred tax asset     —         —    

 

Due to the change in ownership, provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $40,168,610 for federal income tax reporting purposes could be subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.

 

The Company has no uncertain tax positions that require the Company to record a liability.

 

The Company had no accrued penalties and interest related to taxes as of October 31, 2022.

HNO INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JANUARY 31, 2023

 

  

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

 

Organization

 

HNO International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 2, 2005 under the name American Bonanza Resources Limited. On August 4, 2009, the Company acquired Clenergen Corporation Limited (UK), a United Kingdom corporation (“Limited”), and succeeded to the business of Limited. Limited acquired the assets of Rootchange Limited, a biofuel and biomass research and development company, in April 2009. On March 19, 2009, the Company changes its name to Clenergen Corporation. On July 8, 2020, the Company changed its name to Excoin Ltd. and on August 31, 2021, the Company changed its name to HNO International, Inc. its current name.

 

The Company specializes in the design, integration, and development of green hydrogen-based clean energy technologies. With the Company’s management having over 13 years of experience in the field of green hydrogen production, the Company is committed to providing scalable products that help businesses and communities decarbonize, reduce emissions, and cut operational costs. HNO stands for Hydrogen and Oxygen. The Company is at the forefront of developing innovative solutions, such as the Compact Hydrogen Refueling System (CHRS) and the Compact Hydrogen Production System (CHPS), which can be used to produce green hydrogen for various applications including fuel cell electric vehicles, hydrogen internal combustion engines, heating, and cooking. The CHPS is highly scalable, capable of producing 100-2,000 (or more) kilograms of hydrogen per day for commercial use in various applications. In addition, the Company develops energy systems that complement the zero-emissions EV infrastructure, reduce harmful emissions, and cut maintenance costs of commercial diesel fleets. By integrating components from leading industry partners, the Company aims to transition fossil fuels to cleaner alternatives and promote lower emissions.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for financial information and with the instructions to OTC Markets Alternative Reporting Standard.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The management makes its best estimate of the outcome for these items based on information available when the financial statements are prepared.

 

 F-19 
 

Employee Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 addresses all forms of share-based payment (“SBP”) awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans and stock incentive shares. Under ASC 718 awards result in a cost that is measured at fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will result in a charge to operations.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost and, less accumulated depreciation. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposal. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of property and equipment when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.

 

The Company’s property and equipment mainly consists of computer and laser equipment. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 4-12 years.

 

Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

At January 31, 2023, we had a deficit of $40,372,101. We have not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund our ongoing operations. We will be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing, additional collaborative relationships or other arrangements until we are able to raise revenues to a point of positive cash flow. We are evaluating various options to further reduce our cash requirements to operate at a reduced rate, as well as options to raise additional funds, including obtaining loans and selling common stock. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support operations.

 

Based on the above factors, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of these financial statements.

 

NOTE 4 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Patents Acquired Under Patent Purchase Agreement

On January 24, 2023, the Company entered into a Patent Purchase Agreement with Donald Owens, the Company's Chairman of the Board of Directors, to acquire several patents related to hydrogen supplemental systems for on-demand hydrogen generation for internal combustion engines and a method and apparatus for increasing combustion efficiency and reducing particulate matter emissions in jet engines. In exchange for these patents, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock to Mr. Owens, valued at $82,500.

 

 F-20 
 

As of January 31, 2023, the patents acquired under the Patent Purchase Agreement with Donald Owens are listed on the Company's balance sheet with a value of $82,500.

 

The details of the patents acquired are listed in the table below, which includes information on the patent numbers, titles, and status in various countries.
