WATERCHEF, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Water Chef, Inc. (the "Company"), is a Delaware corporation currently engaged in
the design and marketing of water dispensers and purification equipment both
inside and outside the United States. The Company's corporate headquarters are
located in Glen Head, New York.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly, these
interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes
required for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to
make the financial statements not misleading have been included.
The operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2005. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB, filed on April 6, 2005, for the year ended December 31,
2004.
DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
The Company is in the development stage as defined by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") Statement No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting for
Development Stage Companies." To date, the Company has generated limited sales
and has devoted its efforts primarily to developing its products, implementing
its business and marketing strategy and raising working capital through equity
financing or short-term borrowings.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes its revenues when the product is shipped and or title
passes and collection is reasonably assured.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure -
an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of
transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting
for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the
disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both
annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for
stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported
results. The Company will continue to account for stock-based compensation
according to the Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25.
The following table summarizes relevant information as to reported results under
the Company's intrinsic value method of accounting for stock awards, with
supplemental information as if the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS
No.123 had been applied for the periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 as follows:

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying interim condensed financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has
incurred recurring losses from operations, an accumulated deficit since
inception of approximately $23,849,000 and has a working capital deficiency of
approximately $2,839,000 at June 30, 2005. These conditions raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's
plans with respect to these matters include restructuring its existing debt,
settling its existing debt by issuing shares of its common stock and raising
additional capital through future issuance of stock and or debentures. However,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient
funds to continue the development of its product, marketing plan and
distribution network.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4 - RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154--Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections--a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. This
statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes," and FASB Statement
No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements," and
changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in
accounting principle. This statement applies to all voluntary changes in
accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting
pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include
specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific
transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. This statement is
effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2005. Management is evaluating the impact of this
pronouncement on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share Based Payment." This
statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees," and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No.123R addresses all
forms of share based payment ("SBP") awards including shares issued under
employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock
appreciation rights. Under SFAS No.123R, SBP awards result in a cost that will
be measured at fair value on the awards' grant dates, based on the estimated
number of awards that are expected to vest. This statement is effective for
public entities that file as small business issuers - as of the beginning of the
first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005.
The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on
the Company's financial statements.
NOTE 5 - NET LOSS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
Basic loss per share was computed using the weighted average number of
outstanding common shares. Diluted loss per share includes the effect of
dilutive common stock equivalents from the assumed exercise of options, warrants
and convertible preferred stock. Common stock equivalents were excluded in the
computation of diluted loss per share since their inclusion would be
anti-dilutive. Total shares issuable upon the exercise of options, warrants and
conversion of preferred stock for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004
were 30,638,912 and 46,863,796, respectively.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the Company's
Financial Statements and related Footnotes.
Forward-Looking Statements
--------------------------
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations and other sections of this Report contain "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We
intend for the forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor
provisions for forward-looking statements in these sections. All statements
regarding the Company's expected financial position, business and financing
plans are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are
identified by use of forward-looking words such as "anticipates," "believes,"
"plans," "estimates," "expects," and "intends" or words or phrases of similar
expression. These forward-looking statements are subject to various assumptions,
risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, changes in political and
economic conditions, demand for the Company's products, acceptance of new
products, technology developments affecting the Company's products and to those
discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by
the forward-looking statements.
Introduction
------------
Until the fourth quarter of 2001, Water Chef was engaged in the manufacture and
marketing of water coolers and water purification and filtration products. In
the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company completed the sale of this business in
order to focus its activities on its PureSafe line of business. The PureSafe
Water Station has been designed by the Company to meet the needs of communities
which either do not have access to municipal water treatment systems, or for
those which systems have been compromised, either by environmental factors or by
faulty design or maintenance.
Results of Operations
---------------------
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004 was $260,000
and $56,290, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the
Company recognized the sale of five PureSafe Water Station Systems. Four of
these systems are to be used in Ecuador, and the fifth system was purchased by a
humanitarian buyer to be used as part of the tsunami relief effort in Sri Lanka.
In addition, Water Chef received deposits of $115,000 during the first three
months of 2005 for relief effort systems that will be shipped in 2005.
Cost of sales for the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004
were $21,000 and $53,250 respectively. The costs of the units sold during 2005
were previously written off. An analysis of the components of cost of sales in
the 2005 and 2004 periods follows:
Cost of Sales Product Rent and Overhead
Period CGS Payments to Manufacturer Total
For the six months
ended June 30, 2005 $ -- $ 21,000 $ 21,000
For the six months
ended June 30, 2004 $13,250 $ 40,000 $ 53,250
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30,
2005 were $645,206, compared to $556,680 for the six months ended June 30, 2004,
an increase of 16% primarily caused by an increase in commissions associated
with the sales of PureSafe Water Station Systems as described above. During the
quarter ended June 30, 2005, the Company extended the life of 1,666,667 warrants
for a period of 12 months. Their warrants will expire in June 2006. The Company
recorded a finance charge of $74,700 for the three and six months ended June 30,
2005.
The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $434,680 compared to
$2,812,761 in the same period ended June 30, 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
At June 30, 2005, the Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately
$2,839,000. In addition, the Company continues to incur recurring losses from
operations and has an accumulated deficit since inception of approximately
$23,849,000. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
that that the Company will continue as a going concern. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans with respect to these matters include restructuring its
existing debt, raising additional capital through future issuances of stock
and/or equity, and finding sufficient profitable markets for its products to
generate sufficient cash to meet its business obligations. However, there can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient funds to
continue the development of its product, marketing plan and distribution
network.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Recent Accounting Standards
---------------------------
In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 154--"Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections"--a replacement of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No.
20 and SFAS No. 3. This statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, "Accounting
Changes", and FASB Statement No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim
Financial Statements," and changes the requirements for the accounting for and
reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement applies to all
voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required
by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement
does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes
specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. This
statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Management is evaluating the
impact of this pronouncement on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share Based Payment." This
statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees," and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No.123R addresses all
forms of share based payment ("SBP") awards including shares issued under
employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock
appreciation rights. Under SFAS No.123R, SBP awards result in a cost that will
be measured at fair value on the awards' grant dates, based on the estimated
number of awards that are expected to vest. This statement is effective for
public entities that file as small business issuers - as of the beginning of the
first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005.
The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on
the Company's financial statements.
ITEM 3 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation and Disclosure Controls and Procedures
-------------------------------------------------
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rules
13a-15e promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of
this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to
provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the
Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC
rules and forms.
Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties at the Company
due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and
financial matters. This constitutes a material weakness in the financial
reporting. However, at this time management has decided that considering the
employees involved and the control procedures in place, the risks associated
with such lack of segregation are insignificant and the potential benefits of
adding additional employees to clearly segregate duties do not justify the
expenses associated with such increases. Management will periodically reevaluate
this situation. If the volume of the business increases and sufficient capital
is secured, it is the Company's intention to increase staffing to mitigate the
current lack of segregation of duties within the general administrative and
financial functions.
Changes in Internal Controls
----------------------------
There have been no changes in internal controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation,
including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and
material weaknesses.
10
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
--------------------------------------------
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system
are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, within a Company have been detected.

WATER CHEF, INC.
(A Development Stage Company Commencing January 1, 2002)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Water Chef, Inc. (the "Company"), is a Delaware corporation currently engaged in
the design and marketing of water dispensers and purification equipment both
inside and outside the United States. The Company's corporate headquarters are
located in Glen Head, New York.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICES
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial
statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for
annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to make the
financial statements not misleading have been included.
The operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2005. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB, filed on April 6, 2005, for the year ended December 31,
2004.
DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
The Company is in the development stage as defined by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") Statement No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting for
Development Stage Companies." To date, the Company has generated limited sales
and has devoted its efforts primarily to developing its products, implementing
its business and marketing strategy and raising working capital through equity
financing or short-term borrowings.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes its revenue when products are shipped and collection is
reasonably assured.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 123." SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a
voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and
interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The
Company will continue to account for stock-based compensation according to
Accounting Pronouncement Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25.
The following table summarizes relevant information as to reported results under
the Company's intrinsic value method of accounting for stock awards, with
supplemental information as if the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No.
123 had been applied for the periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 as
follows:

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring
losses from operations, an accumulated deficit since its inception of
approximately $24,183,000 and has a working capital deficiency of approximately
$2,976,000 at September 30, 2005. These conditions raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans with
respect to these matters include restructuring its existing debt, settling its
existing debt by issuing shares of its common stock and raising additional
capital through future issuance of stock and or debentures. However, there can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient funds to
continue the development of its product, marketing plan and distribution
network.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4 - RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154 - Accounting Change and Error Corrections
- a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. This statement
replaces APB Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes," and FASB Statement No. 3,
"Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements," and changes the
requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting
principle. This statement applies to changes required by an accounting
pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include
specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific
transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. This statement is
effective for accounting changes and corrects errors made in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2005. Management is evaluatiOnG the impact of this
pronouncement on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share Based Payment." This
statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees," and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R addresses all
forms of share based payment ("SBP") awards including shares issued under
employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock
appreciation rights. Under SFAS No. 123R, SBP awards result in a cost that will
be measured at fair value on the awards' grant dates, based on the estimated
number of awards that are expected to vest. This statement is effective for
public entities that file as small business issuers - as of the beginning of the
first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005.
The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on
the Company's financial statements
NOTE 5 - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
Basic loss per share was computed using the weighted average number of
outstanding common shares. Diluted loss per share includes the effect of
dilutive common stock equivalents from the assumed exercise of options, warrants
and convertible preferred stock. Common stock equivalents were excluded in the
computation of diluted loss per share since their inclusion would be
anti-dilutive. Total shares issuable upon the exercise of options, warrants and
conversion of preferred stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and
2004 were 17,256,233 and 37,555,044, respectively.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the Company's
financial statements and related footnotes.
Forward-Looking Statements
--------------------------
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations and other sections of this Report contain "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"). We intend for the forward-looking statements to be covered by
the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in these sections. All
statements regarding the Company's expected financial position, business and
financing plans are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements
are identified by use of forward-looking words such as "anticipates,"
"believes," "plans," "estimates," "expects," and "intends" or words or phrases
of similar expression. These forward-looking statements are subject to various
assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, changes in
political and economic conditions, demand for the Company's products, acceptance
of new products, technology developments affecting the Company's products and to
those discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those
contemplated by the forward-looking statements.
Introduction
------------
Until the fourth quarter of 2001, Water Chef was engaged in the manufacture and
marketing of water coolers and water purification and filtration products. In
the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company completed the sale of this business in
order to focus its activities on its PureSafe line of business. The PureSafe
Water Station has been designed by the Company to meet the needs of communities
who either do not have access to municipal water treatment systems, or for those
whose systems have been compromised, either by environmental factors or by
faulty design or maintenance.
Results of Operations
---------------------
Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 were
$260,000 and $56,290 respectively. During the nine months ended September 30,
2005, the Company recognized the sale of five PureSafe Water Station Systems.
Four of these systems were purchased for use in Ecuador, and the fifth system
was purchased by a humanitarian buyer to be used as part of the tsunami relief
effort in Sri Lanka. In addition, Water Chef received deposits of $115,000
during the first three months of 2005 for relief effort systems that will be
shipped in 2005.
Cost of sales for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were
$42,000 and $77,250 respectively. The cost of the units sold during 2005 was
previously written off. An analysis of the components of cost of sales in the
2005 and 2004 periods follows:
Cost of Sales Product Rent and Overhead
Period CGS Payments to Manufacturer Total
For the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 $ -- $ 42,000 $ 42,000
For the nine month ended
September 30, 2004 $ 13,250 $ 64,000 $ 77,250
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September
30, 2005 were $920,505, compared to $985,037 for the nine months ended September
30, 2004, a decrease of 7%.
The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $768,161 compared
to $3,302,675 in the same period ended September 30, 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
At September 30, 2005, the Company had a working capital deficiency of
approximately $2,976,000. In addition, the Company continues to suffer recurring
losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit since inception of
approximately $24,183,000. The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared assuming that that the Company will continue as a going concern. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. Management's plans with respect to these matters include
restructuring its existing debt, raising additional capital through future
issuances of stock and/or equity, and finding sufficient profitable markets for
its products to generate sufficient cash to meet its business obligations.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain
sufficient funds to continue the development of its product, marketing plan and
distribution network.
The accompanying condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.
Recent Accounting Standards
---------------------------
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154 - Accounting Change and Error Corrections
- a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. This statement
replaces APB Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes," and FASB Statement No. 3,
"Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements," and changes the
requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting
principle. This statement applies to changes required by an accounting
pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include
specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific
transition provision, those provisions should be followed. This statement is
effective for accounting changes and corrects in errors made in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2005. Management is evaluating the impact of this
pronouncement on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share Based Payment." This
statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees", and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R addresses all
forms of share based payment ("SBP") awards including shares issued under
employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock
appreciation rights. Under SFAS No. 123R, SBP awards result in a cost that will

public entities that file as small business issuers - as of the beginning of the
first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005.
The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on
the Company's financial statements.
ITEM 3 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation and Disclosure Controls and Procedures
-------------------------------------------------
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rules
13a-15e promulgated under the Exchange Act as of this report. Based upon that
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective
as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable
assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports
that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and
forms.
Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties at the Company
due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and
financial matters. This constitutes a material weakness in the financial
reporting. However, at this time management has decided that considering the
employees involved and the control procedures in place, the risks associated
with such lack of segregation are insignificant and the potential benefits of
adding additional employees to clearly segregate duties do not justify the
expenses associated with such increases. Management will periodically reevaluate
this situation. If the volume of the business increases and sufficient capital
is secured, it is the Company's intention to increase staffing to mitigate the
current lack of segregation of duties within the general administrative and
financial functions.
10
Changes in Internal Controls
----------------------------
There have been no changes in internal controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation,
including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and
material weaknesses.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
--------------------------------------------
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system
are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, within a Company have been detected.

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
THE COMPANY
Water Chef, Inc. (the "Company," "Water Chef"), designs and markets water
purification equipment. Water coolers and filters were a substantial part of the
Company's business from 1993 until the fourth quarter of 2001, at which time
this business was sold so that Water Chef could concentrate on the further
development, manufacturing, and marketing of their patented line of "PureSafe"
water purification systems. The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. To date, the
Company has shipped 26 PureSafe units. Revenue has been recognized on only 8
PureSafe units, as 18 units that were shipped to the Kingdom of Jordan have not
met the criteria for revenue recognition due to no reasonable assurance of
collectibility. In addition to those units shipped in 2005, the Company received
payment in 2005 for two additional units that will ship in 2006.
BACKGROUND
The Company was originally incorporated under Arizona law in 1985 and merged
into a Delaware corporation in 1987. In 1993, the Company, then known as Auto
Swap, U.S.A., entered into a reverse merger with Water Chef, Inc., a Nevada
corporation, which manufactured and marketed water coolers and filters.
PRODUCTS
In 2001 the Company decided to concentrate its efforts on the further
development, manufacturing and marketing of the PureSafe Water Station (the
"PureSafe"),because although Water Chef believed that its water dispensers and
its wide variety of consumer oriented water filtration products met or exceeded
the design, quality and performance of competitive products, market
considerations were such as to limit the opportunities for profit and growth.
In 1998, searching for a "killer application," Water Chef management focused on
the worldwide need for safe drinking water for populations who are not served by
municipal water treatment facilities, or are served by municipal systems that
have malfunctioned because of improper maintenance or faulty design. The result
of that activity is the PureSafe Water Station, a turn-key unit that converts
"gray," or bathing grade, water into EPA grade drinking water. The PureSafe
eliminates all living pathogens that pollute non-processed water - bacteria,
cysts, viruses, parasites, etc. - at an affordable cost for the emerging
economies of the world.
The PureSafe was tested by H2M Labs, Inc. which has been approved by Nassau and
Suffolk counties in New York to perform drinking water testing for the various
municipalities in those counties. The specific test performed was a total and
fecal coliform bacteria test, wherein the source water storage tank which feeds
the PureSafe was tested for the presence of total and fecal coliform bacteria.
The source water tank was found to have 50 colonies of coliform bacteria
present. The source water tank was then "spiked" with a three (3) liter
concentration of laboratory grown and cultured bacteria and the storage tank was
measured again with 80,000,000 colonies of bacteria detected. After being
processed through the PureSafe system, the water was tested again, and "FEWER
THAN 2 COLONIES" were detected. In addition to the laboratory test conducted for
Water Chef by H2M Labs, the available scientific literature, in industry
journals such as Water Technology and Water Conditioning and Purification
International, supports the statement that an ozone system such as the one
utilized in the PureSafe effectively eliminates all living pathogens. Ozone was
first used in municipal water treatment in Nice, France in 1904, and then in the
Jerome Park Reservoir in the Bronx, New York in 1906.
The PureSafe is a self-contained, six stage water purification center. It is
housed in the equivalent of a small storage container - approximately four feet
wide, seven feet long, and six and one-half feet high. The unit weighs
approximately eleven hundred pounds (without water) and has been configured for
portability, durability, and easy access to its essentially off-the-shelf
components. It is constructed with weather and UV resistant fiberglass, aluminum
and steel, and is equipped with internal and external lighting.
The core version of the PureSafe can purify and dispense up to 15,000 gallons of
water per day for an all-inclusive cost (labor, power, amortization of the
capital cost, replacement filters, cartridges and media) of approximately
one-half cent per gallon. The process wastes very little water, producing
approximately one gallon of pure drinking water for every gallon processed. The
unit can be moved with a single fork-lift and is transportable by truck or
helicopter. Operating the PureSafe is simple and straightforward. Due to its
turn-key design, minimum wage personnel can be trained to operate the unit. A
system of fail-safes is built into the operation, and aside from easily
installable spares such as filters and cartridges, a maintenance and oversight
program established by Water Chef should maintain the operating efficiencies
built into the system. Water Chef warrants each unit for a period of one year so
long as the consumer adheres to required maintenance protocols, using Water Chef
supplied parts, as prescribed in the maintenance manual. The Company also offers
2
PRODUCTS (continued)
larger stand-alone versions of the PureSafe to provide pure water in quantities
up to 20,000 gallons per hour. To date, there have been no warranty claims for
the PureSafe product operating in the field.
While each unit is configured to respond to the particular water quality of a
particular site, such as arsenic removal, seawater desalination, oil separation,
etc., the typical unit contains the following components:
a. Inlet connection with macro-filter - designed to strain the input water,
removes large particulates and directs water into the system
b. Inlet pump - self-priming pump which maintains water pressure at minimum 40
p.s.i. throughout the system
c. Pre-depth media filter - a multi-media mixed bed to remove pollutants.
Pressure gauges mounted on the exterior front panel of the unit allow for
visible monitoring of system performance.
d. Ozone generator - provides a rich ozone source that effectively kills all
living pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, cysts, parasites, etc. Unused ozone
reverts back to oxygen and produces no harmful byproducts.
e. Ozone mixing tank - Water Chef's proprietary process for effectively mixing
the ozone into the water and maintaining the required contact time to ensure
oxidation of contaminants.
f. Process pump - provides optimal operation of the ozone processing.
g. Post-depth media filter - another, different, multi-media mixed bed designed
to filter out oxidized or precipitated pollutants and contaminants after the
ozone treatment. Effectively removes metals, organics and inorganics. Pressure
gauges on the front panel indicate the need for backwashing to maintain optimal
performance.
h. Ultraviolet treatment - provided by a UV lamp as a redundant sterilizer step
to eliminate any surviving pathogens or micro-organisms. The UV lamp is tuned to
a frequency which also converts O3 (ozone) back to O2 (oxygen).
i. KDF filter - an ion exchange media containing a proprietary blend of copper,
zinc and other alloys, effectively absorbs chlorine and biological, inorganic
and metallic contaminants.
j. Carbon filter - prevents bacteria re-growth while removing inorganic
compounds and improves water taste and removes odor. The carbon filter also acts
as a redundant ozone destruct mechanism.
k. Mixer - sends ozone treated water to the bottle washing stations.
l. Bottle washing stations - incorporated on the outside front of the unit for
easy access in order to effectively clean bottles used to carry water treated at
the site.
m. Dispensing stations - four individual dispensing lines, each with flow
adjusting valves to help regulate a smooth, steady flow of water into clean
bottles.
MANUFACTURING
In 2000, the Company entered into a subcontracting agreement with Davis Aircraft
Products Inc, ("Davis") for the manufacture of the PureSafe. Based upon the
experience and the resources of Davis, Water Chef's management believes that
Davis can provide the production and manufacturing support services necessary to
supply Water Chef's requirements over the foreseeable future at a price, and
with the quality and performance standards necessary to meet, or exceed, the
needs of the markets that the Company expects to serve. In addition, Davis
supervises much of the Company's research and development activities.
RAW MATERIALS
The PureSafe has been designed to use, for the most part, readily available
off-the-shelf components, sub-systems and equipment. Inasmuch as each of the
components and sub-systems are available from multiple vendors, the Company does
not believe that obtaining these for its sub-contractor, for itself, or for
others if it chooses to manufacture elsewhere, will be a problem.
3
COMPETITION
Water Chef's modular, turn-key PureSafe Water Station directly addresses the
drinking water needs of those environs which do not today, and are unlikely to
enjoy access to municipally treated water. The Company has produced a turnkey
solution that produces pure water to meet U.S. EPA drinking water standards.
This is a far different market than that addressed by the segment of the
industry which has concentrated on the multi-billion dollar municipal water
treatment sector, or the equally large residential sector. The municipal
solution requires significant investment for infrastructure development
(building plants and laying miles of distribution pipes), and products for
residential markets do not offer the performance or features to meet the needs
of the underdeveloped nations of the world.
Management does recognize that its potential competitors have far more
resources, and that being first to the marketplace is no assurance of success.
It must be assumed that others are working on systems that, if successfully
brought to market, could seriously impact the viability of the Company.
The Company currently has contracts to sell PureSafe units in Laos and Ecuador.
In addition, the Company is actively marketing its products to potential
customers in Bangladesh, China, El Salvador, Egypt and Honduras, and to agencies
and departments of the U.S. Government.
MARKETING
The potential market for the PureSafe is substantial and is both worldwide and
domestic. According to studies performed by the World Health Organization (WHO)
and the United Nations, major parts of Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia,
the Indian sub-continent, Latin and South America, the Caribbean, and much of
Eastern Europe is in need of adequate supplies of pure water. Parts of Florida,
Georgia, and other regions in the United States have also reported fresh water
deficits. In part, solving this problem has been a question of appropriate
technology. Secondarily, but just as important, in a vast part of the world is
the need to secure third party financing so that the local populace can enjoy
the benefits of clean water.
Water Chef believes that it has demonstrated that it possesses the technology.
The Company also believes that financing is available for third world economies
from a variety of sources. The challenge for the Company, a virtual unknown in
the industry and with limited capital, is in getting its message in front of
decision makers. To this end, Water Chef has enlisted the aid of some of the
world's most outstanding experts in water purification, especially as it relates
to the needs of underdeveloped countries.
The Company's Scientific Advisory Board is chaired by Dr. Ronald Hart, former
Director of The National Center for Toxicological Research and a U.S. Food and
Drug Administration "Distinguished Scientist in Residence." The Board also
includes Dr. Mohamed M. Salem, Professor of Occupational and Environmental
Medicine, Cairo University; Dr. Richard Wilson, Mallinckrodt Research Professor
of Physics, Harvard University; Dr. Mostafa K. Tolba, former
Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and Director of the U.N.'s
Environmental Program; and Lord John Gilbert, former Minister of State for
Defense for the United Kingdom under three Prime Ministers and
Secretary/Treasurer of the Tri-Lateral Commission.
Not only have the members of the Scientific Advisory Board provided valuable
input and guidance to the Company with respect to system design, technological
input, remediation approaches and a great deal of information relative to the
unique water problems facing many areas of the world, but they have also been
active in introducing Water Chef to commercial opportunities
During 2004, Water Chef established a relationship with the International
Multiracial Shared Cultural Organization (IMSCO), an NGO (non-governmental
organization) specialized with the Economic and Social Council of the United
Nations. As a result of this relationship Water Chef has received United Nations
certification for its pure water humanitarian projects in Honduras and
Bangladesh, and became eligible to apply for third party funding of these
projects. As of year-end 2004, the Company has submitted these projects for
funding approval, but has received no assurance of funding.
With the recent funding of the Homeland Security Department budget, and a
renewed focus on preparedness in the event of possible future terrorist attacks
in the United States, programs have been initiated to ensure the protection and
preservation of our water resources. Water Chef has been in discussion with
political and government contacts to explore the applications for the PureSafe
as a back-up drinking water system in case of damage to municipal systems. The
Company has also initiated contact with senior government personnel to explore
the use of our technology to safeguard water supplies at U.S. installations
overseas.

PATENTS
The Company filed for patent protection on its PureSafe Water Station in October
of 1998 and received formal notification that the patent had been issued on
February 19, 2002. The Company feels that this patent upholds its claims that
the PureSafe system is a unique product. In addition to its U.S. patent, the
Company has filed for patent protection in the countries of the European Union,
and in Canada, Mexico, China, Hong Kong, Korea and Japan. The patent application
for the European Union (01-126 980.0) was filed on November 13, 2001; Canadian
Application No. 2,362,107 was filed on November 3, 2001; Mexican Application No.
PA/a/2001/12042 was filed on November 23, 2001;the Chinese Application No.
01136187.5 was filed on November 21, 2001, and was found to be in compliance on
June 20, 2003; the Hong Kong Application No. 03107837.9 was filed on October 3,
2003; and the Korean Patent Application No. 10-2001-0070453 was filed on
November 20, 2001. Each of the patent applications has been accepted, Requests
for Examination have been made, and the Company currently has patent protection
in the requested venues.
The name PureSafe Water Station and the stylized water droplet mark have been
trademarked in the United States.
Water Chef has also incorporated patented and proprietary technology in the
PureSafe and is confident that it can protect this intellectual capital
throughout the manufacturing and distribution cycle.
There can be no assurance that any application of the Company's technologies
will not infringe patent or proprietary rights of others, or that licenses which
might be required for the Company's processes or products would be available on
favorable terms. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that challenges will not
be made against the validity of the Company's patent, or that defenses
instituted to protect against patent violation will be successful.
SEASONALITY
The Company does not expect the Pure Safe to be influenced by seasonality.
GOVERNMENT APPROVALS
The Company's marketing efforts to date have been directed to Central and South
America, the Asian sub-continent, and the Middle East. No specific government
approvals are required, except for the possibility that export licenses will be
required in specific instances.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development takes place at the Company's office. Testing, modeling,
simulation and prototype manufacturing are outsourced with much of the ongoing
development taking place at the Company's contract manufacturing facilities
under the supervision of Davis Water Products. The Company estimates to date
that the design, prototyping, development and marketing of the PureSafe Water
Station has cost in excess of $2 million.
INSURANCE
The Company maintains a $1,000,000 umbrella policy, in addition to a $2,000,000
general and product liability policy, which covers the manufacture and marketing
of its products. The Company believes its insurance coverage to be adequate.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 2005, the Company employed one executive officer and two
administrative personnel in its headquarters.
The Company believes there are a sufficient number of persons available at
prevailing wage rates in or near our manufacturing locations that should
expansion of its production require additional employees, they would be readily
available. The Company has no collective bargaining agreement with any of its
employees.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company presently has no owned or leased manufacturing facilities, nor does
the Company have a plan to acquire its own manufacturing facility. The PureSafe
Water Station is manufactured for the Company under a contract by Davis Water
Products.
The Company maintains its principle place of business at 1007 Glen Cove Avenue,
Suite 1, Glen Head, New York 11545. The company leases 1,100 square feet in such
building at $2,638 per month on a month-to-month basis.
To the extent possible, the Company intends to utilize leased space for its
future needs.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In May 2001, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with a company
(the "Sub Distributor") based in Jordan. The Sub Distributor had agreed to
purchase no fewer than 100 units of the Company's "Pure Safe Water Station"
during 2001 and a minimum of 50 units in each of 2002 and 2003. To date, the
Company has shipped 18 units to the Kingdom of Jordan, none of which have met
the criteria for revenue recognition due to no reasonable assurance of
collectibility. The Company has recorded the cost of the inventory shipped as a
loss contingency of $242,035 during the year ended December 31, 2001, since
return of the items is uncertain. The Company has engaged legal counsel in
Jordan, to pursue legal remedies and obtain payment for all units shipped.

PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK
The Company's common stock is traded on the Over-The-Counter Electronic Bulletin
Board ("OTCBB") under the symbol WTER.OB. This market is categorized as being
"thin" which means that there is generally a paucity of buyers and sellers as
found in the more heavily traded Small Cap and NASDAQ markets. OTCBB stocks
generally do not have the trading characteristics of more seasoned companies as
they lack the market-makers that will make orderly markets as well as the buyers
and sellers that give depth, liquidity and orderliness to those markets. In
addition, the solicitation of orders and/or the recommendations for purchase of
OTCBB stocks is restricted in many cases by the National Association of
Securities Dealers and by individual brokerage firms as well.
The chart below sets forth the range of high and low bid prices for the
Company's common stock based on high and low bid prices during each specified
period as reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. The prices reflect
inter-dealer prices without retail mark-up, markdown, quotation or commission

afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation D
promulgated there under. These shares were offered to less than 35
"non-accredited" investors and were purchased for investment purposes with no
view to resale.
Proceeds from the sales of these securities were used for general corporate
purposes.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
INTRODUCTION
DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY
The Company was originally incorporated under Arizona law in 1985 and merged
into a Delaware corporation in 1987. In 1993, the Company, then known as Auto
Swap, U.S.A., entered into a reverse merger with Water Chef, Inc., a Nevada
corporation that manufactured and marketed water coolers and filters.
The PureSafe has been designed by the Company to meet the needs of communities
who either did not have access to municipal water treatment systems, or to those
whose systems had been compromised, either by environmental factors or by faulty
design or maintenance.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet debt nor did we have any transactions,
arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations) or other
relationships with any unconsolidated entities or other persons that may have a
material current or future effect on financial conditions, changes in financial
conditions, result of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital
resources, or significant components of revenue or expenses.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Sales for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $260,000 and $56,290,
respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company recognized
the sale of five PureSafe Water Station Systems. Four of these were purchased
for use in Ecuador and the fifth system was purchased by a humanitarian buyer to
be used as part of the tsunami relief effort in Sri Lanka. In addition, Water
Chef received deposits totaling $115,000 during 2005 for relief effort systems
that will be shipped in 2006.
Cost of sales decreased from $62,250 for the year ended December 31, 2004, to
$42,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $20,250, or 33%. An
analysis of the components of cost of sales follows:
Cost of Sales Product Rent and Overhead Total Cost
Period CGS Payments to Manufacturer of sales
2005 $13,250 $49,000 $62,250
2004 $ 0 $42,000 $42,000
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31,
2005 were $1,194,577 compared to $1,296,265 for the year ended December 31,
2004, a decrease of $101,688 or 8%. The decrease in expense is primarily due to
higher professional fees (approximately $187,000) in 2004.
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $244,191 compared to
$150,228 for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $93,963, or 63%,
primarily related to the accretion of the debt discount, amortization of
deferred financing costs and the issuance of 100,000 shares of common stock
valued at $14,200 for the one month deferral to request payment.
In 2004, the Company recognized a loss on settlement of debt of $2,407,867.
The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $1,168,328 compared to
$3,757,802 for the year ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of $2,589,474.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 2005, the Company had a stockholders' deficiency of
approximately $3,577,000 and a working capital deficiency of approximately
$3,100,000. In addition, the Company has a net loss of approximately $1,168,000
and $3,758,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The
financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue
as a going concern. The auditor's report on its financial statements included
elsewhere herein contains an explanatory paragraph about conditions that raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans with respect to these matters include restructuring its
existing debt and raising additional capital through future issuances of stock
and/or debt. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. In
November 2005, the Company entered into issued a loan agreement with Southridge
Partners LP, pursuant to which the Company received a loan of $250,000, less
legal fees, secured by four million shares of the Company's common stock owned
by the President and Chief Executive Officer. The loan principal and interest is
due and payable, in cash or shares of common stock, on March 16, 2006. As a
condition of the loan agreement, the Company registered two million shares of
common stock for the benefit of Southridge Partners LP, and registered 430,000
shares of common stock underlying a common stock warrant issued to the lender.
The Company, during 2005 and 2004, raised $494,960 and $790,356, respectively,
through the sale of its common and preferred stock.

Water Chef was a defendant in a legal action brought by certain debenture
holders ("Bridge Loans") in New Hampshire Superior Court seeking repayment of
debenture principal of $300,000 and accrued interest from 1997. On June 22, 2002
a settlement was reached whereby the Company agreed to (i) issue a minimum of
3,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $497,500 in lieu of the principal and
interest owed to the debenture holders who participated in this legal action.
The Company recorded the debentures at $300,000, plus accrued interest of
$39,400, for a total of $339,400. The difference between the $497,500, the value
for the 3,000,000 shares, divided by the average daily trading price for the 30
days subsequent to the settlement, was greater than the original 3,000,000
shares. Due to these requirements, the Company was obligated to issue an
additional 14,037,671 shares. As of December 31, 2004, the Company has issued
the 3,000,000 shares and the additional 14,037,671 shares originally valued at
$497,500. Attached to the original Bridge Loans were warrants for the purchase
of 1,666,667 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.15 per share. The
debenture holders that participated in the legal action had the lives of their
warrants extended from March 2002 to March 2004. In connection with the issuance
of the Bridge Lenders' shares the Company further extended the expiration date
of the warrants to a date twelve months after the effective date of the
Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
January 24, 2005 which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission on June 7, 2005.
In addition to the above settlement with Bridge Lenders who participated in the
legal action, the Company settled its obligation with debenture holders that did
not participate ("non-participating debenture holders") in the legal action.
These non-participating debenture holders had total debentures of $75,000, plus
accrued interest of $9,850, totaling $84,850 as of the settlement date. In
conjunction with the above settlement, the Company settled these outstanding
non-participating debentures, plus accrued interest, with the issuance of
750,000 shares of common stock valued at $0.0292 per share, or $21,900. The
terms of their warrants were not extended, nor are they entitled to receive
additional shares based on the Company's common stock achieving a certain
average trading price 30 days subsequent to the settlement with the
participating debenture holders. During 2004, the Company issued the 750,000
settlement shares.
Management is currently attempting to settle or restructure the remaining debt,
and plans to satisfy its existing obligations with the cash derived from the
profitable sale of its product.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparation of the
statements in accordance with these principles requires that we make estimates,
using available data and our judgment, for such things as valuing assets,
accruing liabilities and estimating expenses. The following is a list of what we
feel are the most critical estimations that we make when preparing our financial
statements.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when products are shipped, title passes and collectibility
is reasonably assured. Allowances for estimated bad debts, sales allowance and
discounts are provided when such sales are recorded.
Stock-Based Compensation
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123 (revised 2004),
"Shared-Based Payment." SFAS 123(R) addresses the accounting for share-based
payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in
exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that
are based on the fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments or that may
be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS 123(R) requires an
entity to recognize the grant-date fair-value of stock options and other
equity-based compensation issued to employees in the income statement. The
revised statement generally requires that an entity account for those
transactions using the fair-value-based method, and eliminates the intrinsic
value method of accounting in APB 25, which was permitted under SFAS No. 123, as
originally issued. The revised statement requires entities to disclose
information about the nature of the share-based payment transactions and the
effects of those transactions on the financial statements.
SFAS No. 123(R) is effective for small business issuers' financial statements
for the first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005.
We have used stock in the past to raise capital and as a means of compensation
to employees.
9
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 05-4 "The Effect of a
Liquidated Damages Clause on a Freestanding Financial Instrument Subject to EITF
Issue No. 00-19, `Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to,
and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock" ("EITF No. 05-4") addresses
financial instruments, such as stock purchase warrants, which are accounted for
under EITF 00-19 that may be issued at the same time and in contemplation of a
registration rights agreement that includes a liquidated damages clause. The
consensus for EITF No. 05-4 has not been finalized. In November 2005 the Company
issued a convertible promissory note, a registration rights agreement and
warrants (See Note 6). Based on the interpretive guidance in EITF Issue No.
05-4, Due to certain factors and the liquidated damage provision in the
registration rights agreement, the Company determined that the embedded
conversion option and the warrants are derivative liabilities and the
registration statement becoming effective on January 30, 2006, the value of the
registration rights was deemed to be de minims.
Effects of Recent Accounting Policies
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share Based Payment." This
statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R addresses all
forms of share based payment ("SBP") awards including shares issued under
employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock
appreciation rights. Under SFAS No. 123R, SBP awards result in a cost that will
be measured at fair value on the awards' grant date, based on the estimated
number of awards that are expected to vest. This statement is effective for
public entities that file as small business issuers - as of the beginning of the
first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005.
Management believes the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material
impact on the Company's financial statements, whereby the Company, upon
adoption, expects to record a charge for the granting of future employee stock
options.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154 - Accounting for Change in Error
Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. This
statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes" and FASB Statement
No. 3 "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements," and
changes the requirement for the accounting for and reporting changes in
accounting principle. This statement applies to changes required by an
accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not
include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific
transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. This statement is
effective for accounting changes and corrects errors made in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2005.
Management believes the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material
effect on the Company's financial statements.
TheEITF reached a tentative conclusion on EITF Issue No. 05-1, "Accounting for
the Conversion of an Instrument that Becomes Convertible upon the Issuer's
Exercise of a Call Option" that no gain or loss should be recognized upon the
conversion of an instrument that becomes convertible as a result of an issuer's
exercise of a call option pursuant to the original terms of the instrument. The
consensus for EITF No. 05-1 has not been finalized.
The application of this pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on the
Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In June 2005, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 05-2, "The Meaning of
`Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument' in EITF Issue No. 00-19, Accounting
for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a
Company's Own Stock" ("EITF No. 05-2"), which addresses when a convertible debt
instrument should be considered `conventional' for the purpose of applying the
guidance in EITF No. 00-19. EITF No. 05-2 also retained the exemption under EITF
No. 00-19 for conventional convertible debt instruments and indicated that
convertible preferred stock having a mandatory redemption date may qualify for
the exemption provided under EITF No. 00-19 for conventional convertible debt if
the instrument's economic characteristics are more similar to debt than equity.
EITF No. 05-2 is effective for new instruments entered into and instruments
modified in periods beginning after June 29, 2005.
The Company has applied the requirements of EITF No. 05-2, See Note 6 with
respect to the impact of this pronouncement on the Company's financial
statements.
In June 2005, the EITF reached consensus on Issue No. 05-6, "Determining the
Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements" (EITF 05-6). EITF 05-6 provides
guidance on determining the amortization period for leasehold improvements
acquired in a business combination or acquired subsequent to lease inception.
The guidance in EITF 05-6 will be applied prospectively and is effective for
periods beginning after June 29, 2005. EITF 05-6 did not have a material impact
on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
10
In September 2005, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 05-7, "Accounting for
Modifications to Conversion Options Embedded in Debt Instruments and Related
Issues" ("EITF No. 05-7"), which addresses whether a modification to a
conversion option that changes its fair value affects the recognition of
interest expense for the associated debt instrument after the modification and
whether a borrower should recognize a beneficial conversion feature, not a debt
extinguishment, if a debt modification increases the intrinsic value of the debt
(for example, the modification reduces the conversion price of the debt). EITF
No. 05-7 is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning
after December 15, 2005.
The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect that the
adoption of this pronouncement will have on its financial statements.
On September 28, 2005, the FASB ratified the following consensus reached in EITF
Issue 05-8 ("Income Tax Consequences of Issuing Convertible Debt with a
Beneficial Conversion Feature"): a) The issuance of convertible debt with a
beneficial conversion feature results in a basis difference in applying SFAS No.
109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Recognition of such a feature effectively
creates a debt instrument and a separate equity instrument for book purposes,
whereas the convertible debt is treated entirely as a debt instrument for income
tax purposes. b) The resulting basis difference should be deemed a temporary
difference because it will result in a taxable amount when the recorded amount
of the liability is recovered or settled. c) Recognition of deferred taxes for
the temporary difference should be reported as an adjustment to additional
paid-in capital. This consensus is effective in the first interim or annual
reporting period commencing after December 15, 2005, with early application
permitted. The effect of applying the consensus should be accounted for
retroactively to all debt instruments containing a beneficial conversion feature
that are subject to EITF Issue 00-27 , "Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain
Convertible Debt Instruments" (and thus is applicable to debt instruments
converted or extinguished in prior periods but which are still presented in the
financial statements).
Management is evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the Company's
financial statements.

FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
During the year ended December 31, 2005, no change in accountants occurred and
there were no disagreements with accountants.
ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation and Disclosure Controls and Procedures
-------------------------------------------------
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rules
13a-15e promulgated under the Exchange Act as of this report. Based upon that
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective
as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable
assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports
that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and
forms. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
also concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective also to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted
under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to the Company's
management to allow timely decisions on required disclosure.
Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties at the Company
due to the small number of employees managing administrative and financial
matters. This constitutes a significant deficiency in the financial reporting.
Management has mitigated these factors by hiring an independent
accountant/bookkeeper to review and compile our financial statements on a
quarterly and annual basis.
At this time management has decided that considering the employees involved and
the control procedures in place and the potential benefits of adding additional
employees to clearly segregate duties does not justify the additional expense.
Management will periodically reevaluate this situation. If the situation changes
and sufficient capital is secured, it is the Company's intention to increase
staffing to mitigate the current lack of segregation of duties within the
general administrative and financial functions.
Changes in Internal Controls
----------------------------
Management has evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
procedures as of December 31, 2005. Based on such evaluation, management has
concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective for their
intended purpose described above. There were no changes to the internal controls
during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2005 that have materially affected
or that are reasonably likely to affect the internal controls.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
--------------------------------------------
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system
are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. The
Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable
assurance of achieving its objectives. The Company's principal executive officer
and principal financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.

efforts, registration statement and consultations regarding financial accounting
and reporting.
(3) Comprised of services for tax compliance, tax return preparation, tax advice
and tax planning.
(4) Fees related to other filings with the SEC, including consents.
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, all audit and non-audit services performed
by the Company's independent accountants must now be approved in advance by the
Audit Committee to assure that such services do not impair the accountants'
independence from the Company. Accordingly, the Audit Committee has adopted an
Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the "Policy") which sets forth
the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services to be performed by
the independent accountants are to be pre-approved. Pursuant to the Policy,
certain services described in detail in the Policy may be pre-approved on an
annual basis together with pre-approved maximum fee levels for such services.
The services eligible for annual pre-approval consist of services that would be
included under the categories of Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and
All Other Fees in the above table as well as services for limited review of
actuarial reports and calculations. If not pre-approved on an annual basis,
proposed services must otherwise be separately approved prior to being performed
by the independent accountants. In addition, any services that receive annual
pre-approval but exceed the pre-approved maximum fee level also will require
separate approval by the Audit Committee prior to being performed. The Audit
Committee may delegate authority to pre-approve audit and non-audit services to
any member of the Audit Committee, but may not delegate such authority to
management.
All of the engagements and fees for the year ended December 31, 2005 were
approved by the Audit Committee. Of the total number of hours expended during
M&K's engagement to audit the Company's financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2005, none of the hours were attributed to work performed by
persons other than M&K's full-time, permanent employees.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Water Chef, Inc.
Glen Head, New York
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Water Chef, Inc., (a
development stage company) as of December 31, 2005 and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' deficiency and cash flows for the years ended December
31, 2005 and 2004 and for the cumulative period from January 1, 2002
(commencement as a development stage company) to December 31, 2005. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Water Chef, Inc., (a
development stage company) as of December 31, 2005 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and
for the cumulative period from January 1, 2002 (commencement as a development
stage company) to December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial
statements, the Company has had recurring losses, and has a working capital and
stockholders' deficiency as of December 31, 2005. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's
plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

WATER CHEF, INC.
(A Development Stage Company Commencing January 1, 2002)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Water Chef, Inc. (the "Company"), is a Delaware Corporation currently engaged in
the design, marketing and sale of water dispensers and purification equipment
both in and outside the United States. The Company's corporate headquarters is
in Glen Head, NY.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONTINUED OPERATIONS
Basis of Presentation
The Company discontinued its water cooler and filtration operations in November
2001. As a result, the Company has refocused its efforts on raising capital and
developing markets for its proprietary technology. Therefore, for financial
purposes, the Company has determined that it has re-entered the development
stage commencing January 1, 2002. The Company's statements of operations,
stockholders' deficiency and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2005
represent the financial information cumulative, from inception/commencement,
required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 7,
"Development Stage Enterprises."
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization
of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial
statements do not purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The
Company incurred losses from operations of $1,168,328 and $3,757,802 for the
years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company has a working
capital deficit and a stockholders' deficiency of approximately $3,100,000 and
$3,577,000 at December 31, 2005, respectively. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans with respect to these matters include restructuring its
existing debt and raising additional capital through future issuances of stock
and/or debt. The accompanying financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty and these
adjustments may be material
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Patents and Trademarks - Patents and trademarks are amortized ratably over 9 to
14 years. The Company assesses the carrying value of its patents for impairment
each year. Based on its assessments, the Company did not incur any impairment
charges for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation - In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -
Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." SFAS No.
148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide
alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS
No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent

Revenue Recognition - Revenues are recognized when product is shipped, title
passes and collectibility is reasonably assured. Allowances for estimated bad
debts, sales allowances and discounts are provided when such sales are recorded.
Inventories - Inventories consists of finished goods and are stated at the lower
of cost or market utilizing the first-in, first-out method. As of December 31,
2005, inventory was comprised of $30,000 of finished goods.
Shipping and Handling Costs - Shipping and handling costs are expensed as
incurred as part of cost of sales. These costs were deemed to be immaterial
during each of the reporting periods.
Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising
costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, were
deemed immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Income Taxes - Income taxes are accounted for under SFAS No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes," which is an asset and liability approach that requires the
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial
statements or tax returns. Valuation allowances are established when necessary
to reduce deferred assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
Loss Per Share - Basic loss per share was computed using the weighted average
number of outstanding common shares. Diluted loss per share includes the effect
of dilutive common stock equivalents from the assumed exercise of options,
warrants and convertible preferred stock. Common stock equivalents were excluded
in the computation of diluted loss per share since their inclusion would be
anti-dilutive. Total shares issuable upon the exercise of options, warrants and
the conversion of preferred stock and convertible debt for the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004, were 21,270,105 and 34,230,804, respectively.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
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 revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts of the financial
instruments reported in the balance sheet approximate their fair market value
due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - In the event that facts and circumstances
indicate that the cost of an asset may be impaired, an evaluation of
recoverability would be performed. If an evaluation is required, the estimated
future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset would be compared to
the asset's carrying amount to determine if a write-down to fair value is
required.
Research and Development - Research and development costs consist of
expenditures incurred during the course of planned research and investigation
aimed at the discovery of new knowledge, which will be useful in developing new
products or processes. The Company expenses all research and development costs
as incurred. There were no research and development costs incurred during the
years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123R, "Share Based
Payment." This statement is a revision of SFAS Statement No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation" and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance. SFAS 123R
addresses all forms of share based payment ("SBP") awards including shares
issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and
stock appreciation rights. Under SFAS 123R, SBP awards result in a cost that
will be measured at fair value on the awards' grant date, based on the estimated
number of awards that are expected to vest. This statement is effective for
public entities that file as small business issuers - as of the beginning of the
first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005.
The Company believes the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material
impact on the Company's financial statements, whereby the Company, upon
adoption, expects to record a charge for the granting of future employee stock
options.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154 - Accounting for Change in Error
Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. This
statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes" and FASB Statement
No. 3 "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements," and
changes the requirement for the accounting for and reporting changes in
accounting principles. This statement applies to changes required by an
accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not
include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific
transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. This statement is
effective for accounting changes and corrects errors made in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2005.
The application of this pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on the
Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In September 2005, the FASB ratified the following consensus reached in Emerging
Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue 05-8 ("Income Tax Consequences of Issuing
Convertible Debt with a Beneficial Conversion Feature"): a) the issuance of
convertible debt with a beneficial conversion feature results in a basis
difference in applying FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No.
109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Recognition of such a feature effectively
creates a debt instrument and a separate equity instrument for book purposes,
whereas the convertible debt is treated entirely as a debt instrument for income
tax purposes. b) the resulting basis difference should be deemed a temporary
difference because it will result in a taxable amount when the recorded amount
of the liability is recovered or settled. c) recognition of deferred taxes for
the temporary difference should be reported as an adjustment to additional
paid-in capital. This consensus is effective in the first interim or annual
reporting period commencing after December 15, 2005, with early application
permitted. The effect of applying the consensus should be accounted for
retroactively to all debt instruments containing a beneficial conversion feature
that are subject to EITF Issue 00-27,,"Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain
Convertible Debt Instruments" (and thus is applicable to debt instruments
converted or extinguished in prior periods but which are still presented in the
financial statements).
The application of this pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on the
Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
EITF reached a tentative conclusion on EITF Issue No. 05-1, "Accounting for the
Conversion of an Instrument that Becomes Convertible upon the Issuer's Exercise
of a Call Option" that no gain or loss should be recognized upon the conversion
of an instrument that becomes convertible as a result of an issuer's exercise of
a call option pursuant to the original terms of the instrument. The consensus
for EITF No. 05-1 has not been finalized.

The application of this pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on the
Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In June 2005, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 05-2, "The Meaning of
`Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument' in EITF Issue No. 00-19, Accounting
for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a
Company's Own Stock" ("EITF No. 05-2"), which addresses when a convertible debt
instrument should be considered `conventional' for the purpose of applying the
guidance in EITF No. 00-19. EITF No. 05-2 also retained the exemption under EITF
No. 00-19 for conventional convertible debt instruments and indicated that
convertible preferred stock having a mandatory redemption date may qualify for
the exemption provided under EITF No. 00-19 for conventional convertible debt if
the instrument's economic characteristics are more similar to debt than equity.
EITF No. 05-2 is effective for new instruments entered into and instruments
modified in periods beginning after June 29, 2005.
The Company has applied the requirements of EITF No. 05-2, (See Note 6) with
respect to the impact of this pronouncement on the Company's financial
statements.
In June 2005, the EITF reached consensus on Issue No. 05-6, "Determining the
Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements" (EITF 05-6). EITF 05-6 provides
guidance on determining the amortization period for leasehold improvements
acquired in a business combination or acquired subsequent to lease inception.
The guidance in EITF 05-6 will be applied prospectively and is effective for
periods beginning after June 29, 2005. EITF 05-6 will not have a material impact
on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In September 2005, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 05-7, "Accounting for
Modifications to Conversion Options Embedded in Debt Instruments and Related
Issues" ("EITF No. 05-7"), which addresses whether a modification to a
conversion option that changes its fair value affects the recognition of
interest expense for the associated debt instrument after the modification and
whether a borrower should recognize a beneficial conversion feature, not a debt
extinguishment, if a debt modification increases the intrinsic value of the debt
(for example, the modification reduces the conversion price of the debt). EITF
No. 05-7 is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning
after December 15, 2005.
The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect that the
adoption of this pronouncement will have on its financial statements.
EITF Issue No. 05-4 "The Effect of a Liquidated Damages Clause on a Freestanding
Financial Instrument Subject to EITF Issue No. 00-19, `Accounting for Derivative
Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own
Stock" ("EITF No. 05-4") addresses financial instruments, such as stock purchase
warrants, which are accounted for under EITF 00-19 that may be issued at the
same time and in contemplation of a registration rights agreement that includes
a liquidated damages clause. The consensus for EITF No. 05-4 has not been
finalized. In November 2005 the Company issued a convertible promissory note, a
registration rights agreement and warrants (See Note 6). Based on the
interpretive guidance in EITF Issue No. 05-4, Due to certain factors and the
liquidated damage provision in the registration rights agreement, the Company
determined that the embedded conversion option and the warrants are derivative
liabilities and the registration statement becoming effective on January 30,
2006, the value of the registration rights was deemed to be de minims.

December 31, 2001. The principal balance and accrued interest were payable on
September 1, 2001. The Company did not make such payment and was required to
issue an additional 100,000 penalty shares of its common stock to the note
holder. The Company recorded additional interest expense of $12,300 related to
the issuance of these penalty shares. The amount due on this note, inclusive of
$446,533 in interest, is $846,533 at December 31, 2005.
(c) In November 2000, the Company entered into a Convertible Promissory Note
agreement, whereby the Company may be advanced a maximum of $300,000. The

December 2000 and $50,000 in January 2001. No further cash advances were made to
the Company. The Convertible Promissory Note agreement also called for the
payment of $100,000 of Company expenses. The advances bear interest at 10% per
annum and were to have been repaid as of January 15, 2002. A maximum of
6,000,000 shares could have been issued upon conversion had the full $300,000
been advanced. As of December 31, 2005, the balance of the convertible
promissory note principal was $184,637 and no interest was owed
6. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
In November 2005, the Company entered into a Convertible Promissory Note
agreement for $250,000. The Convertible Promissory Noted bears interest at a
rate of 8% per annum and will mature in March 2006. The Company granted 430,000
warrants to the holder, which are exercisable at $0.14 per share and have a life
of three years. The warrants carry a cashless exercise provision.
The note included certain conversion features as follows:
o convertible at any time after the maturity date, at the option of the
holder,
o convertible at 85% of the average of the three 3 lowest closing bid
prices for the common stock, for the ten trading days ending on the
trading day immediately before the conversion date.
The Convertible Promissory Note agreement required the Company to file a
registration statement no later than sixty business days and no less than the
amount of subscribed shares, and to cause the registration statement relating to
the registrable securities to become effective the earlier of five business days
after notice from the Securities and Exchange Commission that the registration
statement may be declared effective, or (b) one hundred twenty days.
The Convertible Promissory Note agreement included a liquidated damages clause,
which stipulates if the registration statement is not filed by the filing date
or declared effective by the effective date, then upon failure of either event
the subscriber shall be entitled to liquidated damages, payable in cash, in the
sum of one percent (1%) of the principal amount of the Note:

a. for each 30 day period after the filing date that transpires until the
date that the Company files the registration statement, and
b. for each 30 day period after the effective date that transpires until
such date as the registration statement is declared effective.
The gross proceeds of $250,000 were recorded net of a discount of $188,000. The
debt discount consisted of $47,200 related to the warrants and $140,800 related
to the embedded conversion option. The warrants and the embedded conversion
option were accounted for under EITF issue No. 00-19 "Accounting for Derivative
Financial Instruments Index to and Potentially Settled in a Company's Own Stock"
and EITF 05-4, view A "The effect of a Liquidated Damages Clause on a
Freestanding Financial Instrument." Due to certain factors and the liquidated
damage provision in the registration rights agreement, the Company determined
that the embedded conversion option and the warrants are derivative liabilities.
Accordingly, the warrants and the embedded conversion option will be marked to
market through earnings at the end of each reporting period. Due to the fact
that the registration statement became effective on January 30, 2006, the value
of the registration rights was deemed to be de minims. The warrants and the
conversion option are valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. For the
year ended December 31, 2005, the Company reflected a gain of $5,800
representing a change in the value of the warrants and conversion option. The
debt discount of $188,000 is being accreted over a period of four months and as
a result, a charge of $75,200 was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2005.
This Convertible Promissory Note is secured by 4,000,000 shares held by an
officer of the Company. The balance due under this note at December 31, 2005 is
$250,000 plus accrued interest of $2,500. The Company incurred fees of
approximately $7,500 at the closing date of the note. These costs have been
capitalized as of December 31, 2005 as deferred financing costs and will be
amortized to interest expense over the life of the note and for the year ended
December 31, 2005, $2,813 has been amortized.
7. LOANS PAYABLE - STOCKHOLDER
At December 31, 2004, the Company is obligated to its Chief Executive Officer
who is also a significant stockholder for loans and advances made to the Company
totaling $372,781, plus accrued interest of $129,089. These advances have been
accruing interest ranging from 6% to 12% per annum. The loans have no repayment

Series A:
The Series A preferred stock provides for a 10% cumulative dividend, based on
the $10 per share purchase price, payable annually in the Company's common stock
or cash, at the Company's option. The Series A preferred stock is not
convertible, and is redeemable solely at the Company's option at a price of $11
per share plus accrued dividends. The Series A preferred stockholders have
voting rights equal to common stockholders.
In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company,
whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of the Series A preferred stock are
entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company the sum of $10.00 per share
of Series A preferred stock then outstanding, plus a sum equal to all dividends
(whether or not earned or declared) on such shares accrued and unpaid thereon to
the date of final payment or distribution, before any payment or distribution
upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up shall be made on any series or class
of capital stock ranking junior to Series A preferred stock as to such payment
or distribution.
Series C:
During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company sold Series C 15%
Convertible Preferred stock at $1.00 per share. These shares convert in one
year. All dividends are cumulative and are payable in shares of the Company's
common stock valued at the then-current market price per share, or upon
conversion, whichever is earlier. The conversion rate for shares, and accrued
dividends payable, is 33.33 shares of common for each $1.00 of preferred stock
and dividends payable, or $0.03 for each share of common stock. The Series C
Preferred stockholders have voting rights equal to the common stockholders. The
Series C preferred stock has no stated rights in the assets of the Company upon
liquidation. During 2002, the Company sold 125,000 shares of Series C preferred
stock. For each share of preferred stock purchased, the buyers also receive the
right to receive an additional 33.33 shares of common stock upon conversion, as
the market value of the stock was $0.015 at issuance.

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company,
whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of the Series D preferred stock are
entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company the sum of all dividends
(whether or not earned or declared) on such shares accrued and unpaid thereon to
the date of final payment or distribution, before any payment or distribution
upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up shall be made on any series or class
of capital stock ranking junior to Series D preferred stock as to such payment
or distribution.
Series F:
In April 2003, management authorized the Company to raise up to $550,000 through
a private placement by issuing 10% two-year convertible preferred instruments.
The preferred, designated as Series F, and provided for one million shares in
total and can be convertible into shares of Water Chef's common stock at such
time as the stockholders of the corporation approve an increase in the
authorized capital stock of the corporation, which occurred on June 4, 2004. All
dividends are cumulative and are payable in shares of the Company's common stock
valued at the then current market price per share, at the time of maturity, or
upon conversion, whichever is earlier. The conversion rate for shares and
accrued dividends payable is 40 shares of common for each share of preferred
stock. The Series F convertible preferred stockholders have voting rights equal
to the common stockholders. The Series F convertible preferred stock has no
stated rights in the assets of the Company upon liquidation.
Although there was a discount upon the issuance of all of the Series F preferred
stock in accordance with EITF 98-5, a security is not yet convertible if certain
contingencies exist which are dependent upon the occurrence of a future event
outside the control of the security holder. In this case, the shares can only be
converted into common stock after the stockholders of the Company approve an
increase in the authorized capital stock of the corporation. In accordance with
EITF 98-5, any beneficial conversion (discount) feature is measured at the
commitment date, but will not be recognized as an adjustment to earnings until
the contingency is resolved, (the date the increase in shares are approved). In
June 2004, the Company voted and approved a proposal to amend the Certificate of
Incorporation to increase the Company's authorized capital stock from
100,000,000 to 200,000,000 shares, consisting of 190,000,000 shares of common
stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. During June 2004, the Company
recorded the deferred contingent beneficial conversion adjustment of $2,072,296
as a deemed dividend since the contingency was resolved.
In connection with Series F Preferred Stock conversions, the Company recorded
dividends of $66,436 and $41,915 for each of the years ended December 31, 2005
and 2004, respectively.
10. STOCK OPTION, STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS AND WARRANT GRANT PLAN
The Company's president and director were issued 6,000,000 options to purchase
common stock of the Company in January 2004. The total options granted may be
converted to common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 and expire in five
years. Those options were converted to stock appreciation rights [the
"Conversion"] in November 2004. The Conversion consisted of 5,000,000 stock
appreciation rights granted to the President which vest over 5 years and
1,000,000 stock appreciation rights granted to the director which vest over 2
years.
In March 1997, the Company, in connection with Bridge Loans for $375,000 issued
warrants to purchase 2,500,001 shares of common stock at $.15 per share. These
warrants had a life of five years and were to have expired in March 2002. In the
year ended December 31, 2000, a total of 333,334 common shares were issued upon
the exercise of a like number of warrants, for net proceeds of $50,000. Of the
remaining 2,166,667 un-exercised warrants at March 2002, a total of 1,666,667
warrants had their lives extended for an additional two years until March 2004
and then later for another twelve months until March 2005. The remaining balance
of 500,000 warrants was not extended, and accordingly they have expired. The
extension of the exercise date was part of a settlement that the Company had
reached with certain debenture holders that had brought a legal action against
the Company. In June 2005, the Company extended for the second time the life of
the warrants for one year. The Company recorded an additional charge of $74,700,
which has been included in the statements of operations.
The fair value of each stock option, or warrant granted, is estimated on the
date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. During the year
ended December 31, 2005, the Company granted 433,00 warrants in connection with
the Convertible Promissory Note [Note 6]. The Company did not grant, nor issue

York is on a month to month basis.

12. LITIGATION
In the normal course of business, the Company may be involved in legal
proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many
uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. The Company
currently is not involved in any legal proceedings which are not in the ordinary
course of business.
13. INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes. SFAS No. 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and
liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial
statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future
tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. SFAS No.
109 additionally requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect
the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets.
For the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, no provision for income taxes has
been provided for, as a result of continued net operating losses. The Company is
subject to certain state and local taxes based on capital. The state and local
taxes based on capital were immaterial for each of the years ended December 31,
2005 and 2004.

(A Development Stage Company Commencing January 1, 2002)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Continued
The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 34% due to the
increase of the valuation allowance.
The Company has net operating loss carry-forwards for federal income tax
purposes totaling approximately $17,822,000 at December 31, 2005. These
carry-forwards expire between the years 2009 through 2025. Utilization of these
loss carry-forwards may be limited under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The
deferred tax asset arising from the net operating loss carry-forwards has been
offset by a corresponding valuation allowance.
The valuation allowance relates to the federal and state net operating losses
for which utilization in future periods is uncertain. The ultimate realization
of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income
during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The
Company considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in
making this assessment. Based on projections for future taxable income over the
periods that the deferred tax assets are deductible, the Company believes it is
more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these
deductible differences in the near future and therefore a full valuation
allowance of $6,950,000 is provided. The valuation allowance increased
approximately $50,000 during 2005 related to increased net operating losses.
14. MAJOR CUSTOMERS
Sales for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $260,000 and $56,290,
respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company recognized
the sale of five PureSafe Water Station Systems. Four of these were purchased
for use in Ecuador and the fifth system was purchased by a humanitarian buyer to
be used as part of the tsunami relief effort in Sri Lanka. In addition, Water
Chef received deposits totaling $115,000 during 2005 for relief effort systems
that will be shipped in 2006.
15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

to vest at the rate of 50% per year. Those options were converted to stock
appreciation rights in November 2004. For each of the years ended December 31,
