Overview of the Business



Since April 27, 2021, the Company has completely changed its business model following the acquisition of intellectual property assets related to a novel membrane-based ion extraction process ("Membrane Technology") The Membrane Technology enables the extraction of ions existing in low concentrations from liquid solutions. The Membrane Technology is now being used in Laboratory pilot testing and it is anticipated will result in the production of the Company's first commercial prototypes using the novel extraction method. Our Membrane Technology allows for the removal of ions from solution in a continuous process without either preliminary concentration by evaporation, or the use of pressure or additional heating. This renders the process inherently more efficient and significantly preserves water resources and reduces energy costs. During the extraction process, the Membrane Technology targets specific ions for extraction, bringing them off in succession. This process we believe is unique and reduces the need for further operations to concentrate and purify the target materials while providing alternative potentially lucrative revenue sources from the sale of other ions in the solution. The Company expects that the reduced interference with the environment, the lower energy costs and the lack of a need for large evaporation ponds, will make its technology potentially very attractive to companies dealing with the environmental difficulties resulting from current deployed extraction options. We consider the Membrane Technology to be environmentally friendly and sustainable when compared to alternatives.

The Company has targeted the following applications for the deployment of its Membrane Technology: (i) the extraction of lithium from brine solutions or mine leach solutions; (ii) the extraction of fatty acids from vegetable oils and the extraction of glycerols from biodiesel, both being a superior purification and refining process to existing methods; (iii) the extraction of radioactive ions from nuclear waste waters in particular for environmental protection and cleanup; (iv) the extraction of specific metal ions from mine leach solutions and waste effluents; and (v) the removal of ions from seawater providing a more efficient and scalable desalination process. Other extraction possibilities will be targeted in the longer term.

During the first nine months of 2022, the Company has focused efforts on the extraction of targeted components from various brine solutions containing lithium. These sample brines contain a variety of different ions that make the extraction of the lithium difficult; certain ions, such as magnesium, should be removed first to enable the process to be deployed commercially. During the 2nd Quarter, the Membrane Technology demonstrated its ability to remove the specific ion components of the brines tested in a manner that can be used to design a continuous process. The continuing path of the development will be to design and build both scaled up laboratory and commercial pilots that will enable the testing of commercial quantities of material to identify the efficiency cost of the deployment of the process as well as eventual test deployment in the field.

During the remainder of 2022, it is expected that the primary focus of management will be the continued development and configuration of the most efficient commercial pilot plant for lithium extraction; the organization and the hiring of targeted expertise; the protection of the Company's intellectual property assets; and the organization of the Company's business with the creation of an initial manufacturing facility. Success in the lithium deployment will be followed by the expansion of the process to target the extraction of radioactive ions from nuclear waste waters, the refining of vegetable oils by the removal of fatty acids; and the removal of glycerols for purification of biodiesel.





Impact of Events in Ukraine

The Business of the Company and its fundamental research are conducted in the United States, however, the Company maintained offices in Ukraine and was implementing programs with certain Ukrainian partners to test the Membrane Technology as a means of extracting certain radioactive contaminants such as might be found after a nuclear disaster or as a byproduct of the operations of a nuclear reactor. Plans for testing the use of the Membrane Technology to refine sunflower oil were also projected with raw oil producers in Ukraine. As a result of the current conflict in Ukraine these programs have been suspended and the Company is now focusing on the extraction of lithium from brines in North and South America. It is not certain if or when the Company may be able to recommence its work in Ukraine with the reopening of its offices and the recommencement of work there, however, the Company is committed to the support of Ukraine and its people and it follows that the Company will return to Ukraine as soon as the political situation allows.

Results of Operations


The following table summarizes the results of our operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively:





                                               Nine months Ended
                                                 September 30,

Revenues                                  $          -     $        -     $       -
Operating expenses                           1,200,269        917,457       282,812
Other expense / income                         (43,596 )       (4,698 )      38,898
Net Profit (loss)                           (1,243,865 )     (912,759 )     331,106

Profit (Loss) per share of common stock (0.04 ) (0.05 ) (0.01 )

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was derived primarily from operating expenses.

On April 27, 2021, during the second quarter of 2021, the Company radically changed its business making a comparison between the first nine months of 2021 and the same period in 2022 unedifying. During 2021 and up until April 27, 2021 the business of the Company was the provision of management services and revenues were derived from assisting companies, notably to open accounts and prepare for listing in the United States. Revenues were small and the business model ultimately unsustainable. The first quarter of 2021 the Company recorded a small loss of $16,650, however, more importantly the Company showed no promising business prospects.





Since the radical changes in the business occurred towards the beginning of the
second quarter, the following table is included to summarize the results of our
operations during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021,
respectively:



                                             Three Months Ended
                                                September 30,

Net profit (loss)                           (401,450 )     (433,495 )     (32,045 )

Profit (Loss) per share of common stock (0.01 ) (0.02 ) (0.01 )

The period of the second quarter covering April 1st until September 30, 2021 was characterized by an initial period before April 27th where the company was preparing itself for a complete change of control and a transformation of its business. The former sole director and officer forgave $150,560 of debt and various reconciliations were made to ensure that the Company could be transferred to the new owners without significant outstanding liabilities. Following the change of control, new funds were invested in the Company to finance operations. A total of $325,000 was received against the issuance of six 1-year convertible notes paying 8% interest. These notes were all converted into equity in the same period 2022.

The funding was used to finance operations and the costs relating to the acquisition of the Membrane Technology, including fees to lawyers and accountants as well as to the transfer agent and to other consultants. Importantly, the Company's laboratory was opened and intellectual property lawyers were retained to identify, consolidate and protect the Company's principal asset. Salary payments were increased over the same period of 2021 due to the need to employ the principal scientist responsible for the Company's new technology as well as other officers and employees.

The acquisition resulted in much higher expenses when compared to the same period of 2021, given the start-up nature of the business following the change of business and control, there were no revenues nor prospect of any revenues until such time as the technology is ready for market.

The nature of the new business managed by the Company in 2022 and in particular its cycle of return and potential upside when compared to that prior to April 27, 2021 is fundamentally different. Consulting services are usually paid at a fixed rate (sometimes on commission) and payment is mostly rapid. The cycle of the business of a startup new technology company is longer and less certain, however, it potentially may offer better long-term gains.

During the first nine months of 2022, the Company has continued to develop the method and potential of its technology as well as completing its move away from the Ukrainian market and a shift to focus on the extraction of lithium rather than generally concentrating on extraction techniques for a range of different options. The Company has made advances in its ability to remove certain series of materials that are commonly found in with lithium in solution and that present fundamental difficulties to the continuous extraction of lithium. These advances have been made in laboratory pilot and are now ready for inclusion in a commercial pilot system that will define the market introduction of the system. The new business and the change in focus of the Company has resulted in a significant increase in the expenses of the Company when compared to the same period of 2021.

Adding to these increased costs, during the third quarter of 2022, the Company began directly exploring market possibilities for its system with lithium producers operating in both South and North America resulting in further increases in costs over the previous period. These initial contacts are ongoing discussions with regards to the possibility of commercial testing of the system once continuous direct lithium extraction is demonstrated in the commercial pilot plant.

The associated costs resulting from the development of the Company's technology following the change in the business undertaken in late April 2021 necessitated the raising of additional funding that was done through the issue of successive convertible debt financing paying 8% interest annually in arrears. Interest expenses further increased the operating expense when compared with the same period for 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, we had total current assets of $2,994 and $12,029, respectively and an accumulated deficit of $3,192,798.

Our operating activities used $488,865 in cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, while our operations used $502,429 cash in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. We had no revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company received net cash flows from financing activities of $480,107.

Our cash requirements are primarily for the continued development of the commercial pilot plant with the purchase of equipment and materials as well as the operating expenses for the development of pilot plant systems and its demonstration to potential customers, as well as our payroll expense. During the next 6 months, it is planned that the Company open new corporate offices and commence the organization of its initial production facility.

Management believes that the Company's cash on hand will not be sufficient to fund all Company obligations and commitments for the next twelve months. The Company has reached the stage in its development when it requires significant additional finance to be able to bring the first of its extraction processes to a marketable form. Management estimates that the minimum finance necessary to be able to achieve this is $1.5 million. The Company has already signed a non-binding term sheet that will, when implemented, provide the $1.5 million.

In addition, the Company has received a firm pledge of an additional $400,000 in the form of a long-term loan with a low interest rate. It is anticipated that this loan will be concluded as soon as the Company receives binding commitments that will enable it to meet its minimum funding target. Historically, we have depended on loans from our principal shareholders and their affiliated companies to provide us with working capital as required and this has continued through the 3rd Quarter of 2022. There is no guarantee that such funding will be available when required and there can be no assurance that our stockholders, or any of them, will continue making loans or advances to us in the future.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.

Seasonality



Our operating results are not affected by seasonality.





Inflation


The Company has relied on funding from debt (both convertible to equity and non-convertible) as its primary source of funding. In the event of a high inflationary environment, this method of funding may become more expensive and may be less readily available.

Our core business and operating results are not anticipated to be affected in any material way by inflation, however, world economies are moving into increasing uncertainty regarding the pricing of commodities and other raw materials. Due in a large part to increasing political uncertainties, the effects of war and the increasing use of embargo underlined by the deepening crisis in relations opposing the United States and its traditional allies and economic partners with the former communist countries of Russia and China and their allies and partners, we can expect greater uncertainty with potentially raw material price increases that may not be uniform. It is probably that certain goods will increase considerably more than others creating product pricing distortion with some items increasing at a greater rate than others. Some of these distorted increases may be items required for the Company's extraction systems thus creating an increase that cannot be covered by general inflation and market adjustment, leading to possible decreases in anticipated results or a reduction in competitivity. Higher levels of inflation may also dampen demand in some cases leading to lower than anticipated results. The Company is aware of these possibilities and believes that, due to the nature and market for its system, inflationary pressures of this kind are manageable, that alternative supply sources and greater self-sufficiency can be arranged, however there is no guarantee that any measures taken can offset the effects of possible disruption to markets or that funding will be available to weather these difficulties. It is unclear, therefore, if as instability deepens to what extent the Company will be affected in a material way by excessive inflation of the kind now generally anticipated.





Critical Accounting Policies


Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the financial statements. The estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management. Certain accounting policies that require significant management estimates and are deemed critical to our results of operations or financial position. Our critical accounting estimates are more fully discussed in Note 2 to our unaudited financial statements contained herein.
