Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents. The Company had $63,529 and $55,434 cash equivalents at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Inventory
Inventories consist of raw materials which are stated at lower cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined on the weighted average method. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company held inventories of $102,268 and $114,645, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded cost of goods sold of $13,854 and $0 associated with the cost of inventories sold, respectively. The Company did not write-off any inventories as unsalable during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method. Currently our assets consist solely of furniture and equipment which we amortize over a useful life of 5 years.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Improvements of a major nature are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in income.
Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on any changes ina comparison of the estimates and assumptions thatundiscounted future cash flows to the Company uses inrecorded value of the preparation ofasset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its financial statements that are reviewed no less than annually. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions due to changes in environmental-related regulations or future operational plans, and the inherent imprecision associated with estimating such future matters.estimated fair value.
(c) Revenue Recognition
The Company's business activities include providing wastewater treatment for companies and haulers in Ventura County, California, and in adjacent counties. The Company recognizes revenue at the time its customers unload untreated wastewater at the Company's facility. Concurrent with the recognitionFair Value of revenue, the Company records the estimated costs to treat and dispose of the wastewater on hand.Financial Instruments
The Company recognizes revenueuses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when persuasive evidenceavailable, and to minimize the use of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.unobservable inputs, when determining fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows:
(d) Concentrations of Credit Risks
● | Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; | |
● | Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and | |
● | Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions. |
The Company’s financial instruments, thatincluding cash, prepaid expenses, inventory, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related party, are exposed to concentrationscarried at amortized cost. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying amounts of credit risk consist principallythese instruments approximated their fair values because of cash and trade receivables. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. However, cash balances have exceeded FDIC insured levels at various times. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk in cash.the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company’s trade receivables result primarily from removal or transportation of waste, and the concentration of credit risk is limited to a broad customer base located throughout the Western United States.
(e) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value Measurements are adopted by the Company based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board , with the exception of the application of the statement to non-recurring, non-financial assets and liabilities as permitted. The adoption based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board did not have a material impact on the Company's fair value measurements. Based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB authoritative guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2- Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3- Unobservable inputs based on the Company's assumptions.
FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.
(f) Stock Compensation CostsRelated Parties
The Company periodically issues stock optionsfollows ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and warrants to employees and non-employees in capital raisingdisclosure of related party transactions for services and for financing costs. Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. Options vest and expire according to terms established at the grant date.(see Note 8).

Revenue
We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard’s stated core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for warrantsthose goods or services. To achieve this core principle, ASC 606 includes provisions within a five-step model that includes identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and optionsrecognizing revenue when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Our revenues currently consist of products used for lumber products for fire prevention. Revenue is recognized at a point in time that is which the risks and rewards of ownership of the products transfer from the Company to the customer.

Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared (i) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and (ii) assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant income to date. The Company is subject to the risks and uncertainties including butassociated with a business with no substantive revenue, as well as limitations on its operating capital resources. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not limited to: (a)include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. In light of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise capital and generate revenue and profits in the future.
Critical Accounting Policies

Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervisionOur management is responsible for establishing and with the participationmaintaining a system of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in RulesRule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) ofunder the Exchange Act (defined below)). Based uponAct) 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 effectiveis designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filedthat we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the required time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to ourthe issuer’s management, including ourits principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
OurAn evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of 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,effectiveness of the design and operation 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. 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.
Because the Company was dormant from February 2010 to January 2021 disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020 are deemed2023. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be ineffective.disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms as a result of the following material weaknesses: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee, (2) lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board of Directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (3) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (4) management is dominated by one individual without adequate compensating controls.
A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We expect to be materially dependent upon a third party to provide us with accounting consulting services for the foreseeable future. Until such time as we have a chief financial officer with the requisite expertise in U.S. GAAP, there are no assurances that the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will not result in errors in our financial statements which could lead to a restatement of those financial statements.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial ReportingControls
In addition,There have been no changes in our managementinternal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the participationevaluation required by paragraph (d) of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial OfficerSecurities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 that occurred in the period ended March 31, 2023, that have determined that change inmaterially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
