Our water filtration and alternative energy systems will have neural sensors, controls and networks - all connected to a cellular device. The Company has aggregated technologies to produce a water filtration system. CETI will be outsourcing the production of its water filtration systems. However, the Company intends to generate revenues from its revenue share with its clients. At this time CETI has not entered into any outsourcing agreements with third parties.
We are an exploration stage company with limited revenues and operating history. Our independent auditor has issued an audit opinion which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We currently own the mineral rights to a 479- acre, 33-well, Pilot Oil Field located in Callahan County, Texas.

Business of the Cyber Enviro-Tech, Inc.;
Cyber Enviro-Tech, Inc is a water science technology company focusing on the remediation of contaminated industrial wastewater with an initial emphasis on the oil & gas industry. We do this by integrating technologies to include cyber, aerospace, satellite, industrial and AI engineering telemetry. Our water filtration, waste water and alternative energy systems will have neural sensors, controls and networks - all connected to a cellular device. Our pilot project, where we are the operator of record, is on a 479-acre, 33-well, oil field in Callahan County, Texas. Approximately a third of them have been converted from the old pumper jack systems to CETI’s current system.
The Company is also testing its oil water filtration machine in a few locations Southwest Texas. Upon successful completion, the Company has preliminary agreements in place to expand to at least three other locations in Texas.
During 2023, the Company purchased the licensing to several patents from KAM Biotechnology, Ltd. These patents enhance the Company’s ability to treat wastewater in an environmentally friendly manner.
Our focus for the current fiscal year will be on:
1) | Expanding our water and oil filtration operations in the Middle East and Texas |
2) | Developing in initial commercial tests with at least one significant meat packing client |
3) | Further developing oil production on 479-acre Pilot Oil Field in Callahan County, Texas. |

Sales Strategy – CETI’s B2B Sales Strategy will include partnering with individuals and companies who have many years of experience and developed relationships within their respective aforementioned targeted verticals. Prior knowledge of those specific industry issues, water filtration needs, history and relationships developed over many years will enable them to shorten the sales cycle for our water filtration system. As of December 31, 2023 the Company has independent services contracts with three individuals for its B2B sales strategy – two in oil and gas and one in the meat packing industry.
Market Demand and Size - CETI’s water filtration system can be modified to address many of the water contamination issue that exists anywhere in the world. The markets envisioned for the CETI water filtration system when funds permit would be both domestic (U.S.) and global.
Government Regulation
We are subject to government regulations that regulate businesses generally, such as compliance with regulatory requirements of federal, state, and local agencies and authorities, including regulations concerning workplace safety and labor relations. In addition, our operations are affected by federal and state laws relating to marketing practices in the oil industry. expansion of operations; a change to or changes to government regulations; a general economic slowdown; a significant decrease in the price of West Texas Intermediate crude. Any change in one or more of these factors could reduce our ability to earn and grow revenue in future periods.
Research and Development
We have invested $34,500 in research and development of our oil/water filtration machine as well as approximately $2.6 million in getting our Pilot Oil Field project (the Alvey Ranch) back into production. The former has been expensed and the latter capitalized.
Personnel
As of December 31, 2023, we have no employees but the Company does have 12 full-time and part-time consultants. .
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
As a "smaller reporting company," as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
None.
Item 2. Properties.
Our executive offices are located at 6991 E. Camelback Road, Suite D-300, Scottsdale, AZ 85251. We rent an executive office at the cost of $125/month and it is rented on a month-to-month basis. The directors and officers of the company generally work from their home offices.
On February 10, 2021, CETI entered into an agreement with Danny Hyde, former operator of the Alvey Ranch oil field, to take over as the operator of record. Danny Hyde died during 2021 and at the end of 2021, we renegotiated with the Estate of Danny Hyde (“EDH”) where CETI is to receive a higher percentage of the Working Interest (gross revenue less royalty payments to the landowners). Of the 100% working interest under the December 31, 2021 agreement between EDH and CETI, EDH receives 18.75% less its share of all operating costs, taxes, shipping and other expenses associated with the rework, production and delivery of oil from the existing wells on the Alvey Oil Field. Said 18.75% working interest is to be paid in perpetuity. The remaining 81.25% working interest is to be paid to CETI less its share of taxes, shipping and other expenses associated with the rework, production and delivery of oil from the existing wells on the Alvey. For any new wells put into production by CETI, the working interest to EHD, less all its expenses, is 5%.
In addition to the working interest payments due to EDH from well production, EDH will receive $450,000 to be paid in installments. As of December 31, 2023, the remaining amount owed is $343,500.
Our focus for the current fiscal year will be on further locating and developing new working interest opportunities, while continuing to pursue acquisition of new leases and/or existing oil and gas wells which have potential for production based on the addition of our water filtration system, if revenues warrant.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
We are not a party to legal proceedings. However, CETI owes $343,500 to EDH but the Company maintains that EDH owes CETI over $400,000 for unreimbursed working interest expenses. No lawsuits have been filed and discussions are ongoing.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

Trades in our common stock may be subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, which imposes requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities subject to the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by the rule, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for purchasers of the securities and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction before the sale.
Our shares are subject to rules applicable to "penny stock" which pertain to any equity security with a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share. Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, which specifies information about penny stocks and the nature and significance of risks of the penny stock market. A broker-dealer must also provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer, and sales person in the transaction, and monthly account statements indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in our shares.
Dividend Policy
We have not paid or declared any cash dividends on our common stock in the past and do not foresee doing so in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain any future earnings for the operation and expansion of our business. Any decision as to future payment of dividends will depend on the available earnings, the capital requirements of our Company, our general financial condition and other factors deemed pertinent by our Board of Directors.

Sales Strategy – CETI’s B2B Sales Strategy will include partnering with individuals and companies who have many years of experience and developed relationships within their respective aforementioned targeted verticals. Prior knowledge of those specific industry issues, water filtration needs, history and relationships developed over many years will enable them to shorten the sales cycle for our water filtration system. As of March 1, 2024, the Company has agreements with several individuals who are pursuing a variety of opportunities but no contracts with have been ratified so far.
Market Demand and Size - CETI’s water filtration system can be modified to address many of the water contamination issue that exists anywhere in the world. The markets envisioned for the CETI Water system when funds permit would be both domestic (U.S.) and global.

Revenues. Revenue is only $23,649 and decreased by 72% since we are still in our development phase on our Pilot Oil Project in West Texas. However, this decrease is off of a small base in 2022 ($85,356) and overall minimal.
Cost of Sales. Decreased by 72% in alignment with the decreased sales volume during 2023.
Adjusted Gross Sales. Decreased by 72% due to decreased volume during 2023.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 were up by 481% vs 2022 largely due increased travel expenses as the Company looks to develop markets for its products both nationally and internationally. Travel expenses make up over half of all general and administrative expenses in 2023.
Professional fees. These fees are largely made up of audit and audit-related fees ($92,552 and $48,652 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively). The increase in audit/audit-related fees is largely due to increases from our auditors and as well as the filing of an S-1 Registration in November 2023.
Consulting fees. Increased by 741% due to a full year of paying consultants working in various capacities including management, field work, research, sales, marketing and legal advisory services. In addition, the Company expanded its business development of wastewater remediation both internationally and to other verticals including meat processing and oil reclamation sites. A majority of this amount was paid in the form of stock, warrants and options (73%).

Other Income (Expense). Much of this is related to the issuance and conversion of convertible debentures used to raise money for the Company’s operations. $3,733,000 and $1,210,000 was raised by the sale of convertible debentures in 2023 and 2022, respectively. During 2022, $2,250,000 of convertible debentures from 2022 and 2021 were exchanged for common shares of stock. Since convertible debentures issued before March 31, 2022 did not contain a floor price, estimates needed to be performed to determine the change in fair value of the derivatives, loss on issuance of derivatives as well as gain on extinguishment of debt when the debentures were converted to common shares. In addition, the interest expense of $1,152,933 was largely due to the amortization of debt discount of $1,111,820. In addition, debenture holders in 2023 converted in shorter time periods resulting in less interest paid in 2023 vs 2022.
During 2023 vs 2022, there were two other changes. First, we took out loans from a company that provides the option for CETI to pay back in either cash or stock. As such, just for this company, we do have derivative accounting as noted above. Second, there is amortization of intangible assets which relates to CETI’s licensing agreement with KAM Biotechnology, Ltd.
Net Income (Loss). The above changes resulted in net loss of 4,343,104 in 2023 compared to net income of $1,479,362 in 2022. The losses in 2023 were largely due to consulting expenses and the gains for 2022 were largely due to derivative accounting as noted in “Other Income (Expense)” above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had total assets of $5,398,615 including current assets of $558,847. We also have current liabilities of $814,491 which consist of accounts payable of $220,214, accrued interest of $96,623 and short-term loans net of discount of $154,154 and a note payable of $343,500. We also have $3,085,714 of long-term liabilities largely consisting convertible notes of $2,641,000. We believe our ability to achieve commercial success and continued growth will be dependent upon our continued access to capital either through sale of additional convertible debentures, sale of our equity or cash generated from operations. We will attempt to obtain additional capital through private investors; however, we have no agreements or understandings with third parties at this time in regards to investing additional monies.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Cyber Enviro-Tech Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Cyber Enviro-Tech Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the two years ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3, the Company just began operations and has insufficient revenue. These factors, and the need for additional financing in order for the Company to meet its business plans raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2022.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Cyber Enviro-Tech, Inc. (the “Company”) is a publicly held water science technology company that designs water purification solutions for commercial applications and industries. Its pilot project is on a 479-acre oil field in West Texas called the Alvey Oil Field. The corporate headquarters are located in Scottsdale, Arizona.
On
September 3, 2020, Synergy Management Group, LLC (“Synergy”) and Global Environmental
Technologies, Inc (“Global”), which was formed on April 20, 2020, entered into a securities purchase agreement, whereby
Synergy sold its share of Special 2020 Series A preferred stock and its one-half share of Series C preferred stock to Global for $
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (“Topic 606”). Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company expects to recognize revenues as the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied.
The Company recognizes sales when oil is picked up by the delivery company and control passes to the customer.
Cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly
liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were
F-7 |
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Cost of improvements that substantially extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed when incurred. When other property and equipment is sold or retired, the capitalized costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from their respective accounts.

cover the estimated future asset retirement obligations ("ARO") related to its oil and gas properties, the Company maintains

Revisions to the liability could occur due to changes in estimated abandonment costs, changes in well economic lives, or if federal or state regulators enact new requirements regarding the abandonment of wells
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, as set forth in Topic 360 of the ASC, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its non-oil and gas long-lived assets when events occur that indicate an impairment in value may exist. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. If this occurs, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets.
Intangible Assets
The Company recognizes intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350. Intangible assets are defined as identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance, acquired through purchase, internally generated, or acquired as part of a business combination, which provide future economic benefits and are under the control of the Company.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, unless another systematic and rational method better represents the consumption of the economic benefits. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if there are indications of impairment.
The Company reviews intangible assets for indicators of impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Any impairment loss is recognized in the income statement. Upon impairment, the carrying amount of the intangible asset is reduced to its recoverable amount.
F-8 |
Oil and Gas Producing Activities
The Company
uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas activities. Under this method, the costs of productive exploratory wells,
all development wells, related asset retirement obligation assets, and productive leases are capitalized and amortized, principally by
field, on a units-of-production basis over the life of the remaining proved reserves. Exploration costs, including personnel costs, geological
and geophysical expenses, and delay rentals for oil and gas leases are charged to expense as incurred. Exploratory drilling costs are
initially capitalized, but charged to expense if and when the well is determined not to have found reserves in commercial quantities.
The sale of a partial interest in a proved property is accounted for as a cost recovery, and no gain or loss is recognized as long as
this treatment does not significantly affect the units-of-production amortization rate. A gain or loss is recognized for all other sales
of producing properties. There were capitalized costs of $
Unproved oil
and gas properties are assessed annually to determine whether they have been impaired by the drilling of dry holes on or near the related
acreage or other circumstances, which may indicate a decline in value. When impairment occurs, a loss is recognized. When leases for unproved
properties expire, the costs thereof, net of any related allowance for impairment, is removed from the accounts and charged to expense.
During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there was
Costs associated
with development wells that are unevaluated or are waiting on access to transportation or processing facilities are reclassified into
developmental wells-in-progress ("WIP"). These costs are not put into a depletable field basis until the wells are fully evaluated
or access is gained to transportation and processing facilities. Costs associated with WIP are included in the cash flows from investing
as part of investment in oil and gas properties. At December 31, 2023 and 2022,
Depreciation,
depletion and amortization of proved oil and gas properties is calculated using the units-of-production method based on proved reserves
and estimated salvage values. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded
The Company
reviews its proved oil and natural gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that a decline in the recoverability
of its carrying value may have occurred. It estimates the undiscounted future net cash flows of its oil and natural gas properties and
compares such undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying amount of the oil and natural gas properties to determine if the carrying
amount is recoverable. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the Company will adjust the carrying
amount of the oil and natural gas properties to fair value. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there was
The Company applies the fair value method of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, “Share Based Payment”, in accounting for its stock-based compensation. This standard states that compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Company values stock-based compensation at the market price for the Company’s common stock and other pertinent factors at the grant date. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $
and $ in stock-based compensation expense, respectively.F-9 |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements.” ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1: | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
Level 2: | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
Level 3: | Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The Company’s notes payable approximates the fair value of such instruments as the notes bear interest rates that are consistent with current market rates.
The Company evaluates convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked to market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income (expense). Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
The following table classifies the Company’s liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2023. There were no fair value instruments as of December 31, 2022:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss, capital loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measures using enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expect to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
F-10 |
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of general and administrative expenses. The Company’s federal tax return and any state tax returns are not currently under examination.
The Company has adopted ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and lability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually from differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company computes loss per common share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”, which requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic income or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the issuance of common shares, if dilutive, that could result from the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants.
Concentration of credit risks
The Company maintains accounts with financial institutions. All cash in checking accounts is non-interest bearing and is fully secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). At times, cash balances may exceed the maximum coverage provided by the FDIC on insured depositor accounts. The Company believes it mitigates its risk by depositing its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has just begun generating revenue and does not yet have sufficient revenue to cover its operating expenses. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet the Company’s obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with increased revenue and private placement loans or institutional investors. While the Company believes that it will be successful in obtaining the necessary financing and generating revenue to fund the Company’s operations, meet regulatory requirements and achieve commercial goals, there are no assurances that such additional funding will be achieved and that the Company will succeed in its future operations.
The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
During the normal course of business, the Company may be exposed to litigation. When the Company becomes aware of potential litigation, it evaluates the merits of the case in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. The Company evaluates its exposure to the matter, possible legal or settlement strategies and the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome. If the Company determines that an unfavorable outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated, it establishes the necessary accruals. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company is not aware of any contingent liabilities related to potential litigation that should be reflected in the financial statements.
In December 2021, the Company

Derivative instruments
The Company’s convertible promissory notes gave rise to derivative financial instruments. The notes embodied certain terms and conditions that were not clearly and closely related to the host debt agreement in terms of economic risks and characteristics. These terms and features consist of the embedded conversion option.

Current accounting principles that are provided in ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging require derivative financial instruments to be classified in liabilities and carried at fair value with changes recorded in income. The Company has selected the Monte Carlo Simulation Model, which approximates the Monte Carlo Simulations, valuation technique to fair value the embedded derivative because it believes that this technique is reflective of all significant assumption types, and ranges of assumption inputs, that market participants would likely consider in transactions involving embedded derivatives. Such assumptions include, among other inputs, interest risk assumptions, credit risk assumptions and redemption behaviors in addition to traditional inputs for option models such as market trading volatility and risk-free rates. The Binomial Lattice Model technique is a level three valuation technique because it requires the development of significant internal assumptions in addition to observable market indicators. For instruments in which the time to expiration has expired, the Company has utilized the intrinsic value as the fair value. The intrinsic value is the difference between the quoted market price on the valuation date and the applicable conversion price.
Significant inputs and results arising from the Monte Carlo Simulation process are as follows for the embedded derivatives that have been bifurcated from the convertible notes and classified in liabilities:
The following table reflects the issuances of embedded derivatives and changes in fair value inputs and assumptions related to the embedded derivatives as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

NOTE 11 – REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
Cyber Enviro-Tech, Inc is a water science technology company focusing on the remediation of contaminated industrial wastewater with an initial emphasis on the oil & gas industry. Our pilot project, where we are the operator of record, is on a 479-acre, 33-well, oil field in Callahan County, Texas. This project combines both water remediation as well as technology to improve well productivity. The Company is pursuing other projects including oil water filtration machines in a few locations Southwest Texas as well as acquisition of licenses to several patents from KAM Biotechnology, Ltd. These patents enhance the Company’s ability to treat wastewater in an environmentally friendly manner industries well beyond oil and gas.
Since the Alvey oil field project is very specialized, we thought it was valuable to show it separate from the rest of the operations of CETI which will be a larger part of where the Company is headed. Below shows that segmentation:

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES
Deferred taxes are provided
on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss, and tax credit
carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences
between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when,
in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The U.S. federal income
tax rate of

The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to pretax income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, due to the following:

NOTE 14 – SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS DISCLOSURES (UNAUDITED)
In accordance with ASC 932,
Extractive Activities- Oil and Gas, the Company is required to provide additional information regarding its oil and gas producing
activities when those activities are deemed to be significant. According to ASC 932, significance is defined as satisfying one or more
of the following criteria: the revenues from oil and gas are 10% or more of total revenues; the operating income (loss) from oil and gas
are 10% or more of total income (loss) from operations; the identifiable assets of oil and gas are 10% or more of total assets. In 2023
and 2022, the Company’s oil and gas activities were deemed to be significant since the operating loss from oil and gas is 10% or
more of total loss from operations. In addition, there was $
Oil and Gas Reserves
There are several factors that need to be considered in estimating quantities of proved crude oil and natural gas reserves. Crude oil and natural gas reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of crude oil and natural gas that cannot be precisely measured. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of the estimate may justify revision of such estimate. Accordingly, reserves estimates are often different from the quantities of crude oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.
Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible – from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations – prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.
Existing economic conditions
include prices and costs at which economic productivity from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during
the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the
first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations
based upon future conditions. For the years ending December 31, 2023 and 2022, that price would be $
Proved reserves are estimated quantities of oil, gas and natural gas liquids that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. The reserve volumes presented are estimates only and should not be construed as being exact quantities.
The Company’s 479-acre oil field is
located in West Texas. Per the Preliminary Reserve Estimate done by an independent geologist in May 2013,
it is estimated to contain 150 million barrels of oil. The geologist estimates the recovery factor at 30% to 40% of the total
reserves. Based on the lower estimated quantity and lower the recovery factor, the total barrels of recoverable oil for would be
around 44.8 million barrels. The average price of West Texas Intermediate oil for the year ending December 31, 2022 was $

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, being December 31, 2022.
Based on this evaluation, these officers concluded that, as of December 31, 2023 these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by our company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities Exchange Commission. The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the Company was lacking in pre-planning for expenses and documentation of all transactions.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The term "internal control over financial reporting" is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, an issuer's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
(1) | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer; and |
(2) |
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer.
|
Under the supervision of our chief executive officer, being our principal executive officer, and our chief financial officer, being our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 using the criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded our internal control over financial reporting were not effective at December 31, 2023.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a more than remote possibility that a misstatement of our company's annual or interim financial statements could occur. In its assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, we determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses which are indicative of many small companies with small staff, such as:
(1) |
inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and
| |
(2) | insufficient written policies and procedures for documenting all transactions with vendors. | |
Our management is currently evaluating remediation plans for the above deficiencies. During the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, we have been able to remediate some of the weaknesses described above. However, we plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting.
