**ORIGINCLEAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

**(unaudited)**

**1.** **Organization and Line of Business**

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of OriginClear, Inc. ("OCLN" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. These financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**Subsidiaries**

The Company's primary operating subsidiary is Water On Demand, Inc. ("WODI"), formed on September 21, 2023, through the merger of Progressive Water Treatment, Inc. ("PWT") with a newly created majority-owned entity. PWT, acquired by OCLN in 2015, remains WODI's only active business unit. PWT engineers and manufactures custom water treatment solutions for commercial and industrial customers.

The Modular Water Systems ("MWS") division, previously focused on pre-fabricated infrastructure for decentralized treatment, was fully deactivated during the second quarter of 2025. On May 8, 2025, WODI's Board approved the wind-down of MWS as part of a strategic shift away from direct equipment competition. Currently, all production activity in the division has been shut down and the Company is in the process of finalizing the remaining balance sheet items. (See Note 3).

Water On Demand #1, Inc. ("WOD #1") is a Delaware statutory series entity managed by the Company. Capital raised under the Company's ongoing Series Y offering is aggregated in WOD #1 and advanced to WODI through intercompany transactions which are eliminated in consolidation.

**Joint Venture** 

On September 16, 2025, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Block40X Inc. ("Block40X"), a Wyoming corporation, to form a Wyoming limited liability company (the "Block40X JV"). Each party holds a 50% membership interest. The purpose of the Block40X JV is to finance, develop, construct, and manage Bitcoin mining facilities in the United States.

In connection with the agreement, the Company granted Block40X restricted stock equal to approximately 5% of the Company's common shares outstanding on the effective date, pursuant to the Company's existing restricted stock grant agreement. The Company's contributions consist of funding and financing activities. Block40X's contributions consist of site origination, technical expertise, and assistance with financing and tax modeling. Additional contributions, if required, will be made pro rata or as otherwise agreed.

The Block40X JV is governed by a three-member board of managers, consisting of one representative from each party and one independent manager. Distributions of available cash will be made to members pro rata after reserves for obligations. The agreement includes standard termination provisions, including failure to meet funding milestones or material breach. Management has determined that the Block40X JV will be accounted for under the equity method in accordance with ASC 323. As of March 31, 2026, the Block40X JV had no material assets, liabilities, or operations, and no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

On September 26, 2025, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Bitmern Investments LLC, a subsidiary of Bitmern Technologies LLC, to form a Florida limited liability company (the "Bitmern JV"). Ownership of the Bitmern JV is allocated 60% to Bitmern Investments LLC and 40% to the Company.

The Bitmern JV is intended to finance, develop, and operate large-scale Bitcoin mining hosting facilities, beginning with a pilot project of up to 200 MW in the United States. Bitmern's contributions include site origination, project management, hosting operations, technical expertise, and related intellectual property. The Company's contributions consist of financing activities, capital markets strategy, and compliance support. The Bitmern JV is governed by a three-member board of managers, with each party appointing one representative and jointly selecting an independent member. Bitmern appoints the Chair and Chief Executive Officer. Major decisions, including debt incurrence, equity issuances, and material contracts, require supermajority approval.

Management has determined that the Bitmern JV will be accounted for under the equity method in accordance with ASC 323. As of March 31, 2026, the Bitmern JV had no material assets, liabilities, or operations, and no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company formed OriginSpark Holdings LLC ("OriginSpark"), a Wyoming limited liability company, to pursue potential investments and joint venture opportunities related to digital infrastructure and data center development activities. Investments in OSH will also get percentage ownership in the Bitmern and Block40X JV's. As of March 31, 2026, OriginSpark was in process of raising capital and has no operating activity.

On January 27, 2026, the Company, through Water On Demand, Inc., entered into a joint venture arrangement with a third party to pursue mobile water treatment infrastructure opportunities through a Texas-based entity. The joint venture is structured as a 50/50 owned entity with shared governance between the parties. Management has determined that the joint venture will be accounted for under the equity method in accordance with ASC 323. As of March 31, 2026, the joint venture is in startup planning and has no material assets, liabilities, operations, or impact on the consolidated financial statements.

**Basis of presentation**

The accompanying interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ending March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or any other future period. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

**Going concern**

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Recurring losses, negative operating cash flows and significant liquidity constraints have led the Company's auditors to express substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing additional financing through convertible notes and preferred stock offerings while leveraging existing backlog and receivables. There can be no assurance that required financing will be available or on terms acceptable to the Company, and any future financing may involve restrictive covenants or shareholder dilution.

 **2.** **Summary of significant accounting policies**

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC Regulation S-X Rule 10-01. Except for the updates described below, the Company's significant accounting policies are unchanged from those disclosed in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements in the 2025 Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction therewith.

**Use of estimates**

Management uses estimates in preparing financial statements. Key estimates include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, fair value of derivatives and investments, stock-based compensation, warranty reserves, and deferred tax valuation allowances.

**Revenue recognition**

The Company follows ASC 606. Product revenue is recorded at shipment when control transfers. Construction-type contracts are recognized over time using an input-cost method that depicts transfer of control to the customer. Contract losses are recognized immediately when determined. Contract receivables, contract assets, and contract liabilities reflect the timing difference between performance and customer billing.

**Loss per share** 

Basic loss per share is net loss divided by weighted-average common shares. Diluted loss per share is the same as basic because all potential common shares are anti-dilutive.

**Fair value of financial instruments**

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified under ASC 820's three-level hierarchy. Derivative liabilities are Level 3 and are measured at each end of the period. No material changes in valuation techniques or inputs have occurred since December 31, 2025, so interim disclosure of Level 1 and Level 2 hierarchy tables is omitted per ASC 820-10-50-2A.

The following table reconciles the Company's Level 3 derivative liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2026:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Total** | **(Lvl 1)** | **(Lvl 2)** | **(Lvl 3)** |
| Convertible notes liability | $(13000000) | $- | $- | $(13000000) |
| Warrants liability | (37500) | - | - | (37500) |
| **Total derivative liability** | $**(13037500)** | $**-** | $**-** | $**(13037500)** |

---

**Leases**

Under ASC 842, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of lease payments. Short-term leases (12 months or less) are expensed as incurred.

**Stock-based compensation** 

Equity awards are measured at grant-date fair value and recognized over vesting periods under ASC 718. Warrants issued for services or financing are recorded at fair value on the grant date.

**Derivatives**

The Company evaluates all instruments for embedded derivative features and records derivatives at fair value with changes recognized in earnings. A binomial lattice model is used for valuation; classification between liability and equity is reassessed each period.

**Equity Investments and Joint Ventures**

The Company accounts for investments in entities over which it exercises significant influence but does not have control under the **equity method of accounting (ASC 323).** Under this method, the investment is initially recorded at cost and adjusted each period for the Company's proportionate share of the investee's net income or loss and other comprehensive income, if applicable. When the Company's share of cumulative losses exceeds the carrying amount of the investment, the balance is reduced to zero, and additional losses are recognized only to the extent the Company has committed to providing financial support.

The Company's joint ventures and equity method investments, including the Block40X JV, Bitmern-OriginSpark JV LLC, and GridWater Inc., are accounted for under this method. As of March 31, 2026, none of these ventures had material assets, liabilities, or operations, and no earnings or losses were recognized.

**Other policies**

Policies for consolidation, cash and cash equivalents, contract assets and liabilities, prepaid expenses, property and equipment, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, marketable securities, work-in-process, recently issued pronouncements, and reclassifications remain as disclosed in the 2025 Form 10-K.

**Interim reporting** 

Footnote disclosure that would duplicate the 2025 Form 10-K such as detailed loss-per-share reconciliation tables, property and equipment roll-forwards, or full fair-value hierarchy tables is omitted for this interim filing under Regulation S-X Rule 10-01, including property roll forwards, full EPS tables, and fair value levels 1 and 2.

**Recently issued accounting pronouncements**

Management has evaluated all recently issued accounting standards and does not expect any to have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

**Reclassifications** 

Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation with no effect on previously reported net loss or shareholders' deficit.

**3.** **Discontinued Operations**

In the second quarter of 2025, the Company finalized its plan to wind down its Modular Water Systems ("MWS") business unit following the resignation of MWS's lead executive and a strategic review of operations. Management concluded that MWS no longer aligned with the Company's long-term objectives and ceased all activity during the quarter. The business met the criteria for discontinued operations under ASC 205-20.

All prior period financial information has been recast to reflect MWS as a discontinued operation. The wind-down was completed in 2025, and no material costs are expected in future periods.

**7.** **Restricted Stock Grants and Warrants - OCLN**

**Restricted Stock Grants**

The Company has outstanding performance-based RSGAs with its chief executive officer, directors, employees, and consultants. Shares vest only upon achievement of two cumulative, trailing-twelve-month milestones: (i) consolidated gross revenue of at least $15 million and (ii) consolidated operating profit of at least $1.5 million, both as reported under U.S. GAAP.

The Board subsequently approved an alternative vesting mechanism: if a milestone is not achieved but the fair-market value ("FMV") of the Company's common stock on a scheduled vesting date is below the FMV on the RSGA effective date, the number of shares that vest is adjusted so that the aggregate FMV of the vested shares equals the grant-date FMV. Once either Company performance milestone is met, only the original milestone-based vesting schedule will apply to any remaining unvested shares.

As of March 31, 2026, neither milestone had been met; accordingly, no new stock-based compensation expense has been recognized.

**Warrants**

A summary of OCLN's warrant activity and related information for the three months ended March 31, 2026, is as follows:

**13.** **Water On Demand, Inc. ("WODI")**

Water On Demand, Inc. ("WODI") is a subsidiary of OriginClear, Inc., which held 12,171,067 of the 22,781,322 outstanding shares of WODI common stock as of March 31, 2026, representing a 53.43% ownership interest. The Company consolidates WODI's financial results in accordance with ASC 810 (see Note 2).

**Strategic Developments** 

On April 14, 2023, WODI acquired the MWS business unit from OriginClear, Inc. including related assets, patents, and intellectual property. Subsequently, on September 21, 2023, WODI merged with PWT, a Texas-based water solutions provider with a 20-year history in delivering commercial and industrial water treatment solutions. The combined entity operated under the WODI name in preparation for a proposed Nasdaq listing via merger with FRLA.

On December 9, 2024, the proposed business combination with FRLA was terminated due to increasing regulatory costs, extended timelines, and changing market conditions. FLRA subsequently dissolved and returned capital to its shareholders.

On May 8, 2025, WODI's Board approved the wind-down of the MWS business unit, eliminating overlapping product lines and streamlining operations around PWT's standardized, financeable systems. WODI no longer pursues new business under the MWS brand. (see note 3).

**Restricted-Stock Grant Agreements** 

Between August 12, 2022, and August 3, 2023, WODI approved restricted-stock grant agreements covering up to 15,550,000 WODI common shares for directors, employees, and consultants. Shares vest upon the earlier of (i) WODI's common stock being listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) the third anniversary of the grant date, subject in each case to quarterly trading-volume thresholds. No restricted shares vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and no compensation expense was recognized because vesting was not considered probable under ASC 718.

**14.** **Commitments and Contingencies**

**Facility Lease**

The Company leases its production facility at 5225 W. Houston, Sherman, Texas, under a non-cancelable operating lease that began July 1, 2024. (see Note 4) The lease is triple-net, and the current monthly base rent is $13,313. Lease payments due after March 31, 2026 total $578,437.

**Warranty Reserve**

PWT projects are generally warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for one year from the date of completion, with certain construction areas and materials having extended guarantees. Based on historical experience, known risks related to critical components, and management's assessment, the Company recorded a warranty reserve of $50,000 as of March 31, 2026. This reserve reflects potential liabilities related to high-value components (pumps, RO membranes, and EDI modules). Management believes this reserve is adequate to cover probable warranty claims. This reserve is reviewed quarterly for adequacy.

**ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

This Quarterly Report on Form 10Q includes forward-looking statements (e.g., "believes," "expects," "may") as defined under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Exchange Act of 1934. These are based on current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially. The statements speak only as of the date of this report, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update them unless required by law. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.

**Overview**

OriginClear, Inc. ("OriginClear," "OCLN," or the "Company") was incorporated in Nevada on June 1, 2007, and focuses primarily on supporting the growth and development of its majority-owned subsidiary, Water On Demand, Inc. ("WODI").Water On Demand

WODI has a wholly owned subsidiary PWT Tech Inc. ("PWT"), headquartered in Sherman, Texas, as its sole active revenue-producing business. PWT designs, manufactures, and services custom-engineered water treatment systems for commercial and industrial applications.

During the second quarter of 2025, the WODI Board of Directors approved the wind-down of Modular Water Systems ("MWS"), a previously active design-build unit within WODI. As of March 31, 2026, MWS is no longer in operation, and its financial results are presented as discontinued operations in this report.

Concurrently, WODI formally shifted its strategic focus from manufacturing operations toward the development of a water infrastructure financing platform, including its Opportunity Zone Fund strategy. The fund structure was designed to support financing for decentralized water treatment systems in underserved communities while utilizing available federal tax incentive structures. The fund had been formed but had not raised external capital as of March 31, 2026.

**Recent Developments**

On October 14, 2025, the Company announced its intent to form a strategic joint venture with Georgetown, Texas-based Enviromaintenance to deploy and operate mobile wastewater treatment plants throughout Texas. The partnership is designed to serve industrial customers with immediate water treatment needs, particularly in areas where centralized services are limited or unavailable.

This new venture builds on prior collaboration plans for the sale of standardized systems within the Greater Central Texas Region, spanning from Waco to San Antonio. Under the proposed structure, Water On Demand, through its affiliate, will provide capital for the acquisition of waste removal and recycling mobile vacuum trucks, while Enviromaintenance will purchase, operate, and manage these units utilizing its proprietary wastewater treatment technology within an exclusive Texas territory.

Water On Demand, Inc. is a C-Corporation and its subsidiary, WODI LLC, as a Qualified Opportunity Zone Business ("QOZB"). It also created a wholly owned subsidiary WODI Sponsor LLC, which operates the business, and performs functions such as administration and contract management. Capital for WODI Sponsor LLC will be raised by selling membership units in the entity to limited partners. WODI is the General Partner of WODI Sponsor LLC. The WOD QOZ Fund was established to support future project-related capital raising activities.

**Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.**

**Revenue and Cost of Goods Sold**

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $2,002,880, compared to $1,404,671 for the same period in 2025, increased $598,209 (43%). The increase was primarily driven by higher equipment contracts and pump station sales revenue.

Cost of goods sold increased to $1,448,752 in 2026, from $900,017 in 2025, an increase of $548,735 (61%). As a result, the Company recorded a gross profit of $554,128 compared to a profit of $504,654 in the first quarter of 2025.

**Selling and Marketing**

Selling and marketing expenses were $406,862 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $83,329 (26%) from $323,533 in 2025. The increase reflects increased advertising and commissions, as well as more project-specific marketing initiatives compared to the prior-year period.

**General and Administrative Expenses**

General and administrative expenses totaled $648,630 for the quarter, compared to $1,112,072 in 2025, a decrease of $463,442 (42%). Lower legal and professional fees contributed to the decrease as well as decreased payroll and benefit costs in the current period.

**Other Income and (Expenses)**

Other income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $(1,572,166), compared to $76,914 in 2025, a change of $(1,649,080). The swing was primarily driven by a $909,505 loss on change in derivative liability and a $320,000 loss on debt conversion

**Net Loss**

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $(2,073,530) compared with net loss of $(767,034) for the same period in 2025, a change of $1,306,496. The change was primarily driven by an increase in derivative losses and higher expenses associated with debt conversions.

Derivative values are highly sensitive to the Company's stock price, volatility, interest rates, and other contractual terms: shifts in these inputs can produce significant period-to-period fluctuations in reported results.

 **Liquidity and Capital Resources**

**Overview**

Liquidity reflects the Company's ability to fund operations and meet obligations. The Company has historically relied on capital raises and continues to pursue financing through convertible notes, equity offerings, and strategic partnerships.

The financial statements were prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring losses and held cash of $3,310,171 as of March 31, 2026. Management believes continued investor support and access to capital markets will be necessary to sustain operations.

However, Growth initiatives for the anticipated OZ-fund model will require external capital, which may be raised through equity or debt offerings.

**Critical Accounting Policies**

The Company's critical accounting policies, as described in its 2025 Form 10-K, remain unchanged. They include revenue recognition under ASC 606, expected-credit-loss measurement under ASC 326, fair-value accounting for derivatives under ASC 815, impairment testing for long-lived and indefinite-lived assets under ASC 360 and ASC 350, stock-based compensation under ASC 718, warranty-reserve estimation, and valuation-allowance assessment for deferred tax assets. Management's judgments and estimates in applying these policies could materially affect the financial statements.

**Trends and Outlook**

Management expects revenue for the remainder of 2026 to be driven by PWT's backlog. The wind-down of MWS eliminates a low-margin manufacturing line and allows resources to be redirected to financing activities. The Company's ability to raise additional capital on reasonable terms will be critical to funding operations and executing its decentralized water-finance strategy.

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditure.

**ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

The Company is a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, and is not required to provide the information required by this item.

**ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of that date. This conclusion reflects the constraints of a small finance team and the complexity and timing of certain non-routine transactions this quarter, including debt and equity conversions.

**Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**Limitations on Internal Controls**

Internal controls provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance and, due to inherent limitations may not prevent or detect all misstatements.
