Forward Looking Statements
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, any of which may cause our company’s or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks include, by way of example and not in limitation:
This list is not an exhaustive list of the factors that may affect any of our forward-looking statements. These and other factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.
Forward looking statements are made based on management’s beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made and we undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances should change. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are stated in United States dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim period ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the full year.
In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common stock” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.

Alkame Holding, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
1. | Organization and Nature of Operations |
Alkame Holdings, Inc. (fka Pinacle Enterprise Inc.) (the "Company", “we”, “us” or “our”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 19, 2010. The Company is in the business of distributing bottled/canned alkaline, antioxidant and oxygenated water.
On June 24, 2013, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Alkame Water, Inc. (“Alkame”) and the shareholders of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Alkame. On June 25, 2013, the Company acquired 100% of the members’ shares of Alkame, a Company incorporated in the state of Nevada on March 1, 2012, in exchange for 150,000,000 common shares, comprised of 116,666,667 common shares privately transacted from the President of Company and the issuance of 33,333,333 common shares to shareholders of Alkame. Effectively, Alkame held 71% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company and the transaction has been accounted for as a reverse merger, where Alkame is deemed to be the acquirer and or the surviving entity for accounting purposes.
As part of the acquisition transaction, all assets and liabilities of Alkame Holdings, Inc. at the date of acquisition were assumed by the former management.
The transaction is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. As a result of the recapitalization and change in control, Alkame is the acquiring entity in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the historical financial statements are those of Alkame, the accounting acquirer, immediately following the consummation of the reverse merger.
The Company ceased to be a Development Stage Company during the year ended December 31, 2013.
As a result of the exchange transaction, our board of directors decided to change our fiscal yearend from January 31 to December 31.
2. | Going Concern |
These accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company has recognized only $105,676 in revenue and as of September 30, 2014 had an accumulated deficit of $7,183,920. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, and its ability to identify future investment opportunities and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing, and generating profitable operations from the Company’s future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
3. | Basis of Presentation |
These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any interim period or an entire year. The Company applies the same accounting policies and methods in its interim financial statements as those in the most recent audited annual financial statements. The financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in the Company’s filing on Form 10-K.
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and are expressed in U.S. dollars. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

4. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
a) Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes demand deposits, saving accounts and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
c) Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Such securities, shown below, presented on a common share equivalent basis and outstanding as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 have been excluded from the per share computations:
As of | |||||||
September 30, 2014 | September 30, 2013 | ||||||
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock | 600,000,000 | 600,000,000 | |||||
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock | 65,210,834 | — | |||||
Convertible notes payable | 5,862,185 | — |

d) Financial Instruments
Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company did not have any Level 2 or Level 3 assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2014, with the exception of its convertible notes payable. The carrying amounts of these liabilities at September 30, 2014 approximate their respective fair value based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.
Cash is considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable as of September 30, 2014 and therefore classified as Level 1 within our fair value hierarchy.
In addition, FASB ASC 825-10-25 Fair Value Option, or ASC 825-10-25, was effective for January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10-25 expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value options for any of its qualifying financial instruments
e) Convertible Instruments
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with professional standards for “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.
Professional standards generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of “Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument”.
The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards when “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features,” as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.
ASC 815-40 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’s control could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.
9 |
f) Derivative Liabilities
The Company assessed the classification of its derivative financial instruments as of September 30, 2014, which consist of convertible instruments and rights to shares of the Company’s common stock, and determined that such derivatives meet the criteria for liability classification under ASC 815.
ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as described.
g) Income Taxes
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes” as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in this financial statement because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
h) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered.. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard.
The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supercedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2017 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard and it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In August 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for each annual and interim reporting period. If substantial doubt exists, additional disclosure is required. This new standard will be effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt this new standard for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014 and the Company will continue to assess the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

i) Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue in accordance with ASC-605, “Revenue Recognition,” which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or title has passed; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts.
Revenues are recognized upon shipment, provided that a signed purchase order has been received, the price is fixed, title has transferred, collection of resulting receivables is reasonably assured, and there are no remaining significant obligations. Reserves for sales returns and allowances, including allowances for so called “ship and debit” transactions, are recorded at the time of shipment, based on historical levels of returns and discounts, current economic trends and changes in customer demand. Certain Internet generated transactions that are prepaid at time of order, are recognized at the time the merchandise ships from the warehouse to the customer.
Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company will defer any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.

8. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

11. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Litigation
a) In April 2014, the Company was notified that a note holder disputes the balance of his note as recorded on the books of the Company. The discrepancy arises from a question regarding expenses that the holder claims were paid on behalf of the Company and subsequent payments that the Company recorded as payments against the note. The Company has no record of the expenses claimed to be due, and is in negotiations to settle this matter. The Company has accrued $28,000 to cover the potential expenses and adjustments to accrued interest if the claim is substantiated. The Company believes it has properly accounted for all payments made to the individual and has provided documentation to him substantiating its position.
b) In May 2014, the Company received notice that a complaint was filed in District Court, Clark County, NV alleging that the Company and various unnamed defendants are liable to a Mr. Renard Wiggins with regard to commissions and equity purportedly owed Mr. Wiggins, for services allegedly rendered in raising capital on behalf of the Company prior to the reverse merger between Alkame Holdings, Inc. (fka Pinacle Enterprises Inc.) and Alkame Water, Inc. in June 2013. After initial review, the Company has filed for a dismissal of the case with the District Court, does not believe there is any validity to the claims of Mr. Wiggins, and intends to vigorously continue defending against these claims. To date, all but two claims have been dismissed, and the Company is in court mandated settlement talks to determine if the remaining counts can be dismissed or will require further litigation.
Material Agreements
On April 21, 2014, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Definitive Agreement with Xtreme Technologies, Inc., an Idaho corporation. In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, the Company will purchase all of the outstanding shares of Xtreme for the purchase price of $2,000,000.00, payable as follows:
· | A cash payment of $50,000 has been previously paid as a non-refundable deposit; |
· | An additional cash payment of $525,000 shall be paid on or before the Closing Date (defined below), which, along with the initial $50,000 deposit, shall pay the obligations on Xtreme’s balance sheet; |
· | The balance of $1,425,000.00 shall be payable by the issuance of shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock with a stated value of $1.00 per share to be divided pro rata among the Company’s shareholders of record as of the Closing Date. The Series C Preferred Stock shall include an option to convert such shares of Series C Preferred Stock into the Company’s Common Stock at the closing price of the Company’s common stock, as quoted on the OTCQB; and |
· | One of Xtreme’s previous officers and directors holds outstanding options to purchase up to 1,009,000 shares of Xtreme’s common stock at the price of $0.10 per share. At the Closing Date, pursuant to Idaho law, Xtreme shall notify this previous officer and director of his 30-day right to exercise any or all of his remaining options. If he elects to exercise any of his options within such 30-day period, the Company agrees to issue additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock in exchange for such Xtreme shares. |
This potential acquisition remains subject to, among other things, completing customary pre-closing due diligence, Xtreme’s shareholder approval and entering into a definitive agreement. The Company originally expected the definitive agreement to be signed by all parties on or before the end of January 31, 2014. The Company has still not signed the agreement but expect to in the coming months. The Company in September 2014 paid a non-refundable $50,000 deposit to maintain the commitment while final terms are resolved. There can be no assurance that any transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

We have evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and did not have any material recognizable subsequent events, other than the following:
On October 17, 2014, the Company entered into a two year convertible debenture for $33,000 with an accredited institutional investor. The debenture is convertible at the lesser of $0.15 per share or 60% of the lowest trading price in the 25 trading days prior to the conversion.
On October 26, 2014, the Company acquired all 100% of the outstanding shares of High Country Shrimp Company (“HCS”), a Colorado LLC in exchange for one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of the Company’s Common Stock. It is expected that HCS will incorporate their patented technology for producing and selling high quality shrimp with the Company’s unique water treatment systems to create an intensive indoor aquaculture farming process.
On October 29, 2014, the Company entered into a one year convertible debenture in the face amount $55,000 with an accredited institutional investor. The debenture is convertible at the lesser of $0.10 per share, or 60% of the lowest trade price in the 25 trading days prior to conversion. The note was issued with an original issue discount of $5,000 which will be charged to current period operations in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
Overview
Alkame Holdings, Inc. fka Pinacle Enterprise Inc. (the "Company", “we”, “us” or “our”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 19, 2010. The Company is in the business of distributing bottled/canned alkaline, antioxidant and oxygenated water.
The Company ceased to be a Development Stage Company during the year ended December 31, 2013.
We currently hold a three year limited exclusive distribution agreement for the consumer market. We are permitted to distribute our technologically enhanced bottled water in the consumer market in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Aside from holding the aforementioned distribution rights, we signed a non-binding Letter of Intent with Xtreme Technologies, Inc. (“Xtreme”) to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Xtreme, which would effectively acquire the patents on the proprietary process that we believe is the most technologically advanced in water treatment systems for complete hydration. The proposed consideration for the potential acquisition will be payable as approximately $575,000 in cash or assumed debt and approximately $1,425,000 in our common stock.
This potential acquisition remains subject to, among other things, completing customary pre-closing due diligence, Xtreme’s shareholder approval and entering into a definitive agreement. We originally expected the definitive agreement to be signed by all parties on or before the end of January 31, 2014. In September 2014, we paid a non-refundable $50,000 deposit to maintain the commitment while final terms are resolved. We have still not signed the agreement but expect to in the coming months. There can be no assurance that any transaction will be completed as proposed or at all. The Company in September 2014 paid a non-refundable $50,000 deposit to maintain the commitment while final terms are resolved. There can be no assurance that any transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.
Our primary objective is to acquire the patented technology underlying our brand, and then to introduce, promote, aggressively market and establish channels of distribution to sell our product to a wide range of consumers, first in the United States, Canada and Mexico, and then globally. If we are able to acquire the rights to the technology, we believe that all the prime characteristics of the hottest premium bottled waters in the market will be taken and rolled up into our product.
We believe that holding the patents will enable us to enhance our position in the investment community, allow us to expand our reach in the distribution of product, and provide us access to other applications the water treatment technology has available. There is no assurance, however, that we will be able to finalize an agreement with Xtreme, the owner of the patents. We hope to have more information in subsequent filings.

Sales and Marketing
Our primary focus will be on exposing the product and building brand name recognition and technology awareness through Alkame’s utilization of celebrity and athletic endorsements, feature film and television product placement, cross-marketing and co-branding, and via sponsorships of key existing and potential clients (mostly in the health & wellness fields and athletic markets). A special and unique emphasis will be placed on the music, nightlife industries, and extreme sports to build on its cool factor.
Although these techniques do not directly translate into sales and distribution, the utilization of mass media provides our sales teams with the most essential marketing and sales tools and support needed to move product to distributors, as well as drive it through three main channels of on-premise, off-premise, and special events.
In the first nine months of this year, we focused our efforts on sales through regional sales personnel and distributors. This approach will continue through the remainder of the current year with the expectation that we will continue to see rapid sales growth of the water products.
In addition, we are exploring other uses of our water so that we can diversify our portfolio of products to include other specialty uses outside of the bottled water and health water markets.
As part of this strategy on October 26, 2014, we acquired all 100% of the outstanding shares of High Country Shrimp Company (“HCS”), a Colorado LLC in exchange for one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of the Company’s Common Stock. It is expected that HCS will incorporate their patented technology for producing and selling high quality shrimp with our unique water treatment systems to create an intensive indoor aquaculture farming process.
Additional information about our water and its unique qualities can be found in our 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Results of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.
Operating Revenues
In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we generated $6,665 and $105,676 in revenue, respectively, from the sales of our water products, compared with $17,274 for the same periods ended September 30, 2013. We expect that over the coming months, our sales and marketing efforts will result in significantly increasing sales.
Cost of Goods Sold
In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred $33,717 and $129,340, respectively, as cost of goods sold, compared with $73,529 for the same periods ended September 30, 2013. We expect that over the coming months, our cost of goods sold will increase as a result in significantly increasing sales.
Operating Expenses and Net Loss
Our operating expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are outlined in the table below:

Operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $354,005 and $906,062, respectively, as compared with $200,608 and $3,798,436, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is attributed to a reduction in stock that was issued in exchange for services during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This accounted for an approximate $3.2 million decrease in the current periods operating activity compared to the prior period, and an increase of approximately $250,000 in selling and travel related expenses connected with our growing sales efforts, and an increase of $47,132 in professional fees for legal, accounting, and audit services required for SEC filing requirements.
In addition to operating expenses, we incurred interest expenses of $1,032,993 and $1,073,546 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared with $8,104 and $17,578, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 is primarily attributable to $1,001,280 non-cash interest expense upon issuance of convertible notes. Additionally, the Company had a gain of $374,363 as a result of the change in fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments and amortization of debt discount of $46,845 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 as a result of the change in fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments with no comparable amount in the 2013 period.
In addition to interest expenses, we incurred $621,429 in a derivative liability adjustment for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 that was not experienced in the same period ended September 30, 2013. These expenses are in connection with the variable conversion rates associated with convertible debentures entered into the most recent quarter. These adjustments will be made quarterly while the debentures remain outstanding.
We incurred a net loss of $1,105,081 and $1,710,552 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared with a net loss of $264,967 and $3,872,269, respectively for the same periods ended 2013.

At September 30, 2014, our cash balance was $161,709 compared to $128,258 as at December 31, 2013. The increase in cash is attributed to proceeds of $100,000 in notes payable and $346,750 from the issuance of convertible notes payable all of which were used to pay operating expenses, note payments of $7,000 to a shareholder, purchases of inventory, an additional deposit on our previously announced acquisition with the remaining amounts unspent.
At September 30, 2014, we had total liabilities of $2,313,081 compared with total liabilities of $906,028 as at December 31, 2013. The increase in total liabilities is attributed to derivative liabilities of $973,667 not experienced in the prior year period, and increases in notes payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and accrued interest over the prior year period.
As at September 30, 2014, we had a working capital deficit of $1,495,872 compared with a working capital surplus of $657,691 at December 31, 2013. The decrease in the working capital is attributed to the consumption of various services prepaid by the issuance of restricted stock, losses incurred in ramping up our production, the recording of approximately $973,667 in derivative liabilities, and an increase in accrued expenses.

Cash flow from Operating Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we used $309,881 of cash in operating activities compared to the use of $469,732 of cash for operating activities during the period ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in the use of cash for operating activities was mainly attributed to our net loss of $1,710,552, offset mainly by $1,001,280 for non-cash interest expense upon issuance of convertible notes, $472,000 for prepaid assets amortized during the period and amortization of debt discount of $46,845and an increase of $228,773 in accounts payable and accrued expenses offset with gain on change in fair value of derivative liability of $374,363 and increase in accounts receivable by $69,801.

Cash flow from Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we received net proceeds of $400,500 from financing activities compared to $723,817 during the period ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in proceeds from financing activities were attributed to $100,000 from the issuance of notes payable which are unsecured, bear interest at 10% per annum, less payment of financing cost of $39,250 and $7,000 repayment for an outstanding note payable issued in this year plus the issuance of $346,750 of convertible debentures versus the net proceeds of notes in the gross amount of $760,000 in the same period in the prior year.
Going Concern
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited consolidated financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our operations and other activities.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and we do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not Applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2014. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
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. Management has identified the following material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of September 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.
Remediation Plan to Address the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our company plans to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending December 31, 2014: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
We are unable to remedy our controls related to the inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management until we receive financing to hire additional employees.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION
a) In April 2014, the Company was notified that a note holder disputes the balance of his note as recorded on the books of the Company. The discrepancy arises from a question regarding expenses that the holder claims were paid on behalf of the Company and subsequent payments that the Company recorded as payments against the note. The Company has no record of the expenses claimed to be due, and is in negotiations to settle this matter. The Company has accrued $28,000 to cover the potential expenses and adjustments to accrued interest if the claim is substantiated. The Company believes it has properly accounted for all payments made to the individual and has provided documentation to him substantiating its position.
b) In May 2014, the Company received notice that a complaint was filed in District Court, Clark County, NV alleging that the Company and various unnamed defendants are liable to a Mr. Renard Wiggins with regard to commissions and equity purportedly owed Mr. Wiggins, for services allegedly rendered in raising capital on behalf of the Company prior to the reverse merger between Pinacle Enterprises Inc. (now Alkame Holdings, Inc.) and Alkame Water, Inc. in September 2013. After initial review, the Company has filed for a dismissal of the case with the District Court, does not believe there is any validity to the claims of Mr. Wiggins, and intends to vigorously continue defending against these claims. To date, all but two claims have been dismissed, and the Company is in court mandated settlement talks to determine if the remaining counts can be dismissed or will require further litigation.
Not Applicable.
