ITEM 1. BUSINESS
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Company History
Energy and Water Development Corp. (the “Company” or “EAWD”) was registered as a Florida corporation under the name Eagle International Holdings Group Inc. on December 12, 2007 and, on March 10, 2008, the Company changed its name to Eurosport Active World Corporation.
On March 17, 2008, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Acquisition (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with Inko Sport America, LLC (“ISA”), a privately-held Florida limited liability company. In connection with the closing of the Acquisition Agreement, the Company adopted ISA’s business plan and the Company’s current officers and directors were elected to their positions. This transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein ISA was considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. ISA was administratively dissolved in September 2010.
In September 2019, the Company changed its name to Energy and Water Development Corp. to better present the Company’s purpose and business sector.
The Business
We are an engineering services company formed as an outsourcing green tech platform, focused on sustainable water and energy solutions.
§
EAWD builds water and energy systems out of already-existing, proven technologies, utilizing our technical know-how to customize solutions to our clients’ needs.
§
The Company offers design, construction, maintenance and specialty consulting services to private companies, government entities and non-government organizations (NGOs).
In view of the increased world-wide demand for water and energy, our business goals are focused on water generation and green energy production. To accomplish this, we set out to establish an outsourcing green tech platform, providing engineering and technical consultation services to design the most sustainable technological solutions that can provide water and energy. We also intend to secure all required technical, maintenance, education, and training related to the identified technology solutions. To this end the Company has sought potential collaboration with green tech research and development centers in Europe and has established a branch in Hamburg Germany, where we have started to assemble the innovative Self Sufficient Power Supply Atmosphere Water Generation Systems (eAWGs).
The green tech industry is constantly evolving due to ongoing and increasing water scarcity as well as increased energy need in the world. Therefore, we believe that by designing the most sustainable renewable solutions to these problems, EAWD will become an essential component of a rapidly growing industry with many new markets. The green tech industry is complex because it still requires much promotion and information about its potential. Furthermore, regulations in each country are different and, in many cases, several segments are regulated by both national and local (state, provincial, municipal) governments. EAWD’s approach seeks to assist businesses with the growth and development of their general operations by ensuring the efficient, profitable, and sustainable supply/generation of water and energy allowing our potential customers to focus on their business while adopting strategies of sustainability. Using our identified technology, products, and services licensed or purchased from other technological sources, we are delivering and installing a product set that suits the green technology water and/or energy needs of our customers. By using the state-of-the art technological solutions and technologies identified, designed, and provided by EAWD and its collaborators, we believe that our potential clients will be free to focus on the performance of their operations as well as with the water and energy consumption or generation regulations within their industry. Our clients may be businesses seeking to upgrade their business processes or governmental entities seeking to apply green technology solutions for the water and energy they supply to their constituencies.
We continue to be a development stage company. The Company presently assembles its eAWGs at its workshop in Germany and outsources most of its engineering and technical services as well as services relating to the promotion, selling, and distribution of the identified technological solutions. We presently have only two employees: Mr. Hofmeier, our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board, and a significant stockholder, and Ms. Velazquez, our Chief Operating Officer, Vice-Chairman, and a significant stockholder.
We seek to focus on three main aspects of the water and energy business: (1) generation, (2) supply, and (3) maintenance. We seek to assist private companies, government entities and municipalities NGOs to build profitable and sustainable supplies/generation capabilities of water and energy as required by selling them the required technology or technical service to enhance their productivity/operability. With its outsourced technical arm and its commission-based global network of vendors, the Company expects to create sustainable added value to each project it takes on while generating revenue from its engineering and technical consultancy services, project management, sale of our Self Sufficient Power Supply Atmosphere Water Generation Systems (eAWGs) Solar Energy Generation Systems and Energy Management Systems, royalties from the commercialization of energy and water in certain cases, and revenues from the licensed innovated technologies.

Our Vision
The global atmospheric water generator market size was valued at USD 2.1 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.5% from 2020 to 2027. The main factors of concern for manufacturers are the high carbon footprint created from operations and the high-power requirement.
The mission of EAWD is to provide sustainable water generation systems based on high efficiency and renewable sources, and energy management solutions. Through a combination of the best design and configuration of state of the art technology-assisted solutions, EAWD has created a completely self-sufficient energy generation and water production system (eAWGs), which can be simultaneously used to meet potable water requirements as well as the electrical energy needs of the industrial sector.
EAWD promotes and commercializes its green technology solutions via commission-based distributers and agents worldwide.
Through our BlueTech Alliance for Water Generation, established in December 2020; we have state of the art technology partners, technology transfer agreements, and technology representation agreements in place relating to aspects of renewable energy and water supply. These unique key relationships offer important selling features and capabilities that differentiated EAWD from its competitors.
The Company plans to generate revenue from its engineering and technical consultancy services, project management, sale of our Self Sufficient Power Supply Atmosphere Water Generation Systems, Solar Energy Generation Systems, and Energy Management Systems, royalties from the commercialization of energy and water in certain cases, and revenues from the licensed innovated technologies.
Our Products
The technological solutions offered by our Company are the following:
Self Sufficient Power Supply Atmosphere Water Generation System (eAWGs) & Aqua Mission Systems
Today, atmosphere water generators (AWGs) are standard equipment in many places; however, operating AWGs requires high amounts of energy that is often not available in the places where they are needed most, making the price for the generated water very high. Our innovative eAWGs are designed to have an internal power supply and ability to generate power. Our eAWG system produces sufficient quantities of potable water even in very dry and hot climate conditions and can be scaled to almost any size, community, and/or population. Presently, AWGs are largely used in Asian and African countries. The majority of manufacturers of AWGs, which rely on dehumidifying, are located in China. Almost every U.S. based AWG brand is also supplied by manufacturers in China.
By contrast, EAWD uses a proven German technology for condensate water from the air based on A/C technology. We believe that this method allows higher, more efficient, sustainable performance and a larger quantity of water generation because of its internal power supply and because it does not require high humidity to function. EAWD has licensed the rights to use this German AWG technology for ninety-nine years. Our eAWGs line is different in size from the standard AWG water generator line. Our eAWGs are energy self-sufficient and can condense large amounts of water out of the atmosphere and we believe they could be a solution in countries around the world that deal with issues of water scarcity.
Our eAWG with an internal power supply works by first inhaling large volumes of air, then cooling the air down to the dew point, and finally collecting, filtering, and mineralizing the resulting condensed water. Through this process, pure drinking water is created that meets the quality standards of the World Health Organization (WHO). In regions with high temperatures and high humidity levels, a single system can generate up to 50,000 liters or 15,000 gallons of water per day. Our eAWGs line starts at 2,640 gallons/day and can expand the water supply to ONE acre-feet/day, which we believe, in effect, is essentially the ability to produce an unlimited supply of water. As a certified vendor of the United Nations Marketplace, EAWD is introducing the eAWGs to the UN with the hopes of initially supplying them to large refugee camps around the world in need of fresh water.
Solar Power Water Purification Systems
EAWD also seeks to respond to the growing need for drinking water by proposing a water purification solution utilizing solar, photovoltaic energy and, when applicable, a mini-windmill or other alternate source of renewable energy. The design of the system is ready to be built and delivered on demand.
Generally, drinking water is produced by passing sea water, lake water, river water, or stagnant water through several stages of purification and treatment until it is rendered drinkable in accordance with WHO standards. In the case of sea or stagnant water, we recommend a treatment via reverse osmosis membranes, which permits the retention of dissolved solids and results in obtaining water of drinking quality. If the water being treated emanates from lakes or rivers, we recommend treatment via an ultrafiltration membrane which functions by retaining suspended materials such as colloids, viruses and bacteria. The systems proposed by EAWD are containerized and contain all the equipment necessary to function autonomously, in part due to an automatic cleansing system that can be accessed remotely via satellite or the internet. Moreover, the machines use available renewable energy sources such as solar or wind.
Solar Power Systems - a high-quality frameless glass-glass solar panel with a supermatt surface.
Energy Storage Solutions - a highly capable Battery Management System (BMS) that allows controlled and optimized battery cell management.
Worldwide Business Relationships
EAWD has commission-based independent agents and distributors strategically placed around the world (i.e. Germany, Mexico, United States, India, Canada, Australia, Colombia, Nepal, Kenya, Morocco and Thailand. In total, we work with 34 commission-based independent agents and distributors to promote and sell EAWD’s technology solutions.
We believe that this worldwide presence through our agents and distributors will provide us access to the most important markets in need of water, energy, and energy management solutions.
Competition
The market witnesses the presence of a diversified array of large and small scale manufacturers resulting in a significant level of competition in the global market. The competition in the market, both in the residential and commercial sectors, is projected to grow in intensity and is characterized by the demand for advanced and reliable atmospheric water generator units. Rising demand for industrial-size eAWGs, particularly in regions facing water shortages, is expected to create opportunities for new market players such as EAWD through 2027. Moreover, current research that is focused on increasing overall product efficiency in the industry is anticipated to open new avenues for market players over the coming years. According to an atmospheric water generator market size report [published by Grand View Research in 2020], some of the prominent players in the atmospheric water generator (AWG) market include: Akvo Atmospheric Water Systems Pvt. Ltd., Dew Point Manufacturing, Saisons Trade & Industry Private Limited, Water Maker India Pvt. Ltd., Planets Water, Water Technologies International, Inc. (WTII), SkyWater Air Water Machines, Drinkable Air, Hendrx Water, Atlantis Solar, GENAQ Technologies S.L., Air2Water LLC, EcoloBlue, Inc and Watergen. On some level, each of these companies faces the two main industry challenges: carbon footprint and high-power requirement.
We compete by providing innovative systems assembled with state of the art technologies and that contain self-sufficient power supplies, which make them more sustainable and profitable than the traditional solutions. We also set ourselves apart by providing services that are valued by our customers such as reliable sales relationships, product innovations, and responses to changing market/business needs.
Government Regulation
The manufacturing, processing, testing, packaging, labeling, and advertising of the technologies that we sell may be subject to regulation by one or more U.S. federal agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Environmental Protection Agency, and by the standards provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the World Health Organization for drinking water. Our operations may also be regulated by various agencies of states, localities, and foreign countries in which consumers reside. Currently, the technologies we intend to use in our solutions and our services are not subject to any governmental regulation in the United States although it is possible that the FDA may choose to regulate the quality of water produced from atmospheric water generating machines in the near future.
Since the Company may be subject to a wide range of regulation covering every aspect of our business as mentioned above, we cannot predict the nature of any future U.S. laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative orders, when and if promulgated, would have on the business in the future. Although the regulation of water is less restrictive than that of drugs and food additives, we cannot offer assurance that the current statutory scheme and regulations applicable to water will remain less restrictive. Further, we cannot assure you that, under existing laws and regulations, or if more stringent statutes are enacted, regulations are promulgated, or enforcement policies are adopted, we are or will be in compliance with these new statutes, regulations or enforcement policies without incurring material expenses or adjusting our business strategy. Any laws, regulations, enforcement policies, interpretations or applications applicable to our business could require the reformulation of products, all of which are supplied by third parties, to meet new standards or the recall or discontinuance of certain products not capable of reformulation, additional record keeping, expanded documentation of the properties of certain products, expanded or different labeling or scientific substantiation.
Employees
As of December 31, 2020, we had two full-time employees. Over time, we will be required to hire employees or continue to engage independent contractors in order to execute the projects necessary to grow and develop the business. These decisions will be made by our officers and directors, if and when appropriate. We work with 34 commission-based agents and distributors to promote and sell the Company’s technology solutions. These agents and distributors are independent contractors with whom we have contractual relationships and are compensated solely based on commission.
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We elected to take advantage of all of these exemptions.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards, and delay compliance with new or revised accounting standards until those standards are applicable to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
We will be an emerging growth company until the last day of the first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our first common equity offering, although we will lose that status earlier if our annual revenues exceed $1.0 billion, if we issue more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt in any three-year period or if we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We will qualify as a “large accelerated filer” as of the first day of the first fiscal year after we have (i) more than $700,000,000 in outstanding common equity held by our non-affiliates as of the last day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter; (ii) been a public company for at least 12 months; and (iii) filed at least one annual report with the SEC. The value of our outstanding common equity will be measured each year on the last day of our second fiscal quarter.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink Market maintained by OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the symbol “EAWD”. Only a limited market exists for our securities. There is no assurance that a regular trading market will develop, or if developed, that it will be sustained. Therefore, a shareholder may be unable to resell the securities of our Company. On August 3, 2021, the Company’s common stock was moved to the OTC Pink marketplace as a result of failure to timely file this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
There is currently a limited market for our common stock and the volume of our common stock traded on any day may vary significantly from one day to another. Trading in stock quoted on any tier of the OTC Market’s is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. The availability of buyers and sellers represented by this volatility could lead to a market price for our common stock that is unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Market’s is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities quoted on the OTC Market’s is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a stock exchange like NYSE or NASDAQ. There is no assurance that there will be a sufficient market in our stock in the future, in which case it could be difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.
On September 16, 2021, the closing price of our common stock was $0.22 per share as reported on the OTC Pink Market maintained by OTC Markets Group, Inc.
The following table sets forth for the respective periods indicated the prices of our common stock in this market as reported and summarized by the OTC Markets. Such prices are based on inter-dealer bid and asked prices, without markup, markdown, commissions, or adjustments and may not represent actual transactions.

Penny Stock
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, shareholders may have difficulty selling our securities.
Holders
As of December 31, 2020, we had 765 record holders of our common stock, holding 123,316,886 shares of common stock. The number of record holders was determined from the records of our transfer agent and does not include beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in the names of bank, brokers and other nominees.
Dividends
We have not paid any cash dividends to our shareholders. The declaration of any future cash dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, and general economic conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.

Addressing challenges post-COVID-19
As of August 22, 2021, the cumulative number of cases reported globally is now over 211 million and the cumulative number of deaths is just over 4.4 million (WHO), and has caused the worst global economic contraction of the past 80 years (IMF). The concerted global efforts achieved the development of vaccines that have helped to reduce a person´s risk of contracting the virus. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, the disruptions due to COVID 19 could continue causing a materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If the corona virus cannot get under control and or worsens in any regions in which we have material operations or sales, our business activities originating from affected areas, including sales, manufacturing and supply chain related activities, could be adversely affected. Disruptive activities could include the temporary closure of our manufacturing facilities and those used in our supply chain processes, restrictions on the export or shipment of our products, significant cutback of ocean container delivery from Germany, business closures in impacted areas, and restrictions on our employees’ and consultants’ ability to travel and to meet with customers. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which still uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the virus variants and the actions to contain it or treat its impact, among others. COVID-19 could also continue to result in social, economic and labor instability in the countries in which we or our customers and suppliers operate.
If workers at one or more of our offices or the offices of our suppliers or manufacturers become ill or are quarantined and in either or both events are therefore unable to work, our operations could be subject to disruption. Further, if our manufacturers become unable to obtain necessary raw materials or components, we may incur higher supply costs or our manufacturers may be required to reduce production levels, either of which may negatively affect our financial condition or results of operations.
In light of these challenges, the Company is focusing its efforts on supporting key areas of our business that will help us to stabilize in the new environment and strategize for what comes next. Those key areas are: crisis and management response, workforce, operation and supply chain, finance and liquidity, tax, trade and regulatory, as well as strategy and brand.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements. Certain of these significant accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies, as defined below.
A critical accounting policy is defined as one that is both material to the presentation of our financial statements and requires management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Specifically, critical accounting estimates have the following attributes: 1) we are required to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the estimate; and 2) different estimates we could reasonably have used, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, would have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the financial statements as soon as they became known. Based on a critical assessment of our accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, management believes that our financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and present a meaningful presentation of our financial condition and results of operations. We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our financial statements:
Risks and Uncertainties - The Company’s business could be impacted by price pressure on its product manufacturing, acceptance of its products in the market place, new competitors, changes in federal and/or state legislation and other factors and new technology. If the Company is unsuccessful in securing adequate liquidity, its plans may be curtailed. Adverse changes in these areas could negatively impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements include the accounts of Energy and Water Development Corp and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been reflected herein.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates which are particularly significant to the financial statements include estimates relating to the determination of impairment of assets, assessment of going concern, the useful life of property and equipment, the determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation, and the recoverability of deferred income tax assets.
Leases
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842- Leases (“ASC 842”). The lease standard provided a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the package of practical expedients. As such, the Company did not have to reassess whether expired or existing contracts are or contain a lease; did not have to reassess the lease classifications or reassess the initial direct costs associated with expired or existing leases. The lease standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption under which the Company will not recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases. The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for certain classes of assets (facilities).
At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present in the arrangement. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and short-term and long-term lease liabilities, as applicable. The Company does not have operating or financing leases.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as stipulated by ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities or a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced to estimated amounts to be realized by the use of the valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is applied when in management’s view it is more likely than not (50%) that such deferred tax will not be utilized.
ASC 740 provides interpretative guidance for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In the unlikely event that an uncertain tax position exists in which the Corporation could incur income taxes, the Corporation would evaluate whether there is a probability that the uncertain tax position taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. A liability for uncertain tax positions would then be recorded if the Corporation determined it is more likely than not that a position would not be sustained upon examination or if a payment would have to be made to a taxing authority and the amount is reasonably estimable.
As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the Corporation does not believe any uncertain tax positions exist that would result in the Corporation having a liability to the taxing authorities. The Corporation’s policy is to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of interest expense and general and administrative expense, respectively, in the statement of operations. The Corporation’s tax returns for the years ended 2012 through 2019 are subject to examination by the federal and state tax authorities. The Corporation’s tax returns for the tax year ended 2020 has not been filed.
We record our provision for income taxes in our statements of operations by estimating our taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. We estimate our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences arising from differing treatment of items recognized for financial reporting versus tax return purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets, which are included in our balance sheets. In general, deferred tax assets represent future tax benefits to be received when certain expenses previously recognized in our statements of operations become deductible expenses under applicable income tax laws, or loss or credit carry forwards are utilized. Valuation allowances are recorded when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. We make these estimates and judgments about our future taxable income that are based on assumptions that are consistent with our future plans. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had recorded a full valuation allowance on our U.S. net deferred tax assets because we expect that it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets will not be realized in the foreseeable future. Should the actual amounts differ from our estimates, the amount of our valuation allowance could be materially impacted.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
To achieve this core principle, five basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company has not generated any revenues to date.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a measurement date. A fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
Described below are the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities,
Level 2 - Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data,
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.
Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company adjusts derivative financial instruments to fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value for other assets and liabilities such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, customer/investor deposit have been determined to approximate carrying amounts due to the short maturities of these instruments. The Company believes that its indebtedness approximates fair value based on current yields for debt instruments with similar terms.
Stock-Based Payments
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2018-07 (“ASU 2018-07”), “Improvement to Nonemployee Share Based Payment Accounting”, which expanded the scope of ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The guidance was applied prospectively to all new awards granted after the date of adoption. In addition, the guidance was applied to all existing equity-classified awards for which a measurement date has not been established under ASC 505-50 by the adoption date by remeasuring at fair value as of the adoption date and recording a cumulative effect adjustment to opening accumulated deficit on January 1, 2019.
For the Company’s equity-classified awards for which a measurement date has not been established under ASC 505-50, the fair value on January 1, 2019, the adoption date, approximated the value assigned on December 31, 2018, therefore no cumulative adjustment to opening accumulated deficit was required.
Under the revised guidance, the accounting for awards issued to non-employees will be similar to the model for employee awards, except that ASU 2018-07:
●
allows the Company to elect on an award-by-award basis to use the contractual term as the expected term assumption in the option pricing model, and
●
the cost of the grant is recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the grantor had paid cash.
Employee and Non-Employee Share Based Compensation
The Company applies ASC 718-10, “Share - Based Payment,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expenses for all share based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options under the Company’s stock plans and equity awards issued to non-employees based on estimated fair values.
ASC 718-10 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based option awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The fair value of the award is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods. The Company recognizes share based award forfeitures as they occur.
The Company estimates the fair value of granted option equity awards using a Black-Scholes options pricing model. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are share price, expected volatility and the expected option term (the time from the grant date until the options are exercised or expire). Expected volatility is estimated based on volatility of similar companies in the technology sector. The Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to issue dividends. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield from governmental zero-coupon bonds with an equivalent term. The expected option term is calculated for options granted to employees and directors using the “simplified” method. Grants to non-employees are based on the contractual term. Changes in the determination of each of the inputs can affect the fair value of the options granted and the results of operations of the Company.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses to improve information on credit losses for financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. In April 2019 and May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments” and ASU No. 2019-05, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief” which provided additional implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments - Credit Loss (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842),” which defers the effective date for public filers that are considered small reporting companies (“SRC”) as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Since the Company is an SRC, implementation is not needed until January 1, 2023. The Company will continue to evaluate the effect of adopting ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The new standard eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences related to changes in ownership of equity method investments and foreign subsidiaries. The guidance also simplifies aspects of accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates, and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. For public business entities, it is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its financial statements.
In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This standard eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. For public business entities, it is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years using the fully retrospective or modified retrospective method. Early adoption is permitted but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its financial statements.
Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report.
Comparison of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019
Revenue
During the fourth quarter of 2020, EAWD delivered its first equipment sale pursuant to an equipment sale agreement; however, the revenue of $550,000 along with the associate $350,000 of construction costs will not be recognized until the equipment is installed. The installation of the equipment has been deemed to be an unfulfilled performance obligation. The sales agreement, as amended states that EAWD will complete the equipment installation upon notice from the buyer of the final location of the system. Due to the COVID 19 situation in Mexico, the installation has been delayed. For the fiscal year 2019, we generated no revenue.
Cost of equipment sold
The equipment was manufactured by third-party fabricators in accordance with EAWD’s specifications at a cost to EAWD of $350,000, which will be recognized along with the revenue, once the equipment is installed. The manufacturer’s provided financing to EAWD to facilitate the delivery.
Gross profit
EAWD expect to recognize a gross profit from the sale and installation of equipment of $200,000, when the unit is installed in accordance with the terms of the equipment sale agreement, as amended.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense increased by $6,193,791 or 641% to $7,159,744 for the year ended December 31, 2020 from $965,953 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The following discussion provides further explanation of the change in each item.
The largest element of change was an increase in officer’s salaries to $6,000,000 or 1,900.0% as compared to $300,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019.The increase resulted primarily from the two following events. To begin, in the first quarter of 2020 the Company issued a combination of common and preferred stock whose value totaled $1,175,000 for our CEO and $1,063,000 for our COO in satisfaction of accrued salary accumulated during the previous years. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2020 the Company issued a combination of common and preferred stock whose value totaled $2,850,000 for each of our CEO and COO as a bonus for among other things, successful structuring the Company’s first equipment sale. The Company also issued preferred stock whose value totaled $300,000 for both our CEO and COO as settlement of unpaid accrued salaries.
There was $195,883 in increased professional fees from $339,605 for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $535,488 for the year ended December 31, 2020, which includes financial consulting, accounting services and legal fees. The bulk of the increase came from a $110,102 increase in financial consulting directed towards identifying and attracting sources of funding consulting as a result of an increase in spending from $134,400 for the year ended at December 31, 2019 compared to $244,503 for the year ended December 31, 2019. Legal fees accounted for $43,611 of the increase as fees increased from $167,152 for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $210,763 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The largest increase in legal fees focused on SEC activities, accounting for $61,631 of the legal fee increase. A $42,169 increase in accounting services from $38,053 for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $80,223 for the year ended December 31, 2020.
In addition to the increase in professional fees, we incurred increases and decreases in the following items:
·
$8,049 decrease for travel and entertainment a result of COVID-19 restrictions;
·
$272,244 increase for marketing and contact data base efforts,
·
$8,712 increase for other general and administrative expenses.
Other Income
Other income (expense) decreased by $493,328 from $60,288 income for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $433,040 loss for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to the following:
·
$1,455,296 increase in interest expense also related to issuance of debt instruments which incurred interest and resulted in amortization of debt discount in 2020 compared to 2019
·
$1,001,968 gain in change in fair value of derivative liability related to issuance of debt instruments 2020.
Net Loss
Net loss increased $6,687,119 to $7,592,784 for the year ended December 31, 2020, when Compared to $905,665 for the year ended December 31, 2019. As discussed above, this increase was primarily attributable to the compensation bonus and conversion of accrued salary into stock and increase in general and administrative expenses partially offset by other income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had cash of $12,047 and a working capital deficit of $1,567,791 at December 31, 2020. Our operating and capital requirements in connection with supporting our operations will continue to be significant. Since inception, our losses from operations and working capital requirements have been satisfied through the deferral of payment for services performed by our founders and related parties discussed more fully below.
We have sustained operating losses since we began our operations in 2012. At December 31, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $19,357,927. The Company cannot predict how long it will continue to incur further losses or whether it will ever become profitable as this is dependent upon the reduction of certain expenses and success in obtaining project contracts, among other things. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
We also satisfied our cash and working capital requirements in 2020, through Company expenses paid by EAWC-TV, the issuance of convertible debentures, and the first sale of product. During 2020, the expenses paid on behalf of the Company totaled $291,768. During the years ended December 2020 and 2019, the Company issued $466,000 and $330,000, respectively, in convertible debentures. The holders of certain of such instruments had the option to convert these convertible debentures into the Company’s common stock at conversion prices ranging from $0.05 to $0.20 and had all converted by December 31, 2020. The remaining holders have convertible instruments with variable conversion rates. During 2020, holders of convertible debentures exercised their conversion options on convertible debentures amounting to $571,000 in exchange for 8,334,361 shares of common stock.
Comparison of Cash Flows for the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
We used $869,394 of cash in our operating activities in 2020 compared to $373,200 used in 2019. The increase in cash used of $496,194 is due primarily to $424,637 net reduction in working capital components of $101,251 for 2020 compared to increases of $525,888 in 2019.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
We used or provided no funds from our investing activities in 2020 and 2019.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
We received $881,440 and $373,200 in cash from financing activities in 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase of $508,240 is due to additional financing in 2020 through $72,500 increase in convertible debentures plus $435,740 increase in stock sales to investors in 2020 compared to 2019.
Financial Position
Total Assets - The Company had assets of $428,992 consisting primarily of deferred costs and accounts receivable and other assets.
PLAN OF OPERATION AND FUNDING
We expect to generate our first revenues which should, grow in time and lead to a positive cash flow. In the near future, we expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through lines of credit, convertible loans and/or further issuances of other securities in sufficient quantities that we will be able to meet our working capital requirement from these possible sources. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt will result in dilution to our current shareholders.
We seek to focus on three main aspects of the water and energy business: (1) generation, (2) supply, and (3) maintenance. We seek to assist private companies, government entities and NGO’s to build profitable and sustainable supplies/generation capabilities of water and energy as required, by selling them the required technology or technical service to enhance their productivity/operability. With its outsourced technical arm and its commission-based global network of vendors, the Company expects to create sustainable added value to each project it takes on while generating revenue from its engineering and technical consultancy services, project management, sale of our Self Sufficient Power Supply Atmosphere Water Generation Systems (eAWGs) Solar Energy Generation Systems and Energy Management Systems, royalties from the commercialization of energy and water in certain cases, and revenues from the licensed innovated technologies.
Through our BlueTech Alliance for Water Generation established in December 2020, we have state-of the art technology partners, technology transfer agreements, and technology representation agreements in place relating to aspects of renewable energy and water supply. These unique key relationships offer important selling features and capabilities that differentiated EAWD from its competitors.
The Company plans to generate revenue from its engineering and technical consultancy services, project management, sale of our Self Sufficient Power Supply Atmosphere Water Generation Systems (eAWGs), Solar Energy Generation Systems, and Energy Management Systems, royalties from the commercialization of energy and water in certain cases, and revenues from the licensed innovated technologies.

The deposit will be repaid out of proceeds from the sale, when performance has occurred. The equipment was built in Germany.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, EAWC-TV provided $75,000 of paid services and $225,000 of accrued services plus $6,464 net in interest and remitted $187,518 to vendors in satisfaction of EAWD obligations. During the same period, EAWD raised from investors and lenders and remitted $445,865 to EAWC-TV. EAWD also executed several payments totaling $66,500 as a deposit on the equipment purchase and $124,352 which represented the final net balance in the D/T/F EAWC-TV account which was accounted for as a deposit for the customer’s purchase. In addition, also functions as a distributor of EAWD product and as such, has placed a $550,000 order for a solar powered atmospheric water generator (“AWG”) for an EAWC-TV customer, which has been secured by EAWC-TV accepting a $303,742 reduction in the amount due to EAWC-TV in exchange for a customer deposit with EAWD. The equipment was delivered on December 26, 2020. The deposit was satisfied out of proceeds from the sale, as delivery has occurred.
Going Concern Qualification
The Company delivered its first equipment on December 26, 2020 pursuant to an equipment sale agreement and will record the sale once the installation is complete. Once installed, the Company will record a sale for $550,000 along with associate $350,000 cost of construction, earning $200,000 gross profit. The next step to accomplish is to achieve sufficient sales volume to yield positive a net income. The Company has incurred operating losses since it began operations (December 2012) totaling $19,357,927 at December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred net losses of $7,592,784. The Company also incurred a working capital deficit of $1,567,791 at December 31, 2020. We are an early-stage company and have generated losses from operations since inception (we began operations in December 2012). The Company expects its sales to continue to expand in 2021.
The Company’s ability to transition to profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support its cost structure. The timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based on many factors, including cash flows from operations and the anticipated growth of our business and availability to sufficient resources.
Management expects sales operations to continue to expand. If necessary, the Company may need to raise additional funds during 2021. Management of the Company intends to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities or debt, credit lines or advances from suppliers. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to generate sales or obtain additional funding to finance operating losses until the Corporation is profitable.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
MaloneBailey, LLP (“MaloneBailey”) served as the independent registered public accounting firm for Energy and Water Development Company (the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. After careful consideration of the ongoing audit needs of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company elected to dismiss MaloneBailey. The Company notified MaloneBailey on May 28, 2021, that it would be dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.
MaloneBailey’s reports on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except with respect to an explanatory paragraph indicating that there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and the subsequent interim period through May 28, 2021, there were no (i) disagreements, within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Regulation S-K”), and the related instructions thereto, with MaloneBailey on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MaloneBailey, would have caused MaloneBailey to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports; or (ii) reportable events within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto, except for the material weaknesses described in Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The Company provided MaloneBailey with the disclosures under this Item 4.01 and requested MaloneBailey to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company in this Item 4.01 and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. MaloneBailey’s letter was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the Report on Form 8-K, filed on May 26, 2021.
On June 9, 2021, the Board of Directors of Energy and Water development Corp.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the forms and rules of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO, in a manner to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-K, our management, including the CEO and CFO (Principal Accounting Officer), evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2020. As described below, management has identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which is an integral component of our disclosure controls and procedures. As a result of those material weaknesses, our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The term “internal control over financial reporting” is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the registrant’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
·
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the registrant;
·
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and
·
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the registrant’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. In addition, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time.
As of December 31, 2020, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013) (COSO) and identified material weaknesses. Due to financial constraints, we have not fully implemented a remediation plan. A “material weakness” is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statement will not be presented or detected by our employees.
The specific material weaknesses that management identified in our internal controls as of December 31, 2020 are as follows:
·
Inadequate segregation of duties,
·
Limited level of multiple reviews among those tasked with preparing the financial statements,
·
Lack of a formal internal control environment.
We consider an incomplete governing board and transactions running through our executives as a failure of our internal control system. To remediate we will require the time and funds to secure additional qualified personnel and the funds to proper support services to facilitate their functions.
The Company is a non-accelerated filer and is not subject to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act. Accordingly, this Annual Report does not contain an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting, since the rules for smaller reporting companies provide for this exemption.
Plans for Remediation of Material Weaknesses
We intend to implement changes to strengthen our internal controls in addition to the enhanced controls discussed above. We are in the process of implementing a remediation plan for the identified material weaknesses and we expect that work on the plan will continue throughout 2021, as financial resources permit. Specifically, to address the material weaknesses arising from insufficient accounting personnel, the Company plans to hire a full-time Chief Financial Officer and has secured the services of additional accounting personnel on a consulting basis which begins to address segregation of duties. The Company is currently formalizing its policies and procedures in writing and to improve the integration of its financial and reporting system into non accounting departments. Where appropriate, the Company is receiving advice and assistance from third-party experts as it implements and refines its remediation plan.
Additional measures may be necessary, and the measures we expect to take to improve our internal controls may not be sufficient to address the issues identified, to ensure that our internal controls are effective or to ensure that such material weakness or other material weaknesses would not result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements. In addition, other material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may be identified in the future. If we are unable to correct deficiencies in internal controls in a timely manner, our ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information accurately and within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC will be adversely affected. This failure could negatively affect the market price and trading liquidity of our common stock, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, subject us to civil and criminal investigations and penalties, and generally materially and adversely impact our business and financial condition.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as otherwise stated above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors during the quarter ended December 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Directors and Executive Officers
Our directors and executive officers as of December 31, 2020 are listed below. The number of directors is determined by our board of directors. All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of the board or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Officers are elected by the board of directors and their terms of office are, except to the extent governed by employment contract, at the discretion of the board of directors.
Name
Age
Principal Positions with Us
Mr. Ralph Hofmeier
President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board of Directors
Ms. Irma Velazquez
Chief Operating Officer and Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors
Set forth below is a brief description of the background and business experience of our directors and executive officers.
Mr. Ralph Hofmeier has a mechanical engineering background. He has worked in companies such as Powermax Energy & Business Solutions Inc., where from 2003 to 2008 he served as President. Since the merger of that company with EAWD in 2008, he has served as President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of EAWD. Mr. Hofmeier speaks German and English.
Over the last 20 years, Mr. Hofmeier has established and developed several multinational companies in green tech distribution and commercialization, such as Powermax LLC, Powermax Inc and Powermax GmbH. With a solid track record of investment and financial joint ventures and his prior multicultural experience throughout the European and American markets, we believe that Mr. Hofmeier brings our Board and our Company a clear vision of business development, investor relations and joint ventures.
Ms. Irma Velazquez brings to the Company her certified expertise of sustainable development and emerging technologies, along with her extensive experience and managerial skills on large-scale project management. Ms. Velazquez worked from 1997 to 2010 in United Nations agencies such as the World Health Organization, Farmaciens Sans Frontieres, Red Cross and Crescent Societies (IFRC) where she served in the positions of Information Technology Manager, Sustainable Development Manager and Programme Manager, leading the strategic development and execution of corporate vision for operations, communications, and marketing, as well as a Disaster & Crisis Management Coordinator, where she demonstrated the ability to govern complex programs and organizations, which drove development and implementation of business plans, operational structures, processes, and procedures. From 2012 to the present, Ms. Velazquez has acted as Chief Operations Officer and Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors of EAWD. The Board believes that Ms. Velazquez is a valuable director in light of her extensive employment history as described above, and her solid track record of driving improvements in finance, operations, and human resources processes, resulting in greater efficiency and cost control. Ms. Velazquez has a Master in Sciences from the Erasmus University of Rotterdam and has experience in diplomatic negotiations and proven experience building positive relationships with government entities, agencies, and private sector partners. Ms. Velazquez speaks French, English and Spanish.
Family Relationships
Mr. Hofmeier and Ms. Velazquez are married.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or officers, during the past ten years has:
·
been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
·
had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which the person was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time;
·
been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, the person's involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or been associated with persons engaged in any such activity;
·
been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;
·
been the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated (not including any settlement of a civil proceeding among private litigants), relating to an alleged violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
·
been the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.
Except as set forth in our discussions in this Report, none of our directors or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Board Committees and Corporate Governance
Our board of directors has no separate committees and our board of directors acts as the audit committee and the compensation committee. Because we do not have any independent directors, our Board believes that the establishment of committees of our Board would not provide any benefits to our Company and could be considered more form than substance.
Shareholder Communications
Although we do not have a formal policy regarding communications with the Board, shareholders may communicate with the Board by writing to us at 7901 4th Street N STE #4174, St Petersburg, Florida 33072, Attention: Corporate Secretary, or by facsimile (727) 677-9408 or email to investor.relations@energy-water.com. The envelope or subject line should indicate that it contains a stockholder communication.
Shareholders who would like their submission directed to a member of the board may so specify, and the communication will be forwarded, as appropriate.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees and officers, including those officers responsible for financial reporting, and directors. The code of business conduct and ethics is included as an exhibit to this Report.
DELINQUENT SECTION 16(a) REPORTS
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors and executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of the Common Stock to file with the SEC the initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent (10%) stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Specific due dates for such reports have been established by the SEC, and the Company is required to disclose in this Report any failure to file reports by such dates during fiscal year 2020. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, we believe that all reports required to be filed by such persons pursuant to Section 16(a) were filed on a timely basis, with the exception of our officers, directors and greater than 10 percent (10%) beneficial owners listed in the table below:

Related Person Transaction Policy
Our Board considers and approves or disapproves any related person transaction. The Company’s written policies and procedures on related party transactions cover any transaction, arrangement or relationship or series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) in which: (i) the Company (or any subsidiary) is a participant; (ii) any related party has or will have a direct or indirect interest; and (iii) the aggregate amount involved (including any interest payable with respect to indebtedness) will or may be expected to exceed $120,000, except that there is no $120,000 threshold for members of the audit committee (if any). A related party is any: (i) person who is or was (since the beginning of the two fiscal years preceding the last fiscal year, even if they do not presently serve in that role) an executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director; (ii) greater than five percent (5%) beneficial owner of the Company’s common stock; or (iii) immediate family member of any of the foregoing. An immediate family member includes a person’s spouse, parents, stepparents, children, stepchildren, siblings, mothers- and fathers-in-law, sons- and daughters-in-law, and brothers- and sisters-in-law and any person (other than a tenant or employee) sharing the same household as such person.
In determining whether to approve or ratify a related party transaction, the Board, or disinterested directors, as applicable, will take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate: (i) whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances; (ii) the nature and extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction; (iii) the material terms of the transactions; (iv) the importance of the transaction both to the Company and to the related party; (v) in the case of a transaction involving an executive officer or director, whether the transaction would interfere with the performance of such person’s duties to the Company; and (vi) in the case of a transaction involving a non-employee director or a nominee for election as a non-employee director (or their immediate family member), whether the transaction would disqualify the director or nominee from being deemed an “independent” director, and whether the transaction would disqualify the individual from serving on the audit committee or the compensation committee (if any) or other committees of the Board under applicable exchange and other regulatory requirements.
The Board only approves those related party transactions that are on terms comparable to, or more beneficial to us than, those that could be obtained in arm’s length dealings with an unrelated third party.
