Nano Neutralization® SystemCovid-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has been showncontinued to reducespread, has adversely affected workforces, customers, economies, and financial markets globally. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for the Company’s products, and harm the Company’s business and results of operations. During the year ended June 30, 2020, the Company believes the COVID-19 pandemic did not materially impact its operating costsresults due to the nature of the Company’s business and increase yieldsits operations. The Company has not observed any impairments of its assets or a significant change in refining vegetable oils.the fair value of its assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At this time, it is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

Vegetable Oil Refining

 

Our first commercial application for our technology has been theCTi Nano Neutralization® Systemwhich has been utilized to improve edible vegetable oil refining process. Our environmentally friendly process has been shown to reduce refining costs, increase oil yield, and limit the amount of chemical additives used in chemical refining of vegetables oils. This patented process (US Patent # 7,762,715 and # 8,042,989) is designed to be incorporated into new and existing soybean, rapeseed, canola and palm vegetable oil refineries.

 

Our first pilot test of ourCTi NANO NeutralizationNeutralization® System was conducted in 2010 at Carolina Soya, a 200-metric ton/day crude soy oil refining plant in Estill, South Carolina. Our second system, which became operational in fiscal 2011, has been continuously utilized since 2011 at the plant that processes approximately 450 metric tons per day of soy oil. Further, we have successfully shipped over 3050 systems both domestically and abroad.internationally. We also continuously focus on developing additional Nano Reactor® applications and managing the intellectual property issues associated with new processes and applications.

 

The global consumption of vegetable oils has grown consistently at a rate of about 5.5%5.3% p.a. from 84.590.5 million metric tons in 19992001 to over 182approximately 204 million metric tons in 2016-20172019-2020, (https://www.statista.com/statistics/263937/vegetable-oils-global-consumption/). It is also a highly competitive commodity market in which the lowest-cost producer has the advantage.

 

Desmet Ballestra Agreement

 

On May 14, 2012 we signed a three-year globalR and D,&D, Marketing and Technology License Agreementwith Desmet Ballestra Group s.a. (Desmet), a Belgian company that is actively marketing theNANO NeutralizationNeutralization® System, the key component of which is our Nano Reactor® to soybean and other vegetable oil refiners. The Agreement provided Desmet (licensee) a limited, exclusive license and right to develop, design and supply ourNANO NeutralizationNeutralization® System which incorporates Nano Reactor® devices on a global basis tools and fats and oleo chemical applications Desmet provided, under certain conditions, limited monthly advance payments of $125,000 against future sales to us through May 2015.

We andAlong with Desmet, we have workedbeen working together to determine theaccelerate appropriate sales approachgoals and installation process. Our CTi Nano Neutralization SystemNeutralization® Systems is designed to be used as an add-on process to an existing neutralization system within soybean and other vegetable oil refineries. Desmet’s recent focus has been on marketingour CTi’sCTi Nano Neutralization® Systems System to vegetable oil refiners to help them increase profits through cost savings and improved oil yields. Desmet purchases our CTi Nano Neutralization ReactorNeutralization® Systems from us and installs them at the refinery as part of an integrated neutralization system. Based on successful commercial implementations, Desmet guarantees minimum economic benefits to a facility that installs ourCTi Nano Neutralization® Systems. We are therefore substantially dependent on Desmet to identify prospects, complete sales contracts, install the system and manage relationships with end-users.

Additionally, in fiscal 2017 Desmet installed our first Nano Reactor at a bio-diesel production plant in South America. Bio-diesel industry has been under pricing pressure for a considerable period of time and slow to adopt to newer technologies. We are continuously working with Desmet pursuing additional sales opportunities in Asia and South America, however, the acceptance of our technology has been slow and there were no sales generated in our Fiscal 2020.

Alchemy Beverages, Inc

 

In fiscal 2014, Roman Gordon, one of our shareholders and a former officer, formed a company, Cameo USA LLC (Cameo). Since its formation, Cameo has had no revenue, no operations, and has had no assets or liabilities. On June 4, 2018, Mr. Gordon contributed his 100% interest in Cameo to our company.Cavitation Technologies, Inc. As Mr. Gordon had no basis in the valuation of his investment in Cameo, there was no value assigned to the contribution of Cameo.

 

On June 29, 2018, we agreed to selllicense Cameo to Alchemy Beverages Inc. (ABI)(“ABI”). In addition, we entered into twohave agreed to provide certain licensing agreements with ABI.rights related to our miniature low pressure nano-reactor (MLPN) to be used in developing and manufacturing of small home appliances to enhance alcoholic beverages. In consideration for the sale of Cameo and for entering into the licensing agreements,these ABI has agreed to issue 19.9% of ABI’s outstanding common shares to us (limited to 20 million shares of ABI). ABI is a private company and in the business of producing and selling alcoholic beverages, equipment, and home appliances. Prior to this agreement, ABI was independent of CTI and had no relation to us nor to our management. ABI purchased Cameo for the right to use its name in marketing a vodka spirit.

 

Pursuant to the licensing agreements, ABI will have the exclusive global marketing and distribution rights forof Cameo and our patented and patent pending technologytechnologies for the processing of alcoholic beverages. We have agreed to assist in the installation and maintenance of the nano reactor systems forMLPN to ABI and will receive royalty payments ranging from 1% to 3% on all net revenues, as defined of ABIin our license agreement for the life of the applicable patents. In addition, we will receive leasing, consulting, and manufacturing fees as defined in the licensing agreement. In addition, on a future transaction involving the sale of ABI, we will receive approximately 10% of the transaction price (with a minimum of $5 million) and in the event ABI becomes a public entity, we will receive approximately 10% of ABI’s shares.

 

We anticipateTo date, ABI hasn’t generated any sales under Cameo brand. Over the last 18 months, our company and ABI have developed a small table top home appliance unit Barmuze® utilizing MLPN , allowing consumers to start recognizing revenue fromexperience a new way of enjoying wines and spirits, utilizing CTi’s patented and patent pending technologies to molecularly restructure alcohol, convert harsh acids to pleasant tasting esters, and reduce levels of certain impurities commonly present in alcohol..

On February 26, 2019 we have filed an application with U.S. Patent office, U.S. Patent Application No. 16/286,309  “SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PURIFICATION OF DRINKING WATER, ETHANOL AND ALCOHOL BEVERAGES OF IMPURITIES” and on October 24, 2018, U.S. Patent Application No. 16/169,644 “METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING OF HIGH QUALITY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES”. During fiscal 2020, we have received approval for numerous claims in both applications, protecting our technology and processing rights, meanwhile expanding our broad portfolio of patents.

As of June 30, 2020 and the date of this report, there were no sales or royalties generated pertaining to our agreement with Alchemy Beverages, Inc. The investment in ABI transaction in fiscal 2019, although there can behas no assurance that we will recognize any revenue from ABI.

Customers Dependence

 

We continue to sell our CTi industrial capacity Nano Reactor® and Nano Reactor® Systems and technology only to two licensees,Neutralization® System through our strategic partners Desmet and GEA and they are responsible for installing and servicing the systems. Almost allmost of our revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 and 20172020, was derived from Desmet and GEA.

We have generated certain revenue pertaining to our licensing agreement with EW, however, in the second half of our fiscal 2020 we had no sales of productsLPN due to Desmet.COVID-19 that has significantly impacted oil production in US. Meanwhile, we are starting to see oil and gas industry early stage recovery and foresee a great opportunity for our technology providing a significant upside potential both at the point of sale and recurring revenue stream.

 

Sources and availability of raw materials and the names of principal suppliers

 

We have historically sourced reactor components from various domestic and international suppliers. We do not have any long-term contracts, agreements, or commitments with any supplier. We believe it would take approximately 30 days to find a new supplier, if necessary.

Competition

 

Our competitors who sell equipment and engineering services for the vegetable oil refining business are a myriad of companies both large and small that provide equipment and technology to oil refiners. These include known companies that have longer operating histories, more experience, and stronger financial capabilities. Competitors include Alfa Laval, and Crown Iron Works as well as many firms that provide advice and services to small and regional firms. In addition, Arisdyne Systems, a designer of cavitation devices, is marketing a system using similar technology. The vegetable oil refining business is a highly competitive commodity market in which the lowest-cost producer has the advantage. We intend to compete by offering solutions that help our clients remain or become a low-cost producer. Because the industry in which we compete has had limited new technology introduced in the last 50 years, we believe ourCTi Nano Neutralization® Systems provide a unique opportunity for refiners to increase margins. We seek to differentiate ourselves by offering solutions based on our proprietary and patented designs, processes, and applications to help our clients described in our issued and patent pending applications. We compete by offering solutions that we believe can reduce operating expenses and increase oil yield vs currently applied technologies.

In addition, our competitors in produced and frac water treatment application range from local service providers to multi-national global corporations with considerable financial resources, engineering expertise, established and proven technologies. We believe that LPN™ is a conceptually new technology that has not been introduced in the field of water treatment applications up to now. LPN™ has demonstrated exceptional results in treating produced and frac water commercially, significantly reducing the usage of hazards chemicals during the process, meanwhile, achieving desirable water quality for industrial re-use or disposal.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

The Company may be involved in certain legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. Except for income tax contingencies, (commencing April 1, 2009), the Company records accruals for contingencies to the extent that management concludes that the occurrence is probable and that the related amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred.

 

In August 2014, a former employee and former Director (Plaintiff) filed an administrative Complaint for approximately $179,000 in unpaid wages, plus penalties and interest, with the California Labor Commissioner’s Office (CLCO).  In January 2016, the CLCO ruled in favorThe Company is not aware of the Company and dismissed the case. As a result of this ruling, the Company’s obligation to the Plaintiff only amounted to approximately $134,000 which was already accrued in prior periods and included as part of Accrued Payroll and payroll taxes due to officers in the accompanying balance sheet.any pending litigation.

In February 2016, the Plaintiff appealed this ruling to the Los Angeles County Superior Court.  In addition to defending itself, the Company also has filed a cross-complaint against the Plaintiff for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty as a Director. In August 2017, the Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the trial court’s ruling granting the Company’s anti-SLAPP motion. The Court of Appeal has dismissed Plaintiff’s appeal for failing to timely to designate the record on appeal.

In March 2018, the Company has reached a settlement agreement with the Plaintiff, resulting in removal of all claims by both parties. As a result of this settlement, the Company has recorded a gain of $101,000 to extinguish accrued salary.

Overview of Our Business

 

We are a Nevada corporation originally incorporated under the name Bio Energy, Inc. On January 29, 2007, we incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Hydrodynamic Technology, Inc. as a California corporation.

 

We have developed, patented, and commercialized proprietary technology that can be used for processing of various industrial and consumer-oriented fluids. Our patentedNano Reactor®is the critical components ofthe CTi Nano Neutralization® System which has been shown to reduce operating costs and increase yields in processing oils and fats. CTi holds and applied for numerous patents covering technology and various processes in US and Internationally, covering vegetable and crude oil refining, wasteprocessed and frac water treatment, algae oil extraction, and alcoholic beverage enhancement. During our Fiscal 2018,2020, we have developed additional technologies and products, such as, LPN (lowlow pressure nano reactor and system)(LPN™). LPN is designed to become a highly efficient mixer and homogenizer. We believe that LPN has a great commercial utilization opportunity by providing efficient and cost-effective solution in multiple fluid processing industries. LPN has a number of advantages over current mechanically operated mixers and homogenizers. Industrial application of our technology in produced and frac water treatment system, LPN along with our proprietary chemical formulations have depicted measurable and quantifiable advantages over industry standard processes and equipment. Additionally, our miniature low pressure nano reactor MLPN has become an integral part of Barmuze®, a small home appliance device for enhancing taste and extracting unwanted impurities typically present in alcoholic beverages.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2018,2020, we recorded revenuerevenues of $1,303,000. Our loss from operations for the year ended June 30, 2018 was $351,000.$1,663,000 and net income of $128,000, respectively.

 

Management’s Plan of Operation

 

At June 30, 2018 weWe are continuously engaged in manufacturing of our Nano Reactor® andNano NeutralizationNeutralization® Systemswhich are designed to help refine vegetable oils such as soybean, canola and rapeseed. Additionally, our near-term goal is to develop strategic and marketing tools to apply our technologieswe have developed LPN’s that can be commercially acceptedprovide commercial opportunity in enhancement of wines and spirits, industrial water treatment, enhancement of alcoholic beverages, and MLPN being utilized in a consumer related products.small home appliance.

 

WeDuring the year ended June 30, 2020, we recognized net income of $128,000 and generated net cash from operations of $56,000. However, as of June 30, 2020, we have a working capital deficiency of $645,000$522,000 and a stockholders’ deficit of $545,000 as of June 30, 2018. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.$490,000.

Management’s plan is to generate income from operations by licensing our technology globally through our licensees, Desmet Ballestra Group (Desmet), agreements with EnviroWaterTek and GEA Westfalia Group (GEA).Alchemy Beverages, Inc. In January 2016,October 2018, we signed a three-year globalR and D, Marketing and Technology License Agreementwith Desmet for the sale and licensing of our reactors. TheNano Reactor® and Nano Neutralization® Systems. This agreement originally expiredis a continuation of the original agreement we signed with Desmet in August 2018 but was extended up to October 2018.May 2012. As part of the agreement, Desmet wasis also obligated to provide us with monthly advances of $50,000 to be applied against future sales.our share in gross profit from the sale of reactors. During the year ended June 30, 2018,2020, advances received and applied to sales from Desmet amounted to $700,000.$600,000, of which $266,000 was recorded as revenues. These funds service operational expenses on a monthly basis. The Company is currently in negotiations with Desmet for a new licensing agreement.

 

In January 2017, we signed a three-year global R&D, Marketing and Technology License Agreement with GEA Group, (GEA) covering certain processes and patented applications. This agreement providesprovided us with $25,000 monthly advances to be applied against future sales.license fees or our share in gross profit from the sale of reactors. The agreement with GEA expired in December 2019, and during the term of the agreement, the Company did not sell any reactors to GEA. Accordingly, for the year ending June 30, 2020, the Company recognized $877,000 of non-refundable payments received in 2017 to 2019 as revenue.

In April 2019, the Company entered into a licensing and service contract agreement with Enviro Watertek, LLC (“EW”). This agreement maycovers the Company’s industrial treatment process for produced and frack water. The Company’s Low Pressure Nano Reactor (LPN), was specifically developed to be integrated into frack water treatment system along with proprietary chemical formulations, and has depicted measurable and quantifiable advantages over industry standard processes and equipment. The agreement with EW provides for sales on Nano Reactors® plus recurring revenue stream based on processing frack water volumes and utilization or usage fees. Our agreement with EW is for a period of 15 years but can be terminated by either party on each anniversary date. As ofevery anniversary. During the year ended June 30, 2018,2020, we received advancesrecorded revenues of $38,000 from GEA in the amountsale of $427,000 under this agreement.

reactors and usage fees.

 

In June 2018, we agreed to license Cameo USA LLC, to Alchemy Beverages Inc. (“ABI”). In addition, we have agreed to provide certain licensing rights related to our miniature low pressure nano-reactor (MLPN) to be used in developing and manufacturing of small home appliances to enhance alcoholic beverages. In consideration for these advances, weABI has agreed to issue 19.9% of ABI’s outstanding common shares to us (limited to 20 million shares of ABI). ABI is a private company and in the business of producing and selling alcoholic beverages, equipment, and home appliances. Since the start of the agreement up to June 30, 2020, there was no revenue recognized with regards to our agreement with Alchemy Beverages, Inc.

We anticipate that we may need additional funding, and we may attempt to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to fund operations and to provide additional working capital. However, there is no assurance that such financing will be consummated or obtained in sufficient amounts necessary to meet our needs, or that we will be able to meet our future contractual obligations. Should management fail to obtain such financing, we may curtail its operations. Management estimates that cash on hand together with advances from Desmet and GEA will allow us to operate beyond fiscal 2019.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from our inability to continue as a going concern. As a result of the aforementioned factors, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2018, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Revenue Recognition

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. The accounting policies and estimates described below are those we consider most critical in preparing its consolidated financial statements. The following is a review of the accounting policies and estimates that include significant judgments made by management using information available at the time the estimates are made. However, these estimates could change materially if different information or assumptions were used instead.

Note 1 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements includes a summary of significant accounting policies, estimates, and methods used in the preparation of our financial statements. Accounting estimates are an integral part of the preparation of financial statements and are based on judgments by management using its knowledge and experience about the past and current events and assumptions regarding future events, all of which we consider to be reasonable. These judgments and estimates reflect the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain and that affect the carrying value of our assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Revenue Recognition

 

Through June 30, 2017, revenue fromThe Company follows the saleguidance of ourNano Reactor® systems was recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists; shipment has occurred, including transfer of title and risk of loss for product sales, services have been rendered for service revenues; the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectability was reasonably assured.  We are also entitled to a profit share from our distributor upon their ultimate sale of the reactors to their customers.  Pursuant to the January 2016 agreement with the Company’s distributor, the profit share is not fixed at the time of delivery, and as such, revenue was recognized when the profit share was fixed and determinable, which was generally be upon delivery and installation of the NANO Neutralization System by the distributor to its customer.

On July 1, 2017, we adopted the new accounting standard ASCAccounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and all(5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the related amendments (“new revenue standard”)five-step model to all contracts. Sales revenuecontracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients

Revenue from the sale of our Nano Reactors continues to beReactor® and LPN is recognized when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities as this is our sole performance obligation under these contracts and we have no continuing obligation to the customer. Accordingly, we now estimate and recognize the corresponding gross profit at the time of shipment of the Nano reactor hardware, subject to variable consideration constraints, in accordance to ASC 606.

 

Specifically, we have determined that theThe Company also recognizes revenue from its share of gross profit to be earned from our distributor is adistributors, as defined, which we treat as variable consideration that requires estimation in determining the transaction price, and as such all or a portion can be recognizedrecognize using the most likely amount approach (subject to the variable consideration constraint).method. Estimates are available from Desmetour distributor which are considered in the determination of the most likely amount. However, given the lack of control over the sale to the end customer and the lack of history of prior sales, we considered these as a variable revenue constraint that required consideration and as such, the amount of gross profit revenue recognized is being limited to the actual amount of cash received under the contract which the Company has determined asis not refundable and has concluded that a significant future revenue reversal of such amountcumulative revenue under the contract will not occur.

In addition, the Company also recognizes revenues from usage fees of certain reactors. Usage fees are recognized based on actual usage by the customer and when collectability is not probable.reasonably assured.

Lease

 

The adoptionCompany accounts for leases under the guidance of this standard resulted inASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), which requires an entity to recognize a material impactright-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on our previously reported statement of operations andthe balancesheet as of and sheet. The Company accounts for the year ended June 30, 2017.Pursuant to the transition requirements of ASC 606, the Company adopted the full retrospective methodlease and retrospectively applied the new revenue standard to all period presented as if the new revenue standards had been applied to all prior period.

Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets

Management believes that the accounting estimate related to the recoverabilitynon-lease components of its long-lived assetsoffice lease as a single lease component. Lease expense is recognized on a “critical accounting estimate” because significant changes in the assumptions used to develop the estimates could materially affect key financial measures, including net income and non-current assets.

Testing of long-lived assets for impairment involves a high degree of judgment due to the assumptions that underlie the undiscounted cash flows analysis. We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, we compare the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amountstraight-line basis over the fair value based on market value when available or discounted expected cash flows of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. Management believes there is no impairment of its long-lived assets. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for our products under development will continue. Either of these could result in future impairment of long-lived assets.lease term.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

We periodically issue stock options and warrantsThe Company accounts for share-based awards to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for servicesnonemployees and for financing costs. We account for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. We account for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non- employeesconsultants in accordance with the authoritative guidanceprovisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at fair value on the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas thegrant date and that fair value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement daterecognized as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortizedexpense over the requisite service, or vesting, period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.period.

Determining the fair value of share-basedThe Company values its equity awards at the measurement date requires judgment, including estimating the expected term that stock options and warrants will be outstanding prior to exercise, the associated volatility, and the expected dividends. We estimate the fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes valuation model.option pricing model, and accounts for forfeitures when they occur. Use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions including expected volatility, expected term, and a risk-free interest rate. The Company estimates volatility using a blend of its own historical stock price volatility as well as that of market comparable entities since the Company's common stock has limited trading history and limited observable volatility of its own. The expected lifeterm of the options used in this calculation is estimated by using the period the options aresimplified method to estimate expected to be outstanding and has been determined based on historical exercise experience. Expected stock price volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock for a period approximating the expected life, and theterm. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on US Treasury zero-coupon issues approximating the expected life. Judgment is also required in estimating the number of share-based awards that will be forfeited prior to vesting. We believe that these assumptions are “critical accounting estimates” because significant changes in the assumptions used to develop the estimates could materially affect key financial measures including net income (loss).estimated using comparable published federal funds rates.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic.

It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for the Company’s products, and harm the Company’s business and results of operations. During the year ended June 30, 2020, the Company believes the COVID-19 pandemic did not materially impact its operating results due to the nature of the Company’s business and its operations. The Company has not observed any impairments of its assets or a significant change in the fair value of its assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At this time, it is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company has been following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its employees, including the temporary closure of its corporate office and having employees work remotely. Most vendors have transitioned to electronic submission of invoices and payments.

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cavitation Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Hydrodynamic Technology, Inc. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include estimates for allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for inventory obsolescence, assumptions used in valuing our stock options, stock warrants and common stock issued for services, the valuation allowance for our deferred tax asset, and the accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients.

Revenue from sale of our Nano Reactors is recognized when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities as this is our sole performance obligation under these contracts and we have no continuing obligation to the customer.

The Company also recognizes revenue from its share of gross profit to be earned from distributors, as defined, which we treat as variable consideration and recognize using the most likely amount method. Estimates are available from our distributor which are considered in the determination of the most likely amount. However, given the lack of control over the sale to the end customer and the lack of history of prior sales, the amount of gross profit revenue recognized is limited to the actual amount of cash received under the contract which the Company has determined is not refundable and that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur.

In addition, the Company also recognizes revenues from usage fees of certain reactors. Usage fees are recognized based on actual usage by the customer.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates market value.

The Company maintains its cash with one domestic financial institution. From time to time, cash balances in this domestic bank may exceed federally insured limits provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) of up to $250,000.

As of June 30, 2020, and 2019, Company had deposits in excess of federally insured limit with one bank. The Company believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to this cash balances because of its assessment of the creditworthiness and financial viability of this financial institution.

20

Accounts Receivable

The Company evaluates the collectability of our trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors. In circumstances where it becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, a specific reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount that management believes will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on our historical losses and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable outstanding.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $5,000. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded as of June 30, 2019.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a specific item basis. Inventory is composed of finished goods and represents costs incurred to manufacture the Company’s Nano Reactor® systems and LPN.

There was no recorded allowance for excess quantities and obsolescence as of June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is presented at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Betterments, renewals, and extraordinary repairs that extend the life of the assets are capitalized; other repairs and maintenance charges are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation applicable to retired assets are removed from the Company’s accounts, and the gain or loss on dispositions, if any, is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives.

Leasehold improvementsShorter of life of asset or lease term
Furniture5-7 Years
Office equipment5 Years
Lab equipment4 Years
Skid systems4 Years

Management assesses the carrying value of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value.

For the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not recognize any impairment for its property and equipment.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the estimated future tax effects, calculated at anticipated future tax rates, of future deductible or taxable amounts attributable to events that have been recognized on a cumulative basis in the financial statements. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.

21

Leases

Prior to July 1, 2019, the Company accounted for leases under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840, Accounting for Leases. Effective July 1, 2019, the Company adopted the guidance of ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), which requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases. The Company adopted ASC 842 using a modified retrospective approach. As a result, the comparative financial information has not been updated and the required disclosures prior to the date of adoption have not been updated and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components of its office lease as a single lease component. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The adoption of ASC 842 on July 1, 2019 resulted in the initial recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets of $368,000, lease liabilities for operating leases of $368,000, and a zero cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit (see Note 3).

Fair Value Measurement

 

FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10 requires entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. ASC 820-10 defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.

20

 

In addition to defining fair value, the standard expands the disclosure requirements around fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which are determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

  

Level 1 - inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

 

Level 2 - inputs are based upon significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 - inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

 

As of June 30, 2018,2020, and 2017,2019, the carrying value of certain accounts such as accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued payroll approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are used in reserves for inventory obsolescence, valuing our stock options, stock warrants and common stock issued for services and realization of our deferred tax asset, among other items. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Through June 30, 2017, revenue from the sale of ourNano Reactor® systems was recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists; shipment has occurred, including transfer of title and risk of loss for product sales, services have been rendered for service revenues; the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectability was reasonably assured.  We are also entitled to a profit share from our distributor upon their ultimate sale of the reactors to their customers.  Pursuant to the January 2016 agreement with the Company’s distributor, the profit share is not fixed at the time of delivery, and as such, revenue was recognized when the profit share was fixed and determinable, which was generally be upon delivery and installation of the NANO Neutralization System by the distributor to its customer.

On July 1, 2017, we adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments (“new revenue standard”) to all contracts. Sales revenue from the sale of our Nano Reactors continues to be recognized when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities as this is our sole performance obligation under these contracts and we have no continuing obligation to the customer. Accordingly, the Company now estimates and recognizes the corresponding gross profit at the time of shipment of the Nano reactor hardware, subject to variable consideration constraints, in accordance to ASC 606.

Specifically, the Company has determined that the gross profit to be earned from its distributor as a variable consideration that requires estimation in determining the transaction price, and as such all or a portion can be recognized using the most likely amount approach (subject to the variable consideration constraint). Estimates are available from our distributor which are considered in the determination of the most likely amount. However, given the lack of control over the sale to the end customer and the lack of history of prior sales, the Company considered these as a variable revenue constraint that required consideration and as such, the amount of revenue recognized is being limited to the actual amount of cash received under the contract which the Company has determined as not refundable and has concluded that future revenue reversal of such amount is not probable.

The adoption of this standard resulted in a material impact on our previously reported statement of operations and balancesheet as of and for the year ended June 30, 2017.Pursuant to the transition requirements of ASC 606, the Company adopted the full retrospective method and retrospectively applied the new revenue standard to all periods presented as if the new revenue standards had been applied to all prior periods (see Note 2).

Cash

The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates market value. 

The Company maintains its cash with one domestic financial institution. From time to time, cash balance in this domestic bank may exceed federally insured limits provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) of up to $250,000. As of June 30, 2018, and 2017, Company had approximately $945,000 and $549,000 respectively, on deposit with one bank. The Company believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to this cash balances because of its assessment of the creditworthiness and financial viability of this financial institution.

21

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company evaluates the collectability of our trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors. In circumstances where it becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, a specific reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount that management believes will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on our historical losses and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable outstanding. Accounts receivable as of June 30, 2017 of $85,000 were subsequently collected in fiscal 2018. There were no account receivables outstanding as of June 30, 2018.

Inventory

Inventory, net of an allowance for excess quantities and obsolescence, is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a specific item basis. Inventory is composed of finished goods and represents costs incurred to manufacture the Company’sNano Reactor®systems.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is presented at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Betterments, renewals, and extraordinary repairs that extend the life of the assets are capitalized; other repairs and maintenance charges are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation applicable to retired assets are removed from the Company’s accounts, and the gain or loss on dispositions, if any, is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives.

Leasehold improvementsShorter of life of asset or lease
Furniture5-7 Years
Office equipment5 Years
Lab equipment4 Years
Skid systems4 Years

Management assesses the carrying value of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. For the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not recognize any impairment for its property and equipment.

22

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrantsaccounts for share-based awards to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for servicesnonemployees and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employeesconsultants in accordance with the authoritative guidanceprovisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at fair value on the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereasgrant date and that fair value is recognized as expense over the requisite service, or vesting, period.

In periods through June 30, 2019, the Company accounted for share-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50, Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached,goods or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earnservices received; or (b) the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

issued. The final fair value of the Company’s common stock option and warrant grantsshare-based payment transaction is determined at the performance completion date. For interim periods, the fair value is estimated, and the percentage of completion is applied to that estimate to determine the cumulative expense recorded.

22

On July 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 simplifies the accounting for share-based transactions by expanding the scope of Topic 718 from only being applicable to share-based payments to employees to also include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. As a result, nonemployee share-based transactions are measured by estimating the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date, taking into consideration the probability of satisfying performance conditions. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2020 or the previously reported financial statements.

The Company values its equity awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected lifeand accounts for forfeitures when they occur. Use of the options and warrants, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions including expected volatility, expected term, and based on actual experience.a risk-free interest rate. The assumptions used inCompany estimates volatility using a blend of its own historical stock price volatility as well as that of market comparable entities since the Black-Scholes option pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.Company's common stock has limited trading history and limited observable volatility of its own. The expected term of the options is estimated by using the simplified method to estimate expected term. The risk-free interest rate is estimated using comparable published federal funds rates.

 

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10,Income Taxes.  The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the estimated future tax effects, calculated at anticipated future tax rates, of future deductible or taxable amounts attributable to events that have been recognized on a cumulative basis in the financial statements. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.

ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. The Company classifies interest and penalties as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, there have been no interest or penalties assessed or paid.

The Company measures and records uncertain tax positions by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized.

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs, including marketing expense, incurred in the normal course of operations are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses amounted to $23,000$20,000 and $31,000$16,000 for the years ended June 30, 20182020 and 20172019 respectively and was reported as part of General and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development expenses relate primarily to the development, design, testing of preproduction prototypes and models, compensation, and consulting fees, and are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs recorded during the years ended June 30, 20182020 and 20172019 amounted to $18,000 and $25,000, and $27,000, respectively.

23

 

Warranty Policy

 

The Company provides a limited warranty with every set of reactors sold, typically 2 to 5 years. The Company has not experienced significant claims under its warranty policy, and management determined no accrual for warranty reserve was necessary at June 30, 20182020 and 2017.2019.

  

Net LossIncome (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company’s computation of lossnet income (loss) per share (“EPS”) includes basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as the income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the income of the Company as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. In computing diluted income per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants arewere exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Options and warrants may have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

Concentrations

During the year ended June 30, 2020 we recorded revenues of 53% from GEA, 45% Desmet and 2% EW, compared to 97% of recorded revenues from Desmet an 3% EW in Fiscal 2019. from (see Note 2).

At June 30, 2020, 100% of accounts receivable were due from Desmet.

Segment

As of June 30, 2020, the Company operated one reportable business segment. In accordance with the “Segment Reporting” Topic of the ASC, the Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting” due to their similar customer base and similarities in: economic characteristics; nature of products and services; and procurement, manufacturing and distribution processes. Since the Company operates in one segment, all financial information required by “Segment Reporting” can be found in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02,Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

24

In JanuaryJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition andNo. 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial AssetsInstruments (“ASC 326”). ASU 2016-13 requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on current expected credit losses (“CECL”) to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01), which requires equity investmentsearly adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the potential impact of the new guidance and related codification improvements will be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 will simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models will result in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not accountedclearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for undera scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. ASU 2020-06 also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity method ofto reduce form-over-substance-based accounting toconclusions. ASU 2020-06 will be measured at fair value with changes recognized in net income and updates certain presentation and disclosure requirements. ASU 2016-01 is effective beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company will adopt this guidance on July 1, 2018 and2024, for the Company. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than July 1, 2021, including interim periods within that year. Management is currently evaluating the impacteffect of the adoption of ASU 2016-01 will have2020-06 on itsthe consolidated financial statements, and associated disclosures.but currently does not believe ASU 2020-06 will have a significant impact on the Company.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

Dependence on Desmet Ballestra

The Company’s revenue is entirely dependent on Desmet Ballestra who is its distribution agent with regard to theCTi Nano Neutralization® System for edible oils. During the year ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, almost all of the Company’s revenue was derived from Desmet (see Note 3).

Reclassification

An amount of $28,000 related to write-off of inventory reflected in prior years as general and administrative expenses has been reclassified to cost of revenue to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassification did not change the reported net loss during those periods.

 

Note 2 – Adoption of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

 

The Company has developed, patented, and commercialized proprietary technology calledNano Reactor®Desmet Ballestra Agreement that may be used in liquid processing applications. The Company generates revenues from the sale of theNano Reactor® to customers/distributor as well as share in gross profit from the sale of such reactors by our distributors to their customers.

 

In October 2018, we signed a three-year global R and D, Marketing and Technology License Agreement with Desmet for the sale and licensing of our reactors. This agreement is a continuation of an original agreement we signed with Desmet in fiscal 2012 and amended in fiscal 2016. As part of the October 2018 agreement, Desmet agreed to provide us monthly advances of $50,000 through October 1, 2021 to be applied against our gross profit share from future sales.

Through June 30, 2017,

The Company recognizes revenue from sale of reactors upon shipment and acceptance by Desmet, as the Company has no further obligations to Desmet other than the reactor’s two-year standard warranty. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes the revenue from the sale of ourNano Reactor® systems was recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists; shipment has occurred, including transfer of title and risk of loss for product sales, services have been rendered for service revenues; the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectability was reasonably assured.  The Company is also entitled to a gross profit share from our distributor from the sale of the reactors to their customers. Such gross profit share was not fixed at the time of delivery, and as such, revenue was recognized when the profit share was fixed and determinable, which was generally be upon delivery and installation of the NANO Neutralization System by the distributor to its customer.

On July 1, 2017, The Company adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments (“new revenue standard”) to all contracts. Sales revenue from the sale of our Nano Reactors continues to be recognized when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities as this is our sole performance obligation under these contracts and we have no continuing obligation to the customer. Accordingly, the Company now estimates and recognizes the corresponding gross profit at the time of shipment of the Nano reactor hardware subjectas such shipment is deemed to variable consideration constraints, in accordance to ASC 606.be the Company’s only performance obligation and the Company has no more continuing obligation. Desmet pays for such reactors on credit terms and the amount of the sale is recorded as a receivable upon acceptance by Desmet.

 

Specifically,

25

The Company also receives a share in gross profit, as defined, from the sale of Desmet’s integrated neutralization system to its customers of which the reactors are an integral component. Such amount is subject to adjustment based on certain factors including cost overruns. The Company has no control with regards to the sale and installation of Nano Reactor® and CTi Nano Neutralization® System, between Desmet and the end customer. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company has determined that the gross profit to be earned from its distributorDesmet is a variable consideration, and evaluates the amount of the potential payments and the likelihood that requires estimation in determining the transaction price, and as such all or a portion canpayments will be recognizedreceived using the most likely amount approach (subject to the variable consideration constraint). Estimates are available from our distributor which are considered in the determination of the most likely amount. However, given the lack of control over the sale to the end customer and the lack of history of prior sales, the Company considered these as a variable revenue constraint that required considerationconstraints, and as such, the amount of revenue recognized is being limited to the actual amount of cash received under the contract which the Company has determined asis not refundable and has concludedprobable that futurea significant revenue reversal of such amount iswould not probable.

Note 3 - Agreement with Distributors

Desmet Ballestra Agreement

On January 22, 2016, the Company signed a three-year globalResearch and Development, Marketing and Technology License Agreementwith the n.v. Desmet Ballestra Group s.a. (Desmet), a Belgian company that is actively marketing theNANO Neutralization System, the key component of which is the Company’s reactor to soybean and other vegetable oil refiners. The agreement provided Desmet (licensee) a limited, exclusive license and right to develop, design and supply Nano Reactor® systems which incorporate Nano Reactor® devicesactual collection based on a global basis but is limited to oils and fats and oleo chemical applications. The Company (licensor) remains owner of the current patents and patent applications but Desmet will be co-owner of any new process patent applications jointly developed. Desmet provided, under certain conditions, limited monthly advance payments of $50,000 to be applied against gross profit share earned by the Company on installation of the nano reactors by Desmet to its customers. The agreement expired in August 2018. Desmet and CTi have extended current license agreement until October 1, 2018, while a new three-year license agreement is still under the negotiations.

Through June 30, 2017, revenue from the sale of ourNano Reactor® systems was recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists; shipment has occurred, including transfer of title and risk of loss for product sales, services have been rendered for service revenues; the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectability was reasonably assured.  The Company is also entitled to a profit share from our distributor upon their ultimate sale of the reactors to their customers.  Pursuant to the January 2016 agreement with the Company’s distributor, the profit share is not fixed at the time of delivery, and as such, revenue was recognized when the profit share was fixed and determinable, which was generally be upon delivery and installation of the NANO Neutralization System by the distributor to its customer.

On July 1, 2017, the Company adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments (“new revenue standard”) to all contracts. Sales revenue from the sale of our Nano Reactors continues to be recognized when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities as this is our sole performance obligation under these contracts and we have no continuing obligation to the customer. Accordingly, the Company now estimates and recognizes the corresponding gross profit at the time of shipment of the Nano reactor hardware, subject to variable consideration constraints, in accordance to ASC 606.

Specifically, the Company has determined that the gross profit to be earned from its distributor as a variable consideration that requires estimation in determining the transaction price, and as such all or a portion can be recognized using the most likely amount approach (subject to the variable consideration constraint). Estimates are available from Desmet which are considered in the determination of the most likely amount. However, given the lack of control over the sale to the end customer and the lack of history of prior sales, the Company considered these as a variable revenue constraint that required consideration and as such, the amount of revenue recognized is being limited to the actual amount of cash received under the contract which the Company has determined as not refundable and has concluded that future revenue reversal of such amount is not probable.historical experience.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2017,2020, the Company recorded revenuessales of $895,000$483,000 from reactorNano Reactor® sales and $1,002,000$266,000 from gross profit share for a total revenue of $1,897,000. As of June 30, 2017, $85,000 of the recorded revenues was outstanding and was collected in fiscal 2018.$749,000 from Desmet.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2018,2019, the Company recorded revenuessales of $590,000$533,000 from reactorNano Reactor® sales and $700,000$517,000 from gross profit share for a total revenue of $1,290,000.$1,050,000.

As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, advances received from Desmet related to the Company’s share in gross profit amounted to $367,000 and $33,000, respectively. These advances will only be recognized as revenues once the condition for revenue recognition have been met.

 

GEA Westfalia Agreement

 

In January 2017 the Company entered into a global technology license, R&D and marketing agreement with GEA Westfalia (GEA) with respect to our patented Nano Reactor™ technology, processes and applications.. Under the agreement, GEA has beenwas granted a worldwide exclusive license to integrate our patented technology into water treatment application, milk and juice pasteurization, and certain food related processes. The license agreement between uswith GEA was for three years, and GEA has a three-year term and providesprovided for the paymentnon-refundable payments of $300,000 per year in advancedthat were to be applied to future license fees, or the Company’s share inof gross profit from the sale of GEA’s system to us.

GEA Westfalia Separator manufactures filtration and equipment such as separators, clarifiers, decanters and membrane filtration systems. This equipment is used for the purification of suspensions, the separation of fluid mixtures with simultaneous removal of solids, extraction and concentration or removal of liquids from solids. The technological dominance of the company is based on over one hundred fifteen years of innovation, first-class engineering solutions and comprehensive processing capabilities. The company was founded in 1893 in Oelde, Germany, and since 1994 has been a part of the GEA Group AG and is a business unit within the GEA Mechanical Equipment segment.

As of June 30, 2018,its customers. From January 2017 through December 2019, the Company received $427,000 intotal non-refundable payments of $877,000 from GEA. For the years ending June 30, 2017 through June 30, 2019, the Company accounted for these payments as advances from distributors in the consolidated balance sheet as they represent deferred profit sharing revenue in anticipation of future sales of the Company’s reactors to GEA. The agreement with GEA expired in December 2019 and during the term of the agreement, the Company did not sell any reactors to GEA. The Company determined that its performance obligation to provide reactors to GEA had expired based on terms of the agreement. Accordingly, for the year ending June 30, 2020, the Company recognized the $877,000 of non-refundable payments received in 2017 to 2019 as revenue.

Enviro Watertek, LLC Agreement

In April 2019, the Company entered into a licensing and service contract agreement with Enviro Watertek, LLC (“EW”).

Note 3 – Operating Lease

The Company leases certain warehouse and corporate office space under an operating lease agreement. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Lease assets are presented as operating lease right-of-use assets and the related liabilities are presented as lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally, the implicit rate of interest in lease arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of what its credit rating would be. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.

AtFor the year ended June 30, 2018 and 2017,2020 the Company hadrecorded no provision for income taxes due to available Federal net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $9.8 million that are available to reduce taxable income. For the year ended June 30, 2019, the Company has no provision for income taxes due to net losses incurred.

Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expenses for the financial reporting purposes and for tax purposes. The components of deferred tax assets are presented below.

At June 30, 2020, the Company had available Federal NOL carryforwards of approximately $9.8 million that are available to reduce future taxable income. The amounts available were approximately $9.3 million and $9.1 million for Federal purposes, respectively. The Federal carryforward expires in 2036. The NOL is also subject to statutory limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 regarding substantial changes in ownership of companies with loss carry forwards.

 

ASC 740 requires the consideration of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Significant management judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In evaluating the ability to recover deferred tax assets, the Company considered available positive and negative evidence, giving greater weight to its recent cumulative losses and its ability to carry-back losses against prior taxable income and lesser weight to its projected financial results due to the challenges of forecasting future periods. The Company also considered, commensurate with its objective verifiability, the forecast of future taxable income including the reversal of temporary differences.

During the year ended June 30, 20182020 and 2017,2019, management has determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize the tax benefit of the carryforwards due to recurring operating losses. Based on their evaluation, the Company determined that the net deferred tax assets, do not meet the requirements to realize, and as such, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against them.

Royalty Agreements

 

On July 1, 2008, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary entered into Patent Assignment Agreements with two parties, its President as well as its former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and current Technology Senior Manager, where certain devices and methods involved in the hydrodynamic cavitation processes invented by the President and former CEO/ current Technology Senior Manager have been assigned to the Company.  In exchange, the Company agreed to pay a royalty of 5% of gross revenues to each of the President and former CEO/ current Technology Senior Manager for licensing of the technology and leasing of the related equipment embodying the technology. These agreements were subsequently assigned to Cavitation Technologies on May 13, 2010. The Company’s former CEO/ current Technology Senior Manager and President both waived their rights to receive royalty payments that have accrued, or that may accrue, on any gross revenue generated through June 30, 20182020 and 2017.2019.

As of June 30, 2018,2020, and 2017,2019, no patents have been granted in which this person is the legally named inventor.

 

LitigationNote 10 – Subsequent Events

 

TheIn July 2020, the Company may be involved in certain legal proceedings that arise from time to timeexecuted a loan agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program in the ordinary courseamount of its business. Except for income tax contingencies (commencing April 1, 2009), the Company records accruals for contingencies to the extent that management concludes that the occurrence$150,000. The loan is probablesecured by all tangible and that the related amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred.

In August 2014, a former employee and former Director (Plaintiff) filed an administrative Complaint for approximately $179,000 in unpaid wages, plus penalties and interest, with the California Labor Commissioner’s Office (CLCO).  In January 2016, the CLCO ruled in favorintangible assets of the Company and dismissed the case. As a resultpayable over 30 years at an interest rate of this ruling, the Company’s obligation to the Plaintiff only amounted to approximately $134,000 which was already accrued in prior periods3.75% per annum. Installment payments, including principal and included as part of Accrued Payroll and payroll taxes due to officers in the accompanying balance sheet.interest, will begin on July 2021.

 

In February 2016, the Plaintiff appealed this ruling to the Los Angeles County Superior Court.  In addition to defending itself, the Company also has filed a cross-complaint against the Plaintiff for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty as a Director. In August 2017, the Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the trial court’s ruling granting the Company’s anti-SLAPP motion. The Court of Appeal has dismissed Plaintiff’s appeal for failing to timely to designate the record on appeal.

 

In March 2018, the Company has reached a settlement agreement with the Plaintiff, resulting in removal of all claims by both parties. As a result of this settlement, the Company has recorded a gain of $101,000 to extinguish accrued salary.

Note 9 – Agreement with Alchemy Beverages, Inc.

In fiscal 2014, Roman Gordon, one of the Company’s shareholders and a former officer, formed a company, Cameo USA LLC (Cameo). Since its formation, Cameo has had no revenue, no operations, and has had no assets or liabilities. On June 4, 2018, Mr. Gordon contributed his 100% interest in Cameo to the Company. As Mr. Gordon had no basis in his investment in Cameo, there was no value assigned to the contribution of Cameo.

On June 29, 2018, the Company agreed to sell Cameo to Alchemy Beverages Inc. (ABI). In addition, the Company entered into two licensing agreements with ABI. In consideration for the sale of Cameo and for entering into the licensing agreements, ABI agreed to issue 19.9% of ABI’s outstanding common shares to the Company (limited to 20 million shares of ABI). ABI is a private company and in the business of producing and selling alcoholic beverages, equipment, and home appliances. Prior to this agreement, ABI was independent of CTI and had no relation to the Company nor to the Company’s management. ABI purchased Cameo for the right to use its name in marketing a vodka spirit.

Pursuant to the licensing agreements, ABI has the exclusive global distribution rights for the Company’s patented and patent pending technology for the processing of alcoholic beverages. The Company has agreed to assist in the installation and maintenance of the nano reactor systems for ABI and will receive royalty payments ranging from 1% to 3% on all net revenues, as defined, of ABI for the life of the applicable patents. In addition, the Company will receive leasing, consulting, and manufacturing fees as defined. In addition, on a future transaction involving the sale of ABI, the Company will receive approximately 10% of the transaction price (with a minimum of $5 million) and in the event ABI becomes a public entity, the Company will receive approximately 10% of ABI’s shares.

Pursuant to current accounting guidelines the Company accounted for its investment in the 19.9% share of the outstanding capital of ABI based on a cost method of accounting. Under the cost method, investments are recorded at cost and adjusted for additional contributions or distributions, and for other-than temporary impairments, if any. The Company determined that although it owns 19.9% of ABI, it does not have any control over the operations and financial policies of the ABI, and does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over ABI. As the Company had no basis in its investment in ABI, there is no value assigned at June 30, 2018.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

In accordance with rule 13a-15(a), our management must maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) and (c), management must also evaluate the effectiveness of these disclosure control and procedures at the end of each fiscal year. As of June 30, 2018,2020, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2018.2020.

Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed under the supervision of our principal executive and principal financial officer, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 

(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures, (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)) as of the year ended June 30, 2018.2020. Management conducted as assessment of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting are ineffective. Our management discovered certain conditions that we deemed to be material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our internal controls, as follows:

 

A lack of accounting and finance resources as well as effective oversight by those in charge of governance resulted in insufficient controls over timely financial statement preparation and review as well as the preparation and review around accounting for certain complex transactions.

34

 

The Company did not maintain an effective control environment, which is the foundation necessary for effective internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, the Company (i) had an insufficient number of personnel appropriately qualified to perform control design, execution and monitoring activities (ii) had an insufficient number of monitoringpersonnel with an appropriate level of U.S. GAAP knowledge and experience and ongoing training in the application of U.S. GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements commensurate with the Company’s financial reporting requirements; (iii) had inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (iv) did not formally document policies and controls used to assessenable management and other personnel to understand and carry out their internal control responsibilities including the lack of closing checklists, budget-to-actual analyses, balance sheet variation analysis, proforma financial statements, and the usage of key spreadsheets for monitoring. Additionally, the Company did not have an adequate process in place to complete its testing and assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls is inadequate. We also do not have an adequate internal process to report deficiencies in internal control to management onover financial reporting in a timely basis.manner.

 

We are in the continuous process of improving our internal control over financial reporting in an effort to eliminate these material weaknesses through improved supervision and training of our staff, but additional effort is needed to fully remedy these deficiencies.material weaknesses. We intend to hire the necessary staff to address the material weaknesses once additional capital is obtained which will allow full operations to commence. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

 

We have taken numerous steps to address the underlying causes of the material weaknesses in our internal control deficiencies,controls, primarily through the development and implementation of policies, improved processes and documented procedures, the retention of third-party experts and contractors, and the hiring of additional accounting personnel with technical accounting and inventory accounting experience.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 20182020 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Attestation

 

Pursuant to Item 308(b) of Regulation S-K, as amended by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Wall Street Reform Act), this report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. The Wall Street Reform Act permanently exempts small public companies from the requirement to obtain an external audit on the effectiveness of internal financial reporting controls.

Expected volatility is calculated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a term equal to the expected life of the options at the time of grant.

 

Employment Agreements

 

Our executive officers work as at-will employees.

 

Code Section 162(m) Provisions

 

Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, or the Code, generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation in excess of $1 million paid to the Chief Executive Officer or any of the four most highly compensated officers. Performance-based compensation arrangements may qualify for an exemption from the deduction limit if they satisfy various requirements under Section 162(m). Although we consider the impact of this rule when developing and implementing our executive compensation programs, we believe it is important to preserve flexibility in designing compensation programs. Accordingly, we have not adopted a policy that all compensation must qualify as deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code. While our stock options are intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” (as defined by the Code), amounts paid under our other compensation programs may not qualify as such.

ITEM 12.  Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

 

The following table provides information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of October 18, 2018,5, 2020, (the “Evaluation Date”) by: (i) each of our current directors, (ii) each of our named executive officers, and (iii) all such directors and executive officers as a group. We know of no other person or group of affiliated persons who beneficially own more than five percent of our common stock. The table is based upon information supplied by our officers, directors and principal stockholders and a review of Schedules 13D and 13G, if any, filed with the SEC. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to the table and subject to community property laws where applicable, we believe that each of the stockholders named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated as beneficially owned.

 

Applicable percentages are based on 197,997,906196,997,906 shares outstanding as of the Evaluation Date, adjusted as required by rules promulgated by the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities. In addition, the rules include shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options or warrants that are either immediately exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the Evaluation Date. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding those options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but they are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

ITEM 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

 

Certain Related Party Transactions

 

Since the beginning of our last fiscal year , there has not been, and there is not currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or will be a party in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years and in which any of our directors, executive officers, holders of more than five percent of any class of our voting securities or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

 

Accrued Payroll and Payroll Taxes

 

As of June 30, 2018,2020, and 2017,2019, the Company had accrued unpaid salaries to officers and former officers amounting to $889,000$897,000 and $994,000$892,000 respectively. During the year ended June 30, 2018, accrued salary of $131,000 due to a former director was settled for a payment of $30,000.

 

Cameo USA LLC

 

In fiscal 2014, Roman Gordon, one of the Company’s shareholders and a former officer, formed a company called Cameo USA LLC (Cameo). Since its formation, Cameo has had no revenue, no operations, and has had no assets or liabilities. On June 4, 2018, Mr. Gordon contributed his 100% interest in Cameo to the Company. As Mr. Gordon had no basis in his investment in Cameo, there was no value assigned to the contribution of Cameo. Subsequent to the contribution of Cameo to the Company, Cameo was sold to Alchemy Beverages Inc.

 

Director Independence

 

As our common stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, we are not subject to the rules of any national securities exchange which require that a majority of a listed company's directors and specified committees of the board of directors meet independence standards prescribed by such rules. For the purpose of preparing the disclosures in this Report on Form 10-K regarding director independence, we have used the definition of "independent director" set forth in the Marketplace Rules of The NASDAQ, which defines an "independent director" generally as a person other than an executive officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company's board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Consistent with these standards, we believe that James Fuller is an Independent Financial Expert.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

 

Consistent with SEC policies regarding auditor independence, the Audit Committee has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent registered public accounting firm. In recognition of this responsibility, the Audit Committee has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm.

 

Prior to the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm for the next year’s audit, management will submit a list of services and related fees expected to be rendered during that year for audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other fees to the Audit Committee for approval.
