FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements” regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations and market trends and expectations. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Our plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving the continued expansion of our business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. This is especially underlined by the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company, including the related effects to our business operations, results of operations, cash flows, and financial position. Although we believe that our assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate, and therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will prove to be accurate. Considering the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning:

| ● | Continued COVID-19 outbreak and its effects on our business operations and financial condition;

| ● | Our dependence on a few major customers for a significant portion of our revenue and the potential adverse effects to our financial condition if we fail to maintain or develop our relationship with one or more of these major customers;

| ● | The impact on our business operations and financial condition if we fail to raise additional funds;

| ● | The potential adverse effects to our business operations and financial condition by geopolitical unrest and changes in political, social, regulatory or economic environments;

| ● | The potential interruption or delay of raw materials caused by restrictions on freight and transportation routes;

| ● | The exposure to potentially adverse tax consequences on our international operations;

| ● | The impact to our business operations by adverse conditions or events affecting the marine transportation industry;

| ● | Our ability to adapt to potentially adverse changes in global and regional economic conditions and legislative, regulatory and political developments;

| ● | Our dependence on the expertise and experience of our management team and the retention of key management.

| ● | Our future reliance on qualified additional personnel to expand our business;

| ● | Our ability to compete in a changing regulatory landscape, enforcement of existing emissions-related environmental regulations and potential further tightening of emission standards worldwide;

| ● | Our dependence on corporate or government funding for emissions control programs;

| ● | Our ability to manage our expected revenue growth;

| ● | Our ability to compete under changing governmental standards by which our products are evaluated;

| ● | The potential monetary costs of defending our intellectual property rights;

| ● | Our ability to successfully protect our intellectual property rights;

Table of Contents

| ● | The possibility of a dispute over intellectual property developed in conjunction with third parties with whom we have contractual relationships;

| ● | The possibility that we could become subject to litigation that could be costly, limit or cancel our intellectual property rights or divert time and efforts away from our business operations;

| ● | The potential negative impact to the sales of our products caused by technological advances of our competitors;

| ● | The adverse effect to our business operations if we fail to obtain adequate supplies of raw materials or fail to obtain raw materials at affordable prices;

| ● | Our potential reliance on subcontractors or to develop sufficient manufacturing capacity to meet demand;

| ● | The financial impact of fluctuation and volatility of foreign currencies;

| ● | The potential liability for environmental harm or damages resulting from technical faults or failures of our products;

| ● | The possibility that an investor located within the United States may not be able to or find it difficult to enforce any judgments obtained in United States courts because a significant portion of our assets and some of our officers and directors may be located outside of the United States;

| ● | The possibility that we may not be able to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, leading to inaccurate reports of our financial results;

| ● | The possibility of breaches in the security of our information technology systems;

| ● | The liability risk of our compliance to environmental laws and regulations;

| ● | The potential negative impact of more stringent environmental laws and regulations as governmental agencies seek to improve minimum standards;

| ● | The possibility that enforcement actions to suspend or severely restrict our business operations could be brought against the Company for our failure to comply with laws or regulations and the potential costs of defending against such actions.

Any forward-looking statement made by us herein speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor can we assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Functional Currency / Foreign currency translation -- The functional currency of LiqTech International, Inc., LiqTech USA, Inc. and LiqTech NA is the U.S. Dollar. The functional currency of LiqTech Holding, LiqTech Water, LiqTech Plastics, LiqTech Ceramics, LiqTech Water Projects and LiqTech Emission Control is the Danish Krone (“DKK”); the functional currency of LiqTech China is the Renminbi (“RMB”); the functional currency of LiqTech Germany is the Euro; and the functional currency of LiqTech Singapore is the Singapore Dollar. The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar for the purpose of these consolidated financial statements. The balance sheet accounts of the foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars at the period-end exchange rates, and all revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Translation gains and losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arose from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statement of operations as incurred.

Cash and Restricted Cash -- The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company held $1,817,444 and $2,125,695, respectively, of restricted cash. The restricted cash is held as security by a local financial institution for insuring a leasing facility and for payment guarantees issued for the benefit of customers in connection with prepayments of sales orders and for warranties after the delivery of products.

Accounts held in each U.S. institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the Company had respectively $15,697,922 and $11,346,826 in excess of the FDIC insured limit.

Accounts Receivable -- Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables arising in the normal course of business. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the Accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, age, financial information that is publicly accessible and other currently available evidence.

The roll-forward of the allowance for doubtful accounts for the periods ended June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are as follows:

|  | June 30, 2022 |  |  | December 31, 2021 |
Allowance for doubtful accounts at the beginning of the period |  | $ | 409,076 |  |  | $ | 498,044 |
Bad debt expense |  |  | 73,749 |  |  |  | (28,499 | )
Receivables written off during the periods |  |  | (307,885 | ) |  |  | (24,415 | )
Effect of currency translation |  |  | (22,629 | ) |  |  | (36,054 | )
Allowance for doubtful accounts at the end of the period |  | $ | 152,311 |  |  | $ | 409,076 |

Inventory – Inventory directly purchased is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value, as determined on the first-in, first-out method.

For inventory produced, standard costs that approximate actual costs, applying the FIFO method, are used to value inventory. Standard costs are reviewed at least annually by management or more often in the event that circumstances indicate a change in cost has occurred.

Work in process and finished goods include material, labor, and production overhead costs. The Company adjusts the value of its inventory to the extent management determines that the cost cannot be recovered due to obsolescence or other factors.

Inventory valuation adjustments for excess and obsolete inventory are calculated based on current inventory levels, movement, expected useful lives, and estimated future demand of the products and spare parts.

Contracts Assets / Liabilities – Contract assets are the Company’s rights to consideration in exchange for goods or services and is recognized when a performance obligation has been satisfied but has not yet been billed. When the Company issues invoices to the customer and the billing is higher than the capitalized Contract assets, the net amount is transferred to Contract liabilities. Contract assets/liabilities are transferred to revenue and cost of goods sold when the right to consideration is unconditional and billed per the terms of the contractual agreement.

Contract assets also include unbilled receivables, which usually comprise the last invoice remaining after the delivery of the water treatment unit, where revenue is recognized at the transfer of control based upon signed acceptance by the customer. Most often this invoice is sent to the customer at commissioning of the product or no later than 12 months after the delivery. Also included in Contract assets are short-term receivables such as VAT and other receivables.

Leases -- The Company has elected to not recognize lease assets and liabilities with an initial term of 12 months or less and to not separate lease and non-lease components. The Company’s accounting for finance leases (formerly called capital lease obligations) remains substantially unchanged. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date is used in determining the present value. The Company will use the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU asset also included prepaid lease payments, reduced by accrued lease payments. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, for which the Company will reflect the change when it is reasonably certain that those options will be exercised. Operating lease costs for lease payments will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Property and Equipment -- Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized upon being placed in service. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to ten years.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets -- The purchase price of an acquired company is allocated between intangible assets and the net tangible assets of the acquired business, with the residual purchase price recorded as goodwill. The determination of the value of the intangible assets acquired involves certain judgments and estimates. These judgments can include, but are not limited to, the cash flows that an asset is expected to generate in the future and the appropriate weighted average cost of capital.

Acquired intangible assets with determinable useful lives are amortized on a straight-line or accelerated basis over the estimated periods benefited, ranging from one to ten years. Customer relationships and other non-contractual intangible assets with determinable lives are amortized over periods of five years.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. The evaluation of recoverability involves estimates of future operating cash flows based upon certain forecasted assumptions, including, but not limited to, revenue growth rates, gross profit margins, and operating expenses over the expected remaining useful life of the related asset. A shortfall in these estimated operating cash flows could result in an impairment charge in the future.

Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated annually for impairment at the reporting unit level or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. The Company estimates the fair value of the reporting unit using the discounted cash flow and market approaches. Forecasts of future cash flows are based on the Company’s best estimate of future net sales and operating expenses, using primarily expected category expansion, pricing, market segment fundamentals, and general economic conditions.

Revenue Recognition -- On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which includes clarifying ASUs issued in 2015, 2016 and 2017 (“new revenue standard”). The new revenue standard was applied to all open revenue contracts using the modified retrospective method as of January 1, 2018.

The Company sells products throughout the world, and sales by geographical region are as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

For liquid filters and systems, diesel particulate filters and plastic components, revenue is recognized when performance obligations specified within the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied, which occurs when control of the product transfers to the customer or when services are rendered by the Company. The majority of the Company's sales contracts contain performance obligations satisfied at a point in time when title along with risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer. This generally occurs when the product is shipped or accepted by the customer. Revenue for service contracts is recognized as the services are provided. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring the goods or providing services. The satisfaction of performance obligations under the terms of a revenue contract generally gives rise to the right to receive payment from the customer. The Company's standard payment terms vary by the type and location of the customer and the products or services offered. Generally, the time between when revenue is recognized and when payment is due is not significant. Pre-payments received prior to satisfaction of performance obligations are recorded as a Contract liability. Considering the relatively short time between revenue recognition and receipt of payment, financing components do not exist between the Company and its customers.

For contracts with customers that include multiple performance obligations, judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations specified in these contracts are distinct and should be accounted for as separate revenue transactions for recognition purposes. For such arrangements, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling prices are generally determined based on the prices charged to customers or using expected cost-plus margin.

System sales are recognized when the Company transfers control to the customer based upon sales and delivery conditions specified in the sales contract. This typically occurs upon shipment of the system from the production facility but can also occur upon other agreed delivery terms. In connection with the completion of the system, it is normal procedure to issue a FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) asserting that the customer has accepted the performance of the system as it is being shipped from our production facility in Hobro. As part of the performance obligation, the customer is normally offered commissioning services (final assembly and configuration at a place designated by the customer), and this commissioning is therefore considered a second performance obligation and is valued at cost, with the addition of a standard gross margin. This second performance obligation is recognized as revenue at the time of the commissioning services being rendered together with the cost incurred. Part of the invoicing to the customer is also attributed to the commissioning, and at transfer of the control of the system (i.e., the first performance obligation), this portion is recognized as Contract liabilities.

Aftermarket sales represent parts, extended warranties and maintenance services. For the sale of aftermarket parts, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue when parts are shipped to the customer. When customers are given the right to return eligible parts and accessories, the Company estimates the expected returns based on an analysis of historical experience. The Company adjusts estimated revenues at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration expected to be received changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. The Company recognizes revenue for extended warranty and maintenance agreements based on the standalone selling price over the life of the contract.

The Company has received long-term contracts for grants from government entities for the development and use of silicon carbide membranes in various water filtration and treatment applications and historically in the installation of various water filtration systems. We measure the transfer of control of the performance obligation on long-term contracts utilizing the cost-to-cost measure of progress, with cost of revenue including direct costs such as labor and materials. Under the cost-to-cost approach, the use of estimated costs to complete each performance obligation is a significant variable in the process of determining recognized revenue and a significant factor in the accounting for such performance obligations. The timing of when we bill our customers is generally dependent upon advance billings terms, milestone billings based on completion of certain phases of the work, or when services are provided or products are shipped. Projects with performance obligations recognized over time that have costs and estimated earnings recognized to date in excess of cumulative billings are reported on our balance sheet as Contract assets. Projects with performance obligations recognized over time that have cumulative billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings recognized to date are reported on our balance sheet as Contract liabilities.

Contract assets represent the Company’s rights to consideration in exchange for goods or services and is recognized when a performance obligation has been satisfied but has not yet been billed. Contract liabilities are payments received from customers prior to satisfaction of performance obligations, and these balances are typically related to prepayments for third-party expenses that are incurred shortly after billing. Contract assets/liabilities are transferred to revenue and cost of goods sold when the right to consideration is unconditional and billed per the terms of the contractual agreement.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments -- The Company accounts for fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820. The authoritative guidance, which among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

● | Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
● | Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
● | Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, Senior Promissory Notes and Convertible Notes payable approximate their recorded values due to their short-term maturities.

Accounting Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets including accounts receivable; allowance for doubtful accounts; contract assets; reserve for excess and obsolete inventory; depreciation and impairment of property, plant and equipment; goodwill; liabilities including contract liabilities and contingencies; the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. The FASB is issuing this Update to increase the transparency of government assistance including the disclosure of (1) the types of assistance, (2) an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and (3) the effect of the assistance on an entity’s financial statements. The ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods after January 1, 2022. We are still assessing the impact of ASU 2021-10 on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts In An Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain convertible instruments by removing the separation models for convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and for convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share calculation for convertible instruments by requiring the use of the if-converted method. The treasury stock method is no longer available. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 using a modified retrospective approach.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. This ASU is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period and will be in effect for a limited time through December 31, 2022. Adoption is permitted at any time. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial statements.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern, however, the Company has incurred significant recent losses, which raises substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in executing the proposed cost reductions and revenue growth, thus achieving profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTE 3 – RESTRUCTURING COSTS

During the quarter, the Company completed a restructuring program to reduce costs, decrease operating losses and improve cash flow. Total restructuring and restructuring-related net charges pursuant to this program were $1,788,827, which were recorded separately in the income statement as “restructuring costs”, and allocated as follows:

CEO separation -- On May 10, 2022, the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Sune Mathiesen as Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, effective May 12, 2022. As previously announced, Mr. Mathiesen had been on a medical leave of absence since March 17, 2022. In connection with Mr. Mathiesen’s resignation, Mr. Mathiesen and the Company entered into a Separation Agreement and Release (the “Separation Agreement”). Under the Separation Agreement, Mr. Mathiesen received DKK1,605,000 (equivalent to $235,139), which is the equivalent of six months of salary, car allowance and pension contributions, in a lump-sum payment, less applicable deductions and withholdings.

Terminated employees – In the second quarter of 2022, the Company re-aligned its corporate management structure, which involved a reduction in headcount and labor costs of approximately 25%. The new organization reflects a focused effort to align key leaders with strategic imperatives, inspire greater accountability and performance management, eliminate silos and layers of middle management, and operate a leaner, more efficient business. Provisions for salary obligations to employees amounted to $164,673, reflecting the costs related to select employees released from duties with immediate effect. No provisions made for the employees working during the notice period.

China close-down – In the second quarter of 2022, the Company reduced and suspended planned capital investments, including the Company’s program to build a manufacturing and service center in China. Pursuant to the suspended plans, the Company terminated and settled agreements with consultants, select project employees, and domestic property development providers, resulting in a net payment of termination and cancellation charges of $286,807.

Capex commitments -- As part of efforts to balance future investments with expected demands and cash flow, the Company commenced the renegotiation of all material Capex commitments during the quarter, with the ambition to reduce, cancel, or delay deliveries under the contracts, which initially amounted to approximately $9,000,000. Substantial progress was made during the quarter. with expected closure of the renegotiation in the second half of 2022. As part of the renegotiation, a provision was made during the quarter of $668,606 regarding expected cancellation charges and contractual termination costs.

Write-downs -- The re-routing of production equipment and machinery to Denmark (originally planned for China), resulted in a write-down of $250,424 on legacy installed equipment and machinery that was decommissioned as part of the arrival and implementation of new and more efficient equipment. Furthermore, review of obsolete inventory and existing product offering resulted in a write-down of $183,179.

The Company’s restructuring costs are as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2022, of which 1,491,889 were settled during the quarter resulting in 296,938 remaining unsettled as of June 30, 2022:

The Closing occurred on April 8, 2021, and the Company issued to the Investor the securities in connection with the Closing.

The Note was a senior, unsecured obligation of the Company, payable at 112% of the principal amount at maturity ( October 1, 2023), or earlier upon redemption or repurchase as set forth in the Note. The Note was convertible into shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Note, in part or in whole, from time to time, at the election of the Investor.

The Note had interest payable quarterly beginning June 1, 2021, at a rate of 5% per annum. The number of shares issuable if the Company elects to pay interest in shares of Common Stock shall be based on the Market Price.

Beginning on March 1, 2022, and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter, at the election of the Investor or Holder, if applicable, the Company was required to redeem $840,000 of the amounts due under the Note in cash or Common Stock at 90% of the lesser of (i) the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the payment date and (ii) the average of the lowest three (3) VWAPs over the 10 trading days immediately preceding the payment date, which shall in no case be less than the floor price of $1.75 per share.

Senior Promissory Notes

On June 22, 2022, the Company issued and sold Senior Promissory Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $6.0 million (the "Notes") and issued warrants to purchase 4,250,000 shares of common stock of the Company to affiliates of Bleichroeder L.P., 21 April Fund, L.P., and 21 April Fund, Ltd. (together, the "Purchasers"), pursuant to a note and warrant purchase agreement entered into with the Purchasers.

The Notes have a term of 24 months and do not bear interest during this period. However, if the notes are not repaid on or before the second anniversary of issuance, the Notes will thereafter bear interest of 10% per annum, which will increase by 1% each month the Notes remain unpaid, up to a maximum of 16% per annum, payable monthly.

Additionally, as part of the transaction, the Company issued 230,000 warrants to the placement agent. All of the warrants issued in this transaction have an exercise price of $0.65 per share, a term of five years and are exercisable for cash at any time.

NOTE 8 - AGREEMENTS AND COMMITMENTS

Contingencies -- From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business.

On February 27, 2019, LiqTech was contacted by a former supplier alleging that the Company owed DKK 543,905 ($81,177) for services rendered in 2017. The claimant has previously filed a lawsuit to claim payment for the services, which was denied by the Company due to severe errors in the services rendered. The claim was settled out of court and the Company agreed to pay DKK 400,000 ($59,700) for full and final settlement during the period ending March 31, 2022.

The Company entered arbitration on March 31, 2022 regarding a commercial dispute related to the delivery of a water treatment system installed on a commercial power plant. The parties disagree on whether the supplied equipment performs according to the agreed performance criteria. The dispute also relates to equipment downtime and the use of additives to operate the equipment. The claim against LiqTech amounts to DKK 1,671,768 ($249,510) with the addition of interest. LiqTech is disputing the claim while having filed a counterclaim regarding unpaid invoices. The claim was settled out of court and the Company agreed to pay DKK 600,000 ($83,799), including decommissioning of the installed system, for full and final settlement during the period ending June 30, 2022.

Product Warranties - The Company provides a standard warranty for its systems, generally for a period of one to three years after customer acceptance. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its standard warranty programs and records a liability for such costs at the time product revenue is recognized.

In addition, the Company sells an extended warranty for certain systems, which generally provides a warranty for up to four years from the date of commissioning. The specific terms and conditions of the warranties vary depending upon the product sold and the country in which the installation occurred. Revenue received for the sale of extended warranty contracts is deferred and recognized in the same manner as the costs incurred to perform under the warranty contracts.

The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Factors that affect the warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and the cost per claim.

Changes in the Company's current and long-term warranty obligations included in accrued expenses on the balance sheet, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, were as follows:

|  | June 30, 2022 |  |  | December 31, 2021 |

Balance at the end of the period |  | $ | 932,592 |  |  | $ | 962,313 |

NOTE 9 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share is determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. For the periods where there is a net loss, stock options, warrants and Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Consequently, the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per common share is the same for the reported periods.

For the period ended June 30, 2022, the Company had 2,587,009 RSUs outstanding, 31,440,000 prefunded warrants and 4,480,000 warrants, both exercisable for shares of Common Stock outstanding.

The following table shows the amounts used in computing earnings per share and the weighted average number of shares of potentially dilutive Common Stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021:

Warrants

In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement entered in May 2020, we issued a prefunded warrant (“the Warrant”) to purchase an aggregate of 515,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $5.00 per share. Subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations, the Warrant is immediately exercisable and may be exercised for no additional consideration. The Warrant does not expire. A holder of the Warrant will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant if the holder, together with Affiliates and Attribution Parties (as such terms are defined in the Warrant), would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrant. Upon notice from the holder to the Company, however, the holder may decrease or increase the beneficial ownership limitation (but not above 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding).

On August 17, 2021, the Company entered an exchange agreement with an existing shareholder to exchange an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Common Stock for equivalent shares of prefunded warrants (the “Exchange Agreement”). The prefunded warrants will be exercisable at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, subject to adjustments as provided under the terms of the prefunded warrants. The prefunded warrants will be exercisable at any time on or after the closing date. The Exchange Agreement contained additional terms typical of exchange agreements including representations and warranties of the parties. In connection with and as of the date of the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued the prefunded warrants to the shareholder, and the prefunded warrants are exercisable on August 17, 2021, subject to the limitations on exercise and conditions set forth by the prefunded warrants. The prefunded warrants became subject to customary adjustments in the event of stock splits and dividends, fundamental transactions, and subsequent offerings of rights to purchase stock.

On May 17, 2022, the Company entered a warrant purchase agreement with existing shareholders to purchase 30,425,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $0.499 per prefunded warrant which represents the offering price of $0.50 per share of the Company’s common stock less the $0.001 per share exercise price for each pre-funded warrant for total gross proceeds of approximately $15,182,075 as part of the Company’s public offering of common stock and pre-funded warrants totaling $23,000,000 before underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company.

Our Strategy

Our strategy is to leverage our core competencies in material science, advanced filtration, and systems integration, creating differentiated products with compelling value propositions to penetrate attractive end markets with regulatory and ESG tailwinds. Essential imperatives associated with our strategy include the following:

| ● | Develop and reinforce new products and applications to provide clean water and reduce pollution. We currently provide water filtration systems for scrubber technology providers, shipowners, and ship operators as well as tailored filtration systems for oil & gas operators and services companies. We are expanding our range of products to better leverage existing customer relationships and develop new relationships within the oil & gas, marine, and global chemical industries.
| ● | Better penetrate existing end markets where our value proposition is strong. We have successfully sold products and installed systems into several end markets--including automotive/transportation, clean water and pool filtration, marine, industrial wastewater, and oil & gas. We are focused on targeting and activating new customers in these end markets while working with distributors, agents, and partners to access other important geographic markets.
| ● | Develop new end markets for our core products and applications. Our existing products and systems are relevant for and valuable to other end markets, and we regularly evaluate opportunities to partner with strategic customers to perfect new applications and validate associated value propositions.

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $5,018,292 compared to $4,016,563 for the same period in 2021, representing an increase of $1,001,729, or 25%. The increase was particularly attributed to an increase in sales of liquid filters and water treatment systems of $1,064,007, partly offset by a decrease in sales of development projects of $83,204. Sales of DPFs and Plastics components were comparable to the same period in 2021, reflecting stable activity amid volatile market conditions and more recently, geopolitical unrest and macroeconomic uncertainty impacting demand.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2022, was $148,140 compared to gross profit of $320,710 for the same period in 2021, representing a decrease of $172,570. The decrease in gross profit was mainly caused by reduced profitability in our Ceramics business driven by lower share of ceramic membranes, lost productivity linked to quality issues, and finally negative impact from rising input cost inflation associated with the production of our silicon carbide products, more specifically increased electricity and raw material prices, labor cost inflation, and general price increases on freight and logistic services. This was partly offset by an increase in system sales with deliveries in both the Middle East and Europe, coupled with elevated profitability from sales of plastics components, systems spare-parts, and general commission activities. Included in the gross profit was depreciation of $473,697 and $496,049 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Revenue

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was $8,655,528 compared to $8,014,440 for the same period in 2021, representing an increase of $641,088, or 8%. The increase was particularly attributed to an increase in sales of liquid filters and water treatment systems of $499,661, and engineered plastic products of $343,906, partly offset by lower share of completed development projects of $153,125 and Ceramics products of $49,355 due to lower share of direct membrane sales and the continued negative impact from the USD appreciation against the EURO and DKK.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was $393,681 compared to gross profit of $435,325 for the same period in 2021, representing a decrease of $41,644. The decrease in gross profit was mainly caused by reduced profitability from the Ceramics business due to unfavorable mix further exacerbated by continued input cost inflation and the negative impact from the USD appreciation, but also the delivery of a significant water treatment system at comparatively lower margin during the second quarter with subsequent service and commissioning revenue expected to elevate the full project margin. This was partly offset by continued resilient contribution from both the sale of plastics components, systems spare-parts, and general commission activities during the period. Included in the gross profit was depreciation of $969,746 and $967,055, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

The following is a summary of non-cash compensation:

The variance was mainly related to the Convertible including interest and cost related to the repayment with a combined expense of $1,968,152 compared to the same period in 2021. Further, the period was negatively impacted by loss on currency transactions of $266,209 compared to a gain in the same period last year of $287,988, due to a less favorable DKK/USD exchange rate, partly offset by the receipt of COVID-19 grants in the Danish entities.

Net Loss

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was $(10,253,483) compared to $(5,557,537) for the comparable period in 2021, representing an increase in net loss of $4,695,946.

This change was primarily attributable to the operating losses for the period, second quarter restructuring charges, and refinancing cost related to the repayment of the Convertible Note.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Based on the prolonged negative effects of the global pandemic, continued market volatility and geopolitical unrest pertaining to the Russia and Ukraine conflict, the Company is unable to predict the full impact this will have on our long-term financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and cash flows. The Company has planned and executed on decisive measures in the first half of 2022 to help safeguard the business and its financial position by reducing cost, headcount, and overall capex commitments, which together with the successful completion of the $26.45 million public offering of common stock and pre-funded warrants, substantially improves the near-term liquidity position of the Company.

Furthermore, in June the Company completed the refinancing of its $15 million Convertible Note due in 2023, partly funded by the issuance of the new $6 million Senior Promissory Notes due in June 2024 along with the proceeds from the public offering. The Senior Promissory Notes are interest-free, with full redemption after 24 months.

Based on current projections, which are subject to significant uncertainties, including the duration and severity of global macroeconomic issues, commodity volatility, and continued global supply chain disruptions, the Company believes the cash on hand, as well as ongoing cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to cover its capital requirements and committed investments for the next 12 months.

Continued market uncertainty and reduced order intake caused by global macroeconomic conditions, recession, or a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, could unfavorably impact the Company’s ability to generate positive cash flow and thereby significantly reduce the profitability and liquidity position.

While the Company anticipates that its proactive measures will be sufficient to protect and fund the business over the coming 12 months, the Company cannot predict the specific duration and severity of the unfavorable market dynamics that may adversely affect the business as a result of these global economic issues and associated supply chain disruptions. In the future, the Company may experience reduced or changed demand for its products and services, especially if there is global recession or structural shift in regulation or demand for its products across its core markets.

The Company has historically satisfied its capital and liquidity requirements through offerings of equity instruments, internally generated cash from operations and our available lines of credit. On June 30, 2022, the Company had cash of $19,695,722 and net working capital of $25,884,809, and on December 31, 2021, the Company had cash of $17,489,380 and net working capital of $11,199,258. The increase in working capital of $14,685,551 compared to December 31, 2021 is mainly a result of the capital raise and repayment of the Convertible Note.

In connection with certain orders, we provide the customer a working guarantee, a prepayment guarantee or a security bond. For that purpose, we maintain a guaranteed credit line of EUR1,750,000 (approximately $1,820,000). The credit line is secured by a cash deposit.

Convertible Note

On March 24, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an institutional investor pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell a $15.0 million principal amount senior Convertible Note (the “Note”) due on October 1, 2023 and 80,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $15.0 million upon the satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Closing occurred on April 8, 2021, and the Company issued to the Investor the securities in connection with the Closing.

The Note is a senior, unsecured obligation of the Company, payable at 112% of the principal amount at maturity (October 1, 2023) or earlier upon redemption or repurchase as set forth in the Note. The Note is convertible into shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Note, in part or in whole, from time to time, at the election of the Investor. The initial conversion rate is 100.6749 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 of principal amount of the Note. The conversion rate is subject to anti-dilution adjustments including for stock dividends, splits and combinations; issuances of options, warrants or similar rights; spin-offs and distributions of property; cash dividends or distributions; and tender or exchange offers, in each case as further described in and pursuant to the terms of the Note.

The Note has interest payable quarterly beginning on June 1, 2021 at a rate of 5% per annum. The number of shares issuable if the Company elects to pay interest in shares of Common Stock shall be based on the Market Price.

The Company may provide written notice to the Holder electing to convert the entire Principal Amount of the Note if (1) the Daily VWAP per share of Common Stock exceeds one hundred and seventy-five percent (175%) of the Conversion Price on each of twelve (12) consecutive VWAP Trading Days beginning after September 24, 2021; and (2) the Equity Conditions are satisfied on each of such twelve (12) consecutive VWAP Trading Days.

Beginning on March 1, 2022, and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter, at the election of the Investor or Holder, if applicable, the Company shall be required to redeem $840,000 of the amounts due under the Note in cash or Common Stock at 90% of the lesser of (i) the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the payment date and (ii) the average of the lowest three (3) VWAPs over the 10 trading days immediately preceding the payment date, which shall in no case be less than the floor price of $1.75 per share. On March 1, 2022, the Company paid the first installment of $840,000 in cash.

As of June 22, 2022, the Note, including accrued interests and all relevant obligations, was repaid in full, amounting to $13,446,875, allocated to principal repayment of $11,640,000 and contractual repayment premium of $1,806,875. During the quarter, the Company paid the second, third, and fourth installment, totaling $2,520,000, in cash according to the original payment schedule.

Senior Promissory Notes

On June 22, 2022, the Company issued and sold Senior Promissory Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $6.0 million (the "Notes") and issued warrants to purchase 4,250,000 shares of common stock of the Company to affiliates of Bleichroeder L.P., 21 April Fund, L.P., and 21 April Fund, Ltd. (together, the "Purchasers"), pursuant to a note and warrant purchase agreement entered into with the Purchasers.

The Notes have a term of 24 months and do not bear interest during this period. If the notes are not repaid on or before the second anniversary of issuance, however, the Notes will thereafter bear interest of 10% per annum, which will increase by 1% each month the Notes remain unpaid, up to a maximum of 16% per annum, payable monthly.

Additionally, as part of the transaction, the Company issued 230,000 warrants to the placement agent. All of the warrants issued in this transaction have an exercise price of $0.65 per share, a term of five years and are exercisable for cash at any time.

As a result, the Company recorded an initial debt discount of $664,704 based on the relative fair value of the warrants and notes issued. The Company determined the fair value of the warrants by using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: expected term of 2.5 years, stock price of $0.43, exercise price of $0.65, volatility of 80.8%, risk-free rate of 3.13%, and no forfeiture rate. The debt discount will be accreted according to the effective interest method over the contractual term of the note. The warrants qualified for equity classification and were reported within Additional Paid-In Capital.

Net cash used in investing activities of $229,204 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $717,232 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, representing a decrease of $488,028 due to limited delivery of production equipment during the quarter, with investments confined to the purchase of production equipment in Ballerup to relieve manufacturing bottlenecks and the continued investment in the new ERP platform, for which full implementation is anticipated in Q3 2022.

Cash provided from financing activities was $13,473,839 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $14,090,829 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, representing a decrease of $616,990.

Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates

The methods, estimates, and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that we report in our consolidated financial statements. Some of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. Our most critical accounting estimates include:

● | The assessment of revenue recognition, which impacts revenue and cost of sales;
● | the assessment of allowance for product warranties, which impacts gross profit;
● | the assessment of collectability of Accounts receivable, which impacts operating expenses when and if we record bad debt or adjust the allowance for doubtful accounts;
● | the assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets, which impacts gross profit or operating expenses when and if we record asset impairments or accelerate their depreciation;
● | the recognition and measurement of current and deferred income taxes (including the measurement of uncertain tax positions), which impact our provision for taxes;
● | the valuation of inventory, which impacts gross profit; and
● | the recognition and measurement of loss contingencies, which impact gross profit or operating expenses when we recognize a loss contingency, revise the estimate for a loss contingency, or record an asset impairment.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are not required to provide quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk because we are a smaller reporting company.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of our Interim Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the design and effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) and (c) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. A weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a misstatement of the registrant's financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Based upon that evaluation, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022 were not effective as of the period covered by this Quarterly Report due to material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting. For more information on material weaknesses identified by management, please reference our Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2022 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management's Remediation Initiatives

In response to the identified material weaknesses, Company management, with oversight from the Company’s Audit Committee, has been and will continue to dedicate necessary resources to enhance the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and remediate the identified material weaknesses. As an example of such remediation, the Company has hired additional employees into the finance department, and we plan to continue to work on remediating the material weaknesses during 2022 by improving competencies and work processes. Further, an investment in a new ERP system has been made along with other supporting IT systems to reinforce the controls and processes of the Company. These investments are an important part of our remediation plan. Lastly, the Company has started the process of redesigning and ensuring documentation of all processes and procedures related to financial reporting to ensure the effective design and operation of process-level controls.

While management believes that the steps that have been taken and plan to take will improve the overall system of internal control over financial reporting and will remediate the identified material weaknesses, these material weaknesses cannot be considered fully remediated until the applicable relevant controls operate for a sufficient period of time.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

An internal 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 the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

While management believes that the steps that we have taken and plan to take will improve the overall system of internal control over financial reporting and will remediate identified material weaknesses, the material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable relevant controls operate for a sufficient period.
