PART I

Item 1.

Business

Historical Background

We were incorporated in the State of New Jersey on October 1, 2003 under the name of Creative Beauty Supply of New Jersey Corporation, and subsequently changed our name to Gotham Capital Holdings, Inc. on May 18, 2015. We commenced operations in the beauty supply industry as of January 1, 2004. On November 30, 2007, our Board of Directors approved a plan to dispose of our wholesale and retail beauty supply business. From January 1, 2009 until July 28, 2017, we had no operations and were a shell company.

On March 16, 2017, our Board of Directors adopted resolutions, which were approved by shareholders holding a majority of our outstanding shares, to change our name to “IIOT-OXYS, Inc.”, to authorize a change of domicile from New Jersey to Nevada, to authorize a 2017 Stock Awards Plan, and to approve the Securities Exchange Agreement (the “OXYS SEA”) between the Company and OXYS Corporation (“OXYS”), a Nevada corporation incorporated on August 4, 2016.

Under the terms of the OXYS SEA we acquired 100% of the issued voting shares of OXYS in exchange for 34,687,244 shares of our Common Stock. We also cancelled 1,500,000 outstanding shares of our Common Stock and changed our management to Mr. DiBiase who also served in the management of OXYS. Also, one of our principal shareholders entered into a consulting agreement with OXYS to provide consulting services during the transition. The OXYS SEA was effective on July 28, 2017, and our name was changed to “IIOT-OXYS, Inc.” at that time. Effective October 26, 2017, our domicile was changed from New Jersey to Nevada.

At the present time, we have two wholly owned subsidiaries which are OXYS Corporation and HereLab, Inc. (an entity immaterial to our operations), through which our operations are conducted.

General Overview

IIOT-OXYS, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and OXYS, were originally established for the purposes of designing, building, testing, and selling Edge Computing systems for the Industrial Internet. Both companies were, and presently are, early stage technology startups that are largely pre-revenue in their development phase. The Company received its first revenues in the last quarter of 2017, has continued to realize revenues in 2023, and expects moderate revenue growth in 2024 due to limited ability to raise funds for sales and marketing efforts.

We develop hardware, software and algorithms that monitor, measure and predict conditions for energy, structural, agricultural and medical applications. We use domain-specific Artificial Intelligence to solve industrial and environmental challenges. Our engineered solutions focus on common sense approaches to machine learning, algorithm development and hardware and software products. We design a system of hardware and software, assemble, install, monitor data and apply our algorithms to help provide the customer insights.

We use off-the-shelf components, with reconfigurable hardware architecture that adapts to a wide range of customer needs and applications. We use open-source software tools, while still creating proprietary content for customers, thereby reducing software development time and cost. The software works with the hardware to collect data from the equipment or structure that is being monitored.

We focus on developing insights. We develop algorithms that help our customers create insights from vast data streams.  The data collected is analyzed and reports are created for the customer. From these insights, the customer can act to improve their process, product or structure.

OUR SOLUTIONS ACHIEVE TWO OBJECTIVES

ADD VALUE

RISK MINIMIZATION

HOW WE DO IT

Our location in Cambridge, Massachusetts is ideal since market-leading Biotech, Medtech, and Pharma multinational firms have offices, manufacturing plants and/ or R&D centers in Cambridge or the Greater Boston area, which gives us easier access to potential sales which, in turn, lowers our cost of sales. Additionally, we continue to gain traction in the structural health monitoring and smart manufacturing industries. We, therefore, have a range of opportunities as we continue to expand our customer base.

Our goals are to augment visual bridge inspection with instrumentation and predictive algorithms for structural health monitoring and help Biotech, Pharma, and Medical Device companies realize the next wave of performance, productivity, and quality gains for their organizations, through our Smart Manufacturing/Industry 4.0 technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning algorithms.

We have a unique value proposition in a fast-growing worldwide multi-billion USD market and have positioned our business with strategic partners for accelerated growth. Given adequate funding for sales and marketing efforts, we believe that potential growth for 2024 and beyond is possible.

WHAT MARKETS WE SERVE

SMART MANUFACTURING – MEDICAL DEVICES, BIOTECH, AND PHARMACEUTICAL SUPPLY CHAIN

We help our customers maintain machine uptime and maximize operational efficiency. We also enable then to do energy monitoring, predictive maintenance that anticipates problems before they happen, and improve part and process quality. We are on the operations side, not the patient-facing side. In this market vertical, our customers must provide high-quality products that must also pass rigorous review by governing bodies such as the FDA. Here again, we focus on machine uptime, operational efficiency, and predictive maintenance to avoid unplanned downtime.

SMART INFRASTRUCTURE

For bridges and other civil infrastructure, local, state and federal agencies have limited resources. We help our clients prioritize how to spend limited funds by addressing those fixes which need to be made first.

OUR UNIQUE VALUE PROPOSITION

EDGE COMPUTING AS A COMPLIMENT TO CLOUD COMPUTING

Within the Internet of Things (“IoT”) and Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”), most companies right now are adopting an approach which sends all sensor data to the cloud for processing. We specialize in edge computing, where the data processing is done locally right where the data is collected. We also have advanced cloud-based algorithms that implement various machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms.

ADVANCED ALGORITHMS

We have sought to differentiate from our competitors by developing advanced algorithms on our own and in collaboration with strategic partners These algorithms are an essential part of the edge computing strategy that convert raw data into actionable knowledge right where the data is collected without having to send the data to the cloud first.

RECONFIGURABLE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE

Instead of focusing on creating tools, we use open-source tools to create proprietary content.

Marketing

Our marketing and sales efforts are divided into several distinct categories:

Competition

We have two principal sources of competition. The first comes from large companies such as Siemens, PTC, IBM, GE, Amazon, Google, etc., who all have their efforts in IIoT. However, these large companies are cloud – computing centric and they are trying to move towards edge devices from their present position of being solely cloud computing based. We will be starting in edge computing from day one as opposed to force-fitting a cloud-based solution into the limited computational capability and storage space of an edge device. We believe our systems will be more computationally efficient as compared to a cloud-based solution which requires more computational resources.

The second source of competition is from startups who are in the edge computing space. Examples are FogHorn Systems Inc., Tulip Interfaces, and MachineSense. There will be additional startups that will specifically target the edge computing space as the investor awareness and the technical focus shifts from cloud computing to edge computing. Whereas other startups focus on development of proprietary tools for edge computing, our solutions will use open-source tools but will still create proprietary algorithms and software content for clients and customers. We feel this methodology of creating proprietary solutions using open-source tools will allow us to rapidly address current and future customer needs.

Government Regulation

At present, we do not require any governmental approval of any of our products or services.

Environmental Laws

At present, we are not regulated by any environmental laws.

Research and Development

We work with our partners and universities to develop IP.

Other than expenses for legal, accounting, audit, tax preparation, intellectual property (IP), and other overhead expenses such rent, most of our funds are spent on technology development, product development, and research and development.

The efforts in research and development have already resulted in significant customer interest in various market verticals including industrial, automotive, aerospace, agricultural, infrastructure, and power generation.

Intellectual Property

On February 5, 2018, we entered into a Non-Exclusive Patent License Agreement with MIT. The agreement, which was effective February 1, 2018, granted to us a royalty-bearing non-exclusive license under U.S. Patent Nos. 8344724 (“Non-Intrusive Monitoring of Power and Other Parameters” issued January 1, 2013), 14/263407 (“Non-Intrusive Monitoring” filed April 28, 2014), and Patent Cooperation Treaty Serial No. PCT/US2016/057165 (“Noncontact Power Sensing” filed October 14, 2016) during the term of the agreement. The term of the agreement was from the effective date until the expiration or abandonment of all issued patents and filed patent applications licensed pursuant to the agreement, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the agreement.

Under the agreement, we were required to make a first commercial sale of a “LICENSED PRODUCT” and/or a first commercial performance of a “LICENSED PROCESS,” as defined in the agreement, on or before September 30, 2018. We had negotiated revenue targets with MIT which would determine annual royalty payments. The 2018 minimum revenue target for the sale of products and services incorporating the MIT technology was $100,000. This minimum revenue amount would increase in subsequent years.

Within 30 days of invoicing, a non-refundable license issue fee of $10,000 was paid by us to MIT. Pursuant to the agreement, we were required to pay MIT additional patent maintenance fees in years beyond 2018.

Pursuant to the agreement, we were required to pay to MIT a running royalty of 2% of “NET SALES,” as defined in the agreement made in the calendar years 2018, 2019, and 2020. For “NET SALES” made in the calendar year 2021 and every calendar year thereafter through the term of the agreement, we were required to pay MIT a running royalty of 4%.

On October 31, 2018, we sent written notice of our intent to terminate the agreement with an effective date of termination of April 30, 2019. Since none of the technology licensed to us by MIT had been used by us in any of our products and we had been investing in the development of our own intellectual property, we determined the technology that was licensed from MIT wasn’t necessary in the near term. Due to this, the written notice sent by us expressed a desire by our management to renegotiate the terms of the agreement with MIT.

MIT declined to renegotiate the terms of the agreement, and, on December 6, 2018, we received a notice of termination from MIT due to non-payment of fees. As of December 6, 2018, the agreement was terminated, fees are no longer accruing, interest is accruing and $76,284 in fees owed to MIT are still owing as of the date of this Annual Report. Despite the termination of the Agreement, we remain active with MIT as a member of the MIT Startup Exchange (STEX). The purpose of STEX is to promote collaboration and partnerships between MIT-connected startups and members of MIT’s Industrial Liaison Program. We remain open to future mutually acceptable agreements with MIT.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink under the symbol “ITOX.” The table below sets forth for the periods indicated the quarterly high and low bid prices as reported by OTC Markets. Limited trading volume has occurred during these periods. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down, or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

Customers

Due to our status of a start-up, at the moment, we depend on a few major customers. This should change as we implement plans for future growth.

Employees

As of June 26, 2024, we have two full-time employees, including the CEO (and Interim CTO) and COO (and Interim CFO).

At the present time, except for the funding received from Cambridge MedSpace LLC and Vidhyadhar Mitta in the form of secured notes, there are no conflicts of interest between the Company and any of our officers and directors. This was determined as follows: i) none of their outside activities are soliciting business from our customers or business contacts; ii) they are not soliciting our investors to invest in other ventures; and iii) they are not soliciting our contract employees to leave us and join other efforts. At present, all our business services are provided by outside contractors.

Legal Proceedings

We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

As a Smaller Reporting Company, we are not required to furnish information under this Item 1A.

Not applicable.

For purposes of this section:

“Cybersecurity incident” means an unauthorized occurrence, or a series of related unauthorized occurrences, on or conducted through our information systems that jeopardizes the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our information systems or any information residing therein.

“Cybersecurity threat” means any potential unauthorized occurrence on or conducted through our information systems that may result in adverse effects on the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our information systems or any information residing therein.

“Information systems” means electronic information resources, owned or used by us, including physical or virtual infrastructure controlled by such information resources, or components thereof, organized for the collection, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination, or disposition of our information to maintain or support our operations.

Risk Management and Strategy

Our website is monitored by a third party to check if our website is secure. We are prepared to inform all parties necessary if any breach of cyber-security were to happen. We have never had this problem and so we have never had to inform consultants, auditors, or other third parties.

We have never had a breach of cyber-security at any point in our past. The risk to us of cybersecurity threats is in data storage of customer questions and emails. A breach of customers’ data could negatively materially affect our public trust and could result in loss of customers and revenue.

Governance

Our board of directors has no specific processes for monitoring cybersecurity within the company. There is no subcommittee specifically for monitoring cybersecurity in the company.

Our management monitors our websites and online accounts frequently to manage risks associated with cyber-security risks. Our management communicates with our board on matters of cybersecurity but, has not had to inform them of any breaches thus far.

Item 2.

Properties

We currently do not own any properties. We entered into a yearly lease agreement for our principal office located in Cambridge, Massachusetts on August 1, 2017 which began on January 1, 2018 and terminated on December 31, 2018. We entered into a new lease agreement on March 12, 2019, which began on January 1, 2019, and terminated on June 30, 2019. Pursuant to the lease, we are obligated to pay the landlord monthly installments of $2,000 for a total lease payment of $12,000 in 2019. We secured a 2^nd lease for July – December 2019 at $2,000/month for an additional $12,000 in 2019. As of 2023, we reduced the amount of space required and have renegotiated the lease terms to $250/month. This is a month-to-month agreement.

Item 3.

Legal Proceedings

We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

PART II

Item 5.

Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Market Information

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink under the symbol “ITOX.” The table below sets forth for the periods indicated the quarterly high and low bid prices as reported by OTC Markets. Limited trading volume has occurred during these periods. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down, or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

Our common stock is considered to be penny stock under rules promulgated by the SEC. Under these rules, broker-dealers participating in transactions in these securities must first deliver a risk disclosure document which describes risks associated with these stocks, broker-dealers’ duties, customers’ rights and remedies, market and other information, and make suitability determinations approving the customers for these stock transactions based on financial situation, investment experience and objectives. Broker-dealers must also disclose these restrictions in writing, provide monthly account statements to customers, and obtain specific written consent of each customer. With these restrictions, the likely effect of designation as a penny stock is to decrease the willingness of broker-dealers to make a market for the stock, to decrease the liquidity of the stock and increase the transaction cost of sales and purchases of these stocks compared to other securities.

Holders

As of the close of business on June 26, 2024, we had approximately 155 holders of our 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 various security brokers, dealers, and registered clearing agencies. We have appointed Issuer Direct, 1981 East 4800 South, Suite 100, Salt Lake City, UT 84117, to act as transfer agent for the common stock.

Dividends

We have never declared a cash dividend on our common stock and our Board of Directors does not anticipate that we will pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, restrictions contained in our agreements and other factors which our Board of Directors deems relevant.

We are obligated to pay dividends to certain holders of our preferred stock which we pay out of legally available funds from time to time or reach arrangements with our holders of preferred stock to convert limited quantities of preferred stock at favorable conversion prices in lieu of dividend payments.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

2017 Stock Incentive Plan

On March 16, 2017, our board of directors assumed the 2017 Stock Awards Plan adopted by the Company while domiciled in New Jersey. No awards were made under this plan. On December 14, 2017, the Board of Directors terminated this plan and adopted a new 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The purposes of the 2017 Plan are (a) to enhance our ability to attract and retain the services of qualified employees, officers, directors, consultants, and other service providers upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the successful conduct and development of our business largely depends, and (b) to provide additional incentives to such persons or entities to devote their utmost effort and skill to the advancement and betterment of our company, by providing them an opportunity to participate in the ownership of our Company and thereby have an interest in the success and increased value of our Company.

There are 4,500,000 shares of common stock authorized for non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock grants, and stock appreciation rights under the 2017 Plan, which are subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and other situations.

The 2017 Plan is administered by our board of directors; however, the board of directors may designate administration of the 2017 Plan to a committee consisting of at least two independent directors. Only employees of our Company or of an “Affiliated Company”, as defined in the 2017 Plan, (including members of the board of directors if they are employees of our Company or of an Affiliated Company) are eligible to receive incentive stock options under the Plan. Employees of our Company or of an Affiliated Company, members of the board of directors (whether or not employed by our company or an Affiliated Company), and “Service Providers”, as defined in the 2017 Plan, are eligible to receive non-qualified options, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights under the 2017 Plan. All awards are subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

No option awards may be exercisable more than ten years after the date it is granted. In the event of termination of employment for cause, the options terminate on the date of employment is terminated. In the event of termination of employment for disability or death, the optionee or administrator of optionee’s estate or transferee has six months following the date of termination to exercise options received at the time of disability or death. In the event of termination for any other reason other than for cause, disability or death, the optionee has 30 days to exercise his or her options.

The 2017 Plan will continue in effect until all the stock available for grant or issuance has been acquired through exercise of options or grants of shares, or until ten years after its adoption, whichever is earlier. Awards under the 2017 Plan may also be accelerated in the event of certain corporate transactions such as a merger or consolidation or the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all our assets.

As of December 31, 2023, there were 3,547,788 shares of Common Stock issued with 952,212 remaining for awards under the 2017 Plan.

2019 Stock Incentive Plan

Awards may be made under the Plan for up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Only employees of our Company or of an “Affiliated Company”, as defined in the 2019 Plan, (including members of the board of directors if they are employees of our Company or of an Affiliated Company) are eligible to receive incentive stock options under the 2019 Plan. Employees of our Company or of an Affiliated Company, members of the board of directors (whether or not employed by our company or an Affiliated Company), and “Service Providers”, as defined in the 2019 Plan, are eligible to receive non-qualified options, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights under the 2019 Plan. All awards are subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

2022 Stock Incentive Plan

On March 18, 2022, the Board of Directors adopted the 2022 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”). The purposes of the 2022 Plan are (a) to enhance our ability to attract and retain the services of qualified employees, officers, directors, consultants, and other service providers upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the successful conduct and development of our business largely depends, and (b) to provide additional incentives to such persons or entities to devote their utmost effort and skill to the advancement and betterment of our company, by providing them an opportunity to participate in the ownership of our Company and thereby have an interest in the success and increased value of our Company.

The 2022 Plan is administered by our board of directors; however, the board of directors may designate administration of the 2022 Plan to a committee consisting of at least two independent directors. Awards may be made under the Plan for up to 20,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.

In accordance with the accounting reporting requirements for the recapitalization related to the “reverse merger” of OXYS, the consolidated financial statements for OXYS have been adjusted to reflect the change in the shares outstanding and the par value of the common stock of OXYS. Additionally, all intercompany transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following discussions are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingencies. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experiences and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management.

Historical Background

We were incorporated in the State of New Jersey on October 1, 2003 under the name of Creative Beauty Supply of New Jersey Corporation and subsequently changed our name to Gotham Capital Holdings, Inc. on May 18, 2015. We commenced operations in the beauty supply industry as of January 1, 2004. On November 30, 2007, our Board of Directors approved a plan to dispose of our wholesale and retail beauty supply business. From January 1, 2009 until July 28, 2017, we had no operations and were a shell company.

On March 16, 2017, our Board of Directors adopted resolutions, which were approved by shareholders holding a majority of our outstanding shares, to change our name to “IIOT-OXYS, Inc.”, to authorize a change of domicile from New Jersey to Nevada, to authorize a 2017 Stock Awards Plan, and to approve the Securities Exchange Agreement (the “OXYS SEA”) between the Company and OXYS Corporation (“OXYS”), a Nevada corporation incorporated on August 4, 2016.

Under the terms of the OXYS SEA we acquired 100% of the issued voting shares of OXYS in exchange for 34,687,244 shares of our Common Stock. We also cancelled 1,500,000 outstanding shares of our Common Stock and changed our management to Mr. DiBiase who also served in the management of OXYS. Also, one of our principal shareholders entered into a consulting agreement with OXYS to provide consulting services during the transition. The OXYS SEA was effective on July 28, 2017, and our name was changed to “IIOT-OXYS, Inc.” at that time. Effective October 26, 2017, our domicile was changed from New Jersey to Nevada.

At the present time, we have two wholly owned subsidiaries which are OXYS Corporation and HereLab, Inc. (an entity immaterial to our operations), through which our operations are conducted.

General Overview

IIOT-OXYS, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and OXYS, were originally established for the purposes of designing, building, testing, and selling Edge Computing systems for the Industrial Internet. Both companies were, and presently are, early-stage technology startups that are largely pre-revenue in their development phase. HereLab is also an early-stage technology development company. We received our first revenues in the last quarter of 2017, continued to realize revenues until 2020 when the pandemic hit, and we realized nominal revenues through 2021 to the present.

We develop hardware, software and algorithms that monitor, measure and predict conditions for energy, structural, agricultural and medical applications. We use domain-specific Artificial Intelligence to solve industrial and environmental challenges. Our engineered solutions focus on common sense approaches to machine learning, algorithm development and hardware and software products.

We use off the shelf components, with reconfigurable hardware architecture that adapts to a wide range of customer needs and applications. We use open-source software tools, while still creating proprietary content for customers, thereby reducing software development time and cost. The software works with the hardware to collect data from the equipment or structure that is being monitored.

We focus on developing insights. We develop algorithms that help our customers create insights from vast data streams. The data collected is analyzed and reports are created for the customer. From these insights, the customer can act to improve their process, product or structure.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022

For the year ended December 31, 2023, we earned revenues of $114,666 and incurred related cost of sales of $76,645. Our operating expenses were $731,430 which included professional fees of $172,704, payroll costs of $244,083, amortization of intangible assets of $49,500, bad debts of $215,069 and other general and administrative expenses of $51,029. We recorded net other expenses of $374,530 consisting of a loss of $185,973 due to debt extinguishment on   notes payable due to change in conversion price, interest income on note receivable of $25,969, offset by interest expense of $210,426 and loss on change in fair market value of derivative liability of $4,100. We also recorded $68,531 as preferred stock dividend on convertible preferred stock for the year ended December 31, 2023. As a result, we incurred a net loss of $1,136,460 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, we earned revenues of $88,904 and incurred related cost of sales of $10,499. Our operating expenses were $733,071 which included professional fees of $268,837, payroll costs of $373,774, amortization of intangible assets of $49,500, and general and administrative expenses of $40,960. We recorded net other expenses of $369,560 consisting of recording loss on derivatives of $200,519, interest expense of $377,138 offset by gain on change in fair market value of derivative liability of $190,462 and interest income on note receivable of $17,634. We also recorded $52,654 as preferred stock dividend on convertible preferred stock for the year ended December 31, 2022. As a result, we incurred a net loss of $1,076,881 for the year ended December 31, 2022.

During the current and prior year, we did not record an income tax benefit due to the uncertainty associated with the Company’s ability to utilize the deferred tax assets.

Revenues earned in 2023 were a substantial improvement over the same period in 2022 (an increase of 29%). We expect revenue to moderate in 2024, as our ability to raise funding to fuel sales & marketing efforts has been limited. Potential future revenue growth is possible, pending adequate funding for sales and marketing efforts and building on the strength of the following factors:

Despite these strengths, we continue to face significant headwinds and we have not been able to raise material funds for ongoing operations through our existing financing agreements due to market conditions. Our CEO and COO have not received any compensation since mid-April (their salaries have accrued), and the lack of funds has severely limited sales and marketing efforts. Our management is working to secure funding from our lead investor to pay for ongoing expenses and the leadership team is considering its options for both the short and long term. Given the current challenges in raising adequate funds, management is pursuing options including vetting suitable companies to merge with or acquire us.

We believe we’ve created substantial value from our business development in these industries, which have potential for success, due to the strength of their size and growth. The global smart manufacturing (also known as Industry 4.0) was $108.9 billion in 2023 and will reach $241 billion by 2028 (CAGR 17.2%),¹ and the worldwide SHM industry is $2.5 billion in 2024 and will reach $4.1 billion by 2029 (CAGR of 10.4%).²

Given the valuable real-world data we have collected, our Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) Machine Learning algorithms we have developed, compelling use cases and marketing collateral developed from our data and algorithms, combined with our experienced leadership, savvy technological talent, and prudent operational execution, we believe our company’s assets have potential continued annual revenue growth, that will be attractive to prospective partners interested in an acquisition or merger.

As of December 31, 2023, we reported a cash balance of $644 as a result of decrease of $32,692 from the $33,336 cash balance at December 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily as a result of net cash used in operating activities of $146,564 and net cash provided by financing activities of $113,872.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $0. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 resulted due to cash advanced for a promissory note receivable totaling $200,000.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $113,872 primarily due to sale of our common stock of $51,872 net of costs incurred in capital raise, and sale of Series B convertible preferred stock of $62,000. Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $843,524 primarily due to cash received from sale of common stock of $557,065 net of $11,141 cash paid for costs incurred in raising capital, and cash received from sale of Series B convertible preferred stock of $297,600.

As a result of the above activities, the Company recorded a decrease in cash of $32,692 for the year ended December 31, 2023, and a decrease in cash of $13,485 for the same comparable period ended December 31, 2022, respectively.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements, the Company has suffered continuing operating losses, has a working capital deficit of $2,067,461, used cash flows in operating activities of $146,564, and has an accumulated deficit of $10,443,597 as of December 31, 2023. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB and do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standard if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity capital expenditures or capital resources.

As a Smaller Reporting Company, we are not required to furnish information under this Item 7A.

Item 8.

Item 9.

None.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, as such, is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, Clifford Emmons and Karen McNemar, respectively, who serve as our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, respectively, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Mr. Emmons and Ms. McNemar, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2023. Based on their evaluation, Mr. Emmons and Ms. McNemar concluded that, due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2023. In light of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, we completed substantive procedures, including validating the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used for accounting prior to filing this Annual Report.

These additional procedures have allowed us to conclude that, notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed 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.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 based upon Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

During its evaluation, management noted certain matters involving internal control and its operation that we consider to be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses under standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.

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.

We noted deficiencies involving lack of segregation of duties, lack of governance/oversight, and lack of internal control documentation that we believe to be material weaknesses.

Because of this material weaknesses, management concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

Remediation of the Material Weakness

We are evaluating the material weaknesses and developing a plan of remediation to strengthen our overall internal control over financial reporting. The remediation plan will include the creation and adoption of a formal policy manual specifically dealing with financial controls.

Due to a material weakness as disclosed in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we committed to the same remediation plan, as disclosed above; however, due to lack of resources, we were unable to execute the contemplated remediation plan sans appointing an interim Chief Financial Officer. If we are unable to increase our workforce, we may never be able to implement the remediation plan proposed above.

We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and we believe that these remediation efforts will represent significant improvements in our controls. We have started to implement these steps, as disclosed above; however, some of these steps will take time to be fully integrated and confirmed to be effective and sustainable. Additional controls may also be required over time. Until the remediation steps set forth above are fully implemented and tested, the material weakness described above will continue to exist.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during our most recent fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, no director or officer adopted or terminated any Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement, as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

Not applicable to the Company.

A majority of the authorized number of directors constitutes a quorum of the Board of Directors for the transaction of business. The directors must be present at the meeting to constitute a quorum.

Legal Proceedings

During the past ten years there have been no events under any bankruptcy act, no criminal proceedings and no judgments, injunctions, orders or decrees material to the evaluation of the ability and integrity of any of our directors or executive officers, and none of these persons has been involved in any judicial or administrative proceedings resulting from involvement in mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity, any judicial or administrative proceedings based on violations of federal or state securities, commodities, banking or insurance laws or regulations, or any disciplinary sanctions or orders imposed by a stock, commodities or derivatives exchange or other self-regulatory organization.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships between any of our directors and executive officers.

Director Independence

We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “independent directors.”

We currently have not established any committees of the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees in the future. We do not have a nominating committee or a nominating committee charter. Further, we do not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. To date, other than as described above, no security holders have made any such recommendations. The entire Board of Directors performs all functions that would otherwise be performed by committees. Given the present size of our board it is not practical for us to have committees. If we are able to grow our business and increase our operations, we intend to expand the size of our board and allocate responsibilities accordingly.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Under U.S. securities laws, directors, certain officers and persons holding more than 10% of our common stock must report their initial ownership of our common stock and any changes in their ownership to the SEC. The SEC has designated specific due dates for these reports and we must identify in this Annual Report those people who did not file these reports when due. Based solely on our review of copies of the reports filed with the SEC, we believe that all reporting requirements for fiscal year 2023 were complied with by each person who at any time during the 2023 fiscal year was a director or an executive officer or held more than 10% of our common stock.

Code of Ethics

On March 9, 2018, the Board of Directors adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code”). The purpose of the Code of Ethics is to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

The Code of Ethics applies to all directors, officers, and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Code of Ethics is available at www.oxyscorp.com and is included as an exhibit to this Annual Report.

On January 22, 2019, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Cambridge MedSpace, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company for the purchase of a 5% Secured Convertible Note in the principal amount of $55,000. The note was convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of our Common Stock, at any time at a rate of $0.65 per share with fractions rounded up to the nearest whole share, unless paid in cash at our election. The note bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum and interest payments will be made on an annual basis. The original maturity date of the note was January 22, 2020. The note is governed by the SPA and is secured by all our assets (but is not a senior secured note) pursuant to the Security Agreement. In addition to the issuance of the note, we issued Cambridge MedSpace warrants to purchase one share of our Common Stock for 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the note. Each warrant was originally immediately exercisable at $0.75 per share and expires on January 22, 2024. The lender is owned by shareholders of the Company, or their affiliates, including Clifford L.

On August 2, 2019, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Vidhyadhar Mitta, a director of the Company, for the purchase of a 12% Secured Convertible Note in the principal amount of up to $125,000. The note was originally convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of our Common Stock, at any time at a rate of $0.08 per share with fractions rounded up to the nearest whole share, unless paid in cash at our election. The note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum and interest payments were originally to be made on a quarterly basis. The note originally matured August 2, 2021. On August 2, 2019, the first closing of the note occurred pursuant to which we received $75,000. On September 6, 2019, the second closing occurred pursuant to which the Company received $25,000. On October 16, 2019, the third closing occurred pursuant to which the Company received $25,000.

The note is governed by the SPA and is secured by all the assets of the Company (but is not a senior secured note) pursuant to the Security Agreement.

Each warrant was originally immediately exercisable at $0.12 per share and expires on August 2, 2024.

Due to adjustments to the conversion price of the note, the conversion price is currently $0.0008.

Director Independence

We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “independent directors.” Although we have not adopted the independence standards any national securities exchange to determine the independence of directors, the NYSE MKT LLC provides that a person will be considered an independent director if he or she is not an officer of the company and is, in the view of our board of directors, free of any relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment. Under this standard, our board of directors has determined that Mr. Mitta would meet this standard, and therefore, would be considered to be independent.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of IIOT-OXYS, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of IIOT-OXYS, Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses since inception and has negative cash flows from operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Complex Equity Transactions

As discussed in Note 9, the Company has outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred stock that is required to be analyzed pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Management uses an option pricing model to evaluate the fair value of its derivative liabilities, which requires management to make assumptions related to fair value measurements. Calculations and accounting for these features require management’s judgments related to initial and subsequent recognition of the debt and related features, use of a valuation model, and value of the inputs used in the selected valuation model.

How We Addressed the Matter

Our audit procedures related to the evaluation of the Company’s accounting for these instruments included the following, among others:

Consideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
