ITEM 1. BUSINESS
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General Development of Business
Omnitek Engineering, Corp., a California corporation, began operations on October 10, 2001, and was a spin-off from Nology Engineering, Inc., a manufacturer in the automotive aftermarket parts industry and the developer/manufacturer of the patented “HotWires” spark plug wires. Our business is located at 1345 Specialty Dr. #E, Vista, California, 92081, which consists of approximately 11,751 square feet of industrial space. Omnitek has never filed for bankruptcy and has never been subject to receivership or similar proceedings.
Business of Issuer
Omnitek develops and sells proprietary technology to convert diesel engines to an alternative fuel, new alternative fuel engines and complementary products. Omnitek products are available for stationary applications and the global transportation markets -- including light commercial vehicles, buses, heavy-duty trucks, as well as rail and marine applications. The technology can be applied for compressed natural gas (“CNG”), liquefied natural gas (“LNG”), renewable natural gas (“Biogas” or “RNG”), or Hydrogen (“H2”), as well as liquid petroleum gas (“Propane” or LPG”).
Omnitek’s technology enables the conversion of most diesel engines to operate on alternative fuels at a cost lower than that required to purchase a new alternative fuel engine.
Engine conversions in the United States are subject to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) or California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) approvals. Engine conversions in certain foreign countries may require additional or different approvals. With fuel cost being the primary market driver, the Company anticipates the majority of its business will be generated in markets where diesel fuel is more expensive than gaseous fuels for the foreseeable future. Additionally, it is expected that the 200-nation “Paris Agreement on Climate Change” and other local regulations designed to lower air pollution, will further increase demand for Omnitek’s technology.
Omnitek is able to also deliver complete new natural gas engines when local emission standards, or other conditions, require the use of new engines.
Principal Products or Services.
Omnitek’s current product line includes:
·A kit for converting diesel engines to run on an alternative fuel;
·New complete natural gas engines;
·A high-pressure natural gas coalescing filter; and
·Natural gas engine components.
Conversion Kits - Omnitek offers a solution to convert most diesel engines to operate on an alternative fuel, including CNG, LNG, RNG, H2 or LPG. This product is packaged in kit form and is offered in two basic variations. One is designed to work on engines equipped with a turbocharger and the other is designed to work on engines without a turbocharger.
Diesel engines have a service life of up to 20 years and require regular engine overhauls. A diesel engine conversion is not unlike an engine overhaul. Therefore, the Company’s engine conversion system enables a fleet to “overhaul/convert” its diesel engines into an alternative fuel during a regularly scheduled engine overhaul, thereby reducing overall operating costs and emissions.
Diesel-to-natural gas engine conversions offer fleet operators the opportunity to secure their investment and capitalize on the long service life of diesel engines.
At this time the Company has received US, EPA approval for the Navistar DT466E and DT530E engine models, and a Certificate of Conformity for the Mack E7, Detroit Diesel Series 60 and Caterpillar 3406E/C15 engine models, as well as EURO VI certification from the European Union for the OT13 heavy-duty 13-liter natural gas engine.
In addition to the Conversion Kits, Omnitek sells individual replacement parts for the conversion kits and a high-pressure natural gas coalescent filter.
The key to the success of Omnitek’s technology is performance and reliability, which is achieved using the Company’s patented fuel-mixing device and an electronic control unit (ECU) which senses engine parameters in real time and instantly adjusts to deliver the correct amount of fuel and the correct ignition timing.
Omnitek does not perform installations of the conversion kits directly, but rather trains dealers and sub-dealers around the world to perform the engine conversions using the Omnitek technology.
Most diesel engines can be converted using Omnitek’s technology, however, there is no assurance that diesel vehicle owners will elect to convert their diesel engines to an alternative fuel. Additionally, while the Company is not aware of any other company offering engine conversion solutions for most heavy-duty diesel engines that can compete with our patented technology at this time, competitors could develop such technology and there are no guarantees that the owners of the engines would choose the Omnitek conversion technology over our competitors’ technology to convert their engines.
Markets
Worldwide
The Company has the ability to sell and deliver its products anywhere in the world through its network of distributors, system integrators, fleet operators and engine conversion companies. The Company's conversion technology has been used to convert heavy-duty diesel engines to operate on natural gas worldwide since 2001 and has been successfully adapted to work with many different engine designs and configurations. More than 5,000 engines have been converted worldwide utilizing the Omnitek technology.
The governments of many countries with an indigenous supply of natural gas encourage the use of their domestic fuel supply and may offer incentives to convert vehicles currently running on diesel, which is expected to increase demand for our product in those regions.
When contacted, we approach the issue of “converting or replacing” high-polluting diesel engines by offering two main options, which in large part is influenced by the level of technological capabilities within the country, emission requirements, and financial feasibility.
The first option is focused on collaborating with local companies in an effort to convert diesel engines to an alternative fuel.
To achieve the conversions, we can supply engineering support to convert the engines locally. This offers an economic benefit to the local economy by keeping the rebuild work in the community.
In the second scenario, we would supply new low-polluting, alternative fuel engines. This may be a better option when the existing engines are based on old and outdated technology and/or strict emissions standards are in place.
Regulations
Engine conversions in the United States are subject to regulations imposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), and in California, the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”). At this time, the Company has received U.S. EPA approval for the Navistar DT466E and DT530E engine models, and a Certificate of Conformity for the Mack E7, Detroit Diesel Series 60 and Caterpillar 3406E/C15 engine models.
Engine conversions in Europe, and certain other regions, are subject to regulations imposed by the European Union (“EU”), or other local authorities. The Company has received EURO VI certification from the EU for the OT13 heavy-duty 13-liter natural gas engine.
Distribution Methods of the Products or Services
Omnitek has distributors worldwide to market and distribute its products. The Company is continuously seeking additional global distribution partners to expand its distribution network. In certain markets, the Company competes against other companies with greater resources, more established distribution channels and other competitive advantages, and the success of these competitors may hinder our ability to generate revenues. Please see the section entitled “Competition” and also the relevant Risk Factors in ITEM 1A below.
Distribution Agreements. From time-to time, Omnitek may enter into exclusive or non-exclusive distribution agreements with its dealers, distributors or authorized diesel-to-natural gas engine conversion kit installation centers (“AIC”).
Internet. Information on products and services we offer, as well as information regarding new product introductions and company news, is available online at our website, www.omnitekcorp.com.
Company information and status of any publicly announced projects, new product developments, or services
Additional corporate information and disclosures regarding Omnitek Engineering Corp. can be found on the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov, which should be read in conjunction with this Annual Report. Additional information relating to the status of any publicly announced projects, new product developments, or services are available on our website at http://www.omnitekcorp.com/news.htm.
Competitive business conditions and the Company’s competitive position in the industry and methods of competition
We believe our products have many important advantages, some of which are performance, ease of use, and competitive cost. We compete in a small segment of the transportation and energy arena. Most of the larger multinational corporations do not offer a complete solution for the markets the Company serves. We believe that competition in these markets is principally based on the quality of the product, performance, reliability, and price. Because of the Company’s limited financial resources, Omnitek could be at a competitive disadvantage compared with other suppliers offering competing products.
Competition - Diesel-to-Natural Gas Engine Conversions
The Company encounters competing products in countries with no enforced emission standards, and where low-tech systems are still being used. These systems can be used to convert low-power diesel engines found in these countries. However, converting emissions controlled high-power engines, as currently found in most countries, requires a sophisticated engine management system, like the one Omnitek offers.
Currently, the Company is not aware of any direct competitors offering a similar and extensive range of engine conversion kits for heavy-duty diesel engines -- though some companies may supply parts to original equipment engine manufacturers, but they do not offer complete systems to convert diesel engines.
There are numerous companies supplying natural gas components for use on gasoline cars and small trucks. These technologies have been on the market for many years and millions of vehicles have been converted worldwide using these technologies. However, these technologies are not suitable to convert heavy-duty diesel engines and not in direct competition with Omnitek’s technology. At this time, Omnitek is not planning to compete in the small-engine market.
Competition - Dual Fuel Technology
Dual-fuel technology, where both diesel and natural gas fuels are used at the same time, offers minimal cost-savings potential and is not considered a competing technology.
Competition - New Natural Gas Engines
Under certain conditions, it is not cost effective, or technologically feasible, to convert certain old diesel engines to operate on natural gas. Emission standards sometimes dictate the use of highly sophisticated technology that cannot be easily retrofitted onto an older engine. For these situations, Omnitek offers purpose-built new engines which can be used in buses, trucks, generators and other mobile and stationary applications.
Sources and availability of Raw Materials and Principal Suppliers
Omnitek does not utilize any specialized raw materials. We rely on non-affiliated suppliers for various standard and customized components and on manufacturers of assemblies that are incorporated into our products. We do not have long-term supply or manufacturing agreements with suppliers of raw materials, components, and assemblies. In certain instances, alternative sources may be limited. If these suppliers or manufacturers experience financial, operational, manufacturing capacity, or quality assurance difficulties, or cease production and sale of such products, or if there is any other disruption in our relationships with these suppliers or manufacturers, we will be required to locate alternative sources of supply. Our inability to obtain sufficient quantities of these components, if and as required in the future, may subject us to:
·delays in delivery or shortages in components that could interrupt and delay manufacturing and result in cancellations of orders for our products;
·increased component prices and supply delays as we establish alternative suppliers; inability to develop alternative sources for product components;
·required modifications of our products, which may cause delays in product shipments, increased manufacturing costs, and increased product prices; and,
·increased inventory costs as we hold more inventory than we otherwise might in order to avoid problems from shortages or discontinuance, which may result in write-offs if we are unable to use all such products in the future.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, two suppliers accounted for 83% of products purchased compared with the year ended December 31, 2023, where four suppliers accounted for 78% of products purchased.
Dependence on one or few major customers
The Company believes that the diversity of the product line offered alleviates the dependence on any customer. Through widespread use of our product line, Omnitek is striving to develop a wide base of customers. During the year ended December 31, 2024 four customers accounted for approximately 72% of sales. During the year ended December 31, 2023, eight customers accounted for approximately 91% of sales.

The protection of proprietary rights relating to Omnitek’s products and expertise is critical for the business. Omnitek intends to file additional patent applications to protect certain technology and improvements considered important to the development of the Company’s business. The Company also intends to rely upon trade secrets, know-how, continuing technological innovation and licensing opportunities to develop and maintain its competitive position.
Although the Company intends to seek patent protection for its proprietary technology and products in the United States and in foreign countries, the patent positions of our products are generally uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Consequently, we do not know whether any of the patent applications that we have and will consider filing will result in the issuance of any patents, or whether such patent applications will be circumvented or invalidated. There can be no assurance that all United States patents that may pose a risk of infringement can or will be identified. Additionally, Omnitek has not sought to identify foreign patent applications that might affect existing patent applications currently on file with the Unites States Patent and Trademark Office. If we are unable to obtain licenses where we may have infringed on other patents, we could encounter delays in product market introductions while attempting to design around such intellectual property rights, or we could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prevented. In addition, we could incur substantial costs in defending suits brought against us on such intellectual property rights or prosecuting suits which the Company brings against other parties to protect its intellectual property rights. Competitors or potential competitors may have filed applications for or have received patents and may obtain additional patents and proprietary rights relating to compounds or processes competitive with those of Omnitek. See “Competitive business conditions and the Company’s competitive position in the industry and methods of competition.”
The Company relies on certain patented and unpatented trade secrets for a significant part of its intellectual property rights, and there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques, or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets or disclose such technology, or that Omnitek can meaningfully protect its rights to its unpatented trade secrets. We intend to require each of our employees, consultants and advisors to execute confidentiality agreements either upon the commencement of an employment or consulting relationship with Omnitek or at a later time. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for Omnitek’s trade secrets in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of such information.
We do not believe that any of our products or other proprietary rights infringe upon the rights of third parties. However, there can be no assurance that others may not assert infringement claims against Omnitek in the future and we recognize that any such assertion may require us to incur legal and other defense costs, enter into compromise royalty arrangements, or terminate the use of some technologies. Further, we may be required to incur legal and other costs to protect our proprietary rights against infringement by third parties.
Licenses and Royalty Agreements
Currently, we have no license or royalty agreements which would result in royalty payments.
Other Agreements
As part of the build-out of the dealer/installer network, the Company will from time-to-time enter into agreements with various companies in the USA and around the world.
Need of governmental approvals of principal products or services
Engine conversions in the United States are subject to regulations imposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), and in California, the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”).
Engine conversions in Europe, and certain other regions, are subject to regulations imposed by the European Union (“EU”), or local authorities.
Effect of existing or probable governmental regulations on the business
Omnitek is subject to the requirements of Regulation 13A under the Exchange Act, which require us to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K, and all other obligations of the Exchange Act applicable to issuers with stock registered pursuant to Section 12(g). We are also subject to Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), which regulates proxy solicitations.
Management believes that these reporting obligations increase the Company’s annual legal and accounting costs by an estimated $55,000.
Omnitek is not aware of any other governmental regulations now in existence or that may arise in the future that would have an effect on the Company’s business.
Research and Development
Research and development expenditures for 2024 and 2023, were $70,323 and $67,576 respectively, and were comprised of labor costs and charges for the purchase of equipment and parts for R&D.
In some cases, Omnitek is contracted to develop a specific engine or component. In these cases, Omnitek requires an up-front payment from the customer.
Costs and effects of compliance with environmental laws
Except as discussed above regarding EPA, CARB and EU emissions certification, our business activities are not subject to any environmental laws, and we do not anticipate that our future business activities will subject the Company to any environmental compliance regulations.
Number of total employees and number of full-time employees
As of the date of this report, the Company had a total of six full-time employees. We believe we have a good working relationship with our employees, who are not represented by a collective bargaining organization, and there are no organized labor agreements or union agreements between Omnitek and any employees.
On occasion we outsource certain services and intend to continue to utilize the services of independent consultants and contractors when needed. We believe that this use of third-party service providers will enhance our ability to contain general and administrative expenses.
Reports to Security Holders
The public may read and copy any materials the Company files with the SEC at the SEC’s public reference room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington D.C. 20549, on official business days during the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Eastern time. Information may be obtained on the operation of the public reference room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC at http://www.sec.gov. Moreover, the Company maintains a website at http://www.omnitekcorp.com that contains additional information about Omnitek. This information is publicly available and is updated regularly.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS
Investment in our common stock involves significant risk. You should carefully consider the information described in the following risk factors, together with the other information appearing elsewhere in this report, before making an investment decision regarding our common stock. If any of the events or circumstances described in these risks actually occur, our business, financial conditions, results of operations, and future growth prospects would likely be materially and adversely affected. In these circumstances, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or a part of your investment in our common stock.
Risks Related to Ukrainian Crises
Russia’s recent military intervention in Ukraine and the international community’s response have created substantial political and economic disruption, uncertainty, and risk.
Russia’s military intervention in Ukraine in late February 2022, Ukraine’s widespread resistance, and the NATO led and United States coordinated economic, financial, communications, and other sanctions imposed by other countries have created significant political and economic world uncertainty. There is significant risk of expanded military confrontation between Russia and other countries, possibly including the United States. Current and likely additional
international sanctions against Russia may contribute to higher costs, particularly for petroleum-based products. These and related actions, responses, and consequences that cannot now be predicted or controlled may contribute to world-wide economic reversals. In these circumstances, receipt of supplies and products may be interrupted or may be delayed or otherwise negatively impact our operations.
Risks Related to Middle East Crises
The Israel-Gaza war has created substantial uncertainty and risk.
In early October, Hamas launched assaults against Israeli citizens. Israel has responded aggressively with operations inside Gaza against Hamas. The foregoing events have cause substantial regional instability and world-wide political and economic uncertainty. There is significant risk of expanded military confrontation in the region and beyond, possibly including the United States. These and related actions, responses, and consequences cannot be predicted or controlled and may contribute to world-wide economic reversals. In these circumstances, receipt of supplies and products may be interrupted or may be delayed or otherwise negatively impact our operations.
Risks Related to our Business
An overall economic downturn could negatively impact our earnings.
Any weakening of economic activity in our markets could result in a loss of customers, which could adversely affect our revenues or restrict our future growth. It may become more difficult for customers to pay their bills, leading to slow collections and higher-than-normal levels of accounts receivable. This could increase our financing requirements and bad debt expense. The foregoing could negatively affect earnings and liquidity, reducing our ability to grow the business.
The price of oil, which also affects the price of diesel and gasoline, can have a significant impact on the Company’s business. As the price differential between diesel and natural gas decreases the payback period for the cost of the engine conversion is extended. This makes engine conversions less desirable, which can result in lower sales of the Company’s engine conversion technology.
Unforeseeable circumstances could delay or disrupt our operations and negatively impact our operating results and financial condition.
Fire, riot, strikes, labor disputes, freight embargoes or transportation delays, acts of God or of the public enemy, war, acts or threats of terrorism, or civil disturbances, extreme weather conditions or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis, and their related consequences and effects, including energy shortages and public health issues, any existing or future laws, rules, regulations or acts of any government (including any orders, rules or regulations issued by any official or agency or such government), or any cause beyond the Company’s reasonable control (each a “Force Majeure Event”), affecting our business, could delay or disrupt our operations, and the operations of our vendors, other suppliers and their operations or result in economic instability that may negatively impact our operating results and financial condition.
Increases in the wholesale price of natural gas could reduce our earnings.
A supply and demand imbalance in natural gas markets could cause an increase in the price of natural gas. A significant increase in the price of natural gas may discourage the conversion from diesel to natural gas.
Climate change, carbon neutral or energy efficiency legislation or regulations could restrict our market opportunities, negatively affecting our growth, cash flows and earnings.
The federal and/or state governments may enact legislation or regulations that attempt to control or limit the causes of climate change, including greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide and emissions of methane. Such laws or regulations could impose additional costs or operational requirements. They could also provide a cost advantage to alternative energy sources. The focus on climate change could negatively impact the reputation of fossil fuel products or services. The occurrence of these events could put upward pressure on the cost of natural gas relative to other energy sources, reduce the demand for natural gas, negatively affecting our growth opportunities, cash flows and earnings.
The 200-nation “Paris Agreement on Climate Change” signed into law in 2016 signals a strong call to action with more than 175 countries committing to large emission reductions over the next 15 years. This may help to accelerate demand for Omnitek’s technology as countries around the world begin to enact air pollution control measures, in some cases banning diesel trucks and buses in large cities.
We are subject to physical and financial risks associated with climate change.
Climate change can create physical and financial risk. Climate change may impact a region’s economic health, which could impact our revenues. Our financial performance is tied to the health of the regional economies we serve. The price of energy has an impact on the economic health of our communities. The cost of additional regulatory requirements, such as regulation of CO2 emissions under section 111(d) of the CAA, or additional environmental regulation could impact the prices charged by natural gas suppliers.
A downturn in the trucking industry could materially adversely impact our results of operations.
If the trucking industry or any truck OEM customers worldwide suffer a significant downturn such circumstance could lead to significant reductions in our revenues and earnings and could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.
Unpredictability in the adoption, implementation and enforcement of increasingly stringent emission standards by multiple jurisdictions around the world could adversely affect our business.
Our components and engines may be subject to extensive statutory and regulatory requirements governing emission and noise, including standards imposed by the EPA, the European Union, state regulatory agencies, such as CARB, and other regulatory agencies around the world. We have made, and may be required to continue to make, significant capital and research expenditures to comply with these regulations. Developing engines and components to meet numerous changing government regulatory requirements, with different implementation timelines and requirements, makes developing components and engines efficiently for multiple markets complicated and could result in substantial additional costs that may be difficult to recover in certain markets. In some cases, we may be required to develop new products to comply with new regulations, particularly those relating to air emissions. While we have met previous deadlines, our ability to comply with other existing and future regulatory standards will be essential for us to maintain our position in the markets we serve. The successful development and introduction of new and enhanced products in order to comply with new regulatory requirements are subject to other risks, such as delays in product development, cost over-runs and unanticipated technical and manufacturing difficulties.
In addition to these risks, the nature and timing of government implementation and enforcement of increasingly stringent emission standards in emerging markets are unpredictable and subject to change. Any delays in implementation or enforcement could result in the products we developed or modified to comply with these standards becoming unnecessary or becoming necessary later than expected thereby, in some cases, negatively affecting our competitive advantage. This in turn can delay, diminish or eliminate the expected return on capital and research expenditures that we have invested in such products and may adversely affect our perceived competitive advantage in being an early, advanced developer of compliant engines.
We are exposed to risks arising from the price and availability of energy.
The level of demand for our products and services is influenced in multiple ways by the price and availability of energy. High diesel costs generally drive greater demand for natural gas and LPG engines in the countries in which we operate. If diesel costs decrease or increase less than expected, demand for our products may likewise decrease. The relative unavailability of electricity in some emerging market countries also influences demand for our products for electric generators. If these countries add energy capacity by expanding their power grids at a rate equal to or faster than the growth in demand for energy, the demand for our genset products could also decrease or increase less than would otherwise be the case.
The market for alternative fuel engines may not continue to develop according to our expectations and, as a result, our business may not grow as planned and our business plan may be adversely affected.
Our future growth is dependent upon the market for efficient alternative fuel engines and engine conversion kits expanding as a result of our customers and potential customers substituting diesel engines with alternative fuel engines. Part of our business plan is dependent on our market forecasts with respect to this expected substitution trend. However, there can be no assurance that we can accurately predict this trend. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that our products would capture any portion of the potential market increase. If the markets which represent a significant portion of our business or in which we anticipate significant growth opportunities for our products fail to develop or develops more slowly than we anticipate, the growth of our business and our business plan could be materially adversely affected.
Introduction of electric vehicles may also reduce the size of our market.
We may have difficulty managing the expansion of our operations.
In order to effectively manage our operations and growth, including growth in the sales of, and services related to, our power systems, we may need to:
·scale our internal infrastructure, including establishing additional facilities, while continuing to provide technologically sophisticated power systems on a timely basis;
·attract and retain sufficient numbers of talented personnel, including application engineers, customer support staff and production personnel;
·continue to enhance our compliance and quality assurance systems; and
·continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and reporting systems and procedures.
Rapid expansion of our operations could place a strain on our senior management team, support teams, manufacturing lines, information technology platforms and other resources. In addition, we may be required to place more reliance on our strategic partners and suppliers, some of whom may not be capable of meeting our production demands in terms of timing, quantity, quality or cost. Difficulties in effectively managing the budgeting, forecasting and other process control issues presented by any rapid expansion could harm our business, prospects, results of operations or financial condition.
New products, including new engines we develop, may not achieve widespread adoption.
Our growth may depend on our ability to develop and/or acquire new products, and/or refine our existing products and technology. We will seek to develop or acquire new products, or enhance our existing products and power system technology, if we believe they will provide significant additional revenues and favorable profit margins. However, we cannot know beforehand whether any new or enhanced products will successfully penetrate our target markets. There can be no assurance that newly developed or acquired products will perform as well as we expect, or that such products will gain widespread adoption among our customers.
Additionally, there are greater design and operational risks associated with new products. The inability of our suppliers to produce technologically sophisticated components for our new engines and power systems, the discovery of any product or process defects or failures associated with production of any new products and any related product returns could each have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If new products for which we expend significant resources to develop or acquire are not successful, our business could be adversely affected.
We maintain a significant investment in inventory, and a decline in our customers’ purchases could lead to a decline in our sales and profitability and cause us to accumulate excess inventory.
We cannot always predict the timing, frequency, or size of the future orders of our customers. Our ability to accurately forecast our sales is further complicated by the continuing global economic uncertainty. We maintain
significant inventories in an effort to ensure that our customers have a reliable source of supply. If we fail to anticipate the changing needs of our customers and accurately forecast our customer demands, our customers may not continue to place orders with us, and we may accumulate significant inventories of products that we will be unable to sell or return to our suppliers. This may result in a significant decline in the value of our inventory and a decrease in our future gross profit.
Our financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been, and may in the future be, negatively impacted by challenging global economic conditions.
Challenging global economic conditions have had, and may in the future have, a material adverse effect on our business. Difficult market conditions can also cause us to experience pricing pressure, negatively impacting our margins. Economic downturns may materially impact our customers, as well as suppliers and other parties with which we do business. Economic conditions that adversely affect our customers may cause them to terminate existing supply agreements or to reduce the volume of products they purchase from us in the future. We may have significant receivables collections from customers that face liquidity issues. Failure to collect a significant portion of amounts due on those receivables could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Similarly, with adverse market conditions, our key suppliers from which we source components may be unable to provide components to us or extend us credit. Furthermore, we may not be able to successfully anticipate, plan for and respond to changing economic conditions, and our business could be negatively affected.
We could suffer warranty claims or be subject to product liability claims, both of which could materially and adversely affect our business.
From time to time, we may incur liabilities for warranty claims as a result of defective products or components, including claims arising from defective products or components provided by our suppliers that are integrated into our conversion kits. The provisions we make for warranty accrual may not be sufficient or we may be unable to rely on a warranty provided by a third-party manufacturer, and we may recognize additional expenses as a result of warranty claims in excess of our current expectations. Such warranty claims may necessitate a redesign, re-specification, a change in manufacturing processes, and/or recall of our product, which could have an adverse impact on our finances and on existing or future sales of our products. Even in the absence of any warranty claims, a product deficiency such as a manufacturing defect or a safety issue may necessitate a product recall, which could have an adverse impact on our finances and on existing or future sales.
Our business exposes us to potential product liability claims that are inherent to our industry. Any accidents involving our products could materially impede widespread market acceptance and demand for our products. In addition, we may be subject to a claim by end-users of our products or others alleging that they have suffered property damage, personal injury or death because our products did not perform adequately. Such a claim could be made whether or not our products perform adequately under the circumstances. From time to time, we may be subject to product liability claims in the ordinary course of business, and we carry a limited amount of product liability insurance for this purpose. However, our current insurance policies may not provide sufficient or any coverage for such claims, and we cannot predict whether we will be able to maintain our insurance coverage on commercially acceptable terms.
If we do not properly manage the sales of our products into foreign markets, our business could suffer.
We have sales and distribution activities in counties where we may lack sufficient expertise, knowledge of local customs or contacts. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current relationship with these foreign customers, or that we will be able to develop effective, similar relationships in foreign markets into which we supply our products in the future.
Growing the market for our products in markets outside of the United States may take longer and cost more to develop than we anticipate and is subject to inherent risks, including unexpected changes in government policies, trade barriers restricting our ability to sell our products in those countries, longer payment cycles, exposure to currency fluctuations, and foreign exchange controls that restrict or prohibit repatriation of funds. As a result, if we do not properly manage foreign sales, our business could suffer.
In addition, our foreign sales subject us to numerous stringent U.S. and foreign laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), and comparable foreign laws and regulations which prohibit improper payments or offers
of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. and other business entities for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Safeguards that we may implement to discourage these practices could prove to be ineffective, and violations of the FCPA and other laws may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, or other liabilities or proceedings against us, including class action lawsuits and enforcement actions from the SEC, The Department of Justice and overseas regulators. Any of these factors, or any other international factors, could impair our ability to effectively sell our power systems, or other products or services that we may develop, outside of the U.S.
The price of our stock may be volatile and may decline in value.
The trading price of our common stock may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. The stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with securities traded in those markets. Broad market and industry factors may seriously affect the market price of companies’ stock, including ours, regardless of actual operating performance. In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a particular company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. This litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources.
Business, political and economic factors may affect our operations
If the World economic conditions deteriorate or do not improve, our target consumer base may be disproportionately affected. Stagnant economic growth is likely to negatively affect our customers' ability to purchase our goods. The resulting impact of such economic conditions on our customers and on consumer spending could have a material adverse effect on demand for our products, financial condition, and operating results.
Our performance is influenced by a variety of economic, social, and political factors
Our performance is influenced by a variety of economic, social, and political factors. Economic uncertainty, unfavorable employment levels, declines in consumer confidence, increases in consumer debt levels, increased commodity prices, and other economic factors may affect our customer spending decisions and adversely affect the demand for our products. Economic conditions also affect governmental political and budgetary policies. As a result, economic conditions can have an effect on the sale of our products to our customers.
A global economic crisis could result in decreases in customer spending
We operate in competitive and evolving markets locally, nationally and globally. These markets are subject to rapid technological change and changes in demand. In seeking market acceptance, we will encounter competition from many sources, including other well-established larger technology providers. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources. Our revenue could be materially adversely affected if we are unable to compete successfully with these other providers.
Uncertainty relating to the ability to enforce rights under certain dealer agreements
Many of the dealer agreements are with foreign entities and are governed by the laws of foreign jurisdictions. If a dealer breaches a dealer agreement, we may incur the additional costs of determining our rights and obligations under the agreement, under applicable foreign laws, and enforcing the agreement in a foreign jurisdiction. We may not be able to enforce such rights or may determine that it would be too costly to enforce such rights. In addition, some of the dealer agreements contain arbitration provisions that govern disputes under the agreements and there is uncertainty with respect to the enforceability of such arbitration provisions under the laws of related foreign jurisdictions. If a dispute were to arise under a dealer agreement and the related arbitration provision was not effective, we would be exposed to the additional costs of settling the dispute through traditional legal avenues rather than through an arbitration process.
The Company is subject to foreign business, political and economic disruption risks
Omnitek is engaged with various entities from around the world. As a result, we are exposed to foreign business, political and economic risks, which could adversely affect our financial position and results of operations, including:
·difficulties in managing dealer relationships from outside of a dealer’s jurisdiction;
·political and economic instability;
·less developed infrastructures in newly industrializing countries;
·susceptibility to business interruption in foreign areas due to war, terrorist attacks, medical epidemics, changes in political regimes, and general interest rate and currency instability;
·exposure to possible litigation or claims in foreign jurisdictions; and,
·competition from foreign-based providers and the existence of protectionist laws and business practices that favor such providers.
The Company may be subject to intellectual property rights claims
Companies in our industry often own large numbers of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets and frequently enter into litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. As competition in the industry increases, the possibility of intellectual property rights claims against Omnitek may grow. Omnitek’s technologies may not be able to withstand third-party claims or rights against their use. Intellectual property claims, whether having merit or otherwise, could be time consuming and expensive to litigate or settle and could divert management resources and attention. In addition, many of Omnitek’s agreements require that Omnitek indemnify for third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which could increase Omnitek’s costs as a result of defending such claims and may require that Omnitek pay the damages if there were an adverse ruling in any such claims. If litigation is successfully brought by a third party against Omnitek in respect of intellectual property, Omnitek may be required to cease distributing or marketing certain products or obtain licenses from the holders of the intellectual property at material cost, redesign affected products in such a way as to avoid infringing intellectual property rights, any or all of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If those intellectual property rights are held by a competitor, Omnitek may be unable to obtain the intellectual property at any price, which could also adversely affect our competitive position. An adverse determination could also prevent Omnitek from offering its products. Any of these results could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Operational stage of the Company and its products
Omnitek has generated limited revenue from operations and may not generate any significant or sufficient revenue from its current operations to continue future operations. To achieve profitable operations, Omnitek, alone or with others, must successfully initiate and maintain sales and distribution of our products. The time frame necessary to achieve market success for any individual product is uncertain. There can be no assurance that Omnitek’s efforts will be successful, that any of our products will prove to meet the anticipated levels of approval or effectiveness, or that we will be able to obtain and retain customers. Omnitek’s results can also be affected by the ability of competition to introduce new products that have advantageous technology or the competition's ability to adjust its pricing to reduce our competitive advantage. Results will also be affected by strategic decisions made by the management regarding product volume, mix, and timing of orders received during operations.
Uncertainty of future sales
There can be no assurance that our products will meet the effectiveness required to be competitive in the marketplace and that our products achieve customer acceptance.
Future capital requirements; uncertainty of future funding
Substantial expenditures will be required to enable Omnitek to conduct product research, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of its products. Omnitek may need to raise additional capital to facilitate growth and support its long-term business plan. Omnitek has no established bank-financing arrangements and it is not anticipated that we will secure any bank financing in the near future. Therefore, it is likely that Omnitek may need to seek additional financing through subsequent future public or private sales of its securities, including equity securities. Omnitek may also seek funding for the manufacturing and marketing of its products through strategic partnerships and other arrangements with corporate partners. There can be no assurance, however, that such collaborative arrangements or additional funds will be available when needed, or on terms acceptable. Any such additional financing may result in significant dilution to existing stockholders. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to curtail one or
more of our programs. Omnitek’s future cash requirements will be affected by the revenue generated from the sale of its products, the costs of production and marketing, as well as relationships with corporate partners, changes in the focus and direction of Omnitek’s programs, competitive and technological advances, and other factors.
Dependence on others; manufacturing capabilities and limited distribution capabilities
An important element of Omnitek’s strategy for the marketing and release of its products is to enter into various arrangements with distribution and retail partners. The success and commercialization of Omnitek’s products will be dependent, in part, upon Omnitek’s ability to enter into such arrangements and upon the ability of these third parties to perform their responsibilities. Although we believe that parties to any such arrangements would have an economic motivation to succeed in performing their contractual responsibilities, the amount and timing of resources to be devoted to these activities may not be within our control. There can be no assurance that any such arrangements will be available on terms acceptable to Omnitek, if any at all, and that such parties will perform their obligations as expected, or that any revenue will be derived from such arrangements. If Omnitek is not able to enter into such arrangements, it could encounter delays in introducing its products into the market.
Omnitek assembles certain products in-house after receiving components from outside vendors. Other products such as engines or components for future products may be produced or manufactured by outside companies for Omnitek. Therefore, Omnitek may be dependent on contract manufacturers for the production and manufacturing of certain products or components for products. In the event that we are unable to obtain or retain the necessary manufacturers for components or products on acceptable terms, we may not be able to continue to commercialize and market our products as planned. The manufacture of Omnitek’s products will be subject to current good manufacturing practices (“GMP”) requirements prescribed by Omnitek in order to meet the specifications and other standards prescribed by Omnitek to satisfy the anticipated and appropriate levels of operations and effectiveness when in use. There can be no assurance that we will be able to (i) obtain adequate supplies of products in a timely fashion at acceptable quality and prices, (ii) enter into arrangements for the manufacture of products with manufacturers whose facilities and procedures comply with Omnitek’s GMP or other regulatory requirements, should any such regulatory requirements arise, (iii) or that manufacturers will continue to comply with such standards, or (iv) that such manufacturers will be able to adequately meet Omnitek product needs. Omnitek’s dependence upon others for the manufacture of its proposed products may adversely affect our ability to develop and deliver products on a timely and competitive basis.
In addition, Omnitek does not now have, nor does it have current plans to acquire or obtain, the facilities, or personnel necessary to conduct its own full-scale distribution of its products. Consequently, Omnitek will have to rely on existing commercial distribution channels for the sale of its products. There can be no assurance that Omnitek will be able to secure sufficient distribution of any of its products on acceptable terms.
Concentration of Risks
Customers - Approximately eight customers accounted for 91% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024, and loss of any of these customers could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, and profitability.
These customers are free to purchase from other suppliers who may have more established distribution channels and other competitive advantages, such as price. In addition, our customers’ need for our products depends on many factors including worldwide and regional fuel prices, and various governmental regulations. If any of the latter factors change significantly, our customers’ demand for our products might decline substantially.
The loss of any of these customers could have a materially adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. At the minimum, it would have a materially adverse effect on our operations during the short term until we are able to generate replacement customers.
Suppliers - Approximately four suppliers accounted for 78% of products purchased for the year ended December 31, 2024. Dependence on a limited number of qualified suppliers of components and equipment could lead to delays, lost revenue or increased costs.
Our future operating results may depend substantially on our suppliers’ ability to supply us with components in sufficient volumes to meet our production requirements. Certain components that we use are available from only a
single or limited number of qualified suppliers. If there is a significant simultaneous upswing in demand for such a component from several high-volume industries resulting in a supply reduction, if a component is otherwise in short supply, or if a supplier has a quality issue with a component, we may experience delays or increased costs in obtaining that component. If we are unable to obtain sufficient quantities used in the components, or other necessary components, we may experience production delays which could cause us loss of revenue. If a component becomes unavailable, we could suffer significant loss of revenue. Each of the following could also significantly harm our operating results:
·an unwillingness of a supplier to supply such components to us;
·consolidation of key suppliers;
·failure of a key supplier to provide enough components;
·a key supplier’s, or sub-supplier’s, inability to access credit necessary to operate its business; or
·failure of a key supplier to remain in business.
Risk of technological obsolescence and competition
Omnitek operates in an ever-evolving field. Developments are expected to continue at a rapid pace in the industry in general. Competition from other large companies, research and academic institutions and others is intense and expected to increase. Many of these companies and institutions have substantially greater resources than Omnitek and may have substantially greater experience in manufacturing and marketing of products. These entities represent significant long-term competition for Omnitek. There can be no assurance that developments by others will not render our technologies and products obsolete or noncompetitive. In addition, Omnitek’s competitors might succeed in developing or purchasing technologies and products that render the Company's technology and products obsolete or noncompetitive. See “Business - Competition.”
Changes of prices for products
While the prices of our products are projected to be in line with those from market competitors, there can be no assurance that they will not decrease in the future. Competition may cause us to lower prices in the future. Moreover, it is difficult to raise prices even if internal costs increase.
Creditworthiness of distributors is an ongoing concern
Omnitek may not always be able to collect all of the funds owed to it by its distributors. Some distributors may experience financial difficulties which may adversely impact our collection of accounts receivable. We regularly review the collectability and creditworthiness of our distributors to determine an appropriate allowance for credit to such distributors. If our uncollectible accounts exceed the amount for which we have planned, this would adversely impact our operating results. Omnitek tries to minimize this concern by selling most of its products by way of prepaid purchase orders.
Trading and limited market
At the present time, Omnitek common stock is traded on the OTCQB under the symbol OMTK. There is currently a limited public market for the Common Stock and there can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or, if one does develop, that it will be maintained. However, should such a market arise, the possibility or actual sale into the market of shares, as permitted under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, may adversely affect prevailing market prices, if any, for Omnitek’s Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of its equity securities. In order to qualify for unrestricted resale of Common Stock under Rule 144, certain holding periods must be met and a legal opinion setting forth the exemption from registration must be provided. Further, there is no assurance that Rule 144 will be applicable to Omnitek and investors may not be able to rely on its provisions now or in the future. In addition, sales of significant amounts of Common Stock by Omnitek could have an adverse effect on the market price.
No dividends
No cash dividends have been paid. Payment of dividends on the Common Stock is within the discretion of the Board of Directors, is subject to state law, and will depend upon our earnings, if any, its capital requirements, financial condition and other relevant factors.
Possible volatility of stock price
The market price of our securities is likely to be highly volatile. Factors such as the market acceptance of Omnitek’s products, success of distribution channels or its competitors, announcements of technological innovations or new commercial products by us or our competitors, developments in trademark, patent or other proprietary rights of Omnitek or our competitors, and fluctuations in our operating results may have a significant effect on the market price of the Common Stock. In addition, the stock market has experienced and continues to experience extreme price and volume fluctuations which have affected the market price of many companies, and which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions, may adversely affect the market price, if a market develops, of the Common Stock. See “Description of Capital Stock.”
We are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which require us to incur audit fees and legal fees in connection with the preparation of such reports. These additional costs could reduce our ability to earn a profit.
We are required to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In order to comply with these requirements, our independent registered public accounting firm has to review our financial statements on a quarterly basis and audit our financial statements on an annual basis. Moreover, our legal counsel will have to review and assist in the preparation of such reports. The costs charged by these professionals for such services cannot be accurately predicted at this time because factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in and the complexity of our reports cannot be determined at this time and will have a major effect on the amount of time to be spent by our auditors and attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs will obviously be an expense to our operations and thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn a profit. We may be exposed to potential risks resulting from requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common stock could drop significantly.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended by SEC Release 33-8889 we are required to include in our annual report our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the year. If we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common stock could drop significantly.
Penny stock regulations
If Omnitek’s stock is below $5.00 per share, or we do not have $2,000,000 in net tangible assets, or are not listed on an exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System, among other conditions, our shares may be subject to a rule promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and institutional accredited investors. For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. Furthermore, if the price of Omnitek’s stock is below $5.00, and does not meet the conditions set forth above, sales of our stock in the secondary market will be subject to certain additional new rules promulgated by the SEC. These rules generally require, among other things, that brokers engaged in secondary trading of stock provide customers
with written disclosure documents, monthly statements of the market value of penny stocks, disclosure of the bid and asked prices, and disclosure of the compensation to the broker-dealer and disclosure of the salesperson working for the broker-dealer. These rules and regulations may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell Omnitek's securities, thereby limiting the liquidity of the securities. They may also affect the ability of shareholders to resell their securities in the secondary market.
Dependence upon key personnel
Our success in developing marketable products and achieving a competitive position will depend, in part, on its ability to retain qualified engineers, management and marketing personnel and in particular, to retain the services of Mr. Werner Funk, upon whom we are reliant on for the development of products for the Company.
In the event of the death, incapacity or departure of Mr. Funk from Omnitek, it is unlikely that we would be able to continue conducting our business plan in a timely manner. Even if we are able to find additional personnel to replace Mr. Funk, it is uncertain whether we could find someone who could develop our business along the lines described in this report.
Omnitek has an Employment Agreement in place with Mr. Funk that provides for continued service in his current capacities through May 3, 2027 and thereafter on a year-to-year basis. See “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table” for details of Employment Agreements.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On September 16, 2022, the Company received a Summons and was named as a cross-defendant in the matter of Olson-Ecologic Engine Testing Laboratories, LLC -v- Michael Naylor, Omnitek Engineering Corp., and Moto Concerto, Inc., filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange, Central Justice Center, Case
No. 30-2020-01171344. Olson-Ecologic Engine Testing Laboratories, LLC filed the cross-complaint in response to the original complaint filed by Michael Naylor against Olson-Ecologic Engine Testing Laboratories. Omnitek served as a subcontractor to Olson-Ecologic who received a grant in May 2017 from the California Energy Commission. In October 2017, very early in the project and before completion of the project, which was to run into 2020, Olson-Ecologic advised Omnitek that the California Energy Commission had terminated the project. In the cross-complaint Olson-Ecologic alleges that Omnitek participated with Mr. Naylor in overcharging Olson-Ecologic, however, Olson-Ecologic does not provide a specific statement of facts or actions of what Omnitek allegedly did. Olson-Ecologic’s cross-complaint and allegations against Omnitek are without merit and Omnitek will vigorously defend the cross-complaint. As of the time of this report there are no material developments. The trial date is set for December 8, 2025.
We are not a party to any other pending legal proceeding. No federal, state or local governmental agency is presently contemplating any proceedings against the Company.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act relating to future events or our future performance. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes to our financial statements included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that relate to future events or our future performance. Although management believes that the assumptions made and expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure that the underlying assumptions will, in fact, prove to be correct or that actual results will not be different from expectations expressed in this report.
Results of Operations
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023
Revenues were $1,019,726 for 2024 compared with $1,055,314 in 2023, a decrease of $35,588, or 3.4%. The Company’s revenues remained steady between 2024 and 2023.
Total cost of goods sold decreased to $561,853 in 2024 from $644,660 in 2023, for a decrease of $82,807. Gross margin was $457,873 in 2024 compared with $410,654 in 2023. Gross margin as a percentage of sales for 2024 was 45 percent compared with 39 percent in 2023.
Our operating expenses for 2024 were $606,373 compared with $606,794 in 2023, a decrease of $421, or 0.06%. General and administrative expense for 2024 was $532,721 compared with $537,473 in 2023. Major components of general and administrative expenses in 2024 were insurance expense of $63,971, rent expense of $43,038 and salary and wages of $219,981. This compares with insurance expense of $53,056, rent expense of $43,298, and salary and wages of $225,609 in 2023. Research and development outlays were $70,323 in 2024 compared with $67,576 in 2023. The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily due to increase in litigation expense.
Our net loss in 2024 was $167,137, or ($0.01) per share, compared with $215,406, or ($0.01) per share, in 2023. Additionally, operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $148,500 compared with $196,140 for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Results for the year ended December 31, 2024 reflect non-cash expenses, including the value of options and warrants granted in the amount of $5,363 and depreciation and amortization of $3,329. For the year ended December 31, 2023, non-cash expenses included the value of options and warrants granted of $15,776, depreciation and amortization of $1,745.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our primary sources of liquidity are working capital funds available from sales. Additionally, from time to time we may raise funds from the equity capital markets to fund our research and development programs, expansion of our business and general operations.
At December 31, 2024, our current liabilities totaled $2,178,041 and our current assets totaled $881,764, resulting in negative working capital of $1,296,277.
We have no firm commitments or obligations for capital expenditures. Substantial discretionary expenditures may be required to enable us to conduct product research, development, manufacturing, marketing and distribution activities. We may need to raise additional capital to facilitate growth and support our long-term product development, manufacturing, and marketing programs. The Company has no established bank-financing arrangements, and it is not anticipated that we will secure any bank financing in the near future. Therefore, it is likely that we may need to seek additional financing through subsequent future public or private sales of our securities, including equity securities. We may also seek funding for the development, manufacturing, and marketing of our products through strategic partnerships and other arrangements with corporate partners. There can be no assurance, however, that such collaborative arrangements or additional funds will be available when needed, or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to curtail one or more of our research and development programs.
We have historically incurred significant losses, which have resulted in a total accumulated deficit of $22,027,484 at December 31, 2024.
Operating Activities
We realized positive cash flow from operations of $30,077 for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared with positive cash flow of $17,211 for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Included in the net loss of $167,137 for the year ended December 31, 2024, are non-cash expenses, which are not a drain on our capital resources. In 2024, these non-cash expenses include the value of options and warrants granted in the amount of $5,363 and depreciation and amortization of $3,329.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Accounting Method and Use of Estimates
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Areas where significant estimates are required include the following:
Accounts Receivable
Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of net realizable value, or average cost basis. The Company reviews inventories on hand at least annually and records provisions for estimated excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory, as well as inventory with a carrying value in excess of net realizable value. The regular and systematic inventory valuation reviews include a current assessment of future product demand, historical experience and product expiration.
Accordingly, the Company has established an allowance for the cost of such obsolete inventory.
Long-lived assets
The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets annually and whether circumstances indicate that there may be an impairment. The Company compares the estimated undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying value of the long-lived assets to determine if an impairment has occurred. In the event that an impairment has occurred, the Company recognizes the impairment immediately.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are calculated on the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to five years.
Income Taxes
Omnitek accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets at currently enacted tax rates for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. A valuation allowance is recognized to reduce the net deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Omnitek uses historical experience to determine the likelihood of realization of deferred tax liabilities and assets.
Stock-based Compensation
ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based payment transactions in which employee services, and, since February 1, 2019, non-employee services, are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Stock-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
Liquidity & Going Concerns Policy
Historically, the Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations. Management believes that based on its operating plan, the projected sales, combined with funds available from its working capital will be sufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months from the date these financial statements were issued. However, there can be no assurance that operations and operating cash flows will continue at the current levels or improve in the near future. From time to time the Company has raised additional capital through the sale of equity
and financing activities to support its operations, and should the need arise will attempt to do so in the future, however, it is uncertain whether the Company will be successful in its efforts to raise additional capital in the future, if necessary.
Revenue Recognition
In general, revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is met. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account for revenue recognition.
We recognize revenue on various products and services as follows:
Products - The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products as performance obligations are satisfied. Those sales predominantly contain a single delivery element and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when ownership and risks transfer (i.e. the performance obligation has been satisfied). In general, ownership and risk passes FOB shipping point, or as negotiated.
Assurance-type warranties are the only warranties provided by the Company and, as such, Omnitek does not recognize revenue on warranty-related work. Omnitek generally provides a one-year warranty for products that it sells. Warranty claims historically have been insignificant.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has evaluated recent accounting pronouncements, and their adoption has not had or is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, or statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures", which amends the disclosure to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis for to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. All public entities will be required to report segment information in accordance with the new guidance starting in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company is currently assessing potential impacts of ASU 2023-06 and does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, " Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", which amends the disclosure to address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information and includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. For entities other than public business entities, the requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing potential impacts of ASU 2023-09 and does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures and the Company is in a loss position and not incurring any tax expenses.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of December 31, 2024. Based on that evaluation, it was concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2024.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
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). Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting can also be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, the risk.
Management performed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, using criteria established in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO-2013”). Based on that assessment, management identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, as further described below. Due to these material weaknesses, management concluded that internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, were not effective, based on COSO’s framework.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As a result of our assessment, we have determined that the Company has a material weakness that relates to a lack of segregation of duties.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above did not have any effect on the Company’s financial results.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Remediation Plan for the Material Weaknesses
Management has been engaged in developing remediation plans to address the above material weaknesses. In order to address and resolve these deficiencies we are researching the options available given our financial means to do the following: (1) hire outside consultants to review the Company’s financial statements for complex transactions. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may determine to take additional measures to address the material weaknesses or determine to supplement or modify the remediation measures described above.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter of 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The principal amount of the note and all accrued interest is due and payable on or before January 19, 2018. The maturity date of the note was extended annually for additional one-year period, with a current due date of January 19, 2024.

On June 4, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured convertible promissory note for $30,000 to its CEO. Simple interest at the rate of 8% per annum accrues on the unpaid principal balance of the note. The note calls for monthly installment payments of $1,050 commencing on July 4, 2021. The unpaid principal and accrued interest was due and payable on or before June 4, 2023. On the maturity date, June 4, 2023, the lender elected to transfer the unpaid principal balance of $7,940 to the Working Capital Promissory Note.

On December 4, 2024 the note was extended until December 4, 2025. The note has a conversion feature, wherein, at the maturity date, the lender may convert the remaining principal balance and any unpaid accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued upon such conversion shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the remaining unpaid principal balance and any unpaid accrued interest of this note by (ii) 90% of the average closing price of the common stock of the Company, for the five (5) trading days (between days 15 and 10 days) before the maturity date.
