NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE A – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation: The interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2024. These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.
Description of Business: Wytec International, Inc. (“Wytec,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, is a designer and developer of patented small cell technology, which we call the “LPN-16,” and wide area networks designed to support 5G network deployments across the United States. Wytec offers in-building cellular (known as a distributed antenna system, “DAS”) and private Long-term Evolution (“private LTE”) solutions utilizing multiple vendors through Synnex Corporation, a leading distributor and solutions aggregator hosting more than 22,000 technology vendors. Concurrently, Wytec plans to commercialize a multichannel transmission product that integrates in-building cellular, private LTE, and gunshot detection services with its LPN-16 in the third quarter of 2024. Wytec was previously involved in the sale of wired and wireless services, including products, wireless data cards, back-office platform and rate plans to commercial and enterprise clients and was also engaged in the sale of Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) registered links participating in the 70 and 80 gigahertz licensed frequency program (the “Program”). The Program allowed qualified individuals to own a segment of the “backhaul” infrastructure of Wytec’s city-wide business deployment.
Basis of Accounting: The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company’s management in accordance with U.S. GAAP and applied on a consistent basis.
Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized by applying the following five steps: 1) identify the contract with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation.
The Company earns revenues from contracts with customers for sales and installation of cellular enhancement equipment and support agreements. Revenue from the sale and installation of cellular enhancement equipment is recognized either when the installation is completed or as the Company installs the cellular enhancement equipment, depending on the complexity of the system, such as the degree of customization of the equipment being installed, and the agreement with the customer. Revenue from the installation of systems, which management believes have an alternative use, is recognized upon customer acceptance. This assessment, at contract inception, is based on the combination of equipment ordered, the services performed and whether or not material effort, within the context of the contract, would be required to rework the equipment for another project. For example, such contracts are usually completed within 30-45 days. In larger more complex projects where the Company is creating an asset for the customer with no alternative use and has an enforceable right to payment for performance prior to contract completion, we recognize revenue utilizing the percentage of completion method. This method measures completion based on management’s estimate of total costs to complete each contract because management considers total costs to be the best available measure of progress on the contract. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, all sales and installation revenue was recognized when the installation was completed, per Company policy.
| 8 |
Support agreements entered into with customers are generally for a period of one year, during which the Company stands ready to provide service and support for installed systems at the customer site. Support agreement amounts are billed in advance to the customer, as agreed in the contract, and recorded as a contract liability. During the period, the Company provides unspecified firmware upgrades to installed client equipment as they are available. Management estimates that straight line recognition of revenue over the period of the support agreement contract is representative of the pattern of delivery on the Company’s obligation under these agreements.
The Company has applied the practical expedient that permits the Company to recognize revenue without regard to significant financing components based on the Company’s expectations about the transfer of services and the receipt of payment from customers. The effect of this practical expedient is not material to the Company’s financial statements.
Sales tax is recorded on a net basis and excluded from revenue.
Inventory: Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or selling price less costs to complete and sell. Specific identification is used to track inventory and record cost of goods sold when the inventory is sold.
Operating Leases Right-of-use Assets and Operating Lease Obligations: If we determine that an arrangement is or contains a lease, we recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease obligation at the commencement date of the lease. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease obligations represent our lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and obligations are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Stock Based Compensation: The Company measures stock-based compensation expense for stock awards at the grant date, based on the fair value-based measurement of the award, and the expense is recorded over the related service period, generally the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. The Company calculates the fair value-based measurement of warrants using the Black-Scholes valuation model and the simplified method and recognizes expense using the straight-line attribution approach.
Estimating the fair value of share-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock, the expected life of the warrants and stock price volatility. The fair value of the Company’s common stock is determined by the Board reasonably and in good faith with an independent valuation review, which requires judgmental inputs and assumptions such as cash flow projections, peer company comparisons, market data, growth rates and discount rate.
The expected term of the warrant is estimated using the contractual life as the Company has no historical information from which to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns. For stock price volatility, the Company uses comparable public companies as a basis for its expected volatility to calculate the fair value of warrants. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve commensurate with the expected term of the option. The expected dividend yield is 0% because the Company has not historically paid, and does not expect, for the foreseeable future, to pay a dividend on its common stock.
Cost Method Investment: Investments made by the Company are currently classified as cost method investment, or investments that do not hold any significant influence or control and do not have a readily-determinable fair value. As the investment does not have a readily-determinable fair value and as the investment is not into an investment fund, the measurement alternate approach, in accordance with ASC 321, is used to measure the fair value of the investment. The measurement alternate approach is defined as cost, less impairment, adjusted (increased or decreased) for information about fair value of the investment from observable price changes, whenever those occur.

NOTE B – GOING CONCERN
Our financial statements are prepared using accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets
and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred continuous losses from operations, have an accumulated
deficit of $
In addition, the Company expects to have ongoing requirements for capital investment to implement its business plan. Finally, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive environment in which it operates.
Since inception, operations have primarily been funded through private placements of equity and convertible debt. Management expects to continue to seek additional funding through private or public sources. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is ultimately dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash from operations to meet cash needs and/or to raise funds to finance ongoing operations and repay debt. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these efforts. These factors, among others, indicate substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the filing of these financial statements. Managements’ plan is to raise additional funding through a capital raise associated with a public offering and/or additional private capital raises.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should it be unable to continue as a going concern.
As of September 30, 2024, our cash balance was
$
NOTE C – REVENUE AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with its accounting policy described in NOTE A – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. The Company invoices customers and recognizes accounts receivable in an amount it expects to receive from the customer. The Company has contracted payment terms with its customer of Net 30 days. The Company recognized revenue from performance obligations satisfied as of a point in time and over time as disaggregated in the table below.

LP-16 patent. If the Company’s common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Markets on or before the maturity date, the outstanding
2024 Notes will automatically be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a rate equal to the price per share in a
public offering or, in the event of a direct listing of the Company’s common stock, the reference price on the closing date of the
listing. If the 2024 Notes have not otherwise been automatically converted into shares of the Company’s common stock, these noteholders
will have the option, on or before the maturity date, to convert all or a portion of their outstanding 2024 Notes into shares of the Company’s
common stock at a rate equal to $5.00 per share and, immediately upon the conversion, the converting noteholders will be issued a number
of new warrants from the Company equal to the dollar amount of the conversion divided by $5.00. These warrants will be exercisable until
December 31, 2025 at an exercise price equal to the greater of (i) five dollars ($5.00) or (ii) eighty-five percent (85%) of the 10-day
moving average of the Company’s public trading price if the Company’s securities are trading on the NASDAQ Capital Markets.

NOTE G – REPURCHASE AGREEMENT
In April 2020, we entered into a Repurchase and

exchange for 40,000 shares of common stock and 40,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (which shares automatically converted into 40,000
shares of common stock in April 2022). The agreement stated that the Company was to make $10,000 monthly installments with the balance
payable on the maturity date. The agreement contains a feature that allows the Company to extend the maturity date of the amount payable
to March 31, 2021 in the Company’s sole discretion, and if the Company exercises this option, the $10,000 monthly installments will
continue until the extended maturity date on which date the remaining balance will be due. During the quarter ended December 31, 2020,

NOTE I – WARRANTS
The
Company has common stock purchase warrants outstanding at September 30, 2024 to purchase
To calculate the fair value of stock warrants at the date of grant, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The volatility used is based on historical volatilities of selected peer group companies. Management estimated the fair value of the underlying common stock by utilizing the discounted cash flow method and the prior transaction method approaches and determined a fair value of $5.00 before July 30, 2024 and at trading value after being listed on July 30, 2024. Management estimates the average volatility considering current and future expected market conditions. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Each issuance is individually valued according to this procedure as of the date of issue with maturity dates through October 11, 2026, volatility estimates between 27.27% to 29.69% and risk-free rates 4.50% to 5.07% in the period.
During June 2023, the Company issued common
stock purchase warrants (“Warrants”) pursuant to its offering of up to up to $25,000,000 of 9.5% secured convertible promissory

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This report contains forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about Wytec International, Inc. (“Wytec,” “Company,” “us,” “we” or “our”), the industry in which we operate and other matters, as well as management's beliefs and assumptions and other statements regarding matters that are not historical facts. These statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and prospects. For example, when we use words such as “projects,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “will,” “opportunity,” “potential” or “may,” and variations of such words or other words that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes, we are making forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company’s actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by the Company in those statements. The most important factors that could prevent the Company from achieving its stated goals include, but are not limited to, the following:
| (a) | volatility or decline of our stock price; | |
| (b) | potential fluctuation in quarterly results; | |
| (c) | failure to earn revenues or profits; | |
| (d) | inadequate capital to continue our business; | |
| (e) | insufficient revenues to cover operating costs; | |
| (f) | barriers to raising the additional capital or to obtaining the financing needed to implement our business plans; | |
| (g) | dilution experienced by our shareholders in their ownership of the Company because of the issuance of additional securities by us, or the exercise of warrants or conversion of outstanding convertible securities; | |
| (h) | inability to complete research and development of our technology with little or no current revenue; | |
| (i) | lack of demand for our products and services; | |
| (j) | loss of customers; | |
| (k) | rapid and significant changes in markets; | |
| (l) | technological innovations causing our technology to become obsolete; | |
| (m) | increased competition from existing competitors and new entrants in the market; | |
| (n) | litigation with or legal claims and allegations by outside parties; | |
| (o) | inability to start or acquire new businesses, or lack of success of new businesses started or acquired by us, if any; | |
| (p) | inability to effectively develop or commercialize our technology; and | |
| (q) | inability to obtain patent or other protection for our proprietary intellectual property. |
| 21 |
Because the statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on the statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. The cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue.
We do not undertake any obligation to review or confirm analysts’ expectations or estimates or to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and notes to those statements. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this report contain forward-looking statements and information that involves risks and uncertainties.
Overview of Current Operations
Wytec International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Wytec,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), is a designer and developer of small cell technology and wide area networks designed to support 5G network deployments across the United States. Currently, we offer in-building cellular (known as a distributed antenna system, “DAS”) and private Long-term Evolution “private LTE” solutions utilizing multiple vendors through a channel agreement with Synnex Corporation, a leading distributor and solutions aggregator hosting more than 22,000 technology vendors across the world. Concurrently, Wytec is the owner of patented small cell technology, which we call the “LPN-16,” designed to support dense citywide 5G network coverage. Small cell technology is purported by PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited to be the key component to 5G deployment.
In September 2023, we engaged Trabus Technologies to begin Wytec’s artificial intelligence (“AI”), machine learning (“ML”), and blockchain software development in preparation for a series of state and federal pilot projects to be conducted across the United States which are expected to commence in the first quarter of 2025. In October 2023, Wytec filed two provisional patent applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) to enhance its LPN-16 small cell to include AI, ML, and blockchain technologies capable of supporting advanced multi-sensor technology.
In October 2023, Wytec signed a development agreement with Lemko Corporation to manufacture the updated version of our LPN-16 with AI, ML, and blockchain technologies. This agreement was signed in conjunction with our development of an integrated solution with the Nextivity Corporation (“Nextivity”) to enhance the in-building solution, utilizing Nextivity’s Cel-Fi, we currently offer to the over 190 Independent School District (“ISD”) members of the Central Texas Purchasing Alliance (“CTPA”). Wytec plans to include gunshot and drug detection solutions in conjunction with its in-building cellular services as a part of a pilot project offered to over 40 of the CTPA members requesting to be included in the pilot program.
We expect 5G to have a transformative impact on the economy and we believe that 5G citywide deployments will rely substantially on small cell technology to facilitate this impact. We believe our LPN-16 small cell can solve many of the long-term challenges faced by operators needing access to implement their 5G initiatives. It can also assist cities challenged with on-going technology upgrades, network growth demands, political hurdles, and new business models needed to realize the benefits of a 5G network. In addition to aligning with technical and governmental issues, the LPN-16 is designed to meet the standards for 5G deployment and, for operator needs, adheres to the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) policy initiatives addressing public safety and First Responder initiatives. Specifically, the FCC’s Report and Order 14-153, Acceleration of Broadband Deployment by Improving Wireless Facilities Siting Policies, adopts rules to help spur wireless broadband deployment by facilitating the sharing of wireless transmission equipment using “neutral host” functionality to simultaneously support multiple providers. The LPN-16 was specifically designed to support neutral host features and performance. The FCC’s goal of “shared used” and “neutral host” seeks to expand coverage and capacity more quickly, reduce costs, and promote access to infrastructure which reduces barriers to deployment and incentivize the sharing of resources, rather than relying on new builds for every stakeholder, thereby safeguarding environmental, aesthetic, historic and local land-use values.
We have implemented an aggressive intellectual property strategy and continue to pursue patent protection for new innovations. In addition to the LPN-16 covered by our current patent, we have identified additional upgrades and additions to the LPN-16 which further tie it to the goals and timelines of Wytec’s 5G development business model, FCC policy initiatives, and customer business usage which we believe could lead to additional patentable property. We intend to file for patent protection on these developments. Our strategy is to continually monitor the costs and benefits of our patent applications and pursue those that will best protect our business and expand the core value of the Company.
| 22 |
We have recruited and hired a seasoned management team with both private and public company experience and relevant technical and industry experience to develop and execute our operating plan. In addition, we have identified key engineering resources for intellectual property development, antenna development, and hardware, software, and firmware engineering, as well as integration and testing that we believe will allow us to continue to expand our technology and intellectual property.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations, including the discussion on liquidity and capital resources, are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management re-evaluates its estimates and judgments, particularly those related to the determination of the estimated recoverable amounts of trade accounts receivable, impairment of long-lived assets, revenue recognition and deferred tax assets. We believe the following critical accounting policies require more significant judgment and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.
Revenue Recognition. Wytec International, Inc. follows the revenue standards of Financial Accounting Standards Board Update No. 2014-09: “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The core principle of the revenue model is that revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. A customer obtains control when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the good or service. Revenue is recognized in accordance with that core principle by applying the following five steps: 1) identify the contract with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation.
Our contracts for the sale of Cel-Fi systems generally include the performance obligation to sell and install (including testing, commissioning and integration services) equipment. The performance obligation is deemed satisfied once the equipment has been installed, placed in service and customer signs off on their acceptance, at a point in time.
Network service revenues are recognized each month as services are rendered.
The Company generally provides a one-year warranty on its products for materials and workmanship but may provide multiple year warranties as negotiated, and will pass on the warranties from its vendors, if any, which generally covers this one-year period. In accordance with ASC 450-20-25, the Company accrues for product warranties when the loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. At June 30, 2024, the Company has estimated no product warranty accrual given the Company’s de minimis historical financial warranty experience.
Revenue is recorded and recognized when installation is complete. Maintenance and monitoring rates are pre-set based upon the building’s square footage. Cost of sales includes all equipment and labor that is connected to a project and all other costs are general and administrative. Laredo Independent School District projects are subject to contracted rates.
Warrants: The Company estimates and applies its judgement when determining the inputs to the Black Scholes calculation that is used to calculate the expense for the warrants issued. The volatility used is based on historical volatilities of selected peer group companies. Management estimated the fair value of the underlying common stock by utilizing the discounted cash flow method and prior transaction method approaches. Management estimates the average volatility considering current and future expected market conditions. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Each issuance is individually valued according to this procedure as of the date of issuance.
Results of Operations for the Three and Nine months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $88,034 and $201,826, respectively. The decrease in revenues of $113,792 or 56% was primarily due to a decrease in revenue from our in-building cellular systems. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $128,146 and $245,046, respectively. The decrease in revenues of $116,900 or 48% was primarily due to a decrease in revenues from our in-building cellular systems.

Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $30,617 and $129,718, respectively. This decrease of $99,101, or 76%, was primarily due to a decrease in costs incurred related to the sales of our in-building cellular systems. Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $55,570 and $165,664, respectively. This decrease of $110,094, or 66%, was primarily due to a decrease in costs incurred related to the sales of our in-building cellular systems.
General and administrative expenses were $546,622 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $496,147 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, resulting in an increase of $50,475 or 10%. Contributing factors to the increase include an increase in stock compensation of $135,638, an increase in fees, subscriptions and charges of $21,637, and an increase in marketing and advertising of $56,281 which was offset by a decrease in professional fees by $141,485 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. General and administrative expenses were $2,301,202 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $1,135,131 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, resulting in an increase of $1,166,071 or 103%. Contributing factors to the increase include an increase in fees, subscriptions and charges of $46,118, an increase in stock compensation of $1,118,623, and an increase in marketing and advertising of $35,238 which was offset by a decrease in office expense by $40,222 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
We estimate that we will need approximately $3,400,000 of capital or financing over the next twelve months to fund our planned operations, which we plan to satisfy as described below under “Satisfaction of our Cash Needs for the Next 12 Months.”
We anticipate that we will incur operating losses in the next twelve months. Our revenue is not expected to exceed our investment and operating costs in the next twelve months. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of operations. To address these risks, we must, among other things, seek growth opportunities through investment and acquisitions, implement and successfully execute our business strategy, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. We cannot assure that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Cash flows used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $1,386,569 compared to $1,147,631 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase of cash flow used of $238,938 was primarily due to increased research and development expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $1,899 compared to the cash flows used in investing activities of $-0- during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Capital expenditures totaled $1,899 and $-0- during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Cash flows provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $925,160 compared to $1,503,841 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. These receipts represent proceeds from the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock and common stock purchase warrants, and the issuance of debt.
Satisfaction of Our Cash Obligations for the Next 12 Months
As of September 30, 2024, our cash balance was $101,452. Our plan for satisfying our cash requirements for the next twelve months is through a combination of sales-generated income, including revenue from our installation contracts with the Texas school districts, private placements of our capital stock, exercise of warrants, third party financing, and/or traditional bank financing. There is no assurance that we will be able to meet our working capital requirements through the private placement of equity or debt or from any other source.

Other Funding Arrangements
On September 28, 2023, (the “Effective Date”), we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Gem Global Yield LLC SCS (“GEM” or the “Purchaser”) and Gem Yield Bahamas Limited (“GYBL”). Pursuant to the SPA, we may sell to the Purchaser from time to time up to $100,000,000 (the “Aggregate Limit”) in shares of our common stock during the 36 month period after the first day on which the Company’s common stock trades on a nationally recognized United States stock exchange or any other exchange platform in the world (the “Public Listing Date”). Pursuant to the SPA, after the Public Listing Date, the Company may issue a draw down notice pursuant to which the Company may sell the Purchaser an amount of shares that shall not exceed 400% of the average daily trading volume for the 30 days immediately preceding the date on which the Company delivers the draw down notice. The per share price shall equal 90% of the average applicable Daily Closing Price (as defined in the SPA) of the Company’s common stock during the applicable Draw Down Pricing Period (as defined in the SPA). Notwithstanding the foregoing, within five trading days after the Public Listing Date, the Company may issue a draw down notice for an amount up to $10,000,000 of the Aggregate Limit. Unless earlier terminated as provided in the SPA, the SPA terminates automatically on the earliest of (i) thirty-six (36) consecutive months after the Public Listing Date; (ii) thirty-six (36) months from the Effective Date (as may be extended as provided in the SPA), and (iii) the date the Purchaser shall have purchased the Aggregate Limit.
Pursuant to the SPA, in consideration for these services, we agreed to pay GYBL the following consideration: (i) a commitment fee equal to two (2) percent of the Aggregate Limit (the “Commitment Fee”) payable in cash from the proceeds of the Draw Downs (as defined in the SPA) or in freely tradeable shares of common stock of the Company valued at the Daily Closing Price (as defined in the SPA) at the time of each Draw Down (as defined in the SPA), at the option of Wytec, deliverable as described in the SPA so long as the entire Commitment Fee is paid on or before the first anniversary of the Public Listing Date and (ii) a warrant granting GYBL the right to purchase shares of our common stock having an expiration date that is the third anniversary of the Public Listing Date at the exercise price and upon the terms set forth more fully in the SPA, up to the number of shares of common stock that is equal to 3.7% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding calculated on a fully diluted basis as of the Public Listing Date (the “Warrant”). The Commitment Fee will not be payable and the Warrant will not be issuable if the Company’s common stock does not become publicly listed.
Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, dated September 28, 2023, between us and the Purchaser and GYBL (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the Public Listing Date, we are obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register the shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the SPA. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we are obligated to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC on the earlier of (A) the 45th calendar day after the date on which the registration statement is filed with the SEC and (B) the fifth business day after the date the Company is notified by the SEC that the registration statement will not be reviewed.
Other Payable
During 2019, $895,000 of deferred revenue, related to amounts billed and collected before services related to registered links and related equipment and services (“Links”) previously sold by the Company had been completed, was reclassified to other payable due to the Company exiting the business of installing Links. Since that time, a total of $560,000 of the amount was exchanged for a total of 119,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, leaving a balance of $335,000 at September 30, 2024. The Company intends to relieve the remaining liability through a combination of exchanges for common stock and cash.
Going Concern
Our financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred continuous losses from operations, have an accumulated deficit of $33,724,898 at September 30, 2024, and have reported negative cash flows from operations. In addition, we do not currently have the cash resources to meet our operating commitments for the next twelve months from the date of this report. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive nature in which we operate.
| 25 |
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our cash needs and/or to raise funds to finance ongoing operations and repay debt. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional debt or equity capital and/or that our cash generated by our operations will be adequate to meet our needs. These factors, among others, indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
We have reviewed the standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) through September 30, 2024 and which are not yet effective. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption. The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncement will have a material impact on its financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, Mr. William Gray, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15I under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, Mr. Gray has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our financial statements included in this report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
