plan of operations over the next 12 months is to continue to address water quality and supply issues in the DRC through the installation
of our AQUAtapTMAQUAtap™ Community Water Purification & Distribution systems as well as the employment of our WEPSTM
WEPS™ technology, and we
anticipate that we will require a minimum of $1,011,000 to pursue those plans.
