| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | ||||||||||||||||
| Organization | The Company was incorporated on March 7, 2008 under the laws of the State of Nevada, as Alcantara Brands Corporation. On October 5, 2010, the Company amended its articles of incorporation and changed its name to Bollente Companies, Inc. On June 4, 2018, the Company amended its articles of incorporation and changed its name to Trutankless, Inc.
The Company is involved in sales, marketing, research and development of a high quality, whole-house, smart electric tankless water heater that is more energy efficient than conventional products. Management anticipates the Company’s trutankless water heater, with Wi-Fi capability and Trutankless’ proprietary apps offered in the iOS and Android store, will augment existing products in the home automation space. |

| Basis of Presentation | The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding annual financial reporting. |
|||||||||||||||
| Principles of consolidation | The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Trutankless, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Bollente, Inc. and Tankless 365, Inc. On May 16, 2010, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Bollente, Inc. On October 20, 2021, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Tankless365, Inc. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. |
|||||||||||||||
| Use of estimates | The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. |
|||||||||||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of these investments approximates fair value. |
|||||||||||||||
| Stock-based compensation | The Company follows ASC 718-10, “Stock Compensation”, which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. ASC 718-10 is a revision to SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and its related implementation guidance. ASC 718-10 requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized. |
|||||||||||||||
| Income Taxes | The Company’s calculation of its tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various taxing jurisdictions. The Company recognizes tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on management’s estimate of whether it is more likely than not that additional taxes will be required. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Deferred income taxes are recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates. Temporary differences arise from net operating losses, differences in depreciation methods of property and equipment, stock-based and other compensation, and other accrued expenses. A valuation allowance is established when it is determined that it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws and regulations themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, the evolution of regulations and court rulings. Therefore, the actual liability for U.S., or the various state jurisdictions, may be materially different from management’s estimates, which could result in the need to record additional tax liabilities or potentially reverse previously recorded tax liabilities. Interest and penalties are included in tax expense.
The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statements of operation in the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. |
|||||||||||||||
| Earnings per share | The Company follows ASC Topic 260 to account for the earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation. There are 14,206,404 and 13,632,379 additional shares issuable in connection with outstanding warrants (0 shares and 245,637 shares) and convertible debts (14,206,404 shares and 13,386,742 shares) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. |
|||||||||||||||
| Accounts receivable | Accounts receivable is comprised of uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms. In accordance with ASC 326-20, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers and management closely monitors outstanding receivables based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reviewed periodically for collectability. If management determines that collection is unlikely, an allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected is recorded. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, management determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. |
|||||||||||||||
| Advertising Costs | The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred. The Company incurred advertising expenses of $38,849 and $10,468 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. |
|||||||||||||||
| Research and development costs | The Company charges research and development costs to expense when incurred in accordance with FASB ASC 730, “Research and Development”. These research and development expenses are not related to the patent that the Company has, but are focused on future product developments. Research and development costs were $163,541 and $432,847 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. |
|||||||||||||||
| Inventory | Inventory, including manufacturing cost and shipping are stated at the lower of cost (average cost) or market (net realizable value). During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Company implemented maintaining a vendor managed inventory at its contract manufacturer’s facility that is managed by this third party. During the fiscal year 2025, the Company has been improving its inventory tracking by putting in procedures to track all costs related to inventory assets and performing period end counts on a regular basis. Currently, the Company uses physical counts to verify the inventory items supported by the accounting system. All inventory is valued using an average cost method. |
|||||||||||||||
| Properties, Plant and Equipment | We record properties, plant and equipment at historical cost. We provide depreciation and amortization in amounts sufficient to match the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives or productive value. We capitalize expenditures for improvements that significantly extend the useful life of an asset. We charge expenditures for maintenance and repairs to operations when incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:
|
|||||||||||||||
| Vendor Deposits | The Company orders many parts from over-seas vendors or specialized equipment. These vendors require up-front payment on these parts or equipment. The Company records these advance payments as vendor deposits. Once the parts and/or equipment is received the applicable deposit amount is removed from vendor deposits. |
|||||||||||||||
| Security Deposits | The Company has three leases for office/warehouse space. Each of these leases required a security deposit. The Company records these payments as security deposits. Once a lease is terminated and the applicable deposit amount is received back by the Company, this deposit is removed from security deposits. |
|||||||||||||||
| Revenue recognition | Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 606. The Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company applies the five-step model to arrangements that meet the definition of a contract under Topic 606, including 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. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, the Company evaluates the goods or services promised within each contract related performance obligation and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company recognizes as revenue, the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company’s performance obligation is to ship the ordered product to the customer. Revenue recognition occurs at the time product is shipped to customers, when control transfers to customers, provided there are no material remaining performance obligations required of the Company or any matters of customer acceptance. Payment terms are typically at time of purchase for one-time buyers or net 30 days for wholesale customers.
The Company’s water heater has a two-year warranty on the unit, during which the Company will cover any required parts or repairs. The Company offers an extended five-year warranty that the customer can purchase. This is in addition to the initial two-year warranty. The extended warranty service income is deferred until the initial two-year period is up and then the service fee is amortized over the five-year warranty period. |
|||||||||||||||
| Fair value of financial instruments | The Company measures fair value in accordance with ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs (other than quoted market prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.
Level 3 - Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. Valuation of instruments includes unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
As defined by ASC 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale, which was further clarified as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (“an exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The reported fair values for financial instruments that use Level 2 and Level 3 inputs to determine fair value are based on a variety of factors and assumptions. Accordingly, certain fair values may not represent actual values of the Company’s financial instruments that could have been realized as December 31, 2025 or that will be recognized in the future, and do not include expenses that could be incurred in an actual settlement. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, receivables from related parties, prepaid expenses and other, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and related party and third-party notes payables approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The Company’s notes payable to related parties approximates the fair value of such instrument based upon management’s best estimate of terms that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at December 31, 2025 and 2024. |

| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.
The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 – “Income Tax Disclosures” required for periods beginning after December 31, 2024. The Company has provided additional disclosures in the income tax footnote (see Note 12) as required.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, requiring public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC 280 on an interim and annual basis. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 during the year ended December 31, 2025. See Note 16 – Segment Information for further details. |
