We have an established presence in the warehouse solutions market. With Interactive Systems, Inc. we provide software inventory management and with interlinkONE, Inc. we provide SaaS cloud-based solutions for warehouse and inventory fulfillment.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
The Company is neither an accelerated filer nor a large accelerated filer, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act (§240.12b-2 of this chapter), nor is it a well-known seasoned issuer as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act (§230.405 of this chapter), and as such is not required to provide the information required by this item.

Our principal executive offices are located at 325 N Milwaukee Ave Suite G1, Wheeling, IL 60090, which we lease for $375 per month on a month-to-month basis with a 30-day notice, provided if either party does not terminate the agreement within (30) days prior to the end of the initial term, the lease shall automatically renew for successive one (1) month periods on the same terms.

We intend to add new facilities or expand existing facilities as we add employees, and we believe that suitable additional or substitute space will be available as needed to accommodate any such expansion of our operations. The company has a shared office at 401 Ryland Street, Suite 200A Reno, NV 89502.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Except as discussed below, we are not presently a party to any material litigation, nor to the knowledge of management is any litigation threatened against us, which may materially affect us.
Meridian Pacific Holdings, LLC filed a lawsuit against certain directors, officers, affiliates, and the Company for breach of contract and fraud, in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles on May 6, 2019. The lawsuit alleges that certain officers of the Company misrepresented the business and asked for financing the business for approximately $1.6 million for operations from Meridian Pacific and never delivered the fiber optic assets promised. The judge in this case dismissed all claims against Ameritek Ventures, Inc. on October 19, 2023.
The Company filed a lawsuit in the Clark County, Nevada, court against Clinton L. Stokes, III, the former owner of the Company, to settle the matter of shares ownership and that of if the asset coming from Fiber Optic Assets was purchased free and clear of any encumberment from Meridian Financial Group, LLC on March 6, 2023. Meridian Financial Group, LLC has a claim on the assets in the business of fiber optics previously owned by Clinton L. Stokes III. This case is still pending. There is no trial date set as of the date of this filing. This litigation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
For the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023
Ameritek had operating revenue of $678,300 for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to $949,438 for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $271,128, or 29%. This decrease was due to the sale of Interactive Systems and interlinkONE to ZenaTech.
Total operating expenses decreased by$363,928 or 44% since the Company sold the two revenue and expense generating companies on October 1, 2024. Additionally, Ameritek is now using the proprietary server from Epazz, Inc. and not loaning cloud space from third party vendors. Development and support expenses were lower by $222,040 or 43% in 2024. General and administrative expenses were $132,398 for 2024, a decrease by $91,384 or 41% as compared to expenses incurred during 2023. Depreciation and amortization expenses were also down by $50,504 or 61% from 2023.
5
Net operating income before other income was $219,332 for 2024 as compared to a net income of $126,542 for 2023, a positive net change of $92,790. This result is due to reducing expenses significantly in 2024.
Other income increased by $4,496,799 during 2024 due to gain on asset disposal resulting from the sale of Ecker Capital to ZenaTech. Interest expenses decreased by $23,369 in 2024 from $185,452 due to a reduction of interest paid in the fourth quarter of 2024. The Company recognized other revenue of $4,439,550 for gain on asset disposal.
Ameritek had a net income of $4,496,799 during 2024 as compared to a net loss of $58,910 realized during 2024. This decrease is due to the factors explained above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flow
The Company currently funds its operations, including working capital and capital expenditures, and acquisitions through cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and financing activities as necessary. We expect that cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and other sources of liquidity, such as issuing equity or debt securities, subject to market conditions, will be available and sufficient to meet all foreseeable cash requirements. The following is a summary of the changes in the Company’s cash flows followed by a brief discussion of these changes:
|
| Twelve months ended December 31, |
|
| ||
|
| 2024 |
| 2023 |
| Change ($) |
Cash flow (used in) provided by operating activities | $ | 331,375 | $ | (23,009) | $ | 354,384 |
Cash flow (used in) provided by investing activities | $ | – | $ | – | $ | – |
Cash flow (used in) provided by financing activities | $ | (329,659) | $ | 27,876 | $ | 357,535 |
Operating activities
Cash flow provided by operating activities had a total outflow of $354,384 for the year ended December 31, 2024, while for 2023 the cash inflow provided by operating activities was $(23,009). This is due to having a net income of $4,496,799, partially offset by the change in gain on sale of Ecker of $4,439,550, a decrease of accounts receivable of $245,547, accounts payable of $75,303, accrued interest of $42,399 partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue of $327,032, and a decrease of amortization and depreciation of $50,504 in 2024 compared to 2023, all as a result of the sale of Ecker Capital.
Investing Activities
There was no investing activities during the years ending December 31, 2024, and 2023.
Financing Activities
Cash outflow used by financing activities decreased by $357,535 for the year ended December 31, 2024. This difference represents the decrease by $539,768 of proceeds from short-term debt and the inflow of $182,233 was for the repayment of long-term debt.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company had no cash as of December 31, 2024 as compared with $5,618 as of December 31, 2023, because of the assets sale to ZenaTech. Ameritek continues to rely on borrowings to finance its working capital needs.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our consolidated financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were no accounting standards and interpretations issued which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2024.

2.SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared under accrual of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America ("US GAAP"). 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.
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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows the Company considers highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Long-lived Assets
The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized as equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends, and prospects, as well as the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors.
Property and Equipment
Equipment is recorded at its acquisition cost, which includes the costs to bring the equipment to the condition and location for its intended use, and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related asset as follows:
Furniture and fixtures |
| |
Computers and equipment |
| |
Website development |
| |
Leasehold improvements |
|
Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
Assets held under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the net present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease. Amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets due to transfer of ownership after the lease term has expired.
Maintenance and repairs will be charged to expenses as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments will be capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation will be removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, will be reflected in operations.
Property and equipment are evaluated for impairment whenever impairment indicators are prevalent. The Company will assess the recoverability of equipment by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of these assets over their remaining life can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of equipment impairment, if any, will be measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which such impairment is determined by management.
16
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company has debt instruments that require fair value measurement on a recurring basis.
Intangible Assets and Intellectual Property
Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit of five to fifteen years. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically and take into consideration events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. All of our intangible assets are subject to amortization. No material impairments of intangible assets have been identified during any of the periods presented. Ameritek sold all assets to ZenaTech. The Company’s accumulated amortization expense on intangible assets totaled $Nil for the year ending December 31, 2024, and $441,326 for the year ending December 31, 2023.
(a)Product Development
During the fourth quarter of 2022, certain historical accounts have been reclassified to comply with their treatment according to ASC. What was classified as goodwill in 2021 is classified as product development for 2022. Upon further consideration, discussion and review, the Company has reverted to its previous classification of goodwill, separating goodwill from product development during 2023. Goodwill is not being amortized.
(b)Patent
The Company has a US patent 9217598B2 for FlexFridge, a foldable refrigerator, acquired with the Bozki merger. The patent is not being amortized because we have not put it into production yet. However, we will amortize it when it goes into production.
Ameritek Ventures sold in the first quarter of 2022 a drone patent in exchange for 3,500,000 common shares per share Canadian to ZenaTech, Inc, a related party, at the exchange rate of 1.2691 $US to CAN$, as listed by https://www.poundsterlinglive.com/. Ameritek realized $661,887 revenue from this sale equally from the period January 1 through December 31, 2022.
Goodwill
The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit's carrying amount, including goodwill. The fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using a combination of the income, or discounted cash flows, approach, and the market approach, which utilizes comparable companies' data. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of the impairment loss must be measured.
The impairment loss would be calculated by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill to its carrying amount. In calculating the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the other assets and liabilities of that unit based on their fair values. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The Company's evaluation of goodwill completed during the past periods resulted in no impairment losses for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Change in accounting policy for goodwill during financial statements made during fiscal year 2023
The Company acquired Interactive Systems, Inc. in May 2021. The cost of the acquisition in excess of net tangible assets was $775,761. Of this amount $362,721 was associated with product development and amortized over a period of just under two years, which corresponds to the useful life of the asset. The remaining amount of $413,039 is associated with goodwill. Product development cost was determined based on the cost the Company would have incurred to develop the software acquired. Amortization expense was recorded correctly during the period since acquisition.
The Company incorrectly recorded the net product development cost as goodwill on the balance sheet and in the associated footnotes. Accordingly, goodwill on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was reduced by $42,457 and product development cost was increased by a net amount of $42,457. The amount of the reclass as of December 31, 2022 included gross intangible of $362,721 and accumulated amortization of $320,264. Product development costs associated with this asset as of December 31, 2021 included gross intangible of $362,721 and accumulated amortization of $150,435, which is a net asset of $212,286.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, certain historical accounts have been reclassified to comply with their treatment according to ASC. What was classified as goodwill in 2021 is classified as product development for 2022. Upon further consideration, discussion and review, the Company has reversed its previous classification of goodwill, separating goodwill from product development. There was no change in the accounting treatment. The Company has made various acquisitions and mergers historically. In the years of acquisitions/mergers, the Company has treated excess consideration paid in acquisition as product development (intangible other than goodwill) or goodwill. Although the same treatment was applied under the account title ‘Goodwill’ until September 2022, but was treated as product development, an intangible other than goodwill. In December 2022, the Company changed the nomenclature of this account from goodwill to product development. The previous year's figures as of December 31, 2022 are for twelve months in the balance sheet and have not been reinstated for the adjustments for change in the accounting of goodwill and product development. This is because of the change in the adjustments as stated in the above paragraphs that have been carried out in the current year.
The Company changed its accounting policy of classification of excess amount paid in the various acquisitions and mergers from product development (intangible other than goodwill) to goodwill for the financial statements as of June 30, 2023 and revised the useful life of reclassified product development cost in case of Interactive Systems, Inc.
The Company went to its original classification of goodwill in 2023. It does notcurrently amortize goodwill.
There is no effect for the year ending December 31, 2023 due to going back to the original treatment period of goodwill.
Beneficial Conversion Features
From time to time, the Company may issue convertible notes that may contain an imbedded beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature exists
17
on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note after first considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of warrants if related warrants have been granted.
The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to additional paid in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method.
Basic and Diluted Net Earnings per Share
Basic net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents,
consisting of shares that might be issued upon exercise of common stock options. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Earnings per Share
The basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the year. The diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as of the first year for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.
Dividends
The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during the period shown.
Revenue Recognition
We account for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”
Performance Obligations
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in ASC Topic 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s performance obligations are classified as deferred revenue on the balance sheet.
Our Company sells software with the following terms, twelve months, six months, three months and one month. Ameritek earns its revenue with the passage of time. Any unearned revenue is classified as deferred revenue. For each reporting period we prepare a schedule to separate the revenue earned from the deferred revenue and book the deferred amount. Deferred revenue are payments received from customers for products or services that have not been delivered yet. There are no costs associated with the deferred revenue since all the costs are incurred in day-to-day operations and through the passage of time.
Ameritek had $600,032 outstanding performance obligations comprised of deferred revenue as of December 31, 2024.
Ameritek had $105,007 outstanding performance obligations comprised of deferred revenue as of December 31, 2023.
Revenue Recognition
The Company designs and sells various software and maintenance programs to business enterprises including, among others, warehouse distribution to printing and battery manufacturing companies, and marketing services to financial services and insurance companies, printing, or advertising companies. Prior to shipment, each software product is tested extensively to meet Company specifications. The software is shipped fully functional via electronic delivery but requires some installation and setup.
Installation is a standard process, outlined in the owner's manual, consisting principally of setup, calibrating, and testing the software. A purchaser of the software could complete the process using the information in the owner's manual, although it would probably take significantly longer than it would take the Company’s technicians to perform the tasks. Although other vendors do not install the Company’s software, they do provide largely interchangeable installation services for a fee. Historically, the Company has never sold the software without installation. Most installations are performed by the Company within 7 to 24 days of shipment and are included in the overall sales price of the software. In addition, the customer must pay for support contracts and training packages, depending on their desired level of service. The Company is the only manufacturer of the software and it only sells software on a standalone basis directly to the end user.
The sales price of the arrangement consists of the software, installation, and training and support services, which the customer is obligated to pay in full upon delivery of the software. In addition, there are no general rights of return involved in these arrangements. Therefore, the software is accounted for as a separate unit of accounting.
The Company does not have vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price for the software because it does not sell the software separately (without installation services and support contracts). In addition, third-party evidence of selling price does not exist as no vendor separately sells the same or largely interchangeable software. Therefore, the Company uses its best estimate of selling price when allocating such arrangement consideration.
In estimating its selling price for the software, the Company considers the cost to produce the software, profit margin for similar arrangements, customer demand, effect of competitors on the Company’s software, and other market constraints. When applying the relative selling price method, the Company uses its best estimate of selling price for the software, and third-party evidence of selling price for the installation. Accordingly, without considering whether any portion of the amount allocable to the software is contingent upon delivery of the other items, the Company allocates the selling price to the software, support, and installation.
The Company doesn’t currently provide product warranties, but if it does in the future it will provide for specific product lines and accrue for estimated future warranty costs in the period in which the revenue is recognized.
Collection Policy
When all collections activities are exhausted and an account receivable is deemed uncollected, the company creates a reserve in the allowance for doubtful accounts. Based on management experience, which may involve obtaining a legal opinion on its collectability, the company will then write off the amount
18
uncollectible by reducing the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes as prescribed by the FASB Accounting Standard Codification, ("ASC"), 740 (Income Taxes). This method requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax return and financial statement reporting basis of certain assets and liabilities.
As required by ASC 740-10, "Income Taxes", the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. Management does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions which would have a material impact on the financial statements. The Company has elected to include interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. To date, the Company has not recorded any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
Advertising
Advertising is expensed when incurred. Ameritek spent $7,163 and $7,212, on advertising for the year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability to the Company. Where it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequence of the change to its financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s financials properly reflect the change. The Company currently does not have any recent accounting pronouncements that they are studying, and feel may be applicable.
Bansal & Co. LLP served as our principal independent public accountant for reporting fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
3.FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.
The Company does not have any financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The following schedules summarize the valuation of financial instruments at fair value on a non-recurring basis in the balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President, and our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2024. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our President, and CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2024 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure due to the material weaknesses described below.
Based on our evaluation under the framework described above, our management concluded that we had “material weaknesses” (as such term is defined below) in our control environment and financial reporting process consisting of the following as of the Evaluation Date:
1)lack of a functioning audit committee for the entire fiscal year resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal control and procedures; and
2)inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives.
A “material weakness” is defined under SEC rules as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.
A system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the our management and directors; and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management, and Related Stockholder Matters.
The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2024, as to each person or group who is known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding voting securities and as to the security and percentage ownership of each of our executive officers and directors and of all of our officers and directors as a group. There are no voting rights assigned to a natural person as of the date of this Form 10. The beneficial owner of the Preferred stock Series A, C, D and E cannot convert their stock where they own more than 9.99% of Common Stock shares.
Beneficial ownership is determined under the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power over securities. Except in cases where community property laws apply or as indicated in the footnotes to this table, we believe that each stockholder identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment power over all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by the stockholder. Shares of common stock that are currently exercisable or convertible within 60 days of March 29, 2024, are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the purpose of computing the percentage beneficial ownership of that person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as otherwise indicated, the address of each stockholder is c/o Ameritek Ventures, Inc. at 401 Ryland Street, Suite 200A, Reno, NV 89502.
