Item 8.01 Other Events.

The Company has decided to abandon Patent Applications # 13/510,757 and #14/234,614. These patent applications mainly relate to variations of the current patent 2009/0077992 assigned to Ambient Water.

Claims made in patent applications 13/510,757 and 14/234,614 have been disputed by the USPTO examiner citing the prior art in patent 2009/0077992 held by Ambient Water. Since Ambient Water has been primarily focusing on commercial/industrial applications for atmospheric water generation, the company believes that the impact of abandoning these patent applications is negligible.

These two patent applications were described in the 2016 10-K in Item 1 as follows:

US National Stage Application No. 13/510,757 (G3) filed May18, 2012 has received a First Office Action from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office examiner as anticipated and we are responding accordingly. Subsequently we have requested a phone conversation with the examiner. Additionally, we are requesting an examination of our co-pending application in Australia. On January 21, 2016, Australian Patent Application No. 2010321841 application was accepted in response to the voluntary amendments we submitted in December 2015.

US National Stage Application No. 14/234,614 (G4/G5) filed January 23, 2014 is pending and awaiting examination at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
