Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 20172022 and December 31, 20162021 include a certificateapproximately $7.5 million and $7.4 million, respectively, of depositcertificates of deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

Certificate of deposit: As of December 31, 2021, the Company held a certificate of deposit in The Bahamas of $2.5 million with an original maturity of six months.

8

Goodwill and intangible assets: Goodwill represents the excess cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquired business. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually or upon the identification of a triggering event. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values and reviewed periodically for impairment. The Company evaluates the possible impairment of goodwill annually as part of its reporting process for the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Management identifies the Company’s reporting units, which consist of retail, bulk, services, and manufacturing, and determines the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units. The Company determines the fair value of each reporting unit and compares the fair value to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. To the extent the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, an impairment loss is recorded.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company estimated the fair value of its reporting units by applying the discounted cash flow method, which relied upon seven-year discrete projections of operating results, working capital and capital expenditures, along with a terminal value subsequent to the discrete period. These seven-year projections were based upon historical and anticipated future results, general economic and market conditions, and considered the impact of planned business and operational strategies. The discount rates for the calculations represented the estimated cost of capital for market participants at the time of each analysis.

The Company also estimated the fair value of each of its reporting units as of December 31, 2021 by applying the guideline public company method.

The Company weighted the fair values estimated for each of its reporting units under each method and summed such weighted fair values to estimate the overall fair value for each reporting unit. The respective weightings the Company applied to each method as of December 31, 2021 were 80% to the discounted cash flow method and 20% to the guideline public company method.

The fair values the Company estimated for its retail, bulk, services and manufacturing reporting units exceeded their carrying amounts by 32%, 51%, 15%, and 15% respectively, as of December 31, 2021.

Based upon its estimation prepared as of December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Company’s manufacturing reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by only 15%. If the Company determines in the future that Aerex’s discounted future cash inflows will be less than its present expectation, the Company may be required to record additional impairment losses to reduce the remaining carrying values as of September 30, 2022 of its manufacturing reporting unit’s goodwill of $1,985,211 and its remaining unamortized intangible assets balances of $777,778 recorded as a result of the acquisition of Aerex. Any such impairment losses could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

Revenue recognition: Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

Retail revenue

The Company produces and supplies water to end-users, including residential, commercial and governmental customers in the Cayman Islands under an exclusive retail license issued to Cayman Water by the Cayman Islands government to provide water in two of the three most populated areas on Grand Cayman Island. Customers are billed on a monthly basis based on metered consumption and bills are typically collected within 30 to 45 days after the billing date.

The Company recognizes revenue from water sales at the time water is supplied to the customer’s premises. The amount of water supplied is determined and invoiced based upon water meter readings performed at the end of each month. All retail water contracts are month-to-month contracts. The Company has elected the “right to invoice” practical expedient for revenue recognition on its retail water sale contracts and recognizes revenue in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice.

Bulk revenue

The Company produces and supplies water to government-owned utilities in the Cayman Islands and The Bahamas.

OC-Cayman provides bulk water to the Water Authority-Cayman (“WAC”), a government-owned utility and regulatory agency, under two agreements. The WAC in turn distributes such water to properties in Grand Cayman outside of Cayman Water’s retail license area.

The Company sells bulk water in The Bahamas through its majority-owned subsidiary, CW-Bahamas, under two agreements with the Water and Sewerage Corporation of The Bahamas (“WSC”), which distributes such water through its own pipeline system to residential, commercial and tourist properties on the Island of New Providence.

The Company has elected the “right to invoice” practical expedient for revenue recognition on its bulk water sale contracts and recognizes revenue in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice.

Services and Manufacturing revenue

The Company provides design, engineering, management, procurement and construction services for desalination infrastructure through DesalCo, which serves customers in the Cayman Islands, The Bahamas and the British Virgin Islands.

The Company also designs, builds, sells, operates and manages water, wastewater and water reuse infrastructure through PERC. All of PERC's customers are companies or governmental entities located in the U.S.

The Company, through Aerex, is a custom and specialty manufacturer of systems and products applicable to commercial, municipal and industrial water production and treatment. Substantially all of Aerex’s customers are U.S. companies.

The Company generates construction and services revenue from DesalCo and PERC and generates manufacturing revenue from Aerex.

11

The Company recognizes revenue for its construction and custom/specialized manufacturing contracts over time under the input method using costs incurred (which represents work performed) to date relative to total estimated costs at completion to measure progress toward satisfying its performance obligations as such measure best reflects the transfer of control of the promised good to the customer. Contract costs include labor, materials and amounts payable to subcontractors. The Company follows this method since it can make reasonably dependable estimates of the revenue and costs applicable to the various stages of a contract. Under this input method, the Company records revenue and recognizes profit or loss as work on the contract progresses. The Company estimates total project costs and profit to be earned on each long-term, fixed price contract prior to commencement of work on the contract and updates these estimates as work on the contract progresses. The cumulative amount of revenue recorded on a contract at a specified point in time is that percentage of total estimated revenue that incurred costs to date comprise of estimated total contract costs. If, as work progresses, the actual contract costs exceed estimates, the profit recognized on revenue from that contract decreases. The Company recognizes the full amount of any estimated loss on a contract at the time the estimates indicate such a loss. Any contract assets are classified as current assets. Contract liabilities on uncompleted contracts, if any, are classified as current liabilities.

The Company has elected the “right to invoice” practical expedient for revenue recognition on its services agreements and recognizes revenue in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice.

3. CW-Bali

Through its subsidiary CW-Bali, the Company built a seawater reverse osmosis plant with a production capacity of approximately 790,000 gallons per day located in Nusa Dua, one of the primary tourist areas of Bali, Indonesia. The Company built this plant based upon its belief that future water shortages in this area of Bali would eventually enable it to sell all of this plant’s production. Since inception of CW-Bali’s operations in 2013, the sales volumes for its plant have not been sufficient to cover its operating costs and CW-Bali has incurred net losses. The Company’s net losses from CW-Bali for its two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, were approximately ($2.5 million) and ($861,000), respectively. The results of CW-Bali were included in the retail segment for segment reporting purposes.

In late 2015, the Company decided to seek a strategic partner for CW-Bali to (i) purchase a major portion of its equity ownership in CW-Bali; (ii) lead CW-Bali’s sales and marketing efforts; (iii) liaise with the local water utility; and (iv) assist with CW-Bali’s on-going funding requirements. Although discussions were held and due diligence information was exchanged with potential strategic partners, the Company did not receive an offer for an investment in, a purchase of, or a joint venture for CW-Bali from any of these potential partners on terms it deemed acceptable.

On May 23, 2017, after considering CW-Bali’s historical and projected operating losses, its on-going funding requirements, the current business and economic environment in Bali and the Company’s inability to obtain a strategic partner for CW-Bali, the Company’s Board of Directors formally resolved to discontinue CW-Bali’s operations. The Company planned to cease the production of water in Bali, sell its stock in CW-Bali or CW-Bali’s net assets, and exit the Bali market at the earliest practical date, which the Company initially believed would be no later than March 31, 2018. Based upon the information available as of the date of the filing of the Company’s interim financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company accounted for CW-Bali as a discontinued operation in its consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

However, in October 2017, CW-Bali’s sole remaining customer filed a lawsuit in Bali, Indonesia against CW-Bali, its President, and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer in his capacity as the President of CW-Bali’s Board of Commissioners (i.e. Directors) seeking compensatory damages of 57.1 billion rupiahs and punitive damages of 26 billion rupiahs as a result of the anticipated breach of this customer’s water supply agreement that will arise from CW-Bali’s planned cessation of operations. Such damages were equivalent to approximately $4.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively, as of the exchange rate on November 8, 2017. Management of the Company believes this lawsuit is without merit and will vigorously defend CW-Bali and the two other defendants. However, until this lawsuit is resolved the Company is legally prohibited from disposing of its investment in CW-Bali or any of CW-Bali’s assets. As a result of the uncertainties arising from this lawsuit, CW-Bali no longer meets the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation as the Company cannot conclude if or when a sale or disposition of CW-Bali’s assets could be considered probable.

Based upon the decision to cease CW-Bali’s operations, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 the Company estimated the future cash flows the Company would receive under various scenarios from the disposition of its investment in CW-Bali and assigned a probability to each scenario to determine an estimated fair value of its investment in CW-Bali. Based upon these probability-weighted sums, the Company recorded an impairment loss of approximately $1,000,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to reduce the carrying value of its investment in CW-Bali (which includes $549,555 in cumulative translation adjustments reflected in stockholders’ equity) to its estimated fair value. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 the Company updated its estimated fair value projections for CW-Bali in light of the lawsuit filed in October 2017 and recorded an additional impairment loss of $578,480 to reduce the carrying value of its investment in Bali to its estimated fair value of approximately $378,000 as of September 30, 2017.

Summarized financial information for CW-Bali as of September 30, 2017 and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:

4. Segment information

The Company has four reportable segments: retail, bulk, services and manufacturing. The retail segment consists of Cayman Water which owns and operates the water utility that provides potable water tofor the Seven Mile Beach and West Bay areas of Grand Cayman Island pursuant to an exclusive license granted by the Cayman Islands government and CW-Bali which sells water to resort properties in Bali, Indonesia.government. The bulk segment supplies potable water to government utilities in Grand Cayman and The Bahamas and Belize under long-term contracts. The services segment designs, constructs and sells water infrastructure and provides desalination plant management and operating services to affiliated companies and designs, constructs and sells desalination plants to third parties. The manufacturing segment manufactures and services a wide range of custom and specialized water-related products and provides design, engineering, management, operating and other services applicable to commercial, municipal and industrial water production, supply and treatment.

Consistent with prior periods, the Company records all non-direct general and administrative expenses in its retail business segment and does not allocate any of these non-direct expenses to its other three business segments.

The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in Note 2. The Company evaluates each segment’s performance based upon its income (or loss) from operations. All intercompany transactions are eliminated for segment presentation purposes.

The Company’s segments are strategic business units that are managed separately because each segment sells different products and/or services, serves customers with distinctly different needs and generates different gross profit margins.

5.4. Earnings per share

Earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed on a basic and diluted basis. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) (less preferred stock dividends) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common shares for all potential common shares outstanding during the reporting period and, if dilutive, the effect of stock options as computed under the treasury stock method.

The following summarizes information related to the computation of basic and diluted EPS:

6. Investment in OC-BVI5. Discontinued operations - Mexico project development

The Company owns 50% of the outstanding voting common shares and a 43.53% equity interest in Ocean Conversion (BVI) Ltd. (“OC-BVI”). The Company also owns certain profit sharing rights in OC-BVI that raise its effective interest in the profits of OC-BVI to approximately 45%. Pursuant to a management services agreement, OC-BVI pays the Company monthly fees for certain engineering and administrative services. OC-BVI’s sole customer is the Ministry of Communications and Works of the Government of the British Virgin Islands to which it sells bulk water.

12

The Company’s equity investment in OC-BVI amounted to $3,124,910 and $4,086,630 as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

OC-BVI sells water produced by a desalination plant with a capacity of 720,000 gallons per day located at Bar Bay, Tortola (the “Bar Bay plant”) to the BVI government under a contract (the “Bar Bay agreement”) that was due to expire in March 2017 but was extended on February 14, 2017 for 14 years. The selling price for the water under the extension is approximately 31% lower than the price that was in effect as of December 31, 2016. Under the terms of the Bar Bay agreement, OC-BVI delivers up to 600,000 gallons of water per day to the BVI government from the Bar Bay plant on a take-or-pay basis. The Bar Bay agreement required OC-BVI to complete a storage reservoir on a BVI government site by no later than March 4, 2011. OC-BVI has not commenced construction of this storage reservoir due to the BVI government’s failure to pay (i) the full amount of invoices (including interest) for the water provided by the Bar Bay plant on a timely basis; and (ii) the remaining amount due under a court ruling relating to the Baughers Bay litigation (see discussion that follows).

Summarized financial information for OC-BVI is as follows:

Baughers Bay Litigation

Through March 2010, OC-BVI supplied water to the BVI government from a plant located at Baughers Bay, Tortola, under the terms of a water supply agreement dated May 1990 (the “1990 Agreement”) with an initial seven-year term that expired in May 1999. The 1990 Agreement provided that such agreement would automatically be extended for another seven-year term unless the BVI government provided notice, at least eight months prior to such expiration, of its decision to purchase the plant from OC-BVI at the agreed upon amount under the 1990 Agreement of approximately $1.42 million. In correspondence between the parties from late 1998 through early 2000, the BVI government indicated that it intended to purchase the plant but would be amenable to negotiating a new water supply agreement and that it considered the 1990 Agreement to be in force on a monthly basis until negotiations between the BVI government and OC-BVI were concluded. Occasional discussions were held between the parties after 2000 without resolution of the matter. OC-BVI continued to supply water from the plant and expended approximately $4.7 million between 1995 and 2003 to significantly expand the production capacity of the plant beyond that contemplated in the 1990 Agreement.

In 2006, the BVI government took the position that the seven-year extension of the 1990 Agreement had been completed and that it was entitled to ownership of the Baughers Bay plant. In response, OC-BVI disputed the BVI government’s contention that the original terms of the 1990 Agreement remained in effect. During 2007, the BVI government significantly reduced its payments for the water being supplied by OC-BVI and filed a lawsuit with the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court (the “Court”) seeking ownership of the Baughers Bay plant. OC-BVI counterclaimed to the Court that it was entitled to continued possession and operation of the Baughers Bay plant until the BVI government paid OC-BVI approximately $4.7 million, which OC-BVI believed represented the value of the Baughers Bay plant at its expanded production capacity. OC-BVI subsequently filed claims with the Court seeking payment for water sold and delivered to the BVI government through May 31, 2009 at the contract prices in effect before the BVI government asserted its purported right of ownership of the plant.

The Court ruled on this litigation in 2009, awarding ownership of the Baughers Bay plant to the BVI government without compensation to OC-BVI and awarding OC-BVI payments from the BVI government for the water supplied from the plant at rates deemed appropriate by the Court. Both OC-BVI and the BVI subsequently filed appeals with the Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeals (the “Appellate Court”) asking the Appellate Court to review certain rulings by the Court with respect to this litigation.

In March 2010, OC-BVI vacated the Baughers Bay plant and the BVI government assumed direct responsibility for the plant’s operations pursuant to the Court ruling.

In June 2012, the Appellate Court issued the final ruling with respect to the Baughers Bay litigation. This ruling upheld the previous ruling of the Court with one exception: the Appellate Court awarded OC-BVI compensation for improvements made to the plant in the amount equal to the difference between (i) the value of the Baughers Bay plant at the date OC-BVI transferred possession of the plant to the BVI government and (ii) $1.42 million (the purchase price for the Baughers Bay plant under the 1990 Agreement).

OC-BVI and the BVI government engaged a mutually approved valuation expert to complete a valuation of the Baughers Bay plant at the date it was transferred to the BVI government in accordance with the Appellate Court ruling. In June 2016, OC-BVI received the final valuation report from this valuation expert, which set forth a value for the Baughers Bay plant of $13.0 million as of the date OC-BVI transferred possession of the plant to the BVI government. Applying the valuation determined by the valuation expert to the formula set forth by the Appellate Court in its ruling, OC-BVI would be entitled to $11.58 million from the BVI government for the Baughers Bay plant. The BVI government has disagreed with the valuation methodology used by the valuation expert and the resulting valuation for the Baughers Bay plant. OC-BVI cannot presently determine if the Appellate Court will uphold the Baughers Bay plant valuation or when, or to what extent, any amount for the value of the Baughers Bay plant will be paid by the BVI government to OC-BVI. Consequently, any amount due for the Baughers Bay plant valuation will not be included in OC-BVI’s results of operations until such amount, if any, is paid by the BVI government.

Valuation of Investment in OC-BVI

The Company accounts for its investment in OC-BVI under the equity method of accounting for investments in common stock. This method requires recognition of a loss on an equity investment that is other than temporary, and indicates that a current fair value of an equity investment that is less than its carrying amount may indicate a loss in the value of the investment. While a quoted market price for OC-BVI’s stock is not available, due to the uncertainties (specifically the Baughers Bay litigation and the possible expiration without renewal of the Bar Bay agreement) associated with OC-BVI’s future cash flows, the Company tested the carrying value of its investment in OC-BVI (which exceeded the Company’s proportionate share of OC-BVI’s net assets by an amount accounted for as goodwill) for impairment in 2016 and prior years.

14

The Company estimated the fair value of its investment in OC-BVI through the use of the discounted cash flow method, which relied upon projections of OC-BVI’s operating results, working capital and capital expenditures. The use of this method required the Company to estimate OC-BVI’s future cash flows from its Bar Bay plant and the resolution of the Baughers Bay litigation.

The Company estimated OC-BVI’s cash flows from its Bar Bay plant by (i) identifying various possible future scenarios which included the execution of a new agreement for the Bar Bay plant as well as the termination of Bar Bay plant operations upon the scheduled expiration of the Bar Bay agreement in March 2017; (ii) estimating the cash flows associated with each possible scenario; and (iii) assigning a probability to each scenario. The Company similarly estimated the cash flows OC-BVI would receive from the BVI government in connection with the Court and Appellate Court rulings on the Baughers Bay litigation by assigning probabilities to different scenarios. The resulting probability-weighted sum represented the Company’s best estimate of future cash flows to be generated by OC-BVI.

The identification of the possible scenarios for the Bar Bay plant agreement and the Baughers Bay litigation, the projections of cash flows for each scenario, and the assignment of relative probabilities to each scenario all represented significant estimates made by the Company. While the Company used its best judgment in identifying these possible scenarios, estimating the expected cash flows for these scenarios and assigning relative probabilities to each scenario, these estimates were by their nature highly subjective and were also subject to material change by the Company’s management over time based upon new information or changes in circumstances.

After updating its probability-weighted estimates of OC-BVI’s future cash flows and its resulting estimate of the fair value of its investment in OC-BVI, the Company recorded impairment losses of approximately $875,000 and $925,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, to reduce the carrying value of its investment in OC-BVI.

As a result of the extension of the Bar Bay agreement, no impairment losses were necessary in 2017 for the Company’s investment in OC-BVI. As of September 30, 2017, the amount of the Company’s proportionate share (43.53%) of OC-BVI’s net assets exceeded the carrying value of the Company’s investment in OC-BVI by approximately $30,000.

7. NSC and AdR Project Development

In May 2010, the Company acquired,began the pursuit, through its wholly-owned Netherlands subsidiary, CW-Cooperatief, a 50% interest in NSC, a development stage Mexican company. The Company has since purchased, through the conversionConsolidated Water Cooperatief, U.A. (“CW-Cooperatief”), and its Mexico subsidiary, N.S.C. Agua, S.A. de C.V. (“NSC”), of a loan it made to NSC, sufficient shares to raise its ownership interest in NSC to 99.99%. NSC was formed to pursue a project (the “Project”) that originally encompassed the construction, operation and minority ownership of a 100 million gallon per day seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant to be located in northern Baja California, Mexico and accompanying pipelines to deliver water to the Mexican potable water system. As discussed

Through a series of transactions that began in paragraphs that follow, during 20152012, NSC purchased 20.1 hectares of land for approximately $21.1 million on which the scope of the Projectproposed Project’s plant was definedto be constructed.

Following an assessment by the State of Baja, California (the “State”) to consist of the need for such a first phase consisting of a 50 million gallon per daydesalination plant and a pipeline that connects to the Mexican potable water infrastructure and a second phase consistingpassage of an additional 50 million gallons of production capacity.

Through a series of transactions completed in 2012-2014, NSC purchased 20.1 hectares for approximately $20.6 million on which the proposed Project’s plant would be constructed.

In November 2012, NSC entered into a lease with an effective term of 20-years from the date of full operation of the Project’s desalination plant, with the Comisión Federal de Electricidad for approximately 5,000 square meters of land on which it plans to construct the water intake and discharge works for the plant. The amounts due on this lease are payable in Mexican pesos at an amount that is currently equivalent to approximately $20,000 per month. This lease may be cancelled by NSC should NSC ultimately not proceed with the Project.

In August 2014, the State enacted new legislation to regulate Public-Private Association projects which involve the type of long-term contract between a public-sector authority and a private party that NSC is seeking to complete the Project. Pursuant to this newenabling legislation in January 2015, NSC submitted an expression of interest for its project to the Secretary of Infrastructure and Urban Development of the State of Baja California (“SIDUE”). SIDUE accepted NSC’s expression of interest and requested that NSC submit a detailed proposal for the Project that complies with requirements of the new legislation. NSC submitted this detailed proposal (the “APP Proposal”) to SIDUE in late March 2015. The new legislation required that such proposal be evaluated by SIDUE and submitted to the Public-Private Association Projects State Committee (the “APP Committee”) for review and authorization. If the Project was authorized the State would be required to conduct a public tender for the Project.

In response to its APP Proposal, in September 2015 NSC received a letter dated June 30, 2015 from the Director General of the Comisión Estatal del Agua de Baja California (“CEA”), the State agency with responsibility for the Project, stating that (i) the Project is in the public interest with high social benefits and is consistent with the objectives of the State development plan; and (ii) that the Project should proceed, and the required public tender should be conducted. In November 2015, the State officially commenced the required public tender for the Project, the scope of which the State defined as a first phase to be operational in 2019 consisting of a 50 million gallon per day plant and a pipeline that connects to the Mexican potable water infrastructure and a second phase to be operational in 2024 consisting of an additional 50 million gallons per day of production capacity.Project. A consortium (the “Consortium”) comprised of NSC, Suez Medio Ambiente México, S.A. de C.V. (“Suez MA”),

16

a subsidiary of SUEZ International, S.A.S., and NuWater S.A.P.I. de C.V. and Degremont S.A. de C.V. (the “Consortium”(“NuWater”) submitted its tender for the Project on thein April 21, 2016 tender submission deadline date set by the State.

15

The Company has acknowledged since the inception of the Project that, due to the amount of capital the Project requires, NSC will ultimately need an equity partner or partners for the Project. Consequently, NSC’s tender to the State for the Project was based upon the following: (i) NSC will sell or otherwise transfer the land and other Project assets to a new company (“Newco”) that would build and own the Project; (ii) NSC’s potential partners would provide the majority of the equity for the Project and thereby would own the majority interest in Newco; (iii) NSC would maintain a minority ownership position in Newco; and (iv) Newco would enter into a long-term management and technical services contract for the Project with an entity partially owned by NSC or another Company subsidiary.

On June 15, 2016, the State designated the Consortium as the winner of the tender process for the Project.

OnIn August 17, 2016, NSC and NuWater incorporated Newcoa new company under the name Aguas de Rosarito S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“AdR”), a special project company, to completepursue completion of the Project and executed a shareholders agreement for AdR agreeing among other things that (i) AdR would purchase the land and other Project assets from NSC on the date that the Project begins commercial operationsoperation and (ii) AdR would enter into a Management and Technical Services Agreement with NSC effective on the first day that the Project begins commercial operations. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,operation. NSC initially owned 99.6% of the equity of AdR. In February 2018, CW-Holdings acquired the remaining 0.4% ownership in AdR from NuWater.

On August 22, 2016, the Public Private Partnership Agreement for public private partnership number 002/2015, contest number SIDUE-CEA-APP-2015-002 (“APPthe Project (the “APP Contract”), was executed between AdR, CEA,the State Water Commission of Baja, California (“CEA”), and the Government of Baja California, as represented by the Secretary of Planning and Finance and the Public Utilities Commission of Tijuana (“CESPT”). The APP Contract requiresrequired AdR to design, construct, finance and operate a seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant (and accompanying aqueducts)aqueduct) with a capacity of up to 100 million gallons per day in two phases: the first with a capacity of 50 million gallons per day and an aqueduct to the Mexican potablepublic water system in Tijuana, Baja California;California and the second phase with a capacity of 50 million gallons per day and an aqueduct to a second delivery point in Tijuana.day. The first phase mustwas to be operational within 36 months of commencing construction and the second phase mustwas to be operational by the end of 2024.January 2025. The APP Contract further requiresrequired AdR to operate and maintain the plant and aqueductsaqueduct for a period of 37 years starting from the commencement of operation of the first phase. At the end of the operating period, the plant and aqueducts will beaqueduct would have been transferred to CEA.

The total Project cost forAPP Contract was subsequently amended by the parties in June 2018 to increase the scope of Phase 1 is expectedand to be approximately 9.1 billion Mexican pesos. Annual revenuesallow for changes in the water tariff due to the changes in the exchange rate for the peso, interest rates and construction costs that had and would occur from the Project for Phase 1 are expected to be approximately 1.79 billion Mexican pesos. Water rates underdate the APP Contract are indexedwas signed to the Mexican national consumer price index over its term. Electrical energy costs incurreddate construction commenced.

On June 29, 2020, AdR received a letter (the “Letter”) from the Director General of CEA and the Director General of CESPT terminating the APP Contract. The Letter requested that AdR provide an inventory of the assets that currently comprise the “Project Works” (as defined in the APP Contract) for the purpose of acknowledging and paying the non-recoverable expenses made by AdR in connection with the Project, with such reimbursement to desalinatebe calculated in accordance with the terms of the APP Contract. The applicable law required that this list of non-recoverable expenses made by AdR in connection with the Project be submitted to CEA and deliver water are treatedCESPT within 20 business days from the date of receipt of the Letter. AdR initiated an amparo claim before a federal district court in Tijuana, Baja California, to challenge the provision of the applicable law requiring submittal of the list of non-recoverable expenses within the 20 business days term, as AdR considered such term to be unreasonably short due to the magnitude of the Project and the scope of supporting documentation required to be provided with respect to the non-recoverable expenses. AdR obtained an initial provisional suspension of the lapsing of such 20-day term from the court, and on August 10, 2020 the court made such suspension definitive until the completion of the amparo trial. As such, the 20-day term for filing the list of non-recoverable expenses was suspended. Therefore, on August 28, 2020, AdR submitted their list of non-recoverable expenses, including those of NSC, to CEA and CESPT which was comprised of 51,144,525 United States dollars and an additional 137,333,114 Mexican pesos. In February 2021, AdR withdrew this amparo claim, and such withdrawal was accepted by the federal district court in Tijuana. To date, AdR has not received a formal response from CEA or CESPT to its submission of non-recoverable expenses.

The Company believes CW-Cooperatief, as a pass-through chargeNetherlands company, has certain rights relating to CEA, subjectits investments in NSC and AdR under the Agreement on Promotion, Encouragement and Reciprocal Protection of Investments between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the United Mexican States entered into force as of October 1, 1999 (the “Treaty”). On April 16, 2021, CW-Cooperatief submitted a letter to efficiency guarantees. AdRthe President of Mexico and other Mexican federal government officials alleging that the State’s termination of the APP Contract constituted a breach by Mexico of its international obligations under the Treaty, entitling CW-Cooperatief to full reparation, including monetary damages. This letter invited Mexico to seek a resolution of this investment dispute through consultation and negotiation, but stated that if the dispute cannot be resolved in this manner, CW-Cooperatief elects to refer the dispute to the International Centre for the Settlement of International Disputes for arbitration, as provided for in the Treaty. On June 29, 2021, the Mexican Ministry of Economy responded to CW-Cooperatief’s letter and proposed to hold a consultation meeting. Two such meetings were held on July 9, 2021 and August 2, 2021 on a confidential basis, without a resolution of the Company’s investment dispute.

17

​On February 9, 2022, CW-Cooperatief, filed a Request for Arbitration with the International Centre for Settlement of International Disputes requesting that the United Mexican States pay CW-Cooperatief damages in excess of US$51 million plus MXN$137 million (with the exact amount to be quantified in the proceedings), plus fees, costs and pre- and post-award interest.

CW-Cooperatief intends to pursue vigorously the relief sought in the arbitration, in addition to pursuing all other legal remedies and courses of action available under the operative contracts and applicable law with respect to its rights, damages, fees and expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurances that CW-Cooperatief will be able to obtain the relief sought in the arbitration, and CW-Cooperatief will incur legal and other arbitration-related expenses that the Company expects will be material to raise Mexican peso denominated debt financing through a consortium ledits consolidated results of operations and cash flows.

During July 2022, the State initiated discussions with the Company to potentially resolve the issues related to the cancellation by the North American Development Bank, which also provided financial advisory servicesgovernment of the Rosarito desalination plant contract as well as potentially addressing the State’s acute water shortage issues. The Company cannot presently determine the outcome of the discussions and the Company has not terminated its efforts to obtain relief through the international arbitration process as a result of these discussions.

The Company cannot provide any assurances that it will be able to obtain reimbursement for any expenses or investments made with respect to the Consortium throughProject.

As a result of the bidding process and contract negotiations.

Thecancellation of the APP Contract, does not become effective untilin 2020 the following conditions are met:

·the State has established and registered various payment trusts, guaranties and bank credit lines for specific use by the Project;
·the CEA has obtained the rightsCompany discontinued all development activities associated with the Project and commenced active marketing efforts to sell the land NSC purchased for the Project. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of CW-Cooperatief, NSC and AdR, as well as all Project development expenses and the costs for legal and administrative activities to pursue reimbursement from the relevant federal authority to take and desalinate seawater and distribute it for municipal use;
·various agreements between the CEA, the payment trusts and the CESPT have been executed;
·AdR has obtained all rights of ways required for the Phase 1 aqueduct;
·AdR has obtained permission from the relevant federal authority to discharge the residual water from the Project’s desalination plant; and
·all equity and debt financing agreements necessary to provide the funding to AdR for the first phase of the Project have been executed.

On December 30, 2016, the Congress of the State of Baja California Mexico passed Decreto #57 which, among other things, ratified and authorizedfollowing the executioncancellation of the APP Contract.  Earlier this year, following consultations between representativesContract, have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

6. Leases

The Company leases consist primarily of leases for office and warehouse space. For leases with terms greater than twelve months, the related asset and obligation are recorded at the present value of the Statelease payments over the term. Many of Baja California andthese leases contain rental escalation clauses which are factored into the Ministry of Financedetermination of the Federal Governmentlease payments when appropriate. When available, the lease payments are discounted using the rate implicit in the lease; however, the

18

Company’s current leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is estimated to discount the lease payments based on information available at the lease commencement.

These leases contain both lease and non-lease components, which the Company has elected to treat as a single lease component. The Company elected not to recognize leases that have an original lease term, including reasonably certain amendmentsrenewal or purchase obligations, of twelve months or less in its condensed consolidated balance sheets for all classes of underlying assets. Lease costs for such short-term leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The land used by the Company to Decreto #57 were requiredoperate its seawater desalination plants in order to comply with recent changesthe Cayman Islands and The Bahamas is owned by the Company or leased to the Federal Fiscal Discipline Law.  In addition, duringCompany for immaterial annual amounts and are not included in the courselease amounts presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

All lease assets denominated in a foreign currency are measured using the exchange rate at the commencement of its recent due diligencethe lease. All lease liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are remeasured using the exchange rate as of the condensed consolidated balance sheet date.

7. Fair value

As of September 30, 2017, AdR has paid approximately $665,000 for deposits on, or purchases of, rights of way for the Phase 1 aqueduct, which are included in other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Both the exchange rate for the Mexico peso relative to the dollar and general macroeconomic conditions in Mexico have varied since the U.S. Presidential election in November 2016. These changes could adversely impact the estimated construction, operating, and financing costs for the Project. The APP Contract and its underlying legislation allow for the parties to negotiate (but do not guarantee) modifications to the water tariff in the event of such significant macroeconomic condition changes. On February 10, 2017, AdR submitted proposals to the CEA requesting an increase to the water tariff to compensate for changes in foreign exchange rates, lending rates and certain changes in law which have impacted the Project. If AdR is unable to obtain this requested increase in the water tariff, it may be unable to obtain the debt and equity financing required for the Project. The Company is currently unable to determine whether or not such water tariff increase will be approved.

16

If AdR is ultimately unable to proceed with the Project, the land NSC has purchased and the right of way deposits may lose their strategic importance as the site for the Project and consequently may decline in value. If AdR does not proceed with the Project, NSC may ultimately be unable to sell this land or recoup their right of way deposits for an amount at least equal to its current carrying value of approximately $21.2 million ($20.56 million for the land and $665,000 for the right of way deposits), and any loss on sale of the land, or impairment loss NSC may be required to record as a result of a decrease in the fair value could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations.

Included in the Company’s results of operations are general and administrative expenses from NSC and AdR, consisting of organizational, legal, accounting, engineering, consulting and other costs relating to Project development activities. Such expenses amounted to approximately $864,000 and $606,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $2,469,000 and $2,248,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The assets and liabilities of NSC and AdR included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets amounted to approximately $22.8 million and $371,000, respectively, as of September 30, 2017 and approximately $22.3 million and $221,000 respectively, as of December 31, 2016.

EWG Litigation

Immediately following CW-Cooperatief’s acquisition of its initial 50% ownership in NSC, the remaining 50% ownership interest in NSC was held by an unrelated company, Norte Sur Agua, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“NSA”). NSA subsequently transferred ownership of half of its shares in NSC to EWG Water LLC (“EWG”) and the other half of its shares in NSC to Alejandro de la Vega (the “individual shareholder”). In February 2012, the Company paid $300,000 to enter into an agreement (the “Option Agreement”) that provided it with an option, exercisable through February 7, 2014, to purchase the shares of NSC owned by the individual shareholder for a price of $1.0 million along with an immediate power of attorney to vote those shares. Such shares constituted 25% of the ownership of NSC as of February 2012. In May 2013, NSC repaid a $5.7 million loan payable to CW-Cooperatief by issuing additional shares of its stock. As a result of this share issuance to CW-Cooperatief, the Company acquired 99.99% of the ownership of NSC. The Option Agreement contained an anti-dilution provision that required the Company to issue new shares in NSC of an amount sufficient to maintain the individual shareholder’s 25% ownership interest in NSC if (i) any new shares of NSC were issued subsequent to the execution of the Option Agreement; and (ii) the Company did not exercise its share purchase option by February 7, 2014. The Company exercised its option and paid the $1.0 million to the individual shareholder to purchase the Option Agreement shares in February 2014.

In October 2015, the Company learned that EWG filed a lawsuit against the individual shareholder, NSC, NSA, CW-Cooperatief, Ricardo del Monte Nunez, Carlos Eduardo Ahumada Arruit, Luis de Angitia Becerra, and the Public Registry of Commerce of Tijuana, Baja California in the Civil Court located in Tecate, Baja California, Mexico.

In this lawsuit, EWG challenged, among other things, the capital investment transactions that increased the Company’s ownership interest in NSC to 99.99%. EWG requested that the court, as a preliminary matter: (a) suspend the effectiveness of the challenged transactions; (b) order public officials in Mexico to record the pendency of the lawsuit in the public records; and (c) appoint an inspector for NSA and NSC to oversee its commercial activities. The court granted, ex-parte, the preliminary relief sought by EWG, which resulted in the placement of inscriptions for the lawsuit on NSC’s public records.

EWG also sought an order directing, among other things: (i) NSA, NSC and CW-Cooperatief to refrain from carrying out any transactions with respect to the Project; and (ii) NSA, NSC and CW-Cooperatief, and the partners thereof, to refrain from transferring any interests in NSA, NSC and CW-Cooperatief.

On April 5, 2016, NSC filed a motion for reconsideration with the Tecate, Mexico court asking, among other things, that the court; (i) reverse its order to record the pendency of the lawsuit in the public records; (ii) cancel the appointment of the inspector; and (iii) allow NSC to provide a counter-guarantee to suspend the effects of the court’s order regarding the challenged transactions. On April 26, 2016, the Tecate, Mexico court issued an interlocutory judgment (i) ordering the cancellation of the inscriptions on NSC’s public records; and (ii) rejecting NSC’s motion for cancellation of the appointment of the inspector.

On April 26, 2016, NSC filed a full answer to EWG’s claims rejecting every claim made by EWG. The court’s response on this matter is pending.

On May 17, 2016, NSC filed a claim with the Third District Court in Matters of Amparo and Federal Trials in the City of Tijuana, Baja California (the “Amparo Court”) challenging the Tecate, Mexico court ex-parte order which appointed an inspector over NSC’s commercial activities. On July 29, 2016, the Amparo Court found that such appointment is unconstitutional and reversed the Tecate, Mexico court’s appointment of an inspector.

On September 6, 2016, the Tecate, Mexico court issued a decree granting the counter-guaranty requested by NSC. Such counter-guaranty was fixed in the amount of 300,000 Mexican pesos and was given to the court on October 13, 2016 at which time all remaining ex-parte restrictions on NSC related to the challenged transactions were suspended.

On May 2, 2017, the Tecate, Mexico court declared that the initial filing of this lawsuit had expired due to EWG’s lack of activity with respect to certain actions required to proceed to trial. However, EWG can appeal the expiration or refile the lawsuit.

8. Fair value measurements

As of September 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016,2021, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued compensation, dividends payable and other current liabilities the notes payable to related party and dividends payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Management considers that the carrying amounts for loans receivable as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 approximate their fair value as their interest rates approximate market rates.

Under US GAAP, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. US GAAP guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s

20

assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

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

Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The Company reviews its fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis.

8. Contingencies

COVID-19

The worldwide coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic was formally recognized by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. In response to this pandemic, the governments of the countries in which the Company operates - the Cayman Islands, The Bahamas, and the United States - implemented preventative measures to slow the spread of COVID-19, measures which had profound adverse consequences for the economies of those countries. Tourism, a major economic

driver for the Cayman Islands, temporarily ceased due to closing of the country to tourist arrivals by air and sea travel and has yet to return to pre-pandemic levels. Tourist arrivals to The Bahamas by air and sea also declined significantly due to the pandemic. Overall economic activity in the United States was adversely affected by COVID-19.

9. Contingencies

As a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economies of the countries in which the Company operates, the Company experienced decreases in consolidated revenue, net income and cash flows from operations as compared to pre-pandemic periods. The economic downturn arising initially from the COVID-19 pandemic and furthered by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and other factors has further adversely affected the Company’s supply chain and the markets for the Company’s products and services. A continuation of the current weak economic conditions could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Cayman Water

The Company sells water through its retail operations under a license issued in July 1990 by the Cayman Islands government (the “1990 license”) that grantsgranted Cayman Water the exclusive right to provide potable water to customers within its licensed service area. As discussed below, thisAlthough the 1990 license was setnot expressly extended after January 2018, the Company continues to expiresupply water under the terms of the 1990 license, as further discussed in July 2010 but has since been extended while negotiations for a new license take place.the following paragraph. Pursuant to the 1990 license, Cayman Water has the exclusive right to produce potable water and distribute it by pipeline to its licensed service area, which consists of two of the three most populated areas of Grand Cayman theIsland: Seven Mile Beach and West Bay areas.Bay. For the three months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, the Company generated approximately 33%25% and 38%32%, respectively, of its consolidated revenuesrevenue and 48%44% and 52%44%, respectively, of its consolidated gross profit from the retail water operations conducted pursuant to Cayman Water’s exclusiveunder the 1990 license. For the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, the Company generated approximately 38%29% and 40%33%, respectively, of its consolidated revenuesrevenue and 52%45% and 55%47%, respectively, of its consolidated gross profit from the retail water operations conducted pursuant to Cayman Water’s exclusiveunder the 1990 license.

The 1990 license was originally scheduled to expire in July 2010 but has beenwas extended several times by the Cayman Islands government in order to provide the parties with additional time to negotiate the terms of a new license agreement. The most recent express extension of the 1990 license expiresexpired on January 31, 2018.

The Company continues to operate under the terms of the 1990 license, providing water services to the level and quality specified in the 1990 license and in accordance with its understanding of its legal obligations, treating those obligations set forth in the 1990 license as operative notwithstanding the expiration of the express extension. The Company continues to pay the royalty required under the 1990 license.

In October 2016, the Government of the Cayman Islands passed legislation which created a new utilities regulation and competition office (“OfReg”). OfReg is an independent and accountable regulatory body with a view of protecting the rights of consumers, encouraging affordable utility services and promoting competition. OfReg, which began operations in January 2017, has the ability to supervise, monitor and regulate multiple utility undertakings and markets. Supplemental legislation was passed by the Government of the Cayman Islands in April 2017, which transferred responsibility for the economic regulation of the water utility sector fromand the Water Authority-Cayman (the “WAC”) to OfReg. In July 2017,negotiations with the Company began negotiating with OfReg for a new retail license in the Cayman Islands and such negotiations are continuing.

Under its present license, Cayman Water pays a royalty to the government of 7.5% of its gross retail water sales revenues (excluding energy cost adjustments). The selling prices of water sold to its customers are determined by the license and vary depending upon the type and location of the customer and the monthly volume of water purchased. The license provides for an automatic adjustment for inflation or deflation on an annual basis, subject to temporary limited exceptions, and an automatic adjustment for the cost of electricity on a monthly basis. The WAC, on behalf of the government, previously reviewed and confirmed the calculations of the price adjustments for inflation and electricity costs. On July 7, 2017, the Company was advised by OfReg that regulatory responsibility for the water utility sector had been transferred from the WAC to OfReg effectivein May 22,2017. The Company began license negotiations with OfReg in July 2017 and that effective immediately all reviewssuch negotiations are ongoing. The Company has been informed during its retail license negotiations, both by OfReg and confirmations of calculations of the price adjustments for inflation and electricity costs will be performed by OfReg. If Cayman Water wants to adjust its prices for any reason other than inflation or electricity costs, Cayman Water has to request prior approval from the Cabinet ofpredecessor in these negotiations, that the Cayman Islands government. Disputes regarding price adjustments would be referredgovernment seeks to arbitration.

The Cayman Islands governmentrestructure the terms of its license in a manner that could ultimately offer a third party a license to service some or all of Cayman Water’s present service area. However, as set forth insignificantly reduce the existing license, “the Governor hereby agrees that upon the expiry of the term of this Licence or any extension thereof, he will not grant a licence or franchise to any other person or company for the processing, distribution, saleoperating income and supply of water within the Licence Area without having first offered such a licence or franchise tocash flows the Company on terms no less favourable than the terms offered to such other person or company.”

has historically generated from its retail license.

The Company is presently unable to determine what impact the resolution of its retail license negotiations will have on its cash flows,consolidated financial condition or results of operations but such resolution could result in a material reduction (or the loss) of the operating income and cash flows the Company has historically generated from itsCayman Water’s retail operations and could require the Company to record an impairment losslosses to reduce the carrying valuevalues of its goodwill.retail segment assets. Such impairment losslosses could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

CW-BelizeCW-Bahamas

By Statutory Instrument No. 81 of 2009, the Minister of Public Utilities of the government of Belize published an order, the Public Utility Provider Class Declaration Order, 2009 (the “Order”), which as of May 1, 2009 designated CW-Belize as a public utility provider under the laws of Belize. With this designation, the Public Utilities Commission of Belize (the “PUC”) has the authority to set the rates charged by CW-Belize and to otherwise regulate its activities. On November 1, 2010, CW-Belize received a formal complaintAs December 31, 2021, CW-Bahamas’ accounts receivable balances (which include accrued interest) due from the PUC alleging that CW-Belize was operating without a license under the terms of the Water Industry Act. CW-Belize applied for this license in December 2010. On July 29, 2011, the PUC issued the San Pedro Public Water Supply Quality and Security Complaint Order (the “Second Order”) which among other things requires that (i) CW-Belize and its customer jointly make a submission to the responsible Minister requesting that the area surrounding CW-Belize’s seawater abstraction wells be designated a forest reserve or national park and be designated a Controlled Area under section 58 of the Water Industry Act; (ii) CW-Belize submit an operations manual for CW-Belize’s desalination plant to the PUC for approval; (iii) CW-Belize and its customer modify the water supply agreement between the parties to (a) include new water quality parameters included in the Order and (b) cap the current exclusive water supply arrangement in the agreement at a maximum of 450,000 gallons per day; (iv) CW-Belize keep a minimum number of replacement seawater RO membranes in stock at all times; and (v) CW-Belize take possession of and reimburse the PUC for certain equipment which the PUC purchased from a third-party in late 2010. CW-Belize has applied for declaratory judgment and has been granted a temporary injunction to stay the enforcement of the Second Order by the PUC until such time as the Belize courts could hear the matter. The initial hearing on this matter was conducted on October 30 and 31, 2012 with an additional hearing on November 29, 2012. The ruling on this case is pending. The Company is presently unable to determine what impact the Order and the Second Order will have on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

CW-Bahamas

CW-Bahamas’ water supply agreements with the Water and Sewerage Corporation of The Bahamas ("WSC"(“WSC”) amounted to $21.5 million.

From time to time, CW-Bahamas has experienced delays in collecting its accounts receivable from the WSC. When these delays occur, the Company holds discussions and meetings with representatives of the WSC and The Bahamas government, and as a result, payment schedules are developed for its Blue Hills and Windsor plants requireWSC’s delinquent accounts receivable. All previous delinquent accounts receivable from the WSC, including accrued interest thereon, were eventually paid in full. Based upon this payment history, CW-Bahamas to guarantee delivery of a minimum quantity of water per week. If CW-Bahamas does not meet these minimums, it will behas never been required to payprovide an allowance for doubtful accounts for any of its accounts receivable, despite the periodic accumulation of significant delinquent balances.

In February 2022, CW-Bahamas received correspondence from the Ministry of Finance of the Government of the Bahamas that set forth a payment schedule providing for the gradual reduction over the course of 2022 of the CW-Bahamas' delinquent accounts receivable due from the WSC. Such correspondence also indicated that the Government intends to return all of CW-Bahamas’ accounts receivable from the WSC for the difference between the minimum and actual gallons delivered at a per gallon rate equal to the price per gallon that WSC is currently paying under the respective agreement. The Blue Hills and Windsor agreements require CW-Bahamas to deliver 63.0 million gallons and 16.8 million gallons of water each week, respectively.current status.

Aerex Put/Call Options

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of 51% of Aerex in February 2016, the Company acquired from Aerex’s former sole shareholder an option to compel such shareholder to sell, and granted to such shareholder an option to require the Company to purchase, the shareholder’s remaining 49% ownership interest in Aerex at a price based upon the fair market value of Aerex at the time of the exercise of the option. The options are exercisable on or after the third anniversary of the February 2016 acquisition date. The fair value of the net liability arising from these put/call options was $357,000 and $680,000 asAs of September 30, 20172022, CW-Bahamas’ accounts receivable from the WSC amounted to $15.2 million.

In its latest report dated October 6, 2022, Moody’s Investor Services (“Moody’s) downgraded the Government of The Bahamas’ long-term issuer and December 31, 2016,senior unsecured ratings to B1 from Ba3. Moody’s also lowered The Bahamas’ local currency ceiling to Baa3 from Baa2 and its foreign currency ceiling to Ba1 from Baa. Based upon its review of this Moody’s report, the Company continues to believe no allowance for doubtful accounts is required for CW-Bahamas’ accounts receivable from the WSC.

9. Related party transactions

The Company, through PERC and the services segment, purchases engineering and technology support services from various companies with a minority shareholder in those companies who is also a minority shareholder of PERC. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company made total purchases of services from these companies of approximately $685,000 and $105,000, respectively, and isapproximately $2,166,000 and $390,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The total amount of accounts payable outstanding to these companies as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, was approximately $569,000 and $164,000, respectively.

10. Impact of recent accounting standards

Adoption of new accounting standards:

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11,Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU 2015-11 applies to all inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out or average cost. The guidance requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17,Income Taxes (Topic 740), Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. ASU 2015-17 requires net deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet and eliminates the classification between current and noncurrent amounts. ASU No. 2015-17 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07,Investments- Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting, which eliminates the requirement to apply the equity method of accounting retrospectively when a reporting entity obtains significant influence over a previously held investment. ASU 2016-07 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2017 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2016-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects related to the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, statutory tax withholding requirements and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

None.

Effect of newly issued but not yet effective accounting standards:

None.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 prescribes a five-step framework in accounting for revenues from contracts within its scope, including (a) identification of the contract, (b) identification of the performance obligations under the contract, (c) determination of the transaction price, (d) allocation of the transaction price to the identified performance obligations and (e) recognition of revenues as the identified performance obligations are satisfied. ASU 2014-09 also prescribes additional disclosures and financial statement presentations. ASU 2014-09 may be adopted retrospectively or under a modified retrospective method where the cumulative effect is recognized at the date of initial application. This amendment was originally effective January 1, 2017. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date by one year to January 1, 2018. Early application is permitted but not before January 1, 2017.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08,Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), that amends the principal versus agent guidance in ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-08 clarifies that the analysis must focus on whether the entity has control of the goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. ASU 2016-08 also provides additional guidance about how to apply the control principle when services are provided and when goods or services are combined with other goods or services.

20

23

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10,Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, that amends the revenue guidance in ASU 2014-09 on identifying performance obligations and accounting for licensesTable of intellectual property. ASU 2016-10 changed the FASB's previous proposals on renewals of right-to-use licenses and contractual restrictions. The effective date of the standard for the Company will coincide with ASU 2014-09 during the first quarter 2018.Contents

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-11,Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting. ASU 2016-11 rescinds several SEC Staff Announcements that are codified in Topic 605, including, among other items, guidance relating to accounting for shipping and handling fees and freight services.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which clarifies implementation guidance around collectability, sales taxes collected from customers, noncash considerations, contract modifications at transition, and completed contracts at transition.

In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20,Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which amended the guidance on performance obligation disclosures and makes technical corrections and improvements to the new revenue standard. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, and permits early adoption on a limited basis. The update permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method.

The effective dates of ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-11, ASU 2016-12, and ASU 2016-20 are the same as ASU 2015-14 discussed above. The Company intends to elect the modified retrospective method to all active contracts on the date of initial application, which will involve applying the guidance retrospectively only to the most current period presented in the financial statements and recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance as an adjustment to the January 1, 2018 opening balance of retained earnings at the date of initial application. Based on an analysis the Company has performed, the adoption of ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01,Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial assets and financial liabilities. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017 and, for most provisions, is effective using the cumulative-effect transition approach. Early application is permitted for certain provisions. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842), which provides guidance for accounting for leases. The new guidance requires companies to recognize the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leased assets. The accounting guidance for lessors will remain relatively largely unchanged. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of this amendment will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company expects that the adoption of the new lease standard will have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet due to the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities principally for certain leases currently accounted for as operating leases.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15,Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which clarifies how certain cash receipts and payments are presented in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04,Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU 2017-04 should be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

11. Subsequent events

In October 2022, the Company exercised its option to purchase the shares constituting the remaining 39% minority interest in PERC at a price to be determined by an independent valuation, which is currently in-process.

The Company’s managementCompany evaluated subsequent events through the time of the filing of this report on Form 10-Q. Other than as disclosed in these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company’s managementCompany is not aware of any significant events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this report that would have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenuesrevenue and expenses during the reporting period. Our actual results could differ significantly from such estimates and assumptions.

Certain of our accounting estimates or assumptions constitute “critical accounting estimates” for us because:

·the nature of these estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change; and
·the impact of the estimates and assumptions on our financial condition and results of operations is material.

Our critical accounting estimates relate to (i) the valuations of our (i) equity investment in our affiliate OC-BVI; (ii) goodwill, intangible assets and intangiblelong-lived assets; and (iii) long-lived assets.

Valuation of Investment in OC-BVI

We account for(ii) revenue recognition on our investment in OC-BVI under the equity method of accounting for investments in common stock. This method requires recognition of a loss on an equity investment that is other than temporary,construction and indicates that a current fair value of an equity investment that is less than its carrying amount may indicate a loss in the value of the investment. While a quoted market price for OC-BVI’s stock is not available, due to the uncertainties (specifically the Baughers Bay litigation and the possible expiration without renewal of the Bar Bay agreement) associated with OC-BVI’s future cash flows, we tested the carrying value of our investment in OC-BVI (which exceeded our proportionate share of OC-BVI’s net assets by an amount accounted for as goodwill) for impairment in 2016 and prior years.

We estimated the fair value of our investment in OC-BVI through the use of the discounted cash flow method, which relied upon projections of OC-BVI’s operating results, working capital and capital expenditures. The use of this method required us to estimate OC-BVI’s future cash flows from its Bar Bay plant and the resolution of the Baughers Bay litigation.

22

We estimated OC-BVI’s cash flows from its Bar Bay plant by (i) identifying various possible future scenarios which included the execution of a new agreement for the Bar Bay plant as well as the termination of Bar Bay plant operations upon the scheduled expiration of the Bar Bay agreement in March 2017; (ii) estimating the cash flows associated with each possible scenario; and (iii) assigning a probability to each scenario. We similarly estimated the cash flows OC-BVI would receive from the BVI government in connection with the final court rulings on the Baughers Bay litigation (which were issued in 2012) by assigning probabilities to different scenarios. The resulting probability-weighted sum represented our best estimate of future cash flows to be generated by OC-BVI.

The identification of the possible scenarios for the Bar Bay plant agreement and the Baughers Bay litigation, the projections of cash flows for each scenario, and the assignment of relative probabilities to each scenario all represented significant estimates made by us. While we used our best judgment in identifying these possible scenarios, estimating the expected cash flows for these scenarios and assigning relative probabilities to each scenario, these estimates were by their nature highly subjective and were also subject to material change by our management over time based upon new information or changes in circumstances.

After updating our probability-weighted estimates of OC-BVI’s future cash flows and our resulting estimate of the fair value of our investment in OC-BVI, we recorded impairment losses for our investment in OC-BVI for 2016 and other prior years. Such impairment losses amounted to $875,000 and $925,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and $925,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016.

In February 2017, the BVI government executed a 14-year extension to water supply agreement for OC-BVI’s Bar Bay plant. Based upon the execution of this extension, we believe further impairment losses to reduce the carrying value of our investment in OC-BVI will not be required unless the BVI government fails to comply with the terms of the Bar Bay extension or a presently unforeseen event occurs that would impact the future cash flows we expect OC-BVI to generate.

life are not amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually.annually or upon the identification of a triggering event. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values and reviewed periodically for impairment. We evaluate the possible impairment of goodwill annually as part of our reporting process for the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Management identifies our reporting units, which consist of our retail, bulk, services, and manufacturing operations, and determines the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units. We determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare these fair values to the carrying amounts of the reporting units. To the extent the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, we are required to perform the second step of the impairment test, as this is an indication that the reporting unit’s goodwill may be impaired. In this step, we compare the implied fair value of each reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of such goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to all the assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the implied fair value is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is recorded.

For the year ended December 31, 2016,2021, we estimated the fair value of our reporting units by applying the discounted cash flow method, the guideline public company method, and the mergers and acquisitions method.

The discounted cash flow methodwhich relied upon seven-year discrete projections of operating results, working capital and capital expenditures, along with a terminal value subsequent to the discrete period. These seven-year projections were based upon historical and anticipated future results, general economic and market conditions, and considered the impact of planned business and operational strategies. The discount rates for the calculations represented the estimated cost of capital for market participants at the time of each analysis. In preparing these seven-year projections for our retail unit we (i) identified possible outcomes of our on-going negotiations with the Cayman Islands government for the renewal of our retail license; (ii) estimated the cash flows associated with each possible outcome; and (iii) assigned a probability to each outcome and associated estimated cash flows. The weighted average estimated cash flows were then summed to determine the overall fair value of the retail unit under this method. The possible outcomes used for the discounted cash flow method for the retail unit included the implementation of a rate of return on invested capital model methodology for determining water rates proposed by Cayman Islands government representatives for the new retail license.

We also estimated the fair value of each of our reporting units for the year ended December 31, 2016 through reference to2021 by applying the quoted market prices for our Company and guideline companies and the market multiples implied by guideline merger and acquisition transactions.public company method.

23

We weighted the fair values estimated for each of our reporting units under each method and summed such weighted fair values to estimate the overall fair value for each reporting unit. The respective weightings we applied to each method as offor the year ended December 31, 20162021 were as follows:80% to the discounted cash flow method and 20% to the guideline public company method.

Method Retail  Bulk  Manufacturing 
Discounted cash flow  80%  80%  80%
Guideline public company  10%  10%  10%
Mergers and acquisitions  10%  10%  10%
   100%  100%  100%

The fair values we estimated for our retail, bulk, services and manufacturing reporting units exceeded their carrying amounts by 123%32%, 41%51%, 15% and 26%15%, respectively, as of December 31, 2016.2021.

We also performed an analysis reconciling the conclusions of value for our reporting units to our market capitalization at December 31, 2016. This reconciliation resulted in no implied control premium for our Company.

Our manufacturing unit consists of the operations of Aerex, a company in whichIn February 2016, we acquired a 51% ownership interest in February 2016.Aerex, our manufacturing subsidiary. In connection with this acquisition, we recorded goodwill of $8,035,211. Aerex’s actual results of operations for the six months in the months2016 following ourthe acquisition fell significantly short of the projected results that were included in the overall cash flow projections we utilized to determine the purchase price for Aerex and the fair values of its assets and liabilities. Due to this shortfall in Aerex’s results of operations, we updatedtested our projections for Aerex’s future cash flows and tested Aerex’smanufacturing reporting unit’s goodwill for possible impairment as of September 30, 2016 by estimating its fair value using the discounted cash flow method. As a result of this impairment testing, we determined that the carrying value of our Aerexmanufacturing reporting unit’s goodwill exceeded its fair value and recorded an impairment loss of $1,750,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to reduce the carrying value of this goodwill to $6,285,211. As part of our annual impairment testing of goodwill performed during the fourth quarter, in 2017 we updated our projections for Aerex’s future cash flows, determined that the carrying value of our manufacturing reporting unit’s goodwill exceeded its fair value, and recorded an impairment loss of $1,400,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 to further reduce the carrying value of this goodwill to $4,885,211.

Approximately 80% of Aerex’s revenue, and 89% of Aerex’s gross profit, for the year ended December 31, 2020 were generated from sales to one customer. While Aerex sells various products to this customer, Aerex’s revenue from this customer has historically been derived primarily from one specialized product. In October 2020, this customer informed Aerex that, for inventory management purposes, it was suspending its purchases of the specialized product from Aerex following 2020 for a period of approximately one year. This customer informed Aerex at that time that it expected to recommence its purchases of the specialized product from Aerex beginning with the first quarter of 2022. As a result of this anticipated loss of revenue for Aerex, we updated our projections for our manufacturing reporting unit’s future cash flows. Such projections assumed, in part, that Aerex’s major customer would recommence its purchases from Aerex in 2022 but at a reduced aggregate amount, as compared to 2020. Based upon these updated projections, we tested our manufacturing reporting unit’s goodwill for possible impairment as of December 31, 2020 using the discounted cash flow and guideline public company methods, with a weighting of 80% and 20% applied to these two methods, respectively. As a result of these impairment tests, we determined that the estimated fair value of our manufacturing reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 31% as of December 31, 2020.

26

In late July 2021, this former major customer communicated to Aerex that it expected to recommence its purchases of the specialized product from Aerex in 2022 and subsequent years, but informed Aerex that such purchases would be at substantially reduced annual amounts, as compared to the amounts it had purchased from Aerex in 2020 and prior years. Our updated sales estimate for this customer based on this new information was substantially below the sales we anticipated to this customer for 2022 and subsequent years that we used in the discounted cash flow projections we prepared for purposes of testing our manufacturing reporting unit’s goodwill for possible impairment as of December 31, 2020. Furthermore, Aerex’s efforts to replace the revenue previously generated from this customer with revenue from existing and new customers have been adversely impacted by the continuing negative economic conditions (caused in part by the COVID-19 pandemic) which have increased Aerex’s raw material costs, resulted in raw material shortages and extended delivery times for such materials, and also adversely affected the overall financial condition of Aerex’s current and prospective customers. Accordingly, in light of this new information from Aerex’s former major customer, and the on-going weak economic conditions that we believed would continue through 2022, we updated our projections of future cash flows for the manufacturing reporting unit and tested its goodwill for possible impairment as of June 30, 2021 using the discounted cash flow and guideline public company methods, with a weighting of 80% and 20% applied to these two methods, respectively. Based upon this testing, we determined that the carrying value of our manufacturing reporting unit exceeded its fair value by $2.9 million, and we recorded an impairment loss to reduce our manufacturing reporting unit’s goodwill by this amount for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

We believe the inherent uncertainties associated with the accounting estimates and assumptions we use for our estimates of our reporting units’ fair values have increased due to the current, less predictable economic conditions, which have resulted in increasing raw material prices, extended and unexpected delays in the procurement and delivery of our raw materials, and have also, we believe, adversely affected our customers. Should interest rates rise significantly in the future we would likely be required to increase the discount rate we use under the discounted cash flow method we use to estimate the fair values of our reporting units, and such increased discount rate in and of itself could decrease the estimated fair value of our reporting units under the discounted cash flow method.

Based upon our estimation prepared as of December 31, 2021, the fair value of our manufacturing reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by only 15%. If we determine in the future that Aerex’s discounted future cash inflows will be less than our present expectations, we may be required to record additional impairment losses to reduce the remaining carrying valuevalues as of September 30, 2022 of our Aerexmanufacturing reporting unit’s goodwill in future periods if we determine it likely that Aerex’sof $1,985,211 and its remaining unamortized intangible assets balances of $777,778 recorded as a result of the acquisition of Aerex. Any such impairment losses could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations will fall short of our most recent projections of its future cash flows.

Long-lived assets

We review the carrying amounts of our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, we recognize an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measure the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and fair value.

On June 29, 2020, our Mexico subsidiary, AdR, received a letter from the State of Baja California (the “State”) terminating AdR’s contract with the State involving the construction and operation of a desalination plant in Rosarito California and accompanying aqueduct to deliver the water produced by this plant to the Mexican public water system. As a result of the cancellation of this contract, we recorded an impairment loss for rights of way acquired for the contract’s proposed aqueduct of approximately ($3.0 million) in 2020.

Through our former subsidiary, PT Consolidated Water Bali (“CW-Bali”), we built and operated a seawater reverse osmosis plant with a productive capacity of approximately 264,000 gallons per day located in Nusa Dua, one of the primary tourist areas of Bali, Indonesia. We recorded operating losses for CW-Bali as the sales volumes for its plant were insufficient to cover its operating costs. In 2017 we determined, based upon probability-weighted scenarios for CW-Bali’s future undiscounted cash flows, that the carrying values of CW-Bali’s long-lived assets and our investment in CW-Bali

27

were not recoverable. Consequently, we recorded impairment losses of ($1.6 million) in 2017 to reduce the carrying values of these assets to their fair values.

Construction and Manufacturing Contract Revenue Recognition

We design, construct, and sell desalination infrastructure through DesalCo, which serves customers in the Cayman Islands, The Bahamas, and the British Virgin Islands. We design, construct, and sell wastewater and water reuse infrastructure in the U.S. through PERC. Aerex, is a custom and specialty manufacturer in the U.S. of water treatment-related systems and products applicable to commercial, municipal and industrial water production.

We recognize revenue for our construction and our specialized/custom manufacturing contracts over time under the input method using costs incurred (which represents work performed) to date relative to total estimated costs at completion to measure progress toward satisfying its performance obligations as such measure best reflects the transfer of control of the promised good to the customer. Contract costs include labor, materials and amounts payable to subcontractors. We follow this method since we can make reasonably dependable estimates of the revenue and costs applicable to the various stages of a contract. Under this input method, we record revenue and recognize profit or loss as work on the contract progresses. We estimate total project or manufacturing costs and profit to be earned on each long-term, fixed price contract prior to commencement of work on the contract and update these estimates as work on the contract progresses. The cumulative amount of revenue recorded on a contract at a specified point in time is that percentage of total estimated revenue that incurred costs to date comprises of estimated total contract costs. If, as work progresses, the actual contract costs exceed estimates, the profit recognized on revenue from that contract decreases. We recognize the full amount of any estimated loss on a contract at the time the estimates indicate such a loss.

The cost estimates we prepare in connection with our construction and manufacturing contracts are subject to inherent uncertainties. Because we base our contract prices on our estimation of future construction and manufacturing costs, the profitability of our construction and manufacturing contracts is highly dependent on our ability to estimate these costs accurately, as almost all of our construction and manufacturing contracts are fixed-price contracts. The cost of materials, labor and subcontractors could increase significantly after we sign a construction or manufacturing contract, which could cause the gross profit for a contract to decline from our previous estimates, adversely affecting our recognition of revenue and gross profit for the contract. Construction or manufacturing contract costs that significantly exceed our initial estimates could have a material adverse impact our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included under Part I, Item 11. “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report and our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 20162021 (“20162021 Form 10-K”) and the information set forth under Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our 20162021 Form 10-K.

Three Months Ended September 30, 20172022 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 20162021

Discontinued Operations – Mexico Project Development

In 2010, we began the pursuit, through our Netherlands subsidiary, Consolidated Water Cooperatief, U.A. (“CW-Cooperatief”), and our Mexico subsidiary, N.S.C. Agua, S.A. de C.V. (“NSC”), of a project (the “Project”) that encompassed the construction, operation and minority ownership of a 100 million gallon per day seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant to be located in northern Baja California, Mexico and accompanying pipelines to deliver water to the Mexican potable water system.

Through a series of transactions that began in 2012, NSC purchased 20.1 hectares of land for approximately $21.1 million on which the proposed Project’s plant was to be constructed.

28

Following an assessment by the State of Baja, California (the “State”) of the need for such a desalination plant and the passage of enabling legislation in November 2015, the State officially commenced the required public tender for the Project. A consortium (the “Consortium”) comprised of NSC, Suez Medio Ambiente México, S.A. de C.V. (“Suez MA”), a subsidiary of SUEZ International, S.A.S., and NuWater S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“NuWater”) submitted its tender for the Project in April 2016 and in June 2016, the State designated the Consortium as the winner of the tender process for the Project.

In August 2016, NSC and NuWater incorporated a new company under the name Aguas de Rosarito S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“AdR”) to pursue completion of the Project and executed a shareholders agreement for AdR agreeing among other things that (i) AdR would purchase the land and other Project assets from NSC on the date that the Project begins commercial operation and (ii) AdR would enter into a Management and Technical Services Agreement with NSC effective on the first day that the Project begins commercial operation. NSC initially owned 99.6% of the equity of AdR. In February 2018, we acquired the remaining 0.4% ownership in AdR from NuWater.

On August 22, 2016, the Public Private Partnership Agreement for the Project (the “APP Contract”) was executed between AdR, the State Water Commission of Baja California (“CEA”), the Government of Baja California as represented by the Secretary of Planning and Finance and the Public Utilities Commission of Tijuana (“CESPT”). The APP Contract required AdR to design, construct, finance and operate a seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant (and accompanying aqueduct) with a capacity of up to 100 million gallons per day in two phases: the first with a capacity of 50 million gallons per day and an aqueduct to the Mexican potable water system in Tijuana, Baja California and the second phase with a capacity of 50 million gallons per day. The first phase was to be operational within 36 months of commencing construction and the second phase was to be operational by July 2024. The APP Contract further required AdR to operate and maintain the plant and aqueduct for a period of 37 years starting from the commencement of operation of the first phase. At the end of the operating period, ownership of the plant and aqueduct would have been transferred to CEA. The APP Contract was subsequently amended by the parties in June 2018 to increase the scope of Phase 1 and to allow for changes in the water tariff due to the changes in the exchange rate for the peso, interest rates and construction costs that had and would occur from the date the APP Contract was signed to the date construction commenced.

On June 29, 2020, AdR received a letter (the “Letter”) from the Director General of CEA and the Director General of CESPT terminating the APP Contract. The Letter requested that AdR provide an inventory of the assets that currently comprise the “Project Works” (as defined in the APP Contract) for the purpose of acknowledging and paying the non-recoverable expenses made by AdR in connection with the Project, with such reimbursement to be calculated in accordance with the terms of the APP Contract. The applicable law required that this list of non-recoverable expenses made by AdR in connection with the Project be submitted to CEA and CESPT within 20 business days from the date of receipt of the Letter. AdR initiated an amparo claim before a federal district court in Tijuana, Baja California, to challenge the provision of the applicable law requiring submittal of the list of non-recoverable expenses within the 20 business days term, as AdR considered such term to be unreasonably short due to the magnitude of the Project and the scope of supporting documentation required to be provided with respect to the non-recoverable expenses. AdR obtained an initial provisional suspension of the lapsing of such 20-day term from the court, and on August 10, 2020 the court made such suspension definitive until the completion of the amparo trial. As such, the 20-day term for filing the list of non-recoverable expenses was suspended. Therefore, on August 28, 2020, AdR submitted their list of non-recoverable expenses, including those of NSC, to CEA and CESPT which was comprised of 51,144,525 United States dollars and an additional 137,333,114 Mexican pesos. In February 2021, AdR withdrew this amparo claim, and such withdrawal was accepted by the federal district court in Tijuana. To date, AdR has not received a formal response from CEA or CESPT to its submission of non-recoverable expenses.

We believe CW-Cooperatief, as a Netherlands company, has certain rights relating to its investments in NSC and AdR under the Agreement on Promotion, Encouragement and Reciprocal Protection of Investments between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the United Mexican States entered into force as of October 1, 1999 (the “Treaty”). On April 16, 2021, CW-Cooperatief submitted a letter to the President of Mexico and other Mexican federal government officials alleging that the State’s termination of the APP Contract constituted a breach by Mexico of its international obligations under the Treaty, entitling CW-Cooperatief to full reparation, including monetary damages. This letter invited Mexico to seek a resolution of this investment dispute through consultation and negotiation, but stated that if the dispute cannot be resolved in this manner, CW-Cooperatief elects to refer the dispute to the International Centre for the Settlement of International Disputes for arbitration, as provided for in the Treaty. On June 29, 2021, the Mexican Ministry of Economy responded to

29

CW-Cooperatief’s letter and proposed to hold a consultation meeting. Two such meetings were held on July 9, 2021 and August 2, 2021 on a confidential basis, without a resolution of our investment dispute.

​On February 9, 2022, CW-Cooperatief, filed a Request for Arbitration with the International Centre for Settlement of International Disputes requesting that the United Mexican States pay CW-Cooperatief damages in excess of US$51 million plus MXN$137 million (with the exact amount to be quantified in the proceedings), plus fees, costs and pre- and post-award interest.

CW-Cooperatief intends to pursue vigorously the relief sought in the arbitration, in addition to pursuing all other legal remedies and courses of action available under the operative contracts and applicable law with respect to its rights, damages, fees and expenses. We cannot provide any assurances that CW Cooperatief will be able to obtain the relief sought in the arbitration, and we will incur legal and other arbitration-related expenses that we expect will be material to our consolidated results of operations and cash flows.

During July 2022, the State initiated discussions with us to potentially resolve the issues related to the cancellation by the government of the Rosarito desalination plant contract as well as potentially addressing the State’s acute water shortage issues. We cannot presently determine the outcome of the discussions and we have not terminated our efforts to obtain relief through the international arbitration process as a result of these discussions.

We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to obtain reimbursement for any expenses or investments made with respect to the Project.

As a result of the cancellation of the APP Contract, in 2020 we discontinued all development activities associated with the Project and commenced active marketing efforts to sell the land NSC purchased for the Project. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of CW-Cooperatief, NSC and AdR, as well as all Project development expenses and the costs for our legal and administrative activities to pursue reimbursement from the State of Baja California following the cancellation of the APP Contract, have been reclassified from the services segment to discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Our net losses from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were ($505,917) and ($1,078,367), respectively.

The increase in gross profit dollars for 2017 from 2016 results from higher revenues. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues from 2016 to 2017 is primarily attributable to a decrease in the gross profit percentages generated by the manufacturing and bulk segments.2021.

RevenuesRevenue generated by our retail water operations increased to $6,274,650 in 2022 from $5,247,042 in 2021 in part due to a 14% increase in the volume of water sold. The sales volumes for both 2022 and 2021 were $5,570,654below the historical volumes for the retail segment prior to 2020 due to the cessation of tourism on Grand Cayman resulting from border restrictions that lasted from March 2020 through November 2021 in 2017 as comparedresponse to $5,447,200the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in 2016. Thethe volume of water sold byin 2022 as compared to 2021 resulted from the lifting in November 2021 of travel restrictions to the Cayman Islands for vaccinated individuals, which allowed the resumption of tourism to the Cayman Islands and the reopening of many tourist properties that we serve in Grand Cayman. Retail revenue also increased due to higher energy costs which increased the energy pass-through component of our water rates and a more favorable rate mix, as much of the volume increase for the quarter was due to higher sales volumes to tourist industry related businesses, which in general purchase higher volumes and therefore pay higher per gallon rates than other retail segment increased by almost 6% from 2016 to 2017.

Through our subsidiary CW-Bali, we built a seawater reverse osmosis plant with a production capacity of approximately 790,000 gallons per day located in Nusa Dua, one of the primary tourist areas of Bali, Indonesia. We built this plant based upon our belief that future water shortages in this area of Bali would eventually enable us to sell all of this plant’s production. However, since inception of CW-Bali’s operations in 2013, the sales volumes for its plant have not been sufficient to cover its operating costs and CW-Bali has incurred net losses. Our net losses from CW-Bali for our two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were approximately ($2.5 million) and ($861,000), respectively.

In late 2015, we decided to seek a strategic partner for CW-Bali to (i) purchase a major portion of its equity ownership; (ii) lead CW-Bali’s sales and marketing efforts; (iii) liaise with the local water utility; and (iv) assist with CW-Bali’s on-going funding requirements. Although discussions were held and due diligence information was exchanged with potential strategic partners, we did not receive an offer for an investment in, a purchase of, or a joint venture for CW-Bali from any of these potential partners on terms we deemed acceptable. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, we reassessed the prospects for CW-Bali in light of its results to date, current circumstances and uncertainties impacting the business, and expected future funding requirements and tested its long-lived assets for possible impairment. As a result of this testing we recorded an impairment loss of $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to reduce the carrying value of our long-lived CW-Bali assets to their estimated fair value.

On May 23, 2017, after considering CW-Bali’s historical and projected operating losses, its on-going funding requirements, the current business and economic environment in Bali and our inability to obtain a strategic partner for CW-Bali, our Board of Directors formally resolved to discontinue CW-Bali’s operations. We planned to cease the production of water in Bali, sell its stock in CW-Bali or CW-Bali’s net assets, and exit the Bali market at the earliest practical date, which we initially believed would be no later than March 31, 2018.

However, in October 2017, CW-Bali’s sole remaining customer filed a lawsuit in Bali, Indonesia against CW-Bali, our President, and our Chief Financial Officer in his capacity as the President of CW-Bali’s Board of Commissioners (i.e. Directors) seeking compensatory damages of 57.1 billion rupiahs and punitive damages of 26 billion rupiahs as a result of the anticipated breach of this customer’s water supply agreement that will arise from CW-Bali’s planned cessation of operations. Such damages were equivalent to approximately $4.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively, as of the exchange rate on November 8, 2017. We believe this lawsuit is without merit and will vigorously defend CW-Bali and the two other defendants. However, until this lawsuit is resolved we are legally prohibited from disposing of our investment in CW-Bali or any of CW-Bali’s assets.

Based upon the decision to cease CW-Bali’s operations, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 we estimated the future cash flows we would receive under various scenarios from the disposition of its investment in CW-Bali and assigned a probability to each scenario to determine an estimated fair value of its investment in CW-Bali. Based upon these probability-weighted sums, we recorded an impairment loss of approximately $1,000,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to reduce the carrying value of its investment in CW-Bali (which includes $549,555 in cumulative translation adjustments reflected in stockholders’ equity) to its estimated fair value. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we updated our estimated fair value projections for CW-Bali in light of the lawsuit filed in October 2017 and recorded an additional impairment loss of $578,480 to reduce the carrying value of our investment in Bali to its estimated fair value of approximately $378,000 as of September 30, 2017.

The results of operations for the retail segment for the three months ended September 30, 2017 include sales for CW-Bali of $55,222 and a net loss from operations for CW-Bali of ($8,466), excluding the ($578,480) impairment loss discussed above. The results of operations for the retail segment for the three months ended September 30, 2016 include sales for CW-Bali of $24,329 and a net loss from operations for CW-Bali of ($133,582), excluding the ($2,000,000) impairment loss discussed above.

Discontinued Operations – Mexico Project Development

As previously discussed, on June 29, 2020, the State of Baja California cancelled its APP Contract with AdR for the Project. As a result of the cancellation of the APP Contract, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, we discontinued all development activities associated with the Project and commenced active marketing efforts to sell the land NSC purchased for the Project.

Our net loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was ($1,533,064) and ($1,542,540), respectively, and consists of the costs for our legal and administrative activities to pursue reimbursement from the State of Baja California following the cancellation of the APP Contract, and for 2022, a provision of $377,326 for potentially uncollectible value added tax refunds.

The sales volumes for both 2022 and 2021 were below the historical volumes for the retail segment prior to 2020 due to the cessation of tourism on Grand Cayman resulting from border restrictions that lasted from March 2020 through November 2021 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in the volume of water sold in 2022 as compared to 2021 resulted from the lifting in November 2021 of travel restrictions to the Cayman Islands for vaccinated individuals, which allowed the resumption of tourism to the Cayman Islands and the reopening of many tourist properties that we serve in Grand Cayman. Retail revenue also increased due to higher energy costs which increased the energy pass-through component of our water rates and a more favorable rate mix, as much of

The services segment income from operations was $1,143,215 and $351,324 for 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Services segment revenue increased to $18,530,427 for 2022 from $10,514,669 for 2021 due to increases in both plant design and construction revenue and operating and maintenance revenue, with most of the revenue increase resulting from PERC’s progress on its contract with Liberty Utilities for the construction of a water treatment plant in Goodyear, Arizona.

Gross profit for the services segment was $3,681,398 (20% of services revenue) in 2022 as compared to $2,503,902 (24% of services revenue) for 2021. The increase in gross profit dollars resulted from the increased revenue. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased in 2017 asrevenue from 2021 to 2022 resulted from the relatively lower gross profit percentage earned on PERC’s contract with Liberty Utilities compared to 2016 due to higher energy prices, as energy expense for our bulk operations was approximately $1,256,000 more in 2017 than in 2016,that earned from PERC’s operating and as a result of a 9% decrease (excluding energy pass through adjustments) in the price of water sold by our Windsor plant in the Bahamas that became effective at the beginning of 2017.

Bulk segment G&A expenses decreased to $940,105 for 2017 as compared to $1,302,884 for 2016. This decrease reflects bank charges incurred to transfer funds from our Bahamas operations to our Cayman headquarters that were significantly lower for 2017 than for 2016 due to a decrease in the amount of funds transferred.

G&A expenses for the services segment remained relatively consistent at $2,498,766increased to $2,554,721 for 2022 as compared to $2,152,145 for 2021. as a result of (i) higher employee costs attributable to increased bonus accruals, new hires and $2,363,392 for 2017pay raises; and 2016, respectively.(ii) increased insurance expense.

Manufacturing Segment

Our manufacturing segment consists of Aerex, a company in which we acquired a 51% ownership interest as of February 11, 2016. Consequently, the results of our manufacturing segment for 2017 are not entirely comparable to those reported for 2016, as 2017 reflects a full nine months of Aerex’s operations whereas 2016 reflects Aerex’s operations for shorter period that began February 11, 2016 and ended on September 30, 2016.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The significant changes in the components of our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021 (other than the change in our cash and cash equivalents, which is discussed later in “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES”) and the reasons for these changes are discussed in the following paragraphs.

Accounts receivable decreased by approximately $3.5$3.0 million from December 31, 2016due to September 30, 2017the collection by CW-Bahamas of significant delinquent receivables balances owed by the WSC. This decrease in CW-Bahamas’ accounts receivable balance was partially offset by an increase in PERC’s accounts receivables.

Current inventory increased by approximately $1.5 million primarily due to a decreasean increase in the accounts receivablesAerex’s inventory, as certain of its manufacturing contracts have been delayed, resulting in extended retention times for CW-Bahamas of approximately $3.0 million.

Immediately following our acquisition of Aerex, we and the former sole shareholder of Aerex loaned Aerex $510,000 and $490,000, respectively, in the form of notes payable which were scheduled to mature on June 30, 2017 and bore interest at 1% per annum. These notes payable were repaid in April 2017.

CW-Bahamas Liquidity

CW-BahamasAs of December 31, 2021, CW-Bahamas’ accounts receivable balances (which include accrued interest) due from the Water and CW-Belize Liquidity Considerations

Transfers from our bank accounts in The Bahamas and Belize to our bank accounts in other countries require the approval of the Central BanksSewerage Corporation of The Bahamas (“WSC”) amounted to $21.5 million.

From time to time, CW-Bahamas has experienced delays in collecting its accounts receivable from the WSC. When these delays occur, we hold discussions and Belize, respectively. meetings with representatives of the WSC and The Bahamas government, and as a result, payment schedules are developed for WSC’s delinquent accounts receivable. All previous delinquent accounts receivable from the WSC, including accrued interest thereon, were eventually paid in full. Based upon this payment history, CW-Bahamas has never been required to provide an allowance for doubtful accounts for any of its accounts receivable, despite the periodic accumulation of significant delinquent balances.

In February 2022, we received correspondence from the Ministry of Finance of the Government of the Bahamas that set forth a payment schedule providing for the gradual reduction over the course of 2022 of the CW-Bahamas' delinquent accounts receivable due from the WSC. Such correspondence also indicated that the Government intends to return all of CW-Bahamas’ accounts receivable from the WSC to current status.

As of September 30, 2017,2022, CW-Bahamas’ accounts receivable from the equivalent United States dollar cash balancesWSC amounted to $15.2 million.

In its latest report dated October 6, 2022, Moody’s Investor Services (“Moody’s) downgraded the Government of The Bahamas’ long-term issuer and senior unsecured ratings to B1 from Ba3. Moody’s also lowered The Bahamas’ local currency ceiling to Baa3 from Baa2 and its foreign currency ceiling to Ba1 from Baa. Based upon our review of this Moody’s report, we continue to believe no allowance for our bank account deposits in The Bahamas and Belize were approximately $13.3 million and $6.0 million, respectively.doubtful accounts is required for CW-Bahamas’ accounts receivable from the WSC.

Weakness in the Belize economy and other factors have reduced the amount of U.S. dollars that Belize banks can transfer outside the country, which has limited the amount of U.S. dollars we are presently able to transfer from Belize. We cannot presently determine when conditions in Belize will improve or when we will have an improved ability to transfer funds from CW-Belize.

Revolving Credit Facility

In September 2022, Cayman Water entered into an agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Scotiabank & Trust (Cayman) Ltd. (the “Bank”) for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $10.0 million in net cash as we paid dividends of approximately $3.4 million. In February 2017, we also(the “Credit Facility”). We expect to utilize the funds obtained a $392,000 note payable from Aerex’s prior sole stockholder that matures on September 30, 2017 and also repaid the original loan of $490,000 from the same stockholder in April 2017.Credit Facility for general working capital purposes.

The Credit Facility matures two years following the date of the initial advance (the “Maturity Date”). All amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility are due and payable upon the earlier of the Maturity Date, demand from the bank or the acceleration of the Credit Facility upon an event of default.

The principal balance of the Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of 2.0% plus the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) as determined by the SOFR Administrator for a one-month period on the day that is two days prior to the first day of the interest period. All interest calculations will be made based on a 360-day year. So long as the Bank has not demanded repayment, interest will be payable monthly, commencing one month from the initial advance, with the outstanding balance due on the Maturity Date, unless the Bank agrees to renew the Credit Facility for an additional period.

Cayman Water’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority lien on all its fixed and floating assets and an assignment of insurance proceeds with respect to its fixed assets. Further, the Company has guaranteed the repayment of all of Cayman Water’s present and future debts and liabilities owed to the Bank.

The Credit Agreement requires Cayman Water to meet certain financial covenants.

Cayman Water has not yet utilized its available borrowings under the Credit Facility.

Material Commitments, Expenditures and Contingencies

COVID-19

The worldwide coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which was formally recognized by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, has had a profound negative impact on the economies of the countries in which we operate. Consequently, the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and will continue to have, an adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

A discussion of the current effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on each of our operating subsidiaries is provided in the following paragraphs. However, its future effects on our company could differ materially from the information we are providing herein.

Cayman Water

As preventative measures to combat the possible spread of COVID-19, the Cabinet of the Cayman Islands (“the Cabinet”) closed all of Cayman Islands’ seaports to international passenger arrivals effective March 13, 2020; and closed all Cayman Islands airports to international passenger arrivals effective March 22, 2020. Effective March 28, 2020, the Cabinet and Cayman Islands law enforcement enacted various ‘stay-at-home’ regulations and curfews, which closed all businesses not deemed essential by the government and required citizens to stay at home unless they were purchasing necessities or engaged in an essential errand. In May 2020, the Cabinet started the phased relaxation of the shelter-in-place regulations and on October 1, 2020, the Cayman Islands reopened its borders for residents or individuals who own property in the Cayman Islands that provide evidence of a negative COVID-19 test performed within three days prior to arrival in the Cayman Islands and agree to remain in quarantine for 14 days after arrival. In July 2021, this quarantine period was reduced to five days for fully vaccinated travelers who can provide proof of vaccination from Cayman Islands government approved sources.

37

In November 2021, the Cayman Islands began allowing vaccinated travelers to visit the islands without the need to quarantine. However, the testing requirements upon arrival on the islands, and the fact that families with unvaccinated children were still required to quarantine, continued to restrict the number of overseas visitors.

Effective August 24, 2022, the COVID-19 restrictions for entry to the Cayman Islands were lifted by the government of the Cayman Islands. This easing of restrictions has positively impacted tourism to the Cayman Islands. However, tourism to the Cayman Islands continues to be below pre-COVID-19 levels. We expect that our retail segment revenue and cash flows will continue to be adversely impacted until such time as tourism and the economy in the Cayman Islands fully recover from the impact and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cayman Water’s operations have been designated as essential services by the Cayman Islands government. Presently, the day-to-day operations of Cayman Water’s water production facilities and distribution network have not been materially impeded by the COVID-19 pandemic – we continue to produce and supply water to meet the demand for water in our retail license area. We believe Cayman Water has adequate spare parts and supplies in stock to continue normal operations.

OC-Cayman

Although it operates on Grand Cayman - and therefore is also affected by the preventative measures enacted by government that have been discussed previously - OC-Cayman sells water on a bulk basis to the WAC, which in turn provides this water to areas of Grand Cayman that are more residential, and less tourist related, than the license area served by Cayman Water. The monthly amounts OC-Cayman charges the WAC for water supplied under its water supply agreements consist of fixed amounts that constitute most of the amounts charged, and lesser amounts that vary with the volume of water supplied. Therefore, unlike Cayman Water, OC-Cayman’s revenue is not as directly affected by tourism on Grand Cayman and, due to the structure of the underlying water supply agreements, is not as acutely sensitive to declines in water demand.

OC-Cayman’s operations have been designated as essential services by the Cayman Islands government. Presently, OC-Cayman’s day-to-day operations have not been materially impeded by the COVID-19 pandemic – we continue to produce and supply water to meet the requirements of our two water supply agreements with the WAC. We believe OC-Cayman has adequate spare parts and supplies in stock to continue normal operations. However, OC-Cayman’s operations could be adversely affected should a significant number of its operations personnel be required to miss work due to illness.

CW-Bahamas

The government of The Bahamas enacted Emergency Powers Regulations which became effective March 18, 2020 in an effort to combat the spread of COVID-19. Initially, these regulations closed all businesses not deemed essential by the government, encouraged the employees of non-essential businesses to work remotely and imposed 24-hour shelter-in-place curfew on all residents of The Bahamas other than those engaged in essential or pre-approved activities. On March 24, 2020, the government banned all international travel to The Bahamas by closing all airports and seaports. As a result of the measures taken by The Bahamas government, tourism on New Providence Island, where CW-Bahamas operates, temporarily ceased and economic activity in The Bahamas slowed dramatically. During the summer of 2020, travel restrictions were briefly lifted then reimposed. In November 2020, shelter-in-place regulations were loosened, and commercial and retail operations were permitted to open with limited capacity although working from home was still encouraged. The Emergency Powers Regulations expired on November 13, 2021 and the government then enacted new rules to prevent and manage community spread of COVID-19. Most of such rules have since been lifted and there are no longer significant restrictions on economic activity. Home port cruise ship departures from the Port of Nassau commenced in June 2021 and cruise ship arrivals into The Bahamas commenced in July 2021.

Effective September 20, 2022, all COVID-related travel restrictions to The Bahamas were eliminated by the Bahamian government.

CW-Bahamas sells the water produced by its plants on a bulk basis to the WSC, which in turn provides water to the residences, businesses, and other end users on New Providence. Under the terms of each of its water supply agreements with the WSC, CW-Bahamas charges the WSC (i) a fixed monthly amount; (ii) an amount each month that is based upon the amount of water supplied during the month; and (iii) pass-through energy charges, therefore CW-Bahamas’ revenue is impacted by changes in energy prices and, to a lesser extent, changes in demand. The volume of water CW-Bahamas sells

38

to the WSC was not adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic despite the reduced economic activity on New Providence in 2021, and water volume sales remain steady as economic activity has increased in 2022.

CW-Bahamas’ day-to-day operations were not materially impeded by the COVID-19 pandemic – we continue to produce and supply water to meet the requirements of our two water agreements with the WSC. We believe CW-Bahamas has sufficient spare parts and consumables inventories to continue normal operations.

Aerex

Aerex presently has 15 manufacturing employees. Should a number of these employees become ill, Aerex could be required to reduce or cease its manufacturing activities, which could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

As a result of current economic conditions (resulting in part from the COVID-19 pandemic), in late March 2021 Aerex began experiencing issues with its supply chain for the raw materials and components used in its manufacturing operations, including higher prices, scarcities/shortages, and longer fulfillment times for its orders to suppliers. These conditions, and a decline in projected future sales to Aerex’s former largest customer, required us to record an impairment loss of ($2.9 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2021 to reduce the carrying value of our manufacturing reporting unit’s goodwill. While these economic conditions and issues continue, Aerex could have difficulty completing its orders from its customers and obtaining new business, which could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated revenue, results of operations and cash flows, and could require us to record additional impairment losses to reduce the carrying value of the goodwill recorded for our manufacturing reporting unit. Any such impairment losses could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

PERC

PERC’s operations are considered essential services by the states in which it operates. Presently, the COVID-19 pandemic has not materially impeded PERC’s day-to-day operations.

Approximately 46% of PERC’s revenue of $17.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was generated in California under contracts with government entities. The State of California has publicly acknowledged on-going difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and such difficulties presently, or could in the future, extend to the various counties, municipalities, and other government-related entities in California, including PERC’s customers, which could adversely impact PERC’s revenue and the collection of its accounts receivable.

PERC employs state-certified water and wastewater operators to operate various water treatment facilities in California and Arizona. Should a number of these employees become ill as a result of COVID-19, PERC could have difficulty meeting its contractual and statutory obligations for operating these water treatment facilities, which could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Renewal ofCayman Water Retail License

We sell water through our retail operations under a license issued in July 1990 by the Cayman Islands government (the “1990 license”) that grantsgranted Cayman Water the exclusive right to provide potable water to customers within its licensed service area. As discussed below, thisAlthough the 1990 license was setnot expressly extended after January 2018, we continue to expiresupply water under the terms of the 1990 license, as further discussed in July 2010 but has since been extended while negotiations for a new license take place.the following paragraph. Pursuant to the 1990 license, Cayman Water has the exclusive right to produce potable water and distribute it by pipeline to its licensed service area, which consists of two of the three most populated areas of Grand Cayman theIsland: Seven Mile Beach and West Bay areas.Bay. For the three months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, we generated approximately 33%25% and 38%32%, respectively, of our consolidated revenuesrevenue and 48%44% and 52%44%, respectively, of our consolidated gross profit from the retail water operations conducted pursuant to Cayman Water’s exclusiveunder the 1990 license. For the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016, we2021, the Company generated approximately 38%29% and 40%33%, respectively, of ourits consolidated revenuesrevenue and 52%45% and 55%47%, respectively, of ourits consolidated gross profit from the retail water operations conducted pursuant to Cayman Water’s exclusiveunder the 1990 license.

The 1990 license was originally scheduled to expire in July 2010 but has beenwas extended several times by the Cayman Islands government in order to provide the parties with additional time to negotiate the terms of a new license agreement. The most recent

39

express extension of the license expiresexpired on January 31, 2018. We continue to operate under the terms of the 1990 license, providing water services to the level and quality specified in the 1990 license and in accordance with our understanding of its legal obligations, treating those obligations set forth in the 1990 license as operative notwithstanding the expiration of the express extension. We continue to pay the royalty required under the 1990 license.

In October 2016, the Government of the Cayman Islands passed legislation which created a new utilities regulation and competition office (“OfReg”). OfReg is an independent and accountable regulatory body with a view of protecting the rights of consumers, encouraging affordable utility services and promoting competition. OfReg, which began operations in January 2017, has the ability to supervise, monitor and regulate multiple utility undertakings and markets. Supplemental legislation was passed by the Government of the Cayman Islands in April 2017, which transferred responsibility for the economic regulation of the water utility sector and the retail license negotiations from the Water Authority-Cayman (the “WAC”)WAC to OfReg. In July 2017, weOfReg in May 2017. We began license negotiations with OfReg for a new retail license in the Cayman IslandsJuly 2017 and such negotiations are continuing.

Under its present We have been informed during our retail license Cayman Water pays a royalty to the government of 7.5% of its gross retail water sales revenues (excluding energy cost adjustments). The selling prices of water sold to its customers are determined by the license and vary depending upon the type and location of the customer and the monthly volume of water purchased. The license provides for an automatic adjustment for inflation or deflation on an annual basis, subject to temporary limited exceptions, and an automatic adjustment for the cost of electricity on a monthly basis. The WAC, on behalf of the government, previously reviewed and confirmed the calculations of the price adjustments for inflation and electricity costs. On July 7, 2017, we were advisednegotiations, both by OfReg that regulatory responsibility for the water utility sector had been transferred from the WAC to OfReg effective May 22, 2017, and that effective immediately all reviews and confirmations of calculations of the price adjustments for inflation and electricity costs will be performed by OfReg. If Cayman Water wants to adjust its prices for any reason other than inflation or electricity costs, Cayman Water has to request prior approval of the Cabinet ofpredecessor in these negotiations, that the Cayman Islands government. Disputes regarding price adjustments would be referredgovernment seeks to arbitration.restructure the terms of our license in a manner that could significantly reduce the operating income and cash flows we have historically generated from our retail license.

The Cayman Islands government could ultimately offerseek to grant a third party a license to service some or all of Cayman Water’s present service area. However, as set forth in the existing1990 license, the Governor hereby agrees that upon the expiry of the term of this Licence or any extension thereof, he will not grant a licence or franchise to any other person or company for the processing, distribution, sale and supply of water within the Licence Area without having first offered such a licence or franchise to the Company on terms no less favourable than the terms offered to such other person or company.”

We are presently unable to determine what impact the resolution of our retail license negotiations will have on our cash flows, financial condition or results of operations but such resolution could result in a material reduction (or the loss) of the operating income and cash flows we have historically generated from our retail operations and could require us to record an impairment loss to reduce the carrying value of our goodwill. Such impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

NSC and AdR Project Development

In May 2010, we acquired, through our wholly-owned Netherlands subsidiary, Consolidated Water Cooperatief, U.A., (“CW-Cooperatief”) a 50% interest in N.S.C. Agua, S.A. de C.V. (“NSC”), a development stage Mexican company. We have since purchased, through the conversion of a loan we made to NSC, sufficient shares to raise our ownership interest in NSC to 99.99%. NSC was formed to pursue a project (the “Project”) encompassing the construction, operation and minority ownership of a 100 million gallon per day seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant to be located in northern Baja California, Mexico and accompanying pipelines to deliver water to the Mexican potable water system. As discussed in the paragraphs that follow, during 2015 the scope of the Project was defined by the State of Baja California (the “State”) to consist of a first phase consisting of a 50 million gallon per day plant and a pipeline that connects to the Mexican potable water infrastructure and a second phase consisting of an additional 50 million gallons of production capacity.

Through a series of transactions completed in 2012-2014, NSC purchased 20.1 hectares for approximately $20.6 million on which the proposed Project’s plant would be constructed.

In November 2012, NSC entered into a lease with an effective term of 20 years from the date of full operation of the desalination plant with the Comisión Federal de Electricidad for approximately 5,000 square meters of land on which it plans to construct the water intake and discharge works for the plant. The amounts due on this lease are payable in Mexican pesos at an amount that is currently equivalent to approximately $20,000 per month. This lease may be cancelled by NSC should NSC ultimately not proceed with the Project.

In August 2014, the State enacted new legislation to regulate Public-Private Association projects which involve the type of long-term contract between a public-sector authority and a private party that NSC is seeking to complete the Project. Pursuant to this new legislation, on January 4, 2015, NSC submitted an expression of interest for its project to the Secretary of Infrastructure and Urban Development of the State of Baja California (“SIDUE”). SIDUE accepted NSC’s expression of interest and requested that NSC submit a detailed proposal for the Project that complies with requirements of the new legislation. NSC submitted this detailed proposal (the “APP Proposal”) to SIDUE in late March 2015. The new legislation required that such proposal be evaluated by SIDUE and submitted to the Public-Private Association Projects State Committee (the “APP Committee”) for review and authorization. If the Project was authorized the State would be required to conduct a public tender for the Project.

In response to its APP Proposal, in September 2015 NSC received a letter dated June 30, 2015 from the Director General of the Comisión Estatal del Agua de Baja California (“CEA”), the State agency with responsibility for the Project, stating that (i) the Project is in the public interest with high social benefits and is consistent with the objectives of the State development plan; and (ii) that the Project and accompanying required public tender process should be conducted. In November 2015, the State officially commenced the tender for the Project, the scope of which the State has defined as a first phase to be operational in 2019 consisting of a 50 million gallon per day plant and a pipeline that connects to the Mexican potable water infrastructure and a second phase to be operational in 2024 consisting of an additional 50 million gallons per day of production capacity. A consortium comprised of NSC, NuWater S.A.P.I. de C.V. and Degremont S.A. de C.V. (the “Consortium”) submitted its tender for the Project on the April 21, 2016 tender submission deadline date set by the State.

We have acknowledged since the inception of the Project that, due to the amount of capital the Project requires, NSC will ultimately need an equity partner or partners for the Project. Consequently, NSC’s tender to the State for the Project was based upon the following: (i) NSC will sell or otherwise transfer the land and other Project assets to a new company (“Newco”) that would build and own the Project; (ii) NSC’s potential partners would provide the majority of the equity for the Project and thereby would own the majority interest in Newco; (iii) NSC would maintain a minority ownership position in Newco; and (iv) Newco would enter into a long-term management and technical services contract for the Project with an entity partially owned by NSC or another Company subsidiary.

On June 15, 2016, the State designated the Consortium as the winner of tender process for the Project.

On August 17, 2016, NSC and NuWater incorporated Newco under the name Aguas de Rosarito S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“AdR”), a special purpose company, to complete the Project and executed a shareholders agreement for AdR agreeing among other things that (i) AdR would purchase the land and other Project assets from NSC on the date that the Project begins commercial operation and (ii) AdR would enter into a Management and Technical Services Agreement with NSC effective on the first day that the Project begins commercial operation. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, NSC owned 99.6% of AdR.

On August 22, 2016, the Public Private Partnership Agreement for public private partnership number 002/2015, contest number SIDUE-CEA-APP-2015-002 (“APP Contract”), was executed between AdR, CEA, the Government of Baja California represented by the Secretary of Planning and Finance and the Public Utilities Commission of Tijuana (“CESPT”). The APP Contract requires AdR to design, construct, finance and operate a seawater desalination plant (and accompanying aqueducts) with a capacity of up to 100 million gallons per day in two phases: the first with a capacity of 50 million gallons per day and an aqueduct to the Mexican potable water system in Tijuana, Baja California; and the second phase with a capacity of 50 million gallons per day and an aqueduct to a second delivery point in Tijuana. The first phase must be operational within 36 months of commencing construction and the second phase must be operational by the end of 2024. The APP Contract further requires AdR to operate and maintain the plant and aqueducts for a period of 37 years starting from the commencement of operation of the first phase. At the end of the operating period, the plant and aqueducts will be transferred to CEA.

32

The total Project cost for Phase 1 is expected to be approximately 9.1 billion Mexican pesos. Annual revenues from the Project for Phase 1 are expected to be approximately 1.79 billion Mexican pesos. Water rates under the APP Contract are indexed to the Mexican national consumer price index over its term. Electrical energy costs incurred by AdR to desalinate and deliver water are treated as a pass-through charge to CEA, subject to efficiency guarantees. AdR expects to raise Mexican peso denominated debt financing through a consortium led by the North American Development Bank, which also provided financial advisory services to the Consortium through the bidding process and contract negotiations.

The APP Contract does not become effective until the following conditions are met:

·the State has established and registered various payment trusts, guaranties and bank credit lines for specific use by the Project;
·the CEA has obtained the rights from the relevant federal authority to take and desalinate seawater and distribute it for municipal use;
·various agreements between the CEA, the payment trusts and the CESPT have been executed;
·AdR has obtained all rights of ways required for the Phase 1 aqueduct;
·AdR has obtained permission from the relevant federal authority to discharge the residual water from the Project’s desalination plant; and
·all equity and debt financing agreements necessary to provide the funding to AdR for the first phase of the Project have been executed. 

On December 30, 2016, the Congress of the State of Baja California, Mexico passed Decreto #57 which, among other things, ratified and authorized the execution of the APP Contract.  Earlier this year, following consultations between representatives of the State of Baja California and the Ministry of Finance of the Federal Government of Mexico, it was determined that certain amendments to Decreto #57 were required in order to comply with recent changes to the Federal Fiscal Discipline Law.  In addition, during the course of its recent due diligence related to the potential financing of the Project, the North American Development Bank requested that the State of Baja California amend Decreto #57 to authorize the inclusion of revenues from the CESPT in the primary payment trust for the Project.  These amendments are included in Decreto #95 which is currently under consideration by the Congress of the State of Baja California.  We cannot say with any certainty whether or not Decreto #95 will be approved by the Congress.  In the event that Decreto #95 is ultimately not approved, we may not be able to obtain the debt financing required to complete the Project.

As of September 30, 2017, AdR has paid approximately $665,000 for deposits on, or purchases of, rights of way for the Phase 1 aqueduct, which are included in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Both the exchange rate for the Mexico peso relative to the dollar and general macroeconomic conditions in Mexico have varied since the U.S. Presidential election in November 2016. These changes could adversely impact the estimated construction, operating, and financing costs for the Project. The APP Contract and the APP Law allow for the parties to negotiate (but do not guarantee) modifications to the water tariff in the event of such significant macroeconomic condition changes. On February 10, 2017, AdR submitted proposals to the CEA requesting an increase to the water tariff to compensate for changes in foreign exchange rates, lending rates and certain changes in law which have impacted the Project. If AdR is unable to obtain this requested increase in the water tariff, it may be unable to obtain the debt and equity financing required for the Project. We are currently unable to determine whether or not such water tariff increase will be approved.

If AdR is ultimately unable to proceed with the Project, the land NSC has purchased and the right of way deposits may lose their strategic importance as the site for the Project and consequently may decline in value. If AdR does not proceed with the Project, NSC may ultimately be unable to sell this land or recoup their right of way deposits for an amount at least equal to its current carrying value of approximately $21.2 million ($20.56 million for the land and $665,000 for the right of way deposits), and any loss on sale of the land, or impairment loss NSC may be required to record as a result of a decrease in the fair value could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations.

Included in our results of operations are general and administrative expenses from NSC and AdR, consisting of organizational, legal, accounting, engineering, consulting and other costs relating to Project development activities. Such expenses amounted to approximately $864,000 and $606,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $2,469,000 and $2,248,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The assets and liabilities of NSC and AdR included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets amounted to approximately $22.8 million and $371,000, respectively, as of September 30, 2017 and approximately $22.3 million and $221,000 respectively, as of December 31, 2016.

EWG Litigation

Immediately following CW-Cooperatief’s acquisition of its initial 50% ownership in NSC, the remaining 50% ownership interest in NSC was held by an unrelated company, Norte Sur Agua, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“NSA”). NSA subsequently transferred ownership of half of its shares in NSC to EWG Water LLC (“EWG”) and the other half of its shares in NSC to Alejandro de la Vega (the “individual shareholder”). In February 2012, we paid $300,000 to enter into an agreement (the “Option Agreement”) that provided us with an option, exercisable through February 7, 2014, to purchase the shares of NSC owned by the individual shareholder for a price of $1.0 million along with an immediate power of attorney to vote those shares. Such shares constituted 25% of the ownership of NSC as of February 2012. In May 2013, NSC repaid a $5.7 million loan payable to CW-Cooperatief by issuing additional shares of its stock. As a result of this share issuance to CW-Cooperatief, we acquired 99.99% of the ownership of NSC. The Option Agreement contained an anti-dilution provision that required us to issue new shares in NSC of an amount sufficient to maintain the individual shareholder’s 25% ownership interest in NSC if (i) any new shares of NSC were issued subsequent to the execution of the Option Agreement; and (ii) we did not exercise our share purchase option by February 7, 2014. We exercised our option and paid the $1.0 million to the individual shareholder to purchase the Option Agreement shares in February 2014.

In October 2015, we learned that EWG has filed a lawsuit against the individual shareholder, NSC, NSA, CW-Cooperatief, Ricardo del Monte Nunez, Carlos Eduardo Ahumada Arruit, Luis de Angitia Becerra, and the Public Registry of Commerce of Tijuana, Baja California in the Civil Court located in Tecate, Baja California, Mexico.

33

In this lawsuit, EWG challenged, among other things, the capital investment transactions that increased our ownership interest in NSC to 99.99%. EWG requested that the court, as a preliminary matter: (a) suspend of the effectiveness of the challenged transactions; (b) order of public officials in Mexico to record the pendency of the lawsuit in the public records; and (c) appoint an inspector for NSA and NSC to oversee its commercial activities. The court granted, ex-parte, the preliminary relief sought by EWG, which resulted in the placement of inscriptions for the lawsuit on NSC’s public records.

EWG also sought an order directing, among other things: (i) NSA, NSC and CW-Cooperatief to refrain from carrying out any transactions with respect to the Project; and (ii) NSA, NSC and CW-Cooperatief, and the partners thereof, to refrain from transferring any interests in NSA, NSC and CW-Cooperatief.

On April 5, 2016, NSC filed a motion for reconsideration with the Tecate, Mexico court asking, among other things, that the court; (i) reverse its order to record the pendency of the lawsuit in the public records; (ii) cancel the appointment of the inspector; and (iii) allow NSC to provide a counter-guarantee to suspend the effects of the court’s order regarding the challenged transactions. On April 26, 2016, the Tecate, Mexico court issued an interlocutory judgment (i) ordering the cancellation of the inscriptions on NSC’s public records; and (ii) rejecting NSC’s motion for cancellation of the appointment of the inspector.

On April 26, 2016, NSC filed a full answer to EWG’s claims, rejecting every claim made by EWG. The court’s response on this matter is pending. 

On May 17, 2016, NSC filed a claim with the Third District Court in Matters of Amparo and Federal Trials in the City of Tijuana, Baja California (the “Amparo Court”) challenging the Tecate, Mexico Court ex-parte order which appointed an inspector over NSC’s commercial activities. On July 29, 2016, the Amparo Court found that such appointment is unconstitutional and reversed the Tecate, Mexico court’s appointment of an inspector.

On September 6, 2016, the Tecate, Mexico court issued a decree granting the counter-guaranty requested by NSC. Such counter-guaranty was fixed in the amount of 300,000 Mexican pesos and was given to the court on October 13, 2016 at which time all remaining ex-parte restrictions on NSC related to the challenged transactions were suspended.

On May 2, 2017, the Tecate, Mexico court declared that the initial filing of this lawsuit had expired due to EWG’s lack of activity with respect to certain actions required to proceed to trial. However, EWG can appeal the expiration or refile the lawsuit.

Aerex

Aerex’s actual results of operations in the months following our acquisition of the company on February 11, 2016 fell significantly short of the projected results that were included in the overall cash flow projections we utilized to determine the purchase price for Aerex and the fair values of its assets and liabilities. Due to this shortfall in Aerex’s results of operations, we updated our projections for Aerex’s future cash flows and tested Aerex’s goodwill for possible impairment as of September 30, 2016 by estimating its fair value using the discounted cash flow method. As a result of this impairment testing, we determined that the carrying value of our Aerex goodwill exceeded its fair value, and recorded an impairment loss of $1,750,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to reduce the carrying value of this goodwill to $6,285,211. We may be required to record additional impairment losses to reduce the carrying value of our Aerex goodwill in future periods if we determine it likely that Aerex’s results of operations will fall short of our most recent projections of its future cash flows.

CW-Belize

By Statutory Instrument No. 81 of 2009, the Minister of Public Utilities of the government of Belize published an order, the Public Utility Provider Class Declaration Order, 2009 (the “Order”), which as of May 1, 2009 designated CW-Belize as a public utility provider under the laws of Belize. With this designation, the Public Utilities Commission of Belize (the “PUC”) has the authority to set the rates charged by CW-Belize and to otherwise regulate its activities. On November 1, 2010, CW-Belize received a formal complaint from the PUC alleging that CW-Belize was operating without a license under the terms of the Water Industry Act. CW-Belize applied for this license in December 2010. On July 29, 2011, the PUC issued the San Pedro Public Water Supply Quality and Security Complaint Order (the “Second Order”) which among other things requires that (i) CW-Belize and its customer jointly make a submission to the responsible Minister requesting that the area surrounding CW-Belize’s seawater abstraction wells be designated a forest reserve or national park and be designated a Controlled Area under section 58 of the Water Industry Act, (ii) CW-Belize submit an operations manual for CW-Belize’s desalination plant to the PUC for approval, (iii) CW-Belize and its customer modify the water supply agreement between the parties to (a) include new water quality parameters included in the Order and (b) cap the current exclusive water supply arrangement in the agreement at a maximum of 450,000 gallons per day, (iv) CW-Belize keep a minimum number of replacement seawater RO membranes in stock at all times and (v) CW-Belize take possession of and reimburse the PUC for certain equipment which the PUC purchased from a third-party in late 2010. CW-Belize has applied for declaratory judgment and has been granted a temporary injunction to stay the enforcement of the Second Order by the PUC until such time as the Belize courtsretail segment assets. Such impairment losses could hear the matter. The initial hearing on this matter was conducted on October 30 and 31, 2012 with an additional hearing on November 29, 2012. The ruling on this case is pending. We are presently unable to determine what impact the Order and the Second Order will have on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Adoption of new accounting standards:

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11,Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU 2015-11 applies to all inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out or average cost. The guidance requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 did not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position,condition, results of operations oroperation and cash flows.flows.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17,Income Taxes (Topic 740), Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred TaxesCW-Bahamas Performance Guarantees. ASU 2015-17 requires net deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet and eliminates the classification between current and noncurrent amounts ASU No. 2015-17 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Adoption of operations or cash flows.New Accounting Standards

None.

Effect of newly issuedNewly Issued but not yet effective accounting standards:

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 prescribes a five-step framework in accounting for revenues from contracts within its scope, including (a) identification of the contract, (b) identification of the performance obligations under the contract, (c) determination of the transaction price, (d) allocation of the transaction price to the identified performance obligations and (e) recognition of revenues as the identified performance obligations are satisfied. ASU 2014-09 also prescribes additional disclosures and financial statement presentations. ASU 2014-09 may be adopted retrospectively or under a modified retrospective method where the cumulative effect is recognized at the date of initial application. This amendment was originally effective January 1, 2017. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date by one year to January 1, 2018. Early application is permitted but not before January 1, 2017.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08,Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), that amends the principal versus agent guidance in ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-08 clarifies that the analysis must focus on whether the entity has control of the goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. ASU 2016-08 also provides additional guidance about how to apply the control principle when services are provided and when goods or services are combined with other goods or services.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10,Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, that amends the revenue guidance in ASU 2014-09 on identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property. ASU 2016-10 changed the FASB's previous proposals on renewals of right-to-use licenses and contractual restrictions. The effective date of the standard for us will coincide with ASU 2014-09 during the first quarter 2018.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-11,Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting. ASU 2016-11 rescinds several SEC Staff Announcements that are codified in Topic 605, including, among other items, guidance relating to accounting for shipping and handling fees and freight services.

None.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which clarifies implementation guidance around collectability, sales taxes collected from customers, noncash considerations, contract modifications at transition, and completed contracts at transition.

In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20,Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which amended the guidance on performance obligation disclosures and makes technical corrections and improvements to the new revenue standard. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, and permits early adoption on a limited basis. The update permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method.

35

The effective dates of ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-11, ASU 2016-12, and ASU 2016-20 are the same as ASU 2015-14 discussed above. We intend to elect the modified retrospective method to all active contracts on the date of initial application. This will involve applying the guidance retrospectively only to the most current period presented in the financial statements and recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance as an adjustment to the January 1, 2018 opening balance of retained earnings at the date of initial application. Based on an analysis we have performed, the adoption of ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01,Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial assets and financial liabilities. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017 and, for most provisions, is effective using the cumulative-effect transition approach. Early application is permitted for certain provisions. We currently are evaluating the effect the adoption of this amendment will have on our consolidated financial statements. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842), which provides guidance for accounting for leases. The new guidance requires companies to recognize the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leased assets. The accounting guidance for lessors will remain relatively largely unchanged. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We currently are evaluating the effect the adoption of this amendment will have on our consolidated financial statements. We expect that the adoption of the new lease standard will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated balance sheet due to the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities principally for certain leases currently accounted for as operating leases.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15,Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which clarifies how certain cash receipts and payments are presented in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. We currently are evaluating the effect the adoption of this amendment will have on our consolidated financial statements. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04,Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU 2017-04 should be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Impact of Inflation

Under the terms of our Cayman Islands license and our water sales agreements in The Bahamas Belize and the British Virgin Islands, our water rates are automatically adjusted for inflation on an annual basis, subject to temporary exceptions. We, therefore, believe thatbasis. Therefore, the impact of inflation on our gross profit, measured in consistent dollars, willhistorically has not bebeen material. However, we have not increased our retail water rates since January 2018 (despite the inflation that has occurred since that date) due to the lack of a resolution of our negotiations with OfReg for a new retail license. This lack of a rate increase has contributed to a decline in the gross profit generated by our retail segment. Furthermore, our manufacturing segment has been adversely impacted by recent significant increases in items such asraw material costs and our services segment could suffer similar adverse impacts in the future. Should the current inflationary trend continue, our consolidated results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

Increases in fuel and energy costs and other items could create additional credit risks for us, as our customers’ ability to pay our invoices could be adversely affected by such increases.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

CW-Bali

On October 20, 2017, a customer of CW-Bali filed a lawsuit in the Denpasar District Court, Bali, Indonesia against CW-Bali, its President and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer in his capacity as the President of CW-Bali’s Board of Commissioners (i.e. Directors) seeking compensatory damages of 57.1 billion rupiahs and punitive damages of 26 billion rupiahs as a result of the anticipatory breach of this customer’s water supply agreement arising from CW-Bali’s planned cessation of operations. Such damages were equivalent to approximately $4.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively, as of the exchange rate on November 8, 2017. We believe this lawsuit is without merit and will vigorously defend CW-Bali and the other two defendants. However, until this lawsuit is resolved we are legally prohibited from disposing of our investment in CW-Bali or any of CW-Bali’s assets.

CW-Belize

By Statutory Instrument No. 81 of 2009, the Minister of Public Utilities of the government of Belize published an order, the Public Utility Provider Class Declaration Order, 2009 (the “Order”), which as of May 1, 2009 designated CW-Belize as a public utility provider under the laws of Belize. With this designation, the Public Utilities Commission of Belize (the “PUC”) has the authority to set the rates charged by CW-Belize and to otherwise regulate its activities. On November 1, 2010, CW-Belize received a formal complaint from the PUC alleging that CW-Belize was operating without a license under the terms of the Water Industry Act. CW-Belize applied for this license in December 2010. On July 29, 2011, the PUC issued the San Pedro Public Water Supply Quality and Security Complaint Order (the “Second Order”) which among other things requires that (i) CW-Belize and its customer jointly make a submission to the responsible Minister requesting that the area surrounding CW-Belize’s seawater abstraction wells be designated a forest reserve or national park and be designated a Controlled Area under section 58 of the Water Industry Act, (ii) CW-Belize submit an operations manual for CW-Belize’s desalination plant to the PUC for approval, (iii) CW-Belize and its customer modify the water supply agreement between the parties to (a) include new water quality parameters included in the Order and (b) cap the current exclusive water supply arrangement in the agreement at a maximum of 450,000 gallons per day, (iv) CW-Belize keep a minimum number of replacement seawater RO membranes in stock at all times and (v) CW-Belize take possession of and reimburse the PUC for certain equipment which the PUC purchased from a third-party in late 2010. CW-Belize has applied for declaratory judgment and has been granted a temporary injunction to stay the enforcement of the Second Order by the PUC until such time as the Belize courts could hear the matter. The initial hearing on this matter was conducted on October 30 and 31, 2012 with an additional hearing on November 29, 2012. The ruling on this case is pending. We are presently unable to determine what impact the Order and the Second Order will have on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

EWG Litigation

In May 2010, we acquired, through our wholly-owned Netherlands subsidiary, Consolidated Water Cooperatief, U.A., (“CW-Cooperatief”) a 50% interest in N.S.C. Agua, S.A. de C.V. (“NSC”), a development stage Mexican company. We have since purchased, through the conversion of a loan we made to NSC, sufficient shares to raise our ownership interest in NSC to 99.99%. NSC was formed to pursue a project encompassing the construction, operation and minority ownership of a 100 million gallon per day seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant to be located in northern Baja California, Mexico and an accompanying pipeline to deliver water to the Mexican potable water system (the “Project”).

Immediately following CW-Cooperatief’s acquisition of its initial 50% ownership in NSC, the remaining 50% ownership interest in NSC was held by an unrelated company, Norte Sur Agua, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“NSA”). NSA subsequently transferred ownership of half of its shares in NSC to EWG Water LLC (“EWG”) and the other half of its shares in NSC to Alejandro de la Vega (the “individual shareholder”). In February 2012, we paid $300,000 to enter into an agreement (the “Option Agreement”) that provided us with an option, exercisable through February 7, 2014, to purchase the shares of NSC owned by the individual shareholder for a price of $1.0 million along with an immediate power of attorney to vote those shares. Such shares constituted 25% of the ownership of NSC as of February 2012. In May 2013, NSC repaid a $5.7 million loan payable to CW-Cooperatief by issuing additional shares of its stock. As a result of this share issuance to CW-Cooperatief, we acquired 99.99% of the ownership of NSC. The Option Agreement contained an anti-dilution provision that required us to issue new shares in NSC of an amount sufficient to maintain the individual shareholder’s 25% ownership interest in NSC if (i) any new shares of NSC were issued subsequent to the execution of the Option Agreement; and (ii) we did not exercise our share purchase option by February 7, 2014. We exercised our option and paid the $1.0 million to the individual shareholder to purchase the Option Agreement shares in February 2014.

In October 2015, we learned that EWG filed a lawsuit against the individual shareholder, NSC, NSA, CW-Cooperatief, Ricardo del Monte Nunez, Carlos Eduardo Ahumada Arruit, Luis de Angitia Becerra, and the Public Registry of Commerce of Tijuana, Baja California in the Civil Court located in Tecate, Baja California, Mexico.

In this lawsuit, EWG challenged, among other things, the capital investment transactions that increased our ownership interest in NSC to 99.99%. EWG requested that the court, as a preliminary matter: (a) suspend the effectiveness of the challenged transactions; (b) order public officials in Mexico to record the pendency of the lawsuit in the public records; and (c) appoint an inspector for NSA and NSC to oversee its commercial activities. The Court granted, ex-parte, the preliminary relief sought by EWG, which resulted in the placement of inscriptions for the lawsuit on NSC’s public records.

EWG also sought an order directing, among other things: (i) NSA, NSC and CW-Cooperatief to refrain from carrying out any transactions with respect to the Project; and (ii) NSA, NSC and CW-Cooperatief, and the partners thereof, to refrain from transferring any interests in NSA, NSC and CW-Cooperatief.

38

On April 5, 2016, NSC filed a motion for reconsideration with the Tecate, Mexico Court asking, among other things, that the Court; (i) reverse its order to record the pendency of the lawsuit in the public records; (ii) cancel the appointment of the inspector; and (iii) allow NSC to provide a counter-guarantee to suspend the effects of the Court’s order regarding the challenged transactions. On April 26, 2016, the Tecate, Mexico Court issued an interlocutory judgment (i) ordering the cancellation of the inscriptions on NSC’s public records; and (ii) rejecting NSC’s motion for cancellation of the appointment of the inspector.

On April 26, 2016, NSC filed a full answer to EWG’s claims, rejecting every claim made by EWG. The Court’s response on this matter is pending.

On May 17, 2016, we filed a claim with the Third District Court in Matters of Amparo and Federal Trials in the City of Tijuana, Baja California (the “Amparo Court”) challenging the Tecate, Mexico Court ex-parte order which appointed an inspector over NSC’s commercial activities. On July 29, 2016, the Amparo Court found that such appointment is unconstitutional and reversed the Tecate, Mexico Court’s appointment of an inspector.

On September 6, 2016, the Tecate, Mexico Court issued a decree granting the counter-guaranty requested by NSC. Such counter-guaranty was fixed in the amount of MXP 300,000.00 Mexican pesos and was given to the Court on October 13, 2016 at which time all remaining ex-parte restrictions on NSC related to the challenged transactions were suspended.

On May 2, 2017, the Tecate, Mexico court declared that the initial filing of this lawsuit had expired due to EWG’s lack of activity with respect to certain actions required to proceed to trial. However, EWG can appeal the expiration or refile the lawsuit.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business faces significant risks. These risks include those disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20162021 as supplemented by the additional risk factors included below. If any of the events or circumstances described in the referenced risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected and such events or circumstances could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report. These risks should be read in conjunction with the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report as well as in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162021 and in our other periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K.

The COVID-19 pandemic will likely continue to have a material adverse impact on our financial performance and financial condition in the future, to an extent and for a period of time that cannot presently be determined.

The worldwide coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic was formally recognized by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. In response to this pandemic, the governments of the countries in which we operate - the Cayman Islands, The Bahamas, and the United States - implemented preventative measures to slow the spread of COVID-19, measures which have had profound adverse consequences for the economies of those countries. Tourism, a major economic driver for the Cayman Islands, temporarily ceased due to closing of the country to tourist arrivals by air and sea travel. In November 2021, the Cayman Islands government eliminated certain travel restrictions for COVID-19 vaccinated travelers that allowed tourists to enter the Cayman Islands for the first time since March 2020. Our retail water revenues continue to be significantly lower than pre-pandemic levels. Tourist arrivals to The Bahamas by air and sea declined significantly due to the pandemic. Overall economic activity in the United States has also declined.

As a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economies of the countries in which we operate, we have experienced, and will continue to experience, decreases in our consolidated revenue, cash flows generated from operations, and overall liquidity as compared to comparable prior periods.

Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our customers. Such adverse impacts, should they continue for a prolonged period, could require us to reassess the expected future cash flows from our four reporting units and could require us to record impairment losses to reduce the carrying values of one or more of these reporting units due to a decline in their fair values.

Although we cannot presently quantify the future financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our company, we believe such impacts will likely continue to have an adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Given the uncertainty associated with the resolution of this pandemic, we cannot presently determine how long such adverse financial impacts may last.

Our exclusive license to provide water to retail customers in the Cayman Islands mayhas not be renewed inbeen expressly extended and we are presently unable to predict the future.outcome of our on-going negotiations relating to this license.

In the Cayman Islands, we provideWe sell water tothrough our retail customersoperations under a license issued in July 1990 by the Cayman Islands government (the “1990 license”) that grants our subsidiary,granted Cayman Water the exclusive right to provide potable water to retail customers within ourits licensed service area. Although the 1990 license was not expressly extended after January 2018, we continue to supply water under the terms of the 1990 license, as further discussed in the following paragraph. Pursuant to the 1990 license, we haveCayman Water has the exclusive right to produce potable water and distribute it by pipeline to ourits licensed service area, which consists of two of the three most populated areas of Grand Cayman theIsland: Seven Mile Beach and West Bay areas.Bay. For the three months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, we generated approximately 33%25% and 38%32%, respectively, of our consolidated revenuesrevenue and 48%44% and 52%44%, respectively, of our consolidated gross profit from the retail water operations conducted pursuant to Cayman Water’s exclusiveunder the 1990 license. For the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016, we2021, the Company generated approximately 38%29% and 40%33%, respectively, of ourits consolidated revenuesrevenue and 52%45% and 55%47%, respectively, of ourits consolidated gross profit from the retail water operations conducted pursuant to Cayman Water’s exclusiveunder the 1990 license.

42

The 1990 license was originally scheduled to expire in July 2010 but has beenwas extended several times by the Cayman Islands government in order to provide the parties with additional time to negotiate the terms of a new license agreement. The most recent express extension of the license expiresexpired on January 31, 2018. We continue to operate under the terms of the 1990 license, providing water services to the level and quality specified in the 1990 license and in accordance with our understanding of its legal obligations, treating those obligations set forth in the 1990 license as operative notwithstanding the expiration of the express extension. We continue to pay the royalty required under the 1990 license.

In October 2016, the Government of the Cayman Islands passed legislation which created a new utilities regulation and competition office (“OfReg”). OfReg is an independent and accountable regulatory body with a view of protecting the rights of consumers, encouraging affordable utility services, and promoting competition. OfReg, which began operations in January 2017, has the ability to supervise, monitor and regulate multiple utility undertakings and markets. Supplemental legislation was passed by the Government of the Cayman Islands in April 2017, which transferred responsibility for the economic regulation of the water utility sector and the negotiations with us for a new retail license from the Water Authority-Cayman to OfReg. In July 2017, weOfReg in May 2017. We began license negotiations with OfReg for a new retail license in the Cayman IslandsJuly 2017 and such negotiations are continuing.

Theongoing. We have been informed during our retail license negotiations, both by OfReg and its predecessor in these negotiations, that the Cayman Islands government could ultimately offer a third party a licenseseeks to service some or all of Cayman Water’s present service area. However, as set forth in the existing license, “the Governor hereby agrees that upon the expiry of the term of this Licence or any extension thereof, he will not grant a licence or franchise to any other person or company for the processing, distribution, sale and supply of water within the Licence Area without having first offered such a licence or franchise to the Company on terms no less favourable thanrestructure the terms offeredof our license in a manner that could significantly reduce the operating income and cash flows we have historically generated from our retail license.

We are presently unable to such other person or company.”

Thedetermine what impact the resolution of theseour retail license negotiations will have on our cash flows, financial condition or results of operations but such resolution could result in a material reduction (or the loss) of the operating income and cash flows we have historically generated from our retail licenseoperations and could require us to record an impairment losslosses to reduce the carrying valuevalues of our goodwill.retail segment assets. Such impairment losslosses could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

However, we mayreplace the revenue that is lost from contracts that are not be successful in completing this project.extended could adversely impact our financial results.

We own a 99.99% interest in N.S.C. Agua, S.A. de C.V.PERC, our principal services segment subsidiary, generates most of its revenue from contracts (“NSC”O&M contracts”), a development stage Mexico company formed to pursue a project encompassing the construction, operation and minority ownership of a 100 million gallon per day seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant to be located in northern Baja California, Mexico and an accompanying pipeline to deliver water to the Mexican potable water system (the “Project”). As of September 30, 2017, our condensed consolidated balance sheet includes purchases for the Project of approximately $21.4 million for land, right of ways and equipment. The project development activities we have conducted, which include conducting an equipment piloting plant and water data collection program at the proposed feed water source, completing various engineering studies and obtaining various governmental permits, have resulted in additional developmental expenses totaling $22.6 million from 2010 through September 30, 2017.

In August 2014, the State of Baja California (the “State”) enacted new legislation to regulate Public-Private Association projects which involve the type of long-term contract between a public-sector authority and a private party that NSC is seeking to complete the Project. Pursuant to this new legislation, in January 2015, NSC submitted an expression of interest for its project to the Secretary of Infrastructure and Urban Development of the State of Baja California (“SIDUE”). SIDUE accepted NSC’s expression of interest and requested that NSC submit a detailed proposal for the Project that complied with requirements of the new legislation. NSC submitted this detailed proposal (the “APP Proposal”) to SIDUE in late March 2015. The new legislation required that such proposal be evaluated by SIDUE and submitted to the Public-Private Association Projects State Committee (the “APP Committee”) for review and authorization. If the Project was authorized the State would be required to conduct a public tender for the Project.

In response to our APP Proposal, in September 2015 NSC received a letter dated June 30, 2015 from the Director General of the Comisión Estatal del Agua de Baja California (“CEA”), the State agency with responsibility for the Project that stated (i) the Project is in the public interest with high social benefits and is consistent with the objectives of the State development plan; and (ii) that the Project and accompanying required public tender process should be conducted. In November 2015, the State officially commenced the tender for the Project, the scope of which the State defined as a first phase to be operational in 2019 consisting of a 50 million gallon per day plant and a pipeline that connects to the Mexican potable water infrastructure and a second phase to be operational in 2024 consisting of an additional 50 million gallons per day of production capacity. A consortium comprised of NSC, NuWater S.A.P.I. de C.V. and Degremont S.A. de C.V. (the “Consortium”) submitted its tender for the Project on the April 21, 2016 tender submission deadline date set by the State.

We have acknowledged since the inception of the Project that, due to the amount of capital the Project requires, NSC will ultimately need an equity partner or partners for the Project. Consequently, NSC’s tender to the State for the Project was based upon the following: (i) NSC will sell or otherwise transfer the land and other Project assets to a new company (“Newco”) that would build and own the Project; (ii) NSC’s potential partners would provide the majority of the equity for the Project and thereby would own the majority interest in Newco; (iii) NSC would maintain a minority ownership position in Newco; and (iv) Newco would enter into a long-term management and technical services contract for the Project with an entity partially owned by NSC or another Company subsidiary.

On June 15, 2016, the State designated the Consortium as the winner of tender process for the Project.

On August 17, 2016, NSC and NuWater incorporated Newco under the name Aguas de Rosarito S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“AdR”), a special purpose company, to complete the Project and executed a shareholders agreement agreeing among other things that: (i) AdR would purchase the land and other Project assets from NSC on the date that the Project begins commercial operation and (ii) AdR would enter into a Management and Technical Services Agreement with NSC effective on the first day that the Project begins commercial operation. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, NSC owned 99.6% of AdR.

On August 22, 2016, the Public Private Partnership Agreement for public private partnership number 002/2015, contest number SIDUE-CEA-APP-2015-002 (“APP Contract”), was executed between AdR, the State Water Commission of Baja California (“CEA”), the Government of Baja California represented by the Secretary of Planning and Finance and the Public Utilities Commission of Tijuana (“CESPT”). The APP Contract requires AdR to design, construct, finance and operate a seawater desalination plant (and accompanying aqueducts) with a capacity of up to 100 million gallons per day in two phases: the first with a capacity of 50 million gallons per day and an aqueduct to the Mexican potable water system in Tijuana, Baja California; and the second phase with a capacity of 50 million gallons per day and an aqueduct to a second delivery point in Tijuana. The first phase must be operational within 36 months of commencing construction and the second phase must be operational by the end of 2024. The APP Contract further requires AdR to operate and maintain water treatment and reuse facilities owned by third parties. For the plantthree and aqueducts for a periodnine months ended September 30, 2022, we generated revenue of 37approximately $3.3 million and $10.4 million, respectively, under these O&M contracts. PERC’s O&M contracts have terms ranging from one to five years, starting fromwith varying renewal options exercisable solely at the commencement of operationdiscretion of the first phase. At the endcustomer. Approximately 32% of the operating period, the plant and aqueducts will be transferred to CEA.

The total Project cost for Phase 1 is expected to be approximately 9.1 billion Mexican pesos. Annual revenues from the Project for Phase 1 are expected to be approximately 1.79 billion Mexican pesos. Water rates under the APP Contract are indexed to the Mexican national consumer price index over its term. Electrical energy costs incurred by AdR to desalinate and deliver water are treated as a pass-through charge to CEA, subject to efficiency guarantees. AdR expects to raise Mexican peso denominated debt financing through a consortium led by the North American Development Bank, which also provided financial advisory services to the Consortium through the bidding process and contract negotiations.

40

The APP Contract does not become effective until the following conditions are met:

·the State has established and registered various payment trusts, guaranties and bank credit lines for specific use by the Project;
·the CEA has obtained the rights from the relevant federal authority to take and desalinate seawater and distribute it for municipal use;
·various agreements between the CEA, the payment trusts and the CESPT have been executed;
·AdR has obtained all rights of ways required for the Phase 1 aqueduct;
·AdR has obtained permission from the relevant federal authority to discharge the residual water from the Project’s desalination plant; and
·all equity and debt financing agreements necessary to provide the funding to AdR for the first phase of the Project have been executed.

On December 30, 2016, the Congress of the State of Baja California, Mexico passed Decreto #57 which, among other things, ratified and authorized the execution of the APP Contract.  Earlier this year, following consultations between representatives of the State of Baja California and the Ministry of Finance of the Federal Government of Mexico, it was determined that certain amendments to Decreto #57 were required in order to comply with recent changes to the Federal Fiscal Discipline Law.  In addition, during the course of its recent due diligence related to the potential financing of the Project, the North American Development Bank requested that the State of Baja California amend Decreto #57 to authorize the inclusion of revenues from the CESPT in the primary payment trustPERC’s revenue for the Project.  These amendments are included in Decreto #95 which is currently under consideration by the Congress of the State of Baja California.  We cannot say with any certainty whether or not Decreto #95 will be approved by the Congress.  In the event that Decreto #95 is ultimately not approved, we may not be able to obtain the debt financing required to complete the Project.

As ofnine months ended September 30, 2017, AdR has paid approximately $665,000 for deposits on, or purchases of, rights of way for the Phase 1 aqueduct, which2022 was generated under O&M contracts that expire at various dates through December 31, 2023. If we are included in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Both the exchange rate for the Mexico peso relative to the dollar and general macroeconomic conditions in Mexico have varied since the U.S. Presidential election in November 2016. These changes could adversely impact the estimated construction, operating, and financing costs for the Project. The APP Contract and the APP Law allow for the parties to negotiate (but do not guarantee) modifications to the water tariff in the event of such significant macroeconomic condition changes. In February 2017, AdR submitted proposals to the CEA requesting an increase to the water tariff to compensate for changes in foreign exchange rates, lending rates and certain changes in law which have impacted the Project. If AdR is unable to obtain this requested increase in the water tariff, it may beextensions of these expiring O&M contracts or are unable to obtainreplace the debt and equity financing required for the Project. We are currently unable to determine whether or not such water tariff increase will be approved.

If AdR is ultimately unable to proceedrevenue lost from contracts that expire with the Project, the land NSC has purchased and the right of way deposits may lose their strategic importance as the site for the Project and consequently may decline in value. If AdR does not proceed with the Project, NSC may ultimately be unable to sell this land or recoup their right of way deposits for an amount at least equal to its current carrying value of approximately $21.2 million ($20.56 million for the land and $665,000 for the right of way deposits), and any loss on sale of the land, or impairment loss NSC may be required to record as a result of a decrease in the fair value could have a material adverse impact on the Company’srevenue from new O&M contracts, our consolidated financial condition, results of operations.operations, and cash flows would be adversely affected.

EWG Water LLC (“EWG”), a minority shareholder in NSC, has filed a lawsuit against NSC, CW-Cooperatief, the Public Registry of Commerce of Tijuana, Baja California, and other parties in the Civil Court located in Tecate, Baja California, Mexico.

In this lawsuit, EWG challenged, among other things, the capital investment transactions that increased our ownership interest in NSC to 99.99%. EWG requested that the court, as a preliminary matter: (a) suspend the effectiveness of the challenged transactions; (b) order public officials in Mexico to record the pendency of the lawsuit in the public records; and (c) appoint an inspector for NSC to oversee its commercial activities. The court granted, ex-parte, the preliminary relief sought by EWG, which resulted in the placement of inscriptions for the lawsuit on NSC’s public records.

EWG also sought an order directing, among other things: (i) NSA, NSC and CW-Cooperatief to refrain from carrying out any transactions with respect to the Project; and (ii) NSA, NSC and CW-Cooperatief, and the partners thereof, to refrain from transferring any interests in NSA, NSC and CW-Cooperatief.

On May 2, 2017, the Tecate, Mexico court declared that the initial filing of this lawsuit had expired due to EWG’s lack of activity with respect to certain actions required to proceed to trial. However, EWG can appeal the expiration or refile the lawsuit.

This litigation could adversely impact our efforts to complete the Project.

If the future financial performance of Aerex falls short of our recently acquiredmost recent financial projections for this subsidiary, Aerex does not improve, we may be required to record further impairment losses to reduce the carrying valuevalues of the goodwill arisingand intangible assets of our manufacturing reporting unit.

Approximately 80% of Aerex’s revenue, and 89% of Aerex’s gross profit, for the year ended December 31, 2020 were generated from sales to one customer. While Aerex sells various products to this customer, Aerex’s revenue from this acquisition.

customer has historically been derived primarily from one specialized product. In February 2016, we acquiredOctober 2020, this customer informed Aerex that, for inventory management purposes, it was suspending its purchases of the specialized product from Aerex following 2020 for a 51% ownership interest in Aerex. In connectionperiod of approximately one year. This customer informed Aerex at that time that it expected to recommence its purchases of the specialized product from Aerex beginning with this acquisition, we recorded initial goodwillthe first quarter of $8,035,211. Aerex’s actual results of operations in the months following our acquisition2022. As a result of this company fell significantly shortanticipated loss of the projected results that were included in the overall cash flow projections we utilized to determine the purchase pricerevenue for Aerex, and the fair values of its assets and liabilities. Due to this shortfall in Aerex’s results of operations, we updated our projections for Aerex’sour manufacturing reporting unit’s future cash flows andflows. Such projections assumed, in part, that Aerex’s major customer would recommence its purchases from Aerex in 2022 but at a reduced aggregate amount, as compared to 2020. Based upon these updated projections, we tested Aerex’sour manufacturing reporting unit’s goodwill for possible impairment as of September 30, 2016 by estimating its fair valueDecember 31, 2020 using the discounted cash flow method.and guideline public company methods, with a weighting of 80% and 20% applied to these two methods, respectively. As

43

a result of these impairment tests, we determined that the estimated fair value of our manufacturing reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 31% as of December 31, 2020.

In late July 2021, this former major customer communicated to Aerex that it expected to recommence its purchases of the specialized product from Aerex in 2022 and subsequent years, but informed Aerex that such purchases would be at substantially reduced annual amounts, as compared to the amounts it had purchased from Aerex in 2020 and prior years. Our updated sales estimate for this customer based on this new information was substantially below the anticipated sales to this customer for 2022 and subsequent years that we used in the discounted cash flow projections we prepared for purposes of testing our manufacturing reporting unit’s goodwill for possible impairment as of December 31, 2020. Furthermore, Aerex’s efforts to replace the revenue previously generated from this customer with revenue from existing and new customers have been adversely impacted by the continuing negative economic conditions (caused in part by the COVID-19 pandemic) which have increased Aerex’s raw material costs, resulted in raw material shortages and extended delivery times for such materials, and also adversely affected the overall financial condition of Aerex’s current and prospective customer base. Accordingly, in light of this new information from Aerex’s former major customer and the on-going weak economic conditions that we believed would continue through 2022, we updated our projections of future cash flows for the manufacturing reporting unit and tested its goodwill for possible impairment as of June 30, 2021 using the discounted cash flow and guideline public company methods, with a weighting of 80% and 20% applied to these two methods, respectively. Based upon this testing, we determined that the carrying value of our Aerex goodwillmanufacturing reporting unit exceeded its fair value by $2.9 million, and we recorded an impairment loss of $1,750,000to reduce our manufacturing reporting unit’s goodwill by this amount for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162021.

The accounting estimates and assumptions we employ to reduceestimate the fair values of our manufacturing and reporting units constitute “critical accounting estimates” for us because:

the nature of these estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change (for example, should interest rates rise significantly in the future we would likely be required to increase the discount rate we use under the discounted cash flow method we use to estimate the fair values of our reporting units, and such increased discount rate in and of itself could decrease the estimated fair value of our reporting units under the discounted cash flow method); and
the impact of the estimates and assumptions on financial condition and results of operations is material.

We believe the inherent uncertainties associated with the accounting estimates and assumptions we use for our estimates of our reporting units’ fair values have increased due to current, less predictable economic conditions, which have resulted in increasing raw material prices, extended and unexpected delays in the procurement and delivery of our raw materials, and have also, we believe, adversely affected our customers.

Based upon our estimation prepared as of December 31, 2021, the fair value of our manufacturing reporting unit exceeded its carrying value of this goodwill to $6,285,211. Weby only 15%. If we determine in the future that Aerex’s discounted future cash inflows will be less than our present expectations, we may be required to record additional impairment losses to reduce the remaining carrying valuevalues as of September 30, 2022 of our Aerexmanufacturing reporting unit’s goodwill in future periods if we determine it likely that Aerex’s results of operations will fall short$1,985,211 and its remaining unamortized intangible assets balances of our most recent projections$777,778 recorded as a result of its future cash flows. Suchthe acquisition of Aerex. Any such impairment losses could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations.

Current economic conditions are adversely impacting the supply chain for our operations and could have a material adverse impact on our financial results.

41

As a result of the economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and other factors, we are experiencing issues with our supply chain for the raw materials, components, chemicals, and capital expenditures used in our operations, including rapidly increasing prices, scarcities/shortages, and longer fulfillment times and unexpected delays for our orders to suppliers. Should these economic conditions and issues continue, our operations could be adversely affected, which could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

44

The profitability of our contracts is dependent upon our ability to accurately estimate construction and operating costs.

The cost estimates we prepare in connection with the construction and operation of our water plants, the water infrastructure we construct and sell to third parties, and our manufacturing contracts, are subject to inherent uncertainties. Additionally, the terms of our water supply contracts may require us to guarantee the price of water on a per unit basis, subject to certain annual inflation and monthly energy cost adjustments, and to assume the risk that the costs associated with producing this water may be greater than anticipated. Because we base our contract prices in part on our estimation of future construction, manufacturing and operating costs, the profitability of our plants and our manufacturing and management contracts is dependent on our ability to estimate these costs accurately. The cost of materials and services and the cost of the delivery of such services may increase significantly after we submit our bid for contract, which could cause the gross profit for a contract to be less than we anticipated when the bid was made. The profit margins we initially expect to generate from a management contract could be further reduced if future operating costs for that contract exceed our estimates of such costs. Any construction, manufacturing, and operating costs for our contracts that significantly exceed our initial estimates could adversely impact our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
