Item 1. Business.

Corporate History

The Company was incorporated under the name Woodland Holdings Corp. (“Woodland”) in the state of Delaware on January 21, 2009 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CornerWorld Corporation (“CWC”), a Nevada corporation publicly traded on the OTCQB exchange. The Company was originally formed as a holding company for three telecommunications services subsidiaries Phone Services and More, L.L.C., doing business as Visitatel (“PSM”), T2 Communications, L.L.C. (“T2”), and TinyDial, LLC (“TinyDial” and together with PSM and T2, the “Subsidiaries”).

On August 13, 2015, CWC’s Board of Directors formally approved a plan whereby Woodland and its wholly-owned subsidiaries were to be spun off in their entirety. On October 14, 2015, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) formally informed Woodland that its registration statement had become effective, clearing the way for the spin-off. Finally, on December 31, 2015, CWC’s Board of Directors spun-off Woodland to CWC’s stockholders of record as of December 31, 2015 (the “Record Date”). CWC stockholders, as of the Record Date, received shares in Woodland equal to their pro-rata ownership percentage of CWC. For every share owned by CWC’s stockholders as of the Record Date, those same stockholders were issued 1 share of Woodland’s Common Stock.

Divestment

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Transaction (as defined below), on March 31, 2017, the Company sold 100% of the outstanding membership interests of the Company’s Subsidiaries to Enversa Companies, LLC for cash consideration of $1.00. At the time of the sale, the Subsidiaries had substantially ceased all operations and had no active customers or employees.

Change in Control

On March 31, 2017, Scott N. Beck (the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer and Chairman), V. Chase McCrea III (the Company’s then Chief Financial Officer), Marc Blumberg (a then member of the Board of Directors), IU Holdings II, GP, Inc., and Opal Capital, LLC, among others, (collectively, the “Selling Stockholders”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated March 31, 2017 (the “Agreement”), with 4M Industrial Oxidation, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (“4MIO”), pursuant to which 4MIO purchased from the Selling Stockholders an aggregate of 3,664,641 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, representing approximately 78.7% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company and substantially all of the shares of Common Stock of the Company held by the Selling Stockholders, in consideration for $100,000, or approximately $0.025 per share (the “Transaction”). The foregoing sale of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders resulted in a change in control of the Company.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Transaction, the following actions occurred:

Scott Beck, V. Chase McCrea III and Marc Blumberg resigned from all of their positions with the Company and Joshua M. Kimmel was appointed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President and as a member to the Board of Directors of the Company;

Scott Beck relinquished his security interest in the Company’s assets, pursuant to that certain Promissory Note, dated as of March 30, 2011, between the Company and Mr. Beck (the “Note”). Mr. Beck also released the Company from responsibility for any accrued but unpaid interest and late fees accrued on the Note.

Reverse Merger

On April 6, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 6, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”), with 4MIO Merger Sub, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”), and 4M Industrial Oxidation, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (“4MIO”), for the purposes of consummating a reverse merger (the “Reverse Merger”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into 4MIO, with 4MIO being the surviving company and resulting in 4MIO becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Reverse Merger was intended to constitute a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

In the Reverse Merger, the members of 4MIO exchanged their membership interests of 4MIO, representing 100% of the outstanding membership interests of 4MIO, for aggregate of 55 million (55,000,000) shares of Common Stock of the Company which represented approximately 78.46% of the shares of Common Stock of the Company based on an aggregate of 70,096,470 shares of Common Stock outstanding upon consummation of the Merger.

On April 4, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Rodney G. Grubb as the Chairman of the Board, and each Dr. Truman A. Bonds and Douglas D. Mentzer as directors. Each director serves for a period of one year, until the next annual stockholders’ meeting and their respective successors are elected and qualified or upon their earlier resignation or removal:

On April 4, 2017, the Board appointed the following persons as executive officers of the Company, to serve at the pleasure of the Board until their successors are appointed or upon their earlier resignation or removal:


Name:		Office:
Erwin W. Vahlsing, Jr.		Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer)
Rodney G. Grubb		Chief Operating Office
Dr. Truman A. Bonds		Chief Technology Officer

On March 28, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Mr. Paresh Chari as a member of the Board, to serve until the next annual stockholders meeting and until his replacement is elected and qualified.

On May 1, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Robert M. Klawonn as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective immediately. Mr. Klawonn replaced Joshua M. Kimmel as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Kimmel remains the Company’s President and a member of the Board of Directors.

Recapitalization

On April 24, 2017, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware thereby to increase the authorized amount of Common Stock of the Company from 100 Million (100,000,000) shares to 250 Million (250,000,000) shares; (ii) reduce the par value of the Common Stock from $0.01 to $0.0001 per share, and (iii) authorize 25,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”). The amendment was effective May 15, 2017 and was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and the stockholders holding an aggregate of 50,640,679 outstanding shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 72.24% of all the then outstanding shares of Common Stock which were entitled to be voted at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company or action by written consent in lieu of a meeting as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law and the By-laws of the Company.

Name Change

On February 20, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State thereby changing the name of the Company to 4M Carbon Fiber Corp. (the “Name Change”). The Name Change was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company at a meeting of the Board held on February 14, 2018 pursuant to Section 242(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), which permits such amendments to be adopted by a corporation’s Board of Directors without stockholder approval. The Name Change was effective upon acceptance of the Certificate of Amendment by the Delaware Secretary of State. The Name Change does not affect the rights of the Company’s stockholders and no action is required by stockholders.

Strategic ‘Pivot’ from Hardware Sales to Carbon Fiber Producer

In late 2017, 4M began working on a new business model of carbon fiber production instead of selling the equipment and licensing technology. Plasma Oxidation offers significant benefits to the user, and as a result 4M began planning a shift of strategy from one of a hardware supplier / licensor to that of a low-cost carbon fiber producer. 4M began communicating this strategy to carbon fiber manufacturers and industry participants in late 2017.

Operations

4M Carbon Fiber Corp., a Knoxville, Tennessee based carbon-fiber technology company holds the exclusive rights to commercialize an atmospheric plasma oxidation process that was co-developed by the Oak Ridge National Laboratories and RMX Technologies, LLC. The technology is patent protected until 2032, with significant IP in the form of trade secrets (equipment designs and operational), and has the potential to reduce the cost of carbon fiber through a combination of operating cost reduction and fixed cost dilution (i.e. capacity increase). The Company also believes its product will be superior in a number of aspects to fiber produced using current processes.

The Company has partnered with both RMX Technologies and C.A. Litzler & Co., Inc., a global leader in manufacturing carbon fiber production sub-systems, to design and manufacture commercial-scale plasma oxidation ovens. 4M, RMX and Litzler intend to collaborate in the design and manufacture of plasma oxidation ovens for use by 4M. 4M will control manufacture of the plasma subsystems for integration into jointly designed ovens. 4M is intending to exclusively build, own and operate carbon fiber production lines leveraging the benefits of these commercial-scale plasma oxidation ovens.

The Market and Plasma Oxidation Technology Benefits

The carbon fiber market is approximately $2 billion and expected to experience >10% CAGR through 2025 according to Chris Red, Carbon Fiber 2017, with growing demand from Industrial sectors including the auto industry, pressure vessels, infrastructure, wind and others. Projections from the JEC Conference in Arizona in November 2016 are that more than 100 new carbon fiber lines will be required if there is no significant reduction in carbon fiber cost and the need may drastically increase with a reduction in the cost of carbon fiber.

Research generated by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory indicates that 4M’s plasma oxidation technology is projected to reduce costs by more than $2 per pound of fiber produced. Each modern carbon fiber line produces more than 3.0 million pounds per year. That translates to $6 million per year in cost savings per production line.

Oxidation is a critical step in the production of carbon fibers. It plays a major role in defining the final carbon fiber properties, but it takes the most time, consumes the most energy, and is the greatest source of downtime.

4M Plasma Oxidation technology expands the operating window for carbon fiber production, enabling faster oxidation of larger filaments, thereby increasing capacity and establishing a new breed of larger carbon fiber filaments. In addition, shorter residence times in oxidation will reduce fiber handling issues. Furthermore, in contrast to conventional warm air oxidation, the Plasma ovens will facilitate greater thermal and mechanical control throughout the oxidation process, permitting refinement of process control unavailable to conventional carbon fiber lines.

Carbon fiber production will be much more profitable as a result of the drastic reduction in energy use and the time of oxidation primarily as a result of increased throughput, reducing fixed costs per kilogram. In direct comparison, 4M's oxidation ovens will require significantly less heated length than conventional technology, thus requiring less fiber handling equipment, fewer personnel. These improvements will lead to a significant reduction in gross air emissions for the same capacity. This technology enables the production of up to three times as much product in the same operational footprint resolving a significant barrier to meeting market growth targets using traditional technology.

4M currently operates a small oxidation oven and has demonstrated the technology to multiple carbon fiber production companies by successfully processing their precursor materials. The oven has logged more than a thousand operating hours, proving efficiency gains and fiber quality. 4M’s full scale commercialization plan is underway.

Commercialization Status

4M, RMX and Litzler will collaborate to implement commercial-scale plasma oxidation ovens for 4M exclusive use. In March 2016, 4M, RMX and CA Litzler successfully partnered to manufacture a 175 ton per year plasma oxidation oven sub-section. Litzler is a global leader in manufacturing oxidation ovens and other carbon fiber production systems. RMX will provide the plasma subsystems, while Litzler will supply the oven equipment and fiber handling equipment.

4M is in the process of assembling a team of carbon fiber experience and managerial leadership to position the Company for Investment and Operational success. 2018 will be used to take additional steps in this new strategy towards commercial production of low-cost carbon fibers, including:

Establishing a strategic management team

Retention of experienced carbon fiber design engineers

Raising of capital

Preparing strategic plans and business models for an Initial Public Offering

Site Selection, including negotiation of State / Local Incentive Packages

Acquisition of a Product Development Line using Plasma Oxidation

Start of Basic Engineering for Production Line 1

Intellectual Property

RMX Technologies, LLC (RMX), jointly invented plasma oxidation with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory over a multiyear period. This joint development work was successfully concluded in 2015. That same year RMX created a subsidiary company, 4M Industrial Oxidation, LLC (4MIO) with the express purpose of commercializing its plasma oxidation technology. In early 2016, RMX executed an exclusive license agreement with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s management company UT-Battelle, LLC (UTB). This UTB-RMX license agreement gave RMX the exclusive worldwide rights to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell and dispose of plasma oxidation technology equipment and fiber produced by such equipment for the life of the existing IP. In return, RMX pays UTB a royalty from revenue earned on equipment and fiber sales and any related additional revenue.

RMX, in turn executed an exclusive license agreement with 4MIO on April 4, 2016, giving 4MIO exclusive worldwide rights for plasma oxidation of polymeric fibers. Pursuant to that certain Intellectual Property License Agreement, dated April 4, 2016, as amended, between 4MIO and RMX, RMX granted 4MIO an exclusive license to use the Licensed Patents in association with the development, production, marketing and sale of products produced by 4MIO from the Licensed Patents (the “Licensed Products”) throughout the world (the “Territory”). The term of the License Agreement commenced on April 4, 2016 and expires on the expiration date of the last patent of the Licensed Patents, unless otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms thereto (the “Term”). In consideration of the license, 4MIO is obligated to pay RMX a fee of $150,000 (the “License Issue Fee”) on or before June 30, 2018. In addition to the License Issue Fee, 4MIO has agreed to reimburse RMX for any underlying and/or “upstream” license fees and/or royalties paid by RMX based on the plasma oxidation Licensed Patents. Pursuant to the RMX-4MIO License Agreement, any Intellectual Property discovered solely by either party during the Term shall be its property. However, for any intellectual property developed by 4MIO or jointly developed by RMX and 4MIO, RMX shall be granted a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use such intellectual property in any legal manner determined by RMX to be appropriate. The License Agreement may be terminated by the mutual agreement by the parties. In the event 4MIO becomes insolvent, makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors, is subject to any bankruptcy or receivership proceedings, or fails to comply with any of its obligations under the License Agreement, RMX may serve a Notice of Default to 4MIO. If 4MIO fails to cure the default within 30 days of receipt of the Notice of Default, RMX may then serve a Notice of Termination which case the License Agreement shall be terminated and all of the Licensed Patents shall immediately revert to RMX.

Employees

We currently are working with various independent consultants and sales representatives, part-time production and development personnel provided by RMX with a total infrastructure of 17 people, with 6 of the 17 as full-time employees.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following are certain identifiable risk factors for our business operations.

We have substantial indebtedness. The amount of our outstanding indebtedness continues to increase and our ability to make payments towards such indebtedness could have adverse consequences on future operations.

Our outstanding indebtedness at December 31, 2017 was $1,204,328, which was comprised of a variety of short-term and long-term borrowings; convertible debentures; accounts payable; accrued expenses and interest; and related party loans. The level of indebtedness we have affects our operations in a number of ways. We will need to use a portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest and meet payables commitments, which will reduce the amount of funds we will have available to finance our operations. This lack of funds could limit our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business and the industry in which we operate and could limit our ability to make funds available for other purposes, such as inventory purchases, payroll, development or acquisition activities. Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and reduce our total indebtedness will depend upon our future performance. Our future performance, in turn, is dependent upon many factors that are beyond our control such as general economic, financial and business conditions. We cannot guarantee that our future performance will not be adversely affected by such economic conditions and financial, business and other factors.

Our failure to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations could reduce our ability to compete successfully and adversely affect our results of operations.

We may need to raise additional funds to achieve our future strategic objectives, and we may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, if at all. If we raise additional equity financing, our security holders may experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the value of shares of our common stock could decline. If we engage in debt financing, we may be required to accept terms that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, force us to maintain specified liquidity or other ratios or restrict our ability to pay dividends or make acquisitions. If we need additional capital and cannot raise it on acceptable terms, we may not be able to, among other things:

• develop and enhance our existing products and services;

• continue to expand our operations;

• hire, train and retain employees; or

• respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated working capital requirements.

Our inability to do any of the foregoing could reduce our ability to compete successfully and adversely affect our results of operations.

Our success depends in part on the retention of our executive officers and key management, and our ability to hire and retain key personnel.

Our success depends on the experience, performance and skills of our executive officers, senior management and other key employees. Competition for skilled and experienced personnel is intense, and our future success will also depend on our ability to attract, incentivize and retain qualified personnel. Failure to attract, appropriately incentivize and retain qualified personnel could have an adverse effect on our operations. There can be no assurance that our executive succession planning, retention or hiring efforts will be successful. In addition, any or all of our key employees may decide to leave for a variety of personal or other reasons beyond our control.

Our business particularly depends upon the continued efforts, abilities and expertise of our officers and directors: Robert Klawonn, CEO; Joshua M. Kimmel, President and Director; Rodney G. Grubb, COO and Chairman; Erwin W. Vahlsing, Jr., CFO; Dr. Truman A. Bonds, CTO and Director; Douglas D. Mentzer, Vice President Finance and Strategic Development and Director; and Paresh M. Chari, Director. We believe that the unique combination of skills and experience these officers and directors possess would be difficult to replace, and their loss could have a material adverse effect on us, including impairing our ability to execute our business strategy. Although we have entered into written employment agreements with Robert Klawonn, Joshua M. Kimmel, Rodney G. Grubb and Truman A. Bonds, and Douglas Mentzer, and a consulting agreement with Erwin Vahlsing, Jr., the loss of any of them could have an adverse effect on our business.

We face competition from companies with far greater resources than we have. In addition, methods of competition in the production of carbon fiber continues to change and evolve. If we are unable to meet these changes, our business could be harmed.

We operate in a market sector that requires large capital investments, and is highly competitive. The principal methods of competition in the markets in which we compete are production capability, quality and features of the end product, and price competitiveness. We compete in an international market, and face a significant number of international competitors, some of which have far greater resources than us. Among our principal competitors are Nestlé Waters North America, large regional brands owned by private groups, and local competitors in the markets that we serve. Price reductions and the introduction of new products by our competitors can adversely affect our revenues, gross margins, and profits.

If we fail to meet certain commercialization milestones or otherwise default under our license agreement with Remaxco, we will lose our rights to the licensed intellectual property.

Pursuant to our license agreement with RMX, we assumed RMX’s obligations under its license agreement with UT-Battelle, including, but not limited, achieving certain commercialization milestones. In the event we do not meet such commercialization milestones or otherwise default the agreement, our exclusive license to the Licensed Patents will terminate. Our loss to use the License Patents will have a material adverse effect on our business and cause you to lose your investment in our securities.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to develop or maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results and prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential shareholders could lose confidence in our financial statements, which would harm the trading price of our Common Stock.

Companies that file reports with the SEC, including us, are subject to the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX 404”) SOX 404 requires management to establish and maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting and annual reports on Form 10-K filed under the Exchange Act to contain a report from management assessing the effectiveness of a company's internal control over financial reporting. Separately, under SOX 404, as amended by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, public companies that are large accelerated filers or accelerated filers must include in their annual reports on Form 10-K an attestation report of their regular auditors attesting to and reporting on management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting. Non-accelerated filers and smaller reporting companies, like us, are not required to include an attestation report of their auditors in annual reports.

A report of our management is included under “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” in this Form 10-K. We are a smaller reporting company and, consequently, are not required to include an attestation report of our auditor in our annual report. However, if and when we become subject to the auditor attestation requirements under SOX 404, we can provide no assurance that we will receive a positive attestation from our independent auditors.

During its evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, management identified material weaknesses. These material weaknesses were associated with (i) our lack of appropriate policies and procedures to evaluate the proper accounting and disclosures of key documents and agreements and (ii) our lack of sufficient and skilled accounting personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge and experience in the application of GAAP commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. We are undertaking remedial measures, which measures will take time to implement and test, to address these material weaknesses. There can be no assurance that such measures will be sufficient to remedy the material weaknesses identified or that additional material weaknesses or other control or significant deficiencies will not be identified in the future. If we continue to experience material weaknesses in our internal controls or fail to maintain or implement required new or improved controls, such circumstances could cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements, or adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations and, if required, annual auditor attestation reports. Each of the foregoing results could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and lead to a decline in our stock price.

Moreover, if we identify any material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls we will have to implement appropriate changes to these controls, which may require specific compliance training for our directors, officers and employees, require the hiring of additional finance, accounting, legal and other personnel, entail substantial costs to modify our existing accounting systems and take a significant period of time to complete. Such changes may not, however, be effective in maintaining the adequacy of our internal controls, and any failure to maintain that adequacy, or consequent inability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis, could increase our operating costs and could materially impair our ability to operate our business. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to prevent fraud. As a result, our failure to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 on a timely basis could result in us being subject to regulatory action and a loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, both of which in turn could cause the market value of our Common Stock to decline.

A material weakness in internal controls may remain undetected for a longer period because of our Company’s exemption from the auditor attestation requirements under Section 404(b) of Sarbanes-Oxley.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s attestation in this Annual Report. As a result, a material weakness in our internal controls may remain undetected for a longer period.

If we are unable to succeed in marketing, making sales and building our customer base to support our business operations, we will be unable to achieve profitable operations, and our business may fail.

If we are unable to succeed in marketing, making sales and building our customer base to support our business operations, it could be detrimental to our profitability. Numerous factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of the products offered. These factors include, but are not limited to, shifting demand for varieties of carbon fiber, new or shifting product requirements, and emerging competition. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but it is possible they may result in our not receiving an adequate return on our invested capital.

Because we are dependent on third parties, should those services be interrupted or become more costly, we may experience a material adverse effect on the acceptance of our brand and on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

There is risk of change in the types of products being manufactured, and our ability to manufacture the products required by our customers may be limited. Because we are dependent on precursor materials manufactured by other suppliers, we face potential losses if any of these products are interrupted or become more costly. Additionally, any failure on the part of these partners, upon whom we may rely to supply us with products and services, will reflect poorly upon our brand, and therefore result in reduced revenue.

If we are unable to successfully manage growth, our operations could be adversely affected.

Our progress is expected to require the full utilization of our management, financial and other resources, which to date has operated with limited working capital. Our ability to manage growth effectively will depend on our ability to improve and expand operations, including our financial and management information systems, and to recruit, train and manage production and sales personnel. There can be no absolute assurance that management will be able to manage growth effectively.

If we do not properly manage the growth of our business, we may experience significant strains on our management and operations and disruptions in our business. Various risks arise when companies and industries grow quickly. If our business or industry grows too quickly, our ability to meet customer demand in a timely and efficient manner could be challenged. We may also experience development delays as we seek to meet increased demand for our products. Our failure to properly manage the growth that we or our industry might experience could negatively impact our ability to execute on our operating plan and, accordingly, could have an adverse impact on our business, our cash flow and results of operations, and our reputation with our current or potential customers.

If our products are found to cause injury, have defects, or fail to meet industry standards, we will incur substantial litigation, judgment, product liability, and product recall costs, which will increase our losses and negatively affect our brand name reputation and product sales.

Defects may be found in our products. Any such defects could cause us to incur significant return and exchange costs, re-engineering costs, divert the attention of our engineering personnel from product development efforts, and cause significant customer relations and business reputation problems. Any such defects could force us to undertake a product recall program, which could cause us to incur significant expenses and could harm our reputation and that of our products. If we deliver products with defects, our credibility and the market acceptance and sales of our products could be harmed.

Moreover, we may be subject to liability for any accidents or injury that may occur in connection with the use of our products. We believe we are adequately insured in the event such claims are brought. If we are unable to obtain such insurance, product liability claims could adversely affect our brand name reputation, revenues and ultimately lead to losses. The occurrence of any claims, judgments, or product recalls will negatively affect our brand name image and product sales, as well as lead to additional costs.

Our commercial success depends significantly on our ability to develop and commercialize our potential products without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties.

Our commercial success will depend, in part, on operating our business without infringing the patents or proprietary rights of third parties. Third parties that believe we are infringing on their rights could bring actions against us claiming damages and seeking to enjoin the development, marketing and distribution of our products. If we become involved in any litigation, it could consume a substantial portion of our resources, regardless of the outcome of the litigation. If any of these actions are successful, we could be required to pay damages and/or to obtain a license to continue to develop or market our products, in which case we may be required to pay substantial royalties. However, any such license may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. Ultimately, we could be prevented from commercializing a product or forced to cease some aspect of our business operations as a result of patent infringement claims, which would harm our business.

Because our articles of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law limit the liability of our officers, directors, and others, shareholders may have no recourse for acts performed in good faith.

Under our articles of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law, each of our officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants and agents are not liable to us or the shareholders for any acts they perform in good faith, or for any non-action or failure to act, except for acts of fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. Our articles and bylaws provide that we will indemnify each of our officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants and agents from any claim, loss, cost, damage liability and expense by reason of any act undertaken or omitted to be undertaken by them, unless the act performed or omitted to be performed constitutes fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, may make it more difficult for us to retain or attract officers and directors.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was enacted in response to public concerns regarding corporate accountability in connection with recent accounting scandals. The stated goals of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are to increase corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies, and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act generally applies to all companies that file or are required to file periodic reports with the SEC, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a public company, we are required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We continue to evaluate and monitor developments with respect to these rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

Because the industry is dependent upon general economic conditions and uncertainties, future developments could result in a material adverse effect on our business.

US trade & industry is subject to economic changes and periodical fluctuations. Prolonged declines in the economy and/or a recession could have a material adverse effect on our business. The national economy is affected by numerous factors and conditions, all of which are beyond our control, including (a) Interest rates; (b) Inflation; (c) Employment levels; (d) Changes in disposable income; (e) Financing availability; (f) Federal and state income tax policies; (g) tariffs and import/export fees; and (g) Consumer confidence.

There is currently no public market for our common stock. Failure to develop or maintain a trading market could negatively affect its value and make it difficult or impossible for you to sell your shares.

There currently is no public market for our common stock as we have not been approved for trading by the Financial Industry Regulatory Agency (“FINRA”), and an active public market for our common stock may not develop. Failure to develop or maintain an active trading market could make it difficult for you to sell your shares or recover any part of your investment in us should you decide to convert some or all of your investment. Even if a market for our common stock does develop, the market price of our common stock may be highly volatile. In addition to the uncertainties relating to future operating performance and the profitability of operations, factors such as variations in interim financial results or various, as yet unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond our control, may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.

Because the payment of dividends is at the discretion of the Board of Directors, investors may not realize cash dividends at the frequency or in the amounts they anticipate.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including but not limited to our financial condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit agreements that we may be a party to at the time. Distributions to our stockholders are subordinate to the payment of our debts and obligations. If we have insufficient funds to pay our debts and obligations, distributions to stockholders will be suspended pending the payment of such debts and obligations. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their own Common Stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to recover their initial investment.

We are an “emerging growth company” and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced financial disclosure obligations, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We may take advantage of these provisions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest to occur of: the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.0 billion in annual revenue; the date we qualify as a large accelerated filer, with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates; the issuance, in any three-year period, by us of more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced reporting burdens. If we take advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in future filings, the information that we provide our security holders may be different than you might get from other public companies in which you hold equity interests. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, by-laws, Delaware law and the convertible notes may have anti-takeover effects that could prevent a change in control even if the change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders.

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, by-laws and Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions include:

our Board of Directors has the right to elect directors to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the Board of Directors or the resignation, death or removal of a director, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our Board of Directors;

stockholders must provide advance notice to nominate individuals for election to the Board of Directors or to propose matters that can be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting; such provisions may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company; and

our Board of Directors may issue, without stockholder approval, shares of up to 25,000 currently undesignated preferred stock; the ability to issue undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us.

Further, as a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to certain Delaware law anti-takeover provisions. Under Delaware law, a corporation may not engage in a business combination with any holder of 15% or more of its capital stock unless the holder has held the stock for three years or, among other things, the Board of Directors has approved the transaction. Our Board of Directors could rely on Delaware law to prevent or delay an acquisition of us. Additionally, certain provisions of the convertible notes could make it more difficult or more expensive for a third party to acquire us or could also have the effect of delaying or reducing the likelihood of a change in control of us even if such acquisition or change of control may be favorable to our stockholders.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2. Properties

Our principal executive office is located at 835 Innovation Drive, Suite 200, Knoxville, TN 37932. The office is rented on a sublease basis from Remaxco Technologies, LLC, which sublets only the portion of office and workshop space that the Company utilizes. This rental rate is at the same price as Remaxco pays the landlord. Rental payments are current. We believe that our properties are adequate for our current needs, but growth potential may require a separate, and larger facility due to anticipated addition of production equipment and personnel. We do not have any policies regarding investments in real estate, securities or other forms of property.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The Company may, from time to time, become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. The Company is currently not aware of any such legal proceedings that it believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operating results.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Market Information

There is currently no public market for our Common Stock. While we are a publicly reporting Company and file our reports with the SEC, we anticipate that during the latter part of 2018, the Company will be registering with the Financial Industry Regulatory Agency to obtain a ticker symbol and begin trading on an exchange.

Holders of Our Common Stock

As of December 31, 2017, we had 72,793,709 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by 69 shareholders of record.

Dividends

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Delaware Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

1. we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or;

2. our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

We do not have any equity compensation plans.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2017 and 2016

Revenues

We generated revenues of $154,206 for the year ended December 31, 2017, as compared with revenues of $-0- for the year ended December 31, 2016. We expect that over the coming year revenue will be nominal and solely derived from additional testing of fiber production utilizing customer precursor materials, more substantial revenue will be derived when our carbon fiber facility comes on line, and from royalties earned from other manufacturers utilizing our patented technology.

Cost of Sales

Our cost of sales was $908,914 for the year ended December 31, 2017, as compared with cost of sales of $427,085 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The current years cost of sales increased versus the prior year with both years exceeding revenue as a result of costs associated with development and testing activities as the Company tests various techniques and configurations. We therefore had a gross loss of $754,708 for the year ended December 31, 2017, as compared with a gross loss of $427,085 for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Operating Expenses

We incurred operating expenses of $751,050 for the year ended December 31, 2017, as compared with $102,777 for the year ended December 31, 2016. Our operating expenses increased primarily as a result an increase of $246,397 in administrative payroll, associated taxes and benefit costs, $116,534 for legal, accounting, and compliance costs connected with our public reporting obligations, $160,000 on director fees, $120,000 on rent, and $108,119 on travel and overhead costs, as compared to $102,077 in rent and overhead costs for the year ended December 31, 2016.

We incurred other expenses of $45,707 for the year ended December 31, 2017, as compared with $9,129 for the year ended December 31, 2016. We incurred interest expense of $40,509 for the year ended December 31, 2017, as compared with $9,129 for the year ended December 31, 2016. Borrowings during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, lead to our increased interest expense. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we also charged to operations $5,198 as a loss from discontinued operations of Woodland Holdings, prior to our acquisition.

Net Loss

We incurred a net loss of $1,551,464 for the year ended December 31, 2017, as compared with a net loss of $538,991 for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2017, we had current assets of $1,460,139 and total assets of $2,143,750. As of December 31, 2016, we had current assets of $50,993 and total assets of $863,673. The overall increase in current assets is primarily due to increases in cash of $1,258,580, and a net increase in fixed assets of $29,700.

We had current liabilities of $1,114,328 and total liabilities of $1,204,328 as of December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2016, we had current and total liabilities of $635,067. The increase in liabilities is primarily a result of increases in related party loans of $200,000, accounts payable and accrued expenses of $261,315, accrued interest of $40,510, and the issuance of convertible debentures totaling $90,000.

As such, we had a working capital surplus of $345,811 and a working capital deficit of $425,305 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Cash Flow Analysis

Operating activities used $1,159,933 in cash for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to $404,919 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase in cash used was primarily attributable to the operating loss of $1,551,464 offset by an increase in accrued expenses of $341,741 and a reduction accounts payable of $27,799.

Investing activities used $196,487 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to $46,022 for the year ended December 31, 2016. In 2017, the Company acquired a control block of shares in Woodland Holdings Corp in exchange for $100,000 in cash, and expended $96,487 on computers and equipment versus the $46,022 expended in the year ended December 31, 2016 for leasehold improvements.

Financing activities provided $2,615,000 for the year ended December 31, 20157 as compared to $425,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016. Financing consisted of $2,135,000 from the sale of common shares, a $200,000 loan from a related party, member contribution of $190,000 and proceeds from convertible debentures of $90,000.

Convertible Debt

We have issued a number of convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amounts of $90,000 and $ -0- during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These debentures are convertible at the greater of (a) 80% of the market price on the date of conversion or $2.00 per share, and are more fully described in the footnotes to our audited financial statements.

On September 7, 2017, we borrowed $20,000 under the terms of a convertible promissory note.

On September 13, 2017, we borrowed $20,000 under the terms of a convertible promissory note.

On September 19, 2017, we borrowed $40,000 under the terms of a convertible promissory note.

On September 22, 2017, we borrowed $10,000 under the terms of a convertible promissory note.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principle, which contemplate continuation of our Company as a going concern. While the Company had limited revenues and continuing losses from operations as of December 31, 2017, we currently have a cash balance of approximately $1,300,000 which is more than adequate for operations in the next twelve months. We are currently in the planning and development phase of establishing our production facility with the goal of creating long term revenue generation within the next two years.

As our business develops, management anticipates that we will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund growth and operating expenses. The Company is continuing its efforts to raise additional funds through the capital markets.

Critical Accounting Policies

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We do not believe that any accounting policies currently fit this definition.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires 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 company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2017 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard and it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Share-Based Compensation: Modification Accounting.

In May 2017, the FASB issued an update to clarify when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. This authoritative guidance will be applied prospectively to awards modified following adoption and will be effective for 4M Carbon Fiber in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 with early adoption permitted. The impact of the adoption of this guidance will depend on whether the Company has any share-based payment awards or makes any future modifications of share-based payment awards.

Retirement Benefits.

In March 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which requires companies to present the service cost component of net benefit cost in the same line items in which they report compensation cost. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. The authoritative guidance will be effective for 4M Carbon Fiber in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 on a retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is only expected to result in reclassification of other components of net benefit costs outside of income from operations and is not expected to have a significant impact on Alkame’s consolidated financial statements as the Company does not have such a plan at this time.

Business Combinations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that clarifies the definition of a business to help companies evaluate whether acquisition or disposal transactions should be accounted for as asset groups or as businesses. The authoritative guidance will be effective for 4M Carbon Fiber in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The impact of the adoption depends on the facts and circumstances of future acquisition or disposal transactions.

Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Asset Transfers.

In October 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires entities to recognize at the transaction date the income tax consequences of intercompany asset transfers other than inventory. The authoritative guidance will be effective for 4M Carbon Fiber in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, with early adoption permitted. Alkame is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on 4M Carbon Fiber’s consolidated financial statements.

Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.

In August 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which addresses classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments related to the statement of cash flows. The authoritative guidance will be effective for 4M Carbon Fiber in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on 4M Carbon Fiber’s consolidated financial statements.

Share-Based Compensation.

In March 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. 4M Carbon Fiber plans to adopt the authoritative guidance effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Upon adoption, 4M Carbon Fiber will elect to continue to estimate forfeitures expected to occur to determine the amount of compensation cost to be recognized in each period. The new standard will result in the recognition of excess tax benefits in provision for income taxes rather than paid-in capital prospectively, which is expected to increase volatility in 4M Carbon Fiber’s results of operations. 4M Carbon Fiber will elect to apply the presentation requirements for cash flows related to excess tax benefits retrospectively. The presentation requirements for cash flows related to employee taxes paid for withheld shares will be presented as a financing activity retrospectively, as required. 4M Carbon Fiber expects cash flow from operations to increase, with a corresponding decrease in cash flow from financing activity as a result of the changes in the cash flow presentation.

Leases.

In February 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for lease accounting, which requires lessees to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for certain lease arrangements that are classified as operating leases under the previous standard, and to provide for enhanced disclosures. The authoritative guidance will be effective for 4M Carbon Fiber in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and should see 4M Carbon Fiber using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. 4M Carbon Fiber is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on 4M Carbon Fiber’s consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement.

In January 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires equity investments that do not result in consolidation, and are not accounted for under the equity method, to be measured at fair value, and requires recognition of any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for a new practicability exception. For financial liabilities measured at fair value, the change in fair value caused by a change in instrument-specific credit risk will be required to be presented separately in other comprehensive income. The authoritative guidance will be effective for 4M Carbon Fiber in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Early adoption is permitted only for the provisions related to the recognition of changes in fair value of financial liabilities caused by instrument-specific credit risk4M Carbon Fiber is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on 4M Carbon Fiber’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company 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.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2017, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Inflation

The effect of inflation on the Company's revenue and operating results was not significant.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of 4M Carbon Fiber Corp. and Subsidiary

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of 4M Carbon Fiber Corp. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity 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 December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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 audits. 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 audits 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. Our audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

4M Carbon Fiber Corp. and Subsidiary

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016

Organization and Nature of Operations

The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware, on January 21, 2009 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CornerWorld Corporation (“CWC”), a Nevada corporation publicly traded on the OTCQB exchange.

The Company was setup as a holding company for three telecommunications services subsidiaries. It recently disposed of these operations when it simultaneously entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated March 31, 2017 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), with 4M Industrial Oxidation, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (“4MIO”), pursuant to which 4MIO purchased from the Selling Stockholders an aggregate of 3,664,641 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, representing approximately 78.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. The foregoing sale of Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders to 4MIO resulted in a change in control of the Company.

Subsequently, on April 6, 2017, Woodland acquired one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding membership interests of 4MIO which became a wholly-owned subsidiary. The acquisition had an effective date of April 1, 2017.

In early 2018, Woodland changed its name to 4M Carbon Fiber Corp (“4M”) and while fully reporting to the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), expects to complete the process whereby it can begin trading on a public stock exchange in late 2018.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a) Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

b) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of 4M carbon Fiber Corp. (parent) and 4M Industrial Oxidation, LLC., our wholly owned subsidiary which has common ownership and management. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

c) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

d) Cash and Cash Equivalents / Concentration of Credit Risk

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes demand deposits, saving accounts and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Cash is maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. We have never experienced any losses related to these balances. Certain of our non-interest-bearing cash balances were at December 31, 2017 in excess of the federally insured limits. The Company is working with the banks to distribute the excess balances in such a way that no account balances will be in excess of federally insured limits.

F-6

e) Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

f) Financial Instruments

Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and amounts due to related parties. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of our cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

g) Income Taxes

Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes” as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in this financial statement because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

h) Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC-605, “Revenue Recognition,” which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or title has passed; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts.

Revenues are recognized upon shipment, provided that a signed purchase order has been received, the price is fixed, title has transferred, collection of resulting receivables is reasonably assured, and there are no remaining significant obligations. Reserves for sales returns and allowances, including allowances for so called “ship and debit” transactions, are recorded at the time of shipment, based on historical levels of returns and discounts, current economic trends and changes in customer demand. Certain transactions that are prepaid at time of order, are recognized at the time the merchandise ships from the facility to the customer.

Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company will defer any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.

F-7

i) Accounts receivable and concentration of credit risk

Because the Company currently produces to order on a limited test basis, there is typically a prepayment required, with the balance due within 30 days of delivery. The Company looks closely at the credit worthiness of its customers and determines the exposure it is willing to accept. Go forward, long-term contracts will be negotiated and may lead to a concentration of credit risk due to the nature of those agreements, however, currently our sales are limited and to diverse, top rated firms that are evaluating the efficacy of our product. Our concentration risk will be reevaluated on a quarterly basis.

j) Allowance for doubtful accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. The Company regularly reviews the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts through identification of specific receivables where it is expected that payments will not be received. The Company also establishes an unallocated reserve that is applied to all amounts that are not specifically identified. In determining specific receivables where collections may not have been received, the Company reviews past due receivables and gives consideration to prior collection history and changes in the customer’s overall business condition. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate as of the reporting dates.

At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had an allowance for bad debts in the amount of $-0- and $-0- respectively.

k) Related Party Transactions

The Company considers all officers, directors, senior management personnel, and senior level consultants to be related parties to the Company.

l) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires 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 company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2017 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard and it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Share-Based Compensation: Modification Accounting. In May 2017, the FASB issued an update to clarify when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. This authoritative guidance will be applied prospectively to awards modified following adoption and will be effective for 4M Carbon Fiber in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 with early adoption permitted. The impact of the adoption of this guidance will depend on whether the Company has any share-based payment awards or makes any future modifications of share-based payment awards.

Retirement Benefits. In March 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which requires companies to present the service cost component of net benefit cost in the same line items in which they report compensation cost. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. The authoritative guidance will be effective for 4M Carbon Fiber in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 on a retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is only expected to result in reclassification of other components of net benefit costs outside of income from operations and is not expected to have a significant impact on Alkame’s consolidated financial statements as the Company does not have such a plan at this time.

Business Combinations. In January 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that clarifies the definition of a business to help companies evaluate whether acquisition or disposal transactions should be accounted for as asset groups or as businesses. The authoritative guidance will be effective for 4M Carbon Fiber in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The impact of the adoption depends on the facts and circumstances of future acquisition or disposal transactions.

Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Asset Transfers. In October 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires entities to recognize at the transaction date the income tax consequences of intercompany asset transfers other than inventory. The authoritative guidance will be effective for 4M Carbon Fiber in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, with early adoption permitted. Alkame is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on 4M Carbon Fiber’s consolidated financial statements.

Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. In August 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which addresses classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments related to the statement of cash flows. The authoritative guidance will be effective for 4M Carbon Fiber in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on 4M Carbon Fiber’s consolidated financial statements.

Share-Based Compensation. In March 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows.

F-8

4M Carbon Fiber plans to adopt the authoritative guidance effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Upon adoption, 4M Carbon Fiber will elect to continue to estimate forfeitures expected to occur to determine the amount of compensation cost to be recognized in each period. The new standard will result in the recognition of excess tax benefits in provision for income taxes rather than paid-in capital prospectively, which is expected to increase volatility in 4M Carbon Fiber’s results of operations. 4M Carbon Fiber will elect to apply the presentation requirements for cash flows related to excess tax benefits retrospectively. The presentation requirements for cash flows related to employee taxes paid for withheld shares will be presented as a financing activity retrospectively, as required. 4M Carbon Fiber expects cash flow from operations to increase, with a corresponding decrease in cash flow from financing activity as a result of the changes in the cash flow presentation.

Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for lease accounting, which requires lessees to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for certain lease arrangements that are classified as operating leases under the previous standard, and to provide for enhanced disclosures. The authoritative guidance will be effective for 4M Carbon Fiber in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and should see 4M Carbon Fiber using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. 4M Carbon Fiber is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on 4M Carbon Fiber’s consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement. In January 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires equity investments that do not result in consolidation, and are not accounted for under the equity method, to be measured at fair value, and requires recognition of any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for a new practicability exception. For financial liabilities measured at fair value, the change in fair value caused by a change in instrument-specific credit risk will be required to be presented separately in other comprehensive income. The authoritative guidance will be effective for 4M Carbon Fiber in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Early adoption is permitted only for the provisions related to the recognition of changes in fair value of financial liabilities caused by instrument-specific credit risk4M Carbon Fiber is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on 4M Carbon Fiber’s consolidated financial statements.

m) Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, and consist of finished goods produced in accordance with Company specifications, work-in-process as such may exist from time to time at various supplier locations that may work with Company supplied goods and materials, and raw materials that are purchased in connection with upcoming production of goods.

n) Derivative Liabilities

The Company assessed the classification of its derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2017, which consist of convertible instruments and rights to shares of the Company’s common stock, and determined that such derivatives meet the criteria for liability classification under ASC 815.

ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as described.

o) Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with professional standards for “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.

Professional standards generally provide three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of “Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument”.

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards when “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features,” as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.

ASC 815-40 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’s control could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.

F-9

p) Long Lived Assets

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires those long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

q) Advertising

Advertising is expensed as incurred and is included in selling costs on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Advertising and marketing expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was approximately $7,684 and $2,850, respectively.

r) Shipping costs

Shipping costs are included in cost of goods sold and totaled approximately $-0- and $-0- for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

F-10

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements consisted of the following items as of December 31, 2017:

As of December 31, 2017, the Company has no measurable derivative liabilities connected with debt or warrants.

Prepaid Assets

In January 2016, the Company reclassified a Note Receivable of $150,000 due from RMX to Prepaid Licensing Fees. This reclassification reflects a portion of the expected royalties that are to be paid to RMX and ORNL once the Plasma Oxidation ovens equipped with the technology begin to ship.

Related Party Transactions

Prior to the reverse merger of 4MIO with Woodland Holdings Corp. on April 6, 2017, approximately 95% of outstanding membership interests of 4MIO were owned by Remaxco Technologies, Inc. (“RMX”). As a result, there are certain transactions between the companies which are disclosed below as well as other places in these footnotes.

As of December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, $84,506 and $107,069, respectively of the Company’s accounts payable are owed to two formerly related parties.

On August 1, 2015, 4M Industrial Oxidation, LLC entered into a 2-year commercial sub-lease with Remaxco Technologies, LLC. (a related party) with 5 one-year extensions.
