Dear Ms. Singleton:
On behalf of 374Water Inc. (the “Company”), this letter responds to your letter, dated November 17, 2022 (the “Comment Letter”), regarding the above-referenced Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Annual Report”), filed with the United States Securities Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 1, 2022, and Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022 (the “Quarterly Report”), filed with the Commission on November 1, 2022. Each comment of the Staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) is set forth below, followed by the corresponding response. For ease of reference, the headings and numbered paragraphs below correspond to the headings and numbered comments in the Comment Letter. Each response of the Company is set forth in ordinary type beneath the corresponding comment of the Staff appearing in bold type.
Form 10-Q for the Quarterly Period Ended September 30, 2022
Section 302 and Section 906 Certifications, page exhibits
1.
We note you have listed in the Exhibit Index the respective Exhibit 31 and Exhibit 32 Certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. However, the actual Certifications have not been filed or provided with the September 30, 2022 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Please amend the Form 10-Q in its entirety to also provide the Certifications required by Section 302 and Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Womble Bond Dickinson (US) LLP is a member of Womble Bond Dickinson (International) Limited, which consists of independent and autonomous law firms providing services in the US, the UK, and elsewhere around the world. Each Womble Bond Dickinson entity is a separate legal entity and is not responsible for the acts or omissions of, nor can bind or obligate, another Womble Bond Dickinson entity.

Response No. 1: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff's comment and advises the Staff that it inadvertently omitted the certifications to be filed as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2 to the Quarterly Report. As requested by the Staff, the Company has filed an amendment to the Quarterly Report, which includes such certifications. The Company further acknowledges that the certifications, in the form filed with the amendments to the Quarterly Report, were signed and intended to be filed with the original filing of the Quarterly Report (and each such certification was true and correct as of the original filing date of the Quarterly Report), however, it appears that there may have been a technical transmission error.

We would be pleased to address any further Staff comments or questions related to the above matters. If the Staff wishes to discuss this letter at any time, please do not hesitate to contact me at 704-331-4933.

We note your disclosure regarding other income as of December 31, 2010 of $26,371.

The other income reported in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, in the amount of $26,371 represents cancellation of indebtedness income related to liabilities forgiven by a related party of the Company for various services provided during 2009. Mr. Kevin L. Vaughn July 1, 2011 Page 2 The other income reported in the Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2011 in the amount of $23,657 represents cancellation of indebtedness income related to liabilities forgiven by a related party of the Company for various services provided during 2010. We will include comparable disclosure, which we believe satisfies the conditions for disclosure as other income, in the MD&A sections and financial statement notes of our future filings on Forms 10-K and 10-Q. Form 10-Q as of March 31, 2008 2. We note from your disclosures that you utilize the Black-Scholes stock option pricing model to determine the fair value of your stock options. Please revise future filings to explain how you determined the assumptions utilized in these models including volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life, etc. Refer to the guidance in paragraph 750-10-50-2(f)(2) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. We acknowledge that our note disclosure should have included a discussion of management’s determination of the significant assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation. A sample of proposed disclosure on this point based on the March 31, 2011, 10-Q, which we intend to use in the future is as follows: The Company’s computation of the expected volatility for the three months ended March 31, 2011, is based primarily upon historical volatility and the expected term of the option. The Company continues to use the simplified method of determining the expected term provided under SAB 110 as sufficient historical data is not available. The interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant for a period commensurate with the estimated expected life. We will include the above disclosure in MD&A sections of our future filings on Forms 10-K and 10-Q. * * * * The Company acknowledges that: • The Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filings; • Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and • The Company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

Please file your response dated September 22, 2008 on Edgar as correspondence pursuant to Rule 10(a) of Regulation S-T. On October 16, 2008, we filed our response dated September 22, 2008 on Edgar as correspondence pursuant to Rule 10(a) of Regulation S-T. Item 8A. Controls and Procedures, page 11 2. We note within your proposed disclosure that your chief executive officer and president concluded that “[your] disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the reports you] Mr. Kevin L. Vaughn November 7, 2008 Page 2 file under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported as when required.” The language that is currently included after the word “effective” in your disclosure appears to be superfluous, since the meaning of “disclosure controls and procedures” is established by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. We also note that you included similar language within your March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008 Form 10-Q. Please remove the language in your filings or revise the disclosure so that the language that appears after the word “effective” is substantially similar in all material respects to the language that appears in the entire two-sentence definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” set forth in Rule 13a-15(e). We agree with the Staff’s comments regarding the superfluous language in our disclosure controls and procedures.

Dear Mr. Vaughn:
The following constitutes the comments made in your letter dated August 20, 2008 and the Company’s response to each of the comments, in the
order set forth in that letter:
Form 10-KSB for the Year Ended December 31, 2007
1. We note your response to prior comments 1, 3 and 4. Please tell us when you plan to file the amended Forms 10-KSB and 10-Q.
Attached to this letter are our draft amended Forms 10-KSB and 10-Q for your review. We intend to file these amendments promptly following your review.
Form 10-Q as of March 31, 2008

June 30, 2008
3. Please reconcile the amounts shown as deficit accumulated during the development stage of $13,859,039 shown
on your balance sheet with your net loss since inception of $477,768 shown on the income statement. In this regard, please confirm that in connection with the recapitalization you eliminated the additional paid-in capital and retained earnings of
the accounting target (Vyrex).
There is no reconciliation of the $13,859,039 originally reported on our financial statements. Rather,
this amount has been adjusted to eliminate the deficit accumulated during the development stage of Vyrex Corporation, as Vyrex Corporation is no longer the reporting entity.
4. In order to help an investor better understand the changes in your capitalization that took place in connection with the merger on
February 11, 2008, please revise future filings to provide a rollforward of your stockholders’ equity from December 31, 2007 showing the adjustments that you recorded to reflect the recapitalization in February 2008. Please also
provide us with this rollforward.
We agree with the Staff’s comments regarding revising future filings to provide a rollforward
of our stockholders’ equity. Our amended Forms 10-Q will include a rollforward of our stockholders’ equity from December 31, 2007, showing the adjustments that we recorded to reflect the recapitalization in February 2008. The draft

This amendment amends the following:
•

officers regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007 as required by Item 307 of Regulation S-B.

•
The financial statements have been amended to indicate that the financial information from prior to 2006 is unaudited.

PART I
ITEM 8A.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
As of the end of the
period covered by this report, the Company has carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and President, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its
disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d- 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and President concluded that, at December 31, 2007, the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and
submits under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting.
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate control over
financial reporting. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements.
All internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the
circumvention of overriding of controls. Therefore, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, because
of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting may vary over time. Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may also fail to prevent or detect misstatements.
Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Our
management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making its assessment of internal control over financial
reporting, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of
December 31, 2007, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
This annual report does not
include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public
accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There have been no changes in internal control
over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Audit Committee, Board of Directors and Stockholders of Vyrex Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Vyrex Corporation (a development stage enterprise) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficiency), and
cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vyrex Corporation (a development stage
enterprise) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the Company has
incurred recurring operating losses, has a working capital deficiency and a net capital deficiency. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these
matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CORRESP 1 filename1.htm Correspondence Vyrex Corporation 21615 North 2nd Avenue Phoenix, Arizona 85027 August 11, 2008 VIA EDGAR Mr. Kevin L. Vaughn Accounting Branch Chief Division of Corporation Finance U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Vyrex Corporation (the “Company”) Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 Form 10-Q as of March 31, 2008 File No. 0-27866 Dear Mr. Vaughn: The following constitutes the comments made in your letter dated July 17, 2008 and the Company’s response to each of the comments, in the order set forth in that letter: Form 10-KSB for the Year Ended December 31, 2007 Item 8A. Controls and Procedures, page 11 1. We do not see where you have included disclosure regarding the conclusions of your principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, regarding the effectiveness of your disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007. Please amend this filing to provide your conclusions regarding the effectiveness of your disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007 as required by Item 307 of Regulation S-B. We agree with the Staff’s comments regarding the need to include additional disclosure related to controls and procedures. We will prepare and file an Amendment to the Form 10-KSB including this disclosure. Mr. Kevin L. Vaughn August 11, 2008 Page 2 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, page F-2 2. Please amend the filing to include an audit report that covers all periods presented in the financial statements, including the inception to date information. We note from the report of Berenfeld Spritzer Shechter & Sheer, LLP included in your 2006 10-KSB that the periods from January 2, 1991 through December 31, 2004 were audited by other auditors. If still true and the work of these auditors are referenced in the 2007 report, please include the reports of each of the other auditors in the amended 10-KSB. With respect to the Staff’s request for a report from the Company’s predecessor auditors, we respectfully request a waiver of the requirement under Rule 2-05 of Regulation S-X for the consent of the predecessor auditors for the reasons described below. The Company is a development stage enterprise; as such, we retain an additional column on our consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from inception (January 2, 1991) through our most recent audited financial statements. In the April 16, 2007 report of the independent registered public accounting firm of Berenfeld, Spritzer, Shechter & Sheer, CPA, that was filed in connection with our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006, our auditor stated that it had relied on the report of other auditors for the audited financial statements for the period from date of inception through December 31, 2004. Rule 2-05 of Regulation S-X requires that we provide reports of the predecessor accountants if our principal accountant elects to place reliance on the work of the other accountants and makes references to that effect in its report. We included a consent letter and the auditors’ report of the predecessor auditor in our 2006 filing. However, in the March 28, 2008 auditors’ report that was filed in connection with our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, our auditor, at its election, did not state that it had relied on the report of other auditors for the period from inception through December 31, 2004. As such, we did not believe that Rule 2-05 of Regulation S-X applied, and therefore did not request consent from the predecessor auditors and did not include their report in our 2007 filing. If our interpretation of Rule 2-05 was wrong and the reports of the other auditors should have been included in our 2007 filing, despite the lack of reference in the 2007 auditors’ report, we respectfully request a waiver of the requirement in Rule 2-05 for the following reasons. We believe that obtaining reissued reports from our predecessor auditors in 2008 (for our financial statements for the period from inception through December 31, 2004 and that the predecessors audited more than three years ago and as long ago as 15 years ago) would not be relevant or helpful in understanding our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007. Since the Company’s inception in 1991, other than our existing auditors, the Company has retained two auditors. J.H. Cohn was originally dismissed on July 3, 1996 and then, after being retained again, resigned as the Company’s auditors on December 30, 2005. Ernst & Young LLC served as our auditors from late 1996 through April 20, 1999. Our most recent signed report from a predecessor auditor was provided to the Commission on Mr. Kevin L. Vaughn August 11, 2008 Page 3 March 29, 2005 in connection with the predecessor’s audit of our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004. Since March 29, 2005, we have retained the same auditor and they have audited the Company’s most recent financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007. We believe that obtaining reissued reports from our predecessor auditors would not be relevant or helpful in understanding our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007. Further, we believe that the time and costs associated with enabling our predecessor auditors to become current with their prior work, obtain the appropriate representation from our current auditors and review our filings that are beyond five years from the predecessor auditor’s own efforts, would be excessive and would significantly outweigh any possibility of additional protection to our stockholders by including a more current report by our predecessor auditors. Based on the facts and circumstances that we have described above, we respectfully request a waiver of the requirement for the Company to provide the predecessor auditors report in our Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 (for our financial statements from the period from inception through December 31, 2004) under Rule 2-05 of Regulation S-X. Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 3. We note that your certifications filed pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14(a) are not in the exact form prescribed by Item 601(b)(31) of Regulation S-B. Specifically, we note that the Rule 13a-14(a) certifications included with this filing omit (i) paragraph 4(b) and (ii) the portion of the introductory language in paragraph 4 that refers to the responsibility of the certifying officers for establishing and maintaining the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting. Please amend your filing to include revised certifications that conform to the exact wording required by Item 601(b) (31) of Regulation S-B. We agree with the Staff’s comments regarding the certifications. We will prepare and file an Amendment to the Form 10-Q including this disclosure. Form 10-Q as of March 31, 2008 Note 2. Business Acquisition, page 7 4. We note the disclosure on page 10 that following the cessation of its Biotech Business operations in October 2005, Vyrex was a public shell with no operations seeking an appropriate merger partner. We also note that as of February 12, 2008 PowerVerde was the operating entity and that, going forward, its operations would represent the sole operations of Vyrex. Please note that the staff considers the merger of a private operating company into a non-operating public shell corporation with nominal assets to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. That is, the transaction is equivalent to the issuance of stock by the private company for the net monetary assets of the shell corporation, accompanied Mr. Kevin L. Vaughn August 11, 2008 Page 4 by a recapitalization of the private company. The accounting is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill or other intangibles should be recorded. In addition, as a result, the only historical financial statements presented for the registrant in periods following the transaction would be those of the operating entity-PowerVerde. Please tell us how you considered that guidance in concluding on the appropriate accounting for the February 12, 2008 transaction or revise the filing to comply and to clearly describe your accounting. We agree with the Staff’s comments regarding the accounting treatment of the merger of PowerVerde with and into Vyrex. We will file an amended Form 10-Q which will not reflect the recording of any goodwill or intangibles. Also, we confirm that the Form 10-Q/A for the period ended March 31, 2008 will present the historical financial statements of the operating entity, PowerVerde. **** The Company acknowledges that: • The Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filings; • Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and • The Company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. We trust that the foregoing is responsive to the Staff’s comments. We are working on the amendments to the Form 10-KSB and Form 10-Q; however, we would appreciate your response to our request in item number 2 above before we submit those amendments. Should you have any additional questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned or our company counsel Robert Macaulay at (305) 530-4026. Thank you for your assistance.

The financial statements for the period January 2, 1991 (inception) through December 31, 1995 include total revenues and net loss of $310,000 and $3,408,199 respectively. Our opinion on the statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period January 2, 1991 (inception) through December 31, 1997, insofar as it relates to amount for prior periods through December 31, 1995, is based solely on the report of other auditors.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Re: Vyrex Corporation
Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, Filed September
2,
2005
File No. 0-27866
Dear Mr. Garlow:
This is to advise you that we have limited our review of the
above referenced proxy statement to only the issues identified
below.
Schedule 14A
1. We note that your proxy statement only contains one proposal to
be
considered by your shareholders. More specifically, you are asking
shareholders to vote on a merger agreement pursuant to which you
intend to reincorporate the company from a Nevada company to a
Delaware company. As your disclosure provides, this
reincorporation
also contemplates changes to your certificate of incorporation,
including an increase in your capital stock. Because we believe
the
increase in capital stock is a material change, please revise your
document so that the increase in capital stock is presented as a
separate proposal to be considered by shareholders. Please note
you
may state that each of your proposals is contingent on the
approval
of the other proposal, but you must allow shareholders to vote on
each of the proposed material changes.
2. Additionally, with respect to the increase in capital stock,
please provide a statement, if true, that you have no current
intentions or understandings to issue the additional authorized
shares of capital stock other than with respect to the stock
option
issuances.
* * *
You may wish to provide us with marked copies of the
amendment
to expedite our review. Please furnish a response letter with
your
amendment that keys your responses to our comments. Detailed
cover
letters greatly facilitate our review. Please file your cover
letter
on EDGAR under the form type label CORRESP. Please understand
that
we may have additional comments after reviewing your amendment and
responses to our comments.
Please contact Song P. Brandon at (202) 551-3621 with any
other
questions.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey P. Riedler

CORRESP 1 filename1.htm Letter of Correspondence July 20, 2005 Mr. Jim B. Rosenberg Senior Assistant Chief Accountant United States Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Vyrex Corporation Form 10-KSB for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004 Filed March 29, 2005 File No. 000-27866 Dear Mr. Rosenberg: Listed below is the response to your comments based on your review of Vyrex Corporation’s financial statements and related disclosures reflected in Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Financial Statements, page F-1 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, page F-2 1. After reviewing your inquiry our Accounting Firm confirmed that based on Rule 2-05 of Regulation S-X a certification from Ernest & Young should have been included in the filing for the fiscal year 1999 along with their own certification for that year. J. H. Cohn were the auditors for Vyrex from 1991 through 1995. Both Ernest & Young and J. H. Cohn provided consents for the 1996 10-KSB. Earnest & Young audited the financials as of December 31, 1996 and J. H. Cohn audited the financials as of December 31, 1995. J. H. Cohn was reengaged April 22, 1999 and audited the financials for fiscal year ending December 31, 1999. Since this oversight goes back a number of years please provide guidance on how we can rectify the situation without being cost prohibitive to a Company our size and with our limited capital. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies page F-9 2. The three current employees have agreed to provide services without receiving any additional compensation. Stock options were previously granted to the employees as a reward for their efforts. The Company does not have any liability for any accrued or deferred salaries for the current employees. In the event the Company should receive sufficient funding to support salaries, the current employees would receive salaries going forward from that date. 4. License and Collaboration Agreements, page F-11 3. The Company has one license agreement in place that provides revenue to the Company. The terms of the agreement requires the licensee to pay the Company a minimum royalty fee on a quarterly basis for the right to a Company patent for boron complexes. The Company recognizes revenue of $22,500 on a quarterly basis in accordance with the terms of the license agreement. The agreement stipulates that if the license is terminated by the licensee the licensee must pay the Company the minimum agreed on minimum royalty payment for 120 days beyond the date of termination.
