PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information included elsewhere in this prospectus. Because this is a summary, it
may not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should
read this prospectus carefully and should consider, among other things, the
matters described under "Risk Factors" beginning on page 4 before making an
investment decision. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this
prospectus to "the Company," "our Company," "we," "our," "us" and similar
expressions refer to Water Chef, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its
predecessors and its subsidiaries.
THE COMPANY
Water Chef, Inc. ("Water Chef") designs and markets water purification
equipment. 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. 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 the PureSafe Water Station (the "PureSafe"), its patented line of
water purification systems. The PureSafe is a turn-key unit that converts
"gray," or bathing grade, water into United States Environmental Protection
Agency ("EPA") grade drinking water.
An investment in our stock involves a substantial degree of risk. See
"Risk Factors."
Our principal executive offices are located at 1007 Glen Cove Avenue,
Suite 1, Glen Head, NY 11545 and our telephone number is (516) 656-0059.
Recent Developments
On May 8, Water Chef entered into a forbearance agreement with
Occidental Engineering Consultants Limited ("Occidental") pursuant to which
Water Chef is obligated to issue 3,000,000 million shares of common stock to
Occidental in exchange for Occidental's agreement to forbear on exercising
certain of its rights and remedies under that certain secured promissory note,
dated May 4, 2001, in the original principal amount of $400,000. The value of
such shares shall be applied first to any penalties due under the registration
rights agreement executed in connection with the forbearance agreement, then to
accrued interest and costs and then to principal due under the note.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. The
following risk factors should be considered carefully in addition to the other
information in this prospectus, including under "Special Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements," before making an investment in our common stock.
Risks Related to Our Business
We have a history of losses. We could continue to incur losses in the future,
and we may never achieve or maintain profitability.
We had net losses of $1.2 million and $3.8 million for the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We had net losses of $490,971 for the
three months ended March 31, 2006. Our accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2006
was approximately $25.1 million. We were not profitable during the last two
years and we may not be profitable in fiscal 2006. Uncertainties still exist
regarding whether or not we will attain profitability. We can provide no
assurance that we will be able to achieve profitable operations in the future.
We may need additional capital to finance existing obligations and to fund our
operations and growth, and we may be unable to obtain additional capital under
terms acceptable to us or at all.
Our capital requirements in connection with our marketing efforts,
continuing product development and purchases of inventory and parts are expected
to be significant for the foreseeable future. In addition, unanticipated events
could cause our revenues to be lower and our costs to be higher than expected,
therefore, creating the need for additional capital. Historically, cash
generated from operations has not been sufficient to fund our capital
requirements, and we have relied upon sales of securities to fund our
operations. We have no current arrangements with respect to, or sources of,
additional financing, and we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient
funds available to meet our working capital requirements, or that we will be
able to obtain capital to finance operations on favorable terms or at all. If we
do not have, or are otherwise unable to secure, necessary working capital, we
may be unable to fund the manufacture of PureSafe units, and we may have to
delay or abandon some or all of our development and expansion plans or otherwise
forego market opportunities, any of which could harm our business.
Our independent registered public accountants have stated in their report that
there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have limited cash resources and have a working capital deficit. Our
independent registered public accountants have stated in their report that they
have a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. By
being categorized in this manner, we may find it more difficult in the short
term to either locate financing for future projects or to identify lenders
willing to provide loans at attractive rates, which may require us to use our
cash reserves in order to expand. Should this occur, and unforeseen events also
require greater cash expenditures than expected, we could be forced to cease all
or a part of our operations. As a result, you could lose your total investment.
Our revenues are dependent upon sales of a single product, and our business will
fail if we do not increase sales of that product.
Our revenues are derived from sales of a single product, the PureSafe.
If we are not able to increase sales of this product, our business will fail.
The PureSafe is a relatively new product in the emerging market for water
purification systems and it is difficult to predict when or if sales of the
PureSafe will increase substantially or at all. We face a substantial risk that
our sales will continue to not cover our operating expenses and that we will
continue to incur operating losses.
3
We have not been paid for a significant number of PureSafe units that have been
shipped to a customer, and we may never receive payment for these items.
In May 2001, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with a
company (the "Sub Distributor") based in Jordan. The Sub Distributor agreed to
purchase no fewer than 100 PureSafe units during 2001 and a minimum of 50 units
in each of 2002 and 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2001, 18 units were
shipped under this agreement. The Company has not received payment for this
shipment. 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 engaged legal counsel in Jordan to pursue
legal remedies and obtain payment for all units shipped. There can be no
assurance that either the Company will obtain payment for units shipped or that
the items will be returned.
We depend on our key personnel and the loss of their services would adversely
affect our operations.
If we are unable to maintain our key personnel and attract new
employees with high levels of expertise in those areas in which we propose to
engage, without unreasonably increasing our labor costs, the execution of our
business strategy may be hindered and our growth limited. We believe that our
success is largely dependent on the continued employment of our senior
management and the hiring of strategic key personnel at reasonable costs. If our
current chief executive officer were unable or unwilling to continue in his
present position, or we were unable to attract a sufficient number of qualified
employees at reasonable rates, our business, results of operations and financial
condition may be materially adversely affected.
We plan to expand and we may be unable to manage our growth.
We intend to grow our business, but we cannot be sure that we will
successfully manage our growth. In order to successfully manage our growth, we
must:
o expand and enhance our administrative infrastructure;
o improve our management, financial and information systems and
controls;
o expand, train and manage our employees effectively; and
o successfully retain and recruit additional employees.
Continued growth could place a further strain on our management,
operations and financial resources. We cannot assure you that our operating and
financial control systems, administrative infrastructure, facilities and
personnel will be adequate to support our future operations or to effectively
adapt to future growth. If we cannot manage our growth effectively, our business
may be harmed.
Difficulties presented by international factors could negatively affect our
business.
A component of our strategy is to expand our international sales
revenues. We believe that we face risks in doing business abroad that we do not
face domestically. Among the international risks we believe are most likely to
affect us are:
o export license requirements for our products;
o exchange rate fluctuations or currency controls;
o the difficulty in managing a direct sales force from abroad;
o the financial condition, expertise and performance of our
international distributors and any future international
distributors;
4
o domestic or international trade restrictions; or
o changes in tariffs.
Any of these factors could damage our business results.
Technological change and competition may render our potential products obsolete.
The water purification industry continues to undergo rapid change,
competition is intense and we expect it to increase. Competitors may succeed in
developing technologies and products that are more effective or affordable than
any that we are developing or that would render our technology and products
obsolete or noncompetitive. Many of our competitors have substantially greater
experience, financial and technical resources and production and development
capabilities than us. Accordingly, some of our competitors may succeed in
obtaining regulatory approval for products more rapidly or effectively than we
can for technologies and products that are more effective and/or affordable than
any that we are developing.
If our sole-source supplier is unable to meet our demands, our business results
will suffer.
We purchase certain key components for some of our products from a
single contract management supplier. For some of these components, there are
relatively few alternative sources of supply. Establishing additional or
replacement suppliers for any of the numerous components used in our products,
if required, may not be accomplished quickly and could involve significant
additional costs. Any supply interruption from our supplier or failure to obtain
alternative vendors for any of the components used to manufacture our products
would limit our ability to manufacture our products. Any such limitation on our
ability to manufacture our products would cause our business results to suffer.
Product liability exposure may expose us to significant liability.
We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability and
other claims and lawsuits in the event that the development or use of our
technology or prospective products is alleged to have resulted in adverse
effects. We may not be able to avoid significant liability exposure. We maintain
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 our products.
Although we believe our insurance coverage to be adequate, we may not have
sufficient insurance coverage, and we may not be able to obtain sufficient
coverage at a reasonable cost. An inability to obtain product liability
insurance at acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product
liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of our products.
A product liability claim could hurt our financial performance. Even if we avoid
liability exposure, significant costs could be incurred that could hurt our
financial performance and condition.
Our inability to protect our intellectual property rights may force us to incur
unanticipated costs.
Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain and
maintain protection in the United States and other countries for certain
intellectual property incorporated into our water purification systems and our
proprietary methodologies. We may be unable to obtain patents relating to our
technology. Even if issued, patents may be challenged, narrowed, invalidated or
circumvented, which could limit our ability to prevent competitors from
marketing similar solutions that limit the effectiveness of our patent
protection and force us to incur unanticipated costs. In addition, existing laws
of some countries in which we may provide services or solutions may offer only
limited protection of our intellectual property rights.
Our products may infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties, and
third parties may infringe our proprietary rights, either of which may result in
lawsuits, distraction of management and the impairment of our business.
As the number of patents, copyrights, trademarks and other
intellectual property rights in our industry increases, products based on our
technology may increasingly become the subject of infringement claims. Third
parties could assert infringement claims against us in the future. Infringement
5
claims with or without merit could be time consuming, result in costly
litigation, cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or
licensing agreements. Royalty or licensing agreements, if required, might not be
available on terms acceptable to us. We may initiate claims or litigation
against third parties for infringement of our proprietary rights or to establish
the validity of our proprietary rights. Litigation to determine the validity of
any claims, whether or not the litigation is resolved in our favor, could result
in significant expense to us and divert the efforts of our technical and
management personnel from productive tasks. If there is an adverse ruling
against us in any litigation, we may be required to pay substantial damages,
discontinue the use and sale of infringing products, expend significant
resources to develop non-infringing technology or obtain licenses to infringing
technology. Our failure to develop or license a substitute technology could
prevent us from selling our products.
Risk Factors Relating to Our Common Stock
Exercise of our warrants or conversion of our convertible preferred stock will
dilute the ownership interest of existing stockholders.
The exercise of our warrants into shares of our common stock will
dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders. Any sales in the public
market of the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of our warrants
or conversion of our convertible preferred stock could adversely affect
prevailing market prices of our common stock. In addition, the existence of the
warrants or the convertible preferred stock may encourage short selling by
market participants due to this dilution or facilitate trading strategies
involving the notes and our common stock.
Future sales of shares of our common stock in the public market could adversely
affect the trading price of shares of our common stock and our ability to raise
funds in new stock offerings.
Future sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock in
the public market, or the perception that such sales are likely to occur, could
affect prevailing trading prices of our common stock and, as a result, the value
of the notes. As of May 10, 2006, we had 194,723,097 shares of common stock
outstanding.
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future, which
could adversely affect the price of our stock.
We, by reason of our anticipated financial status and our contemplated
financial requirements, do not contemplate or anticipate paying any dividends
upon our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any payment of cash dividends
in the future will be dependent upon the amount of funds legally available, the
earnings, financial conditions, capital requirements and other factors that the
board of directors may think are relevant. As a result, you may never receive a
stream of cash payments from dividends, which could adversely affect the price
of our stock.
Although we are subject to the information and reporting requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our common stock is not quoted or traded on a
national exchange and investors in our common stock will be subject to risks
associated with the public trading market generally.
We cannot predict the extent to which a trading market will develop or
how liquid that market might become. If you exercise your warrants and receive
common stock, you will pay a price that was not established in the public
trading markets. You may suffer a loss of your investment.
A significant number of our shares will be available for future sale and could
depress the market price of our stock.
As of May 10, 2006, there were 194,723,097 shares of common stock
outstanding, outstanding warrants to purchase 1,666,667 shares of our common
stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share and 430,000 shares of our common
stock at $0.14 per share, all of them fully vested, 1,736,680 shares of common
stock issuable upon conversion of our Series F convertible preferred stock, and
5,000,000 stock appreciation rights. Sales of large amounts of our common stock
in the market could adversely affect the market price of the common stock and
could impair our future ability to raise capital through offerings of our equity
securities. A large volume of sales by holders exercising the warrants or stock
appreciation rights could have a significant adverse impact on the market price
of our common stock.
6
The market price of our common stock is volatile, leading to the possibility of
its value being depressed at a time when you want to sell your holdings.
The market price of our common stock has in the past been, and may in
the future continue to be, volatile. For instance, between January 1, 2002 and
May 12, 2006, the closing bid price of our common stock has ranged between $0.01
and $0.34. Many factors could cause the market price of our common stock to
fluctuate substantially, including:
o future announcements concerning us, our competitors or other
companies with whom we have business relationships;
o changes in government regulations applicable to our
business;
o changes in market conditions for our industry;
o overall volatility of the stock market and general economic
conditions;
o changes in our earnings estimates or recommendations by
analysts; and
o changes in our operating results from quarter to quarter.
In addition, the stock market in recent years has experienced
significant price and volume fluctuations for reasons unrelated to operating
performance. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our
common stock at a time when you want to sell your interest in us.
Your ability to influence corporate decisions may be limited because our major
stockholders own a large percentage of our common stock.
Our significant stockholders own a substantial portion of our
outstanding stock. As a result of their stock ownership, if these stockholders
were to choose to act together, they would be able to control all matters
submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors
and approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of
our assets. This concentration of voting power could delay or prevent an
acquisition of our Company on terms that other stockholders may desire. In
addition, as the interests of our majority and minority stockholders may not
always be the same, this large concentration of voting power may lead to
stockholder votes that are inconsistent with your best interests or the best
interests of us as a whole.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
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.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 were $115,000 and
$260,000 respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company
recognized the sale of two PureSafe Water Station Systems.
Cost of sales for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 were
$51,000 and $0, respectively. An analysis of the components of cost of sales in
the 2006 and 2005 periods follows:

For the three months ended
March 31, 2005 $ -- $ -- $ --
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March
31, 2006 were $284,971, compared to $347,979 for the three months ended March
31, 2005, a decrease of 18%.
The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $490,971
compared to $4,196 in the same period ended March 31, 2005.
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 were shipped in 2006. During the first quarter of 2006, the Company
recognized $115,000 of revenue for the two units that were shipped.
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:

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 March 31, 2006, the Company had a working capital deficiency of
approximately $3,266,000. In addition, the Company continues to suffer recurring
losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit since inception of
approximately $25,070,000. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial
statements have been prepared assuming that that the Company will continue as a
going concern. Management's plans with respect to these matters include
restructuring its existing debt, raising additional capital through future
issuances of stock and/or equity, and finding sufficient profitable markets for
its products to generate sufficient cash to meet its business obligations.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain
sufficient funds to continue the development of its product, marketing plan and
distribution network. Subsequent to March 31, 2006, the Company sold 4,219,230
shares of common stock for proceeds of $280,000.
On May 8, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with
Occidental Engineering Consultants Limited pursuant to which the Company is
obligated to issue 3,000,000 million shares of common stock to be applied to
accrued interest and costs and then to principal due under certain secured
promissory note, dated May 4, 2001, in the original principal amount of
$400,000. The value of such shares shall be determined in accordance with the
terms of the forbearance agreement and is dependent upon the effective date of
the registration statement covering the resale of such shares.

necessarily mean that the selling securityholders will opt to sell any of the
shares offered hereby. The shares covered by this prospectus may be sold from
time to time by the selling securityholders so long as this prospectus remains
in effect.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the resale of up to 3,000,000 shares of our common
stock issuable pursuant to our forbearance agreement dated as of May 8, 2006. We
will not receive any proceeds from the subsequent sale of this common stock. We
will bear all fees and expenses incident to registering these shares of common
stock.
We are also registering the resale of 8,297,801 shares of common stock
on behalf of the selling securityholders, as well as on behalf of their donees,
pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest, if any, who may sell
shares received as gifts, pledges, distributions or other non-sale related
transfers. Neither we, nor the selling securityholders, have employed an
underwriter for the sale of common stock by the selling securityholders. The
selling securityholders have advised us that they have not entered into any
agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or
10
broker-dealers regarding the sale of their securities, nor is there an
underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale
of the shares by the selling securityholders. We will not receive any proceeds
from the subsequent sale of the shares of common stock. We will bear all
expenses in connection with the preparation of this prospectus and registration
of the shares. The selling securityholders will bear brokerage commissions and
similar selling expenses associated with the sale of their common stock.
If any shares of common stock being registered for resale in the
accompanying registration statement are transferred from the selling
securityholders listed in this prospectus and such transferees wish to rely on
this prospectus to resell these shares, then a prospectus supplement or, if
appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which
this prospectus is a part, would need to be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission naming these individuals as selling securityholders.
The selling securityholders may offer their shares of common stock
from time to time directly or through pledgees, donees, transferees or other
successors in interest in one or more of the following transactions (which may
include block transactions):
o On any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the
shares of common stock may be listed at the time of sale;
o In negotiated transactions;
o In the over-the-counter market;
o Put or call option transactions relating to the shares;
o Short sales relating to the shares; or
o In a combination of any of the above transactions.
The selling securityholders may offer their shares of common stock at
any of the following prices, which may reflect discounts from the prevailing
market prices at the time of sale:
o Fixed prices that may be changed;
o Market prices prevailing at the time of sale;
o Prices related to such prevailing market prices;
o At negotiated prices; or
o Varying prices determined at the time of sale.
The selling securityholders may effect such transactions by selling
shares directly to purchasers or to or through broker-dealers, which may act as
agents or principals. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form
of discounts, concessions, or commissions from the selling securityholders
and/or the purchasers of shares of common stock for whom such broker-dealers may
act as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both (which compensation as
to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions).
Any broker-dealer acquiring common stock from the selling
securityholders may sell the shares either directly, in its normal market-making
activities, through or to other brokers on a principal or agency basis or to its
customers. Any such sales may be at prices then prevailing on the OTCBB or at
prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices to its
customers or a combination of such methods. The selling securityholders and any
broker-dealers that act in connection with the sale of the common stock
hereunder might be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section
11
2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") any
commissions received by such broker-dealers and any profit on the resale of
shares sold by them as principals might be deemed to be underwriting discounts
and commissions under the Securities Act. The selling securityholders may agree
to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in
transactions involving sales of the shares against certain liabilities,
including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
Because selling securityholders may be deemed to be "underwriters"
within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act the selling
securityholders will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act.
The selling securityholders also may resell all or a portion of the
shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, provided they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements
of such Rule.

arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of the
shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or
secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a
post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus

o other facts material to the transaction.
None of the selling securityholders is a broker-dealer or an affiliate
of a broker-dealer.
There can be no assurance that the selling securityholders will sell
any or all of the shares offered by them under this prospectus.
BUSINESS
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 its patented line of "PureSafe" water purification systems. 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, Water Chef
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.
12
PRODUCTS
In 2001, the Company decided to concentrate its efforts on the further
development, manufacturing and marketing of 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
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. Water Chef also plans to have
periodic inspections of installed equipment by the Company's agents.
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.
13
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.
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.
14
During 2004, Water Chef established a relationship with the
International Multiracial Shared Cultural Organization (IMSCO), an NGO
(non-governmental organization) specialized with the Economic and Social Council
of the United Nations. As a result of this relationship Water Chef has received
United Nations certification for its pure water humanitarian projects in
Honduras and Bangladesh, and became eligible to apply for third party funding of
these projects. As of year-end 2004, the Company has submitted these projects
for funding approval, but has received no assurance of funding.
With the recent funding of the Homeland Security Department budget,
and a renewed focus on preparedness in the event of possible future terrorist
attacks in the United States, programs have been initiated to ensure the
protection and preservation of our water resources. Water Chef has been in
discussion with political and government contacts to explore the applications
for the PureSafe as a back-up drinking water system in case of damage to
municipal systems. The Company has also initiated contact with senior government
personnel to explore the use of our technology to safeguard water supplies at
U.S. installations overseas.
PATENTS
The Company filed for patent protection on its PureSafe Water Station
in October of 1998 and received formal notification that the patent had been
issued on February 19, 2002. The Company feels that this patent upholds its
claims that the PureSafe system is a unique product. In addition to its U.S.
patent, the Company has filed for patent protection in the countries of the
European Union, and in Canada, Mexico, China, Hong Kong, Korea and Japan. The
patent application for the European Union (01-126 980.0) was filed on November
13, 2001; Canadian Application No. 2,362,107 was filed on November 3, 2001;
Mexican Application No. PA/a/2001/12042 was filed on November 23, 2001; the
Chinese Application No. 01136187.5 was filed on November 21, 2001, and was found
to be in compliance on June 20, 2003; the Hong Kong Application No. 03107837.9
was filed on October 3, 2003; and the Korean Patent Application No.
10-2001-0070453 was filed on November 20, 2001. Each of the patent applications
has been accepted, Requests for Examination have been made, and the Company
currently has patent protection in the requested venues.
The name PureSafe Water Station and the stylized water droplet mark
have been trademarked in the United States.
Water Chef has also incorporated patented and proprietary technology
in the PureSafe and believes 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 PureSafe 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.
15
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 May 12, 2006, 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.
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.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In May 2001, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with a
company (the "Sub Distributor") based in Jordan. The Sub Distributor has 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.

DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION
Directors of the Company do not receive cash compensation for serving
as members; they are reimbursed for their out of pocket expenses related to
meetings and other Company related activity for which they are called upon. In
the past certain directors have received common stock for service to the
Company.
In 2005, Mr. Sterman was compensated at the rate of $6,000 per month
for consulting services performed for the Company. The Company may pay for these
services in cash or stock, and may terminate these services at its option. There
is $267,500 due to him for this service as of December 31, 2005.
The Company's directors have been paid success fees for helping the
Company in various equity and debt financings in previous years. These payments
have been both in cash and common stock, such payments being made based on
industry-wide standards and arms-length transactions.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
Mr. Conway entered into a five-year employment agreement in January
2004. The agreement provides for base salary of $350,000 per year, participation
in the company's employee benefit programs and a life insurance policy in the
amount of $5,000,000. In addition, Mr. Conway was granted a stock appreciation
right, vesting at 20% per year for five years, for 5,000,000 shares of Water
Chef common stock at a strike price of $0.25 per share. Mr. Conway was
originally granted stock options in January 2004 that were later converted to
stock appreciation rights.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS
The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and
bylaws eliminate, in certain circumstances, the liability of Directors for
breach of their fiduciary duty. This provision does not eliminate the liability
of a Director (i) for breach of the Director's duty of loyalty to the Company or
its stockholders (ii) for acts of omissions by the director not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) for
willful or negligent declaration of an unlawful dividend, stock purchase or
redemption; (iv) for transactions from which the Director derived an improper
personal benefit; or (v) for any act or omission occurring prior to the
effective date of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation
provides generally for indemnification of the Directors and Officers to the full
extent permitted under Delaware law, and permits indemnification for all other
persons whom the Company is empowered to indemnify.
These provisions do not limit or eliminate our rights or those of any
stockholder to seek non-monetary relief, such as an injunction or rescission, in
the event of a breach of a Director's fiduciary duty. These provisions will not
alter a Director's liability under federal securities laws. Our amended and
restated bylaws also contain provisions indemnifying our directors and officers
to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. We
believe that these provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified
individuals to serve as Directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may
be permitted to Directors, officers and controlling persons of the small
business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small
business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

ownership of all persons known by the Company to own beneficially 5% or more of

1. A person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of voting
securities that can be acquired by such person within 60 days
after the record date upon the exercise of options and warrants
and the conversion of convertible securities. Each beneficial
owner's percentage of ownership is determined by assuming that
all options, warrants or convertible securities held by such
person (but not those held by any other person) that are
currently exercisable or convertible (i.e., that are exercisable
or convertible within 60 days after the record date) have been
exercised or converted.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
General
Our authorized capital stock consists of 340,000,000 shares of common
stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 400,000 shares have
been designated Series A Preferred Stock, $.001 par value per share, 400,000
shares have been designated Series C convertible preferred stock, $.001 par
value per share, 400,000 shares have been designated Series D Preferred Stock,
$.001 par value per share, and 1,000,000 shares have been designated Series F
convertible preferred stock, $.001 par value per share.
Except as to certain matters discussed below or as proscribed by
applicable law, the holders of shares of all classes of the capital stock of the
Company vote together as a single class. The holders of our capital stock do not
21
have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of
the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of
the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that event, the holders
of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors.
The following description of our capital stock is based upon our
restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and
applicable provisions of law. We have summarized portions of our restated
certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws below. The summary
is not complete. You should read our certificate of incorporation and amended
and restated bylaws for the provisions that are important to you.
Description of the Common Stock
As of May 10, 2006 there were 194,723,097 shares of common stock
outstanding which were held of record by approximately 814 shareholders.
Prior to filing the Certificate of Amendment on March 22, 2006
increasing our authorized capital stock to 350,000,000, we were authorized to
issue up to 200,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of up to 190,000,000
shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and up to 10,000,000 shares
of preferred stock. There are presently 194,723,097 shares of common stock
outstanding. Total shares issuable upon the exercise of options, warrants and
conversion of preferred stock for the three months ended March 31, 2006 were
11,270,107.
Voting
Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on
all matters to be voted upon by the holders of common stock.
Rights and Preferences
The holders of common stock: (i) have equal ratable rights to
dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our Board of
Directors after all accrued but unpaid dividends have been paid to the holders
of the outstanding capital stock ranking senior to the common stock as to
dividends; (ii) are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for
distribution to the holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of our affairs; and (iii) do not have preemptive, subscription or
conversion rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or
rights.
Our common stock is admitted for trading on the OTCBB under the symbol
"WTER.OB."
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Computershare
Investor Services.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Law and Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation
and Bylaws
Delaware Anti-Takeover Law
We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Section 203 generally prohibits a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a
"business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three
years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested
stockholder, unless:
o prior to the date of the transaction, the Board of Directors
of the corporation approved either the business combination
or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder
becoming an interested stockholder;
o the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting
stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the
transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining
the number of shares outstanding (i) shares owned by persons
who are directors and also officers and (ii) shares owned by
employee stock plans in which employee participants do not
have the right to determine confidentially whether shares
held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or
exchange offer; or
22
o on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the
business combination is approved by the board and authorized
at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by
written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3%
of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the
interested stockholder.
Section 203 defines a business combination to include:
o any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and
the interested stockholder;
o any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition involving
the interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of
the corporation;
o subject to exceptions, any transaction that results in the
issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the
corporation to the interested stockholder; or
o the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of
any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial
benefits provided by or through the corporation.
In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any
entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock
of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with, or controlling, or
controlled by, the entity or person. The term "owner" is broadly defined to
include any person that, individually, with or through that person's affiliates
or associates, among other things, beneficially owns the stock, or has the right
to acquire the stock, whether or not the right is immediately exercisable, under
any agreement or understanding or upon the exercise of warrants or options or
otherwise or has the right to vote the stock under any agreement or
understanding, or has an agreement or understanding with the beneficial owner of
the stock for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the
stock.
The restrictions in Section 203 do not apply to corporations that have
elected, in the manner provided in Section 203, not to be subject to Section 203
of the Delaware General Corporation Law or, with certain exceptions, which do
not have a class of voting stock that is listed on a national securities
exchange or authorized for quotation on the Nasdaq Stock Market or held of
record by more than 2,000 stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation and
amended and restated bylaws do not opt out of Section 203.
Section 203 could delay or prohibit mergers or other takeover or
change in control attempts with respect to us and, accordingly, may discourage
attempts to acquire us even though such a transaction may offer our stockholders
the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market
price.
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and amended and
restated bylaws may delay or discourage transactions involving an actual or
potential change in our control or change in our management, including
transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their
shares, or transactions that our stockholders might otherwise deem to be in
their best interests. Therefore, these provisions could adversely affect the
price of our common stock. Among other things, our restated certificate of
incorporation and amended and restated bylaws:
o provide that the authorized number of directors may be
changed only by resolution of the board of directors;
o provide that all vacancies, including newly created
directorships, may, except as otherwise required by law, be
filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors
then in office, even if less than a quorum; and
23
o do not provide for cumulative voting rights (therefore
allowing the holders of a majority of the shares of common
stock entitled to vote in any election of directors to elect
all of the directors standing for election, if they should
so choose).
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the securities offered under this prospectus will be
passed upon for us by Olshan Grundman Frome Rosenzweig & Wolosky LLP, New York,
New York. As of May 12, 2006, Olshan Grundman Frome Rosenzweig & Wolosky LLP
owns 5,000 shares of the Company's Series F convertible preferred stock.

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

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

Revenue Recognition - Revenues are recognized when product is shipped, title
passes and collectibility is reasonably assured. Allowances for estimated bad
debts, sales allowances and discounts are provided when such sales are recorded.
Inventories - Inventories consists of finished goods and are stated at the lower
of cost or market utilizing the first-in, first-out method. As of December 31,
2005, inventory was comprised of $30,000 of finished goods.
Shipping and Handling Costs - Shipping and handling costs are expensed as
incurred as part of cost of sales. These costs were deemed to be immaterial
during each of the reporting periods.
Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising
costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, were
deemed immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Income Taxes - Income taxes are accounted for under SFAS No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes," which is an asset and liability approach that requires the
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial
statements or tax returns. Valuation allowances are established when necessary
to reduce deferred assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

Loss Per Share - Basic loss per share was computed using the weighted average
number of outstanding common shares. Diluted loss per share includes the effect
of dilutive common stock equivalents from the assumed exercise of options,
warrants and convertible preferred stock. Common stock equivalents were excluded
in the computation of diluted loss per share since their inclusion would be
anti-dilutive. Total shares issuable upon the exercise of options, warrants and
the conversion of preferred stock and convertible debt for the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004, were 21,270,105 and 34,230,804, respectively.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts of the financial
instruments reported in the balance sheet approximate their fair market value
due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - In the event that facts and circumstances
indicate that the cost of an asset may be impaired, an evaluation of
recoverability would be performed. If an evaluation is required, the estimated
future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset would be compared to
the asset's carrying amount to determine if a write-down to fair value is
required.
Research and Development - Research and development costs consist of
expenditures incurred during the course of planned research and investigation
aimed at the discovery of new knowledge, which will be useful in developing new
products or processes. The Company expenses all research and development costs
as incurred. There were no research and development costs incurred during the
years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123R, "Share Based
Payment." This statement is a revision of SFAS Statement No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation" and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance. SFAS 123R
addresses all forms of share based payment ("SBP") awards including shares
issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and
stock appreciation rights. Under SFAS 123R, SBP awards result in a cost that
will be measured at fair value on the awards' grant date, based on the estimated
number of awards that are expected to vest. This statement is effective for
public entities that file as small business issuers - as of the beginning of the
first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005.
The Company believes the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material
impact on the Company's financial statements, whereby the Company, upon
adoption, expects to record a charge for the granting of future employee stock
options.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154 - Accounting for Change in Error
Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. This
statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes" and FASB Statement
No. 3 "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements," and
changes the requirement for the accounting for and reporting changes in
accounting principles. This statement applies to changes required by an
accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not
include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific
transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. This statement is
effective for accounting changes and corrects errors made in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2005.

The application of this pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on the
Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In September 2005, the FASB ratified the following consensus reached in Emerging
Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue 05-8 ("Income Tax Consequences of Issuing
Convertible Debt with a Beneficial Conversion Feature"): a) the issuance of
convertible debt with a beneficial conversion feature results in a basis
difference in applying FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No.
109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Recognition of such a feature effectively
creates a debt instrument and a separate equity instrument for book purposes,
whereas the convertible debt is treated entirely as a debt instrument for income
tax purposes. b) the resulting basis difference should be deemed a temporary
difference because it will result in a taxable amount when the recorded amount
of the liability is recovered or settled. c) recognition of deferred taxes for
the temporary difference should be reported as an adjustment to additional
paid-in capital. This consensus is effective in the first interim or annual
reporting period commencing after December 15, 2005, with early application
permitted. The effect of applying the consensus should be accounted for
retroactively to all debt instruments containing a beneficial conversion feature
that are subject to EITF Issue 00-27,,"Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain
Convertible Debt Instruments" (and thus is applicable to debt instruments
converted or extinguished in prior periods but which are still presented in the
financial statements).
The application of this pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on the
Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
EITF reached a tentative conclusion on EITF Issue No. 05-1, "Accounting for the
Conversion of an Instrument that Becomes Convertible upon the Issuer's Exercise
of a Call Option" that no gain or loss should be recognized upon the conversion
of an instrument that becomes convertible as a result of an issuer's exercise of
a call option pursuant to the original terms of the instrument. The consensus
for EITF No. 05-1 has not been finalized.
The application of this pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on the
Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In June 2005, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 05-2, "The Meaning of
`Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument' in EITF Issue No. 00-19, Accounting
for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a
Company's Own Stock" ("EITF No. 05-2"), which addresses when a convertible debt
instrument should be considered `conventional' for the purpose of applying the
guidance in EITF No. 00-19. EITF No. 05-2 also retained the exemption under EITF
No. 00-19 for conventional convertible debt instruments and indicated that
convertible preferred stock having a mandatory redemption date may qualify for
the exemption provided under EITF No. 00-19 for conventional convertible debt if
the instrument's economic characteristics are more similar to debt than equity.
EITF No. 05-2 is effective for new instruments entered into and instruments
modified in periods beginning after June 29, 2005.
The Company has applied the requirements of EITF No. 05-2, (See Note 6) with
respect to the impact of this pronouncement on the Company's financial
statements.
In June 2005, the EITF reached consensus on Issue No. 05-6, "Determining the
Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements" (EITF 05-6). EITF 05-6 provides
guidance on determining the amortization period for leasehold improvements
acquired in a business combination or acquired subsequent to lease inception.
The guidance in EITF 05-6 will be applied prospectively and is effective for
periods beginning after June 29, 2005. EITF 05-6 will not have a material impact
on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In September 2005, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 05-7, "Accounting for
Modifications to Conversion Options Embedded in Debt Instruments and Related
Issues" ("EITF No. 05-7"), which addresses whether a modification to a
conversion option that changes its fair value affects the recognition of
interest expense for the associated debt instrument after the modification and
whether a borrower should recognize a beneficial conversion feature, not a debt
extinguishment, if a debt modification increases the intrinsic value of the debt
(for example, the modification reduces the conversion price of the debt). EITF
No. 05-7 is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning
after December 15, 2005.
The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect that the
adoption of this pronouncement will have on its financial statements.
EITF Issue No. 05-4 "The Effect of a Liquidated Damages Clause on a Freestanding
Financial Instrument Subject to EITF Issue No. 00-19, `Accounting for Derivative
Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own
Stock" ("EITF No. 05-4") addresses financial instruments, such as stock purchase
warrants, which are accounted for under EITF 00-19 that may be issued at the
same time and in contemplation of a registration rights agreement that includes
a liquidated damages clause. The consensus for EITF No. 05-4 has not been
finalized. In November 2005 the Company issued a convertible promissory note, a
registration rights agreement and warrants (See Note 6). Based on the
interpretive guidance in EITF Issue No. 05-4, Due to certain factors and the
liquidated damage provision in the registration rights agreement, the Company
determined that the embedded conversion option and the warrants are derivative
liabilities and the registration statement becoming effective on January 30,
2006, the value of the registration rights was deemed to be de minims.

(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.

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.

WATER CHEF, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Convertible Promissory Note agreement required the Company to file a
registration statement no later than sixty business days and no less than the
amount of subscribed shares, and to cause the registration statement relating to
the registrable securities to become effective the earlier of five business days
after notice from the Securities and Exchange Commission that the registration
statement may be declared effective, or (b) one hundred twenty days.
The Convertible Promissory Note agreement included a liquidated damages clause,
which stipulates if the registration statement is not filed by the filing date
or declared effective by the effective date, then upon failure of either event
the subscriber shall be entitled to liquidated damages, payable in cash, in the
sum of one percent (1%) of the principal amount of the Note:
a. for each 30 day period after the filing date that transpires
until the date that the Company files the registration statement,
and
b. for each 30 day period after the effective date that transpires
until such date as the registration statement is declared
effective.
The gross proceeds of $250,000 were recorded net of a discount of $188,000. The
debt discount consisted of $47,200 related to the warrants and $140,800 related
to the embedded conversion option. The warrants and the embedded conversion
option were accounted for under EITF issue No. 00-19 "Accounting for Derivative
Financial Instruments Index to and Potentially Settled in a Company's Own Stock"
and EITF 05-4, view A "The effect of a Liquidated Damages Clause on a
Freestanding Financial Instrument." Due to certain factors and the liquidated
damage provision in the registration rights agreement, the Company determined
that the embedded conversion option and the warrants are derivative liabilities.
Accordingly, the warrants and the embedded conversion option will be marked to
market through earnings at the end of each reporting period. Due to the fact
that the registration statement became effective on January 30, 2006, the value
of the registration rights was deemed to be de minims. The warrants and the
conversion option are valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. For the
year ended December 31, 2005, the Company reflected a gain of $5,800
representing a change in the value of the warrants and conversion option. The
debt discount of $188,000 is being accreted over a period of four months and as
a result, a charge of $75,200 was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2005.
This Convertible Promissory Note is secured by 4,000,000 shares held by an
officer of the Company. The balance due under this note at December 31, 2005 is
$250,000 plus accrued interest of $2,500. The Company incurred fees of
approximately $7,500 at the closing date of the note. These costs have been
capitalized as of December 31, 2005 as deferred financing costs and will be
amortized to interest expense over the life of the note and for the year ended
December 31, 2005, $2,813 has been amortized.
7. LOANS PAYABLE - STOCKHOLDER
At December 31, 2004, the Company is obligated to its Chief Executive Officer

terms and the stockholder has agreed not to demand payment until July 1, 2007 at
the earliest. The Company has reported the obligation as a long-term liability
on the balance sheet.

of Series A preferred stock then outstanding, plus a sum equal to all dividends
(whether or not earned or declared) on such shares accrued and unpaid thereon to

Series F:
In April 2003, management authorized the Company to raise up to $550,000 through
a private placement by issuing 10% two-year convertible preferred instruments.
The preferred, designated as Series F, and provided for one million shares in

accrued dividends payable is 40 shares of common for each share of preferred
stock. The Series F convertible preferred stockholders have voting rights equal
to the common stockholders. The Series F convertible preferred stock has no
stated rights in the assets of the Company upon liquidation.
Although there was a discount upon the issuance of all of the Series F preferred
stock in accordance with EITF 98-5, a security is not yet convertible if certain
contingencies exist which are dependent upon the occurrence of a future event
outside the control of the security holder. In this case, the shares can only be
converted into common stock after the stockholders of the Company approve an
increase in the authorized capital stock of the corporation. In accordance with
EITF 98-5, any beneficial conversion (discount) feature is measured at the
commitment date, but will not be recognized as an adjustment to earnings until
the contingency is resolved, (the date the increase in shares are approved). In
June 2004, the Company voted and approved a proposal to amend the Certificate of
Incorporation to increase the Company's authorized capital stock from
100,000,000 to 200,000,000 shares, consisting of 190,000,000 shares of common
stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. During June 2004, the Company
recorded the deferred contingent beneficial conversion adjustment of $2,072,296
as a deemed dividend since the contingency was resolved.

warrants had a life of five years and were to have expired in March 2002. In the
year ended December 31, 2000, a total of 333,334 common shares were issued upon
the exercise of a like number of warrants, for net proceeds of $50,000. Of the

warrants had their lives extended for an additional two years until March 2004
and then later for another twelve months until March 2005. The remaining balance
of 500,000 warrants was not extended, and accordingly they have expired. The
extension of the exercise date was part of a settlement that the Company had
reached with certain debenture holders that had brought a legal action against
the Company. In June 2005, the Company extended for the second time the life of
the warrants for one year. The Company recorded an additional charge of $74,700,
which has been included in the statements of operations.
The fair value of each stock option, or warrant granted, is estimated on the

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.
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.
F-19
WATER CHEF, INC.
(A Development Stage Company Commencing January 1, 2002)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Continued
The valuation allowance relates to the federal and state net operating losses
for which utilization in future periods is uncertain. The ultimate realization
of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income
during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The
Company considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in
making this assessment. Based on projections for future taxable income over the
periods that the deferred tax assets are deductible, the Company believes it is
more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these
deductible differences in the near future and therefore a full valuation
allowance of $6,950,000 is provided. The valuation allowance increased
approximately $50,000 during 2005 related to increased net operating losses.
14. MAJOR CUSTOMERS
Sales for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $260,000 and $56,290,
respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company recognized
the sale of five PureSafe Water Station Systems. Four of these were purchased
for use in Ecuador and the fifth system was purchased by a humanitarian buyer to
be used as part of the tsunami relief effort in Sri Lanka. In addition, Water
Chef received deposits totaling $115,000 during 2005 for relief effort systems
that will be shipped in 2006.
15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In January 1, 2004, the Company entered into a 5 year employment agreement with
its Chief Executive Officer ("Employee"). The Company agreed to pay to the
Employee for the services to be rendered a base salary at an annual rate of
three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The Company granted to its employee a
five-year option for 5,000,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock
for an option price of $.25 per share. The option will vest in fifty equal,
consecutive monthly increments of 100,000 shares each on the first day of each
month beginning with January of 2004 and ending with February of 2008. Those
options were converted to stock appreciation rights in November 2004. As of
December 31, 2005, approximately $442,400 was owed and is included on the
balance sheet as part of accrued compensation.
In March 9, 2004, the Company extended for two additional years the consulting
agreement with a director. The Company agreed to increase his monthly payment to
$10,000 per month. The Company also gave him the right to purchase one million
shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.25 per share, such right
to vest at the rate of 50% per year. Those options were converted to stock
appreciation rights in November 2004. For each of the years ended December 31,
2005 and 2004, the Company has incurred a charge of $120,000, which has been
included in the statement of operations as part of selling general and
administrative costs. In addition, the director earned approximately $25,000 of
director fees.
16. CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains its cash in accounts with major financial institutions in
the United States. From time to time, these balances may exceed the amounts of
insurance provided on such deposits. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has a
credit risk exposure of approximately $153,700.
17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On March 14, 2006, the shareholders of the Company approved an increase in the
authorized capital stock of the Company from 200 million shares to 350 million
shares, comprised of 340 million shares of common stock and 10 million shares of

WATER CHEF, INC.
(A Development Stage Company Commencing January 1, 2002)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Water Chef, Inc. (the "Company"), is a Delaware corporation currently engaged in
the design and marketing of water dispensers and purification equipment both
inside and outside the United States. The Company's corporate headquarters are
located in Glen Head, New York.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial
statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for
annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to make the
financial statements not misleading have been included.
The operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2006 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2006. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB, filed on March 22, 2006, for the year ended December 31,
2005.
DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
The Company is in the development stage as defined by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") Statement No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting for
Development Stage Companies." To date, the Company has generated limited sales
and has devoted its efforts primarily to developing its products, implementing
its business and marketing strategy and raising working capital through equity
financing or short-term borrowings.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes its revenue when products are shipped and or title passes
and collection is reasonably assured.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for employee stock transactions
in accordance with Accounting Principle Board, APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees." The Company had adopted the pro forma disclosure
requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting
For Stock-Based Compensation."
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R "Share Based
Payment." This statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123, and supersedes APB
Opinion No. 25, 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 will result in a charge to
operations that will be measured at fair value on the awards grant date, based
on the estimated number of awards expected to vest over the service period.
Prior to the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 123R, SFAS No.123 required that the
Company provide pro-forma information regarding net earnings and net earnings
per share as if the Company's stock based awards had been determined in
accordance with with the fair value method prescribed therein. The Company had
previously adopted the disclosure portion of SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure," requiring quarterly SFAS
No.123 pro-forma disclosure. The pro-forma charge for compensation cost related
to stock-based awards granted was recognized over the service period. For stock
options, the service period represents the period of time between the date of
grant and the date each option becomes exercisable without consideration of
acceleration provisions (e.g., retirement, change of control, etc.)
No disclosure has been presented for the three months ended March 31, 2005, due
to the fact that all of the employee stock options were fully vested as of
December 31, 2004 and the Company did not grant any options during the three
months ended March 31, 2005.

(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring
losses from operations, an accumulated deficit since its inception of
approximately $25,070,000 and has a working capital deficiency of approximately
$3,266,000 at March 31, 2006. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans with
respect to these matters include restructuring its existing debt, settling its
existing debt by issuing shares of its common stock and raising additional
capital through future issuance of stock and or debentures. However, there can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient funds to
continue the development of its product, marketing plan and distribution
network.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4 - RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 155, which is an amendment of SFAS No. 133 and 140. This Statement; a)
permits fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that
contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, b)
clarifies which interest-only strip and principal-only strip are not subject to
the requirements of SFAS 133, c) establishes a requirement to evaluate interests
in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding
derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded
derivative requiring bifurcation, d) clarifies that concentrations of credit
risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, e) amends SFAS
140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from
holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest
other than another derivative financial instrument. This Statement is effective
for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006.
Earlier adoption of this Statement is permitted as of the beginning of an
entity's fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued any financial
statements for that fiscal year. Management is evaluating if this Statement will
have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Company.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, which amends FASB Statement No.
140. This Statement establishes, among other things, the accounting for all
separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement
amends SFAS No. 140 to require that all separately recognized servicing assets
and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable.
This Statement permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of
separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value.
An entity that uses derivative instruments to mitigate the risks inherent in
servicing assets and servicing liabilities is required to account for those
derivative instruments at fair value. Under this Statement, an entity can elect
subsequent fair value measurement to account for its separately recognized
servicing assets and servicing liabilities. By electing that option, an entity
may simplify its accounting because this Statement permits income statement
recognition of the potential offsetting changes in fair value of those servicing
assets and servicing liabilities and derivative instruments in the same
accounting period. This Statement is effective for financial statements for
fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption of this
Statement is permitted as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year, provided
the entity has not yet issued any financial statements for that fiscal year.
Management believes that the adoption of this Statement will not have a
significant impact on its financial statements.
NOTE 5 - CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
In November 2005, the Company entered into a Convertible Promissory Note
agreement for $250,000 which included 430,000 warrants, which are exercisable at
$0.14 per share and have a life of three years. The warrants carry a cashless
exercise provision. The Convertible Promissory Note bears interest at a rate of
8% per annum and matured in March 2006.
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.
F-27
WATER CHEF, INC.
(A Development Stage Company Commencing January 1, 2002)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
The Convertible Promissory Note agreement required the Company to file a
registration statement no later than sixty business days from the date of the
agreement and no less than the amount of subscribed shares, and to cause the
registration statement relating to the registrable securities to become
effective the earlier of five business days after notice from the Securities and
Exchange Commission that the registration statement may be declared effective,
or (b) one hundred twenty days.
The Convertible Promissory Note agreement included a liquidated damages clause,
which stipulates if the registration statement is not filed by the filing date
or declared effective by the effective date, then upon failure of either event
the subscriber shall be entitled to liquidated damages, payable in cash, in the
sum of one percent (1%) of the principal amount of the Note:
a. for each 30 day period after the filing date that transpires until the date
that the Company files the registration statement, and
b. for each 30 day period after the effective date that transpires until such
date as the registration statement is declared effective.
The gross proceeds of $250,000 were recorded net of a discount of $188,000. The
debt discount consisted of $47,200 related to the warrants and $140,800 related
to the embedded conversion option. The warrants and the embedded conversion
option were accounted for under EITF issue No. 00-19 "Accounting for Derivative
Financial Instruments Indexed 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 minimis. The warrants and the
conversion option are valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. For the
period ended March 31, 2006, the Company reflected a loss of $114,200
representing the change in the value of the warrants and conversion option. The
Company charged to interest expense $112,800 for the remaining debt discount.
During the period ended March 31, 2006, the Company issued 438,750 shares of
common stock for the partial settlement of $48,087 of the debt and $398 of
accrued interest.
This Convertible Promissory Note is secured by 4,000,000 shares held by an
officer of the Company.
Subsequent to March 31, 2006, the Company issued 2,573,762 shares of common
stock for the settlement of the remaining $201,913 principal and accrued
interest of $6,064.
NOTE 6 - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
Basic loss per share was computed using the weighted average number of
outstanding common shares. Diluted loss per share includes the effect of
dilutive common stock equivalents from the assumed exercise of options, warrants
and convertible preferred stock. Common stock equivalents were excluded in the
computation of diluted loss per share since their inclusion would be
anti-dilutive. Total shares issuable upon the exercise of options, warrants and
conversion of preferred stock for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005
were 11,270,107 and 31,325,702, respectively.

and costs and then to principal due under certain secured promissory note, dated
May 4, 2001, in the original principal amount of $400,000. The value of such
shares shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the forbearance
agreement and is dependent upon the effective date of the registration statement
covering the resale of such shares.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a
corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and
individuals against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or
proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being
or having been a director, officer, employee or agent to the Registrant. The
Delaware General Corporation Law provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of
other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any
bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
Section 5.1 of the Registrant's amended and restated bylaws and Section 8 of our
restated certificate of incorporation provide that the Registrant shall
indemnify its directors and officers, and may indemnify its employees and other
agents, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a
corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of
the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for
unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or
other distributions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived
an improper personal benefit. The Registrant's certificate of incorporation
provides for such limitation of liability.
The Registrant maintains standard policies of insurance under which
coverage is provided (a) to its directors, officers, employees and other agents
against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other
wrongful act, and (b) to the Registrant with respect to payments which may be
made by the Registrant to such officers and directors pursuant to the above
indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.
Item 25. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.
The following table sets forth the various expenses (other than
selling commissions and other fees to be paid to the underwriters) which will be
paid by the Registrant in connection with the issuance and distribution of the
securities being registered. With the exception of the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") registration fee, all amounts shown are estimates.

Item 28. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act");
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,
individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in
the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation
from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more
than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any additional or changed material information;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do
not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3,
and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration
statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
