This Amendment No. 1 in no way revises or restates the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Original Filing.  Additionally, there have been no changes to the XBRL data filed in Exhibit 101 of the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing.

The parties entered into the Agreement pursuant to their Binding Letter of Intent dated September 20, 2020.PowerVerde.

 

Pursuant to the merger contemplated byFollowing the Merger, Agreement (the “Merger”)374Water offers a disruptive technology that transforms certain wet wastes such as sewage sludge, biosolids, food waste, hazardous and non-hazardous waste, and forever chemicals (e.g., PFAS) into recoverable resources by focusing on April 16, 2021, Sub merged into Private 374Water, with Private 374Water as the surviving corporation. In connection with the Merger, all Private 374Water shares were canceled and the Company issued to the former Private 374Water shareholders a total of 62,410,452 shares of the Company common stock. Immediately following the Merger, Private 374Water changed its name to 374Water Systems Inc and PowerVerde changed its name to 374Water Inc.

Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements” establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

 

Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 Inputs - Fair value estimates are based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

 

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value:an amortized cost basis:

 

 

Investment Securities Available-for-Sale.Held-to-Maturity. Investment securities available-for-saleheld-to-maturity (“AFS”HTM”) isare recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing modelstheir initial cost, and any discount or other model-based valuation techniques such as presentpremium amortized over the remaining life of the security.

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The majority of our inventory is raw materials and work in progress. Net realizable value is the value of an asset that can be realized upon the sale of the asset, less a reasonable estimate of the costs associated with either the eventual sale or the disposal of the asset in question. We utilize third-party suppliers to produce our products. Costs associated with fabrication, and other costs associated with the manufacturing of products, are recorded as inventory. We periodically evaluate the carrying value of our inventories in relation to estimated forecasts of product demand, which takes into consideration the life cycle of product releases. When quantities on hand exceed estimated sales forecasts, we perform an analysis to determine if a write-down for such excess inventories is required. Once inventory has been written down, it creates a new cost basis for inventory. Inventories are classified as current assets in accordance with recognized industry practice.

Property and Equipment

 

Property and Equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method and an estimated useful life of three years. Expenses for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company’s depreciationDepreciation expense for the three monthsrelated to property and nine months ended September 30, 2022equipment was $650 and $1,374, respectively. as follows:

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets are subject to amortization, and any impairment is determined in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” Intangible assets are stated at historical cost and amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company uses a straight-line method of amortization unless a method that better reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed or otherwise used up can be reliably determined. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was no impairment.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company uses an estimate of the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of its long-lived assets, or related group of assets where applicable, in measuring whether the assets to be held and used will be realizable. Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the future undiscounted expected net cash flows to be generated by the asset. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023 and 2021,December 31, 2022, there were no events or changesimpairments.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities. Deposits with financial institutions are insured, up to certain limits, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company’s cash deposits often exceed the FDIC insurance limit; however, all deposits are maintained with high credit quality institutions and the Company has not experienced any losses in circumstances requiring an impairment analysis.such accounts. The financial condition of financial institutions is periodically reassessed, and the Company believes the risk of any loss is minimal. The Company believes the risk of any loss on cash due to credit risk is minimal. Furthermore, we perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and generally do not require collateral.

Significant customers and suppliers are those that account for greater than 10% of the Company’s revenues and purchases. Our customer revenue for one customer made up over 90% of revenue for the period ended June 30, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022. In 2023 and 2022, the Company purchased a substantial portion of manufacturing services from one third party vendor, Merrell Bros Fabrication, LLC.

 

Revenue Recognition and Concentration

 

The Company follows the revenue standards of ASCCodification (ASC) Topic 606 -606: “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of this Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes 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 those goods or services. Revenue is recognized in accordance with that core principle by applying the following five steps: 1) identify the contracts with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation.  Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition fromobligation using the completion of the equipment build for each customer as the inputs are measured against the cost to build the product. 

The Company’s performance obligations will be satisfied overtime as the specialized equipment is built for the customer.  Based on the Company’s contracts, the Company will have a single performance obligation (build and install of the product). The Company will primarily receive fixed consideration for sales of products.

The majority of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were generated from the sale of the first AirSCWO system.  For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company did not have any ordinary revenue. All revenue generated as of September 30, 2021 was unrelated to the sale of an AirSCWO unit.input method.

Table of Contents

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time over the life of the contract. The Company’s revenue arrangements consist of a single performance obligation to transfer services. Revenue is recognized over time by measuring the progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation using specific milestones. These milestones within the contract are assigned revenue recognition percentages, based on overall expected cost-plus margin estimates of those milestones compared to the total cost of the contract. Contract revenues are recognized in the proportion that contract costs incurred bear to total estimated costs. This method is used because management considers the input method to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Contract costs include all direct material and labor and subcontractor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation. General, selling, and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.

We also record as revenue all amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs and record the actual shipping costs as a component of cost of revenues. Reimbursements received from customers for out-of-pocket expenses are recorded as revenues, with related costs recorded as cost of revenues. We present revenues net of any taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities.

Revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 in the amount of $843,321 were generated from the sale of the AirSCWO system, $8,000 was generated from the sale of treatability services.

Revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 in the amount of $1,303,759 were generated from the sale of the AirSCWO system.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company has accounted for stock-based compensation under the provisions of (ASC)ASC Topic 718 – “Stock Compensation” which requires the use of the fair-value based method to determine compensation for all arrangements under which employees and others receive shares of stock or equity instruments (stock options and common stock purchase warrants). The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of peer companies and other factors estimated over the expected term of the stock options. The expected term of options granted is derived using the “simplified method” which computes expected term as the average of the sum of the vesting term plus the contract term. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the period of the expected term.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This topic also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. There were no uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

 

Income Tax Policy

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method prescribed by ASC 740 - Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.

Such expenditures amounted to $726,602$627,869 and $269,796$608,348 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2023, and 2022, and 2021, respectively.  The Company’s research and development costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Such expenditures amounted to $118,253 and $115,936 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. 

 

LossEarnings (Loss) Per Share

 

LossEarnings (loss) per share is computed in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the Basic weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the years ended June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 include the shares of the Company issued and outstanding during such periods, each on a weighted average basis. The basic weighted average number of shares common stock equivalentsoutstanding excludes common stock equivalent incremental shares, while diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding includes such incremental shares. However, as the Company was in a loss position for all periods presented, basic and otherdiluted weighted average shares outstanding are the same, as the inclusion of the incremental shares would be anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2023, there were the following potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Certain common stock equivalentsthat were not included in theexcluded from diluted net loss per share calculation asbecause their effect would be anti-dilutive.   Thereantidilutive : options for 12,855,467 shares of common stock and 1,235,000 warrants.

Financial Instruments

 

The Company carries cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, at historical costs. The respective estimated fair values of these assets and liabilities approximate carrying values / useful lives of equipment and intangible assets due to their current nature.

Foreign Currency Translation

All assets and liabilities of the Company’s locations whose accounts are denominated in foreign currency are translated into United States dollars at appropriate year-end current exchange rates.  All income and expense accounts of those locations are translated at the average exchange rate for each period. The foreign currency translation amounts for the period ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 are included in accumulated comprehensive income on the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.

 

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 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include the fair value of equity-based compensation, revenue, fair value of intangible assets, useful lives of intangible assets, capital raise transactions, and valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

AllIn June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost basis, Topic 326 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a manner similar to current GAAP, however Topic 326 will require that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. This ASU affects entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other newlyfinancial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has completed its assessment on the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption and noted that there is no impact at this time, and noted a small adjustment for the allowance for bad debt which was recorded on January 1, 2023. This has been regularly assessed and most recently updated as of June 30, 2023.

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all recently issued but not yet effectiveaccounting pronouncements. Recent accounting pronouncements have been deemed to benot specifically identified in our disclosures are either not applicable or immaterial to the Company.Company or are not expected to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

Readers are cautioned that the statements in this Report that are not descriptions of historical facts may be “forward-looking statements” that are subject to risks and uncertainties. This Report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of our management, as well as on assumptions made by and information currently available to us as of the date of this Report. When used in this Report, the words “plan,” “will,” “may,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “project” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Although we believe these statements are reasonable, actual actions, operations and results could differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors included in our 20212022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022,16, 2023, or other factors. We must caution, however, that this list of factors may not be exhaustive and that these or other factors, many of which are outside of our control, could have a material adverse effect on us and our ability to achieve our objectives. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth above.

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of financial statements.

 

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This topic also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

 

Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2021,2022 the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of SeptemberJune 30, 2022.2023.

 

We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. In the event we have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it has been classified in the condensed consolidated financial statements as general and administrative expense.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants

 

The Company accounts for common stock purchase warrants in accordance with ASC Topic 815- 40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”). Based on the provisions of ASC 815- 40, the Company classifies as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement, or (ii) gives the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company), or (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, there were 1,250,0001,235,000 outstanding warrants. warrants classified as equity.

 

Stock-based compensation.

 

We account for stock-based compensation based on ASC Topic 718-Stock Compensation which requires expensing of stock options and other share-based payments based on the fair value of each stock option awarded. The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model. This model requires management to estimate the expected volatility, expected dividends, and expected term as inputs to the valuation model.

Our vision is a world without waste and our mission is to help create and preserve a clean and healthy environment that sustains life.

We have developed proprietary waste stream treatment systems based on Supercritical Water Oxidation (SCWO). The term used for the Merger withprocess is AirSCWO. SCWO leverages the former 374Water Inc. (“unique properties of water in its supercritical phase (above 374 Water”) (the “374Water Merger”). PursuantoC and 221 Bar) to convert organic matter to energy and safe products that can be recovered and used. We believe the parties’ merger agreement,AirSCWO systems will be largely waste stream agnostic and able to treat a variety of complex, hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams, opening up opportunities for multiple applications in diverse market verticals on an international scale. Most pertinently, the technology is shifting the landscape in addressing environmental challenges that, until now, have been considered unsurmountable (due to science/engineering or cost barriers), one good example being the global PFAS crisis.

We currently outsource manufacturing of the AirSCWO systems to our acquisition subsidiary merged into 374Water, with 374Water asstrategic partner in the surviving corporation. In connection with the 374Water Merger, all 374Water shares were canceled and 374Water Inc. f/k/a PowerVerde,US, Merrell Bros., Inc., issuedthat have the facilities and capability to rapidly ramp-up manufacturing volumes and also support system modifications and deployment as required per market and clients. We envision in the former 374Water shareholdersfuture applying an outsourced manufacturing model in a totalfew territories, and may consider establishing our own manufacturing capability in geographies where this is needed to adequately grow our market share.

Our goal is to supply the systems to multiple market verticals, and our revenue model includes both capital equipment sales and long-term service agreements based on throughput and capacity (Waste Purchase Agreements). Our market penetration strategy is combined of 62,410,452 sharesdirect client and channel partner sales routes, depending on the specific market and territory. In some cases, the systems may be white labeled and sold as part of our common stock.a broader solution package.

Our management’s evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting was based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on this evaluation, our management concluded thathas remediated the material weakness relating to the lack of proper detailed review as of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023. The Company increased its oversight over financial reporting following the addition of an internal financial reporting manager as well as enhanced controls around reporting. As a result of this remediated material weakness, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective. The Company’s management determined that the previously identified material weakness (as described below) had been remediatedeffective as of SeptemberJune 30, 2022.

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 will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses which we identified in our internal control over financial reporting:

A lack of entity level controls due to ineffective board of directors and no audit committee.

Effective June 13, 2022, the Company appointed Buddie Joe (BJ) Penn, Yizhaq (Itzik) Polad, James M. Vanderhider and Deanna Rene to the Board of Directors. Additionally and in connection with their appointment to the Board, Mr. Penn was appointed to the Company’s recently established Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (Chairperson), Mr. Polad was appointed to the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee (Chairperson) and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Mr. Vanderhider was appointed to the Audit Committee (Chairperson). As of September 30, 2022, the Company now has the knowledge and expertise deemed to satisfy the entity level controls for a board of directors and associated audit committee.2023.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
