CAVITATION TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Management report and analysis of the financial situation and operating results. (Form 10-Q)

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as its plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Its actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Overview of our Business
Cavitation Technologies, Inc. ("CTi"), aNevada corporation, was originally incorporated under the nameBio Energy, Inc. We design and engineer environmentally friendly technology-based systems that are designed to serve large, growing, global markets such as vegetable oil refining, renewable fuels, water treatment, algae oil extraction, biodiesel production, water-oil emulsions and crude oil yield enhancement. Our systems are designed to process industrial liquids at a lower cost and higher yield than conventional technology. We are a process and product development that has developed, patented, and commercialized proprietary technology. CTi has developed, patented, and commercialized proprietary technology that can be used for processing of industrial fluids. CTi's patented Nano Reactor® is the critical components of the CTi Nano Neutralization® System which is commercially proven to reduce operating costs and increase yields in processing oils and fats. CTi has two issued patents relating to our Nano Reactor® systems and has filed several national and international patents to employ its proprietary technology in applications including, vegetable oil refining, biodiesel production, waste water treatment, algae oil extraction, and alcoholic beverage enhancement. We are engaged in manufacturing our Nano-Reactors, which are designed to help refine vegetable oils, biodiesel transesterification and treatment of produced and frack water. Our near-term goal is to continue to sell our systems through our partnerDesmet Ballestra , EW and ABI. During the past several years we have developed a number of new applications utilizing the core principal of our technology. Our low-pressure non-reactors (LPN)can be utilized in multiple industries that process large volumes of fluids, such as produced and frack water treatment and anticipate accelerated commercial sales in our fiscal 2022. Further, we have miniaturized our non-reactors to be utilized in various consumer-oriented products, such as, processing and enhancing spirits and wines, drinking water with infusion of vitamins, minerals and cannabidiol (CBD) oil. We had an agreement to license our technology globally through our strategic partner,Desmet Ballestra Group (Desmet) and existing agreements withEnviro Watertek, LLC (EW) andAlchemy Beverages, Inc (ABI). Desmet have been providing monthly advances of$40,000 in accordance with a license agreement with Desmet which has been renewed onOctober 1, 2021 . Additionally, we are working with ABI on expansion of our alcoholic beverages license agreement with a new strategic partner and anticipate to announce a new agreement in ourMarch 2022 . We may need additional funding, and may attempt to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to fund operations and additional working capital. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such financing or obtained sufficient amounts necessary to meet our business needs, or that we will be able to meet our future contractual obligations. InMarch 2020 theWorld Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, has adversely affected workforces, customers, economies, and financial markets globally. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for our product and harm our business and results of operations. It is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on our business or results of operations at this time.

Liquidity and capital resources
During the six months endedDecember 31, 2021 the Company incurred a net loss of$115,000 and a working capital deficit of$755,000 . These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company'sJune 30, 2021 financial statements, has expressed substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As ofDecember 31, 2021 , we had cash and cash equivalents on hand of$1,100,000 and are not generating sufficient revenues to fund operations. In addition, management believes we may require additional funds to continue to operate our business. Management's plan is to generate income from operations by continuing to license our technology globally through our strategic partners,Desmet Ballestra Group (Desmet),Enviro Watertek (EW) and Alchemy Beverages, Inc. (ABI). Desmet has been providing us monthly advances of$40,000 and our renewed contract is throughOctober 1, 2024 to be applied against from future reactor sales. We may also attempt to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to fund operations and provide additional working capital. However, there is no assurance that such financing will be consummated or obtained in sufficient amounts necessary to meet the Company's needs, that the Company will be able to achieve profitable operations or that the Company will be able to meet its future contractual obligations. Should management fail to obtain such financing, the Company may curtail its operations. 20 Cash Flow

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months endedDecember 31, 2021 amounted to$1,179,000,000 as a result of an investment in a joint venture compared to$125,000 for the same period ended in fiscal 2020. Net cash provided in financing activities during the six months endedDecember 31, 2021 , amounted to$785,000 as a result of the sale of our common stock, compared to$150,000 as a result of a note payable obtained from theSmall Business Association under its Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) assistance program.
Significant accounting policies Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in theU.S requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are used for allowance for doubtful accounts, reserve for inventory obsolescence, impairment analysis for property and equipment, accrual of potential liabilities, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and assumption in valuing our stock options, warrants, and common stock issued for services, among other items. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Revenue Recognition
The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients. Revenue from sale of our Nano Reactors is recognized when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities as this is our sole performance obligation under these contracts and we have no continuing obligation to the customer. The Company also recognizes revenue from its share of gross profit to be earned from distributors, as defined, which we treat as variable consideration and recognize using the most likely amount method. Estimates are available from our distributor which are considered in the determination of the most likely amount. However, given the lack of control over the sale to theend customer and the lack of history of prior sales, the amount of gross profit revenue recognized is limited to the actual amount of cash received under the contract which the Company has determined is not refundable and it is probable that a significant revenue reversal of cumulative product revenue under the contract will not occur. In addition, the Company also recognizes revenues from usage fees of certain reactors. Usage fees are recognized based on actual usage by the customer.
Investment in an unconsolidated joint venture
The Company accounts for its investment in an unconsolidated joint venture under the equity method of accounting as we exercise significant influence over, but do not control, the joint venture. The investment in the unconsolidated joint venture is initially recorded at cost, and subsequently increased for capital contributions and allocations of net income, and decreased for capital distributions and allocations of net loss. Equity in net income (loss) from the unconsolidated joint venture is allocated based on our economic interest. We assess our investment in unconsolidated joint venture for recoverability, and if it is determined that a loss in value of the investment is other than temporary, we write down the investment to its fair value. We do not believe that the value of our equity investment was impaired as ofDecember 31, 2021 .
