Share Consolidation
On September 26, 2024, the Company filed Articles of Amendment to effect a share consolidation (also known as a reverse stock split) of its issued and outstanding common shares on a one-for-twenty-five basis. The share consolidation became effective on September 26, 2024. All share and per share amounts have been restated for all periods presented to reflect the share consolidation.
Rainmaker Worldwide Inc. (“RAKR” or the “Company”) is a Nevada-based corporation that became publicly traded on July 3, 2017, following a reverse merger. The Company specializes in energy-efficient freshwater production and purification technologies, primarily through Air-to-Water (“AW”) systems that extract water from humidity. It also offers solutions to transform contaminated or seawater into potable or reusable water. Rainmaker focuses on providing sustainable water solutions to communities and industries globally through strategic partnerships.
Originally, the Company operated through its Ontario-based subsidiary, Rainmaker Worldwide Inc. (Ontario) (“RWI”), established in 2014 to commercialize its patented water technologies. In line with its expansion strategy, Rainmaker sold a 60% stake in RWI on March 31, 2023, retaining a 40% interest. Subsequently, on January 22, 2024, RWI acquired a 60% stake in Miranda Environmental and Water Treatment Technologies, with plans to acquire the remaining 40% over the next two years. This acquisition significantly expanded RAKR’s portfolio through its distribution rights for Miranda’s products, thereby strengthening its water treatment capabilities.
On December 31, 2024, RWI underwent a restructuring, during which the Company converted its investment in RWI into RWI shares. Simultaneously, RWI independently secured new capital investment, reducing the Company’s ownership in RWI to 13.65%. As a result of RWI’s financial situation—characterized by insufficient cash flow, net liabilities, and ongoing net losses—the Company decided to impair the investment in accordance with standard accounting principles. Given these conditions, the Company determined that the investment could not reasonably provide a sufficient return on investment (ROI) and therefore impaired the asset to zero. The Company was fully aware of this outcome prior to the restructuring.
Although the equity value of this investment has been impaired, the Company continues to benefit from all of the original distribution rights, in particular for Mexico and the United States. The Company and RWI continue will work together to maximize the value of these distribution rights. Both companies understand that the water infrastructure sector has long sales cycles, often contingent upon factors such as timely permitting for projects that require water treatment.
On October 9, 2024, RWI restructured its 12% ownership of Rainmaker Holland B.V. (“RHBV”) by rolling it into Rainmaker Holding B.V., reducing its stake to 5%. Despite this reduction, the Company continues to benefit from access to RHBV’s technology on a cost-plus pricing basis.
Rainmaker’s corporate journey has included significant restructuring efforts. Originally formed as Gold and Silver Mining of Nevada, Inc., the Company underwent a merger with RWI in 2017, resulting in a reverse acquisition where RWI shareholders took control of the combined entity. In 2021, Rainmaker and RWI entered into an agreement with RHBV, Dutch Rainmaker B.V. (“DRM”), and Wind en Water Technologie Holding B.V. (“WWT”) to settle financial obligations through an exchange of debt, contractual obligations, and common stock. These actions were aimed at optimizing business operations and expanding access to capital markets.
Today, RAKR remains committed to delivering advanced water production and purification solutions, leveraging its innovative technologies and expanded product range, particularly through its distribution agreements for Miranda products. The Company is focused on business development across North, South, and Central America, as well as the Caribbean, positioning itself as a leader in sustainable water solutions.
Rainmaker
Worldwide Inc. (“RAKR”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a Nevada corporation
originally formed on February 27, 1998. The corporation became RAKR on July 3, 2017, in a reverse merger. We are currently developing
projects in various locations around the globe using RAKR and partner technologies. We are implementing these projects using proprietary
technology of Rainmaker Holland B.V. (“RHBV”) in which the Company has a 12% ownership stake. RAKR retains access to the
technology based on a cost-plus formula.
Rainmaker
Worldwide Inc. (Ontario) (“RWI”), an Ontario Corporation, was formed in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada on July 21, 2014, under
the Ontario Business Corporations Act to finance and commercialize patented technology and to consolidate the assets, intellectual property,
and executive management expertise of DRM. RAKR retains a 40% interest in RWI following an investment from financial partners to affect
the acquisition of Miranda.
On
July 3, 2017, RWI shareholders completed a share exchange with the Company (the “Merger”) pursuant to a share exchange agreement
dated June 28, 2017 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) among the Company, RWI and RWI’s 45 shareholders at the time.
Upon completion of the Merger, and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired
an aggregate of 9,029,562 common shares of stock in the capital of RWI from the RWI Shareholders (being all the issued and outstanding
shares of RWI) in exchange for an aggregate of 66,818,759 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, or 7.4 shares for each
share of RWI. Therefore, RWI became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company effective July 3, 2017. The Company’s former name,
Gold and Silver Mining of Nevada, Inc. (“CJT”) was changed on April 24, 2017, in expectation of and conditional upon completion
of the Merger. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition with RWI considered the accounting acquirer since the former RWI
shareholders remained in control of the combined entity after the consummation of the transaction. As part of the Merger, net liabilities
of $235,495 were recognized on the Company’s balance sheet. As a result of the Merger, the Company trades on the OTC: Pink under
the symbol RAKR.
On
July 15, 2020, Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ: ANY) announced that it entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which it would
have acquired all the outstanding securities of Rainmaker Worldwide Inc. Upon closing, Sphere 3D’s name would have changed to Rainmaker
Worldwide Inc., and its business model would have focused on Water-as-a-Service (“WaaS”). Rainmaker management would have
assumed operational leadership of the combined entity. The agreement was ultimately terminated on February 12, 2021 and was subsequently
announced publicly.
As
a result of the incomplete Sphere 3D transaction, on March 31, 2021, the Company, including RWI, entered into a business agreement with
RHBV, DRM and WWT. These companies were considered related parties on that date by virtue of stock ownership exceeding 10%. The parties
agreed to an exchange of contractual obligations, debt owed, and shares of common stock in full settlement of all obligations among the
parties. The resultant Financial Statements, in accordance with ASC 205-20-45-1E, reflect the impact of these exchanges to the Company.
The Company and RHBV decided to restructure in order to optimize business operations and broaden access to the capital markets. The Company
and RHBV, as mutual shareholders in each other’s company, continue to pursue the mission and objective of providing low-cost water
to communities and commercial entities in need of water solutions. The Company retains a 12% ownership stake in RHBV.
The
Company is headquartered in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. The Company will utilize two main types of energy-efficient, fresh water-producing/purification
technologies: (1) Air-to-Water (“AW”), which harvests fresh water from humidity and heat in the atmosphere, and (2) Water-to-Water
(“WW”), which transforms seawater or polluted water into drinking water. The technologies can be wind driven, solar based,
or can use conventional power sources, such as grid or generator. It is deployable anywhere and leaves no carbon trace if renewable resources
are deployed.

Impact
of COVID-19
On
March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a pandemic. As a global corporation the economic effects within
the Company’s environment were substantial and there are still lingering economic impacts globally. In global markets, disruptions
in supply chains and increases in related costs have had a real impact on our ability to deliver projects.
Fundamentally,
our the solutions are based on deploying
technology with the following attributes to ensure low-cost delivery and Company profitability:
Air-to-Water
(AW) – Harvests fresh water from airborne
humidity by using advanced heating and cooling technologies. Water-to-WaterThrough (WW) –
Transforms contaminated water (saltwater, sewage, polluted) into safe, clean water by using an environmentally sustainable process. Through
the acquisition of Miranda and RAKR’s own technologytechnologies wethe
Company havehas multiple options to purify wastewater.wastewater to potable water standards.
The
operating efficiency of these technologies allows
us to provide customers with clean water at a price that is highly competitive relative
to traditional alternatives. We substantially
out-perform peer competitors because we can deploy remotely where the water is consumed
and using up to 50% less power than those same
competitors. The compact and scalable systems for AW and WWpurification equipment enable decentralized deployment,
in which water is distributed
directly to the consumption site with no expensive piping or truck transport. AWOur and WWtechnologies are both cost-effective
technology solutions and can be powered by
solar, wind, or grid electricity, or a combination of power sources. TheyAW can produce roughly
5,000 to 150,000 liters of water per unit, per day, depending
on the local conditionsclimatic and the type of unit deployed.conditions.
Currently
in remote locations, the principal source
of supply is bottled water. Accordingly, our solutions are optimally profitable when we compete
head-to-head with bottled water that is
transported or bulk water that is transported by truck to local communities. In most remote communities
where this water is imported,
the minimum cost per liter is US$0.30 reaching as high as US$2.00, according to our market research. The
Company’s fully amortized
cost of water per liter including bottling, operating and maintenance, distribution and other costs allows
us to compete profitably to
generate corporate value beneficial to our shareholders. The market for distilled water supported in part
by WW-based technology, which is essential to more specialized industrial or commercial activities, is expected to increase margins significantly.
The
RAKR business model typically begins with the
identification of a trusted local partner.technology Whenpartner applicable,and the next step is to enter into
JV structures, which maximize value to all stakeholder-parties.distributor. The Rainmaker delivery systems are towill be installed by entering into contracts
withcontracted local
third-party experts that are typically Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (“HVAC”) experts. We work with the end clients
and their general contractors to build the supporting infrastructure required for our systems (i.e. holding tanks, platforms etc.).
In
addition, over the course of the past year, we
have been developing partnerships with highly experienced developers of complementary
technology. That gives RAKR the ability to have
a more comprehensive product set when proposing solutions to communities, developers
and commercial entities. The most significant agreement advance
to date is withthe acquisition of Miranda. On January 22, 2024, RWI finalized the acquisition of Miranda. Miranda has been delivering systems
for more than ten years across 40 countries globally. As a result, their global experience is invaluable to Rainmaker and Rainmaker shareholders.
On
January 22, 2024, RWI finalized the acquisition of Miranda (RAKR owns 40% of RWI). Miranda has been delivering systems for more than
ten years across 40 countries globally. As a result, their global experience is invaluable to Rainmaker and Rainmaker shareholders.
In
the past tentwenty years, there has been a growing
awareness of the shortage of fresh water—and the associated economic and social effects
the problem magnifies in impoverished and
underdeveloped communities. Entities ranging from Water.Org to the United Nations (access to
safe drinking water represents #6 of the
17 Sustainable Development Goals articulated by the United Nations) are at the forefront of
driving international policy momentum and
prospects for multilateral cooperation in the realms of global governance and public-private
co-regulation. Common to these efforts is
the search for scalable and practical solutions that possess applications uniquely suited to
the problem of shortage.
The
above analysis points to a global market for water
that is extraordinarily immense. Today, the annual global water market for all purposes
and uses is $650$880 billion in 2023 and is expected
to expand to $1$1.2 trillion by 2025.2031 (Source: RobecoSAMVerified StudyMarket (2015,Research: Junewww.verifiedmarketresearch.com). Water: the market of
the future).
Applying RAKR’s approach against the purposes and uses defined above, our solutions are tailored to meet roughly 70%
of that global
level of demand.
As
stated previously, our principal suppliers for
the core technologies to be deployed are Miranda and RHBV. Should RHBV not supply the
appropriate scale of technology required by a project,
RAKR has identified multiple technologies of different sizes and types. With the
acquisition of Miranda, we now have complementary technology that we expect to deliver in 2024
to diversify the Rainmaker business model.
The
Rainmaker business model that will deliver potable
water at the source of demand is uniquely positioned to address alternative competitive
models. We believe that competitive models, while
relevant and plausible alternatives, will not ultimately fully support the global level
of demand for water at a reasonable price per
liter. InBy virtue of our current affiliations, we believe we have a cost per liter competitive
advantage. Accordingly, on a global basis,
we do not believe competitive conditions will thwart our ability to produce long-term, corporate
value or significantly diminish our financial
results in the near term. However, other companies with sufficiently greater resources
may develop competing products and have an advantage
over us based on the relative size.
While RAKR is not currently pursuing subsidies and incentives, we believe that over time such programs will be applicable to the Company, and we will pursue them in due course. Over time, RAKR will seek subsidies and incentives through its deployment of technology in underserved countries and particular communities within countries.
Over
time, RAKR will seek subsidies and incentives through its deployment of technology in underserved countries and particular communities
within countries. One example is First Nations in Canada where there is an ongoing and desperate shortage of safe drinkable and general-purpose
water.
We
have indirect access to considerable intellectual property assets
as a consequence of our partial ownership of and variouspartnerships partnerships
with RHBV and Miranda. We believe that this allows us to maintain an edge
in the competitive process from a technological and economic
cost perspective.

Segment Information
Effective for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) ASC 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This standard enhances the disclosure of segment expenses and the measures used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) in evaluating performance.
As the Company has limited revenue, management continues to evaluate its business activities to determine the most relevant financial metrics for assessing performance. Currently, the Company operates as a single reportable segment and does not allocate material costs or expenses across multiple business units.
The Company will continue to monitor its operational growth and assess whether additional segment disclosures become necessary in future periods.
Similar
While we are similar to other development stage companies,
we have now pursued and executed a strategy whereby we have a full suite of products that can deliver distributed water solutions globally.
To date, our products have yet to generate significant revenue. As a result, we have historically suffered
recurring losses and we do
not have the required cash resources to fully execute our business plans.
Historically,
the Company’s major sources of
cash have comprised proceeds from various private offerings of its securities (including common
stock) and debt financings.financing. From 2015 through
to the fiscal year end date December 31, 2023, the Company raised approximately $8.2 million
in gross proceeds from various private offerings
of our common stock and convertible debt. These funds were raised during various stages
of the company and allowed us first to develop
a commercially ready product and as soon as logistics and supply chains allow, deliver
these products into identified projects and begin
to generate revenue. The Company has sustained losses from operations in each fiscal

See
Note 2 toin our condensed financial statements for a discussion
of our significant accounting policies.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2024-03, which amends the disclosure requirements for the disaggregation of income statement expenses. Effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, this update requires public business entities to provide more detailed expense disclosures, including amounts for inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depletion in relevant expense captions. Entities must also disclose total selling expenses annually and a qualitative description of non-disaggregated amounts. Early adoption is permitted. The standard can be applied prospectively or retrospectively.
Until
December 31, 2021, the Company evaluated embedded
conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging to
determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s)
should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative
at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings.
If the conversion feature did not require derivative treatment under ASC
815, the instrument was evaluated under ASC 470-20 Debt with
Conversion and Other Options for consideration of any beneficial conversion
features. On January 1, 2022 the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective method and reviewed and calculated the
impact on the outstanding financial instruments as of this adoption date concluding there was no impact.

Recent Developments – Formation of Mexican Subsidiary
In June 2025, the Company and its subsidiary, Rainmaker Worldwide Inc. (“RWI”), completed the formation of RAKR México S.A. de C.V. (“RMEX”) with a local partner to pursue water and renewable-technology opportunities in Mexico. The local partner holds 56%, RWI holds 25.5%, and the Company holds 18.5%. Including its 12.38% ownership in RWI, the Company’s combined direct and indirect interest in RMEX is approximately 21.7%. As of September 30, 2025, RMEX had not commenced operations other than minimal administrative activity. The investment is accounted for under the equity method, with no gains, losses, or carrying value recognized for the period.
The
Company has generated limited revenue up to present. Operations have been typically focused on business development, market research,
technology research and development activities. The Company had total assets of $50,116 as of December 31, 2024. As of JuneSeptember 30,
2025, 2025,
net assets were $31,596.$104,189.
At
present, the Company executes consulting agreements with experienced executive personnel and senior advisors. Future sales will be heavily
driven by independent distributors and project developers. The Company had no revenue for the quarters ending JuneSeptember 30, 2025 and JuneSeptember
30, 2024 of $34,250 and $143,725, respectively, and had net losses of $543,287$929,521 and $346,172$592,987 for the quarters ending JuneSeptember 30, 2025
and 2024, respectively. The losses in 2025
increased by 57% compared to the same period in 2024.
Currently
in remote locations, the principal source of supply of potable water is bottled
water.bottled. Accordingly, our solutions are optimally profitable
when we compete head-to-head with bottled water that is transported or bulk
water that is transported by truck to local communities.
In most remote communities where this water is imported, the minimum cost per
liter is US$0.30 reaching as high as US$2.00, according
to our market research. The Company’s fully amortized cost of water per
liter including bottling, operating and maintenance, distribution
and other costs allows us to compete profitably to generate corporate
value beneficial to our shareholders. Our wastewater and related
water purification systems are highly efficient when compared to competitors
and in almost all cases will use a fraction of the electricity
to treat the same amount of water.
In addition, over the course of the past year, we have been building partnerships with highly experienced providers of complementary technology. For instance, In Mexico, our strategic partner, LM4, has extensive experience in well drilling, construction, civil works, and transportation and logistics. In addition, LM4 has experienced mechanical and civil engineering capabilities. In Mexico, we are very well positioned to provide a comprehensive set of products and services.

During
the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company
identified an error in its previously issued financial statements related to accrued interest
on a legal judgment originally rendered
in 2016. The judgment, which was upheld on appeal in 2018, accrues interest at a statutory rate
of 5% per annum. The accrued interest
had not been reflected in prior period financial statements. As a result, the Company has restated
its previously issued financial statements
to include the accrued interest. The correction resulted in an increase to accrued liabilities
and a corresponding increase in accumulated
deficit in the affected periods. The total contingent liability recorded as of June September
30, 2025 is $6,390,429$6,446,182 (2024: $6,281,346), which includes
the judgment amount and related interest. The restatement did not impact the
Company’s cash flows or cash balances, as the adjustment
was non-cash in nature. For further details regarding the restatement
and the legal matter, refer to Note 1819 – Restatement of Previously
Issued Financial Statements.
