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. 4 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. 5 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. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS Not Applicable PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS. 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 and do not necessarily represent actual transactions.

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. 8 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. ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 are included herein and consist of: Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm F-1 Balance Sheet F-2 Statements of Operations F-3 Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Deficiency F-4-5 Statements of Cash Flows F-6 Notes to Financial Statements F-7 11 ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND 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. ITEM 8B.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES Our principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements for our fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was Marcum & Kliegman LLP. The following table shows the fees paid or accrued by us during the periods indicated. Year ended Type of Service 2005 2004 --------------- ---- ---- Audit fees (1) $ 95,000 $ 72,500 Audit-Related Fees (2) 10,000 10,000 Tax Fees (3) -- -- All Other Fees (4) -- -- -------- -------- Total $105,000 $ 82,500 ======== ======== (1) Comprised of the audit of our annual financial statements and reviews of our quarterly financial statements. (2) Comprised of services rendered in connection with our capital raising 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. 19 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this Report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized. WATERCHEF, INC. March 22, 2006 /s/ David A. Conway ----------------------------------- Date David A. Conway President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Operating Officer) 20 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. /s/ Marcum & Kliegman LLP ---------------------------------- Marcum & Kliegman LLP New York, New York March 8, 2006 F-1 WATER CHEF, INC.

F-6 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 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 accounts for stock-based compensation according to 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 provision of SFAS No. 123 had been applied for the periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 as follows: F-7 WATER CHEF, INC. (A Development Stage Company Commencing January 1, 2002) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued Years ended December 31, 2005 2004 ------------- ------------- Net loss applicable to common stockholders as reported $ ( 1,234,764) $ ( 5,964,464) Add: Stock-based employee compensation, included in reported net loss -- -- Less: Stock-based employee compensation, net of tax effect determined under fair value method for all awards (121,340) (169,870) ------------- ------------- Pro-forma net loss under fair value method $ ( 1,356,104) $ ( 6,134,334) ============= ============= Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share: As reported $ (0.01) $ (0.05) ============= ============= Pro-forma $ (0.01) $ (0.05) ============= ============= 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. F-8 WATER CHEF, INC. (A Development Stage Company Commencing January 1, 2002) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued 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. F-9 WATER CHEF, INC. (A Development Stage Company Commencing January 1, 2002) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued 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. 4. PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS Patents and trademarks as of December 31, 2005 consist of the following: Patents $ 24,500 Trademarks 1,555 -------- Total cost 26,055 -------- Accumulated amortization (8,798) -------- Patents and Trademarks, Net $ 17,257 ======== Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $1,854 and $1,855, respectively. The following table presents the Company's estimate for amortization expense for each of the five succeeding years and thereafter. F-10 2006 $ 1,854 2007 1,854 2008 1,854 2009 1,854 2010 1,854 2011 and thereafter 7,987 -------- $ 17,257 5. NOTES PAYABLE Notes payable and accrued interest at December 31, 2005 consist of the following: (a) $ 177,116 (b) 846,533 (c) 184,637 -------------- Total $ 1,208,286 ============== (a): These are unsecured notes bearing interest ranging from 10% to 15% per annum, with no specific due date for repayment. An amount due on these notes, inclusive of $93,893 in interest is $177,116, at December 31, 2005. No demands for repayment have been made by the note holder. (b) In April 2001, the Company issued a $400,000 promissory note at an interest rate of 2% per month. In consideration for the issuance of this note, 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock were issued to the note holder and a $74,000 debt discount was recorded and fully amortized in the year ended 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 Company was advanced the following: $100,000 in November 2000, $50,000 in 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: F-11 WATER CHEF, INC. (A Development Stage Company Commencing January 1, 2002) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued 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.

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.

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.

LEASES The Company's lease for its administrative facilities located in Glen Head, New York is on a month to month basis. Rent expense, for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $30,189 and $29,246, respectively. 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. F-15 WATER CHEF, INC. (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.

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.
