Controls
and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based
on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) required
by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15, as of December 31, 2022, our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer
has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by
us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer also concluded that,
as of December 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed
by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We
are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Exchange Act Rule
13a-15. With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted an evaluation
of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 based on the criteria established in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013). Based on this evaluation,
management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2022, based on those criteria.
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives
of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
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 have identified the following material weaknesses:
1.
As
of December 31, 2022, due to the inherent issue of segregation of duties in a small company, we have relied heavily on entity or
management review controls. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
2.
As
of December 31, 2022, we did not establish a formal written policy for the approval, identification, and authorization of related
party transactions.
3.
During
the 2022 audit, it was necessary to record adjusting journal entries. Management has determined
that the effects of the corrected misstatements are material, both individually and in the
aggregate, to the financial statements as a whole. The corrected misstatements or the matters
underlying them could potentially cause future period financial statements to be materially
misstated, even though, in the judgment of our auditor previously, such corrected misstatements
are material to the financial statements under audit.
Professional
standards define an audit adjustment as a proposed correction of the financial statements that, in the judgment of our auditor previously,
may not have been detected except through the auditing procedures. An audit adjustment may or may not indicate matters that could
have a significant effect on the Company’s financial reporting process (that is, cause future financial statements to be materially
misstated). In the judgment of our auditor previously, the adjustments proposed indicate matters that could have a significant effect
on the Company’s financial reporting process.
Because
of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2022, based on the criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the COSO.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During
the quarter ended December 31, 2022, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection
with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations
on Effectiveness of Controls
Our
management, including our CEO and EVP Finance, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over
financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect
the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the
inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances
of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and
Stockholders
of Rainmaker Worldwide, Inc.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rainmaker Worldwide, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021,
and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for
each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company
as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended
December 31, 2022, 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 continuing net losses from operations and has a significant
accumulated deficit which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding
those matters are discussed in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis
for Opinion
These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. 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 audits 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 consolidated 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 audits, 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
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matter
The
critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that
was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material
to the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are
not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or
disclosures to which they relate.
Derivative
Liabilities
As
discussed in Note 4, the Company borrows funds through the use of convertible notes payable that contain a conversion price that may
be fixed or fluctuates with the stock price.
Auditing
management’s estimates of the fair value of the derivative liability involves significant judgements and estimates given the embedded
conversion features of the notes.
To
evaluate the appropriateness of the fluctuation of the conversion price, the embedded conversion feature requires bifurcation from the
host contract and is recorded as a liability subject to market adjustments as of each reporting period. Significant judgment is exercised
by the Company in determining derivative liability values for these convertible note agreements, including the use of a specialist engaged
by management.
We
evaluated management’s conclusions regarding their derivative liability and reviewed support for the significant inputs used in
the valuation model, as well as assessing the model for reasonableness.

Note
1: Nature of Operations, Reverse Merger and Going Concern
Nature
of Operations
Rainmaker
Worldwide Inc. (“Rainmaker” or the “Company” or “RAKR”) is a Nevada company which operates Rainmaker
Worldwide Inc. (Ontario) (“RWI”) with its head office in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. The Company distributes two main
types of energy-efficient, fresh water-producing technologies: (1) Air-to-Water (“AW”), which harvests fresh water from humidity
in the atmosphere, and (2) Water-to-Water (“WW”), which transforms seawater or polluted water into drinking water. The technology
can use wind, solar, or use conventional power sources (grid or generator), is deployable anywhere, and leaves no carbon trace if renewable
resources are deployed.
As
part of the asset restructuring completed March 31, 2021, Rainmaker retained a 12 % interest in Rainmaker Holland B.V. (“RHBV”)
which consists of the innovation and manufacturing center located in Rotterdam, Netherlands. RAKR will purchase equipment on a favorable
cost-plus formula.
Reverse
Merger
RWI
was incorporated on July 21, 2014 under the Ontario Business Corporations Act. On July 3, 2017, RWI shareholders completed a share exchange
with the Company (the “Merger”) pursuant to a share exchange agreement dated June 28, 2017 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”)
among the Company, RWI and RWI’s 45 shareholders. Upon completion of the Merger, and in accordance with the terms and provisions
of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired an aggregate of 9,029,562 common shares in the capital of RWI from the RWI Shareholders
(being all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of RWI) in exchange for an aggregate of 66,818,759 restricted shares of
the Company’s common stock, or 7.4 shares for each share of RWI. Therefore, RWI became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
effective July 3, 2017. The Company’s former name, Gold and Silver Mining of Nevada, Inc. (“CJT”) was changed on April
24, 2017 in expectation of and conditional upon completion of the Merger. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition with
RWI considered the accounting acquirer since the former RWI shareholders remained in control of the combined entity after the transaction.
As part of the merger, net liabilities of $ 235,495 were recognized on the Company’s balance sheet. As a result of the Merger, the
Company traded on the OTC Pink, but, as of March 17, 2022, the Company now trades on the OTCQB continuing to trade under the symbol,
RAKR.
F- 7
Merger
with Sphere 3D
On
July 15, 2020 Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ: ANY) announced that it entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which it would have
acquired all the outstanding securities of Rainmaker Worldwide Inc. Upon closing, Sphere 3D’s name would have changed to Rainmaker
Worldwide Inc., and its business model would have focused on “WaaS”. Rainmaker management would have assumed operational
leadership of the combined entity. The agreement was ultimately terminated on February 12, 2021 and was subsequently announced publicly.
As
a result of the incomplete Sphere 3D transaction, on March 31, 2021, the Company, including RWI, entered into a business agreement with
RHBV, DRM and Wind en Water Technologie Holding B.V. (“WWT”). These companies were considered related parties on that date
by virtue of stock ownership exceeding 10 %. The parties agreed to an exchange of contractual obligations, debt owed, and shares of common
stock in full settlement of all obligations among the parties. The resultant Financial Statements, in accordance with ASC 205-20-45-1E,
reflect the impact of these exchanges to the Company. The Company and RHBV decided to restructure in order to optimize business operations
and broaden access to the capital markets. The Company and RHBV, as mutual shareholders in each other’s company, continue to pursue
the mission and objective of providing low-cost water to communities and commercial entities in need of water solutions. The Company
retains a 12 % ownership stake in RHBV. RAKR retains access to the technology based on a cost-plus formula.
Going
Concern
The
Company has incurred continuing losses from its operations and has an accumulated deficit of $ 72,834,664 . There are no assurances the
Company will be able to raise capital on acceptable terms or that cash flows generated from its operations will be sufficient to meet
its current operating costs and required debt service. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, it
may be required to reduce the scope of its business, which could harm its financial condition and operating results. These conditions
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue ongoing operations. These consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
The
Company’s ability to continue its operations and to pay its obligations when they become due is contingent upon the Company obtaining
additional financing. Management’s plans include seeking to procure additional funds through debt and equity financings to enable
it to meet its operating needs including current and future sales orders.
F- 8
Note
2: Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Preparation
The
consolidated financial statements presented are for the entity Rainmaker and its wholly owned subsidiary, Rainmaker Worldwide Inc. (Ontario)
and Rainmaker Holland B.V. (“RHBV” Discontinued Operations) as a consolidated entity. The consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States 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 as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
All
accounting policies are chosen to ensure the resulting financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability.
Foreign
Currency Translation
The
reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar. The financial statements of discontinued operations and the subsidiary
located outside of the United States are measured in their functional currency: Rainmaker Worldwide Inc. (Ontario) reports in Canadian
dollars and Rainmaker Holland B.V. (as Discontinued Operations) reports in Euros. Monetary assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries
are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated using average annual exchange
rates. Non-monetary assets are translated at their historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated other
comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheets.
Intangible
Assets
The
Company acquired intellectual property including know-how and patents in the December 2015 Asset Purchase Agreement whereby Rainmaker
Worldwide Inc. (Ontario) purchased the assets of Dutch Rainmaker B.V. (“DRM”) and Wind En Water Technologie Holding B.V.
(“WWT”). Commencing January 2016, the Company has amortized the patents and know-how using the average life expectancy of
the patents which is 14 years. As discussed in Note 18 (Discontinued Operations), these intangible assets were a part of the restructuring
agreement and are no longer reflected on the RAKR balance sheet.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes the original purchase
price of the asset and any costs attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.
Depreciation
is provided at rates estimated to write off the cost of the relevant assets less their estimated residual values by equal annual amounts
over their expected useful lives. Residual values and expected useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of
each reporting period. Depreciation periods for the Company’s property and equipment are as follows:
Schedule
of Estimated Useful Lives of Property and Equipment
Leasehold
Improvements – lesser of 10 years or lease duration
Manufacturing
Equipment – 5 years
Office
Furniture & Equipment – 5 years
Demonstration
Equipment – 10 years
Intellectual
Property – 14 years
Computer
Software – 5 years
Demonstration
Equipment
Demonstration
equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes the original purchase price
of the asset and any costs attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.
Depreciation
for the demonstration equipment is at a rate estimated to write off the cost of the equipment less its estimated residual value by an
equal annual amount over its expected useful life. The residual value and expected useful life of the demonstration equipment is reviewed
and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
F- 9
Embedded
Conversion Features
The
Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging to determine whether
the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value
with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the
instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options for consideration of any beneficial conversion
features. On January 1, 2022 the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective method and reviewed and calculated
the impact on the outstanding financial instruments as of this adoption date concluding there was no impact.
Revenue
Recognition
In
May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update (‘ASU”), 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).
This ASU amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and is based on the principle that revenue should be recognized
to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in
exchange for those goods or services. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the modified retrospective method, and the Company determined the new guidance does
not change the Company’s policy of revenue recognition.
The
Company will have two sources of revenue. The first is through the direct sales of water production and purification systems. A contract
with a customer is established once an agreement is signed and the initial down payment is received. Each transaction price is established
in the signed contract. Unearned revenue is recognized upon receipt of the down payment for the system. The revenue is recognized once
title of the system transfers to the customer. The nature of the business of equipment sales implies there is only one performance obligation
which is delivery of the product to the customer. Our contracts outline each party’s rights and obligations including the terms
and timing of payments. The second source of revenue is in exchange for operating, maintenance and professional services associated with
joint ventures. That revenue is recognized in the period it is earned.
In
June 2018, the FASB issued guidance clarifying the revenue recognition and measurement issues for grants, contracts, and similar arrangements,
ASU Topic 958. Government grants and contracts are agreements that generally provide cost reimbursement for certain types of expenditures
in return for research and development activities over a contractually defined period. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue from
its grant and contract in the period during which the related costs are incurred, provided that the conditions under which the grants
and contracts were provided have been met and only perfunctory performance obligations are outstanding.
Related
Party Transactions
Parties
are considered to be related if one party has the ability to directly or indirectly control the other party or exercise significant influence
over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common
control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be
a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. Related party transactions
that are in the normal course of business and have commercial substance are measured at the exchange amount.
F- 10
Share-based
Payment Expense
The
Company follows the fair value method of accounting for stock awards granted to employees, directors, officers, and consultants. Share-based
awards to employees are measured at the fair value of the related share-based awards. Share-based payments to others are valued based
on the related services rendered or goods received or if this cannot be reliably measured, on the fair value of the instruments issued.
Issuances of shares are valued using the fair value of the shares at the time of grant; issuances of options are valued using the Black-Scholes
model with assumptions based on historical experience and future expectations.
Asset
Retirement Obligation
As
of the date of this filing, we hold no assets that are subject to ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations. In the case
that such requirements are needed, the Company will follow ACS 410. The liability is accreted each period over the maximum term of the
contractual agreements. The Company records the offsetting asset to the initial obligation as an increase to the carrying amount of the
related long-lived asset and depreciates that cost over the maximum term of the contractual agreements.
Financial
Liabilities and Equity Instruments
Financial
liabilities and equity instruments are classified and accounted for as debt or equity according to the substance of the contractual arrangements
entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all
of its liabilities.
Marketing,
Advertising and Promotional Costs
As
required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the United States, the Company records marketing costs as an expense in the year
to which such costs relate. The Company does not defer amounts on its year-end consolidated balance sheets with respect to marketing
costs. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
F- 11
Segment
Reporting
ASC
280-10, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, establishes standards for the way that public
business enterprises report information about operating segments in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Operating
segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Chief
Executive Officer in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has reportable segments in the United States,
Canada and The Netherlands (discontinued operations).

Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the United States 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 expenses during the year. Management bases its estimates
on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ
from the estimates.
Loss
per Share
The
Company reports loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed by
dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share is computed
by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding
during the year. All potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive due the Company’s net loss. The
Company has options, debentures and other potentially dilutive instruments extending to the latest date of July 1,
2027 .
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, we determine
deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities
by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates
on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
F- 12
The
Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making
such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary
differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If we determine that we would
be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred
tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
The
Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) we determine whether
it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for
those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is
more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
Income
tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities.
The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted by the date of the statement of financial position.
Equity-Settled
Transactions
The
costs of equity-settled transactions with employees are measured by reference to the fair value at the date on which they are granted.
The
costs of equity-settled transactions are recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance
and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (“the
vesting date”). The cumulative expense is recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date
reflects the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The profit or loss charge or
credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period and the corresponding
amount is represented in share-based compensation reserve.
No
expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition,
which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market condition is satisfied provided that all other performance and/or
service conditions are satisfied.
Where
the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense as if the terms had not been modified.
An additional expense is recognized for any modification which increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement
or is beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.
Inventory
Inventory
and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The production cost of inventory includes an appropriate
proportion of depreciation and production overheads based the ratio of indirect vs. direct costs. Cost is determined on the following
bases: Raw materials and consumables are valued at cost on a first in, first out (FIFO) basis; finished products are valued at raw material
cost, labor cost and a proportion of manufacturing overhead expenses.
Financial
Instruments
ASC
820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a
fair value hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority
to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable
inputs (level 3 measurements).
Fair
value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon the sale of an asset or payment to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
F- 13
Fair
value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or
liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:
Level
1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level
2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in
markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level
3 - Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data.
The
Company’s policy is to recognize transfers into and out of Level 3 as of the date of the event or change in the circumstances that
caused the transfer. There were no such transfers during the periods being reported.
Customer
Concentration
Due
to the infancy of the Company’s market penetration, current sales are concentrated on a limited number of customers.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains
the majority of its cash accounts at a commercial bank. Cash balances are insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (“CDIC”)
up to CAD$ 100,000 per commercial bank. From time to time, cash in deposit accounts may exceed the insurance limits thus the excess would
be at risk of loss. For purposes of the statement of cash flows we consider all cash and highly liquid investments with maturities of
90 days or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no cash equivalents.
Customer Deposits
The typical arrangement for customer deposits for purchases of Company
products is 50 % down at the time of ordering. The Company records the deposit as a current liability reflecting the obligation to
provide the goods or services to the customer or to return the money. When the Company earns the deposit amount, the current liability
will be debited, and sales revenues will be credited.

On
May 10, 2018, the Company entered into a $ 200,000 unsecured, convertible promissory note maturing on July 10, 2018. The note was interest
bearing at a rate of 12 % interest per annum with no interest payments due until maturity and convertible into shares of the Company’s
Common Stock at a fixed price of $ 0.35 per share. The holder of the note was issued 100,000 shares of common stock in lieu of set-up
fees and interest for the term of the loan which was discounted against note in the amount of $ 25,000 , the market value of the shares
issued on the date of the note. The Company evaluated the note for a beneficial conversion feature at the date of issuance noting that
there was no BCF related. The note was in default from July 10, 2018 through January 20, 2019 and thus in addition to the above 12%,

states that if the holder exercises their option to convert, then the holder will be able to convert 115% of the principal and accrued
interest on the date of conversion . The conversion feature expired July 9, 2019 and was not exercised. The Company evaluated the note
for a beneficial conversion feature at the date of issuance noting that there was no BCF related. The note is secured by a general pledge
on assets. As part of the restructuring completed March 31, 2021, this loan and all accrued interest was transferred to Rainmaker Holland

(1) described above, and the principal and interest
on the existing note issued August 4, 2020, in the amount of $ 150,000

4: Derivative Liabilities
Derivative liabilities – Convertible Notes
In
Q3, 2022, the convertible debt issued February 7, 2022, March 11, 2022 and July 26, 2022 became eligible for conversion on August 6,
2022, September 7, 2022 and July 26, 2022 respectively. During Q4, 2022, the convertible debt issued June 28, 2022 became eligible for
conversion on December 25, 2022. The Company engaged a third-party consultant to determine the fair value of the convertible notes. The
subsequent evaluation determined that the notes should be accounted for as derivative liabilities upon the date they became convertible
due to the variable conversion price included in each note based on Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance.
The derivative component of the obligation is initially valued and classified as a derivative liability with an offset to discounts on
convertible debt. Discounts have been amortized to interest expense over the respective term of the related note. For Q3, 2022, the Monte
Carlo simulation model used a risk-free interest rate of ranging from 2.77 % to 3.75 %, volatility ranging from 134.4 % to 179.5 %, trading
prices ranging from $ 0.0090 per share to $ 0.0220 per share and a conversion price ranging from $ 0.0062 to $ 0.0109 per share. For Q4,
2022 the simulation model used a risk-free interest rate of ranging from 3.84 % to 4.38 %, volatility ranging from 181.8 % to 235.6 %, trading
prices ranging from $ 0.005 per share to $ 0.012 per share and a conversion price ranging from $ 0.005 to $ 0.0053 per share. The total derivative
liabilities associated with these notes were $ 76,622 at December 31, 2022 and $ 0 at December 31, 2021. The Company’s debt discount
relating to these convertible notes amounted to $ 71,542 at December 31, 2022 and the Company recorded interest expense for the amortization
of the discount in the amount of $ 102,039 at December 31, 2022. The Company recorded a change in the value of embedded derivative liabilities
expense of $ 11,693 to December 31, 2022.
On
July 26, 2022, due to the tainted equity environment, existing convertible notes required derivative treatment. The convertible note
in the amount of $ 8,200 and the convertible note in the amount of $ 3,105,896.72 (discussed in Note 3) had an initial debt discount of
$ 397,542 , loss on initial derivative of $ 126,888 and a derivative liability of $ 524,330 . At December 31, 2022, $ 142,667 of the debt discount
was amortized.
Derivative
liabilities – Warrants
Due
to the tainted equity environment at July 26, 2022, the Company recognized derivative liability for existing warrants in the amount of
$ 273,679 . On December 31, 2022, a gain on derivative liabilities was recognized in the amount of $ 229,355 leaving a fair value at December
31, 2022 of $ 44,324 for warrants.

14: Leases
The
Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification
criteria of a finance or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments
to present value; the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company must discount
lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate.
There
are no lease related assets and liabilities recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
The
lease expense for the period ended December 31, 2022 is nil (2021: $ 12,364 ).

16: Income Taxes
The
Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in
effect when these differences are expected to reverse. This method requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation
allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will
not be realized. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s deferred tax assets relate to net operating loss (“NOL”)
carryforwards that were derived from operating losses and stock-based compensation from prior years. A full valuation allowance has
been applied to the Company’s deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance will be reduced when and if the Company determines
it is more likely than not that the related deferred income tax assets will be realized. At December 31, 2022, the Company had
federal net operating loss carryforwards, which are available to offset future taxable income, of $ 5,630,661 . The
Company’s NOL carryforwards can be carried forward to offset future taxable income for a period of 20 years for each tax
year’s loss. These
NOL carryforwards begin to expire in 2037. No provision was made for federal income taxes as the Company has significant NOLs in the
United States and Canada. All of the Company’s income tax years remained open for examination by taxing
authorities.
