KIKO Water

WATER is fundamental to all aspects of society, yet as a vital natural resource, it remains largely misunderstood, stressed, and largely taken for granted. Lack of clean water is an issue facing many communities across the global South. According to UNICEF, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has over 50% of the water reserves on the African continent, but over 33 million people living in the country’s non-urban areas do not have access to quality water. The earth contains limited water, which is continuously recycled via clouds and precipitation. Furthermore, only 0.3% of the total water on earth is usable for drinking, agriculture, utility, and industrial processing. Forever chemicals are now in our water supply. At the same time, the global population has grown fourfold from 2 billion in the 1920s to 8 billion by 2024 due in large part to industrial growth, which has generated significantly more waste. Our water has become increasingly acidic and corrosive and resonates slower than it should. The lower resonance reflects waste emissions such as exhaust fumes, gaseous CFCs, and carbon monoxide -  expanding the stratosphere with an extremely thick blanket covering our planet. The problems associated with stressed water are plentiful and include lower agriculture yields, higher mortality rates in fish, a decreased shelf life for vegetables and fruits, rapid scale formation in equipment, higher utility use, less energy for crop defense mechanisms, cyanobacteria outbreaks, and invasive species. We need to help people across the world gain access to quality water.

KIKO is a singular patented technology that helps clean water and enhance the performance and productivity of thousands of end-use applications. 

The energy carrier to do this is natural volcanic material processed by a proprietary heating and cooling formulary in Japan. This carrier restores the resonance of Hydrogen atoms at the molecular level in femtoseconds. Then, in a sort of domino effect, molecular reactions occur with far infrared absorption, surface tension, hydrogen bonding, mineral separation, and energy diffusion.  

KIKO represents a paradigm shift for an array of applications, including agriculture crops, energy utility, heavy industry, municipal water processing, aquatics, poultry, animal husbandry, feedlots, medicine, oil spills, mining wastes, and the restoration of watersheds and wetlands.

Unlike conventional water treatment chemistry or induced oxygenation, whose toxic behavior causes environmental cleanup issues, the KIKO solution does not kill any living organisms, including bacteria, fungi, or actinomycetes.

The KIKO solution performs admirably within the mitochondrial inner cells of every living plant, fruit tree, animal, and aquatics. For instance, one very observable fact is superior chlorophyll effects (e.g., photosynthesis reacting with carbon dioxide). Furthermore, microbial activity in KIKO-treated soil is superior to that of fertilizer-treated soil. As a result, the plants that grow in this soil use less energy to transport nutrients from their roots to their canopy. Pathogen damage is visibly less. 

The KIKO Solution is not only adaptable but easy to apply. The carrier-charged KIKO pellets integrate seamlessly into the end-user's mode of operations, with no moving parts or electricity requirements, and are priced affordably through a lease or shared revenue model.

The KIKO Solution is measurable and monitored by real-time sensors and or test kits for metrics such as pH, electrical conductivity, surface tension, and FIR spectrometers, to name just a few.

Water is a great connector, but history tells us it is also a victim of many biases prevalent from outdated water policies, lack of education in schools, and the threat to conventional fertilizer practices.  

Amidst today’s climatic challenges and global diversity, we believe KIKO can accelerate big system transformations (atmospheric pollution, wildlife restoration, pristine water for indigenous populations, etc.).

Less than 1% of the water on Earth is usable. This is divided among agriculture (70%), industrial and utility (22%), and drinking water, washing, and flush water (8%). KIKO for droughts, floods, and oceans is outside the scope of our technology.

SCALE ELIMINATION (Hotels, buildings, nozzles, boilers, HVAC)

• Chemistry is the conventional choice for scale elimination. KIKO considers chemistry an old-school practice which is based on Professor Wilfred F. Langelier’s Saturation Index of 1936 (e.g., pH, hardness, solubility, viscosity, and blow-down)

• Chemicals are ineffective, given that scale deposits form within 3 weeks to 6 months. Excessive maintenance repairs, energy losses, and acid waste removal are penalties. KIKO improves water molecules' hydrogen frequency, EC, and surface tension – systems remain scale-free for 3 to 5 years.

• Carbon credits: KIKO saved about 42 tons in a downtown Vancouver building. According to EPA calculations, this is equivalent to 110,000 miles driven per year by a passenger car, or 49,678 pounds of coal burned, 108 barrels of oil, or 37.9 acres of forest per year

• Approximately 15% of buildings' greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are attributed to water use. 

HOSPITALS & CLINICS:

• Legionnaire’s outbreaks frequently occur in older facilities due to scaled piping. KIKO solved the problem at Joondalup Hospital in Perth, saving A$800,000 per annum.

AGRICULTURE & GREENHOUSES

• Agriculture practices involve seed development, fertilizers/pesticides, bacteria suppressants, zeolite, biochar, compost, drones to measure yields, GPS software, and logistics.

• KIKO Activated Water is extraordinary, far exceeding fertilizer standards, e.g., 10% to 35% more crop yield, 15% to 50% less fertilizers, extending fruits and vegetables' shelf life by weeks, improving taste—a forensic science to solve profitability problems, lower operating costs, fertilizers, and food wastes.

AQUATIC, FISHERIES, POULTRY, HATCHERIES, ANIMAL HUSBANDRY:

• KIKO solves ammonia problems in fishery hatcheries and poultry farms, eliminating nitrate use. KIKO lowers juvenile and fingerling mortality by 15% to 50%, 3 to 5% less feed for poultry, swine, and cattle

REMEDIATION & RESTORATION of WATERSHEDS, WETLANDS, MINING TAILINGS, OIL SPILLS:

• Current In-situ environmental remediation techniques for contaminated lakes, rivers, wetlands, mining tailings, septic, feedlots, and oil spills are most difficult to understand. Anaerobic respiration precipitation, absorption, filtration, oxygenation, and induced microbes often fail.

• KIKO applies Physics to toxic water, whereby beneficial microorganisms are not killed (e.g., bacteria, fungi & actinomycetes). Instead, these microbes colonize rapidly and choose their natural energy pathways known as the KEYSTONE SPECIES, hence restoring watersheds and wetlands

• KIKO solved algae cyanobacteria outbreaks in days for golf courses and septic waste ponds in less than a week. Watersheds are devoid of wildlife and feedlots in Iowa and China within three months.

• KIKO's most extraordinary discovery is at Iowa's 13,000-acre Spirit and Okoboji Lakes. Within three days, the algae and sulfide cyanobacteria cleared, millions of invasive zebra mussels washed ashore, and most astonishingly, wildlife considered extinct for 40 years was restored within 2.5 months!

KIKO Technology Limited is incorporated in Hong Kong SAR under the UK Commonwealth laws. KIKO patents and its intellectual property rights are registered with the World International Patent Organization in Zurich.

The KIKO volcanic pellets are produced in Japan under stringent QC requirements. Safety testing is conducted at our Hong Kong and Dongguan, China offices. The adjunct biochar and mineral water conditioners for the remediation projects are made in Montana and Iowa in order to address our most dynamic market, North America. 

The management team is primarily located in Hong Kong, Japan, and Iowa and consists of:

• marketing team (e.g., website, blogs, social media, videos, publications, documentary, education)

• production team (e.g., inventory, molding, MRA analysis, raw material sourcing)

• financial division (e.g., management information system, customer relationship management)

• technology R&D (e.g., by independent third-party scientific advisors such as MI Hope in Pasadena, California)

• education team (e.g., working with high school students across the US teaching water remediation education and doing research)

• business development (e.g., client services support and service contract negotiations are conducted by third-party associates located in close proximity to their respective target geography, e.g., USA, Canada, Japan, Korea, UK, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Vietnam, and Colombia)

Founder James T. Osugi orchestrates the technology solutions for all the KIKO Associates. He has a gas and fluid dynamics background as a co-patent holder in cryogenic hydrogen and cryogenic oxygen burn rates for the APOLLO 2nd-stage propulsion system. He has also developed Magnetic Resonance Analysis techniques, designed fuel injector spray systems, and once managed a USA Fortune 500 chemical water treatment company. All of this experience contributes to our evidence-based knowledge.

KIKO is well past the development phase of prototypes and pilots for nearly all the targeted applications. We selected this growth phase because of the three-year setback from COVID. We had anticipated ramping up and scaling several projects in 2019, but travel bans in Asia were not lifted until January 2023.

There is sufficient inventory of the KIKO 9 mm and 7 mm pellets on hand to generate at least $10 million of revenues under the KIKO Service Contract commercial model, a B2B strategy. To scale up, we would need some sort of financial assistance to reach our projected $100 million mid-term goals. KIKO recognizes the need to form strategic alliances in niche applications to create brand identity and market acceptance.  

The empirical data from the 300 field studies indicate that the bridge between growth and scale is not as large as it may seem. Securing only a few corporate accounts would accelerate KIKO's growth path, e.g., scaling up mining waste projects with the Governor in Colombia, the DNR involvement for the mega wildlife remediation at the 13,000-acre Spirit Lake in Iowa, or the EPA's concern for 1000 heavily scaled buildings in New York.

Below is a list of what we have already tested. The protocol compared conventional techniques (e.g., CONTROL or non-activated water) against the productivity and economic performance created by using KIKO Activated Water.

GROWTH PHASE: The founders have financed working capital in its entirety. However, we now seek financial assistance from donors, philanthropists, or strategic alliance partners to expand further.

• In the Agriculture outdoor sector, KIKO has assisted farmers in producing 11% to 15% more corn and soybean in Iowa, 25% or more rice and sugar cane in the Philippines, cotton and ryegrass in Australia, hemp and cannabis in Colorado and Nevada, vegetables in Asian markets, wet paddy field rice in China Taiwan, Thailand, Pakistan and Vietnam, strawberries in California, vineyards in France and Canada 

• Some studies, such as palay rice, were conducted over three years due to seasonal conditions, seed type differentials, fertilizer reduction in increments, soil health, northern versus southern hemisphere infrared absorption, etc. The average net profit gain for rice farmers in these third-world countries improved by 40% to 80%. Why? Because the rice millers and rice traders profited the most. 

• Many extraordinary discoveries support our paradigm shift stance, e.g., a 200% increased tensile strength of fibers in cotton hemp sugar cane / 10% increased stalk diameters means 31% more storage space for sugar cane liquid / 20-30% male seed conversion to feminized seeds / much more flowering / stronger and whiter rice grains / less water usage when fertilizers were reduced / less pathogen damage / better soil porosity 

• Greenhouse applications were conducted in Australia, Murdock TAFE University, Colorado, and Korea for lettuce, capsicum, tomato, strawberries, cannabis, and microgreens. We tested yields, electrical conductivity, pH, tastes, and shelf life, and most interestingly, the conventional food nutrients were reduced by as much as 80%.

• The fishery and poultry hatcheries work was conducted for Trout in  England, Rosenbergii shrimp in China and Vietnam, and Garoupa with the Hiroshima Fisheries Department in the Philippines and USA's Auburn University. Our work concentrated only in the larvae to fingerlings phase, the area which is most prone to Ammonia poisoning. Membrane separation is the most challenging, leading to 30% to 70% juvenile mortality rates. KIKO Activated Water cut mortality rates by 50% or more 

• The studies for broilers and layer hens (e.g., eggs) were conducted in Georgia, USA, India, and England. Feed conversion rates improved by 2-3%. Scale formation in the feed nozzles is completely solved. Although KIKO's performance was not challenged, the large poultry producers were very private about their feed formularies, and the 2-day shorter growth disrupted their logistics timing.  

• Scale formation reduction was successful in eight commercial buildings in downtown Vancouver, five in London, three in Macau, and one hotel resort in Singapore. The biggest challenge did not center on economic or energy savings performance but instead on the resistance to change by old-school plant engineers, who were biased towards conventional water chemistry and slow-release biocides.  

• Legionnaire’s risks focused on medical tools sterilized by steam heating coils at Joondalup Hospital in Perth, Australia. Kiko was not well-liked by the Service Contractor as it became clear dismantling and cleaning were no longer required, which would have cost the firm A$ 800,000 in lost revenues.

• The Remediation and Restoration projects were conducted in Crab Cove, Alameda Country in California, 13,000 acres at Spirit Lake, Iowa, East and West Okoboji in Iowa, a 6000-acre oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, five golf course lagoons in Hong Kong, Macau, Iowa, California, and Australia, septic tank wastes near Vancouver, and Feedlots in Iowa.

• KIKO supplied round 9 mm pellets, biochar, and a non-toxic mineral water conditioner to clean up watersheds and wetlands. What surprised every user was the small amount of products required to restore damaged waterways (30 pounds for 13,000 acres of water surface area). Diffusion "carries" the hydrogen frequency charge, an underlying KIKO phenomenon. The KIKO products were installed in a few minutes without moving parts, electricity requirements, or heavy equipment. Drones to apply the product are under development.

• Other restoration contracts will be underway by June 2024 in Des Moines, Scottsdale, Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver Island, with the First Nations tribe in Canada and the Six Nations in New York, Pattaya, Thailand, and Colombia.       

• Cleaning up mega-sized mining tailing wastes is under discussion in Vancouver, Alberta, South Dakota, and Colombia. These mega-sized projects pose severe environmental issues, and the current anaerobic respiration techniques have repeatedly failed to produce the desired results. 

• Instead, cyanobacteria and mining tailings react most favorably to living organisms (e.g., bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes) called "beneficial microbes" to colonize by the billions and do the actual work to digest, absorb, and destroy these metals or mineral wastes.  

• Tailing wastes cause severe humanitarian and economic losses. Cleanup fees normally range from $15 million to $1 billion, with hardly any meaningful results. Unless action is taken, the environmental impact will continue to compromise aquifers, tribal lands, wetlands and wildlife, rivers, lakes, property value, loss of jobs, medical concerns, and toxic atmospheric emissions.

The world is facing a future of unprecedented water challenges linked to climate and atmospheric pollutants. This is a woefully under-discussed ecological crisis. We believe MIT’s network and contacts could open doors that we at KIKO have been unable to access otherwise. This would allow us to gain the greater marketing exposure we need to create a brighter future for generations to come with abundant, clean water. 

We find it startling that a resource as precious as water is so largely misunderstood and taken for granted by so many end users 

The barriers to the large-scale market acceptance of KIKO are primarily:

• EDUCATION – The average consumer takes water for granted. KIKO has partnered with a nonprofit organization, "Meaningful Teens," in California, which teaches thousands of under-served children worldwide. Together, we are developing a curriculum regarding the physics of water, hydrogen bonding, and water remediation, which will be taught in charter schools in California and then branch out as funding arises. We have also planned a field trip for June 2024, for which MT’s students will visit Spirit Lake to film, document, and broadcast the learning to a greater audience, including the Department of Natural Resources.

• LEGAL and CULTURAL – The quality and quantity of usable water are largely kept from the public eye. According to EPA data, the Clean Water Act has been violated over 500,000 times in recent years by more than 23,000 companies and other facilities. According to the UN, by 2025, it is forecast that 3.4 billion people will face water scarcity or unusable fresh water. Bodies of water such as the Rio Grande, Colorado River, Watersheds, Wetlands in Iowa, Minnesota Great Lakes, Mekong, and Pearl Delta are severely compromised, but viable technical solutions such as KIKO Activated Water are unknown. 

• TECHNICAL and FINANCIAL - Mother Nature is resilient, yet the human race remains inactive or apathetic, leaving a very ugly legacy for many future generations. Will financial funding help KIKO? Certainly YES. The health consequences of polluted water are difficult to gauge unless legislation is tightened. Medical researchers notice rising incidences of diseases such as breast and prostate cancer. Some efforts are made to transform seawater via osmosis, resolve contested water rights, and store water underground, but these are only incremental steps. The pivotal challenge must be addressed at the molecular cell level, which drives KIKO's intentions to advance technical and financial collaboration with a broader concerned audience.  

I would like to conclude this MIT SOLVE submission by paraphrasing a Confucius saying: “IF you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; IF in terms of 10 years, plant trees; and IF in terms of 100 years, TEACH THE PEOPLE."

KIKO Activated Water is very innovative. 

From a technical point of view, KIKO addresses water-linked problems from a modern Physics perspective rather than a traditional practice dominated by chemistry, mechanical filtration, reverse osmosis, induced microbes, anaerobic respiration, excessive fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. 

From an environmental point of view. KIKO addresses remediation and restoration of damaged watersheds and wetlands by NOT KILLING Living organisms (e.g., bacteria fungi actinomycetes), unlike uses of oxygenation, copper ions, ozone, or electron acceptors such as nitrates or sulfates. By allowing Nature to create or conduct its own energy pathways (e.g., known universally as the Keystone Species), then the EPA and DNR can divest their finances from under-performing fees to one that actually works to restore lakes, rivers, watersheds,  and wetlands throughout the world.

From a legislative point of view, frequency is not a part of the conversation under the FDA Clean Water Act of 1972. This act is not exactly a legislative act but a guideline that is open to interpretation and challenge. Water chemistry is also the primary guideline by engineering organizations such as LEEDS, ASTM, HVAC GE, Honeywell, Johnson Controls, York, Daikin, Carrier, et al. 

From an economic point of view, the cost to the end user to incorporate KIKO products into their operating schematic is very cost-effective. KIKO billing fees under a Service Contract, typically a three-year product guarantee, at literally the price of a royalty and IP fee. In fact, the KIKO business model is B2B, sharing the incremental revenue gains or cost savings between the end user, our service provider known as KIKO Associates, and KIKO, the supplier of the products. 

From a profit perspective, KIKO reserves 10% of its revenue stream for non-profit distribution. In the current KIKO projects, we anticipate the distribution of education to the First Nations and Sioux tribes in the Midwest. 

From a carbon credit point of view, the KIKO impact shatters traditional thinking. For instance, for one commercial building in downtown Vancouver (about 300,000 square feet), 42 tons of carbon credits saved is equivalent to 50,000 pounds of coal burned. Assuming a benchmark of 1,000 buildings, this amounts to 50 million pounds of coal (25,000 tons). If barrels of oil are the benchmark, then 42 tons C.C. is equivalent to 108,000 barrels of oil (108 barrels x 1000)  

It may seem complex to apply and install the products from the production or supply of KIKO products. It is not simple and requires almost no training. The complexity lies in the proprietary production know-how of the KIKO pellets, enabling them to perform as they do repeatedly and be safe to use under the guidelines of the FDA Clean Water Act.

KIKO adopted the scientific principles of cause and effect to understand and solve the problems identified in this submission. A kinetic energy theory was established, and the empirical data provided the solutions. Our work is evidence-based knowledge. 

This CAUSE and EFFECT protocol was conducted in many water-linked applications with and without the KIKO products. In some applications, such as agricultural crops and grains, the research was repeated over a consecutive three-year period to account for seasonal changes, seed development, soil porosity, northern versus southern hemisphere climatic conditions, tilling versus non-tilling practices, etc. 

A similar CAUSE and EFFECT protocol was conducted in other applications, such as for scale reduction in boilers, air conditioners, heat pumps, etc. Design factors were also analyzed for the types of fuels versus electricity usage, design of air spaces, heat flow, equipment design of condensers and chillers, coefficient of energy performance, hours of operation, etc. One of the effects of this deliberate methodology was understanding the performance of non-activated versus activated water due to atmospheric pollutants, principally acid rain and electrical conductivity influenced by carbon monoxide and unburnt HC emissions.

One of the surprising gifts was the Carbon Credit impact

For the Remediation and Restoration of damaged watersheds and wetlands, the KIKO test protocol advanced the theory of KEYSTONE SPECIES, in addition to the aforementioned CAUSE AND EFFECT analysis.

The theory is stated in the KIKO patent, which states, "The kinetic energy of water has positive effects on all living organisms." 

KIKO conducted restoration pilots on Macau, Australian golf courses, and Alameda County's Corica Slough. Algae and sludge have damaged these sloughs for over ten years, but the public outcry was insufficient for government or district officials to penalize the polluters.

KIKO also solved the toxicity problems at the Big 3 lakes in Iowa, which have been almost void of natural wildlife for 40 years. Products were added in late July 2023, and the hydrogen sulfide problem cleared in 3 days. The testimonial is obvious with the return of beavers and muskrats by November 2023, followed by trumpet swans, bald eagles, foxes, a moose, yellow perch, crawdads, and so on. The latter are natural predators of the lakes' most invasive species called zebra mussels. 

KIKO solved the problem that other technologies failed to do. This conventional wisdom applies toxic pesticides, oxygenated receptors such as ozone, methanol, phosphorous loading, and potassium bromides, to cite a few. Others dispose of soil in landfills, but this is just shifting the problem from one site to another. Bioremediation is popular, but these products are lab-produced microbes that fail to perform in the real environment. 

The KIKO Activated Water solution allows Nature to "create or choose its own unique eco-balanced energy pathways." KIKO recognizes the symbiosis relationships between toxins and beneficial microbes, which is known universally as the Keystone Species pathways.

KIKO Activated Water has six immediate impact goals in 2nd Q & 3rd Q 2024:

1) Continue monitoring the Big 3 lakes in Iowa with the University of Iowa Lakeside Lab and Dickson County Soil and Water Conservation Board. The historic long-term problems are invasive zebra mussels, Asian carp, and invasive vegetation. KIKO will create the template for the DNR and EPA to consider. Public opinion is continuously being voiced on the Spirit Lake Protective Association's Facebook page, but hardly any one of these individuals realizes what KIKO has done to restore Wildlife to its current magnificent condition. 

2) Conduct a film and documentary of the Spirit Lake and East & West Okoboji lakes with a national non-profit organization, "Meaningful Teens.” The field trips are planned for June 5-8th, 2024, including youth from this organization.

3) Continue monitoring an international chain of hotels to reduce its scale formation and lower its energy footprint. Similar scale reduction projects are underway along the Atlantic seaboard. 

4) Monitor the septic tank waste cleanup in Vancouver, the golf course lagoons in Iowa and Arizona, mining wastes in South Dakota, contaminated deep wells in a city in Montana, and remediation underway in Thailand and Korea.

5) Support our Florida-based KIKO Associate for Climate Week Miami in April 2024 and the CC16 Climate Change exhibition in Colombia in October 2024.

6) Continue investing in the Technical Support Center in Sioux City, Iowa, with two KIKO partners. The center provides technical services and logistics/supply support to all the newly appointed (from January 2023) KIKO Associates in Iowa, Canada, Oregon, California, Florida, Colombia, South Dakota, and New York. The Hong Kong center services the Asia Pacific KIKO Associates.

The KIKO core technology is an engineered kinetic energy carrier made of volcanic material to enhance B2B commercial water-linked applications

The core technology allows hydrogen atoms to resonate faster and is validated for energy transfer by using JEOL advanced nuclear magnetic resonance equipment. KIKO-activated water resonates faster than the speed of sound in air (e.g., 330 meters per second at 20 degrees Centigrade). 

If I may use an analogy, the hydrogen resonance is what a spark plug is to a car engine. Without the spark, the engine won't run. By the same token, upon immersion into water, the KIKO energy carrier immediately "starts the engine - the sequence of events to activate stressed water," as described in prior passages of this MIT submission. 

Can the KIKO solution be incorporated into an app for education purposes? It most certainly can, with video displays of the inner workings of hydrogen frequency and how it is affected by climate change, e.g., video photography displaying how crops in non-activated irrigated water versus activated water, scale deposits breaking and then returning to nano-sized minerals, to name but a few examples.

KIKO PRODUCTION: Three full-time staff and two third-party independent contractors in Japan.

ADMINISTRATION: Two staff members are in Hong Kong SAR.

MARKETING and SALES: Conducted by independent third-party KIKO Associates located in Seoul, Bangkok, Hong Kong SAR, Vancouver, Portland, South Dakota, Des Moines, Fort Lauderdale, Lafayette, California, New York, and Vietnam.

EDUCATION: One high school teen staff member is working on curriculum development and community engagement.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT: Two partners in Iowa provide customer service, product technology support, and the packaging and distribution of Biochar KIKO pellets and Mineral Water Conditioners to all KIKO Associates.

The Remediation and Restoration solution started in Macau in 2017. After a 3.5-year delay due to the pandemic, this solution was introduced to Iowa and Canada in July 2023.

The Agriculture solution (including aquatic, fisheries, and animal husbandry applications) was completed by the end of 2015, but the B2B commercial sales started in earnest in November 2018.

The scale reduction solution was completed by 2015, with sales activities limited to Canada and England.

KIKO embraces a multicultural community without any religious, gender, or racial bias.

Our staff and KIKO Associates, by nature, come from a variety of cultures, including Americans of different ethnicities, Canadians with indigenous backgrounds, Spanish, Chinese of different ethnicities, including Fujian, Cantonese, Shanghainese, Mongolian, Japanese, Koreans, Swiss Germans, Vietnamese, Vietnamese Americans, Thailand, Indians of Hindu faith, British, and South Africans.

Weekly Google meetings are conducted to provide, among other things, a support structure for cultural exchange.

The KIKO business model is B2B. The industries served include agriculture (greenhouse, animal husbandry, aquatics, fishery hatchery, poultry broilers, and layer hens), hospitality, factories, education, medicine, lake management, and mining.

Under our leased Service Contract model, projected revenues are shared between the end users, the Kiko Associates, and KIKO, the technology IP provider.

10% of the generated revenue is kept to be allocated to non-profit causes. 

A B2G business model is under consideration for Remediation and Restoration projects since the EPA and the State Departments of Natural Resources and Wildlife will have to sign off on many of them.

KIKO's working capital to date has been primarily funded by the Founder of KIKO Technology Limited.

In the medium and long term, KIKO seeks funding from philanthropists, donors, and government institutions such as the EPA or the Department of Natural Resources for large-scale Remediation and Restoration projects.

* The projected revenues for the Spirit Lake project are estimated at $1.3 million, assuming the DNR or Dickson County approves our work.

* The Scale Remediation Program will generate $15,000 per building per annum in 2024. The total number of contractual buildings is being negotiated, but it ranges between 1,000 commercial buildings and another 1,700 school buildings with severe scale and energy problems.

* The cleanup of golf course lagoons costs between $4000 and $12,000 per annum. The near-term projection is approximately 20 golf courses in the US in 2024.

* The restoration of animal septic wastes is priced at $7,500 per lagoon of less than one acre. Our KIKO Associate is negotiating approximately 60 sites.

* The revenues for the restoration of mining tailings are hard to predict at this time. However, the three sites we are in discussion with have been heavily fined from $2 million up to $17 million annually.

In KIKO's early years of R&D, we applied for grants from the Canadian and Australian governments that were successfully awarded, e.g., approximately $500,000 for each grant.

We have not sought investment capital from venture capital firms.
